Entr a xckd, "3am Chekebcrry and
family, of Can Prairie, attended the circus
at Salem on Tuesday last. Sam sold a new
cookttove to Salem hardware dealer, for
enough to take the whole family to the big
'three-ring tent' with coin to spare. The
old lady vows she never heard Slch a loud
keyed planer in her life.' She got stuck
on the calliope, and the old man got stuck
on the 'nigger' band, Sam Chokeberry,
Jr., fell in love with the female bareback
rider, and the old man had to tie him to the
wagon to keep him from following the show.
This is young Sam's first trial of love and
.-upid OH near knocking his eye out"

1 1 mm kr KRiiiADK. A hammer brigade
has been organised in Koseburg, and we
hasten to implore the good women of Al
bany to do likewise, and the larger and
stronger and more enduring the members
the better. The object of the organization
is to sec that the nails in the sidewalks shall
be driven down. The men have shown
that they will do nothing, and now the
women are coming to time. When they
put their shoulders to the load it has to
move. Will our Albany women act and
put the men to shame.
(Jkttinu Evkn. "Dr. Freeman, of Mo
lalla. was the other day arrested and ar
raigned before Justice Randall to answer a
charge brought against him of practicing
dentistry without a license. The doctor
waived examination and gave $joo bonds.
The suit was instigated by one Thomas
whom the doctor pummelled thoroughly
for dragging his domestic affairs into the
newspapers. Thomas' motive is apparent
ly revenge." Sfaemin,
Birnko. Sunday, Mamie, the three
year old daughter of Mr. Jos. Meyers, the
blacksmith of Lebanon, was playing with
some matches when they became ignited
and her clothes caught on Are, burning
rapidlv. Fortunate")- members of the
household were near, and the Humes were
ctinguished ; but not until the little girl's
i'e and arms had been badlv burned, and
in time to save the child's life. She is now
doing well and will recover.
Makkieo. On Taeulay evening, Sept. 4.
1888, at the residence of M. Hyde, by Rev
S Irvine, I) L, Mrlieorge Henderson and
Miss Annie M Hyde, both of thi city, were
united in marriage. The Dkmotrat wishes
them a cup fall of happiness iu their journey
through life together. Mr and Mrs Header
son will go to Yau.mii bay on their bridal
tour.
Miil Bi'RNKD, - -Mr. J. S. Morris, of
Scio, who was in the city, Informs us that
the saw mill of Chapman V Brown, about
five mile east of Scio, wa entirely con
sumed by fire on Saturday, -catching from
some burning timbers in the vicinity. The
mill waa insured in the ilome Mutual for
$.2000. The loss was adjusted at $ 1300.
As O00D as Gold. The Albany Insurance
Company is hiving an era of prueperity. Ita
premium receipts are very HattcrinR. Peo
ple generally hive confidence in the Com
pany, because it is backed by solid buaineaa
men, and 1a a safe, reliable Company . A
policy in it iu MM ' tire U as good as gold.
The Fly. If some of the Democrat's
subscribers were like the fiy it would be
very much to our pecuniary interest.
Whenever the fly gets some sugar it settles
on the spot. This is getting to be quite a
walnut among our exchanges, so we ap
propriate it too.
Tub Thief Tne man who took his wife
in a wagon and went into my garden an ,
took my potatoes, tomatoes, pnmpkins, etc.
is known. He waa once indicted in this
county for a crime. He will b indicted for
mother if ho steal from my garden ogam.

M. A. T. The Man about Town is re
quested to ask why wheat dropped 1 'i
cents here, though the San Francisco mar
ket remained firm with an upward ten den
cv, as high as $1.04 per bushel having been
bid there for "buyer year."
The Steamer.- No. Fa new steamer will
be housed with imposing ceremony on Sept.
14, t ie day oa which the military ball will
be given. Feature of the atfair will be fire
men's parade, speeches, etc.
Tin: Reason. While wheat was 75
cents at Albany and 78 at Corvallls it was
70 at Salem. Were the Oregon Pacific
steamers able to be running on the river
the price at Salem would undoubtedly be
equal to the Albany price, as it will when
the fall rains set in.
Strawberries. A Salem paper is
boasting of some ripe strawberries. Will
some one please bring a bunch into the
Democrat office. We must keep this
September strawberry business before the
people just to show up our climate and
soil.
Married. On Sept. 2, at the residence
of H. Bryant, by Elder Leedy, Mr. John
Crockett and Miss Lena Fitwater, both of
Linn county.
Born. On Sunday, Sept. 2, to the wife
of Rufus Thompson, another deputy post
mistress. Borm. To the wife of Mr. Miller, of the
real estate firm of Burkhart k Miller, on
Saturday, Sept 1, 1888 a girl.
What it costs to shoe your family for one year. You haven't ? Well let us tell you, that by buying cheap J ohn goods in leather for fall
and winter wear, you are throwing away your money. Now to overcome this trouble, buy your foot wear from us, as we sell nothing but
first-class goods and will sell them for less money than you can buy them anywhere in Linn county. Come and get our prices, and if we
don't do what we say, we will not ask you to buy. We make BOOTS AND SHOES our business EXCLUSIVELY and know what the
trade demands.

A Cx .r ami a Deer. -Last Sunday
William Pippin was hunting near Chit
wood, on the Oregon Pacific, w hen he saw
.iconiii.il nut often witnessed by a hunter.
Seeing a buck go down into a canyon Pip
pin followed it On arriving in 'sight of
the deer he found it In mortal combat with
a cougar, which had sprang for it as it
reached the bottom of the canvon. After
watching the fight, w hlch was a fierce one,
Pippin shot both the cougar and the deer.
The deer was brought to this city on the
noon train and sold at a butcher shop. It
showed signs of the fight. A similar fight
is said to nave taken place in the same can
von several weeks ago. in which both were
likewise shot bv a hunter named Cum-
mings.
Qvrer Compact. To-day a party of
thirty -one young men left Indiana for
Washington Territory, where they will
form a stock company for the purpose of
carrying on a stock ranch. A peculiar
feature of their agreement is that no mem
ber of the firm can draw his money out of
the general fund during the first five years
after the date of oraniatton. Any one
leaving the business will forfeit his invest
ment of $500, which is the sum put in by
each member. The young men will do
their own herding, branding and dealing,
and will thus he enabled to avoid the ex
pent e of cowboys. Those interested in the
move live mainly in the vicinity of Rich-
mond.
Costok Living The coat of living haa
materially increaaed in Portland within
the last three years. We will ey nothing
of the higher price of meals, etc., but call
attention to the single item of fire wood
Three rears ago a cord of fir wood cost
$2.75. and Chinamen would saw, split and
carry it into the cellar for 50 cents. Now
a cord costs $4; the steam saw charges 50
cents a cord to saw it and Chinese demand
75 cents to split and house the wood. In
other words, wood in the cellar cost three
years ago $3.25, and now the house keeper
has to pay $5.25, an increase of $2 a
cord. Welcome.
A Live Crowd. It waa a lively crowd of
excursionists who passed through Albany
last .Tuesday bound for Columbus, 0., where
the Natiooal U. A. K. will soon meat. A
conspicuous member of the partyjwa Com
mander Goodman, of the state U. A. R. ol
California. The veteran guard waa con posed
of a fine looking body of men. They gave an
exhibition drill around the depot, tho com
pany being headed by some exeelloot mar
tval music. When they reached Albany
they were a hungry crowd, some of them
having been a day without anything to eat
Bio Runs. Reports from different parts
of the county indicate that harvesters have
had much larger runs than for several
years, notwithstanding there are more in
the field. A Urge number have run 25 to
30 days. Conn Bros., the popular grocery
men, of this city, are also having a big run
in their new quarters in the Pfeiffer block.
They have a fine stock of groceries and
crockery ware which they sell at bottom
prices. There are several reasons why
they can give good bargains to their cus
tomers. Lebaso.v, R C Miller and O W Cruson
have purchased tb hardware business of A,
C Char.hil!. Mr Miller has also bought Mr
Churchill's res:dence, in which he will re
side Tn is morning Mr Donald y 'a teak
ran away with him while in the harvest
field and threw him from the wagon . In the
fall he caught to the wag mi and waa dragged
some distance, rendcrtug him unconciona.
He waa seriously hurt but will recover.
Fire at The Dalles The Dalles was
visited by 4 big fire Sunday morning. Two
blocks were consumed, the damage being
f estimated at $25,000. The fire, as is to
j frequently the case, started In an alley
and rapidly spread. The firemen. did as
good work as their limited apparatus would
permit. About $10,000 insurance was
carried.

SHOE STORE.
Headings. - Geo tV Cable's readings will
take place at the opera house in thiioity on
Thursday evening, Hep l.'i The admission will
be 25 cents; reserved seats, 50 cents. These
readings will be well worth hearing, and
should be largely attended. The New YorK
Tribune says of Cable: "Oeorge W Cable,
the New Orleans novelist, has oarried tho
Puritan literary capital by storm with his de
lightful readings from his own works. Furth
er experience confirms the first verdict that
Dickens was nowhere compared with Cable
aa a delineator of his creations. His con
cluding entertainment, iuterpersitig Creole
and African songs with his readings, was
such a suooess that a repetition had to le an.
nouaoed for uext week, and not a ticket waa
to be had for love or money by noou of the
day of the opening of the sale of seats "
Can't Albany do as well as that.

Fi.M.KR Cut Oek. Monday afternoon
cutting machine waa left In the street
near Geo, E. Chamberlain a barn, w hen it
was discovered by Frank Allen, a son of N.
I. Allen and some other boys. Incndcav-
oring to manipulate the machine, as boys
will when they find them lying around
loose, Frank got a finger under the knives
and the end of one of his linger, just above
the nail, dropped off. It was dressed and
will be as nearly all right as a two ana a
half jointed finger canoe.
Their Will. As will be seen by an
obituary notice elsewhere Mr. Willis Galne'

children equally. The property was valued
at $30,000 to $40,000. Mr. J. J. Dorris, of
this city, a son of Mrs. Gaines is one of the
eight, and will hence get an eighth of the
large estate.
A Fai t.- "Tracing the maps one can
sec that the most illrcct line ol rmiwav

Baker City is almost an air line Eastward
across as fine country as any in Oregon."

In speaking of the importance of the co
operation of parents with teachers In the
work of the school-room, ( shall assume
that I am addressing the parents them
selves. I begin by asserting that parents
are more largely responsible for the educa
tion ot their own children than are pro
fessional teachers, the community at large,
or the St - i'- To give to every child a
physical, Intellectual, and moral, nurture is
a duty Imposed on every parent. If for
convenience, or for the sake of getting bet
ter results, we delegate any part of this
work to others, H we commit the child to
the keeping of nurses, and to the curative
art of physicians, his intellect to the guid
ance of teachers, and his soul to the tuition
of the Sabbath school instructions and pas
tors, we may thus delegate the work - we
cannot delegate the responsibility. We
shall be held accountable for the education
our children receive, whatever may be our
agents in giving it. The teachers are re
sponsible to us, we to posterity
We have, then, arrived at a very impor-
tant and far reaching parental duty In con-
nection with secular education. Parents
being always responsible for their children's
education, must always watch and super-
intend It. When we send our children to
scnooi, we uo not ana cannot, as some
t e a . .
think, transfer to others all the care and re-
aponaiblllty of their education. Unless wc
send with litem our watchful solicitude,
wrapping them about as a protection
against evil influences, and attracting to
them all possible influences for good, we
are unnatural and recreant parents ; and it
! more than likely that in future years, the
light burden of duty which we would not
bear when our children were subject to us,
will come back a heavy load of unavailing
sorrow, and will sit and brood on our
hearts, when their ignorance shall rebuke
us, or their misdeeds shame us.
Applying this principle to the details of
ordinary school instruction, we see plainly
that the parent should interest himself in
the child's education, and should convince
the child that he is so Interested. It ought
to be an abiding thought in the child's
mind, spoken or unspoken, that "my father
my mother, are very anxious that I should
do wed at school. This one influence. If
the child love and respect his parents, wilf
do more to make and keep him industrious
and faithful, than all other influences com
bined. The parent will secure this object
in a great variety of ways ; in fact, if he
really has the child's welfare and success at
heart, there will ordinarily be no great
danger of the child s failing to perceive it
a . a. rt 41 a s e . m
ana to oe anecteo ov it. .iin there are j
judicious and injudicious ways of accom-
pluhing the end which the parent has in
view. When this subject is brought before
parents, great stress is generally laid en
vUiting the school. I am inclined to think
that undue importance is attached to mere
visiting. Some good results may come
from it. Both teacher and pupil may be
made to feel that the public eye is 'upon
them, and may be thereby spurred to make
some exertions to satisfy the public. But
a far more healthy and more effective su
pervision would be secured, if each parent
should keep nimseit in constant communi
cation with the teacher and the school

encounter the flurries which might attend
a universal solicitude, than be stagnant on
the dead sea of universal indifference. But
however illiterate a patent may be, there i
one service he can render his child which
will be valuable beyond all computation
he can ce to it that the child be regular

injury to the pupil, and a robbery of the

child to a public school rather than educate
him yourself, you must conform to the
prescribed regulations, that is implied in
the contract between you ami the teacher,
and between you and the w hole school.
You have no more right to break into the
order of the school bv irreg ularity than
you have to stop a train of cars between
two stations for your own convenience and
to the inconvenience of the rest of the
passengers. But not to Insht longer on

You cannot impress him with the idea that
education is somehting to be valued, and
prized, and striven for with earnestness

convenience and his fancies, must bend.
