And now we are informed that the ladies

Escaped Again.
We were a little too fast in eur item yes
terday about Logan. Before Sheriff Herren
arrived at Lebanon Logan had made his es
cape from his captors. In the evening as
Mr. Wiley was walking up the street with
him he sprang off to one side and sncceded
in running away, although several shots were
fired at him. Strenuous exertions are be
ing made to effect his capture, and if he is
again arrested he will very probably be
turned over to the Sheriff!

Hease Breaking,
Last Tuesday evening while ths Council
Was in session a bey cams bursting in and
wanted the Marshal, saying that a man bad
broken into Dr. Harris's house up town. He
said that the Dr. had gone to Eugene and had
told him to watch over hi house in kin ab
sence. He had noticed a light in the house
and had gone over there aad found a man in
it "running" around, and the man would not
tell him who he was, and wouldn't leave the
n remises. After the bov had finished bis
story tho Marshal grasped his largo cane,
and with smiles illuminating his classic fea
tures in the expectation of large fees, he.
in comuanv with Policeman Watkins and
the boy, proceeded to tho house which was
being burglarised. Arriving there they tie.
ployed so as to surround the house, and
tien getting their "nippers" and shooting
irons ready they marched upon the enemy's
works. After effecting an entrance they
soon found the object of their search, and it
is a question in the mind of Watkins yet
as to which looked the most surprised the
Marshal, or Squire Wolverton. Yet the
burglar was none other than Square Wolver
ton. He says Dr. Hams lett him in charge
of the house and he has been sleeping there
aver since the Doctor left, and under the
circumstances the Marshal concluded to
make no arrest.

BoVrt Earl was in our city yesterday and
had with him some speime'n of coal taken
from a vein which he discovered a short time
ago on the Calapooia, about IS miles above
Brownsville and 3 miles above McDowell's
mill. The vein was discovered at a point
where it cropped out on the bank of the Cal
apooia and is about one foot thick and twen
ty feet wide. It is the intention of Mr.
Earl to follow the vein back to the foot hills
and then sink a shaf c on it The cropping
do not seem to indicate that the coal will be
of as tine a quality as that found in the

The discussion lasted the greater part of

by the Universal i3t Association of this State
to meet Rev. Driver in debate, and the Ad

That mnch-talked-of excursion to Portland
comes off to-morrow, and will no doubt be a
grand affair. There is much more comfort in
such an excursion as this will be than making
the round trip to Roseburg and back in one
day. Rem .mber that you will nave six hours
in Portland, and will arrive at home by 9
o'clock in the everting. The fare has been
put down to $2 for the round trip, so that all
can go. Don t buy tickes ami tuen tail to be

Albasv, May 28, 1S78.
To the Editor trf the Ortgonian :
In your issue of the 27th inst. some one
writing over the uom de plume of "Veritas,"
not content with hurling his shafts of invec
tive against (as he terms him) the "paid at
torney" of Bancroft ft Co., tries to leave the
impression upon your readers that lion, T.
J. St i ten, the nominee for Superintendent of
Public Instruction, was one of the ones who
advocated the introduction of tho ''Pacific
Coast Series" iuto oar public schools.
This insinuation was made either through
gross ignorance of the facts In the case, or in
tentionally, to place Mr. Stites iu a false po
sition in the eyef of the people of the State.
The last is the most natural conclusion, since
your correspondent claims to base nil his in
formation on "very reliable sources." In the
teal he displays in sounding the praia of
Prof. Powell, he evidently forgets thenrnif
reliable source of information attainable, and
contents himself with hearsay evidence
alone, I
This indeed seems a little strange hot to
say blameworthy in one who pretends to
feel such a deep interest in the cdut-ationn
affairs of the state. Why did not "Vcri
consult the records of the suwrintendeut (f
public instruction at Salem before he entered
upon the discussion of a subject of such im
portance to the pcopli? Had he put himself
to that trouble, he would have found his
"reliable sources" to the contrary notwith
standing that at the same time the law iu
passed introducing the Pacilio Coast Seriw
into our schools. Air, Stites was superinten
dent of Linn county; that the blank sent him
by th esuperiutendeut of public onslructiou
to be filled out with the series of books ht
preferred and desired, noirAcre made mention
of "Pacific Coast Series, but Mr. Stites (so
to speak) "reted unanimously" against then
introduction and use. This is a matter oi
record, but "Veritas," iu hi bliad zeal or
gross ignorance, forgets the tact and trust
merely to tne information of others.
Again e state for the edification of "Ver
itas," that Mr. Stites voted against the whole
Pacific Coast Series when the question came
before the superintendent of several counties.
As to the qualifications of Mr. Stites for the
office to which he has been nominated, we
have nothinst to say thev speak for them
selves in plainer and moreglowingterms than
we can command. The eminet success he
achieved as a principal and teacher, and the
universal satisfaction he gave the people of
unn county tutu as teacher and a school su
perintendent for many years are a sutticieut
guarantee of his ability to successfully man
age and promote the educational iuterests ol
toe State.
In conclusion we would snsirest to "Veri
tas" the propriety of examining the records
in future as being usually considered a source
of reliable information iu matters of public in
terest. LEWD.
