Official County Paper, 0f QUNTY A PPIGIAL lid APER. farm Monte Burned. On lest Sunday evening at 645 a bright light was seen in the direction of Lebanon Monday morning It wat learned to be the farm Iioukc of Mr. Martin Payne, on one of hiit (.inns on the lbanon road, about five miles from this city. Mr Payne on. in-law was stopping at the place for a few days with his wife and child, preparing some bacon and hams for market. At about the time mentioned Mrs. Parsons with her child were in the house together when suddenly, while playing, the child swung a broom against the lamp, upsetting it, causing it to burst, the fire spreading and catching the clothes of the child, as well es in a five gallon can of coal oil in the corner of the room. Mrs. Parsons saved the child by tearing its clothes from it, so that it was uninjured. The building burned so fast that it was completely destroyed, it being Impossible to do anything to save it. The loss will be between four and five hundred dollars, on w hich there was no insurance. What little there was In the house was saved. As it was only being ucd tempor arily that was small. All IWlssmtes. That "ghost story" about the Jail has spread around and been exaggerated so much that some have gone so far as to be come interested. As a matter of fact there is nothing in it, and it was a foolish piece of business to start it in the first place, as it has caused unnecessary talk. Sheriff Charl ton informs us that a pounding noise is heard in the cells sometimes till as late as midnight 1 but of course it is known what the source U. The only uneasiness it has caused Is the Inability 40 sleep, and of course that is an immaterial thing to pris oners who have all day in which to sleep if they choose. They ought to be ashamed of themselves for keeping other people awake. Curl IscMcst. A curious incident comes to our notice. Recently while in the East a lady was given a picture of an alleged Chicago young man by the hotel keeper's wife where she was stopping. Coming to Albany a citiaen of this place recognized it immediately as the picture of a well known clerk here, who called on the lady and laid claim to it As he only sent two like it East, one to a sister and the other to a gentleman friend living in an entirely different part of the country there is a great mystery to him as to how it ever strayed so far. That it should reach the original in the hands of an absolute stranger in this big far west makes the case a peculiar one. Cartas iv From a letter from Mr. R. A. Knighton of Guy, W. T., we glean the following . "We have as fine a country as even Old Webfoot ; have had snow but all is gone excepting a few drifts. Sunshiny weather for over a week vjrast growing wo I , . , ,, , 1 violets in bloom since before Christmas. Farmers will soon be plowing if it does not freeze. Think no cattle died here during the winter. They are doing well. Guy has a good school with 44 scholars, Mr. Hoke Roberts being the instructor. Every Saturday night there L an Eltsium in town . J Guy is situated on the South Palouse River, 12 miles southeast of Colfax on the O. R & N. R. R,' Aafccr'Kxrllea Aaaatalmeat President Cleveland has appointed Hon. L. L McArthur, of The Dalles, to be United States District Attorney in place of Hon. T. F. Watson whose term has expired. This appointment reflects much credit upon the President in the performance of this part of his manifold duties. Mr. Mc- Arthur is a capable lawyer, a finished scholar, a polished gentleman and a consis- tent Demociat. If the President could ksow Mr. McArthur as the people of Ore- gon do, he would be happily contented with his selection. I BealB af Hiss Hs 4iear. Miss Lizzie Geary, daughter Rev. Geary formerly of this city, died at Eugene on last Saturday at the age of about thirty. Fun eral services took place on Monday, when the remains were buried in this couuty Miss Geary was a graduate of Mills Sem-( inray. She was a young lady of most esti mable character. There are many in Al bany who have kindly remembrances of ar her, who extend their sympathies to the be reaved parents in their great lot. m - sweatee Te.lat Remember that at the Opera House this (Friday) night the drama "A Duel in the Snow" will be presented for the Albany Brass Band, by the cast given in our las1 issue.

Dr. O'Toole, who recently purchased the Arnell property on First Street, is having the plans drawn up for a hotel, to be con Ktructed this summer.

A fiftteen year's coat of smoke and dust is being removed this week from the Demo crat's composing room, the largest and most convenient of any in Oregon. The transfomation is a remarkable one. What was as black as an ace of spades is now as white a as, well we give it up. Talk of the traditional printers towel that stands alone ; the walls of our composing room last week would have literally cast the darkest in the shade. Messrs. Cox & Spren ger have done wonders. They whitewashed everything. If this is a whitewashed issue it is due to them.

Bacon and Miss Annie Bentley were united in marriage at Arlington, &. inc occasion being one of the greatest and moat enjoyable in the history of Arlington. The wedding was followed by a grand reception which took place at Ralston's Hall, three or lour hundred being present, including the Arlington nana, vrier remarks uj mayor Thomas and W. G. Brown, the festivities closed with a dance. The number of pres ents given the happy couple was very large, over a hundred, including a parlor stove 1 parlor lamp, china tea set, silver knives and forks, table and stand covers, silver sugar bowl, silver butter dish, ornamental clock, silver cake dish, linen napkins,ln fact every thing from a broom to a saw buck and ax This was the first wedding ever held in Ar lington where the parties resided there, and everybody was in earnest. The local paper in a column article on the event made the remark : 'We do not think there is a more popular couple in the city, and we doubt if another such wedding will take place here for many a long day." The bride is a form er resident of Albany, where she has many friends, who extend hearty congratulations HeelaWa. Ladies and gentlemen of Albany, the Y W. C. T.

It is a good idea to practice what one preaches. Even snails could find fault with each other. It is an easy thins to pick a flaw in anything from a pumpkin to a man. Those who bet on the location of the O. P. bridge across the Willamette have the chances against them. It has been placed all the way from four miles above Corvai- is to below this city. You cannot afford to osc new hats on such a matter. We have reached that pass in Oregon where the five cent pieces have to be saved in order to get along. It is as honorable to saw wood as to BP meat bones, sell calico, or write a brief. The money expended for sawing wood in Albany amounts to several thousand dol lars a year. Now it goes to Chinamen. It la the fault of white men that they do not get it Stkktoativeness is what counts in the race for a living. Dull times are sometimes a disease of the brain. It is the rustler in Oregon that gets along best There are too many who are waiting for something just suitable to their exalted natures to turn up. It is an old saying that small leaks not attended to grow large. A tea Burly An effort should be made to have Prof. Garrigus the eminent scholar and orator of Independence to lecture at Albany.

The result was made apparent the next day when a large body of men collected the Chinamen of the city and drove them with their baggage to the wharf whoie the "Queen of the Pacific" was wnltlng to sail. The local authorities were powerless to net. Tickets were bought for 100 Chinamen who were placed on the boat, glad to get away from the place. The steamer, of course, would take none with out tickets, ami filled her hose with hot wat er for self protection. The Mayor appeal ed to the Governor, who issued a procla mation commanding the mob to desist ; but they treated it with defiance, In fact, most of the police officers of the city arc said to have lool.nl on in u helpless sort of a way. What effect violent measure like these will have In the end Is a matter of speculation. Reaction Is feared. Certainly it is a fact that the law-abiding, best elc mcnt In society is opposed to such lawless measures. Through the Willamette Val ley, at least there is a growing, fixed opln ion tint the proper way to get riil of the Chinamen Is to freexe them out by n t employing them. Pass It around. WHAT HOME COM) LEAP 1)1 P. OB Monday all of the Celestials were taken before Judge Green on a writ of ha beas corpus and told that they could go or not as they pleased.

Religious services are being held each J evening in two of the churches of the city We must confess that it has been a long time since we have seen such inexcusably bat! conduct on the part of a number of young men who kept iroine in and out at the door during the entire evening's service We think those present will bear us out in the statement titat there was scarcely a period of five minutes that some one was J This I not passing In or out of the door was embarrassing in the extreme to the minister and his audience.
