About 100 members were in at tendance. There was a general meeting of the ex ecutive committee, and members of the other committees of the reception to the volunteers, at the armory Saturday night. The matter of the volunteers voting to be mustered out in San Fran cisco, was generally discussed, and strong arguments were made in favor of returning the money to the subscribers of the reception fund, but it was voted to postpone the matter. A reception will likely be tendered those, who re turn.

It U interesting, frank and confidential. It will make a good impression on every reader and will help to secure a hearing I for later ads. Tins advertiser's wont is characterised by simplicity and straightforwardness, There is no strain- ing after effect, no attempt at brilliancy just quiet, instructive, pursuasive i talk such as might be used in chatting with a customer." SKIPPED OUT. McLougMin, the Electric Line Promoter Leaves His Cred itors Behind N. O. McLaughlin, the active pro motor of the Oregon City, Molalla and Southeastern Electric Railway, has gone and his whereabouts are unknown. He left three or four days ago, but his ab sence was not particularly noted, until his wife had the household furniture and belongings packed and started to Portland Wednesday afternoon. G. H. Yonng, who had a claim against the furniture, seized the chattels by attach ment proceedings. Mrs. McLoughlin explained matters by stating that her husband had skipped out and also had deserted her. McLoughlin's creditors are numerons, and the majority of them realize that they are deep in the hole, victims of misplaced confidence. He came here five or six years ago, and worked more less in the paper mills and for the Portland General Electric Com pany. Always paid his obligations and was prominent in fraternal circles. Last winter he held a position at the state in sane asylum, but early.in the spring re turned here, and launched the scheme to build an electric railway in the direc tion of the Molalla country. He was re ticent as to his plans, but let out the in formation that relatives in the East were to furnish him funds to puBh the pro posed enterprise. The fact, that he talked but little about the proposed rail way line, helped his credit. He claimed that he would have a remittance of ex pense money soon, but his employes were never made aware that he received any. Everything was done on credit office rent, furniture, supplies, etc., were charged up to the Oregon City, Molalla and Southeastern Electric Rail way, and it still remains on the debit side of numerous ledgers. Not an em ploye was paid as much as a 50 cent piece; farmers, who boarded the survey ors are also left. The Company's liabil ties are possibly $2,000. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Young men of the city and strangers in our midst are made welcome at our new home, corner of Eleventh and Main streets, every day in the week from 9 in the morning till 10 at night. Our reading room is supplied with our city papers, also the leading daily papers of the state. There is also on file a good eelection of religious and secular week lies and monthlies. The Ladies' Auxiliary is planning to furnish the parlor, that we may have a pleasant room in which to spend our spare time. Changes and additions are being made in the gymnasium, preparatory to a big fall and winter work . The gymnasium classes will be started the first of September. They will con sist of a business men's class on Monday and Thursday afternoons, young men's class on Tuesday and Friday evenings, junior class on Tuesday afternoon and Saturday morning. A ladies' class will also be conducted. Recreative games are introduced in the regular work of the gymnasium, and prove helpful to tired business men, lawyers, and, in fact, to members of all ages, occupations and tastes. On taking up class work, members are given a free physical examination, with authropametric chart. It is pleasing to know so many young men have joined the association during the past few weeks, for, as a rule, men who join the association during the quiet season of the year are men who appreciate its advantages and are willing to enter into the true spirit of the orgtv nization. The membership privileges of the Oregon City Young Men's Christian AS' sociation are open to any self-respecting man of 16 years of age or over, without regard to religious belief, denomination or creed. An initiation fee of $1 is charged and an annual fee of $5.

Our men's gospel meetings are held every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the association building. The music will be made a special feature. All men are cordially invited to attend these meet ings. Alyer Crowded Out. Washington, July 20. Alger has been crowded out at last. The system atic manner of ignoring him as a cabinet officer and secretary of war resulted in his finally handing to the president the resignation for which the people have been so anxiously longing. The univer sal demand of the members of the cab inet that Alger get out has had its influ ence, ar.d the cold shoulder he has re ceived in the cabinet, together with the fact that Corbin has taken everything out of his hanlH in the war department, made the poritit n untenable.
