On last Sunday the sad tidings was re ceived In thla oily ef tbe decease of Miss Rose Dannals, daughter of James Dan uals, at Salem. Aa announced in the Democrat last week, on Wednesday the 9th instant a large ovarian tumor was re moved from her body. Blood poisoning set in awhile before her deatb, and it was impossible to meet its effects. Treated for over a year by several physicians for dropsy, the disease was only aggravated, ao that though as good surgical skill as the state possesses was brought to bear, a cure proved impossible, Tbe remains ef the deceased were brought to Albany Monday noon, and on Wednesday were laid in the cemetery near th's city. Rose Dannals was but twenty years of age, and was born In Marion county,' in to Is state. 8be was an example of neble young womanhood, living a pure, unsel fish life, with a heart full of sympathy for all the world She forgot her own great sorrows, even during the last two years of her life, during wnich time be hard!y experienced a rest from pain?, in her feel ings for those in distress. She wan virtue itself, the embodiment of truth aud hon esty, loved the right and hated tbe wrong. Living a simple, uneveutly life, she was surrounded by young friends by boods as strong as even the closest relationship could make. Those who mourn her death la Oregon can be counted by the hundred. Wa all sympathize with her heart strick en parents and brothers and sisters, and with each other in the loss from this cem inanity of a true young woman. lassallatle. The installation of the new officers of the K. of P. was witnessed Thursday evening of la;t week by a large number of friends. We were unable to be present.

Take Among the many others who suffered on circus day was the family of A B Morris, living aoont six miles from Al bany. W bile they were taking in the cir cus seme miserable -wretch was taking t hem in at heme. He broke open a trunk with a stave book, turned it bottom side np, and, helping himself te a Daw ten cent pieces and a postage stamp, left tbe other things alone. A man must be deparved indeed who will commit such a despicable act. Earn Burned. Monday night about ten o'clock a fire was discovered in the eld bain en the northeast corner of Ferry and Seventh streets, belonging to Ed Thompson.! he fire department was ea.led out, the barn was torn dewn and the flames extinguished. In the structure was seme old furniture and various other articles of small valne, belonging ta George Burkhart. Tbe fire was evidently tbe work of some tramp who went to sleep with his pipe in his mouth. "Coiac Threat late Bye " The first of the week S M Need turn sent to our office by H Larapman, of 8 E Young's stote, some specimens cf long rye and wheat not often equaled, A bunch of rye was about 9 feet long, one stalk being 9 feet 2 inches, ana tbe whole field whs about of tbe same height. "If a body were to meet a body" going through such rye, even if a Col. Orr, kissing might ha indulged in without fear of discovery. The wheat was 5 feet 6 inches tell, and was a fair representation of the whole field from which it was picked at random. Next. House Breaking. It seems circus day was a harvest season f jr the genus homo, the tramp. On that day they broke into the houses of Mart Miller and Mr Nichols, broke open trunks and took therefrom small amounts of money in small cnasge saved np by the children. Mart Miller had $75 in his house belonging to a society of which be is a member, but luckily they overlooked it. Death ef Isaac Holeruan. Hon. Isaac Holeman died of heart disease at his heme near Wells Station, Monday morning. Mr Holeman came to Oregon with the pioneers and has grown up with the country.

A boy at Olympia is mourning tbe loss ef a part of bis hand, and will not play with toy pistols for awhile now, having came te that conclusion lately. A man with a white a to re pipe bat was seen on the street last Wednesday. He seemed to wish to have it made conspicuous that be was a Blaine man.

We are indent 1 to Frank E Hodgkin Assistant Secretary of State for a tabulated statement of the official returns of the late election for state district officers and the vote on the suffrage amendment. A smsll fire was discovered in the building next the Democrat office Wednesday, but it was extinguished before any damage was done. The place seems to be a general play house for boys and sleeping apartments for tramps. There are many well kept farms between Albany and Shedds. A good looking farm house, neat, with fences and out buildings iu good condition indicates thrift. Lina coun ty has more prosperous farmers than many realize. Two Albany men were examined in the Lhstnct irourt in rortland a lew days sgo for selling liquor to Indians, and held under bonds.

Yaquina Bay is the favoiite resort this summer, not only for Albany people, bat for the State generally. Like most such places the matter of stores for all these pleasure seekers is being over done, and the Bay is getting more than can be supported, from resent indications. Morris Island is the name of a locality situated about six miles southeast of Albany and it is a very picturesque place. Among improvements there, a new residence is be ing pnt np by A B Morrir, Henry Durtbick bem the carpenter.

Mr Kinnear has several warm friends in Albany who unite in extending to the happy couple hearty congratulations and well wishes for the usual long and prosperous life. A woman's rights papsr of San Francisco nominates Mrs Abigail Soott Duniway for the Presidency of the United States, and places her name at the head of its columns . but Mrs Uuniwsy very sensibly deolioes to run, which leaves the field clear for Cleave aud, BIstoe, Butler and Pom-troy. nail s v egetable Sicilian Hair Itenewer never fails in restoring grsy hair to its youth ful color, lustre.and vitality. Dr A A Hayes, atate Aeaiyer ol Massachusetts, endorses it, snd all who give it a lair trial unite in grate ful testimony to its many virtues. Following is a shoit account of one of the scciuenrs peculiar to thia season of the year : A few days'age J C Elder, of Waldo, Ore- gon, met with a serious accident, lie was running s mower, ooe wheel of which rsa into a ditch, throwing him off in front ef the ' I 1 I t B aa. . . sieaie, wnion one in right arm off to tbe bow. A few weeka age Nicholas Sprioger, tbe nine year ok! son of Nick Springer, who ia ia Albany thia week, fell out of a tree, striking on a picket fence, and inju ring his leg quite severely, laying him up. Mr Springer who came from Hubbard Station laat week, where his son has been living with his aunt, Mrs Captain Cochran, tells us that be is now out of danger and doing welL We had prepared a sensational item about a little waif found on the doorsteps ef a farm bouse sear Lebanon before learning its par outage, but fortunately the parents repented and tbe bright little child was claimed and the matter satisfactorily arranged.

He left his pat tern for cross ties for cross walks on seme lumber over night Some rascal, out of pure meanness, cut off aix inches from each end. This Mr Dickey did not discover until be hsd made tifteea or twenty of tho cross ties, which of course were useless. I he price of transportation of wheat should be reduced this year on account of the dull- of tbe money market and the low price ef cereal. It the railroad halo hur th. burdens of the farmer. An organized effort te obtain such a result ia being made.io some places sad aboutd I e made here. Rev Judy left at thia office laat Tuesday a sample of late sown spring wheat which was taken from a field of 43 acres belonging to Mr Waldon ia Beaten county It is cov ered with rust sad nearly every stalk has s worm eatrng the very life out of it. We are glad to know that auch fields are rare. This will hardly make tbe seed sown. Fruit dryers snd dealers while in Albany sheuld call on Andy Hunt and examine bis improved fruit press, ooe of the greaUat successes of the times. An important fea ture is that tbe power increases as the lever is drawn down, and then tbe lever locks it self so that the upward pressure ef tbe aub stance cannot throw the power off. The O AC R R Company have very gen erously come clear to tbe front in tbe mat tar of rates for firemen coming to tbe Au gust tournament. They offer half fare rates for parties coming to the tournament, and will give half car load grain tariff rstes each way on tbe apparatuses. This is the beet offer they have ever made to firemen. On last Saturday the good people ef Leb anon received and pot in place their new fir, bell. In tbe early part of tbe night some "beys full ef fun"gathered up a lot of boxes, barrels, etc., and placed them near the store of C B Montague and about the hoar of mid night they set fire te the debris and then rang the bell which called tbe whole village eat. Tbe fire wss seen extinguished but it aroused some ill feeling so we are informed. Tbe burning of a few old bxes, to oele brate tbe arrival of a new bell or engine, to ol common occurrence all ever tbe Uuited States, except that 'an old bare is geaerally used instead. It is always customary te overlook such things and excuse tbem, and no doubt our Lebanon friends will set cnti cize tbe yoang men too severely who jubilat ed a little last Friday night ever tbe arrival of their new be) I. Explain the following example: "Two boys together sell sixty apples, each one sel ling thirty. One boy sells bis three for 1 cent, and received 10 cents. Both together receive 25 cents. Tbe next day eae boy says he alone will sell sixty apples at tbe asms rate aa they both did tbe day before ; via., five apples for 2 cents, snd bs does so, bot receives only 24 cents. What becomes of tbe missing cent ? Those who have spent years in coloring meerschaums by the conservative, old-fash ioned method will be chagrined if tbe state ment of a London scientific paper can be proved. It is asserted that milk or cream applied by means of s common hair pencil to tbe bowl while it is being smoked snd is still warm, will produce the same magically beautiful effects aa years of fond and medi tative after-dinner fumigation. The Capitol Mills in Salem, including the milling interest belonging to tbe company in Independence, Buena Vista, and Marion, to gether with the river steamer, "City of Sa lem," have hwea sold to a newly-organized milling ('Miji-inv in. -oh nil iu part from the old u-inpauy and eotne outside individuals. The price paid was $220,000. Mr Simpson, of Salem will have charge but the board of directors wiil reside in Scotland where majority of tbe company reside. A few days sgo Denver Hackleman and N Bridges bought one of the "New Massillon" threshers aad one of the Russell engines, both manufactured by Russell A Co.. of Mas aillon, Ohio. Tbey are smong the best made and do splendid work. Already Hackleman ft Bridges hsve a large number of orders ahead for threshing and are aaaured of all they can do. They will begin threshing as soon as wheat is sufficiently dry. There is displayed at tbe Post-office a very elegant frame containing the bnaineas cards of many of our business men. They psid ths snm of $168 for the whole. It is a good way to advertise and reasonably cheap, It is but justice to the newspapers, though, which help ouua up a community, to say that they deserve st least an equal patron age from some who cannot be induced to run a card at nearly the same rate for year. Half tbe people of a community will patronize a atranger, who under no circum stances will help keep up home institutions, On Tburadsy of last week s man was found hanging bead down near Stay ton, with his boots aailed to the tree. On him waa the inscription, "Relics ef the high court of StoytOB." In another place one waa found dressed iu a ball auit, with a bat in his head, and red hair, and identified by the inscrip tion, "The fate of the red headed duds-be ware." They were not real livs man but stuffed affairs. They expressed enough thought to show that there were two near Stay ten who had aa many enemiea as friend. We olip the following brilliant (?) hit from tbe Lesuler of Corvallis : "Bile on the atom- soh is what is the matter with a man when he pent a fling like the following, taken from the Albany Democbat of last week : "Cor vallia boasts of four foot-racers all of whom will beat any from Halom or Albany.' Caa. tor oil and turpentine will rsmevo bile." Nevertheless the above boast has been made, bile or no bile, on several occasions, as tbs person who wrote ths above item for the leader knows full well, Tbe following gobbler itery taken from an I exchange is a ou rioas one : "Miss Campbell. of Roseburg.

Ho ft It something hanging te his pants on the back part ot his leg, aad taming te see what it was, bs saw tbs saske fell to ths ground, and, gathering a olub, killed it.

Sauthern Oregon has a young lady who seems to possess considerable of the maacu hue spirit, aa tbe following would indicate "Aa old gentleman who resides near Eagle Point had business in Laks county and left the premises ta charge of his daughter and a hired man. The conduct ef tbe hired was not satisfactory to tbe lady and she paid him off ami discharged him.

Tlurv are pessimists and optimists in this world, and many of bath, not withstanding their high sounding names tney are simple enough whan you know the meauings.and can be utLm bV ndood as well as tbe causa for water running down hill or a man talking politics.

From every thing that occurs the bad is boot ad fer with double powered microscope, while the good is entirely forgotten. A man of average character is all bed If he ever did anything objectionable, and no aaiount of good can reconcile that fact, Have us from tbe pessimist. For my part 1 can like the rose even if it has thorns, water even if it Is full af atomic life, fruit after tbe rot la cnl away, and men and woman even if their character are full of defect, for I, as well as all whom I kuown, live ia the traditional glass houses.

That would lay tbe foundation for a woolen mill, it would build haif of a large Ceatral school house.

Anyway tnis fa a free country and we have to a certain extent the right to t oend our money aa we please. V A wheat crop without any freeze, out, without a rust, without a cremation, without a drowning, verily we are to be congratulated tbia year ; but some times there are other things nearly as bad, for instance low prices. Thirty bushels of wbeat per acre at 70 cents ia little better than twenty at $1.00. If there Is to bo anything bad it U our duty te find out aod mourn over it. The indications that wheat will not rise above 70 cents in Linn county tbia year are marked at tbe present time It is possible that a few months will change such a prospect, but not prob able. If so theu there is something to agitate us; but even with wbeat at 70 cents thi? year, with our large crops. times ought certainly to be good tbe coming winter. Water seeks its level, and lower prices for wheat means low- er prices for tbe articles which tbe farmermust buy. Many people bad rather be humbug ged than not, aud seem to seek for seme manner of being cheated, as a fox bunta for hia bole whan a bound te oa his track. The worse tbe humbug tbe more tbey will be taken to.
