A geneial invitation Is extended. BRICK Sewer. An ordinance has pasSed the City Council, providing for the build ng of a brick sewer up Broart albtn street. The sewer is to be circu lar in form, three feet in diameter, and the top at least two feet Mow the sur face ot the ground. As soon as the necessary survey and leveling is had, bids for contracts will be asked for, and a portion of the sewer at least will be completed this season. Heavy Wheat. One day last week Mr. John R. McClure brought Into our office several heads ol Sonora Wlieat which were ahead of anything so far exhibited tor our inspection, in the line of wheat, this season, the grain beiug full and plump, and very heavy. We took the trouble to count tlie grains in one head, and found there were eighty-eight perfectly developed grains. An acre of such wheat would easily yield one hundred bushels. Trouble. On Thursday, it Mr. Blakely, of Brownsville, was brought to this city and placed upon trial be fore flis Honor, Judge Tandy, charged with an assault upon Mr. G. W. How ell, also ot Brownsville, with a danger ous weapon revolver. Blakely was bound over in the sum of $1,000, to answer at the next term of the Linn County Circuit Court. Be Cautious. One day last week a gentleman passing along the alley be tween Water and First streets, discov ered that particles of hay, paper, and other rubbish, just in the rear of tlie postoffiee, was on fire, and the blaze was approaching and was then in close proximity to some hay stored by Mr. Saflord in the rear of his wagon shop. The discovery was timely, doubtless saving much valuable property. Per sons cannot be too careful where they throw their cigar stumps, etc, during the dry weather. Storage for Grain. The general impression seems to be that owing to the unusually heavy yield of cereals this season, there will not be sufficient storage capacity in the city to accom modate a large portion of it, although largely increased since last season. Seeing tlie demand for more storage room, Messrs. Westlake & Howell have commenced erecting a large warehouse on First street, which, we are informed, will be completed by the middle of next week, although these gentlemen are ready and will receive wheat on storage at any time. Dress Chart. Go and see the Comwell Dress Chart used by Mrs. Allison ti.e only chart that cuts to fit accurately and elegantly. Yon would as soon expect to get along in dress making without a sewing machine, as without a Comwell Chart. It is a great invention. Try it and you will see; - J Entertainment. The Albany Dra matic Association give one of their pleasing entertainments this evening at the Opera House, which will doubt less be well patronized, as was the last, MOM week rim. Kniminm tinmu talent. Give ear Forests and Booths "Manual op American Ideas." During the week we have received and taken some pains to examine carefully a book denominated "Manual ot Amer ican Meae." written by Caspar T. Hopkins, of San Francisco, and de signed tor a text book in our public schools. The work is Intended to Im part to tins student, or reader, a clear idea ot the origin, growth and true nature of our political institutions. The book snpplies a want long felt, especially valuable to foreigners seek ing homes aiming us mid wishing to know something of the Government belore applying for citizeuship. The language of the work is plain, the sentences pointed, and the definitions original in their terseness and clear ness. The book should be taught in every school. Our children should be taught a knowledge of the theory of our Government, its laws and institu tions, along side the three R's. The Manual conies with the recommenda tion of such men as Governor Booth, of California, General Fisk, ot St. Louis, Howard Crosby, D. D., Chan cellor of New York University, and many other leading school men of Cal ifornia and the country. Accident Fingers Badlt Lacer ated. On Wednesday of last week, a little son of Mr. J. W. Propst, who lives four or five miles from this city, aged teu years, met with an accident neccessitatiiig tlie amputation of the second finger ot the left hand. A building was being removed, and a capstan, worked by one horse, was the motive of power, while a man was em ployed in taking in the "slack." Tlie little boy was urging the horse to greater speed, when his left hand got caught in tlie bight of tlie rope. As soon as the man engaged in taking in the rope as it left tlie capstan, beard the little fellow's cry ot pain, he dropped the end of the rope to secure the horse. This let tlie rope slip on the capstan, tearing and lasce rating the three fin gers of the left hand so badly, that it was necessary to amputate tlie second finger, which wi expeditiously done by Dr. Harris. The little fellow bore up bravely under the terrible pain in flicted, and is now doing well. C. B. Comstock & Co. This is one of the most reliable and accomodating firms dealing in grain in Oregon. They have been at considerable ex pense iu strengthening and making more commodious their large ware house at foot of Ellsworth street, and are now in better shape for rapidly handling and storing grain than ever before. They will furnish customers all the sacks they may need. They very liberally offer to store grain in tlieir warehouses, either at Halsey, Portland or in this city, free, until it is worth 75c per bushel. In other words should the price of wheat tuf reach 75c ier bushel in this market during the season, producers will have no storage to pay. They also wish to purchase flax seed, for which they offer: For common and volunteer, 3c f lb.; for extra line and clean, $2 25 f 60 lbs, the highest quotations we liave seen. Mr. W. H. Newbury, general agent for the house, is one of the most energetic, thoroughpaced business men on the Pacific slope. Read their ad. elsewhere. Nimrodical. One of our noted Nimrods loaded up his double-barrel fowling piece, tlie other day, and went a few miles into tlie country to bag a few grouse. Getting to where tlie grouse were so thick you could shake a stick at them, he commenced opera tions by emptying his gun and getting away with two birds. He proceeded to load up to take in the numerous birds that were only awaiting his pleas ure, when he discovered that, while be had brought plenty of powder and shot, lie had forgotten the caps ! We won't, be positive, but we think be ex claimed, "dodratit." before starting upon his return home. Harvesting Has commenced In earnest, and the new wheat Is begin ning to find its way into our ware houses. There Is reported to be a scarcity of hands at $1 80 per day. BuTTER-Still holds level at 10c per pound tor common, white extra food will command a higher figure.

They are in fact the source of many ailments and physical disabilities. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, aifevtions of tlie liver, disturhanees of the bowels, headache, hypochondria and monomania are among these distressing fruits. It is, therefore, of ureal importance that persona whose min Is are opnresscd with heavy business n-siioiisihilities, or harassed by family troubles, or excited by speculation, or perplexed by a multiplicity of enterpris es, or in any way overtaxed or overworked, should keep up their stamina by the daily use of a wholesome tonic Thousands of persons ihuscircumstancedare enabled to bear up against Hie difficulties In which they arc involved, and to retain their strength, health and mental clearness, by the regular use of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters. 1 iseases which are prone to at tack the body when debilitated and broken down bv over-mnch brain work or ex haus lng nhysieal lalw, are kept at hay by the resistant power with which thts in coimmra'iie tonic endows the nervous sys tem an I the Vital organs. At this season, when the hea' is evaporating theclemeir s of strength from everv nore, an invk-or-ant is absolutely essential to the safety an l comfort ot the public and is required even by the more robust if they desire to keep (heir athletic capabilities in status quo.
