We have just received a finely gotten up report of the district institute held at Ilrownsville on May it. Owing to an absolute lack of pace and a crowding of matter we are un able te give the report in full, much a we regret it Mr. Curl wan made chairman in the absence of the regular chairman The proceeding were of a very Instate tlve, as well as interesting nature. The topics of teachers' wages, methods of teaching geography, spelling, U. S. history, physiology, the matter of underbidding by teachers for schools, and the new sc tool laws, were ably handled. The following teachers were present and generally par ticipated in the discussion: L M Curl, Scio; C S Hunt, Lebanon; Mrs Arzalia Hunt, Lebanon; Miss Hattie Long.Browns vllle; Mr J M Williams, Halscv; Mr I I Cable, Brownsville; K M Mitchell, Spicer; I H Vanwlnkle, Halscv; Hattie E Archi bald, Brownsville; H Roke, Miss Bertie Brandric, Sweet Home; Z T Truelove, Tall man; A J Shank; Crawfordsville, H W Herron, Tangent; B A Childers, Browns ville. A Paul Fight. Mr. Butler, the Port land pugilistic barber, and Mr. Bellinger, of California, are In the city making ar rangements tor some kind of a prize right, which it is currently reported will occur Friday evening. Some say it Is for points and will bepuhllc,others that it will bewith soft glovesMarquU of Queensburv rules. Like most of such contests perhaps a hip podroming affair, though this is only a surmise. Mr. Butler is very dark and tall; Mr. Bellinger is of medium heig.it and light comnlexioned. Albany is not a prize fighting city, and if the affair is not carried on in a very becoming manner there is liable to be trouble. P. S, A hall has been rented, the Opera House, and great big, soft gloves are to be used, and only a dollar asked to tee the show.

That people who think news papers have their coffers filled with twen ties just preceding Oregon elections don't know anything about the matter. That cherry thieves are already prcving on the llmbs'of trees. Tom Reed. This most original and out spoken genius, who resides in Benton county about ten ml'es west of here, was in the city yesterday, and made the echoes roll from street to street Uncle Tom has given nearly half a dozen large farms to his sons and has a thousand or two thous sand acres left. Not much style to him.he cuts deep into those who have the disposi tion to dress even uccently well. Unly a dav or two after the writer came to Oregon he 'lashed him furiously for having a white shirt and Pnnce Albert on. Hut L nele Tom is one of the men it takes to make up the world, and is a character in his way, with a big heart, when you get the debris way from it. Is the Jail. Jas. Morgan, the man who stole the money from Hoffman Sc Pfeiffer a year and a half ago, as mentioned in a recent issue of the Democrat, was brought to this city Tuesday evening and to-d ty was examined and held under $500 bonds to await the grand jury, which he could not furnish. He confessed to com mitting the crime, and will go to the peni tentiiry probably without a trial. As he wanted to die once this will be next thing to it. A CiRiot Card. A man name Louis Loretz pub'ishes the following rather curi ous card in the Eugene City Gurd : "In 1870 on one Sunday night Mr I D Driver in the Methodist church in the city of Portland, Or.,assisted in raising'money for the purpose of bringing Chinamen into this Ktate and he frenuentlv stated in public and in private that one Chinese soul was worth ; more than one hundred while souls. To Threshers. Mr. Crain has a new kind of thresher and seperator, built on new principles, which he will show by trial on Decoration day in this city. Farmers and threshers are invited to attend this trial and satisfy themse.ves of its superiority over other machines. Trial at 2 o'clock near the old foundry. Old machines changed into this ne'w kind at small expense. '1 he Y's.

The average small boy is happiest now when he has a scrawny, ugly looking crawfish at the end of a stick, se cured after a still hunt along the banks of the ditches. It takes a smalt matter to make a boys blood splash and surge along the canals of his body, and it he would a a e- -a s i .

The Misses Howard, now on Broadalbin street, just north of Conrad Meyers, have just receiy- ed an elegant stock of millinery goods direct from New York, which the public Is invited to call and inspect. Taxes. The city and school taxes rush on one right at the heels of the county taxes, making a twenty-four mill tax to pay altogether within a few months, but this is much less than in almost any other city in Oregon of the size of Albany. Coming Back. A. B. Paxton. the pho tographer, who left this city for the East some three or four years ago, will arrive here in a few days and go into the photog raphic business with Mr. J. G. Crawford. Mr. Paxton will bring with him many new appliances and a thorough knowledge of the latest and improved methods used in his profession, among those that of taking pictures at night time. It Pays. A lady lost a wrap in the country, advertised for it in the Democrat and Saturday It was left at the place re quested in the ad. Another one lost a breast pin, advertised it in this paper, and a few minutes after the paper came out ound it in her bedroom.

II I HI Hts Old Trick.- Upto Hts Old Tricks Te were in hopes when Mack Montelth left Albany for the mouth of the Columbia he would quit an old habit of his ; but the following from the Daily Piometr of Astoria shows that he 1 up to hts old tricks : "Mack Montelth is out with another of his famous fish stories. This time It Is about a porpoise and a sal mon. Mack says that one night last week, when he was walking along the seashore near llwaeo. sinirinir 'The flowers that bloom in the spring,' he suddenly discov ered quite a commotion in the water about 20 leagues distant at sea. lie sat down up on a plush covered sawlog and watched the proceedings. The porpoise was chasing a salmon toward shore, and when near the shore the salmon gave a mighty leap and fell in Mack's arms, who secured It, brought it down to the store and weighed it. M. ck says it weighed yd pounds. The above story was the told confidently to his many admiring friends, who opened their mouths with wonder at the happy faculty Mack has of telling a tish story." Bring it Here. We learn that the Willamette Packing company of Albany, have erected a large building, put In ma chinery and have now a large force en gaged in making cans for the coming sea son of fruit. They have already fifteen tons of tin and more than a dozen hands are employed in making the cans and otherwise getting ready for the summer and fall fruit. They arc using a fourteen- horse power engine and will engage about fifty hands during the season, snu put up not less than iou,ooo cans, or 5000 cases. Now why cannot Lebanon form a joint stock company for the same purpose; the fruit that annually rots on the ground and otherwise goes to waste in and around Leb anon, would create an immense business give employment to idlers, and bring a larve revenue to our town. Lebanon has natural advantages oyer Albany In this business. Express. By all meant get one ; but if you cannot, bring your fruit here, save il anyway. Frcit Ultcil a rds.-Suburban place around Albany should be gtadaiily cut ap into fruit orchards. The field is widening into big proportions, and as a prodo'tive country tr a majority f fru t , excepting ionly HMM of the tropical fruit', this should be second to none. We must be up and dc- ing. 1 here is ueiog to bo money borealier in all MM fruit that can bo raised livre, and we should reap one of the harvest. New rai'ruad are making the market a large earn. sod then is no reason why we should not be shipping on a large scale, as is now done on a small scale, to Montana, Idaho, ashing- t. n Territory.

Itisthe time when the appetite hungers after something fresh, a change from the spring and winters diet A remarkably good place to go to obtain relief is to Conn Bro., wha have fresh strawberries and produce generally in its season, and as well a very fresh stock of groceries. On a Boom. On coming back to our office to-day after leaving it vacant for sev eral minutes with its cords of cart wtweles just received on back subscriptions from the proceeds of wheat to be sold, we found the folllowing item on our desk which we giive, and if there is anything wrong about it, the fault Is not ours : ''Halsey on a boom new store run by one I)r Fuller new school house in process of r-rec-tion new meat mat ket with y2 bar ell of whiskey in back room. Whuope'cr up, who cares for expenses." Game Law. Deer cannot lawfully be killed until July 1; djeks cannot be shot until Sept. 1, beginning May 1 ; prairie chicken and sage hen are safe between April 1 and lune 15; grouse, pheasant, quail and partridge are protecv-d from Jan. 1 to July 15; mountain and brook trout may be caught from April 1 to No vember 1.

"-a s llEADQt ARTKRs. State Superintendent McElroy passed through Albany Saturday night for San Francisco to make arrange ments for the Oregon teachers at the Na tional Teachers Association. In reference to the matter Prof. McKlroy has made the following statement to a ttalem reporter which is of great interest to Linn county people as it will offer a fine opportunity for advertising our resources and ad vantages: "It Is proposed to establish the headquarters (for Oregon) at the Grand hotel, Market street, San Francisco. These headquarters will be maintained during the aaociation and will include a bureau of Information (relative to Oregon) for the thousands of viaiting teachers from the East. It is suggested that each county send as many representatives as posalble and thatthev be supplied with such pam phlets, circulars and other county Immi gration literature as may be desirable for circulation, with this in vlew.it is aug gested that each county or city superin tendent confer with the county board of immigration (If one haa been established) relative to such aid as the members ol the board may be able to give In carrying out the above plan. These headquarters will become the central and official office for state registration, etc., for all teschcrs, sup erintendents and people from Oregon dur ing the days of the national aaaoclation. The effort will be made to secure a full and complete register of ail members and citi zens from this state. Here, also, the Ore gon teachers may Invite their friends and the viaiting teachers from the East and extend to them an earnest and cordial in vitation to viait our state as they return to their homes, thus seeing the magnificent scenery, advantages, attractions and re sources of Oregon and the gteat North west." School District Trocble. Last week we mentioned a dUpute going on in Dia trict 34. lying just beyond the Calipoeia bridge, over the building of a new school house. Two meetings had voted a school house, but on account of some defect in the proceedings another meeting was call ed for Monday of this week, when, almost every voter in the district and aome who were not voters, were present. The feeling ran high, and the meeting terminated, we are told, in a fight between a couple of well known farmers, without a vote being taken at all. It seems that the District has a school house now, not a very good one, lo cated near the Calipooia road. Those on the other road want a school house nearer that road ; one faction figuring for the cen ter of the population and the other for the center of district. ' Hence the quarrel. Of course the Democrat is on the fence in the matter, and only gives the facts as have been narrated. It is to be hoped though that the matter be amicably settled, as the people of the district cannot afford to have an everlasting internal diasenaiou going on. to the detriment of al' of their interests. If there is one thing more than anotber we need to be united on it Is our school inter ests. Exc ursion to Halsey. Friday even ing, M.'y 35, an excursion train of three coaches will go from this city to Halsey where Hon. J. P. Irish, the silvery tongued orator, will address the people of Linn county on the issues of the day. It will afford an opportunity for our citizens to take a cheap ride, and everybody should go regardless of party ties. Tell the news through the country in order that a big excursion may be the result. The Oi d Story. Another one of those deer mistaking accidents occurred on Sun day near Jacksonville. Dick Mitchell and Asa Hammond were out deer hunting, Mitchell having killed one deer was on his way homeward, carrying his game. Ham mond saw him with the deer, and careless ly fired, killing Mitchell instantly. Men who mistake deers for companions need to be mistaken cow thieves in Texas once In awhile. Fire in the Foot Hills. Word was received here last evening of the burning of the residence of Mr. Ben. Iryine, broth er of Hon. R. A. Irvine, of this city, in Fox Valley last Saturday night. The family was awakened by the noise of the flames, and only had time to get from the building in their night clothes, without saving a single thing. Besides all of the furniture about $100 in money and nearly a thou sand pound of wool were consumed. The house was insured in the State Insurance Co. of Salem, for $600, which will only cover a fraction of the loss. Never Fail. The following is from the Astorian, a paper, that rarely falls to say things in about the right manner: 'Big crops all over the state. Crops never fail in Oregon, and any man that owns a bit of land has a sure thing and need not be siek or fear climatic trouble. Send this little chunk of truth back to some poor fellow that you know way back in the Mississippi valley who crawled out from under the wreck of his barn in the last cy clone, and who is now taking quinine every day for the shakes, and tcM him it is the exact fact." From Crook County. Mr. Jason Wheeler arrived in Albany from Crook county a few days ago, and reports the wagon road in good condition for travel generally, several teams having passed without any trouble. It has not rained in Crook county since February and crop pros pects are very bad. Low son Dancing Academy Ln opsn every Saturday night from 8 to 12 o'clock. W. W. Crawford, Manager.

V Denny, of Portland, Oregon ,has pre pared a very comprehensive brief on the political situation in Corea, In which he clearly explains the past and present rela tions of that country to Chlna.ar.d the fat lacy of the tatter's claims to suxerainty. This brief was sent to a senatorial friend in Washington, to be used by him ns he saw fit. Judge Denny shows that China, by Its Interference with Corean affairs, is trying to cripple and retard the growth of her re markable rlvals.the Japanese,as well as the Coraans, in the march of progress. This growth Is assured if but once they succeed In shaking off the oppressive Influence of the Chinese, who, unwilling to advance themselves, are desirous of holding back another nation weaker than themselves.
