Wednesday a street fakir who carried hit occupation in his face took eut a license and opened hi valise of two cent jewelry on the corner of First and Broadalbin street. He sold several cuff buttons for 25c, 50c and iouc and immediately made the pur chasers a present of twice the amount which they paid. Then he offered chain foi $1 a piece and sales were electric. Our christian citizen thought they could bilk the poor, lone fellow by paying a dollar and getting back twx as he said he had five ctacs,and they thought he would keep giving them money for nothing. When sale became slow he made each purchaser a present of a gold watch, made out of brass and pa per, on receipt of an additional dollar, and just as the noon train whistled put all of the money. ust $a3 in hi pocket and drove awav, leaving a crowd of sheepish looking men behind, The M. A. T. has observed that some people will never learn by experience, that you cannot beat a man at his own Sme, that street fakirs do not travel for rir health, and would like to warn peeple for the hundredth time that there is money made bv leaving such fellows alone ; yet it serves men who try to beat them right if they get left. O Albany people catch cold as much as manv other people. It is now fullv estab lished that all people catch cold who live in doors. Writers in the Sdemtijic Amserkam Erove conclusivelv that catching colds can e s voided bv living and sleeping out doors in all kinds of weather. Though a big sav lag the M. A. T. prefer to decline. The great fault in reference to colds is the uai vernal carelessness in passing from warm rooms Into the open air, or the reverse. Quit it. O Trout may now be caught with impunity and a fish hook. The law goes into effect to-day. Those caught out of season, as many have been in Albany, had as delicious a taste as the legitimate ones. O The time is approaching when street fakirs will put in an apoea ranee and apply for a city license with which to swindle the Eod people of this city and vicinity. Right re the If. A. T. protests against the prac tice of granting licenses for such purposes. The pretext that it is for selling soap or something of the kind, is no excuse for it. It only takes a medium sized bump of hu man nature to pick out a street iakir, and when he makes his call with his box of soap there should be a spirited NO ready. Down on frauds generally. P. . No. I has been here, Last week the M. A: T. mentioned the fact that several third-class shows would be in Albanv within a few days. He now ad mits that lie spoke hastily. He should have said fifth-class, if not less ; yet there were some good actors among the number. O The amount of money Phrenologist M r : is cleared in Albany is now figured out at $x Now that the Professor has retired he is generally set down as a medio cre phrenologist, with a big bump of ac quisitiveness. O According to the M A. Ts Astronomic al chart the heavens now are about in their glory. At 8 o'clock in the evening Venus may be seen near the horizon in the west, the queen of planets ; Jupiter just ri-.in 4 in the East, the king of planets ; Saturn to wards the south, not many degrees from the Zenith, and near the Twins, Castor and Pollux. The brightest star in the south, wending westward, is Sinus, which forms a triangle with Betelguese, near Orion, and Procyon, farther north, all of the first mag nitude. The Pleiades is in the south, well up, "glistening like a storm of fire flies," according to Tennyson. High up is Capella and north of the Pleiades Is the reddest of stars Aide! a ran. UTTRDKR AT HARR19fUTKG. Three or four weeks ago Schuyler Ford, of Ilarrisburg, a young man about twenty one years of age, disappeared At the time he was just getting ready to open a saloon In Coburg, having purchased a lot and put up a building for the purpose. When seen the last time in Ilarrisburg he had on his person about $7ca in money and checks on Albany bank. After his disappearance an overcoat and pistol belonging to him, were found in the Harrisburg Hotel. Foul work began to be feared, and friends of the young man began to make Inquiries. Sunday morning hi body was discovered lying against a log near the bank, in the Wlllnm ette, between two and three miles below Harrisburg, somewhat decomposed ; but not so bndl v that the body was not easily f w tf identified. The head was crushed on one of the temples and the lower jaw broken, In dicating that the young man hod been killed by some instrument, perhaps an ax. The money and checks were gone ; his watch remained in the pocket, the hands pointing ts b o'clock, the chain was gone. The deed to the Coburg property and several letters were found in the pockets. The case was given te a Coroner's jury, which are now making investigations before repotting. There is no doubt that a foul murder was committed for Ford's monev, and the cac should be thoroughly investigated. A liberal reward will probably be offered by the citi zens of Harrisburg, and to their purse the counts- should add a liberal amount. Die mystery of the murder, If one has occurrred, should be ferreted out, l.i-'- Monday the body of Ford was taken through this city to Corvallis for interment . The deceased was a step-son of Mr Peter H Wigle. of Harrisbarg precinct, and was well known in that part of the county. "Little lirowa Jag." This well known and popular play will be presented at the Opera House to-morrow (Saturday) evening, under the auspices of the I. O. G. T. of this city.

U. w!lh the follow ing cast of cttaracters : ('t'RRRNT KVKNTH Keep a Stiff Upper Up. Hunt in; Coal. The Democrat office acknowledges a call on Monday from Coi Frank J. Parker, editor of the Walla Walla Statesman, who accompanied by Dr. Oglesoy and C S Mill er, of Fossil, had been prospecting for coal in the Coast Range. They found good in dications but nothing definite, not making a complete search, as they were anxious to return home before Parker's pass became outlawed by the action of the interstate commerce law, which goes into effect in a few days. Albany is gradually becoming the stop ping point of the Central Willamette Valley. Speculators in wheat, oats, etc., are making their headquarters here. Eastern manu facturers have their eyes on our city. They have heard of our magnificent water power Various rumors .a re afloat ; but rumors often do more hurt than good before they assume tangible form. There is too much of a habit among Pacific Coast people to make mountain-, out of molehills iust from unre liable rumors. This is true particularly with the press. Certainly no city in the Valley has half the bright prospects of Al bany for rapid growth. We need to hold our horses though and not run into the fence the way many booming towns do, Hhaar A Ixmsway. Mr. T. A. Shane, who has been in busi ness here during the last year, and Prof. L. V. Lonsway, Principal of the public schools, have formed a partnership, and will greatly enlarge and add to the present business. A millinery department, under an experienced milliner, will be a feature, and also a line of Wannemaker's clothing, they having the agency here. They propose keeping a splendid stock of fine dress goods and mak ing a specialty of that line.

According to the despatches the mall route from Albany to Lebanon, on April 10th will be curtailed, Albany to be omi.ted and to begin at Spicer. Houte from Halsey curtailed by ending at Brownsville. Route from Turner to Mehama leaves out Tui ner and begins at Aumsville. These changes are made on account of mail service being established on the Narrow Gauge R. R. The change puts Lebanon farther off than Seattle from Albanv. Last Wednesday a thief entered Dr Winter's room at the Vincent House and took $100. a razor and some other articles. and Hodge's gun store and :00k about $$ worth of revolvers. On account of pawn ing the razor and subsequently redeeming it he was identified, but escaped and came to Albany, where he was arrested about noon by Marshal Wetfalt, and identified bv Dr. Winter. He gave his name as Meredith. He certainly was a reckless burglar. New To-day.

The following from an exchange makes it more mvitrrtuu. than ever : The mystery of the disappear ance of Willis Skiff, which caused such a sensation last summer, has been cleared up. j uetecuve set nimseii to clear It up and l said to have traced the missing man to Can ada. In the evidence on the trial of three men suspected to have murdered him a idtiht watchman in the employ of the O.

Several new business houses In Albany are rumored. The Portland city directory tor 1887 nuts the population of that city at 37,5c x Notwithstanding the small amount raised by the Vancouver firemen this years tourna ment according to President Wosiey b bound to be a success. Here is what he say "The Association bocs In this time In better financial trim than at any time since its organization.
