A Front street merchant, who doesn't be Heve In advertising, was gwying a Celestial tne other day, wnen tne latter turned on him and with a withering smile, said : "Oh, too inucheegin." And he hit the null on the head. O Speaking ol gtn, an oU Albanian goes home daily in the tracks of a rail fence, who, without the inebriating stuff is one of the best of fellows. The idea of selling liquor to such men is simply outrageous. It is worse than kicking a man when he is down. O George Reeve, of Bcntoi county, bought a self -cocking revolver at the Second Hand store Monday, put a sample cartridge in it, went into Wills Gun store a short time afterwards, forgot there was a cartridge in his weapon, and, while snapping the triggei to see how the spring worked, sent a bullet through one of his fingers, which Dr. Mas ton patched up in a satisfactory manner. Another young man in the morning in the same store shot a hole in the wall because he didn't know It was loaded. There are altogether too many 'didn't knows" around to suit the Man About Town and the world at Urge. O Two fights in Albany Monday hut they were such quiet, peaceable, well conducted mills that little disturbance was caused and only five dollars changed hands. O The Man About Town sees that the measles have just struck Salem badly. That city is alwavs behind Albany and fol lows rather than leads. O According to a Portland paper a Salem man does not support his wife and has ruthlessly and shamefully cast her off be cause his "pa" can on!y support one. Such a man should be tarred and feathered, soak ed a year in coal oil, be fed on dynamite for a month and touched off. The M. A. T. says down on the faithless wretches wlio will not at least do their best to support their families. Albany has some. The family needs bolstering up all along the line, for it Is the hope of all good government, it is the power behind the throne O We have several times advocated the abolition of the hideous awnings on First street that make our Western cities look so frontier like, an appearance we arc not en titled to in the Willamette Valley, for we are no longer a frontier community. The M. A. T. is glad to know that Mr Young and Mr Flinn will not disfigure their new blocks with these hideous structures and hopes others will follow their example. Let us be progressive, if it does rain occas ional! v. Death of W. B. Eire. Mr. W. B. Rice died at his home in Al bany last Saturday night, at the age ef about 35 years, of spinal complaint and heart disease. Funeral services were con ducted at the residence at 6:30 Sabbath af ternoon by Rev. E. R. Pritchard, and were largely attended. The remains were taken to Ashland on the night train and buried on Monday beside the father of the deceas ed, who preceded htm about a year ago They were accompanied by relatives, A D Barker and T J Stites, as a committee from the Albany Lodge, A. O. U. W.,of which Mr Rice was a member, and the wife of the former. Mr. Rice came to Albany in about 1865 and filled the position of operator for awhile. The regular u A U agent after awhile helped himself to a car laad of wheat, sold it, and on being discovered was discharged when Mr. Rice was appointed in his place. He filled the position in a very popular manner and with marked ability until the completion of the O. P. R. R. about two years ago, when he accepted a more lucrative position on that road, filling it to the great satisfaction of the manage ment of the road. Mr. Rice was a man of a very ambitious nature. He was noted for his upright, man ly qualities, unimpeachable character and affableness of manner. Everybody liked him. He mode up for a weak frame by his sterling manhood. All over Western Ore gon his face was a familiar one, and will be greatly missed by railroad men, business inea and everybody who came in contract with him either in a business or social way. The loss particularly to his wife and two little children is one that cannot be estimat ed. They with his mother, brother and sis ter have the univeisal sympathy of the people in their great affliction. Needs Stirring Up. The Gazette has done one thing.certainly ; it has caused the I)immykrat,o Albany.to notice the improvements that are going on tn Corvallis. Nutting must have forgot himself. Gazette. What presumption ! The Democrat has always noticed improvements at Corvallis, when it could get any to notice. It really rejoices to be able to mention the present ones,and hopes Corvallis will keep growing until some day it will be as large as Albany now Is, at which time this city promises to ha ye a population of 5000 to 15,000. Wc want to see all of Oregon push ahead ; but when a city gets to dragging along like molasses in the winter, we feel like punch ingit up occasionally, and hence our thrusts at Corvallis and Salem. The Artistic Entertainment. Mr C C Hogue, of Corvallis, who gave an artistic entertainment at the Opera House on Friday evening for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid Saciety was greeted by about a $40 house, which will be a clear gain for the society. Mr. Hogue drew a large num ber of pictures with great rapidity and good skill tor an amateur, producing a ver amusing entertainment. His pictures of A bany men were fair, and could be recoc nized by some ; but the resemblance in any case was not remarkably striking. L E Blain, David Froman and Judge Whitney were portrayed. Benton County Democratic Ticket. Representatives W 13 Smith and Dr Davis. Sheriff Wm Mackcy, Treasurer M S Neugass. School Superintendent J J Bryan. County Commissioners Caleb Davis and S A Logan. Assessor E Skipton. A Good Joke, After the great New York blizzard, the citizens 01 Ulsmark, Dak,, telegraphed to Mayor Hewitt, asking if they could be of any assistance. A good way lo keep out of financial blizzards is to buy your groceries and produce of Uonn bros. You are then protected against high prices and poor goods. You get your moneys worth and splendid treatment. ri'RKKNT KVBNTS. Chief Justice Waite.of the U. S. Supreme Court, died at Washington last r riday.

The figures should have been 45, and we shou'd have used the words fire ilies instead of jack o'lantcrns. The relation now is as follows : Albany, yxjooo 18,000 ; Eugene. 45x24 toSo. In other words one of our lights will give twice as much light as all of Eugene City's combined ! When Al bany docs a thing it does not do it in a one horse style just for the name of it. Any single store light in Albany will be more powerful than the street lights of Eugene, and many single store lights will give more light than the whole of Eugene City com bined ! The idea of the papers of Out citv crowing over its electric lights Is (.imply ri diculous. "Come down." ! UuskIm t ! Foriiythc & Co., of Salem have put in a stcck of buggies, carriages and hacks in the building two doors nortu of tbe Democrat office which they offer for sate on most rea sonable terms. The wood work in these vehicles was carefully selected in the east by Mr. Forsythe himself and shipped to Salem in the piece, and put together and painted them. Each piece was subjected to careful examination. These vehicles arc stronglv put together to suit this climate, the wheefs being carefully boiled in oil. This firm is the onlv one on this coast that ships their work in this wav. Remember the brand, "Forsythe A Co." Reunion of the Hill Family.
