LOCAL RECORD.
Sad Si u im;. Mr. Win. Meoic, post
master nt Roaeburg wai in receipt of i
letter from Princville this week informing
him of the suicide of Charles M. Stevcna,
some forty miles from Paisley, Lake
countv, on Mav ist. It appears that Mr
Stephens was traveling and fell in with
some immigrants and remained with them
two days. He had evidently been drink
ing verv heavily and being without liquor
on the second day he displayed symptoms
of derangement. On the morning of the
third day at about four o'clock he arose to
go out and look after his horse, returning
to bed, he had partly covered himself with
the bedclothes )cn he shot himself
through the head with a pistol He lived
eight hours unconscious all the time. On
his body were found $514 In money, a note
for $300, and he also had a horse and
buggy. From the papers discovered, it
was found that he was a former resident
of Roseburg, and hence this letter to the
K (master. Mr. Stephens was raised In
uglas county and was a brother of Mrs.
W. r. Owens of this city, and was well
known throughout the county, and his
tragic death is greatly deplored. ftrview.
Pioneers Pioneer readers of the Dem
ocrat will please take notice of the fol
lowing taken from the Crawfordsville cor
respondence in the Lebanon Express of last
week : "The Association formed here
last fall, known as the Linn County Pion
eers, will meet here for a picnic the .7th of
June, holding over till the 30th. The citi
aens of this place will do all in their power
to make it a success. It would be well for
the old pioneers to begin to patch their tents,
grease tneir frying pans and feed up the old
oxen, so as to be on hand. In a few more
years pioneer meetings will be a thing of
the past. We hope there will be a large
number here at that time ; there were
about 45 members enrolled here last fall,
that being the first meeting aud late in the
fall, there was not a very good 'turnout.'
Hanv one in the county wishes their name
enrolled before the picnic, they can have it
attended to by writing to R. Glass, Presi
dent, or Rev. R. Robe, Secretary. In writ
ing give name, age, and date of crossing
the plains. Further particulars will be
given from UasSJte time as the committees
make the arrangements." This is an as
sociation our old citizens should labor to
build up.
Nobody's Foot.. Mr. Sol. Cook who
lives In the Cascade foothills above Silver
ton, has a hog that is nobody's fool. He
also has a cow tuat is in cahoots with the
hog in the milk business. Happening out
in a pasture in which hogs and cattle were
running together one day last week, Mr.
Cook observed a yearling shoat serenely
sucking a milch cow. Approaching nearer
he watched the proceeding with consider
able interest, the cow appearing to submit
to the matter with great complacency.
I low the hog learned the trick, is a mystery ;
certain it is that had a soft thing on the lac
teal fount. Hereafter, the hog and cow
will occupy separate lots. iTverton Af-

Would Marry or Die. A few days
ef
ago a young man hired a team at Schmcer's
livery stable with which to go toCorvallis.
We understand he secured a mariiagc li
cense, and just before leaving the stable re
marked to a gentleman standing near that
he loved a young lady at Corvallis, and
that he wi -. going there and marry her or
die. As she had seven big brothers he con
sidered the undertaking a desperate one.
He went and several hours afterwards Mr.
S. received a telegram to go to that city at
once. He did so and found the young man
under arrest. He brought his team home
himself. There was no wedding and no one
died.

A Will Case. The cost of the Chris
man will case, recently decided in the
supreme court, on appeal from Lane county
was about $10,000, including attorney's
fees. The attorney's fees on the side of
the will were about $4,000. If the con
testents paid as much for attorney's fees
the other costs must have been $3000.
There was about $39,000 of the estate left
after paying the costs, to divide as the will
directed, the total amount having been
about $49,000.
Brocoht a Flao Back Saturday th
Albaoy delegates to the State W. C. T. U.
returned from Kugene with reports of a very
successful meeting, these being about titty
delegates present. They brought with them
a beautiful flag, six by twelve feet ia size,
with a long white ribbon attached to the.
handsome 1 h .ft, bcariog this self explanitory
inscription : "Linn couoty, Oregon. llao-
ner Prohibition County, 18J7 from State
W. C. T IJ.'' An accoaot of the preseota
tion of the same is given in another column.
All speak id very high terms of the treat
ment received nt the hands of the hospitable
people of Kageoe.
The Laziiwt. Mr. Henry Mcllwain has
shown us a Rockford, III., paper, in which
a correspondent says the Oregon farmers are
the liziest in the world, that when apples
were $15 a box they would save some of
them ; bat with tbem at $5 a box they al
low them to rot. This is a fair samppj of the
Eastern liar. At f 1 a box last year the
farmers generally at least in this part of Ore
gon saved their apples. There are lazy
farmers here as elsewhere ; but it is not the
rule, and if the Illinois man will come out
here we will put an extra head on him.
Hops. Mr. Parley McKnight, who came
in from Lebanon Saturday informs us
tfiat hops tirough the county never looked
better, and the prospects for a big crop are
fine. In fact everything is fairly growing
with a bound, wheat, oats, barley, fruit and
the Democrat's subscription list.
Why. A reader of the Democrat wants
to know why it is not the correct thing to
say Mr. Mary Smith where the woman
"wears the breeches," as it '.vere, if it is pro
per to say Mrs. John 8mith,where the gen
tleman is at the head of affairs, and, really,
we give it up.

A GoonMovK. A petltiou is being clr
culated In this city and generally signed
addressed to the management of the O
ORI Co., asking that the Lebanon branch
of that road be extended to Sodaville
thereby offering to Valley people means of
reaching that Increasingly popular summer
resort without haying to resort to stages
and animal conveyances. The movement
is one it Is to be hoped will prove success
ful, and we arc satisfied that at least during
the summer months it would more than
double the business of this branch road
Modavitle has advantages for becoming one
of the best places of resort in the State, and
It only needs this road to place it in front
The 4 m. What shall we do on the 4th
of July, that is the question. The next
thing to a home celebration, and this seems
to be the off year, would beau excursion to
Vaquina Bay. We need more ocean oxone,
and hence this would he the proper dlrcc
t ion in which to travel. Yesterday a Dkm
our at man was talking with Mr. Stewart,
of the Oreston Pacific, and he stated that
the Company would be clPvl to make such
an excursion if It is what we want. He
thinks perhaps the excursion could be
made for something like $3, at which we
predict it would take a long train to carry
us. 1 he mutter is worth agitating.
One in Oregon. A few days ago an
article in the Orrci on "Uuantrll's Raid
on Lawrence, Kan.," during the rebellion,
tatcd that all of Quantril's band but two
were now residing in Missouri, and gave
the residence of those two. Now as a mat
ter of fact there is another member of
that celebrated band residing in Linn coun-
v, being Mr. Tim Kel'ey, who lives near
ellerson. If the WrtmmM will conier
with Mr. Fred Egert, of its city, who was
a clerk In Lawrence at the time and came
near being relieved of his breath, it will be
able to verify this fact, as Mr. Fgert has
talked with Tim on the subject and Is fa
miliar with his part in the raid.
Wkduinu at the Brick Yard. Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock Mr. Charles
ierry, son of John Bern , and Miss Jennie
Ricks, both of this county, were united la
marriage, Geo. Humphrey, Ksq., perform
ing the ceremony in the presence of a large
number of friends.some of whom had been
conveyed with considerable style on a citv
ruck, with a bell, to the scene of the wed
ding, while others walked. It was report
ed as passing off in good shape, leaving
Charley the happiest fellow in Linn coun
ty.
A Bio Move. One of the heaviest pieces
of drav work ever done In Albany was per
formed a few days ago by Crosse n St Allen
who moved N H Allen's new engine from
the depot to the headquarters of his elec
tric light system. The boiler and engine
weighing about 22,000 pounds, the boiler
alone weighing 10,000 pounds. It is six
teen feet long and over five in diameter.
The engine U a 60 horse power. The work
of moving these large pieces of machinery
was successfully performed without any
mishap, and we plead guilty of dereliction
of duty in not mentioning the fact before.
A Wheat Pool. -Tuesday Mr. M C
Chambers, of East Albany precinct, and
several of his neighbors, made up a pool of
7,000 bushels of No. 1 wheat stored in the
Farmers' Warehouse, at this city, and in
the afternoon opened bids on the same.
Mr. George Simpson's bid was 65 cents
and he received the tot. The highest bid
by Portland men was 63 cents, but Mr.
Simpson telle a Democrat man that the
Pacific Coast market justifies what he paid
in large sales. Farmers who can get this
price will probably do well to sell, accepting
the present indications as a guide.
A Delivery Bisinevs. Mr. Archie
Blackburn has sold his delivery outfit in
this city to Mr George Warren, recently of
Brownsville Precinct, who will take charge
of the same the first of next month. Mr.
Warren is a reliable, steady gentleman, a
former reside.it of the city, and my he de
pended on to do prompt work.
$5100 Here. -The Albany Farmers' and
Merchants' Insurance Co. had $5100
placed in Goidcndale at the time of the re
cent fire, on part of which it will lose.
Considerable of the amount was reinsured
in other Companies, so that the loss will not
be great. Mr Elder kin is now in the Ter
ritory and will probably adjust the loss in a
few days, until which the amount of th
loss can net be ascertained.
Y. W.C. T. U. ENTERTAISMENT.-The
young ladies of this I'nion will give one of
Haves, lioadlev and other celebrities, and
was having a fine time.
Dusty. -The dust has begun to fly
through the city, and a general sprinkle
would not hurt things. People who buy
their groceries of Conn Bros., though, hard
ly notice the presence of this unwelcome
stuff. Fresh, pure goods at bottom prices
make us forget the il s of life. If you ever
feel despondent call on Conn Bros, and the
load will be lifted.
Correct. The Eugene Guard says the
clerk's office in this county has been kept
by Mr, Galbraith in as good condition as
any in the state. Better than in nineteen
out of twenty counties. Mr. G. is as com
petent a clerk as there is in the state with
out any exception.
J. J. D. Mr. Dubuille's harness and sad
die shop will now be found on Broadalbin
street, just north of Conrad Meyers, where
he has a stock of harness, single and
double, saddles, and everything kept in the
very best shops, and second to none in the
state. Do not forget the place.
Speaking at Brownsville. Hens. J.
K. Weatherford and W. R. Bilyeu will
speak at Brownsville on next Saturday at
one o'clock p. m. Let everybody in that
section turn odfend hear these gentlemen
on the tariff reform question.
Wood Wanted. Forty cords of wood,
(ash, oak, and large fir) on subcription to
the Democrat. Let our triends who de
sire to furnish wood on subscription bring
on their wood at once.
Marriage at Tangent. On Monday
evening, May 14th, at the residence of and
by Rev P A Moses, Mr. A. Bither, of
Nhedd, and Miss Nellie Mathews, former
ly of Albany ,-were united in marriage.
Born. To the wife of Elsey Archibald,
on the 1 ith inst., a boy.
Tothe wife of M. N. Keck, on the 10th
mat., a girl.
Considerable. On asking a Miller's
man the news in his locality a Democrat
man was told there had been nothing
going on except a man had threatened to
kill him on his own property : but didn't
do it, No arrests were made.
Received $2000. Mrs W B Rice, of
thi6 city has received a check for $2000 in
payment for beneficiary certificate held by
her late husband, W B Rice, in the order
of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.

KVKVtNO SESSION.
After music, Mrs. Driggs delivered an
address on "Scientific Temperance," which
was very Interesting-. ajhe Illustrated with
charts.
After this came the presentation of the
tlag which was presented to Linn county
delegates by Rev. Wire, of Eugene. In
neat and fluent speech. After which Mrs
T. J. Wilson received the banner.
We were unable to obtain a copy of his
speech and did not take notes, hence can
not report It. Mrs. Wilson's acceptance
brought down the house. 1 lere it Is :
It was my fortune last fall to be present
at the National Convention in Nashville
Ten 11 ,when the beautiful banners were pre
sented to -the States who had made the
largest per cent In increase of membership
during the year, and as the ladles were
called forward almost without a moments
warning to present and receive the bcauti
ful gifts In the presence of an Immense au
dlence.I blessed my lucky stars that Oregon
would receive no such recognition ! And
last summer and fall we so earnestly long
ed for the success of the amendment, that
we honestly hoped some other county
would receive this beautiful gift. But slace
it bus fallen to us it is with pleasure and
tride I receive it from you In the name of
dear old Linn. And will you pardon me if
I take the opportunity to say why in my
opinion Linn county voted two to one for
Prohibition.
Was It because wc were well organised
Yes.
Was it because all worked together with
such energy that by and by the current was
almost irresistable f Yes.
Was it because almost every minister in
Linn county found time to ride miles In the,
i
dust and heat to address school house audi
enccs f 1 es.
Was it because our singers (otherwise
called the Linn county mob) took time to
accompany our speakers and sing the (Jos
pel of Prohibition t Yes.
Was It because our county papers were
all in line for Prohibition ?' Yes. 1
Was it because we had more Woman's
Christian Temperance Unions in our coun
ty than any other county in the State, and
that they neyer failed to stand in the front
ranks and lead, or stand behind and push
as seemed best ? Yes.
But underlying it all was the christian
sentiment of Linn county. If I am not
mistaken there is a larger proportion of
church members in our county than in any
other of the State. My faith in the success
of temperance work Is founded on my
faith in the success of Christ's cause on
earth. My faith in the Woman's Christian
Temperance I'nion is founded on our faith
that to uplift humanity we must draw
their, near to God. There i no other way
by which a man is brought to realise the
necessity that is laid on him to make the
best of himself, or the responsibility that
rests on him as his brothers keeper, but by
being filled with the Spirit of the Lord
Jesus.
When the men and women of Oregon
have the Christ Spirit they will organize
and pray and sing and talk ; they will
count it an honor and privilege to stand for
Prohibition.
And since Multnomah would not have
this beautiful gift, and Lane co aid not get
It. and since by the skin of our teeth we got
ahead of Crook, I accept this flag from the
Woman's Christian Temperance Cnion in
behalf of our county with an honest pride
in the manhood of o'.d Linn who polled so
good a vote last November, and in their
name I pledge you better vote next time.
An while the demoralization of defeat is
hardly overcome it takes no prophetic sweep
of vision to see in the not distant future
such an arousing of the conscience and
righteous wrath of Oregon's manhood
against this low defying trarBc, that men
who last fall were too busy shall find time
for work ; that those who were too poor
shall go down in their pockets for more
than a nickle ; the conservatism of much of
the womanhood of our State will be swal
lowed up in their fervor ; politicians will
make haste to show their col ws a mayhap
it will be a white ribbon -and altogether
such a current of sentiment shall be set in
motion all over our own State that even
Multnomah's editorial sanctums shall hens
the rush and feel the swell and God's ban
ner over us shall be love.
FRIDAY MORN I KG.
After devotional exercises of univetsal
interest, the convention proceeded to the
election of officers 1 Mrs. Anna R. Riggs,
was again unanimously elected President
Mrs. Henrietta Brown, Cor. Secretary ;
Mr. A. R. Robb, Rec. Secretary ; Miss
Elizabeth Irvine, Treasurer. A full corps
of Superintendents was nominated and
elected.
TheSupt. of Press Work sent report,
which was read by the Secretary.
The following plan of work was adopted :
PLAN OK WORK.
We your committee on Plan of Work
submit the following :
1st. That In accordance with the plan
of organization of our National I'nion, we
continue to urge the organization of Unions
by districts and counties.
2nd. As our Evangelistic Department
is the corner stone of W. 0. T. work , bind
ing and holding the whole together, we
especially urge our Uuions to use their
best endeavors in making the efforts of
those engaged in this work effectual, and
that the Unions co-opetate in placing in
the field a reliable Gospel Temperance
worker ; that we pledge ourselves to take
this speaker and do all we can to make
the work effective and self-supporting.
3rd. That our local Superintendents of
Scientific Temperance Instruction, be vigi
lant in their effoits to see that directions
and teachers do their whole duty in in
structing the youth of our State according !
to law, and that we secure the amendment
to this law affixing a penalty for the viola
tion of the same.
4th. As it is evident the friends of the
liquor traffic will endavor to secure the
passage of a high license law, at the next
session of our legislature, therefore, we rec
ommend that our Unions circulate peti
tions asking our Legislators to give us
Statutory Prohibition.
5th. Whereas, It is the duty of the
White Ribbon women of Oregon, to ac
quaint themselves with the argement
which compels our leaders to work for
franchise, therefore we recommend that
the Superintendent of Literature be au
thorized to correspond with Unions and
suggest the best literature en the subject
and urge its careful consideration.
6th. That we are much gratified with
the progress made in the establisment of
the Industrial Home In Portland and
earnestly recommend our local Unions to
devise ways and means for raising funds
for its support. Also to carry it in prayer
to Him who said "For ye have the power
with you always and whensoever ye will,
ye may do them good."
7th. As Mrs. Andrews of the National
Union has selected and published a list of
books for the Local Unions, and as our
President has suggested that we give
special attention to parts of that course, we
recommend that during the year our Un
ions purchase, read and loan the follow
ing books : "Hygiene in the Home," "Our
Country," "Science of Politics," "Duties of
Women" and "Better Not."
8th. That we as house-keepers and
home-workers feel the necessity of more
hygiene knowledge on the part of the
house-keepers, and recommend that these
matters be thoroughly discussed at meet-
Ings arranged for that purpose. We espec
laity press this subject upon mothers who
need special know ledge to enable them to
train their daughters in household econ
omy, and dignify labor.

A Nice Kntrrtalswe t.
I he literary and social entertainment
given at the college chapel Friday evening
was one of the most interesting we have
ever attended at that place, and conferred
great credit on the faculty and students.
The recitals from hakspeare particularly
were of a high order and of a nature to
give character to the program. Without
specifying particularly the meritorij.ia
parts of the program we give it ciuirc
though much of it deserved special men
tion. The college is tn a tloiirisning con
dition, and the entertainment given by the
two literary societies is no small evidence
of it: Chorus "Sailing;" declamation bv
Kdward Blodnett--".Aslecp at the Switch;'
declamation in German by Carley lex
Faderland; vocal solo by Miss Minnie
Van Horn; recital "Quarrel of Brutus
and Cassuis " bv Misses Ina Robertson and
Annie Flinn; chorus-"Fairest Lily of the
Vale;" declamation in Latin by Collins
Etkins "Cicero against Catiline;" recital
of Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" bv Mi dred
Burmestcr, Lena Marshall, Vel Irvine,
Vesta Mason and Lena Gray; piano solo
by Prof. Lee; "Excelslnr" by Misses Esther
Marshall and Vesta Mason and Messrs.
Cowan and Cannon; orchestra waltz,
Messrs. Klkins Simons and Lee and Miss
Ina Robettson; (encored.) Recital
"Casket scene In the Merchant of Venice"
bv Miss Elora Mftson, Miss Van Horn,
Miss Mary Reed and Miss Helen Craw
ford; chorus "Sieighing Glee;" declama
tion by Louis Lee "Blue Beard ;" chorus
"Dearest Maiden." The affair closed
with a very sociable social.
