APKIL 21. 1SS. GLADSTONE. What tin You Think of It!

Chas. Logos was in the citv on Tues day settling up some executor's business, lie had just come from Albany where he had been attending to similar business and was agreeably surprii-ed thata notice for which he had to pay an Albany paper $17.50 only cost him $5 at the Enteui'hike office. The Philoniatbean society are busy rehearbing for their entertainment which they will give about the 2Sth of this month. They have arranged a pleasant program, the leading feature being two farces. The money taken in will be used to purchase a piano for the school. Last Thursday Dr. C.B. Smith.of Eagle Creek, was obliged to amputate one of John btone's toes as it was feared that if left on it would endanger the foot and possibly his life. Mr. Stone who lives upon the Sandy Ridge had previously severely cut his foot with an ax. The continued rains of the past month have kept the roads in an almost im passable condition. They are uniform ly bad everywhere. Dr. C. B. Smith who was in the city on Monday says he never aw them so bad and that he would will ingly nive five dollars to be saved the trip from Lenta to Eagle Creek, which consumed five and one-half hours com ing in besides tdiaking him all to pieces. Circuit Court Doing. Circuit court convened on Monday with Judge McNride on the bench. T. W. Fouls was duly installed as general court bailiff, James K. BingmaH as grand jury bailiff and The. Miller as jury builitl. The following named per sons were assigned to grand jury duty : C. U. Barlow, foreman; J. W, Grout, R. D. Price, K. Monk, 8. R. Taylor, G. A. Gurley and Geo. Dnnlavey. The docket is a very full one and it will doubtless be iucreaed by the action of the grand jury which has a number of rases to work upon, So far not much in the way of results has been accom plished but the court ami the attorneys are getting ready for the actual battles. The cases so lar disposed of are as fol lows: In the divorce Biiita of Carrie C. vs A. C. Bingham; Sadie vs Signon Kei lenstein and John W. vs Lucinda Heiss default was entered in each case. Charles J annoy was granted a divorce f i oin Hannah Janney, In the case of Mary E. Stevens vs Geo anil Catherine Miller a decree was ob tained by delimit on part of defendant. 1 he application of Lore n a Myers for a divorce from her husband, William, was dismissed as was also that of Lee Jones vs Kllie Jones.

The ca.-e of Oregon City vs Clara Huff appealed fiom the city recorder's court, 'ii;i disniirsed on motion of a appellant and lower court ordeied to enforce j'-idg-merit. KIJI'ITV. Case of James Ollieei vs John E. Offi cer. . II. aughn substituted as plaint;tf. The divorce case of Rosa vs Albert Huggins is set for Friday evening at 7 p. in. Prisoner Escaped Last Sunday evening just before 5 o'clock it was learned that George West erwaull had escaped from the county jail between that time and the same hour the day previous at which time the pris oners were locked in. It is not known how the escape was effected or who is to blame. It seems that at 7 o'clock Sunday morning A. W. Howard went in to feed the prisoners and as they were not yet up and he was going a fishing he unlocked the cells and left them open after setting the breakfast tor the prison ers on a table. Asking Pete Nehren to lock Henderson in his cell after lunch he left, and some time after Nehren went down and locked Henderson in his cell, but as the prisoners were scattered about in the jail and corridor he did not no tice whether Westerwaull was present or not. Shortly after 4 o'clock he wag down again for a few moments with a man who wished to speak to a prisoner, but observed nothing wrong. Before 5 o'clock he went to lock the prisoners in and discovered that one man was gone The other prisoners either would not or could not tell anything and no place could be found where he could have got out. The only trace left was his track from the yard back over the river bank. It is impossible to tell when or how he got out, and it is useless to speculate or accuse any one of carelessness till some thing more definite is known. Peter Nehren who wus in the court house nearly all day is certain that Wester waull did not escape through any fault of his, and as Pete has always been careful and trustworthy it would be hardly just to accuse hi in in this case. Westerwaull was in for stealing a few carpenters' tools so his escape in itself does not amount to much, but it might have been Henderson, the murderer. BUTT IS CltKLK FAIR. Arrangements Made fur a Successful Fair New Premium List. The directors of the Bulto Creek Fair Association have just completed their premium list for 18U3 which will be put in the hands of the printer in a few days.

Persons who are subject to attacks of hilious colic can almost invaribly tell, by their feelings, when to expect an at tack. If Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken as soon as these symptoms appear, they can ward off the disease.
