Any way we give It a place In this column O We are again reminded of the old fable about the dog's dropping his piece of meat for the shadow of it in the water, by Prof. 9 ST Miller's resigning hia professorship in the Philomath College to run for Congreaa on the Prohibition ticket.

This Circle now numbers twenty members. As a new year will soon begin young or old people desiring a first-class literary education may well conskler the importance of the Circle. The course is a regular College course boiled down into Engliah. It takes four years to complete it, and when finished will give one as good a literary education as a four years course in the best College. The reading is all ar ranged in an interesting manner, by the best authors, and can easily be mastered by any one having an average of an hours time to give to it each day. Any one from any part of the county, desiring to join the Circle after the summer vacation, can re ceive the necessary information from any of the members, to-wit .

Cu t rtad Then. Several incidents have come to u of par tie hunting for lots owned by them at the Bay. One man is said to have even taken a surveyor and made a search for two lots in Alexandria, the name of a rocky, sidehill there, but without success. Others have hunted for land marks, but in vain. Evi dently there has been some looseness some where. Some day there will be a fine, thriving city, at the Bay, perhaps right at rocky, slabsided Alexandria, there is no teding, for some of the largest of cities are built on side hills, and then the owners of lots will want to know whether they are the owners of the lots on which the $300, 000 custom house will stand, or some other f .-How. It is high time that the originators of the scheme put some colored stones at t'e corners of the streets. list m Hr riant a Acrid rati. Last Friday or Saturday at Lebanon a peculiar accident, with not a very serious result, happened at Lebanon. At the Mc Donald place, Mr I F Conn was standing on the ground by the building being con structed, when a workman on the scaffold ing about fifteen feet above, slipped and fell headlong towards the ground. Just at that instant Mr Conn bent forward, the falling man striking him in the back, bounding off on another workman near by. All of them were well stirred up and that was about all. They had reason to congratulate themselves that a broken neck or two was raot the re sult. A Cnaage- Y ester day Mr. Francis Pfeiffer bought a half interest in the soda works, candy fac. tory and business generally, of Hoffman & 'Joseph, Mr. Joseph retiring. This has been a popular institution here, and Mr. Pfeiffer is of the proper kind of metal for helping to keep up its good reputation. It is a business that will grow with Albany, we predict to considerable proportions. Mr. Joseph, the retiring member of the firm has been in active business here for years, and is entitled to a resting spell. Baeter. Easter services were held at the Catholic Church on Sabbath, and appropriate ser mons were delivered in most of the other churches. Rather more than the common amount of flowers indicated that there is a general appreciation that the spring time is here with the biggest part gone.

On Thursday evening of last week friends of Misa Lucy Welch surprised her at the residence of Hon. Geo. E. Chamberlain In the Third Ward, the result of which waa an e veiling passed in a most enjoyable and en tertalning manner. The immediate cause of this was the approaching time for Miss Welch to depart for her home in Natchea, Mississippi, which occurred on Saturday Miss Welch has been in A then v about a year, during which time ahe has ob tained a place in the hearts of many of our people, her estimable qualities and high accomplishments making her friends with all with whom she has come in contact. It is to be hoped Miss Welch will conclude to return to Albany and make this her per manent home. Tbey 4 net Bite. Last week an agent of the O. R. &N. Co. was in the city canvassing among our busi ness men for contracts for freight from San Francisco, his figures being $5 a ton. Here as well as in most of the other valley towns he got well set down on. Billy Rice, travel ing agent of the O. P. got In ahead of him at every point. Cheaper rates and quicker transportation took the wind completely out of the O. R. & N. sails. Valley mer- of chants have not forgotten the time when the O. R. & N. Co. had them under their heels. The O- P. is doing the square thing by them and every last "mothers son" of a busineaa man in this part of the State la going to stand by It so long aa it continues iu good conduct. The O. R. & N.

From him we learn that the ''Yaquina,' which was due Saturday had just arrived mm he waa leaving Yaquina City, about sax. o'clock, an the morning. Great uneasiness was being, oc casioned by its long, delay, a tug hawing been sent out to hunt it up. On It arrival it was learned that a hard, storm waa the cause of the delay. It had a good passen ger list and a large amount of freight for valley towns. The manner in which it stood the storm showed it to be a eefe aea going craft. fttJtl iimmm. The Democrat a long time ago offered a year'a subscription to this paper for the first salmon caught in the Willamette at this city presented to us. We never receiv ed an answer to the offer for good reasons. The aame is still open. We are as anxious as ever for the $2.50 salmon. By the way, permit us to ask the scaly question : How do salmon take to the fish ladder, that mon strous institution which we longed for, but got only to find it a greasy soap bubble ? Ipses. Ed. Comely and a Spake boy are said to have lost $15 In money, a gun and a few other things by the upsetting of a boat in the Willamette a few days ago. They were towing some logs down the river to the saw mill when the boat was upset by running into the ferrv, all of its contents being dipped into the river, the money be ing in a coat pocket.

As our readers would know no more about the matter if investigated and found that John Conti ac tor recovered judgment against Jim Slip pery the case was not pried into ; hence the result is not known. As a Chinaman's oath is not worth three cents on the dollar it is strange that lie ever is so foolish aa to go to law. Pell in a raddle of Water. On Thursday of last week the little daugh ter of Ed.

It la a subject some are curious about, naturally enough for rattle snakes are generally considered a danger oua curiosity. For the benefit of those In terested we will say that about two weeks ago Mr Scott Ward and Jeff and Johnny Iaom Investigated a den of rattlers on Wards Butte, and in a few momenta killed nineteen of them, one of which was seven or eight feet long and had twelve rattles and a button. The remaining snake left their quarters and scattered out over the prairie, This proves that there are plenty of rattlesnakes to be found in the county if you only know the whereabouts of their camping ground ; but it may be remarked (or the benefit of the timid that they never approach the vicinity of metropolltlan places like Albany.

Miller, of near Lebanon returned laat Saturday from Grant county where he went some time ago to see hia son, Samuel, who was charged with murder. On hie arrival he found public sentiment largely w ef In favor of hia son, who was held under bonds, being charged with murder In killing a man by the name of Taylor, who was said to be a wild, quarrelsome cow boy. The Grand Jury failed to find a true bill and Samuel waa discharged. Mr. R. C. Miller has much improved in health during the trip. The many friends of Mr. Miller and family will be glad to learn that the killing of Taylor waa entirely in aelf -defense and that no blame attaches to Samuel. A teasaUeaal Iatraariie Hawkins, the "celebrated," is up In Washington Iemtory lecturing. A great many will be glad to know this, aa he ha not been heard of recent! r. Just as he was about to begin a lecture at Sprague a man named Ettleson stepped on the stage and caused a sensation by introducing Hawkins aa the most notorious hotel bilk on the Coast. Everybody knows about Hawkins cheek. It waa equal to the occasion and he went on with the lecture, during which he gave a receipt for making whiskey, when Ettleson asked for a receipt for paying hotel bills, which brought the house down, though of course it did not atop the speaker, as he was wound up for the occasion. A leae Call tot a Bis Bias. Last Sabbath afternoon, just as 8. S. children were getting to work on their les sons, and the second and third nines were getting under headway in their Sabbath desecration game of base ball, the fire bell rang, suddenly adjourning proceedings gen erally. A close call for the O'Toole block was found to be the explanation for the alarm. A fire was discovered in the roof over Mr OToole's room, it having caught from the chimney. Mr. Simon Seitenbach, of the Hook & Ladder Company, mounted the roof and extinguished the flames before any damage was done. iimt Mixed l. Last Friday Tom Mc Nary, who was work ing for Johnny Schmeer.got Into what might be called a squabble with George 8altmarsh. A hose, some water, a few rocks, etc., got mixed up in such a manner that George Humphrey J. P.,sald,after a formal hearing, that about $5 and costs would settle matters with the county. $30,the total amount, was too heavy for Tom's pocket book, and that Is the reason he languished in jail for a short period. Tarawa from m Haras. On Thursday of laat week Mr. B. R. Warmoth, of Halsey, was thrown from his horse while crossing the Calipooia bridge this side of Brownsville, and quite seriously though not dangerously hurt. The accident happened by his horse slipping and throw ing him against the bridge, knocking him senseless. Medical aid was summoned and good attention given him. Waa Is telen T Last week an Indian pony suddenly dis appeared from the premises of Mr. Jas. El- kins, near this city, but whether It strayed or was stolen is a query. There are clr- eumatancea pointing to the latter. No clue to it has been obtained, though Mr. Elkina has searched far and near. Five Days la Jail. Last Friday a man named Rupp was brought to this city from Harrisburg to serve out a sentence of five days In jail for carry ing concealed weapons. Rupp waa first ar rested for attempting to rob the Lane coun ty Treasurer's safe, but was discharged, there not being sufficient evidence against him.
