LOCAL RECORD.
An Ork.inm I'ktirk. Mr. H. Kllndt
ha just gotten out some picture which lor
originality at least rank very high. Mr.
rlindtdid the engraving himself on a block
of wood, and the picture from it may truth
fully said to he from wood engraving. The
work surpasses anything ever performed In
the Democrat pflke. The scene is some
thing like t'.b : On the right in the fore
ground are some men trying to thresh
wheat with n plow, several lying around in
an easy, la sort of a way with shocks of
wheat for pillows and whiskey straight for
beverage. This crowd is labeled the "Re
publican party." On the left some men are
threshing wheat with a harrow, which Is
labeled the "Democratic party." They al
so have their bottle. At the tqp of" the
picture is a fine thresher labeled "The Pro
hibition Party." Bill is telling his com
panions that they had better quit their
style of threshing and join the party that
threshes with a threshing machine. These
pictures Mr. I " limit offers to send to any
address for a one cent stamp. They need
to be seen to he appreciated.
Afraid. They havo been having lively
times at Silverton during the past week.
Clark lirsden, tin- Christian abator, having
heard that S P Putntm, the free thought
champion, would be there during the week,
went out the r for the express puroote t
challenging him to debate. Rraden sent
two or three massages t Putnam, inviting a
controversy, but that gentleman for tome
reason decliaed. Friday night Putnam de
livered a liberal lecture at Free Thought hall.
Braden ws present, and when he was
through he invited tho crowd, Putnam in
cluded, over to the Methodist church to hear
his refutation of Putnam's argument. Put
mm didn't go, bat a good part of the audi -noe
did, and they do say that Bradon's
answer was complete. taUmatt.
Picnic Friday. Next Friday the Sab
bath schools of the Congregational, Pres.
byterian and It. P. Churches will hold a
picnic on the Santiam, on the line of the
Oregon Pacific road, a train having been
chartered for the purpose. The train will
leave in the morning (he hour for which
will be announced hereafter, and return in
the evening. The fare will be 50 cents tor
all fourteen years of age or over ; a 5 cents
for those between ten and fourteen and free
for all under ten years, belonging to these
schools. Tickets can be obtained of Mi D
O Woodworth, at 11 lack man's drug store.
Whew. An Oregon man was in Cin
cinnati recently, when a green grocer ask
ed him where he was from. "We are from
Oregon," was confidently responded, when
to the astonishment of the visitors to "Pork
opolis," with a look as blank as a sheet of
plain white paper, the aforesaid "gg ask
ed : "Well, where's Oregon ?" Now it
Is evident that fellow was a "green grocer"
In more senses of the word than one. On
being informed as to the exact segment in
the earth's circumference which constitut
ed our grand and glorious state, the afore
said green grocer remarked that he had
been in California. Maj. Wm. Manning,of
Canyonville, is the Oregon man and sends
these facts to a Salem friend. Verily there
is a big work for board of trade.or else the
East U full of greenhorns.
Tbe Yaqcina Jetty. -The high tides of
the past week days have been pUyiog sad
havoc on South Bsach. Tbe opening made
through the appioach of the jetty has
widened and several acres of land has been
washed into the sea. Tbe grove whero the
4th of July was celebrated last year is partly
gune and the hotel and other private proper
ty is seriously threatened. Nothing oau be
done to stop the ravage of the water until
tbenovt appropriation for rivers anWiarbora
is made available. Newt.
The 4th Albany people this year will
celebrate the 4th all over Oregon. Qaite a
number though will go to Corvaliis, attracted
by the display of military companies that
wilt be given there. Six companies of the
21 raiment will participate in the exercises,
amoog the number being "F" Company, of
this city There is talk of a sham battle, but
we understand it will probably not take
place.
Rebuilt Tne walk in front of tbe Flinn
block is being rebuilt by Mr. lohn Hodman,
who baa engaged two experienced workmen
for the purpose. A first-class walk will Ins
put down, and also around the 0 K halt dur
ing the year. The condition of the old walks
shows that Mr Carson kt.o a very little about
the business.
Col. Coiei,and. The Orcgonian speaks
as follows of this lecturer : "Col. Copc
land's second lecture at the Taylor-street
M. E. Church was listened to with rapt at
tention by a large audience. It is the com
mon verdict 01 all who have heard the
Colonel that he ranks with Gonglc, Wal
lace Bruce and Wending. For nearly two
hours the audience hung upon his Hps with
almost breathless attention."
Want a Hohe Race. Corvaliis offers
prizes for hose races on the 4th of July.
As the Albauy team will be in Seattle on
that day, the H ft L or tender boys might
possibly organize a team that would make it
warm for oar ncighbois, though we ad nit
that city has some superior rurreers.
Wju. M o v e TO Sale m . -Tuesday M r John
Long, of this ounty, father of Albany's fast
est runner, bought the Reed property of A
Bush, situated on High street, in Salem, and
will move to that city to reside.
Look First. Two family separations
are reported to the Democrat, none of the
parties having been maricd very long.
By the way young pe-dple should always
know what they arur 'doing when taking
such an importanLtep as getting married.
A School Picnic Last Friday Mr Mark
Peery closed? Ids school in district 100, with a
picoic. An Albany gentleman har petted
along' during the festivities, and reports
A Rki kption. Mondayntght being the
first opportunity offered a reception was
W w
given the Albany Ijosc team at i's hall Im
mediately after the arrival of the overland
train. Chief Engineer Webber followed
by the Juvenile hand and hose team and
cart, gaily decorated with new brooms,
were at the train on its arrival when Mana
ger Watts and the firemen not arriving the
previous evening were received and escort
ed to the hall. Chief Webber congratu
lated them on their victories and promised
them a grand reception on a like victori
ous return from Seattle. Hon. J K
Wcathcrford on behalf of the city wel
comed the boys in a glowing speech, and
Manager Wattson being called forexplaincd
the races run and the present state of
things. Everything is under protest, and
hence none of the prises have been even
"awarded" yet, the exempt firemen's board
being the power beyond the judges even.
The matter will be considered by the hoard
on next Thursday evening. Portland has
acted In a very small wav, peculiar to that
cltv. It wants everything or nothing and
doesn't know how to treat visitors even
with clvllitv. The firemen arc grateful
though for kind treatment from the United
Carriage Haggage Co., and a few hull
v id mils.
Man With Money. A shrewd, fine
looking man was in the city Tuesday, in the
interest of himself and capitalists, of Minne ¬
apolis. He v anted to know all about Al
bany, Linn county and Ore go a generally,
the pnoo of everything, woolen mills, manu
facturing interests, etc. .Somewhere in Ore
gnu, pmbaMy ruriUnu, ho intends sUrtttiu a
arge produce house, and at three or four
other places branch house, for general met-
oh a ml iso, and where there will bo a market
for everything raised . He left oa the even
ing train for Brownsville to examine into tbe
workings of the mills there. IM our Board
of Trade or real eaUte men know that he was
here feeling around? If we are not mistaken
he is iust the class of men we nee 1 to court
in Albany, the kad we need to buttonhole,
and say. "here, we want you in Albany."
We want men here representing money, and
any olass that will help give us a large and
reliable maraet for everything that can be
raised, will confer a favor by dropping down
in the Willamette Valley. Ws want a wool-
It! . a. aa a . . S Sk
en mill at Albany, and it win pay us to
shako bauds with the men who have the
money to build woolon mdls. This man,
though seemed to be setting nis information
from unbiased sources and hence did not
make himself very conspicuous, and, by the
way, there are large numbers gain through
the state in the same way.
Good Templars. An East Portland
paper in speaking of the meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Good Templars just held
says : "The report of the Grand Secre
tary shows that six lodges surrendered
their charters during the past lodge year
Nineteen more forfeited their charters and
seventeen more ceased to work under their
franchise, yet have retained their organiza
tion. Forty-two in all have really dropped
out of a list of eighty which was on the
books a vearago. During the satncperiod
but one new lodge was organized, leaving
now, In the whole State of Oregon, but
thirty-nine lodges of Good Templars out of
over four hundred which have been grant
ed charters since the order first planted
Itself here."
Mr. Ct sick at Chicago. Mr Cusick,
of this city, was Chairman of the Oregon
delegation at the Chicago Convention, and
gets the fol'owing notices in a San Fran
cisco paper : "Four of the Oregon dele
gates thought a great deal of (jrcsham and
would vote for him although feeling that
I ngersol.'s speech had ruined his chances.
4Wc will go for Blaine? however, at the
first sign of a break,' said Chairman Cus
ick. Nothing of an exciting nature occurr
ed while the tw i ballots in the morning
were being taken. Creed Hay mond'a an
nouncement of si stcen votes for jUainc,'
aroused mild applause, and Mr Cusick, oi
Oregon, with his little voice, occasioned
some amusement for the galleries and
much embarrassment for its owner."
I A Qcarrel. Last evening at an hour
when most civil people were preparing to
cast themselves into the arms of "nature's
sweet restorer, s'ecp," some young lads
stood far towards the eastern
SUICIDED.
Last Tuesday about 9:30 o'clock Grant
Osborne, of Corvaliis, staggered Into Hale
Backensto's saloon, and, acting In a very
strange manner was taken up stalra Into a
bed room and Dr, Maston sent for. The
doctor immediately pronounced It a case
of an over dose of morphine. An effort
was made to save the young man's life,
but without avail and he died about eleven
o'clock. Whether the morphine was taken
Internally or hypcrderralcally was not cer
tain. He was not a morphine fiend, and
was not in the habit of taking It.
The history of the case is something like
this as nearly as can he learned. For some
time Osborne worked for J. VY. Hansen, of
Corvaliis, where he also has some cousins
living. His people reside at Eugene City.
He has a brother living at Brownsville, Dr.
Osborne, and was a young man of good
address. He married a few years ago, hut
about two years ago on account of some
-trouble parted from his wife. For several
months, we are informed by a CorvnllU
gentleman, hi was keeping company with
a voung lady of that cltv ; but being In the
habit of drinking heavily she refused to
have anything todo with him unless he re
formed. This he finally consented to do;
but would come to Albany and go to Eu
gene and get on a spree, and we under
stand that a few days ago he was banished
from her side, and yesterday came to this
city. He Is said to have drank hard, and,
it ls reported, gambled, losing some money.
It is probable that he became dejected this
morning and concluded to shuffle off this
mortal coil by the morphine road, though
no note wan icft to show this to be a fact,
and some think he did not intend to com
mit suicide.
How Was it Done. The coroner's
jury In the inquest held over the body of
Grant Osbarne decided that he came to
his death by an overdose of morphine. An
effort was made to find some clue to the
cause, but without success. We are told
of the following incident' Young Os
borne awhile before he was taken viol enl
ly ill, was in the room of a young man a
the Murry house, when the subject of tak
Ing morphine was mentioned. The latter
said he sometimes took a "shot" himself
and taking out a bottle and instrument shot
some into his arm. Being called away he
left the bottle and instrument on the stand.
Coming back Osborne was gone and he
thought no more about it until hearing of
his sickness, when he examined the arti
cles carefully and says they did not look as
if they were used, "it Is possible he might
be mistaken. At the same time there are
many circumstances to make It look as if
Osborne took morphine for the purpose of
getting rid of himself. The matter now is
somewhat of a mystery.
Skipped. The two men who run the
sale of oil paintings in the W. C T. U. Hall
last week, failed to put in an appearance
Monday morning, leaving several Albany
men their creditors for divers sums. Just
where they went is not known, They very
kindly, though, left several pictures, and
they were duly attached this morning and
will be sold. The men were no doubt fab
ricator from way back. The quality of
their pictures though need not necessarily
be involved In the transaction, as some sf
them were no doubt fair works of art, and
worth at least what was paid for them.
The Montana Robokrv. Among
those on the Montana train recently "held
up" by eight robbers was Mr. Turrelh
father of W. E. Turrell, of this city. Mr.
Turrcll writes that it was the most exciting
scene in his experience. One of the men
placed a revolver at his head and demand
ed his money or his life. He succeeded in
finding $475 which he gave the robber.
The rest of his effects he had managed to
hide before the robbers entered the cars.
One of the men was shot In the ankle, but
some silver he had hid in his boots saved
him.

growing out of the fact that one had "cut

Expectation. W. E. Price.Sr., of this
place, starts this evening for- Stayton
Marion county, on a business trip and will
be gone some time. He will also extend
his trip to Sodaville, Linn county, where
he has tome land wbich he intends to bave
surveyed, platted and put on the market
there. The building of the railroad from
Lebanon to Sodaville will make this prop
erty valuable and we hope to see Mr Price
realize handsomely from it. Ashland Iter-ord.
The County Loses. In the case of
Geo. W. Belt, district attorney, against
Linn county for $135, for services per
formed in twenty-seven cases by his deputy
Mr. Mont any e, Judge Boise overruled the
demurrer to the complaint last Tuesday.
He said the statute p'.ainlv provided that a
distiict attorney had a right to employ a
deputy, and that his bill against the county
for services should be honored. This is a
case that has engendered considerable feel
ing, at least among the parties interested.
A Wagon Shop. Mr. Martin, brother
of Mrs. A. B. Woodin, has bought out Mr.
George Richards' wagon shop, which he
will run. He has rented Mr. Geisen
dorfer's house and will make Albany his
home. We are glad to see such men cast
their lots among us. Mr. Richards, a good
citizen also, will soon leave for Crook
county.
A Trio. Last Monday Miss Laura Gol
tra left Albany for San Francisco, going
with Miss Frankie Jones, of Salem. Miss
Julia Chamberlain, also of Salem will join
these young ladies In July and the three
expect to spend the summer together study
ing music, attending the National teachers
Association and taking in the city.
Close Call. Last Monday two prom
inent citizens were just putting up $300011
the nomination of Rlaine for President
$300 in gold and a check for the same
amount were in their hands when a gen
tleman rushed to the door and cried "liar-
is proving rjsor, js nominated." The check was auick-
- - - s
ly torn and the liialne man heaved a sigh
of relief and yet one of regret. A minute
more and he would have been poorer by

Thistles. Now Is the time to begin
digging up thistles before they get much
headway. Our citizens who know how

should take warning and down the nuisance

AS APPLICABLE. A Corvaliis paper
says the arguments used in the Democeat
recently in favor of a bridge here are as
applicable to that city as to Albany. Cor
recL Here's a scheme suggested by the
fact. Suppose Benton county on account
of its northeast end contribute! liberally
for a bridge at Albany and Linn county on
account 01 its southwest corner liberally
for one at Corvaliis, and each for itself,
and the tiling will be done. We are in favor
of one at each place.

1 lie Albany team reached Albany sab
bath night. They do not seem to be very
highly pleased with the treatment ret civ
cd from Portland. There seemed to be a
general desire to keep everything away
from them possible. In the wet test the
starter, a "blasted Portland policeman, be
fore they were readv said "are vou rcadv"
and fired without wailing for an answer,
and two or three seconds were lost, while
the Walla Walla team started before the
firing, and about admitted that they had
the fellow fixed.
The record made by our team was a re
markably good one, and they will go to
Seattle, where genuine money prizes the
management are not asjiamcd to advertise
will be offered, and the prospects of their
getting the lions share arc good.

Mr. Editor i :
1 am In favor of the Grangers. They
makes us all practlclc men, and shows us
how we can make so much money They
say we must not sell our projuce, whtn wc
gets nothing at all. They say We must keep
our butter and egg and chicken when
nobody want them. Sol takes tlieftf ad
vice and what I can't sell 1 keeps, and I
packs my eggs In straw and salt and oats
all the while when nobody want t ome'
My hens scratch my garden and oats and
rute up my wheat, all for ten cents a dozen.
I keep my egg till they arc just twenty
cent a dozen. When I unpack them for
twenty cents exactly. While 1 fix my eggs,
something says, Upas, some of these eggs
sre no gude. They look like no leetle
chicken will come out of them. Some of
my egg smell like nobody will steel them,
thru" I says, I will try this one, so I brake
a leetle hole in the end and smell a tcctlc,
just a leetle. Oh my I never was so
much smell. This smells like as in one
leetle egg, If nobody will smell more of my
egg, I says surely all of my eggs smell in
this one, I says to my wffe, the hen which
laid this eggs i dead. Then she made a
little one smell, so much as two hours she
Hniellsthat same egg all the time which it
doe not quit. She says, Upas, the hen
what laid that egg, the skunk killed the
next time he comes ta our barn. Then ao
much of my eggs, they all smell like one
egg. I thinks the Grangers, they do not
meil all the eggs what my dead hens laid.
I sell all these egg for what my hen rute
up my wheat, and wallow in my garden,
the grass will not grow, so I loose my ten
cents. My wife say, Upas, these Grang
ers saves all the money when the mer
chants get all our projuce for nothing, so
f'ou takes all the eggs what our live hens
Id and mix them with the eggs which our
dead hens laid, I do so, and all our eggs are
live hens eggs. Then we takes them to
the merchant In Albany and he says, hello!
Upas, you bring me so many more eggs a
nobody, I pays you twenty cents, I pay
you fifteen cents when you brings me not
so many. Is all your hens live f I says, I
ha ve all my hens is live, who told you so ?
All my eggs brings mc just eight dollars
and we buys sugar and coffee and ca icoes
and shirt, and mr wifevbuy Charley one
of those things which MrA Jones leetle bov
playson when he whistles. So we laugh
all the way home just, so as all the Grang
ers, when we gets nothing for our projuce.
My wife says, these Grangers are all good
peoples, so Upas, you sees that honesty is
the best policy when we gets twenty cents
for cur eggs. Now we packs all our t-ggs
when we sells them to the merchant for ten
cents.

The following reference to Dr. Eaton la
taken from the Mercfed 4 Argue" of the
!2'hinet:
On Saturday last we witnessed an op
eration upon a cross eve by Dr, Eaton at
his room in tbe Kl (JapRao Hotel. The
subject waa a twelve-year old daughter of
Mr iliinaaker, a resident of this tows,
who baa been from- her birth afflicted
with cross-eye, it waa done witnesst
pain lo ths Rule girl, who daring ttie op
eration on tbe eye, smilingly answered
several questions aaked her by tbe Doctor
and ourselves. Minnie Hunaeker, tbe
subject in this case, after tbe operation,
appeared a bright, pretty little girl and
smilnd gratefully while thanking tbe
Doctor for treating her ae tenderly and
subjecting har to so little paiu."
Tn following account of a remarkable
surgical operation performed by Dr.
Eaton ia taken from the K Paso "Times"
of tba 1 0th ultimo :
'In company with Captain S. D. Slocum
we caKd 10 sea Miss Jennie Slocatn, tbe
youngostdugbtero ths Captain, who
lias been la Kl Paso under the treatment
of Dr. Eaton. We remember to bave seen
ibis young lady a few months ago at tbe
ranch, with her foot twisted until it waa
at right angle with the other foot. To-day
the left foot I aa straight and natural aa
the right. We congratulate tbe young
lady and rejoice with her father in thia
successful performance of Dr. Eaton, yVe
were skeptical until we witnessed tbe re
sult, vy m are now satisfied of tbe prom
ises of the Doctor. Jn these instances
they were verified."
A remarkable case waa brought to our
notice yesterday, being that of a 15 -year
old daughter of Mr, Ej P. Gilpin, a sub
stantial farmer, formerly of Colombia,
Missouri, now living near Colllsburg. In
this county, who bad been totally blind
