The first day was .09 of an inch, and the sec ond .47. The reports are that a large amount of new mown hay is onthe grouud waiting for the clouds to roll by, S)ma say that the percen tage of hay cut and ia the shock or winrow is not less than half, The Alsea picnic had to bo Indef inately postponed on account of the rains. It was to have been given by the Woodmen aad schools of the Val ley, and great preparation had been made. Everybody was fell of expec tation, for the Alsea picnics are al ways extremely pleasant, but on. the vary morciog of the piciiie the heavy raias fell, and the function was Nabao-doued. WITH PTOMAIN POISON Half a Dozen People Made Sick They Ate Crab From Yaquina. A number of people were poison ed from eating: crab at Philomath last week. The crab was served at Mrs Felger's, and all save one who partook of the delicacy be came" ill. The symptoms were violent cramps sometime after eat ing, followed by wretehing and purging. All have fully recovered except Mrs Felger, who still has occasional cramps and remains very weak from the effects of the pois oning. -'.'-" The crabs came from Yaquina Bay, and were eaten on the evening of the day that they were brought out. They were four in number and one of them which had been bruised in the process showed dark ened meat about the wound. The theory of Dr Newth of Philomath, is that the injured crab was not put on ice soon enough after wounding, and that ptomain poison was de veloped. The crabs were cooked before they were brought from the Bay, and were kept on ice. The meat was taken from the shells and serv ed at the table, each person season ing to suit. Those who were made ill by eating were, Mrs Felger, her son Oliver, Mr Samson, . Caspar Harrison,' and Samuel Ewing of the Benton County Lumber Company. Milton Penfield ate of the crab, but was noCmade sick. It is supposed .that he failed to eat any of the meat from the sheared crab. IT WANTS THIS ITS LAST SESSION Judge Woodward's Court The New Oaieers Assume Their Duties Monday. Thursday afternoon the- present county court held its concluding session. It adjourned until Mon day, when a session of the new court will be held. On that day all the new officers of the count', will take the oath of ofiice, and pass in -their official bonds for "ap proval. Of the latter most of the A Compromise of its Taxes The Coast Land & Livestock Company. As a legacy to the new' county court, the old one leaves the Coast Land & Livestock Company's petition for a large rebate of taxes The company claims that a large amount of its taxes for the past six years is illegally assessed, and that collection cannot be enforced by law. The aggregate amount o? taxes for the time is somewhere be tween $2,500 and $3.000, The com pany offersto pay the county$450 in addition to payments already madeas a compromise, the said pay ment to be in full for all tax claims for the past six years. . The matter was first brought to the attention of the county qourt at the last April term, when At torney J K Weatherford appeared and presented the case for the com pany. A statement of the facts was printed at the time in the Times. At the May term, a petition pre senting the company's side of the case and asking that the comprom ise be accepted was presented by M M Davis. The matter was re ferred to the deputy district attorn ey for an opinion as to whether or not the county's claims against the company could be collected by law. Deputy Attorney Bryson has re turned no opinion. In order to give one, it is necessary to go over the records for six years past and prepare a transcript of the assess ments, descriptions of property and other facts connected therewith, involving labor that the deputy at torney allows not to-be a function of his office. And so the matter stands, having been in a state of in ocuous desuetude since the' May term of court. And so, too, the perplexing case drops into the lap of the new court to settle.

He had but two votes more than Mr Kelly, his opponent. The talk now is, that there will be a contest for tbe seat. Albany newspapers , have printed the statement that. Senator Kelly expects to make a struggle for the place. Friends of Mr Kelly in this city, however are not dis posed to believe the statement. They say he is a fair man, he. is hkeiy to aca th a i cultural Hall. The roof of the 1 is to be of imitation Spanish tile. The outer covering will be cf heavy tin, so pressed as to resemble tile. The imitation tile gives the roof a great advantage over a plain tin j roof in durabilitv. Plain tin con- j tracts and expands with changes in ..temperature, and ultimately cracks and breaks, making leaks.
