leged to have been sustained bv reason

W. B. Partlow, the well known pio

a fresh bottle of the preparation, also a
bottle of tincture of aconite, labelled

had occasion to take a dose of medi
cine, and by mistake swallowed a tea
spoonful and a halt of the aconite. Soon

COMMENTARIES.
Matters Concerning Local Every
day Affairs Noticed by the
Courier-Herald Reporter.
Cottaui, tiie shirt peddler, who wants
a whole lot of damage money for al
leged false imprisonment, attempted to
make a martyr of himself when arrested
here. After being taken to jiil, he was
told that he could be at liberty on his
recognizance, but preferred to lie in
jail to found the groundwork of a dam
age suit against the municipality.
One of the worst grafts in a small way,
passed by the late legislature, is the
barber's commission. The work of the
commission is actually of no benefit to
the public, and yet it is taxed to have
jti printing, etc., done at the state print
ing office. .
Rev. Bollinger's sermon last Sunday
evening on "Christian Neighborlines,"
was one of the best things ever given
before a church audience here. It
showed that true Christianity was going
into the byways and relieving the wants
of the distressed whether they are
within the pale of the church or not.
The meaning of the sermon was to do
good to all men without boring them to
become church members, and was ap
preciated by the body of Woodmen
present.
V
When it cornea to results juries m
justicecurn txra fiilurei. It yet re
mains to be sen whether or not a jury

It is a wonder now Oregon City suc
ceeded in securing such a talented at
traction as the Miss Jessie Shirley Com
pany. There may have been good com
panies at the opera house here before,
but the reporter never seen them .
Tue Molalla road is now an assured
fact, and the people along the line of
the road, as well as Oregon City are to
be congratulated on raifcing the guaran
tees for this road. The road now being
surveyed up the bluff from lower Main
street to intersect the New Era hill
road is another improvement that
t-hould be pushed to early compleiion.
And there should be a good to the Staf
ford and Wilsonville country.
