Ann It Tbmi Thus. Justice
Clark'a court Wednesday, in this city,
waa tha scene ol quite a sensational
atiit, wherein one Gen. W. Kelley was
plaintiff and tils wile defendant, charg
ed with adultery. Considerable prep,
aration had been made lor the trial,
and witnesses, the full number by law
allowed, were on hand. It didn't take
long, "however, to try the affair, ae it
appeared that there was but one pros
ecuting witness. Kulley himself, so the
examination ol the prosecuting wit
neasea took but a few minutes, and af
ter a brief aession the wife was dis
charged with a statement from her
attorney that the witneaaee were on
hand to prove a clear case for the
woman and a very "bad case" for tbe
plaintiff. The cost were taxed to the
4ainliff. - -- .
Time to Won the Roads. "This
is a good liana to work the roads where
holes are to be tilled up and griding
done, but the farmers must be allowed
(o look after their farming interests
while the ground is in order. Hera is
tbe U-ouble witb our present system of
road working. If road taxee were paid
in cash tbe supervisor could have a
force of men on tbe roads at work, at
a time when somethiug of profit to the
roads could be aooompllshed." Thus
aaith tha Neberg Graphic, and it is em
inently correct. By tbe lime farmers
get their spring work dona tbe ground
is so dry that where it is worked it
fails to pack, and hence the mod the
next winter. The general verdict
among men who have observed, is thai
road work should be done early in the
spring, in order to pack well.
Placed ik Position. Soma time
ainoe The Mist mentioned the fact
that the county bad purchased two
sections oi steel paper files to be set in
the large vault used fur keeping papers
la. Tivese useful cases have beeu
placed In position, and the work of go
ing over and sorting out all papers
such as probate and circuit court doc
uments hus been completed, and the
files are in aotual use by tha clerks.
This addition of convenience and safe
ty in the clerk's office was a precau
tion which should have been taken
long ago, for it insures not only the
correct keeping of papera on file, but ia
an absolute defense against fire. The
genial clerks will willingly explain the
modus operandi of the contrivance if
yon will call on them.
ArrecTS all Alike. The farmers
of low lands are not the only ones in
oonvenienced by the raising waters of
the Columbia. Tha fishermen iu Ibis
locality are a badly demoralised lot of
fellows. When the season first opened
fishing prospects were ood, but they
continued so only a brief period, fm
the hlh water oume, and now it is al
most impossible to oiitch a fish. Nets
are on the racks, and their owners are
anxiously watching the water as it
creeps Inch by inch to a mightier vol
,urce. At this data, in 1894. there was
but a ten foot raise in the river, but
now the gnage registers nearly twenty
feet. Farmers are preparing to vacate
the low land farms, and some lew have
already, and should the water continue
to come It la only a matter of a lew
days when tbe low lauds will be entire
ly inundated.

Should be F logged. E. M. Rows,
who was arrested in Astoria, Monday,
charged with ebauohing several little
girls, was arraigned in justice court,
Tuesday, and the examination post,
poned till Wednesday. If what two of
the little girls say is true, Rowe will
get the full extent ol the law. The
youngest Pohl child, 8 years of age and
a little girl named Owens, about the
same age, have said that Rowe forci
bly took them to his room at a hotel,
and prevented them from screaming,
by gaging them. After assaulting
them, he threatned them with death
if they should mention the affair. Two
of the children are diseased. Rowe
formerly lived in the state of Washing
ton, where he practiced medioine. He
is known here aa "Doo." He has a
divorced wife and a son, the latter 14
years of age, living in Seattle.
And So It Goes. Because of a citi
sen being a road supervisor does not
mean that everything shall sail clear
with him, or that he shall have no per
plexities. This faot can be attested
to, perhaps, by Mr. William Wood, of
Vernonia, who is supervisor of distriot
No. 13. One day last week, while act
ing under instructions from tbe County
commissioner, so the story goes, in ex
eouling some duty in resrard to a piece
of road in his district, a little difficulty
arose whioh resulted for tha time be
ing, quite unpleasantly for him. He
was arrested, charged witb assault upon
one Dow, and sentenoed to thirty days
in the county jail, brought to St.
Helena, Saturday night, aud delivered
over t the sheriff- But on Monday
morning the affair took on a different
ooloring, and resulted in Mr. Wood
being informed that be waa not so lia
ble to go to jail as he thought, aud the
next thing he heard waa that he oould
go borne jual aa soon as hs saw fit. It
turned out that the justics had over
reached his authority, and tbe whole
matter appeared to be more or less ir
regular. Mr. Wood ia probably at his
home by this time, carrying out the
instructions of tbe commissioner.
