A MAM ABOUT TOWN. Buainea between Albany and San Fran cisco Is not much as It "used to was." On a Thursday evening an Albany merchant ordered goods of a ban Francisco house. The order went by mall. Monday morning the goods arrived In Albany. In the evening the money want south In payment for them and Saturday morning the receipt arrived, four trips being made Tn a little over eight days. Few more business like transactions are rarely reported. O Last Saturday the M. A. T. met Mr. George McKnight just after his return from San Francisco, where he went with fourteen head of horses, which he readily disposed of. While gone George made a fine collection of horse halr,ecuring locks from the manes of Sab e Wilkes who Towered the three year old record, Stanford's reading, who lowered the yea. ling record, Maud a s mother and others. A woman might be proud of as fine hair aa some of these locks are made up of I When his collection is completed from all the famous trotters in America Mr. M. proposes to have a horse hair chain that will be a credit to any turf man O Albany people wince when they pay ya cents for eggs, but at the same time 44 cents wholesale was being paid in San Francisco and 4O cents In Portland. The average price since last Spring In Albany has been eighteen cents. At this price their hi money in hen fruit. W. 8. Jehaay. About a year ago Warm Spring Johnny tried at Eugene on the charge of at- to rob the Lane County Treasurer's omccconvicted and sentenced to two year's imprisonment in the State penitentiary. Thine was a general belief, shared by the Osmocbat, at the time, that Johnny was not guilty. The members of the O. A. R. of Eugene have come to this conclusion from a letter received from Chief of Police Par Hsh of Portland, and will petition the Gov ernor for the pardon of Johnny. Mr Par- rteh recently learned that a man just sent to the Montana penitentiary con teased to hav law been the one who attempted to rob the Treasurer's office and the matter will be in veathrated. Johnnv's attorney, Hon. L. H. Montanye, of this city, is doing what he can to learn the truth of the matter. It looks very much as if johnny had been wrong fully imprisoned, and there Is certainly enough in the proof to entitle him to a par don. A petition would be generally signed la Albany. "Did you hear the shooting" was the gen eral inquiry in this city Tuesday morning. Nearly everybody beard six to fifteen shots between twelve and one o'clock. Inquiry revealed the fact that Rev. Father Louis Metayer had been having an experience with burglars. Two men attempted to en ter hie sleeping room in the rear of the Catholic Church by the window, when, heaiing the noise he leveled a shot gun at them from the top of the window and fired. They fled over the Sisters fence, Father Metayer sent several shots after them, two hitting Mr. H. H. Hewitt's residence. In the mean time the Sisters had been awaken ed and going to a window fired a oouple shots, none of which took effect. Albany fa evidently infested by a lot of these tramp burglars, and shot guns should be used gen erally. They will frighten if they do not hit. Died from Blood Poisoning. Thursday of last week, Isaac Hutchins was greasing a saw on the farm af Mr. John Donaca, at .Sweet Home, where he has been county charge for several years, when he accidenta ly pricked his right hand in the pa m, just enough to draw blood. Blood" poisoning set in and Sunday evening he was a corpse. His body was buried on Monday. Mr. Hutchins came to Oregon in about 1S45, and when Linn county was organize.! -as made its -heriff under the term riai 4 ivcr.i-neoL At that time he was a man of prominence in the Va,ley. Afterward strong drink took command of him and he became an inebriate, final .y be ing place! on the. county. His wife has lived in this city for several years, where she has supported herself. She was unable to go to the funera of her husband. Mr. Hutchins was seventy-two years of age. The case is a striking one. Death of Qua Boenleke. Last Friday Mr. Chas. Kiefer received a telegram announcing the death of Mr. Gus Boenicke, at Eliensburgh, W. T., where he has been residing for sometime. Bis wife and two sons have lived in this city, one working in a brewery and tha Other, Albert, being a newsboy on the O Si C I he latter immediately left for Ellens burg.

The following from a Corvallis paper smells of a bonanza bigger than their new school house, if there la anything in it ; "One day last week, while J. Wyatt, who lives about three miles west of this city, waa boring a couple of wells for the purpose of placing pumps therein to raise water for stock purpose, a discovery waa made, which, if it prove to be lasting, will be a great thing for this place. After boring down in one of the well to a debth of about fifteen feet it waa noticed that a terrible smell was arising from the opening where the men were working and upon examining Into the matter P. waa found that a vein of coal had been struck, and that Indications pointed to the finding of a gas well, Another boring waa started about aoo yards from the form er and after going down a little farther in this another coal vein was bored into and the same result was had in the way of gas arising. After boring for awhile workmen were compelled to quit work on account of the gas becoming too strong to work over. The conclusion of Mr. Wyatt is, that a gas well has Seen discovered, and he thinks that future developments will bring to light a big bonanza.

Aa Enemy to Frail. The greatest enemy to fruit raising here and In other place haa been the cod II n moth. How to get rid of the little enemy ha been a great study. At a meeting of the fruit foweu of California at Santa Rosa recently numerous papers were read on the subject Aa the subject is one that should be made a atudy by Linn county farmer wegiye aome of the suggestions made. Prof. Kee, State inspector ot peats, said the greatest success has been met with In a solution of one pound of the arsenical preparations, Paris green and cmdon purple, to 180 gallons of water, but he advocated the use oca solution of whale- oil soap and bisulphate of potash In prefer ence to any of the arsenical preparations, although he acknowledged the efficacy ot the latter, and recommended the use ot the aoap and sulphide In connection with the band. He thought the beat effects could be obtained from three sprayings, during the three stage of the fruit's growth. Prof. '.vickson told of a plant known a the"thy- sianthus Albeus," which is regarded in New Zee and as being a natural trap for catching the oodlln moth. The plant grows rapidly and la covered with blossom,which are said to ho d the moth fast when It pushes Its pro boscis down into the callz of the blossoms. The plant grows freely in California and probably would In Oregon, and had been experimented with extensively ,as a result of which it had been found the blossom waa a trap for catching the moth, but also entraps honey-bees and other Insects. One speaker did not believe any poison was effective ; but this waa disproved. Too much arsenic al sprav, though, ia liable to Injure the fruit. An Albany gentleman says a lot of hens penned In among the trees, making the or chard their home, will kill the pest which has killed so much fruit In Linn county. Com Ceaaetl.

The dazed and absent-minded clerk reached him down a can of baking powder, a can opener and a quart of vinegar. The man irom trie fern mils looked aome what sur prised when he got the can open and softly remarked to himself that he didn't know that they ground oysters so dum fine. But having perfect confidence In the firm he waa dealing with he poured the vinegar in on the powder and ate It with a relish that gener ally comes to a man after he has fasted for a week or two. As he finished putting him self outside of the baking powder he took out his purse, paid for his meal and walked up to the stove, held out hi hands aa If to warm them, but quickly drew them back hind placed them on the pit of his stomach, a toon of wild surprise came over hit face. in feet didn't want to stay on the floor, hi eyes began to reel tn hie head, hie back humped up like a cats, his suspenders broke and then lie tried to go up and kiss the sky- . t .

Editor $ Democrat : An article anoaara tn vour saner that will do injury to the oartie mentioned. I refer to the account ot the difficulty occurring Be tween Mr. Wm. Dougherty and Ur. 1. . Woodle, knowledge of which reaching the Deoutv District Attorney led to the arrest of Mr. Dougherty. In the first place Mr. George Miller made no demand for the poa aeaaton of the stable as the article says. There was no quarrel, and all the force or action on the part of Dr. Woodle was to hold Mr. Dougherty to prevent injury with tne ax, with which the assault waa made by Mr. Dougherty. The rope tying waa done by Mr. McOonnell, and, at the Instance of Dr. Woodle, she untied the rope and let Mr. Dougherty loose. The statement that Mr. Dougherty cut himaelf loose with a knife Is entirely without foundation. The assault with the hatchet and ax was made before the tying waa done. An-Eye WiTxaae. In reference to the above we will aay that our item merely atated that tU account of the affair waa the current report. We were mistaken In saying that Mr. Miller had any thing to do with the demand of the premises, and the axe clinging should have been before the tying. Otherwise it ia our opinion the Democrat's account waa sub- stantlallv correct. By the way It waa the Herald that said Woodle and others did the tying, and also that Dougherty cut himaelf oose. The touching up should have been mutual. In writing up Items like thla a newspaper la bound to make little dUcrep encies,and when thla case cornea up for trial we predict the witnessea also will do so. That is generally the history of trials Eos. Our Boads.
