An exchange says that "a fluent and grace
fui conversationalist is always in demand in
society,"" Ii this is true ii is rather remarkable
that book agents are so often compelled 10
leave the premises wi,hou, having time to
open the gate.
No other spring medicine has won for itself
such universal confidence as Ayers Sarsapa

to be the best blood purifier.

We call attention to the ad. of McGregor &
Shaw in this issue. They are buying all kinds
oflive stock here for their shops in Portland.
They are not buying on commission but for
themselves and pay the highest cash price.
They have shipped so car loads of stock from
Roseburg in the last six months.
Hon. J. w. Hamilton of Roseburg is
spoken Of as very strong man for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress, il he would
accept the same. He is the most popular
man so far mentioned for the place, and if
there is so much anxiety in Washington to
place Oregon in the Democratic column, Mr..
Hamilton should be the nominee .-Umpqua

nyou want garden seeds cheap go to Barker
& Willis. They placed several boxes full of
packages of garden seeds in front of their store
one day this week, when someone, evidently
Pecks bad boy) put sign upon the box Stake
one, which was done by several Of the passers
by, before it was noticed by the proprietors.
The sign was taken down and the amount taken
charged to the Bad boys father, we presume.
We received a souvenir from the New York
World this week showing by diagrams on a
number Of cards fastened together by cord
and tassel, the World buildings with all the
different apartments, also a picture of the
press which is the largest printing press in ex.
istence. We hereby tender our thanks for
the same, and when THE REVIEW grows to
the proportions of the World we will return
the compliment.
1t is rumored that Paul Bruckner and anoth.
er man were frozen to death in Eastern Oregon
during the cold spell recently, but this is only
a rumor and we hardly credit it as being true,
in fact we do not believe the rumor TO be
true. Later, we learn from Jep Green who re-
ceived letter from his son in Eastern Oregon
stating that Paul Bruckner started out to hunt
stock during the storm and had not been heard
| from for two weeks.
The position Of the two great parties of the
country may be stated in short, as follows:
The people are taxed $Ioo, 900, 900 yeal
more than the necessities of the government
require. The Republicans say keep up the
taxes, to enrich favored classes, and spend the
surplus some way, it matters very little how.
! The Democrats say reduce the taxes to the
actual needs Of the government, and leave the
unnecessary taxation in the peoples pocket
1t is passing strange that voters outside o
the lew favored industries should hesitate a.
10 which is the best policy for the masses o
the people.
| Junction girls have struck new and move
plan to get new silk dresses, as follows: The,
single out some victim and find out his senti
ments toward herself, and if they are uniayor
able, invites the gentleman to see her. Ther
he is doomed. Well, he comes; she make.
him promise to grant her favor or pay thu
penalty, and of course, as any gentleman
should, he agrees to the arrangement. Ther
she pops the question. Horrifed! Well
she gets the dress. It has been intimatet
that this practice is about to be inaugurates
in Eugene, and we know Of several gentlemen
who are willing to pay for silk dresses or
marry the girls.-Guard. We suspect tn
ladies of Roseburg will be adopting this plal
next.
