A New GRUBBER.-Geo. Strope,
of near Philomath, has invented
new grubbing machine which is
destined to reyolutionize the work
of clearing land of grubbs and
small-sized timber. The manner
of its working is by. series of pull
leys-eight in number, which,
with ropes, are so arranged that
one horse does most of the work.
1t is said that by its use two men
with the horse) can do the work
of four in the same amount of time.
The leverage power OF the machine
is about sixteen feet. One thing
especially claimed for it in the
clearing of oak grub land is that
the larger the tree the easier will
the machine work. G. G.. Newton
has had one in operation on his
place during the past week and
praises its workings very highly.

THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE LIGHTS
That beautiful chandelier, which
has been hanging in Roses cigar
store for the past week. is the one
which will be suspended from the
center of the ceiling in the circuit
court room Of the court house. It
will have six incandescent lamps of
80 candle power attached to it
with porcelain shades of exquisite
designs above them. Mr.. Fryer
has finished the wiring of the build
ing and is now engaged in attach
ing the lamps to the wires in the
different rooms. 1t would be
capital idea to place light i'll front

easily. The expense would be but

fBelford's Nagazne.)
During the strongest and most
hopeful days Of the late Southern
Confederacy many households III
Virginia were without tea or coffee
for months at a time.
Sometimes a very small quantity
was kept in reserve for a special
visitor or occasion, the family sui
stitutlng le,yes Of various plants
for tea, such as sage, raspberry, etc
On one of General Lees visits to
Richmond he called to see relative
who lived in that city. She was
an elegant lady, who, with heI
sweet manner, made everyone who
approached her feel comfortable
and happy.
Though she was enjoying the
pleasant society Of the General very
much, she excused herself and LETT
the room for few moments.
While she was out she ordered
tea to be brought to the library
She knew she had but very small
quantity of tea-Only enough for
two cups-which she wished served
for General Lee and her husband.
She returned to the library, and
when the tea was brought in she
said to General Lee: Cousin Robert.
will you have cup of tea"'
lie replied: "Certainly;" and
proceeded to drink it; but seeing
the lady did not partake of it he
stopped and said: LAS Tefre shine
as this is l cannot enJoy it unless
you Join me-"
His cousin, knowing that from a
recent freshet the James River
water, winch is drank in Richmond
was very muddy and of the color
Of strong tea with cream in 1T
beckoned her servant to bring hel
q cup Of water, which she drank as
tea.
General Lee drank the tea, anG
declared himself greatly eXhilaratcC
by the delicious beverage, and hop
ed his cousin was equally so.
The lady smiled and said: II an
more refreshed by your visit thar
the tea"
General Lee left, and even died
without knowing that MS cousin
had drunk water while he drank
tea. MARIA DORSET.

FATAL FIRE.
An Entire Block in Denver, COL,
Destroyed.
A Hotel Among the Buildings, and Ono
Man Known to Have Been Burned
to Death, with Possibly Two
Children.


Fire broke out in the rear of the M.
L. Todd's lumber yard on Ninth and
Laramie streets, Denver, Col, at II
o'clock Wednesday night and, notwith-
standing the fire department, which was
quickly on hand in response to two
alarms, the flames had spread nearly all
over the yard before the water could be
turned on. The flames quickly passed
to the St. Elmo Hotel, Meyers Liquor
Company and CLEARS drug store, while
a number of small residences across the
alley we're given up to the flames.
While the fremen were doing all in
their power to keep the flames from
jumping across Laramie street, where
we're located number of business
blocks, the entire block between Ninth
and Tenth streets and Laramie and Mar
ket were seething masses, but is under
control unless a strong wind comes up.
One unknown man was burned to death
in the hotel, and his charred remains
now lie at the coroner's. 1t is reported
that another man and two children were
caught in the same building and de-
stroyed. The truth of this rumor will
not be known before Thursday when
the inmates of the hotel will be account
ed for. The cause of the fire is not
known. The loss can not be accurately
estimated but will probably be over
800, 900. 2:15 a. m. The Wells elevator,
the largest in the city, has been totally
destroyed by fire. Two other large ele-
vators and number of adjoining ware
houses are now in flames, and the fire is
spreading rapidly along the lake front.

ANOTHER WRECK.
A. Wild Freight Dashes Down q
Grade on the q. g. q. Road,
Passing Through Sleeper ON an Inter.
secting Track, Smashing 1t Into
Splinters-A Dozen Phssen-
gers Painfully and sdri-
ously Injured.

A serious accident occurred early Fri
day morning at Junction City, KY,
where the Knoxville branch of the Lou
isville and Nashville crosses the Cincin-
natl Southern. The place Is about four
miles from Danville. A freight train
went crashing through sleeper-car, cut
ting it in two, and tearing the two por-
tions almost into splinters. The eleven
passengers in the sleeper were tossed
about, and all were more OF less injured.
The list is as follows: H.. f. Tousley,
of Belvidere, ILL.,, hurt about the head
and possibly injured ternally. I. j.
Wheelock, of Findlay, O., zlightly
hurt about the head and neck. d. B.
Shaler, wife and son, of Findlay, O.,
all slightly bruised. Mrs. s. w. Wheeler
and little child, of Milwan nlhee, Wis.
Mrs. Wheeler's knee badly hurt and the
child's head badly cut NJ Austin, OF
st. Paul, Mimi, who was taking the re-
mains of his mother to Cincinnati for
interment, badly cut and bruised. Thos
ii. Coleman, of Hornersville, N. Y, arm
slightly hurt. T. Ricks, colored porter,
of Cincinnati, hurt in the back. G. II.
Crockett, another colored porter, also ct
Cincinnati, both legs hurt. T. B. Mears,
the engineer, and Fred Graves, the fire.
man of the freight train, stunned and
painfully bruised. The cause Of the
accident was the inability of those in
charge of the freight train to control
the brakes. Z. M. Mears, the engineer,
and Fred Graves, the fireman, stood to
their posts, although their engine left
the track and almost ran into the L. and
N. freight office, distance of nearly
fifty feet. -Four freight cars were de-
molished and the engine badly dam
aged. The freight train plowed its way
throught the sleeper and then left the
track, running into the freight depot.
How the occupants of the sleeper escap-
ed instant death is a mystery, as the car
was almost wholly demolished, espec-
tally the end in which Mr. Tousley, Of
Belvidere, H., and Mrs. Wheeler and
her little daughter were sleeping. Mr..
Tousley's berth was right in the track
of the freight engine, and his escape
was miraculous He was struck in the
head and picked up for dead, and never
regained consciousness until after his
wounds were dressed. The case of Mrs.
Wheeler and little baby was particular
ly sad She had been on visit to friends
in Atlanta, Ca, and was returning home,
intending to take her father by surprise,
and the first intimation of her coming
was when he received the message an.
nouncing the accident.
