Yesterday after- noon Conductor Nash, of the yard engine of this city was ordered to take some extra freight car to Portland. When he got to Woodburn he invited Mr. J. II. Richard of that place to take a' trip with him. Mi Richards finall y contented, and made the trip successfully until they had returned as far asCanemah, at which point they were running at the rate of about thirty miles per hour, when they met a hand car. Mr. Richards was leaning out to see the car, when the engineer reversed his engine. It was brought up so suddenly that Mr. Rich ards was thrown from the engine, breaking his leg in two places.--Salem Journal. Ashamed of It. The following from the Pendleton -.'. O. makes it look as if some young men do things they are asham ed of. We have some In Albany like them : "They were three nice yonng men, and the red liquor was placed at their disposal on the bar, when something horrid happened. In walked two kind-hearted ladies bearing the subscription paper for the Sawtell family. The N. Y. M. jump- .I f.tr lKit ) .-L iwun I i L . K.tm ti f li l.t asi Knf it was too late. They were caught in the I act. A thing is never wicked until it Is dis covered." Hild. Chas. Wilson, the printer and journalist, who was arrested Saturday for giving liquor to Indians, was examined before George Humphrey, Esq., at 7 o'clock Saturday evening and held to await the action of the grand jury undei $100 bonds. Wilson had first received the whisker from the red men and then gave it back to them, a curious kind of an arrangement. As he la moneyless he probably might as welt be in jail as anywhere, at least until he gets sober. A Waukr.--Yesterday a wager was made in this city that Harrison would carry Indiana by 5.000, New York by 5,oco California by 5,000, Connecticut by 3,000 and New Jersey by 2,000, $10 being placed on each. Another gentleman Immediate ly offered to wager $50 to $40 that the Harrison man would loose in every case ; but it was not taken. A Fink Grape. Mr. C- P. Burkhart has presented this office with some very fine grapes of an unknown variety. They were planted for the Concord ; but came up a white grape of an entirely different flavor. The grape is a fine one, and Mr. Burkhart is satisheu with the mistake. The Only Two. The only stallions entered in any of the Northwest races this year have been Oneco and Dick Flaherty, of this county. This is a significant fact which raisers of good animals should cogi tate over. Both made excellent records for themselves. Mules. The largest market for the -purchase and sale of mules is St. Louis, where the trade reaches $6,000,000 a year Atlanta comes next, with a trade of $2, 000,000. Conn Bros., the popular grocers of this city do not sell mules,but they keep a splendid stock of groceries, produce and crockery ware which they are able to sell t very reasonable prices. Try them at their nice quarters in the Pfeiffer Block. Married. At the court house on Octo ber to, 1889, by George Humphrey, J. P., Mr. E. C. Shelton to Miss Amanda Pom eroy, all of Linn county. The Democrat joins with the many friends of the happy pair in extending congratulations. A Treat. The good people of Albany and vicinit; will be favored soon, by a lecture from Miss Minnie A. Buzzell, a mis sionary of much literary talent from China. Where she has been throughout the state, she has met with great success. Do not fail to hear. Watch for date of lecture. A Big Yield. W.B.Smith, of Browns ville, infornr.s us that he threshed 750 bushels of oats from 8 acres of ground, measured by the chain. The oats were .measured by weight. Oxeoo Second. In the special trot, free fur all, at Colfax, Fantasie won, Oneco, of this county, arcond. It was a foregone conclusion that Fantasie would win this race, as she has trotted in about 2:20. The Word Harm. In the Chinese lan guage the word hash is the longest and most difficult word to pronounce. The only difficulty about our English hash is to un derstand its composition. It is long only in the list of things that may go to make it. Proeane LXngc age. J. D. Lewis was arrested Tuesday on complaint ofC. Winn W. F. agent, for using profane language. He plead guilty before Recorder Henton and was fined $5 and costs. The case arose from a dispute in the W. F. office. Advancing. storia has some streets named Chenomus, Skamowa, etc., after Indian squaws. The papers there have combined and propose to call .hem First, Second, etc.. streets. Sensible. Died. At Brownsville on Saturday, Oct. 6th, 1888, of congestion of the heart, !Mr. Jas. Harthey, aged thirty-five years. Mr. Harthey was an employee In the mills at that city, and leaves a wife. Born. In Albany, on Monday, Oct. 8, to the wife of H. Dierks a boy. What it costs to shoe your family for oneyear. You haven't ? Well let us tell you, that by buying cneap 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 mone ythan 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. Waokon. The following from a Salem paper It a mention of a former Linn coun ty man. The paper neglects to mention that while Mr. W. voted for old Tlppe, he will not vote for young Tlppe : "This morning it was our pleasure to be enter tained for a few moments by two old vet erans of 1840 Adam Stephens andG. B. Wagnon, who voted for Old Tlppe In 1840. Tin- latter gentleman is an old pioneer Born in 1800 he remembers many adminis trations and has always been n strong democrat, but he voted for Old Tlppe be cause he thought him the better man. His memory Is replete with interesting facts of history, and though now nearly ninety years of age has never had occasion to re quire the services of a doctor." Bad Accident. Saturday evening about six o'clock Kantx & Davis' wood sawing outfit started up, after the regular days work, to saw a little wood at Mr. Kanta's residence. Henry Charles, one of the hands, was handing n stick of wood over the rapidly moving saw from the wrong side, by the way a careless act when his right arm, just above the elbow struck the saw. With a buxx the saw went Into the arm penetrating the bone, and entirely severing the triceps muscle, fortunately not striking an artery. Dr. J. P. Wallace was sent for and dressed the wound. Several splinters of bone were taken out and the muscle was sewn together. At the arm will have to be kept In an extended posi tion for several weeks it is a question whether Mr. Henrv has the complete use of his arm again. Avoiding Taxes. The present system of taxation Is an injustice. In Linn coun ty, for instance, property Is assessed at say 60 per cent, of its value. This year the yro value of property Is placed at $7.''j-V 920, which, we will say, is 60 per cent, of the value. The indebtedness is $1,642,027 Instead of only deducting 60 percent, of the Indebtedness the whole amount is de ducted, that Is if a man is worth $10,000 he it assessed at $6000. He owes $5000 and pars taxes on $1000. If 60 per cent. of the indebtedness were also deducted he would pay taxes on $300, the same as the man who U worth $5000 and owes nnthlng would. In Linn county a difference of $656,809.80 is thus made in the amount of -taxable property to the detriment of the man who owes nothing. Is it right? Strawberries. The Democrat hat several times referred to single bunches of strawberries displayed here and elsewhere ; but it was left for Mr. W. H. Warner re siding across the river, to bring in a full box of this luscious fruit. The Democrat is und?r many obligations for the compli ment. The berries are healthy, plump ones, and are a remarkable sight for the 9th day of October. We have alwavs placed great value on the first strawberries of the season; but as a curiosity October straw berries take the short cake. This has been a remarkable year In everything; but to an eastern man nothing can be more astonish ing than to see a box of strawberi ies raised in the open air in October. An Accident.--Last Tuesdao about 5 o'clock Mr. Tuthlll, a bridge carpenter working on the new bridge to cross the North Santiam on the line of the Oregon Pacific, was scaling a piece of timber with an adz, when it slipped and struck one of his legs at the ankle, the sharp corner pene trating the main artery. The unfortunate man was attended to as well as possible and-brought to this city this morning on a special train, when Dr. G. W. Maston was sent for and attended him ; but in the meantime he had nearly bled to death, lie is now doing well. Bisiness Change. Mr. J. M. Irving hat bought a half interest in the furniture business of Wm. bjart miller, and tht new firm lias bought out the furniture business of Woodin ii Willard and will consolidate the two and run a large ttore. probably the most extensive furniture store in the Val ley . Both lire, enterprising men, they are bound to make it succeed. Mr. Willard, we understand will go to Washington Ter ritory, while Mr. Woodin intends to devote his time to his mining interests. Died. Near Brownsville on Oct. 3rd, 1888, Mary E. Warmoth, daughter of W. P- and Sarah E. Warmoth, aged 26 years 9 months and 1 3 days. Deceased was af flicted for several years with tpinal and other diseases and was I great sufferer, the last year her sufferings were very great which she bore with patience and resigna tion till the passed in triumph to that in heritance prepared for the redeemed. W. Bone Cracked Last Monday the teven year old son of E. B. Purdom got on the roof of the house where Mr. Purdom re sides, on Second Street, when he slipped down the roof onto the sidewalk, just mist ing a picket fence, falling a distance of j nearly twenty-feet. A bone in his right arm was cracked, but otherwise he was not injured. Dr. Wallace attended to the in jured arm. Big Damages. Dr. McAllister claims a 12,500 damages on arcouut of the Ells worth street sewer accident, which, of course, the city will not pay, and a suit will no doubt be the result. There are several little things that might be said in the mat ter, on both sides, that sort of bubble up to one's throat, but it is the best plan to leave such cases for the jury and we have no comments to make at present. Theatrical. "His Natural Life" was presented Saturday night at the Opera House to about four hundred people. The play gives a yivid description of English convict life, and runs over with tragic scenes. An Advertising Scheme. The Demo cr at received a call Saturday evening from D. Leubrle staff correspondent of the Chicago Inttr'ktaH. Mr. Iubrle has - been in the city for the purpose of making arrangements for an advertisement of our ctty and county. He offers to write us up in that largely circulated journal provided our citixens will subscribe for that paper, furnishing fifty three months subscriptions or twenty-five six month subscriptions at 30 cents a week. The proposition is a rea sonable one, and our citizens would get the worth of their money In any event. Mr Leuhric has quite an exalted opinion of Albany and Linn county and told a Demo or at man he believed this city would have a population of 1 5,000 in five years and 25,000 In ten years. Its location being the central position in the Valley In connect ion with the great trans-continental line that will pass East through Albany gives it an advantage that is bOAind to make it a fine inland city. Outtlde of Oregon it is at tracting more attention than any other city In Oregon south of Portland, and there is little doubt of Its future. At this scheme costs lets than most any yet presented, and is a valuable one, It will no doubt be acted on. In fact our business men are favor ably impressed with It, and the Board of Trade will probably assist It forward. A Big One. Recently the Democrat gave an account of a big devil fish caught on the Mexlcn const, and told the Astoria 'tourer man he would have to try again, which he does as follows, and we admit that living on salt water he Is the biggest "form" cleaner: '"A curious phenome non was witnessed here during the recent high tides. A I'iomeer pressman had been missing large quantities of Ink and was at a loss to account for its disappearance. Tile mystery was solved, however, on Saturday at 2:30 r. M., standard time. When the pressman went into the room he was surnrUcd to see u plank removed and a large devil fish sixteen feet long and eighteen feet wide from the edges of the pu toral tuts wan 1ltj.1t im; on the tide which ebbs and llow under the I'umrrr office. Its head and neck projected through the floor and it was calmly lakiuif on board a supnlv of ink which it throws out to black en the water when pursued. I'pon being discovered It hastily withdrew to its native clement, first making a few marks on the side of the ink barrel with lt ink s'aincd whiskers. Whrn the u.tonWhcd pressman recovered sufficiently, he looked at thoe marks and read: I iin somewhat of a liar myself.' Our Albany contemporary will have to return to snake stories. We arc to near the sea to be bluffed out by a cuttle-fish yarn. iTt hino for a Dert. People who are tchlng for Albany to be in debt several hundred thousand dollars should remem ber that the city already owes about $to,. 000 on its school house. At the proper time we predict Albany will owe enough to suit the most fastidious logician. In the meantime It Is crawling We are getting a sewer system gradually though not very systematically. It is true we might bond I he city for $50,000 for a bridge across the Willamette, might buy the water works, ditch, itc, for $150,000 and put $50,000 in a woolen mill, and with a debt of a quarter of a million and $25,000 interest annually to pay would certainlv be on the high road to prosperity for a city of 3,000 people. That looks a little ridiculous ; yet there are people here who talk as If they favored some such move. It is all right for a city to be in debt, and It should mane improve ments whether It is or not ; but the amount should always be regulated by the assessed wealth of the citv, and not by the vision ary wealth in fro.prfto. A Bio Batch. Saturday evening a trarr.p made himself conspicuous in Jones' barber shop by helping himself to razors and flourishing them in a dangerous man ner, when he was arrested and placed in the caliboosc. William Garnett, a brother tramp, who made himself conspicuous a year ago by having fits, and who has since been in the insane asylum, was also arrest ed, but escaped. The other tramp made night hideous in the caliboose and the next morning was , discharged by the marshal without any hearing. Last night both of the men were again arrested and placed In the caliboose, where e one is liable to re main for several days. About a dozen others around the depot promised to leave the city. Now is the time for some em phatic action. Our citizens are getting tired of this tramp nuisance. Oneco Won. The special race, at Walla Walla, mentioned Saturday, was completed Saturday afternoon. Four heats had been trotted Friday, Oneco winning two and Maud Knox two. Purse $500. D K W won the fifth heat and Oneco the last and race in 2 . ' i . This is quite a feather in the stallions cap, and shows that he has the qualities for making a very reliable trotter when trained down. Though he secured a record of only a:3J4 he h trotted in less than 2:29. This season Oneco has entered In four races. In the first he won third money, In the second, second money, in the third and fourth, first money. McKnlght Bros., are to be congratulated on the good performances of their horse. Several Changeh.-G. W. Willis, of Lebanon, was In the city Tu esday. He hat jutt moved to that city. The farm which he sold to Hermann Ncugdaucr sev eral weeks ago for $1900 that gentleman has just told to M. E. Dow, recently of Salem, for $2100 payable in a grocery store at that city. Crook County. Mlts Rova Dodson returned home from Brownsville, last Monday.... This week Ike Ward found ready talc here for a wagon load of Web foot apples at $1.75 per bushel .... R. 8 Price, of Camp creek, was In town Wed nesday. He Informed us there had been a fine shower of rain In the Camp creek coun try last Saturday and Sunday ... .J. Hide, of John Day, passed through town the first of the week, en route for Hitrrlsburg after hit family, who have been visiting In that place the past few months. . . .Three wagon loads of oats came in herefrom Willam ette Valley this week. They were hauled across the Cascades and sold here to Jest Yancy for 75 ccntt per bushel. It Is hard ly probable that another sale could be made at that price at oats are telling at the market tor 50 cents. . . .H. Palmer, who re cently returned from the Oregon Pacific front, reports things rushing at the scene of const ruction. He says everything It rush ing on the road ; the contractors are em playing large numbers of hands, paying them off regularly every month, and things Indicate that the company intends to push the road to completion .... It wllr b re membered that four years ago Messrs. J.H. ('I ay pool and Leo Fried wagered a wheel barrow ride on the Presidential election, and Mr. Clavpool was the winner, acttlnu a free ride through the streets, Mr. Fried furnishing the motive power. Now Mr. Claypool has made a wager on the coming election with J. P. Combs. If Cleveland is elected Mr. Combs is to black boots for one hour, Mr. Clavpool furnishing the custom ers, and If Harrison Is elected Mr. Clay pool is to be l'oot black for one hour, while Mr. Combs drums up customers. Hrxnexv. An Ex itijo. Cham.

HAVE YOU That Foot Rare. KJiton Democrat ; I tee In the Daily Democrat of the 1st of this month and Statttman of the 3rd, a itatetnent from E. G. Cameron, in which he denies the statement at made in the Demote at that hit race with Eoff wat a put up job, and that In tald communication the following language wat used. "I see in your paper of the 28th ult. an article cllpcd from the Albany Democrat, which states in substance that the Albany boys believe the Cameron and Eoff foot race to have been a chuck." Said communication then adds 1 "in juatice to Mr. Eoff I will ay that three watches were held on him at the time of the race. And those who knew his time said he made It all right." Now I am one of the parties that held one of the watches at the time of the race between Cameron and Eoff, and I alto know Eoff t time. Eoff's time Is ten seconds, and he hat frequently run a hundred yards In ten seconds. The time made In said race bv Cameron wat a seconds. Cameron got fifteen feet the ttart of Eoff Eoff run up and passed Cameron within the first fHtv yards, and as Eoff pussed Cameron, he Eoff looked around and back at Cameron, and then slacked up, and the halting wat dis covered by those watching the race fnmi the grand stand and the judges stand. And It wat understood at the time by those that I have talked with, who saw Eo'ff check up. that he checked up on purpose so at to al low Cameron to win the race. A.E. Loam. Os the Mouthers boundary. A quantity of fall grain has been sown during the past week and stilt farmers are not nearly through. Hop-picking Is done, a few of the hops became over ripe and were not harvested. Sheriff Sloan was over from Euccne last Friday for the purpose of serving an at tachment on Mr.Purdy's hop crop. The af fair wui probably be 'settled In a day or two.
