TO THE Pl'BUC,
The Star presents itself this week
under a now management and with
increased facilities for publishing a
first-class weekly paper in every re
spect. ‘ We have assumed control of
the paper with an unalterable deter
mination to make it a newspaper that
will reflect credit upon the .county,
and we hope to be able, at the same
time, to moke it profitable to our
selves.
A newspaper is not only the medium
of public sentiment,'but in its col
umns is always ■ to be found the evi
dence of public spirit and progress of
the people among whom it circulates.
There is no other means for the world
to determine correctly the character
' of the community and the prog-res-
siveness of the citizens of it, save by
reference to the newspaper it supports.
Say what you will, the world’s, esti
mate placed upon the county and its
institutions, its people, resources and
advantages, is derived chiefly, almost
entirely, fronoi this source.
This being so, it behooves every
man, woman and child whose interests
are here, to give the county paper all
the support and encouragement possi
ble, for in so doing every interest is
fostered and promoted. The editor
pledges himself to ad vance these inter
ests in -every possible way, and only
asks that our people-may appreciate
his efforts and give the paper the
proper support. The interest of the
editor and the people is a common in
terest, and tlie prosperity of the peo
ple means the prosperity of the editor.
Thus we are united, and “united we
stand, divided we fall;” and the fall
would be a serious one, for at this time
every section of the South is attract
ing the attention of capital, and enter
prises are springing up under its magic
-touch at .places, so m e of which do not
afford one-hall the advaw^ges of our
own county. We ha^Biere fertile

People of Prominence Whose Deaths
Were llecorded in the Year 388?.
Death was very busy with his sickle
during 1887, and he found many a shin
ing mark whereon to exercise his dread
ful skill. Though not quite so fatal to
eminence as the year before it, its earliest
days beheld many great men who were
not during its latest. The January
record includes the names of three gen
erals, one of them “Old Probs,” one
clergyman—Bishop Potter—two scien lists,
one commodore, one famous ship builder,
one famous gun Inventor, an eminent
statesman and a great, advocate. Febru
ary noted the death of a novelist, a poet,
two generals, a cardinal, a commodore
and the founder of a great beneficent
secret order.
With March passed away a devout sister
who, as relative of a great political figure
had an opportunity shortly after the last
great presidential contest to throw some
light on a disputed question, a magazine
.publisher, a great preacher, an eminent,
engineer, a poet and a philanthropist.

|Pr West the people have
’"'plenty of capital and are ‘anxious to
invest it, and we appeal to the public
to give us this year a generous support
in order that we may, through the
columns of The Stab, place our re
sources and advantages before the
people of the country, everywhere.
s Be assured that the support you give
will not only be appreciated by us, but
in the why we have suggested will be
repaid to you ten-fold in the near
future. We trust and believe that
every thinking man will appreciate
the situation and will do all he can to
accomplish our object in view, to in
duct capital to come among us and
develop our resources and build up
enterprises, and thereby enhance th4
value of our property, and afford
other and profitable employment to
our laboring class.
If the people of our county will sus
tain us, we wili place, before the world
yfhat we claim for Douglas county,
when this is done in the proper
'way our County will enter into an era
• of iprosperity never before equalled,
an4 capital, in its onward march, will
t'Mo*pags us by.
• ^ • Another reason we desire to place
i before the people of the county for
. aAftskihg their undivided support for the
paper, though a personal one, will, we
;.|hope, be appreciated. Having pur-
*«|$|j&as<9d the interest of our former part-
^|j^et*|loii. J. S. Janies, we have sad-
. (filed ourselves with a large debt, and
reason are compelled to bring
3 4 boat every energy to make tlie pubi
icattoti of this paper a success, in order
to meet our engagement. We have no
other means to discharge this debt ex
cept in the successful management of
the paper. Such being the case, it is
of course vitally to our interest to
devote every effort in furtherance of
the proper publication of the paper.
It'is our solemn piomise to do this
thing, and we earnestly hope and ex
pect to ■■ receive’a liberal patronage.
Let usmil—editor and people—put our
shoulders to the wheel and boom our
County as she has never been boomed

MAN’S CARELESSNESS.
Fires, Explosions, Collisions and. a. Host
of Other Accidents.
Scarcely less- appalling than the list of
elemental casualties is that of the accidents
of 1887, that may jjj attributed almost
wholly to the carelessness of man, the
greatest sufferer. Tlie year that is passed
will go down in history marked with the
shameful record of Chats worth, Kouts,
the Tin Bridge, and the Woodstoclv acci
dents. The worst; feature of all these ac
cidents vvas the dreadful car stove. With
out this terrible relic of the primitive in
railroading in our trains, few, if any, of
the more horrible features of these acci
dents woul^. have had to be recorded, and
it is gratifying to be able to record the
fact that during the past summer many
of the best American railroads, were very
busy at the work of experimenting with
steam heating of railroad trains, and this
Winter not a few cars are kept warm with
steam supplied direct from the boiler of
tlie locomotive.
Not less horrible than the railroad acci
dents of 1887,' however, were the'theatre
disasters, and America may congratulate
herself that none of the greatest of these
calamities took place on her soil. ? France
and England were the sufferers. The
problem of safe theatre building has long
been known to be an intricate one, but it
would seem that only a few more sueh
appalling catastrophes as the burning of
the I Opera Comiquo in Paris and the .
Theatre Royal in Exeter would be needed
to stimulate some ingenious architect to
Its (complete solution. *
,u An accident of a quite-differentr"stTrt7
ami more terrible in its possibilities, for
Ili^ately-itofc-rejHisjed^case, was the
explosion of escaped naphtha tiiider four
mifes of tlie streets of Rochester, N. Y.;
» the possibilities in this case will come
koine to all dwellers in .cities, whouiives-
figate the amount of inflammable material
that is carried under' their streets and
iomes and places of doing business.

It is indeed a black rofcord that follows.
Tho evil minded enjoyed (what; a word to
use here) a very^earnival of crime during
the year 188-7. - ‘ - K-(■
The most notable of the bank failures
of the year was -that ; of tlie Fidelity
National bank of Cmclrinnti, wrecked by
E, L. Harper. Harper placed his, faith in
Ins ability to corner ’all the wheat in ex
istence and proposed to get' fabulously,
rich at a stroke. - His failure to com pass
this object notonly carried.him down, but
took with him many more, some nearly as
guilty as himself, but spine quite inno
cent. lie got his reward] before the close
of the year.
Boodledom suffered somewhat of a set
back during 188-7,. but its rebuke was not
nearly so effective in New York as in Chi
cago,- for while several public plunderers
have been summarily placed iu durance
vile -in the. western city, and but one
.escaped—McGarrigle—only two or three
are suffering: in New Yor.6, aJfff the king.
boocUer—Sharp—is, through a technical
ity,. free,, perhaps to remain so.
The most picturesque crime of the year
was'' the stealing of a ; gre-tt amount of
cash, and bonds by yoifng McNeally, a
bank clerk, wlio was little more than a
.babe) .it Saco, Mo lie lied, hut was lo-
cated only a few. days ago—in Canada—
and nhw. comes the cheerful hews; that lie
is to remain free'- as long ns be .remains
iWerff, for his o'fb l!so is nbc .-x-lrnditable.
Perhaps ili<-ri will son!.-. Itmivh.ea.de-

and intending defaulters c|h help it. 3
