N c nro NMM to announce that Mr. J. L. Nvc.of Brush Creek Precinct, is a run uutatc for Assessor subject to the action of the next Democratic County Convention. A MAN ABOUT TOWN. The Man About Town I reliably inform ed by a prominent citixen that the Common Council are making secret arrangements to put a feather pillow under the south end of the t hxU street sewer, so mat It will run the water out. The only nutter with the thing now it that Its source Is hi glier than its mouth. 0 Kmil-loox scares most people at fust mention of the name, but a little Albany bov now in short dresses is anxious to have it strike him. as he has learned that old Hot he have to be burned, and he thinks in this way he can get a pair of genuine pants and be a big boy. O t hsra.-ter is better than cold or Front Street lots. The M. A. T. la told of a few Albany young people, of both sexes, who hare sacrnced theirs for leas than even an old fashioned copper cent. A sensational paper could keep its hands full here for a few weeks with muddy matter. We have heretofore remarked that parents cannot watch their girls and boys too too close- O The Orcgonian last Monday mentioned the fact of the retirement of Dr. Shaw froin the pulpit at Rochester, N. Y., after preach ing 40 year, nearly all of the time in the First Presbyterian "Church there. The M. A. T. has listened to the white haired old gentleman many times, and can vouch for the fact that his sermons were remarkably popular after over forty years preaching in the same place, perhaps "due to the fact that he burned his sermons as soon as delivered, a hint for Oregon preachers. Mr. Taoatas Nasi. From the New York 7Yw,March XV873. The artist, like the singer, has the oppor tunity of gaining almost instant recognition of his genius, when that genius is of a high and rare order. People arc brought face to face with him, and soon form an admiring audience round him if he is worthy of their attention. In this way Mr. Naat has achiev ed a reputation which many men twice his age might well envy, and which will proba bly outlast the reputations of most men who profess to form and direct public opinion. His drawings are stuck upon the walls of the poorest dwellings,and stored away in the portfolios of the wealthiest connoisseurs. A man who can appeal powerfully to millions of people, with a few strokes of the pencil. must be admitted to be a great power In the land. No writer can possibly possess a tenth part of the influence which Mr. Nast exercises. He addresses the learned and the unlearned alike. Many people cannot read "Icadinir article, other do not choose to read them, others do not understand them when they hare read them. When he caricatures a politician, the name of that politician ever afterwards recalls the countenance of which Naat made hint a present An artist of this stamp and such artists are rery rare indeed does more to affect public opinion than a score of writers. A Fiendish Murder. A horrible murder occurred at InJepen dence last Sabbath morning. Miss Simmie Anatle, a promising young lady, was the step-daughter of Wm. Land ret h, with whom she lived. Last Saturday night they had a quarrel abvut some family matter. Land re th being of a very brutish nature, harbored the matter in his heart until babbath morning, taking a knife.he went to his step-daughter s room and butchered her in a fiendish man ner, stabbing her in the temple and several times in the body. She died probablv im mediately. After the murder Landreth tried to commit suicide by drowninz in a slough near by ; but his son pulled him out. He was captured and placed in the city jail, and has since been playing the in sanity dodge. We have always opposed lynching, but , well It is aggravating to say the least to see the delays of law month after month in such a case. Forcible Eotry and Detainer. The case of T. E. Hogg against Thomas Monteith was called in Justice Dorris' Court last Saturday, when on motion of the plain tiff part of the answer of the defendant was stricken out and the case adjourned until one o'clock on Monday. Then on motion of the plaintiff the case was dismissed. The suit was one for forcible entry and detainer, it being charged that Mr. Monteith had taken possession of the mill property at the foot of Ferry Street and refused to give it up to the plaintiff, to whom it was deeded last year by Mr. Monteith's assignee. Mr. Monteith claims that the transaction was Illegal. It will take a suit in the higher Courts to settle the matter. That Eellpse. Last Saturday evening just after the sun had descended below the horizon, the moon began rising in the east, when the earth was exactly between the two, causing an eclipse of the moon to us and of the earth to the man in the nwon. Just how the thing look ed at Albany has not been definitely ascer tained, as an awful density of clouds hung like a pall over the earth and neither the rays of the moon nor sun could penetrate a Webiot rain cloud, so that the scene was only an every day one. Prof. Condit had made arrangements to take in the show with his class at the College,having placed his fine telescope In position, but received the same treatment offered all ef us. The Concert. I he R. B (Jeorge Concert Co., assisted by theli class gave a highly enjoyable con cert on Wednesday evening at the Opera House to a fair audience. The Company i composea 01 musicians anu splendid teach ers. A marked feature of the entertain ment was a doll brigade by about fifty little gtris, j. he Company is making arrange ments to organize another class if one hun dred pupils can be obtained at a $1 apiece. these classes will prove a great benefit to our cit izens. Flush Again. Five tourists, all wearing chinchilla coats, were tn the city t riday and Saturday. Two of them spent Friday night in Albany's pal atial catiboose. Saturday forenoon one of the three claimed that he found a large greenback on the depot steps, some said a $100 bill, other a $500 bill. Be as it mav they had money.for they bailed their f rienda out, all got shaved, and some square meals and beds with sheets the coming night. IIa any one lost a one hundred dollar bill. A tielf-Winding ( lock. Mr. H. Ew;rt has just put up. ia j POSTAL NOTE Scio. Frank Mack was arrested at Sclo last week, charged with breaking Into the house of Mr. Bridges, and, on examination, neiu to await the action ot the grand jury under $500 bonds. On last Tuesday Mr A I Johnson and Mis I .Initio Young, two of Sclo s popular voung people, were united in marrfago at the residence of the bride's parents. The happy couple arc receiving the congratula tions of many in different parts of the coun 7. At a meeting of Dlcrdorf Lodge, I. O. O.

Miss Clara Ansorge was In Lebanon last week, previous to leaving for Washington Territory where she will teach school. Miss Ansorge Is a graduate of one ot the hest normal schools in the U.

But the past few days of sunshine has started the grass, and a week or ten davs continuance of the present warn weather will do much to recruit them. Health of the people good. -Those that had the measles are convalescent. BaAvsa, Crook Co., Jan. 17. -We have a stern, cold winter indeed. Snow ta to 14 Inches deep. Mercury has varied 5 to 38 degrees below zero, which Is the average. To a Webfoot it Is intensely cold and requires im mense enterprise to et up before sun rises to build fires. Stock to hay doing well. No losses vet outside, but a few days more of such cold, and no friendly chlnook to take off snow, and stock not fat will succumb. As I write the weather is moderating. JAS. ELKtMS. Cor v allis. In the great Agricultural College case a tried before Judge Bean, at Corvallls recently, a decision was handed in by that gentleman last week, in favor of the trustees and against the M E Church South. Corvallis people generally rejoice over the decision, which was confidently expected as given. Brownsville. A little daughter of Mr. las. Simons died here recently, and also the little son of Mr. Geo. Dyson. Mr. Riggs, the butch'cr.and Mr. Perceval, recently from Tcxas,have formed a partner ship. The Royal saloon has been reopened here, a license having been granted its pro prietor by the new Council. Wad -El -Ward." Considerable has oeen said by the press of Oregon about what a big fraud that gentle man was. Rev. Rominger, of this city, de siring to know the truth of the matter wrote to his friend, Sclah Merrill, of Andover, Mass., who was Consul at Jerusalem under Garfield, and whom this Wad-El-Ward claimed to know while in Albany. On Tuesday Rev. Rominger received the fol lowing letter from ex-Consul Merrill. It makes very interesting matter, particularly to those who attended the lectures of the eminent fraud : A v hover, Mass-Tan. aist, 18SS. Dear Mr. Rominger. .Ye were glad to hear from vou but regret that you are obliged o treat of such an un pleasant subject "Wad-El-Ward" la more of a humbug than you think, beyond first class, beyond perfect, way up to piufrfxt, I should put him. His name is 1 acob Ko- senthal.changcd to James Rosedalc,changed it seems to " Wad-El- Ward," or Vattoy ot the mm. He was at no time in Jerusalem while I was Consul but long before that. He has a sister living there now. His father died while I was there as Consul, and was buried by charity, as he had for a long time before his death been supported by charity. Sot a Rabbi. No ! No ! His proper wife is living in Jaffa. He pre tends that he got a divorce from hcr.hu t she knows nothing about it and I doubt if It is true. He came to America some years ago with some Arabs and gave entertain ments about, at last got these poor fellows into trouble and the people of Boston helped raise funds to get them home. I saw a circular of his in which he claims to have graduated at Oxford, Leipxic,and to have received the degree of "L.L. D, from Harvard University. I sent a letter to the Secretary of Harvard and he rep'ied that they never heard of such a person and tliat his claim was bogus. 1 think there is no other man on earth that can lie as he can. Vou cannot place toe slightest dependence on what he says unless you have other testimony to corrobo rate it. As to his wife, when he came over with those Arabs he picked up a woman on the way and took her around with him and llred with her as his wife.when all the while his true wife wa.s in Jaffa. I am glad the papers have cot after htm, tor he is a fraud. Jl course he never saw Mecca. Iots of his other stories have no foundation whatever. Siucerely yours, Ski. n Merrill. Dedicated. The new W. C. T. U. Hall was formally dedicated on last Tuesday evening in the presence of a crowded house. The pro gram as carried out was an interesting one- In the absence of the President Mrs. L. E. Blain presided. Mrs. Rev. Rounds con ducted a scripture readintr, short addresses were delivered by Revs. Davis and Condit, and the address of the evening by Rev. S. Wilson, ot fcugene, a very outspoken ef fort. Rev. RomiWer delivered the open- ng prayer and Rev. Irvine the dedicatory raycr, A song by quartet, Prof. Lee, Mr. and Mrs b lhompson and Miss Lillie Rob ertson, a solo by Mr. Adair and a chorus by a class of chilren added to the enjoyment of the exercises. 1 he program was closed by benediction by Rev. T.J. Wilson,of Halsey. The report of ths Building Committee showed that ths ball had cost ths W. C. T. U. $1407.50, ef which $678.95 had been paid leaving $728.55 due. e A Curious Mistake. A Missouri man painted a black circle on the end of a log, and about an hour after wards found 300 dead rabbits around it, they having mistaken it for a hole in the log and bunted themselves to death. Peo ple who buy their groceries and produce of Conn Bros, next east of the Revere House, make no such mistake. They get splendid goods at bottom prices and do not bunt themselves to death when they get home. NewgoxlsatF M Ftencb's. lit Nation.

Every city and village In Oregon has been having a siege of the measles. Julius A Stratton, a prominent lawyer of Salem, has moved to Seattle to locate. A little girl named Brown was drowned In six Inches of water at Lodl,Callast Tues day. A tnethodlst Church has been organised at Newport with thirty nine mem bera.

She was born in this county, but moved to Crook County when a little cm. She was married In itSSo, and leaves a husband and three children. If the tail could wag the dog It would be a good thing for Oregon politics. The Sa lem Statesman In a well written article heretofore referred to, admitted that the war was over and the bloody shirt sliould be burned. It is to be hoped the Orrfonian will wag on the subject, as all sensible papers are doing. At a meeting ot the Pastor's Union at Salem !at week it was ordered that the Sunday Statesman be requested to publish church notices on Saturday Instead of Sun day, and thereupon the Statesman gets mad and calls the act "pastoral demagoguery." Three men at Knoxritle, Tenn., attacked Mr Rule, city editor of the Journal last Sun day just as he was going Into church, on ac count of an article in reference to the father of two of them who had just been elected city physician, he not being a regular grad uate, unc ot mem was killed. Mr. Hitchcock and wlfe,prominent people, were murdered last week by a man named Anschlag, at Santa Ana, Cal. The latter had just bought a farm from the former.and did the deed in order to get rid of paying for it The evidence, though,! circumstantial. The following will show how strong some of it is, and how indiscreet murderers are : "While a party of citlxens were discussing the points of the crime.lt was remarked that Anschlag had been seen coming to Santa Ana early Tuesday forenoon with a mud- besmeared wagon.and Dankley.onc of those present, said he believed he had seen a wagon similar to It driving across the prairie to a clump of bushes. On proceeding to the spot a pair of new blue overalls and jumper, thoroughly besmeared with blood and mud. were found bound up and carefu.ir hidden under a dump of bushes. With them were scraps ot letters, one ot them in uerman and another a portion of a letter written by tie. -cased. Mrs. Hitchcock, evidently to her sister in Illinois. The overalls and jumper were at once taken to Garden Grove, and were there identified br W, A. Blizard.cierk for Wickham Sc Parker, as a pair he sold Anschlag on Monday. The latter returned on Tuesday and said that the pair were too short, and he wished another suit, although he didn t offer to return the lirst pair.

Bute Temperance Alliance Call. The regular annual session of the Oregon State Temperance Alliance will be held in The Dalies, Oregon, February icth and 1 6th, 18S0, commencing at 10 o'clock a. m. on the 15th. Every church, Sunday School, and temperance society is entitled to one delegate, and every organized County Alii ance to twice as many delegates as there arc members in the legislature assembly from said county. The people of The Dalles expect to furn ish entertainment for delegates, and the usual reduction of fare will be secured on the O & C and O R & N lines of railroad. As The Dalles is conveniently located for both the eastern and western parts of the State, it is hoped that both sections as well Southern Oregon will be well represented. We must preserve and make effective the immense prohibition sentiment developed ay a our late campaign. A large and en thusiastic meeting of the Alliance is neces sary to accomplish this purpose. Let us have it. G. M. Miller, President J. E. Knox, Secretary. Measly. A prosperous farmer living near this city informed a reporter of the Democrat that thirteen of his family were all down at once with the measles. When asked how the remainder of the family escaped he said they had had the measles some years ago. The reporter departed making incoherent remarks about "multiplying and replenish ing the earth."
