The Lender puts It as follows : "The removal of Mr Lane was caused by the trouble In the spring with the Indiana. A govern ment surveyor ran away with a half-breed girl employed at the agency and the In dUn blamed the agent for it. The trouble was fomented by person outside of the agency under threats of personal harm by the Indians. The girl wa sent to the school atChemawa.

Wnuc Pgac aThe case of the city against N. A. Uloc'gett tried Thursday was for disorderly conduct, which consisted In the sbuslvc language used. The use of the abusive language was nut uuestkoned. Whether It was such aa to disturb the pub ic peace was the question with the jury, and It scem thev thought It wasn't. It is pretty certain it has disturbed Prof. Reid's public peace contlderably. In this connec tion It is humorous to hear the different plans different men would adopt to get even with a person who would call them names' about every time he should meet them. A Run aw av. About eleven o'clock Frl day a drummer and driver from Johnny Schmeer's livery stable were coming from CorvaCls on the WeH Side when the team became frightened at a hand car that ap peared on the railroad track as thev turned a corner about two mile from here. ami ran away.

Murray, lately om Minnesota, t In the city, looking out from locality in which to establish a steam laundry. Mr. Murray has been to South ern Oregon a well aa to many points throughout the Willamette Valley and has arrived at me conclusion that Albany I the most octr:ihic .place In which to locate. lie is interviewing our citizens on the mat ter of locating a steam laundry here and i receiving much encouragement. Tmr Naw Stramrr. No. Ts new steamer was given a thorough and satisfac tory public test last Thuasday with Wm. V Millet as engineer and Wm. Ifteccc a ftreman. In a cold water test it got up steam in 545, 10 lbs. in 6:30, 20 lb, in 6:55 and water In 7:. Good time. Under unfavorable circumstances it threw a ' 3 feet and is good for over 250 feet. Three powerful stream were thrown at one time, the difficulty being to get strong enough hose to stand the pressure. It will be ac cepted by the council. Several hundred people witnessed the test. Covrrro. Last Thursday Mr. C. G Durkhart went into Curran Ac Monteith's real estate office and covered the $1000 which had been pooled to cover the Albany clerk's back down. The wager was ac cepted and the $2000 deposited with the First National hank. Of course it would be. There are too many men in Ore- jon confident of Cleveland's election to al ow a little bluster to frighten them. We understand there is at least $5000 mere that will be produced at double quick time on Cleveland, if an opportunity oners. Retcrnrd.

Reld, charged with using abusive language, was called on Thursday before Recorder 1 lent on. demurrer to the complaint was overruled and the case was set for trial at a o'clock before n jury of i men. It seems that two or three years ago Mr. Blodgett and Prof. Reld had a law suit over some bus! nes matter, In which the Prof, came out ahead. Mr. Illodgctt felt very bitter over the matter, and since then, on nearly alloc ensions, and almost regardless of the clr- cumtunce. Prof. Reld Informs us, Mr lllmlgrtt, when he has met Prof. Reld, has without nnv ceremony, culled hltn an "old liar ami various other epithets of a more profane nature, to which Mr. Reld haa al ways refused to respond. It finally became so annoying, on account of its frequent and studied reprtltlon. that Prof. Keideon eluded to put a stop to it legally If possible, and hence the arrest of Mr. Htodgctt.

Scott obtained Custar's cart and horse to drive down to the lower end of the city. Arriving at hi place of destination he drove the cart Into a coral where he bitch ed the horse. There happened to be a nest of yellow-jacket where the horse was tied and they were not disposed to be disturbed so they made war upon the horse. The horse reared, plunged, broke loose, scamp ered around the coral two or three time, finally broke away from the cart, tumped out of the enclosure, ran Into river In hi fiery career, swam down it a half mile, when he swam Into the bank which was so steep that the horse could not get out. Shovel and picks were obtained and the bank dug down and the horse taken out hi fiery flight. Along tiir O. P. The resumption of work along the . P. has stirred up mat. ters some.

Eugene City is even jealous of our uncertain chance of getting a wool en mill One of the papers talks In the following boyish style: "We understand that there is talk of the Brownsville woolen mills be enlarged and removed to Albany. Why not to Eugene? We have many ad vantages over any other point in the vallev, and It only requires that a proper bonus be raised to secure their location. The super. intendent is reported as saying they would remove to Albany for $15,000. We have no doubt but a small advance from this city would secure its location here. Those Sharks. The following from the Yaquina Post shows how the Demo crat was fooled on its shark story : "The fishermen put in their big net Wednesday night at the docks, and tlicy din't run 200 feet before the net was full, in fact, too full, and the bovs had to haul it in, when they discoved they hud secured an immense catch. The net contained no less than nine great ugly sharks as wide-mouthed, live ly jodandie as one could desire. the Democrat said twelve, which was pretty close, for a newspaper on a fish story. Our Peaches ov Tot. A Portland commission merchant on being interviewed said: "Peaches are selling readily at an average of $1 a box. Last year the price varied from 50 cents to $1 a' box. The higher price arc due to the increased de mand, rather than to a small supply ; in fact the supply is larger than last year. We are handling more California and Oregon peaches than ever before. The duality of Oregon peaches is very good this year, and the demand for them is the largest, and they bring better values than others," Died. Charles Roth, at his residence one mile north of Harnsburg, 00, Tuesday, August 14th, 1888. Mr. Roth settled on nis farm near Harrlsburg in a very early day, and has lived a very exemplary life. Very few men have so many friends and so iew enemies. Careless People. A Portland woman a few days ago while working in her yard left a purse containing about $25 on her front porch. On going for it, after having been In the house it was gone. Careless people are nearly always seen near the small end of the horn. Sheep, Dr. J. L. Hill proposes to bring 1500 sheep from Crook to Linn county and let them out on share in such numbers as farmers can attend to . Probably in 100 to 200 lots. There will no doubt be plenty of farmers wHling to take a few under such an arrangement. Pitcher's Castoria. UKAU ttTATRMALKH.

"Mr. Walker, an engineer, hat returned from an enploring expedition between the terminus of the graded but unrailed portion of the Oregon Pacific railroad and the Bald Mountain mining district," says the Oregon City Courier. "He reports that the distance be tween the railroad and the mines Is 28 miles, and that a wagon road could be built over the route he picked out In three weeks' time. te used 9 rate horse cart to haul the im pedimenta on the journey, and but few ob structions of any account, such a fallen trees were encountered the first 17 mile from the Oregon, Pacific, along the banks ot the BHghtenbush. Thereafter the cart wa abandoned. Mr. Walker, who ha lad experience In railroad building, be lieves that a branch could be built from the Oregon Pacific with a grade of not more than two hundred feet to the mile. It Is a matter of Importance that whereas the sur face rock hereabouts is uniformly of igne ous forms! ion, In the Bald Mountain die trict the igneous disappears, and more prim itlve formations appear, in which super ficial ore veins are much more liable t prove true tissue veins. Tramps, They are here In large num ber, the pestiverous leeches dirty, ragged, rough looking fellows. Thursday three or four of them jumped on to the overland train while the occupants were taking their suppei, helped themselves to three valises and ran away with them. A couple young men who saw them started in pursuit, when they dropped two; but kept the other which proved to be the property of Mr. R. D Sanford, of Grant's Pass, and contained a few traveling articles. Speak ing of tramps, it is doing society a big in justice to feed them at all. Don't give R crust. Begging is their business and it Is time It was broken up. Albany can set an example that will rid the city of this scrubby clement. As soon as they display the least sign of vagrancy they should be arrested and put to work with ball and chain. One or two cases might cost a lit tie; but in a few months we wouldn't have any cases. Let's experiment. A Ciunkhr Democrat. Not all the Chinese are for Harrison. One of the at mond-eyed race was observed on the street to dav wearing: a conspicuous uteretana and Thurman badge with evident satisfac tion and pride. He would not tell who paid him or how much. Pendleton E. O. In the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Democrat we find such dispatches from various parts of the state as these : "Joseph Edwards and 87 other farmers of tirand Haven townsnip nave icu me g. o. n. and have come out for Cleveland and Thurman. Edwards is a bright, well-post ed Scotchman and haa been looking up the tariff, and has rome to the conclusion that U s no n.ace iiisl at present for a 'armer in the republican party, and will do active.sg ereasfee ork tor Cleveland, liutt and Ford." "The political horizon is somewhat dis turbed in this vicinity ; It looks changea ble and is evidently prepared for a heavy shower of democratic votes in November Republican local factions are much divided and dissatUfied ; republicans are joining both the democratic and prohibition par ties while some "take to the woods" aa the means of showing their discontent. If the state gains in proportion to this vicinity it will go democratic by 75,000 majority ... w . ,1. Fruit growers kick on the "free whisky platform and will vote to keep up the price on their wines whjch they seem to class as a luxury. Congressman ford is looked up on as an ideal congressman, and men trre epecttve of party will support him when the proper time cornea. "George D Burliton.oneof the solid men of this township (Grand Haven) and an old soldier, declared for Cleveland and i bur man this morning. E. W. Branch, a life long republican and former township clerk, came out for the democratic candidates al so. There's a stampede toward the reform ticket in this township." Editors Democrat ; Why should a newsdealer, whose patrons are people of all political parties, make it a point to carefully display In his show win dow, all political cartoons in favor of his own party, while rarely exhibiting those in favor of the other party? Such a course may be politics, but it is not business. Respectfully, Liberal. CUftE FOB SICK HEADACHE.

According tot he'-Pub. lie Debt Statement" for July, made at the close of business hours on the last day of that month, the Interest bearing debt amounts to $1,014,138,142, classified as fob low : Funded loan of 1891 bearing Inter- est 4 percent, $Ji 1 ,64 j, 350 ; Funded loan of 1907 bearing interest 4 per ccnt,$ 7 13,738,- 200 ; Refunding certificates bearing inter est 4 per cent, $134x80 ; Navy pension fund bearing Interest 3 per cent, $14,000,. or ; Bonds issued to Pacific Railroad. $6423, ci 2. The funded loan of 1891 be comes due Sept. 1st, 1891 ; the funded loan of 1907 becomes due July 11,1907. These bonds are not redeemable at the option of lie government. The Secretary some time ago. In order to reduce the surplus In the treasury, began to advertise for bids on bonds to be redeemed. The offerings on the loan of 1891 ran from 7 to 8 per cent premium, and on the loan of 1907 the bids ranged from 27 to 28 per cent premium This method of reducing the surplus is ob noxious to a very large majority of the peoplcas well as those who manage the fi- rumcUl affairs of the government 2. Tbe following are the principal source from which the government raises monev to pay Its expenses and the amount raked for the fiscal year ending june 3oth, 1887 : (Printed reports for the year ending June 30th, 1888, are not out yet.) Duties on imports $217,286,893.13 Internal revenue as follows : Spirits $6c820,j2t.7f Tobacco.. . 30,108167.13 fermented liquor. 21,922,187.49 Oleomargarine 723,94804 Bank circulation 4.288.37 Penalties, etc 220,204.83 Collections under repra'ed lews 2i283-49 Also from sales of public lands, promt est coinage, tax on national banks and many other miscellaneous source, making the whole amount of revenues collected for the year aggregate the sum of $371,403,- 277.66. 3. The ordinary expenses of the govern: ment for the same period were $35.835. 428.1 2 , leaving a surplus in the treasury of $55,567,849. 54,that accumulated during the year enuing June 30th, 1887. The amount of surplus that accumulated during the year ending June 30th, 1888, is $97,000,000 In round numbers. The surplus for several months past has been accumulating at the rate of one hundred millions per year. The total value of alt woolen gods imported into the United States for the year ending July 30th, 18S7, was $42448,127.04. Tbe amount of duties collected on these goods was $29,256442.30. This would be an average duty of 69 per cent. That Is to say on every $too worth of woolen goods imported $69 duty was paid. This enor mous tax was actually paid by those who consumed the goods. 4. This it an Important question to "Farmer," as it directly and vitally affects their personal, monetary intcrests.lt can be shown very easily that the farmers of Linn county would be largely benefited by the passage of the Mills bill. There are 4 2,000 eheep in Linn county. They will average say 5 pounds of wool to the sheep. Thi8 would amount to 310,000 pounds. Now, if the aheeo owner should lose ten cents a pound on his wool by putting it on the free list, (to.cents a pound being the present duty. then the entire loss to the county would amount to $21,000. Now if the farm er loses to the extent of the amount of re duction made by the Mills billon the arti cie which he has to sell, then he will gain to the extent of the amount of reduction made on the rrMcles which he has to buy It will take a million of sacks to hold the grain that will be shipped from Linn coun ty this year. The duty is 2 cents a fack The Mills bill puts these sacks on the free list. The duty thus removed from a mil lion of sacks would amount to $20,000. Here on sacks alone the farmers of Linn county would gain back all that they would lose bv reason of putting wool on the free '1st, But then there would be large gains by reducing the duty on woolen goods from an average of 70 per cent to 45 per cent OA the woolen good alone the people of the county wou'd make all back which they lose on wool four times over. Then here are the gains to the farmer by putting salt, lumber, etc., on the free list, as well as the reduction made on nearly everything ne has to buy, all considered make the farmer a art bill. reat gainer by the passage ot tne mi.ii It is Dr. Portugaloff, a Russian phyal clan, who has discovered that a man can't drink whisky after taking strychnine. It did not require a gentleman with such a remarkable international name to find that out. A great many men knew that 6trych nine would disqualify a person for drinking whisky or anything else. The day will come, and Is not far distant, when the men who will be hardy enough to advocate the taxation of the people by a protective tariff for the direct benefit of individual or corporate Interests will be looked upon as an enemy to the republic and to the fundamental principle of free government.
