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.

Big ClRCCS.'-The Parisian Circus,
Museum and Rig Show, will exhibit
its huge proportions in this city on
Monday. Ajignst 25th. The Yreka
Journal pronounces it the biggest thing
in the circus line that ever visited this
part of the coast. One big feature of
the show is the balloon ascension,
which transpires one hour before the
performances in the ring commence.
The balloon is said to be eighty feet
high, and when tilled with gas, is
about as large as the circus tent itself.
All together, circus goers are promised
a large amount of fun for a little mon
ey. Take your family, and if you
havn't got oue ot your own, borrow
somebody's, and go. And If you can't

Tho cares, anxieties and misfortunes of
lite have as much to do wil h shortening it
as disease. 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. Hence a conrse of Hosteler's Bitters
is particularly useful at this period of the
yeai as a defence against the invisible dis
casearloatin a sultry atmosnhere. It is
