1he advent of between cue and two
hundred Iowa editors into tbe Northwest
la a great eveat, and at tbe same time a
more serious one than inanv ol our cltlxn
appreciate. Already a terrific cyoloue ban
ooourred In Iowa, oauMHl, says President
Hwalm by tbe vacuum occasioned, which
bad to U filled by something, and It I
featid even by thnt gentleman, that the
superabundance of brain power now cen
tered here, will bring upu us, If not brain
fever, at leant empty cupboerdlbus, a din
tremlng disease generally followed by
la visit from an editor. In view of these
and other Mtartling facts. It Is but right
that our oitlaons should be warned In time
and be prepared for them, They will ar
rive here this (Friday) evening, under
cover of darkness, that being a favorite
time for them to put in an appsarance.
Albany people wilt do well, if not to keep
their houses full of
at least to be on their guard ami at all
limes keep a watchful
on them. When it is considered that edi
tors are an impecunious set of men, never
wealthy, except in being the owners of
bushels of bad accounts, lae importance
of this will be emphacissd. Better heart
ed, more gsneroua, well intemioued men,
men possessing finer intellectual attain
ments, as well as versatile soci al qualities,
than these Iowa editors, cannot be found
this side-of the London "Times" is the
east or the Pekln "Gazette" in tbe west,
Wears justly proud of be'ongtng to the
same profession, In these Iowa editor,
particularly, the people of the Willamette
Valley take a great interest. More Linn
county people have come from that State
than from any other State in the Union,
and they know of their attainments. There
are old friends among them, men they
have beard of for years, sttne who write to
give the n ws, others to interest, others to
make their many subscribers
the abore being a genuine picture of a
man who died after reading the Barling
ton "Hawkeye" one month ; yet, not
withstanding these facta, it will be well
m-rt to be too careless when tbey are here.
Their poor, starving compositors back in
I ira have to be paid, or at least fed, On
account of poor crops there this year it ia
feared this la but a recruiting expedition.
At the same time what is done should be
done secretly. These gifted mei all have
electrified pens with them ready on the
Impulse, and as we are desirous of having
them leave Albany with a brilliant, soul
stirring account of it, we cannot afford to
be too cautious. Treat them well, aplen
didly, courteously. They deserve It. If
wo do this thev will tell their subscribers
what a hospitable people we are,and what
a good country hta is to live in, about
our fine water pew er, our flouring mills,
our wheat fields, our fertile, unsurpassed
lands, sad thiols what we wsnt, for sev

These editors will remain in Albsny
till to-morrow (Saturday) at 1O.30 when
they will be conveyed by steamer to
Corvallis, thence down the west side to
Portland, and thence home,
Tbe program whiie the editors are in
Albany is for the Msyor and citizens,
headed by the two bands, to march at
9 o'clock on Saturday morning to the
DeXt Hotel, wLete the excursionists will
take breakfast, and conduct them through
the principal fetreets to the steamer.
Parties wishing to aceompnny them to
Corvallis can obtain round trip tickets for
60 cents.
Another Victory.
When the announcement was made that
the U. S. Fish Corn, was coining to this coast
with a car load of shad for oar rivers, Mr C
P Burkhart wrote to the President of the
Board of Trade at Portland and asked him
to secure a few of the fish for him for the
Uooer IFillsmette. The President notified
Mr Burkhart that the Com. had instructions
to deposit all his car load in tiio Upper Wil
Jamette and hence th-.rc was no necessity ef
seodiughitn any, but when they arriyed
they were emptied into the Willamette at
Portland and hence they can never reach the
Upper Willamette. This is another victory
for Portlmd over the valley.

which it contained.
ALUMNI LITKIIARY.
On Monday evening, ou account of tlio in
oleineut condition of the weather only a fair
audience greeted Win alumni of the Institute
at thoir opeu literary entertainment at the
College Chapel. Those who wore present
listened to an uncommonly line program,
short but choice. The d liferent tarts impress
ed the Drmocka r man something, as follows .
The piano .l. f Mus Khtboth Conner,

the public hall ; it received deserved com

pi i men ts . the essay oi airs v ri .-siewsrt, on
"Memory. "as a thoughtful, well written
production, on an interesting subject, im
pressing one with the importance of reading
good works and the necessity of remember
ing what one reads : the recitation of Miss
Mary Irviue, "The First Settler's Story," as
IxMim splendidly rendered, in Miss Irvine's
pleasant style, with line effect and in a man
nor we have never seen Miss Irviue surpass :
the piano solos by Miss L.ura Tat-, "Cavat,"
by Johnsou and "I'elka hrilliante,"' by her
self, both as being artisticlv executed, with
splendid expression. Miss Tate plas with a
oontideuce snd force which inspires those
who hoar her, and as well writes musio with
taste : the oration of J as J Charlton, as a
masterly effort, exhibiting a splendid com
mand of language with au attractive sty Is.
We regret that we lack apace to give a syn-
nisis of the thoughtful, carefully prepared
subject matter of the oration : the duet by
Mrs (too h t harnberlain aud Miaa Lucie
Welch, "Two Captive Maidens," as being sa
ploaajug a duet as we can remember haviug
listened to, the voices of the two sisters
blending in complete hsrmouy, yet ret tin

er : the "annals" by Mrs C K Wolvertou,
as being ably gotten up, full of well duett d
hits and as well of just encomiums, giving
pointed sketches of each of the twenty oue
members of the aluinut, about whom we
learned the followiutt : Mr liraddtaw and
Miss Mary Finlayson are dead ; Mi Frank

Tuesday afternoon the sub-?rduates of
the College gave a public entertainment at
the Chapel, which was of peculiar interest,
as it spoke in strong terms of the amount of
efficient work being done in the Institute,
all of the essay s and sub-lectures being ou
subjects gone over during the past year.
After prayer by Hev Thompson, of Salem,
Miss Elizabeth Conner cxecnted s piano solo,
about which the same might be said as of the
one rendered by her the previous sveaing.
Essays were read during the afternoon by
Collins Elkins, of the English History class,
on "Alfred the Great ;" by Ksther Warner,
of the class in English Composition, on
"Needle Work ;" by Qoincy U Propst, of
the class in Knitlish Literature, on "Sir
Walter Scott :" by Stephen Flinn, of the .
class in Natural I'hylosophy on "Light. " .
and by I-rank i'ropst, of the ltin clas, on I

showed thorough study in the different ,
classes and carefnl instruction mi the use of

hould be, with perhaps the exception of the
last mentioned, the essayists not using suf

lne same may be said of some ot the sub-
ecturessnd recitations, and in fact, of stu
dents generally. Ths snb lectures by John A
eisendorfer, on " The Caroonilerous fen od
Ceology," and by Frank rower, on
'Geometry," exhibited the same careful
tudy and thorough instruction as did the
. . a .
essays, their deliveries incut n, naiarauy
enough, being somewhat embarrassed. Tl.e
sub-lectors by Miss Lillie Robertson, on
'Mental Philosophy'' was the model exercise
of the entertainment. SuJtndidly classified
and admirably delivered, in au easy manner.
with a distinct, strong voice, well under con
trol, it deserved hesrty encomiums, and re.
ceivedthsm. The recitations by Miss Ksther
Marshall. "The Relief of Lacknnw f by
Vli.ts Flora Mason. "The Maiden Martyr ;"
by Miss Helen Crawford, "The Painter of
Seville," all showed good control of the
voice, expression and grace, though, with the
exception of Miss Crawford, hardly eneugh
streogth of voice. Miss Ins Robertson s ren
dition of "Taking an Klevator," entitles her
to the dcstinction of being, by far, the best
comedian reciter in Albany. In her line of
comio recitations she has few equals any-
here. A comic, well rendered duet by the
Misses Rebertsou was a pleasant feature in
tbe program.
Tbe exercises were closed by some apt re
marks by Rev Thompson, of Salem, one only
of which we will mention. He paid the
young ladies of the school a deserved com
pliment on the sensible way in which they
dressed their hair, not one wearing bangs,
which are like eternal cloudy weather, while

this county, ware at church on the Sabbath
day, an entrance was effected into one cf
their houses and a number of articles were
carried away. Suspicion rejted on a strange
wan who had been pruwlutg amund in ths

disappeared and nothing more was thought
ai the matter until the latter part of last
week, when the stranger appeared again. On

Just received a case of the Celebrated Ball
Coil Sping Corset, the only corset that can
be returned after three week's wear if not
satisfactory. These corsets are bought direct
from tho manufactuier, saving one profit and
enabling me to give better value for the
money than any other corset. All styles and
qualities always on hand.

Never go into a store where you are not
wanted. If a man wauts yon to go into bia
room he will invite you to do so, and if a
man wants you to visit his place of business
he will invite you through the columns of
your local newspaper. It is wrong to intrude
upon privacy. Do not do it, Alt.
