OVER THE CAPITAL CITY.
Complete Recital of the Day's Deeds
and Doings.
Senator Dolph Here Ihto a Trestle
A Pardon Criminal
River Insane.
He Drove Into a Trestle.
Last night John McQee, one of
Polk county's old farmers, a littlo
the worse for tangle-foot, started to
drive homo with his team. The
big bridge was hlsobjectlvepointjbut
lucklessly he lost his bearings and
instead of following the road, drove
his team upon the railroad track.
He followed along the high grade
until his progress was impeded by
the animals stepping into a trestle.
He left them there and came Upon
the street, when he was taken ih
tow by an officer, while a body of
men went to the relief of the horses,
which, after some time were ex
tricated from their unhappy fasten
ings.
Almost a Conflagration.
Last night some one carelessly
placed a quantity of cloth goods in
the gallery near the stove pipe in
the Armory building, and this
morning when a firo was started in
the stove the heat was sufticient to
ignito them. They smouldered for
perhaps a long time, and about ten
o'clock burst forth in a great flame,
which leaped to the celling anxious
to lick the tinder. A few buckets
of water promptly applied averted
great damage. There was no loss,
save a small hole burned through
the roof.
Both Berries And Blossoms.
We have before Us a cluster of
raspberries, taken from the garden
of H. VV. Savage, near this city, on
which are ripe berries, blossoms and
berries in the different stages. The
llavor of the fruit is as delicate and
sweet as any berries we have ever
tasted. Just think of it to have
raspberries on the last day of Octo
ber. This is not all, Mr. Savage
still has green beans and peas in Ills
garden, besides many other summer
vegetables. Truly Oregon is a great
country.
Senator llolph To-night.
Hon. John N. Dolph will to-night
deliver one of his riuging addresses
at the opera house. Since the
benator's return from Washington
he has been speaking in Southern
OreKon and is animated and eu-
eouraged over the great prospects
for success of the republioan party
next Tuesday when will bo waged
the fierce battle of ballots. It is ex
pected the opera house will be
crowded to overflowing to hear the
greatest speech of the campaign.
The Harvest Home Festival.
A pleasant occasion was the har
vest greeting at the Cbngregatioual
church last night. The building
was comfortably filled with an
audience which greatly enjoyed the
choice numbers of a splendid literary
and musical program that had
been prepared for the event. A
repast was discussed in the parlors
of the church immediately following
the exercises.
It Will Stir Them Up.
Our Salem exchanges are full of
items about the proposed Astoria
and Valley railroad, and it is a sub
ject that demands attention. Rail
road building In Oregon in the next
few years is going to be of a character
to stir up localities. Albany witli
the splendid start it has secured is
not going to be slow in increasing
its advantages. Albany Democrat.
State of the Itiver.
Tho Occident on her return trip
arrived in this city yesterday after
noon and proceeded to take on 125
tons of wheat and bran. She made
the trip to Albany all right and re
ports plenty of water as far up as the
mouth of the Santiam. At Salem
there is four feet of Water. She left
early this morning for Tortland.
Yonng Osburn Here in Jill
Marshal Ross this morning
brought tho mistaken Osborn boy
from Junction City and placed

Well, Francis, your frankness par
alyzes us, so to speak, and our brain
throbs to tho excited beating of our
sympathetic heart. We are yours
for the time being at least. Our
pulse beats iu harmonious response
to your burning passion. Our eyes
are turned toward tho favored,
though weaker, vessel and tho sizo
of her pile. As yet, we are grieved
to narrate, the damsel is unseen, but
surely she will hasten to tear from
her beautiful face tho veil which
has so long hidden her from this
world of woo and fortune seekers
when you arrive upon tho scene.
Haste tho day when the princo may
como riding by and gather to him
self and sho to herself. Let each
flock together in glorious pcaco and
"rejoined love" as you tersely call
it. Oh, what a useless implement n
starved heart is, Francis. Wo feel
for you, and were it not for tho many
miles of cage brush and cactus that
Ho between us wo would feel for you
with a stuffed club. Pardon the di
gression. But don't let anything
deter you from placing your placid
form In tills propitious vale. There
is room for you. Please consult the
superintendent of your ward and
gain a leave of absence. Como to

will take pleasure in showing you
