Perhups something of the editor
of the Into "Salem McrcnntHo Itc
vlow" may bo of Interest. The Cor
viillls Times says ho came to Corval
lis, having, been on iv protracted
upreo, and was broke. After Issu
ing his Review nt Ralem and
collecting $200 for the pull's he
gave the business men, ho returned
to Portland, whero he got as drunk
as a tiddler, nnd never sobered up
until he awoke one morning in Al
bany. There he borrowed $3.00
from a bar-tender, and came to Cor
vhIIIh with the hope of making an
other raise In a similar manner but
he failed. He then tried to swap
Ills plug hat or pawn his Prince Al
bert for enough to get to Independ
ence whero ho felt confident of suc
cors. He borrowed a dollar and start
ed for other fields and pastures new.
For the rest of his sad experience
down tho valley, you can ask It. C.
Presley, himself. It is not neces
sary to add that Corvallis or Albany
did not nibble at his bait. Such
fakes for such they are should bo
left severely alone. One dollarspent

Health Ik llouil.
The doctors of Salem tell us the
health of tho city and surrounding
country Is generally pretty good nt
tho present time. Tho smallpox
patients are doing nicely and will
all recover without being oadly
pitted. Those afillcted with diph
theria across the bridge in Polk
county are well and this disease has
entirely disappeared. The fever
patients In North Salem are con
valescent and their immediate re
covery is assured. There Is some
typhoid fever at Sllvertou and also
two cases at tho prison hospital but
it is thought all will recover. In
the country there is very little sick
ness. Tho smallpox scare having
entirely abated, people now realize
that this disease is usually more
Kcvereiipon the nerves of those who
don't contract It than on the consti
tutions of those who do.
lu Tbln Wheal lluy And lluy.
At Albany yesterday u Dakota
man exhibited some wheat of his
native state, and told tho Democrat
"That when wo could raise wheat
like that, with our lino ellinato we
might amount to something here."
Koine Oregon wheat was produced
und tho Dakota wheat became very
insignificant. Ik-sides being small,
shriveled up, tired looking wheat, it
is worth tlireo to live cents a bushel
less than our wheat. A hundred
kernels of each were neighed. Tho
Oregon wheat weighed just 75 grains
and thoDakola wheat 87 grains.

A NEW POSTMASTER PERHAPS.
Rumors or the Appointment of Rich
ard II. Dearborn.
Salem Is full of rumors of the
appointments of Richard H Dear
born as postmaster of the capital
city. ,
The matter has been thoroughly
canvassed and this much Is learned:
Mr. Dearborn Monday received a
message from Charles Stewart of
Washington telling him that tho
appointment had been given to
him (Dearborn.) Receiving no con
firmation the truth of the report
was doubted.
John Gray then telegraphed to
Henry H. Gilfrey, formerly of Sa
lem, but at present reading clerk of
the senate at Washington and this
t.Kipiilnir received a message stating
that Mr.Dearborn'snppolntment had
been nunueu to me senuio jtrsiuiuuj
ituMiiiliifT Tuesday. This no doubt
settles it. and Richard Dearborn will
be our next postmaster. Mr. Dear
born at present is in Portland, und
Gen'l Odell has no information other
than the street rumor.

Rill Wnt kinds says there la
excitement over tho Santlairi" coal
discoveries. On tho property in
which ho is Interested five shafts,
which are three Inches In diameter,
have been sunk. At one point a
depth of 140 feot was attained. In
the bottom of this seam of lino lig
nite coal, sixteen feet wide, was
found. In the middle shaft, half
way up the mountain, six and a
half feet of coal was found. In tho
mlddlo shaft a beam six and a half
feet was found. As depth is attained
tho coal is drier and of better
quality than that found nearer tho
surface.
The Intention Is to have a lino
built from tho narrow gauge road,
which Is but six and a halt miles
from the mine. There is nobridge
Ing to bo done and tho country Is
level. If tho company owning the
narrow gauge does not build this
extension so as to secure tho trade,
it Is Mild the gentlemen owning the
coal mine will do the work.

Sabbath Obserrnncc.
Tmnortant points brought out In
addresses by prominent men at the
Illinois Sabbath Association in um
cago last week. Here are a few of
them: Sabbath-kcep'ng can be
made to pay, materially as well as
spiritually; William E. Dodge
would never own a dollar of stock in
a Sunday-breaking road ; the road
which ho controlled was a paying
institution, and he died worth seven
million dollars. Toionlo, Canada,
and London, England, absolutely
stop all work connected with mails
for twenty-four hours every Sunday,
and no stagnation of business results.
The time has come when Christ
ians must put their foot on Sabbath
desecration, or it will hurry our na
tion to destruction. Correct practice
on the part of tho Church must
come before we can Incorporate cor
rect principles in government. Sab
bath observance must havo the
granite foundation of Sinai, to resist
the pressure of Sabbath desecration.
Tho Sabbath is tho poor man's
college. Twenty-one years of quiet
Sabbaths spent as UoU means mem
to be spent, will give as much time
and education as a four years' col
lege course. The bitter cry of the
Sabbathless toilers goes up, like the
"Cry of London," or Mrs. .brown
ing's "Cry of the Children." Tho
North American Review estimates
that fifty-seven per cent of employes
in factories, and more than seventy
five per cent of. thoso engaged In
transportation, are obliged to work
seven davs in the week. It is no
longer the few who suffer from this
cause : at the very lowest estimate
they are a million and a half, one
out of every eight workers in our
nation.
rar's.
tf.
Geo. M. Ward of Boston, Gen
eral Secretary of tho Union Y. P. S.
C. E. , will give one of his Interest
ing talks at tho First Presbyterian
church to-morrow evening at seven
o'clock. No admittance will be
charged and all are invited, espec
ially the yotiug folks.
Catch the shadow ere the sub
stance fades, is good advice, and
especially is tho truth of this demon
strated when you speak of the
frequency with which one dear
friend or another is hurried nway.
You'll regret too late that you did not
havo your friend or relative visit
Sporry tlio Artist nnd have a per
fect likeness taken. Heed the
moral go now before It Is forever
too late. f
Watch tho footprints on the side
walk. Where do thoy go? Up and
down Commercial street until they
come to tho new bank block.
Then they go up stairs. They go to
Cherrlngton's Tho artist. If you
are looking for something nice for
the holidays, go and see him. His
work Is the finest. Tiino is fleeting
snd Christmas Is near. Be sure
and give him timo to finish your
work up nlroly. tf.
