A MAN ABOUT TOWN.
Last week through a misunderstanding
the M. A. T. mentioned Mr. Chas Pierce as
the leader of the Mechanic's Band. Mr. R.
A. H oh man is leader, who, by the way, at a
cornet player, has few equals in Oregon.
Mr. Hohtnan has done excellent service for
this band and the M. A. T. would not in
tentionally say anything to take away the
credit due him. lie Is entitled to renewed
thanks for many courtesies. Mr Pierce is
leader only of the Boys Band.
O
A petition was circulated, and signed by
nearly every business man in Albany ask
ing tike repeal of the provision in the police
ordinance prohibiting the riding of bicycles
on the sidewalk anywhere in the city. The
M. A. T. believes the petition should be
granted. Bicycle riding is now just as much
a means of navigation as walking, does not
Injure the sidewalks in the least and does
not endanger life or property. The bicy
clists of Albany are responsible young men,
and are entitled to be treated as in other cities
of the site of Albany. In Salem It is al
lowed except on the main buslneas street, in
Portland It is allowed except on and beyond
Fourth street, and everywhere the bicycle is
only kept off the business streets, and in
many place not even there. Albany can
not afford to be one sided in this matter.
The fact that the city officers have been In
structed to Mwink" at the matter does not do
away with the right of the petitioners to
have some kind of action on the petition.
O
The new divorce law, permitting divorces
en the grounds of one vears desertion, 1
now in effect. It will be a fine thing for
lawyers ; but is a disgrace to our statute
books. Our divorce laws are becoming
shamefully loose.
O
It is becoming too common for people, on
slight provocation, to have their neighbors
arrested for offenses thev are never able to
prove. On their ex part proof a case
.;
easily made out larfore a Justice of the Peace,
and all he can do is to issue a warrant. He
gives it to the Constable, and all he can do,
u to serve it, if he has to travel several hun
dred miles to do it, though only a six year
old rooster has been taken. The history in
Linn county has been that in only about
two cases out of ten a conviction follows,
that in eight cases putting the county to a
large and unnecessary expense. The fault
is generally not with the Justice or Con
stable, but with the neighbor, who under
the heat of spite or passion, makes wild
statements. In order to effect an arrest, and
which when the trial, or examination before
the Grand Jury comes off he cannot sub

Arrested 'for Libel.
William R. Boone, editor of the Oregon
Siftinfs, was arrested last week on charge
of Peter Riley for libel, brought to this city
and Friday held to await the action of the
grand jury in the sum of $500 bonds, which
were furnished. This is about the wav it
happened. A scurrilous item appeared in
the Sif tings from this city about a well
known citizen. The subject of the sketch
went to Portland and hauled Mr Boone over
the coals. In the next issue of his paper he
apologized and said the article written was
signed by one James 9r William Riley, and
as there was no such person here it proba
bly referred to Peter Riley, whom he at
tacked in strong language. When Mr.
Riley saw this he was very naturally great
ly incensed, as it is generally considered a
disgrace to be connected with such a cor
respondence as has been going on in the
SitimgM, and Mr. Riley is not that kind of a
man. Hence the warrant of arrest.
Closing Exercise.
Closing exercises of the Albany Public
'School, under the management of Prof.
Lonaway and assistants, wilt be held in the
double rooms, at the school house, on
Thursday and Friday afternoons of next
week, beginning at 1 :30 p. m. each day.
There will be room for about one hundred
and fifty visitors. A cordial invitation is
extended to the citizens of Albany general
y to be present at these exercises.
So Hie Ihingles.
.
Those who went to Mr. William Fort-
miller's Friday evening ascertained the fact
that a shingle social is a very fine thing.
This one particularly was. Numerous
games were played by an uncommonly
large number of young people, and a choice
lunch served on nicely naturally scented
shingles, which, by the way,are much more
convenient than plates, and are novel for
the purpose. Albany needs a scries of
shingle or other socials.

encouraging one. Spring wheat has only
been sown on the higher lands and Is look

and some Spring wheat will be sown yet,
with promise of results. We are told of
Spring wheat sown as late as the 25th that
