Last Sunday afternoon about two o'clock
Pamuel Rice and another boy named
Temple were riding hot ee bask on the road
between Lebanon and Wster.oo, having
just been at SJodavllle, when at the sug
trestion of one of the boys, they started
their horses at full speed to aee which
would reach a certain point tint, On
reaching a small bridge young Rice's
horse stumbled throwing him over bia
head on the bridge. It Is thought the
horse in some manner fell on him, for
when reached by the Powell boy and
others who were summoned, his head was
mulillated and out up in a shocking man
ner. Dr. Powell, of Lebanon, who hap
pened to be driving in the vicinity at the
time, was gotten on the spot a few mo
ments later ; but nothing could be done.
About fifteen minutes after the accident
While taking young Rice to a house near
by he breathed his last. The accident
caused great excitement among the many
frequenters of Sodaville and Waterloo,
universal regrets being expressed as well
as sympathy for the relatives and friends
of the victim of the accident,
Samuel Rice was a son of L C Rice, ex
Bberiffof Linn county, of Brownsville,
was about fifteen years cf age and is high
ly spoken of by those who knew him.

What ttary ere Doing for In
Thy, ptice oi wheat remains a stationary,
And maybe dowji as uncertain, as an
European war. All speculation as to whAt
the qaot tioQi will be in the future Are very
unsatisfactory. It is easy to figure ont either
a high or low prici. A sin dl orop in the U.
S. with a goal crop abroad c i' I easily be
molded into amU figores. Without a big
war it is difficult to naake quotations high.
Many Linn orauty fir-nan will rejoice at 70
cents. The wool ma.ket, though much wool
is coming in, is quiet, at 13 to 15c. In dried
fruits current, reports of a! n -r. no crop At
All in the East leads us to look for 8 to 10c
for dried apples. Quotations for old fruit are
about 4c, and only speculation gi yes new
fruit a higher market. Meats remain the
same. Spring chickens may be marked At $2
to $2.50 per dacn ; apples 40 ; potatoes,
40c pears, 40c. Blackberries are many and
cheap at So. a quart. Green corn has appear
ed at Io2. a do&sn ears : peach, J c a
dozen.

hundrel Iowa papers. The principal
comments relating to Albany, Linn coun
ty, or the Willamette Valley, have been
or will be, published in our columns. As
a whoie our slate hes received a "send
off" which, we prodlct, will prove of grout
value. Besides U has glveu Iowa people
a true insight into our people and country.
Where many of them heretofore have
imagined that a wild Indian was liable to
meet them on every corner, or they might
at any moment be devoured by the beat
of the forest, or tLat they could tako up
land at oor doors, or that we were an un
civilized people, and needed missionaries,
er that we have no churches or schools,
they now know that we are much like all
the rest of the States, except that we have
better climate, more lertile soil, and
grander scenery than moH of them, that
our Indians are as harmless and Insignitl
cant as snails, that coyote are about our
only enemy among tbe beasts, and they
only to our sheep ; that land except back
in tbe foot hills is valuable property and
has to be paid well for, that we are an un
commonly well civilized people, that mla
sionartes need us as much as we do them ;
that we have plenty of churoboa and ft rat
class schools, and tbe -neat and tbe
healthiest looking girls In tbe world .
tJtioriai excursions are just wnat we
want, and we can not tteat visiting editors
too woll. When the Colorado quill shov-
ers reach Albany we should give them a
hearty welcome. They deserve It.

Next week tbo Dhmocrat will be twen
ty-ono, and has It not, like o very young
man, on reaching maturity ,a right to crow
ovor the fact, It has labored for Linn
county and Albany moat faithfully during
these long years, and Is It more than Just
to say thAt It has done much towards the
work of building up both the city and
county. In roturn It has received a flat
tering support, which It is proud of, Few
papers of Orogon hsve beau backed better
by the people of the couutles In which
they are publlahod, This support has
given the Dkmochat a circulation second
to only one or two papers In the State,
outside of Portland. Tho good words we
are every day receiving, toll ns how well
it will be continued In the future, and the
many new subscribers we are adding to
our list emphaclxM this fact In a manner
whloh pleases us best, Was It not a part
of the life of the PaMooavr, a well as of
every other paper, to receive every few
days notices reading something like this :
'Sir -pursuant to Instructions from the
Postmaster General I beg loavn to inform
von that your paper addressed to Johu
Dead boat Is not taken out but remalus
dead in this office. You will please tils
continue the same. Reason moved away,
or uncalled for. Blguod A. U. C, P, M "
our circulation would soon rival tho "New
York Weekly j" but the stringency of the
times makes those quite frequent, partic
ularly after a large number of statements
of account have been sent out, so that the
now but little more than balances the lost.
This, though, Is muoh in consideration of
our large circulation, long ostabl (shed, the
low price of wheat, tbe poor fruit market,
and the dilatory conduct of Kngland lu
declaring war against Russia, Of course
we would like mere, If possible. A circu
lation of five thousand would auit us
Our good conduct for twenty-ono years

a right to expect so much, in fact not
much more than a fourth of it. That, the
way newspaper business Is over doue, Is
about all the country justltlo, for a first
cla circulation and the fact that we have
It Is a feather In our capadvertbtera should
take notice of, for the benefit derived from
an advertisement depends ontirely on the
number of people the piper In which It
appear reaches.
Now this Is open handed talk, but, we
do this way lu order to be candid aud
show just how we enter our twenty first
birthday.
If you imply that we have an excellent
circulation, but that tbo quiet times have
made some in arrears, you just about bit
the nail on the head. If our subscribers
would help us to celebrate our maturity
they would do an act greatly to be desired
by us.

One Sunday evening net long since a
g entleman at Sodaville. after a big crowd
h ad been drinking at tbe spring ail day,
in reaching down into the spring to get a
drink, run his enp on to something soft.
On Inv estimation be found tbst it was a
dead pup. Beside it were eight otr er pups,
and somewhere iu the community was
ano'.her most monstrous puppy who bad
drowned the poor little beasts there in or
der to play a low lived trick ou the com
mnnity. All day long the large crowd
bad been drinking the health giving soda
water unconscious that it was flavored
with deed pups. Tbe Indignation over
the affair is exceedingly great.

Laet Tuesday afternoon John F Earl
waa arrested In this city for assaulting
Michael Fitzjerald, and taken before
George Humphrey, Kq. According to
the testimony of Fitzjerald. who seem
ed to be pretty well under the influence
of liquor, It was hard to t II what the
circums.ances of the case were : hot
Earls statement was that Fitzjerald and
another man were playing euchre in
the Star Brewery for twenty five cents
aside, when a dispute aroie as to which
won a game. Ear! refused to give up
the money until decided. Fitzjerald
followed him to his fathers home in the
eastern part of the city, through the
house and Into the j art', whers ho at
tacked him, or they met. The flght
resulted in Fitzjerald's being very bad
ly pounded up in tbe face. Night
watch Brown being in the vicinity
took both in charge and brought them
to tho city, but only Fitzjerald made a
complaint. Earl on examination was
discharged.

This gentleman was tbo founder of the
organization known as tho A. O. U. W.
He is now in California and about tbe
25th of next month he will visit this State
and, we are informed be will visit Albany.
He was born in North Carolina in 18.J0,
and hence is 05 years of age. In 1115 he
settled in Pennsylvania and entered tbe
employ of tbe Pennsylvania R, R., in tbe
shops as a master mechanic where he re
mained for over 20 years, DurlnR his
stay here be saw various ways in which
tbe life of the mechanic might be Improvt
ed, Tbe first thought was to bring em

gether in fraternal relations, and as a re
suit of his thoughts upon this subject
Jefferson Lodge, No. 1, A. O. U. W.t ol
Mead ville, Pen n , was organized oq Oct.
27th, lgtfS. Out of this small beginning
Tho tendency is towards returning to the
styles of dress of fifty years g o.
If this could be accompanied by tho uood
m-nse and economic habits of that period It
would be a commendablo thing.
Uauressetl knl SJSSVS0S in tan shade are
the thing for dress toilet.
Undressed boys in tan shade are the prin
cipal aight at the month of the ('alipoota
evenings.
A horse shoe with one end broken ufl is
the latest design for brooches, etc.
Samples can be found at any of tho Albany
blacksmith shops. It is to be hoped Willara
ette Valley ladies will be up with the times.
Parties visiting Newport should note that
cream colored flannels art fashionable for sea
side toilets.
The "bargain" season is here.
Flights of birds are an eccentricity for
trimming dresses for certsin "hifalntiog'
