DIR. Adolph Deitrick is in town from
Portland looking for location. We hope
he will find our little berg satisfactory
in all respects, as physician is needed.
Warm, clear, sunny days, with some
wind; beautiful, starry nights with little
or no frost is the April weather we are
now having. The fruit buds are burst
ing and from general appearances there
will be bountiful harvest.
Fall wheat and grass are looking
splendid and stock on the range can do
we'll now. We would ask the farmers
why more fall wheat would not be better,
as it has the advantage of the spring
wheat in having more time to grow.
The roads are well worked with the
exceptions of that from Boyd, which is
in such condition as to be almost i'm
possible to travel with light rig, let
alone heavy wool teams. Wewould like
to inquire if elections are bothering the
road supervisor, so that he doesn't at
tend to them.

QUIZ.
A TERRIeLE TEMPTATION.

An English Physicians Hungry Experi-
ence in Africa.
A real, fine old English gentleman
was DIR. Thomas Gunton, who, while
confabbing with a number of friends
in a prominent Washington resort re-
Gently, related number of interesting
experiences in his career. His later
years have been passed looking out for
sick people, in the Canadian wilds, but
his younger days were marked with ac-
tivity and no little adventure.
'SWhat do you regard as about the
most perilous position you were ever
in, doctora" asked writer for the
Post.
'Wen," nusingly replied the doctor,
Il am sure circumstance that hap
pened when, as a young man, had the
double Office of supercargo and surgeon
of an English trading vessel on the
African coast, left deeper and more
painful impression on my mind than
any other event in my life
His listeners gathered somewhat
closer, and the doctor went on:
''Our captain and the ships company
generally were pretty well acquainted
with the natives, and various kings
and priests and other men in authority

glass of rum, ETC., so it was not con-
sidered dangerous to go ashore and
make little excursions into the interior

knew whom to eat. and interest for
their personal welfare prevented their
mouths watering for the blood of an

with the mate, who got the notion into
his head that he wanted to kill two or
three gorgeously plumaged birds, cure
and dress their wing feathers and take
them home to his sweetheart. We got
separated in the jungle and 1 became
lost. I had left my pocket compass
aboard the ship and to save my life
couldn't locate myself. Well, / was in

Here the doctor made a grimace.

coast my nostrils met n most savory
odor. 1t increased my torment of
hunger tenfold, while my heart re-
joiced at the prospect of food; but to
my horror and fright 1 walked right

FOR STATE PRINTER.

<'The nomination OF w. II. Leeds for
state printer was complete surprise to
that gentleman, said Mr.. M. J. Ander-
son of Dufur, returning delegate, this
morning. ''He did not expect more
than to get complimentary vote, and
did not expect to be represented on the
second ballot at all. The Southern Ore
gon delegation sat directly behind us,
and during the nomination for state
printer one of them leaned forward and
said to me, why can't we do something
for Leeds?' Then some one nominated
him, and the galleries took up the cry,
Leeds Leeds! There was not man of
us knew who Leeds was or where he
came from, but during the ovation, the
delegates caught the infection and Leeds
was all the go. He got handsome
majority, but the galleries nominated
Leeds.'
The writer is well acquainted with Mr..
leeds. He came to Ashland from CAL
ifornia about a dozen years ago, penni-
8ess, and started the publication of the
Ashland Tidings. He was little more
than a boy, but his natural industry,
his correct habits, his push and intelli-
gence, soon gave him high place in jour-
nalistic circles of that section, a place
which he has ever since maintained
His greatest competitor and antagonist
has been Chas. Nickel of the Jackson
vile Times. Nickel is veritable Jay
Gould in field much too small for his
genius, and while he has pushed ahead
of Leeds on circulation of his paper, the
Times is neither so vivacious nor so
brainy as the Tidings, which has been
a powerful exponent of republican prin-
ciples. The convention made Emo mis-
take in nominating Leeds, if the nom
ination was one of chance.

1t Was Served by a Roman ArIstocrat and
Cost Nearly S25O,OOO.
In 1470 George Nevi1 was installed
archbishop of York, England, and gave
feast of extravagant cost. Here are
some of the supplies for the mighty
spread: Eighty fatted oxen, 800 hogs,
10000 sheep, 1000 chickens, 1000 ducks,
1000 bucks, does and roebucls, 800 tuns
of ale, 4O4 tuns of wine and other things
in proportion. The total cost of Nevils
banquet was upward of $3.50, ,oOO But
the very costliest meal ever served,
says the st. Louis Republic, as far as
history ever shows, was a supper given
by Aelin Verus, one of the most lavish
of the latter-day Roman aristocrats
The supper was only intended for
dozen persons, yet its cost was 6,OOO

in English money, or nearly $3.50, 900.
The celebrated feast given by Vitellius,
a Roman emperor of those degenerate
days, to his brother Luc1us cost frac-

besides other courses in proportion
Vitellius, fortunately for the world,
did not reign very long, otherwise the
game preserves of Libya, Spain and

here that it is recorded as a curious

the table of Emperor Heliogabulus was

Eating Before Sleep.

DR.. w. 7. Cathell in Philadelphia Record
Fasting between the long interval
between supper and breakfast, and
especially the complete emptiness of the
stomach during sleep, acts greatly to
the amount of emaciation, sleeplessness
and general weakness so often met with.
It is well known that in the body there
is a perpetual disintegration of tissue,
sleeping or waking; it is, therefore,
natural to believe that the supply of
nourishment should be somewhat con-
tinuous, especially in those whom the
vitality is lowered. AS bodily exercise
is suspended during sleep, with wear
and tear correspondingly diminished,
while digestion, assimilation and nutri-
tive activity continue as usual, the food
furnished during this period adds more
than is destroyed, and Increased weight
and improved general vigor is the result.
All animals except man eat before
sleep, and there is no reason why man
should form an exception to the rule.
am satisfied that were the weakly, the
emaciated and the sleepless nightly to
take light meal of simple, nutritious
food before going to bed, for prolonged
period, nine in ten of them would be
thereby raised to better standard of
health. He has found that after digest
ing bowl of bread and milk, or saucer
of oatmeal and cream, before going to
bed, for few months, a surprising in
crease in weight. strength and general
tone has resulted. Persons who are
stout and plethoric are recommended to
follow an opposite course.

PUBLIC OPINION.
A SEVERE COMMENTARY.

a SEN EhE COMAEN1Ah1.
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
1t is rather severe commentary upon
our civilization to find member of the
Ohio Legislature introducing an anti
,ynching measure in that body. The
bill in question embodies the idea of
Judge Tourgee, and provides that the
legal representatives of any person
lynched may recover $4,000 damages
from the county in which the lynching
occurred, and fixes penalty of one
years Imprisonment for attempts to
compromise such claims.
While it is extremely humiliating for
all law abiding citizens to admit the
necessity of such legislation, they can
not well deny it. This early in 1894
Ohio has been disgraced by two shock
ing affairs of the kind, while Pennsyl-
vania's fair name has been blackened by
one, to say nothing of two in Indiana.
In each instance these monstrous crimes,
while exciting tremendous indignation,
have gone unpunished. In Pennsylva-
mia the State and local authorities made
a bold pretense at bringing all the i'm
plicated parties to justice; but they were
either acting in bad faith, or have been
guilty of gross neglect of duty, andsthe
same is true in Ohio and Indiana.
Public sentiment may be weak on the
subject of lynching in the South, but nc
such claim can be made in the Northern
States, and every crime of the kind is an
outrage on the common sense of right
and justice. The Ohio idea, therefore,
while not radical, will no doubt meet
with general approval as step in the
direction of making these murders COM
paratively rare in the North, and there
is no doubt that its general adoption
would do much toward preventing these
stains upon the national character in the
future.

THE Democratic party has long had
great sympathy for the farmer and they
show it in the Wilson bill by placing
duty on all raw materials except wool,
and that is on the free list. Coal men
and iron men were able to get fair pro-
lection on their raw material, but the
farmer gets nothing on his wool. If the
flock masters of Ohio have one bit of
grit they will not only vote solidly against
the Democratic party because of this
unfair discrimination, but they will
work from now to next fall to defeat
the candidates of that party. The Dem
Gratis think the wool growers will not
retaliate, but in this they are mistaken.

Speaking French.

Speaking French.
A Tennessee chaplain, the Rev. J. b.
McNeilly. says that at Port Hudson his
regiment was encamped next to the
Thirtieth Louisiana, which was made
up of French speaking men The French
language, naturally enough, was q mys-
terry to most Of the rural Tennesseeans
One night all hands were in the
trenches. Farragut's feet was IN the
river, and an attack by land was also
expected The Tennessee boys, who were
close to the boys from Louisiana, no.
ticed that the frogs in the numerous
ponds were croaking incessantly in a
kind of low, continuous chatter.
''Hark, boysp' said one fellow.
''These frogs have been camped so long
by the Thirtieth Louisiana that they are
all talking Frenchi"
At another time some of the men
were Iounging by the riverside when
they heard some French speaking wom-
en-, who were engaged in washing, talk
ing to each other.
Suddenly one of the boys called to an
other, who was noted for his slowness
of speech:
'Come here quick, Sam, and hear
this woman talkl She can give just one
futter of her tongue and say more in a
minute than you can in week. -

In The aHuh n Oil Field.

Concerning the recent developments
in the GAINESVILLE oil and gas field the
Enterprise has the following: The wen
drilled by John Long reached the oil
sand last Saturday. Oil was found In
paying quantities, and the well is De-
lieved to be fully equal to the last, al
though the company had no means OIL
determining the quality. The keyser
well also reached the sand on Monday,
and as was expected developed large
flow of gas, and the Warren Company IS
consequently jubilant. This is believed
to be equal to the best we have hereto
fore had and when shot will probably
give 100000 feet per day. 1t insures
plenty of fuel to gas burners OF town
during the coming winter, and many who
were disgusted at the shortness OF the
supply last winter, and determined on
changing back to coal, will probably stick
| to the gas.

years of exceptional prosperity that the
Presidents appeal to social restlessness
was loudest and most declamatory. In
his message of that year he described
American cities as the abiding places of
wealth and luxury; manufactures as
yielding fortunes never dreamed of by
the fathers of the Republic; business
men as madly striving in the race for
riches; the working classes as over
whelmed with poverty, wretchedness and
unremunerative toll; wealth as the re-
suit of discriminating favor of the Gov
ernment and largely built upon undue
exactions from the masses, and the gulf
between employers and employed as
constantly widening with class legisla-
tion. That message its sympa-
thetic references to the farmers, ''long-
suffering and patient, struggling in the
race of life with the hardest and most
unremitting TOLL" and to the working
man, struggling far in the rear or
trampled to death beneath an iron
heel"-has supplied demagogues East
and West for six years with ammunition
against "the communism of combined
wealth and capital, the outgrowth Of
overwhelming cupidity and selishness,
which insidiously undermines the justice
and integrity of free institutions" and
sis not less dangerous than the COM
munism of oppressed poverty and toll
which, exasperated by injustice and dis
content, attacks with wild disorder the
citadel of power"
Americans ought at least to be just to
Coxey and the other fanatics who are
now heading for the "citadel of power
in Washington. They are demagogues
lusting after notoriety with or without
the help of the newspapers, but they are
mild and temperate in speech in COM
parison with the distinguished American
who inspired the discomfort of the
country with prosperity, arrayed class
against class, and brought on something
closely resembling social revolution in
the Populist movement. The tramps
invading Washington in Cleveland hard
times are converts to the Presidents own
doctrines. They have been slow in
coming, but they are there at last,
although he may be reluctant to welcome
them.

Don'ts For Parents.


Don't neglect slight ailment.
Don't forget to teach patriotism in
the cradle.
Don't forget to own Bible and an
American flag.
Don't be afraid to warn your children
to avoid bad children.
Don't forget to set the example of be-
ing good citizen.
Don't let children stay out of school
for trivial reasons.
Don't fail to remember that doctors
bill is better than an undertaker's.
Don't fail to teach hospitality. 1t is
becoming "lost art"
Don't underrate your responsibility as
parent.
Dor't think, if you can shirk the
drudgery of their care, you are relieved
of the responsibility.
Don't allow yourself to think your
children angels. You cannot train ce-
lestial beings out of your limited ex-
perience.
Don't imagine but that while you are
training children, they are training you.
Don't be afraid to answer questions.
Children learn in that way.
Don't be astonished if you see your
own habits repeated in your children's
habits.
