NEWPORT JOTTINGS.

The Christmas tree and enter
tainment held at the NJ. +. church
Christmas evening was a grand sue
cess, and everyone was very we'll
pleased. The time set for opening
the house was 7 o'clock, but there
were so many there before that
they had to open the doors fifteen
minutes before that time, and they
kept coming till s o'clock. The
entertainment commenced with a
song, followed with prayer by the
pastor, Rev. c. R. Ellsworth; then
a word Of welcome by Professor
Graves, the superintent of the Sun
day school. Hon. R. A. Bensell
was then introduced and gave us an
appropriate talk, the theme being
"'The American Flag" He car
ried the minds of his hearers back
to the the time when the Star ap-
peared to the wise men of the East,
and how it went before them and
led them to where our Saviour was
born. He then showed how the
flag represented that star, and how
it was carried before an army when
going into battle. He said that the
blue represented the beautiful SKY;
the stars the stars of heaven, the
red represented the blood of Chcist
that was shed on Calvary, and the
white the shawl that the Savior was
wrapped in. After this address the
superintendent proceeded with the
program that was gotten up for the
occasion by the committee, every
Que performing their parts well.
After the completion of the program

every body went home we'll satisfied.
Tie pastor was much surprised
when he got home and opened up
the armful of nice presents given
himself and family, and felt very
thankful to the donors therefor.
Prof. Graves, Mr.. Flowers and Mr..
Oliver, and Mrs. Oliver, Mrs.
Woodwork, Miss Daisy Ghormley
and Miss Flora Strayer deserve
much credit for their efforts in
making the tree success.

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if let to
run its course without the aid of
some reliable cough medicine is Ii
able to result in that dread disease,
pneumonia. We know o. no better
remedy to cure cough or cold than
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. We
have used it quite extensively and
it has always given entire satisfac-
ton. Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventative
of pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for
colds and la grippe we have never
yet learned of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia. Persons
who have weak lungs or have are
son to fear an attack of pneumonia,
should keep the remedy at hand.

An exchange says that Noah was
the first man to advertise. He adv
ertised the flood and it came through
all right. The fellows who laughed
at the advertisement got drowned and
it served them right. Ever since
Noah's time the advertiser has been
prospering while the other fellow is
being swallowed up in the flood of
disaster.

FROM OVER THE FOUNTAINS.

Rosland, Oregon, Dec. 20, 1897.
Thinking a line from one of Lin
coin county's wandering sons might
be interesting to the readers of the
LINCOLN COUNTY LEADER, l take
occasion to write few lines.
Hoping change of climate might
improve the condition of my health
l crossed the Cascade mountains i'll
October and am now teaching the
public school at Rosland; which is
situated on the upper Des chutes six
ty miles south and west of Prineville.
The valley of the upper Des Chutes
is about seventy-five miles in length
and twenty five in width and has an
altitude of fsomething over four thou
sand feet. East Des Chutes wends
its way in graceful curves through
beautiful meadow of native grass.
These meadows on an average are
half mile in width and on either
side is an abrupt raise of fifteen or
twenty feet. Then the bench land
extends for miles on either side of
the river, 1t is almost level and is
covered with black pine and bunch
grass. The soil is very poor, being
a light coarse sand or volcanic Gin
ders. Most all hardy vegetable are
grown successfully.
The Des chutes is one of the long
est rivers that raise in Oregon, and
hasa all of about four thousand feet.
In this valley it is very sluggish
and during the cold weather freezes
almost to the bottom, But after leav-
ing the big meadows which are six
teen miles below here it is very rapid
running through deep gorge.
1t drains nearly all the eastern
slope of the Cascade mountains that
arein Oregon. Looking to the north
west I see the snowy tops of the
Three Sisters, Broken top and Bach
lor mountain. To the Northeast l
see Pauline mountains and to the
south up the river just can see the
top of Diamond Peak.
The snow in the valley falls from
three to four feet deep every season
lays on all winter. But for all that
it is a good stock country, the nat
ural meadows along the streams
yield large crops of hay which is fed
to hundreds of head of cattle, horses
and sheep during the winter season
Rosland is the central station on the
OllNGI Lake dllu llnNlllC lndll lOulS'
The stages meet here two nights out
of every week change mail sacks and
return the next day to their respect
i've places.
The weather has been very pleas
ant so far excepting little cold and
that do not mind on account ofthe
pleasure it brings by freezing upthe
sloughs and making fine skating
which sport l enjoy very much. The
snow is now about six inches deep
but it is clear and cold.
/ have now been at Rosland six
weeks and feel that my health is
much improved.
You may hear from me again later
on.

ment, because it was feared the laymen
could not be trusted with the affairs OF the
church, such was an insult TO every Iay-
man in the church. Continuing, DR.. Houser
said: When man goes to the Methodist
church he must sit like knot on a log I'M
I'll he is slapped on the back and some one
says, Come. let's take up coIlectloh.
Then he is a great man. We are tired OF
monarchy, and, If it Is true that We get
what we want, as some of the laymen nave
contended, then l don't see what we are
here for"
Captain Ritter deprecated the spirit of
DR.. Houser's remarks. He said; we don
want this sort Of an expression 10 go out
into the world as it will do through the
medium of the press. This expression OF

was on the basis that there exists Sc
cret organization against us, and IL that
is true stand on what said;
been unable to find any one who dlsap-
proved this movement He had talked TO
the ministers and they did not seem to
oppose it. but in the conference there was
always the secret ballot Of opposition
against it. Major Binkley thought it would
be difficult matter to locate the class or
ministers belonging to this opposition. The
speaker did not sympathize with the talk
about the bishops r. n. Lamb was in ia
moderation. This thing could not be brought
about in a day Mr.. Lamb said he did not
know of a more helpless indlVidual imam
the Methodist preacher. He has to go
where he is sent and must take such com
pensation as the church will give him. The
speaker said the Methodist Church had no
financial system. He believed the church
drifting into congragationalism and
whether or not it would be as efficient as
in the past when it reached that stage,
was very serious question. Mr. Lamb relt
sure that whenever the church sends re-
spectfuI request for equal representation in
the conference 1t will get What it seeks.
Senator HOgate, of DanVille, made the dec
laration that the greatest autocrat in the
country is the average Methodist minister
in control of his congregation He thought
the church should control its own and that
a time for revolution was at hand. The
layman he said, are business men and
should look after the financial welfare of
the church Mr.. Hogate was in favor of
changing the charter under which the
church is conducted, curtailing the power
of the ministers
The meeting adjourned without another
conference being called. The chairman will
name the committees which he was directed
to appointed and make them public in
short time.

G. A. R. GENERAL ORDERS.
National Encampment to Be Held This
Year at Buffalo, n. Y.

Assistant Adjutant General Smock has
issued Department Commander Dodge's
general orders, No. 8, which contain some
of the Grand Army The department COM
mander recommends that commanders or
ganize county battalions to bring the posts
together, and that reunions of posts be held
at the same time that the w. r. G. hold
their district meetings. Inasmuch as an or
ganization known as the Ladies OF the
Grand Army is making an effort to estab-
lish representative relations with the Grand
Army of the Republic the following para
graph in the order is significant:
1.-THE commander desires to emphasize the
fact that there is but one auxiliary of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and that is
the Womans Relief Corps. Post COM
manderS and comrades are urged 10 give
this organization their earnest and undi-
vided support at all times Ii your post mas
no corps attached endeaVor to organize one
and to discourage the formation or other
societies that tend to weaken and destroy
the usefulness of the Grand Army OF the
Republic and our tried ana truSty auXlnary
the Woman's Relief Corps.
A large part of the orders is devoted to
the National Encampment, winch VIII be
ment headquarters will be in Rooms 122 and
124 Hotel Iroquois. The comrades or the
department will have free sleeping quar-
tiers in School building No. IL on Oak, near
charge of the building.
The Big Four has been selected by the
department commander as the official route
from indianapolis and the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern al the official route from
Elkhart These trains will meet at CleVe-
land Tuesday, July n, will be celebrated
as Grand Army day at the nineteenth an
nual session of the Chautauqua Assembly at

Superintendent Hert, of the Reformatory,
came to the city yesterday to make his
monthly settlement, and the April pay roll
of the institution was approved by the Gov
ernor II notice." said Mr.. Hert, in con-
versation with a Journal reporter, that
you fell into the error made by others that
the amount of money released by the Gov
errors approval was $4,000. 1t is but about
$4,000 The total administration expenses
of the Reformatory amount to about $50 600
a year, and this was but a six-months
period that was in question. Furthermore,
not dollar of this will be drawn from the
treasury by the board that is not needed,
and il will be drawn only as needed.
Il regard it as a most fortunate corcum-
stance for the Reformatory that the Gov
ernor accepted the invitation of the board
TO visit the institution and meet with them.
He stated to us when We were here week
ago that he would consent to what i'm
provements he should find necessary, and l
felt sure then that if he would visit the
Reformatory he would be convinced that
the board was not asking anything that
was not right and for the good of the

have made the Investigations before modi-
flying the specifications so as to permit this
company to bid.

Aperient Water COntrO-


In the suit of the firm OF Andreas Saxlehner, of
Euda Pest tEmile Saxlehner, proprietor), against
Charles Graef & Co., New York, the latter were
only nominal defendants as agents OF the Apol-
linars Company, London, the action being prac-
tcally against the London company. This is 1T
appears, the first suit against the Apollinaris
Company in this country, who on the other hand.
have on occasions been compelled to institute
proceedings against infringers of their trademark
rights. In view of this, well the prom
inence of the Apollinaris Company and the at
tention that has been directed to the Hungarian
Aperient Water controversy, the decision just
handed down by Judge Lacombe of the United
motion for a preliminary injunction, Is of in
terest.
Judge Lacombe's decision is to the following
effect: Saxlehner has right to the Red Dia-
mond label that was used by the Apollinaris
Company on the Hunyadi Janos label until
March, 1885, when II discontinued the sale of that
water and which is used by that company
it's "Apenta' Hungarian Aperient water
label
Having handled the original Hunyadi Janos so
long and become well known as the exclusive
importers of Il into this country, the Apollinaris
Company, when it took up another variety OF
water, was bound, in good faith to the public,
to offer the water in dress so different as
to challenge the attention of the purchaser TO
the fact that it is some other mineral water to
which the Red Diamond is now affixed This has
been done The label of the Apenta' water now
sold by the ApollinariS Company is totally unlike
the old Hunyadi Janos label"
Saxehner's motion for an injunction is conse-
ouently in all particulars denied, and the Apol-
linaris Company s rights to the Apenta label and
the Red Diamond thereon are sustained.
Briesan & Knauth appeared for Saxlehner, and
Edmund Wetrnore and Henry Melville for Charles

The committee having in charge the
project for free summer band concerts at

already subscribed. The subscriptions of $15
each were given with the stipulation that

ton to give three concerts each week for
ten weeks.
