Charley Mellinger, of Vornonia, is said to have done better work in the road district under his supervision this year than was ever betoro accomplished in any district in (Nehalein valley. His methods have boen carried out on a practical basis and the good results are seen and and acknowledged by every body in that vicinity, lty the way. Charley has been favorably mentioned as a candidate for county commissioner next time, which would be highly satis factory to a great many people, not only in the Nehalem valley, but throughout tho entire county. Mr. J. C. Wilcox, bookkeeper for the Iiorthwlck Lumber Company, at Uoble, was in this city Wednesday morning. Mr, Wilcox stated that he did not think tho mill at Mooroavllle would bo oper ated after the Wrst of the year. The ana pension of operations of the firm will nave a demorliiting effect upon that com munity in a financial sense.- If a pur chaser for the plant ran be found it may continue to operate, but tho administra tor will settle up the all'airs of tho con cern and stop operation about the first of tho year. This town was taken by storm bmt Sat urday afternoon and evening by mem bers of tlio fraternal societies. It was the occasion of the annual election of olllccrs of tho Mnsonlo fraternity, and Masons trom everywhere wero very much in evidence. However, there were no serious results from the pres ence of the increased number of the members of that fraternity in our city. The presence of dozens of good men and true in a littlo town has a wonderful Influence for good. There wero many Odd Fellows in the city on the same evening, coming to attend the semi monthly meeting of their lodge. The now registration law says tbat every voter in this state before being el igible to exercise the right of suli'rnge, must register with the clerk of his own comity lietween the tirst Monday in Jan nary and 6 o'clock P. M. of the 15th day of May of each year in which a goneral state election is to be held. The law provides that every elector must regis ter either by appearing in the olllce of tho county clerk or by appearing before a justice of the peace or a notary pub lic. Under this law registrations will bo made free to the county by the olerk, but it will cost the county 10 cents each whero the registering is done before a notary or Justice of the peace. County Clerk Watts, sneaking of the law, Tues day, Bnid that he would make an effort to registor every voter in this county at his ollloe instead of having them appear before the justices and notaries through out the county, which latter course would in each caso involve an expendi ture of 10 cents by the county. It will be less work for tho clork if voters regis ter with the clerk than otherwise. All who can possibly do so will lessen labor and expense by appearing beforo tho county clork to register.

He waa silly enough to go no farther away than Grant county. He waa taken back by a deputy sherlll. We all remember of bearing so much about that great democratic paper which was to be started in Portland to fill a long-fult want, by a great man from Illinois, with 1-100,000 back of the schenio. 1 he naner waa started and named tho North west News, but it has shut up shop. There were not democrats enough in Oregon to support it. Any how, it was an anarchistic paper. No paper that caters to the lowest element of ignorance will be supported to any considerable extent in this good state. The intelligent people of Oregon have no use lor sucii a rag. St. Helens present a typical bard hard-times item this week. Flour, the best brands on the market, aeliing in a retail store lor 70 cents a sack. The nn portunee of tire thing is that there is atillicient money in the neighborhood wun wnicn to uuy and pay lor it. Everybody who wants work can find employment at good wages, yet he can step into the grocery store and buy the very uest quality of all Kinds of gro ceries as cheaply as he could a few years ago under the good uemocratic, free- trade, hard-times, no-work schedule? Why oppose a principle which makes an these things possible? Two dollars a day wages and 70-cent flour ie not a bud condition. Sunday evening about 7:30 the real dence of Charles Hart was discovered to be on lire, and before the local fire company and a host of volunteers ar rived, the building and its contents were entirely destroyed. The loss will amount to about 1000, covered with nsurance to the amount of $200. The stoves and the . greatest part of the household goods were removed a few weeks ago, and Mr. Hart was not in the house during the day. That the fire was of incendiary origin there is no question. It is generally presumed that the fire was started in order to attract a great many from home and then bur glarize a few stores and perhaps resi dences, but it this is the case, previously arranged plans did not materialize as we have heard of no thieving Sunday night. Kelso Journal, December 16. A disgruntled old codger turned up in town the other day with a song we hud not heard for over two vears. He said he would bave had a big and val uable fruit crop had it not been for the backward spring and the codlin moth. lie continued his tain ot woe by saving that the summer rains wet bis wheat. oata and corn ; hia horses had the heaves and the hogs were not doing well. Hie calves had the blackleg and the dogs feet were aore irom running lurougn tne grass. His cowa had eaten tar weed and the butter waa good for nothing but xie grease ; a polecat had batched out a litter of young ones under the barn, and the children were down with the whoop ing cough and ho was not feeling well "hissell." He attributed all this mis fortune to the republican administra tion, and llnlshedi bis wail by saying that McKinley was violating the consti tution by trying to keep the Philippines. nnd that tho country is going to the dovil because we haven't got free silver. A good many applications are being re ceived by the county clerk from the school district officers for the valuation of assessable property in the respective school districts. Tho clerk is unable to furnish the desired information at this early date because the assessment roll is not yet completed and until it is, noth ing definite can lie arrived at. The asacssmont roll will be completed by the tirst of the vear. after which the clerks will begin at ouce to compile the desired data, Which work will require at lean i twenty uays time, ii ine scuooi boards would call tlieir meetings for lovying.a lax for a date in January be tween the 20th and 25th, the clerk will then be able to furnish the information csired. This would also enable the school clerks to return to the county clerk tho amount of the levy before the first day of February, which in all cases must be done in order to have the levy extended on the tax roll. School boards will do woll to remember these facts, thereby saving themselves much trouble and worry. Ills; Battle in Portland. Not to have seen the great battle scene at the end of the third act of Shenandoah." which will be the at traction at the Marquam Grand in Port land for Christmas week, is to have mitsed one of the beet things that has been put upon the stage in recent years the dully newspapers of xsew xorit City are to be believed, for when Mr. Lilt presented this play at his Broadway theater last May, the battle scene was the talk of the town. It ta a scene in hich the awful carnage of war is shown itn a degree of realism that is astound ing. There are suuadrons of artillery, companies of infantry and squadrons ot cavalry. The scene represents tho bat tle ot Cedar Creek. At first the Union army 1b seen on the retreat, but Sheri dan arrives and the retreat is stopped. Defeat is turned into victory. There are over two hundred men and fifty horses used in this scene, and it ia won derfully realistic. TOauy a Lover Has turned with disgust from an other wise lovable girl with an offensive breath.

A child of James Van has been very ill for the past week with a laryng- lis, resembling membranous croup. The child is a year and a half old, a plump, healthy looking child, whose present critical condition excites the sympathy of the neighbors, who do what they can to care for the sullerer. the result of the disease is not encour aging. The Sunday School took the initiative n having a Christmas festival at the hurch ou Saturday evening of this week, at which appropriate literary and musical exercises will be supplemented by the exhibit of a decorated Christmas tree and distribution of presents. The enteruient will, no doubt, be well at tended judging from the crowd last year, when the attendance exceeded the ca pacity of the building. Prof. Knox bas been with ua a week lecturing on "Mental Science," aa bis posters state. The professor is s gen tlemen of fine presence and would seem to be capable of entertaining larger audiences than attend here. By the way. this mental science be advertises seems to be a modern title for phrenol ogy and seems to be easy to learn as he proposes in a course ot six lectures to teach others to "delineate" whatever that means for themselves. From the lack of financial success that attends most of the delineators that visit here, we prefer something with more money in it. Phrenological lectures bave of late years eeeined rather impractical as means oi livelihood. Among tho melancholy incidents of the past week was the fatal accident to Charles Hamilton, a young man who, while working in rerd Prahl a camp near town, was struck on the head by a limb of a tree broken off by the failing of another tree he had been assisting Uov Wood to cut down. He was un conscious when picked up and remained so until hia death, two days later. The accident occurred Wednesday afternoon. next afternoon he was carried to the train and taken to a hospital in Port- and, where he died a day later. The remains were returned to thia city Tuesday morning of this week and buried the aarue day in the Bryant cem etery. Deceased was a brother of Mrs. W. C. lluck. of this place, and was quite a favorite among the young people. A sail death occurred at Mist last eek. Emma, daughter of Mr. and , lieckman, complained of not feeling ell for a couple of davs, but nothing as thought of it until Thursday, when she developed symptoms that alarmed the parents, who started their son to Clatskanio for medical assistance. In a hort time she became unconscious and breathed her last, to the surprise and grief of her parents and friends, long uetore the doctor could get there. U pon hia arrival, after bearing the symptoms, he expressed an opinion tbat death was due to cerebral hemorrhage. The fu neral took place at the cemetery near the Swede church, at tbe edge of town. and was attended by a large concourse of neighbors and friends. Deceased was about 23 years of age, and well and favorably known in tbat community. A BUIIE CUKE POIt CKOUP. Twenty-dye Year' Constant Uae Without Failure. The first indication of croup is hoarse- noes, and in a child subject to that dis ease it may be taken aa a sure sign of the approacii of an attack. Following this hoarxeness ia a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy ia given aa soon as tho child becomes hoarse, or even alter the cronpy cough appears, it will prevent the attack, it is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land, and never disappoints the anxious mothers.
