troublesome complaint cannot be
cured, when so many evidences of success
might be placed before yon every day
cures of supposed hopeless cases? Your

On Saturday evening last, &s
Jake Iowe was returning home af
ter attending tlie funeral of Mrs.
Baber, driving a pair of horses be
longing to J udge Haber, the pole,
from lieing insecurely fastened to
the neck-yoke, bectme detached and
fh'l to the ground. Jake was un
able to stop the team, which ran
the hack on to a stump, upsetting
it anil, throwing the occupants to
the ground. None of the parties
were seriously hurt except Mrs.
Hrecker, a relative of Mr. Lowe's,
who had her right arm broken in
two places between the elbow and
wrist Dr. Rice was called upon,
and rendered the necessary medical
assistance. The horses were some
what injured, while the hack was
pretty well demoralized.
Tailoring. Mr. S. W. Melan,
an excellent tailor, has opened a
shop adjoining the City Market,

ready to take your measure, and
make up clothing in the best man
ner and in the latest style. A suit
of clothing that fits the wearer, let
it be ever so coarse, looks a thous
and per cent, better than a suit that
does not, let it be ever so fine. Call
on Mr. Melan who will warrant a
fit every time.

Malicious Mischief. Last
Monday Mr. Reuben Saltmarsh and Canal last Sunday was quite a
family left their residence in this j pleasant occasion, thoroughly en

Shortly after the family had de- ! Wheeler understands handling a

upon its face on the floor ; about a j present. In passing up and down
half barrel of sugar was emptied into j the Canal a great number of bridges
the fireplace ; the beds were thrown and gates, hanging exceedingly near
upon the floor, torn open, and
several punnds of nails poured into
them ; in tact tlie furniture awl al
most everything else in the dwelling
was turned tpsy-turvy, broken and
torn atid left in a thoroughly de-
moralized condition. It was un-

through a spirit of malicious mean
ness than tor the purpose of com
mitting a rohbery. Admittance
was gained to the building through
a window, in which there was a
broken pane of glass. We are in
hoped that the perpetrators ot this
piece of contemptib'e meanness may
be secured, and made to pay the
fullest penalty ot the law therefor.
The officers of the law should not
permit such outrages in our midst
without using every means at com
mand to ferret out and. punish the
guilty perpetrators.

On "Monday as Ves. ITackus was
driving Weed's grocery team out
across the Canal in the southern end
of the city, the hauiestriug broke

; P"'iS the harness back on the
j mare's flanks. I be btt e mare at

letting fly with her heels until she
kicked herself loose and upset the
wagon. No great amount ot dam
age done.
lrs. Pennington, son and daugh
ter, from Umatilla county, are here
on a visit. They left " Mc" at home
to run the ranch. By the way,
Mr. Pennington (McPennington as
he is generally called), came very
near being a member ot the Legis
lature from Umatilla county. His
opponent only beat him a few votes
probably not more than half a
dozen.
The parties who broke into R.
Sa'tmarsh's residence, gathered ail
the photographs, likenesses of the
family and Eastern friends, threw
them on the floor a- d trampled
u)on them, breaking and destroying
them. They broke open a!l the
fruit cans and preserve jars helping
themselves and leaving a spoon in
nearly every can or jar.
If yoa want a genuine Oregon
stove, manufactured in Oregon from
Oregon iron, go to John Briggs'
stove store. It sells at about the
same figure of Eastern made stoves,
does its work equa'ly as well, and
being made of better iron, and
much heavier, will last longer, and
is, therefore, a much cheaper stove.
Call and examine them, anyway.
We were pleased to receive a call
from Mr. C. R. Wheeler, of A.

years, knows how it is himself.
i The excursion on the Santiam

the water, have to be passed, which
require an immense amount of
bowing and dodging on the part ot
those who go down to see in canal
boats. The party went up the
Canal some four r five mi'es, rid
ing in the famed Red Jacket, which
was towed up by one horse. Re
turning, the boat floated down the
current, swift'yand gracefully, mak
ing about four miles an hour.
When the bridges thrown across
the Canal are raised to the proper
highth, a;id gales arranged so as not
to be in the way of boats, an excur
sion on the Canal will be delight
ful ; and we predict that they will
be of frequent occurrence iu the
near future.
Considerable excitement was
caused by a drunken man, on Tues
day, on First street, and at one
time the prospect for a general row
was good ; but the timely arrival
of the Marshal, and the locking up

matters, and peace reigned iu War
