United States Statute.

ASHLAND Oregon, Nov. &c. - Deputy
United States District Attorney c. E. Lock
wood and Postal Inspector Munro came out
from Portland this morning to attend the
examination of Charles Nickel, publisher
of the Democratic Times at Jacksonville.
before United States Commissioner Ham
mond, which had been set to take place
here to-day. Nickel is charged with vio-
lation of the United States statute in regard
to the publication Of an advertisement OF the
Louisiana State Lottery in his paper, and
sending it through the mails. The P0Stmas-
ter at Eagle Point in this county refused to
deliver the papers containing said adyer-
tisement and referred the matter to the
Postal Department at Washington with the
result that information was filed against the
said publisher in the United States court.
The case could not come to hearing to-day
because the Deputy United States Marshal
who was instructed to serve the warrant
failed to do so, owing, as he explained, to
the sickness Of Nickel, and the case will
now be taken to Portland instead Of being
heard here.

OBIIUA Al Y
MRS. c. N. C. PETERS.

Although the death OF the estimable lady
whose name stands at the head of this
notice took place four weeks ago, its an
nouneement at this time will carry none the
less pain to those who knew her, and of
whose death, which occurred at Niles, A la
media County, October 30th, they may still
be in ignorance. An intimate friend of the
deceased lady, writing to The CALL, says {:
- Her death is deserving OF mention, not be-
cause she was widely known, but because
she was so deeply beloved by all who did
have the good fortune to know her. She
never cared to win the fulsOme praise or
excite the envy Of her fellow-beings, but
lived for her husband and her children.
Yet she won all hearts and there were but
few who followed her remains to their last
resting place who did not shed tears of
genuine sorrow. She little dreamed Of the
hold she had on the affections of so many
outside of her immediate family. She was
cut down in the bloom of a noble woman
hood, having been but 26 years of age. The
family had just moved into their own home,
and it was the work of arranging it that led
to her uutimely death. With husband,
who was all in all to her; with her TWO
bright, beautiful babes; with a new and
tasty cottage. surrounded by every comfort
she seemed TO have everything to live for
So far as human knowledge goes, her death
could not have been more untimely.
Lizzie Tyson was born January 90, 1864,
and where her girlhood days were spent
amid great pleasures. She was married to
c. NJ. e. Peters January Is, 1887, and went
with him directly to his home in Shasta to
live. 1t was there she had first met him
during visit to some of her relatives. In
August, 1889. they returned to Niles, and
shortly after commenced the erection of
their new home, the terrible sadness of
whose dedication was kindly hidden from
their fond mag inings of the years to come.
During her last illness she had every care
that loving hearts and hands could bestow.
She expressed no foreboding of dissolution,
but in a sweet voice sang Nearer. My God,
to Thee asked what the doctor thought of
her case, recalled the occasion of the last
funeral she had attended, and then sank to
rest as quietly and peacefully as an infants
slumber. The funeral services were held in
the Centerville Episcopal Church and the
interment took place in the Irvington Odd
Fellows Cemetery. She left, besides her
husband, two children, Raymond Ashley,
aged 8 years, and Helen Elmina, aged 1
year. Her loss is nourned by the entire
community IN which she lived.
