A MAN ABOUT TOWN.
'Die Man About Town It told about three
little boys, who hired a little gun and went
Into a little field near the College and had a
little time shooting at little birds, one day
last week. All of a sudden a ball from the
I fun went crashing through one of the Col "
ege windows coming within a little of
hitting Mrs Pollock In the head and one or
two students. A committee of three big
boys captured the youngsters and took them
to headquarters, where they were relieved of
their shooting Iron.

A very peculiar incident happened on First
Street Friday A prominent real estetc
man, with big feet, was passing stong.when
a large rat, which had been driven from a
tore, rushed across the sidewalk, reaching
a particular point just at the same instant
with one of the big feet of the r. e. man.who
innocently stepped on him, making him cap
tive. Instead of set earning, as a woman
would have done, he very cooly squeezed
the life out of Mr. Rodent.

It is not difficult to solve the reason for
the large attendance at Operas when the

Twenty-one drummers took breakfast at
the Revere House last Friday morning.
The old terror about the advent of the
drummer has entirely passed away. The
drummer is aa innocent fellow compared to
some of oar home voung men, and it is no
longer necessary for them to telegraph
ahead : "tie up your girls we re coming.
O
During the rendition of "Nanon" Friday
night Jeannie Winston and Miss Manfred
had a regular giggling match ; but what it
was all about no one could tell. Perhaps
they were tickled about the way two or
three of the females in the troup went into
a saloon during the day and ginned them
selves up in a glorious manner.
O
By the way there is an ordinance against
selling liquor to women the same as to
minors and habitual drunkards and on Sun
day ; but, as in those cases, the offense
could probably neyer be proven any more
than Salvation Army disturbances.
Everybody Pleased.
Mr. The. Nast, the run of qwaioa, who
pat down Boss Tweed. Ben Butler and num
erous other celebrities, with his fanny carte
a tares in Harper' Weekly, exhibited in this
city Wednesday evening to about three hun
dred people. He gave one of the most is
-teresting entertainments it has ever been the
privilege of Albany people to attend. Among
other rapid and correct pieces of work were
those of a caricatare ef Ben Bn tier, which he
drew in just "forty seconds, and a winter
scene in oil , in three minutes. A cloudy
looking oil painting proved to be a fine pic
ture of Niagara Falls on being tamed ove?.
Mr. Nest's remarks, like his pictures, were
sometimes amusing.

Allowing Minor Around.
Mr. Hale Backensto, proprietor of the
"Office" was arrested last Tuesday for vio
lating Sec. to of Ordinance 156, by allow
ing male minors to loiter around and fre
quent his place of business. The case was
called for 1 o'clock Wednesday ; but was
adjourned to 2 p. m. yesterday. If proven it
is an offense that should be punished, and
the dty Council should at once elect City
Attorney whose business It will be A at-
tend to such cases, there being none now.
The fine for the offense is not less than fifty
nor more than one hundred dollars. A
Democrat man is told that the evidence
in this case is strong.
A Sprightly Play.
A large audience was present at the ren .
ditlon of Nanon by the Pyke Opera Co. last
Friday evening. Miss Manfred was the
star of the play. Jeannie Winston appeared
but few times and then failed to show what
there was to her voice. Louis DeLang as
the Marquis de Marsillac was quite immense
ind Mr. Pyke was "too sweet for anything"
in his part. The play was heartily enjoyed,
for their was as much to see as to hear. As
some one has said, though, there is nothing
very elevating about many of our operas ex
cept the women's heels.
Burglary.
"
On Thursday evening of last week about
9:30 o'clock when the senior editor of the
Democrat and his wife went home they
found a bold, bad burglar in their heuse,pre
paring to help himself to valuables generally,
including eatables and a large mint of mon
ey which all editors have hid away in their
pantries ; fortunately he had only just
reached the pantry when alarmed by their
approach, and quickly made his escape. He
had effected an entrance by a rear door. If
he will come to this office and leave his card
we will send him the Democrat a year free.

The
Encampment of the G. A R
A Skirmish.
There was some kind of a "rscket" at the
Salvation Army barracks Saturday night,
and Monday several young men were ar
rested on divers charges In connection with
the affair. Like all Salvation Army dis
turbances the circumstances are a mass of
jumble, and this leads us to remark that
boys should not go to the barracks for the
purpose of making disturbances, and, on the
other hand, if the soldiers In the army would
use a little dignity and not stoop to the level
of the disturbers there would be less occas
ion for calling on our Courts of Justice every
few days for vengeance on the enemy.
People who do not like the style of the Sal
vation Army should stay away, or keep
their peace ; and the S. A , which Is built
up by exciting circumstances, should use a
little judgment, and, before it puts the
county to a large expense, know what it can
prove before it oegins proceedings.
Case No. 1. State agt Peter Montgom
ery. R L Dorrls, Justice ; L 11 Montanye,
for prosecution ; lion W R Bllyeu, lion N
H Humphrey and D R N Blackburn, for
defendant ; Mr Mi'.ler.Clav Marshal, Henry
Tyler, F M Wcstfall and O T Porter, Jury
men. The defendant was accused of block
ading the door of the barracks as a member
of theS. A. was going for a police officer.
He also refused to stand during a service of
song. Verdict not guilty.
Oase No. a. State agt Burr Sloan. As-

Tuosdav afternoon Same Justice and At
torneys, another jury. Verdict, not guilty.
All the other cases were dismissed on
motion of the prosecution.
One of the members of the Army has be
come "tired," we understand, and will go to
work. A good resolution.
Case No. 3. State agt Capt Wade. Be
fore J uxtice Dorris. In order to get even
with the Armv the "boys" filed a complaint
against Captain Wade for assault. The
Captain was arrested, plead guilty and wan
fined $5 and costs. He paid the fine and
was discharged.
It is to be hoped the young men of Al
bany will keep out of the ha r racks, and the
barracks men out of our Justice Courts, as
the county has to pay for the whistle, often
unnecessarily.
Will Be Hearst From.
Eastern people have gotten pretty thor
oughly tired of cold weather this winter, and
as a result many will swarm into our milder
climate the coming year. In nearly all
cases before they shall have reached the
Willamette Valley some one will tell them
about Albany, with its railroad prospectant
fine water power and great natural advan
tages ; as well as about the way it has been
growing. If we grow as fast in 18SS as dur
mil 1997 we will do well ; but there is a
T pointing to the fact that we will do bet
ter. Our progress will be governed entirely
by tue amount of building done. We are
full now, and only await more houses for
more people. They will be built. Little
cottages and big cottages are already being
planned, and our brick kilns will not be
able to meet t he demands of the year. Right

plans and orders for lumber.a there will be
a rush. A few years ago First Street was
composed of two rows of one story shells
with awnings about as large as the buildings.
Now these are vanishing, and already there
are over thirty-five brick stores along the
street. I his year the number will be in
creased several. It is now the arrangement
to put bricks up on Judge Stratum's lots, the
Cowan x Cusick corner, Mr. O Toole s lots
near tne Kus Mouse, and by roshay st
Mason and W. C. Tweedale on the lots now
occupied by Joseph Webber and Mr. Twee
date. Second Street promises to be heard
from also. Mr. Allen's Electric light system
will be a ten stroke for the city. The Dem
ocrat will continue to appeal for induce
ments for factories. Eastern capital must
be counted in this matter. It might be a
good resolution during the year to purpose
to act more and talk less, yet It takes some
talking to produce action. Albany will be
heard from.

A new fashion In connection with evening
dress for men which may have unpleasant
results has originated In Paris. Instead of
i mii v in.' a handkerchief tucked into the vest
of his dress suit, the correct young Parisian
now conceals this article In one of the
sleeves of his cost. To this end the sleeves
arc made larger.
The fact that men are wearing red neck
scarfs and bright linings to their coat-sleeves,
and that tailors put a bright piece of V-shap-
od silk in the back of the waistband of
trousers, leads a Cincinnati philosopher to
argue that men are drifting back to the days
of "blue silk coats, yellow vests, green knee
hreeehes and Luc collars."
A husband In Linn county is so ait-fired
jealous that he has petitioned for a divorce
just because his wife occasionally sits on the
hired man's knee ! If this husband can get
a separation grounded on such Imposition
on the poor, tired, fired hired man, we want
the J udge of the divorce court to go to Salem
next session of the legislature and engineer
a bill through for the relief of the oppressed
workingmcn. Long Creek haglt.
Light weight babies have been attracting
considerable attention throughout the coun
try. Georgia now takes up the other ex
treme, the Savannah Ntw setting this par
agraph afloat : "A colored woman,the wife
of Willis Ellis, of Albany, gave birth the
other day to twin boys. They are said to
have weighed the enormous amount of
thirty-seven pounds, one turning the scales
at twenty pounds,the other at seventeen,the
heaviest babes ever known. Mother and
children are doing well."
A Boston Church recently gave two en
tertainments for raising money of about as
novel a nature as It ts evet the painful duty
of the newspaper to record. Or the first
evening several young men pieced a bed
quilt in the old fashioned way, and on the
but evening ten young ladles, with ten saws
and bucks sawed half a cord of wood. An
admission fee was charged, and the attend
ance each evening wa Immense. If the
Albanv Y. W. C. T. U. can surpass these
in their anticipated novel entertainments
they will do well.
The two Roseburg papers are firing at

The following from the East Portland
1'achft will show how Stinit, the bilk, I
been reforming since he left Albany : "A.
Stinit brought suit before Justice Bullock to
recover $ from Paul Fuhr.Grattoa, Ver
non and Webber. He claimed to have lost
$100 at their gambling house in Portland
Justice Bullock rendered a deci-don giving
the plaintlfJ $20. Defendant produced in
the trial a receipt tor $10, signed by Mm it
It was also stated in the receipt that he
(Stinit) had lost $5 in gambling at the place
0! defendants. Justice Bullock, I he re tore
decided the plaintiff was entitled to $ so,
double the amount called for by the receipt.
It seems now that gam olers make everyone
who gambles at their place sign just such a
receipt, with the amount blank, which is
filled out before they leave.
We have been troubled about the stow
sales of wheat in the Valley. In Crook
county it is wool, and they have it bad ac
cording to the following from the Ochoce
Review : The dull times which we predict
ed some months ago are certainly upon us.
Business of every kind seems to be on the
standstill. The merchants of Prineville re
port this to have been the dullest month in
trade they have ever known. And there
seems to be little prospect for a revival of
business for some months to come. A
large portion of last year's crop of wool has
not yet been sold, hence the money which
should have been derived from that source
is not in circulation, and the year of a presi
dential election is usually a dull one for busl
nets, so without some unnatural cause, such
as the building of a railroad which we hope
and expect will be done this season, we can
not expect a revival of good times In this
locality for some months to come.
Three years ago Mrs H Copperfield and
husband,now living in Milton, were residents
of a small town in Iowa. One afternoon In
July, 1884, Mrs copperheid was engaged
in kneading dough for a "hatch" of bread
and having a gold ring upon one of her flng
ers which interfered with her work, she put
her finger in her mouth and pulled the ring
off with her teeth,as we have often seen wo
men do ; but the ring slipped down her
throat and she was suddenly taken with
choking spasms. Remedies were applied
for her relief and for the recovery of the
ring, which was highly prized, but it was
not recovered. Soon after this incident the
family came West,and located near Mjlton.
On Wednesday last Mr. Copperfleld killed a
couple of chickens, ef which he has several
hundred, and Mrs C. while dissectine one
of the fowls, noticed a bright looking object
among the entrails. She picked it up, when,
lo and behold, it was her long lost ring a
little worn, to be sure, but the identical cir
clet with her name engraved on the inner
surface. And, stranger still, small particles
of deugh still adhered to the inside of the
ring. Milton Eagle.

to-day. Before yesterday afternoon both
were living. Until then Mrs. Alvsh W.
Briggs, postmistress, was one of the happiest
women In the city. Seventeen yesrt sgo she

Saw Framcisoo, Feb. 5. The situation
hers may be best understood from compar
ison. San Frsndsco now consumes for
household purposes, gas, steamers, tug
boats and stationary steam engines, shout
4000 tons of coal s day, or uooo tons per
month. The consumption has largely in
creased within two years. The city went in
January with very little stock on hand. She
received from sll sources in lanuarv ol&ii f
tone ; a deficiency of 26158 tons. Thereis I
considerable coal afloat from Australia and
Osast Britain, but It ia In salting shipsand it
will be sixty days before the bulk reaches
us. Many people sre therefore obliged to
bum wood, and will be obliged to, so it
seems during at least two months. Sound
dry oak wood can be bought at $loto (is,
per cord, and other woods in proportion.

Washington, Feb. 6, Senator Stan
ford, of California, has written the following
letter to a constituent, who asked him far
his reasons for voting for the confirmation
of Mr. Lamar as justice of the United Stales
Supreme Court :
Washington, Feb. 6, 18S8.
Your letter, asking my reasons for rating
for Lamar, is received. I voted tor him
because I considered him one of the bast
men in the South ; for he is, in my judg
mem, a broad, liberal-minded man, of 1
great deal sf learning. He was protease
of law in a university in Mississippi, and I
think he is a thoroughly converted Unionist
and do not think it wise to reject anyone on
the ground alone tint he was engaged In
the late rebellion. I think that we want to
be one people politically and socially
General Grant expressed the idea when he
said: "Let us have peace." Lamar's loy
alt v and integrity to the Union was passed
on most conclusively when both houses of
Congress provided for the succession to the
Presidency and made him an heir only
tew removes from the Presidency. 1 am
reluctant to find myself not in harmony
with all the republican senators, but it was
a case, so far as my action was concerned
entirely for my own judgment and con
science, and i voted accordingly. Kespect
fully yours, Lkland Stanford,
