Proprietors. fKii virrnu. i,eai Kiiiur. some Mi,.-Ou. contemporary up the street 9nnday threw up an elephant be cause, in referring to a general lack of en thustasm and interest in Oregon over the Presidential election we referred to Mr Fulton as a man from somewhere. No doubt Mr Fulton is a nice gentleman ; but he is nevertheless a nun from somewhere, and just where Bve out of ten of the Re publican citiaene of the city did not know Several who were discussing the matter Saturday came to the conclusion that he "was from Roscburg, or somewhere else in Southern Oregon, whereas he is an As toria lawyer, and probably a good fellow geneiallv. The spirit in which our re mark was made did not justify such a mud slinging tirade generally. The "self constituted grange" organ lives in too big a Slass house to call names, and calling mud y names in much smaller business than to refer to a gentleman in a political cam paign as from somewhere. The man who stumps the State never feels a aggrieved over such a little thrust as the organ who has something to say but doesn't know how to do it in an intelligent manner. The pub lic is not interested in either the private character of either the Htrald men or the Democrat men. Married. On Wednesday, Oct 17,1888, at the residence of J F Whiting, in Albany, by George Humphrey, Esq ,Mr W I) Shan non and Mrs B A Reynolds. The grosm is the.well-known gardener across the river while the bride is the mother of Mrs Whit in?. The match is the result of the use of printer's ink. Mr Shannon has shown that enterprise and perseverance that entitles him to a wife. On Wednesdav, Oct 17th, tSSS, in this city by Rev II P Webb, Mr B F Pierce and Miss Emma Arnspiger both of Harris burg. Selling Liqlor. Deputy Sheriff Smith left Tuesday morning for Rock Creek armed wfth a warrant issued out of Justice Humphrey's court, for the arrest of George Mealy for selling liquor without a county license. They arrived in the city Wednesday Deputy Smith found a C S. revenue li cense in Ad. Harmon's name, and Mr. Mealy claims he waa merely clerking for Harmon, but we understand this is no ex cuse under the state law. 12a. The immense audience that turn ed out to hear C. W. Fulton Saturday even ing at the Court House was just 1 22, by actual count. Mr. Fulton is a man well spoken of where he is known, but it take a man of prominence to draw an audience during this apathetic campaign. Wc have not heard how his speech wa taken ; but there seems to be no more enthusiasm than previous to Mr. Fulton's appearance here. R. R. Hugh. A farmer at Hood river shipped sixty sacks of potatoes weighing about too pounds each to Portland. The potatoes sold for forty cents per hundred pounds. The freight was thirty cents per hundred, the drayage two cents and com mission two cents, which with six cents for the sacks, consumed the entire pro ceeds of the sale. Married. In Oakland, Cal , on Octo ber 14th, i838, Mr. Frank Riles, of Benton county, and Miss Adda Putnam, of Oak land, Cal.,formerly of Albany. They ar rived in Albany ott the morning trin and will make this' county their home, Mr. Riles having made arrangements to run his father's farm on the Santiam. Keeping Ahead. Mr. J. J. Dubruille's harness ahop in this city is probably the finest to be found in the Valley and none any where better arranged. The case for display of harness just put in is a fine piece of workmanship. Mr. Dubruiile proposes to keep up with the growing city and coun Became Blind. Mr. Doran, an old gentleman about 75 years of age, residing with Mr. John Nelson, near SheJd, was taken suddenly blind Friday night, and could not see a thing for over a day. Dr. Hill, of this city, was consulted, and Mr. Doran is now regaining his lost sight to a limited extent. "He's All Right." A private letter from J II Burkhart in Washington City says democrats there are quite confident of success and many republicans concede that Cleveland's "all right." Mr. Burkhart said he would go towork atonce i n one of the departments. We Do Not. In one of his addresses Moody the Evangelist is said to have re marked : "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Now, dear brethren, are not the Chinese your neighbors, and do you love them aa you love youraelf ?" Salmon. About 6000 cases of salmon have been canned at Yaquina Bay this season, of which Williams has canned 3000 cases and Parker and Baker and Hayes about the same amount together. Married. On Tuesday, Oct. i6th,i888, at the Murray House, In Albany, by Geo. H. Humphrey, Esq. , Mr. W. E. Long, of Jackson county, and Mrs.Loretta A. Long, of Linn county. 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, youarethrowing 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 y than you can buy them anywhere Linn county. Comeand get our prices, and if we don't do what we say, we will not askyoutobuy. We make BOOTS AND SHOES our business EXCLUSIVELY and know what the trade demands. " ' Brownsville. Mr. John Moore has purchased tYVIIUam A. Cox's house here and moved Into it from his farm up near ilnrrlsburar. Several hands have been laid off from the woolen mills herf the past ten days, as business Is getting dull. Mr. Wm. Stevenson was hurt by a stick of heavy timber striking him while at work with the bridge builders on tne narrow guage road, making the third man Injured since work commenced. Mr. W. R Kirk bought Mr. Joseph White's hons the oast week, also a small lot from the King Bros., above here pay ing them something over $2700, or at the - - - o ri- - -- rate 01 10 cems per poiiuu. sue aespaaiao ton Bros, have not sold their crop of hops I ret. and are husv bal ing, lhey have a ig lot of prime hops on hatnl Complaints concerning the running of trains arc ffcrv loud. They arrive most Plain Talk. Albany is being Infested with, what the Corvallls Timts calls some swindling foot racers, and Bob generally knows what he is talking about, particular ly in sporting matters. Wc have several times warned our citixens against these traveling sprinters, and betting on their ef forts is the worst kind of gambling. The paper referred to says: "Albany is being n tested with the foot racers that have lately arrived in Oregon and are trying to work a few nicklesout of the unsulpecting. We would advise our sister city to give hem a wide birth as thev have neither honor, shame or conscience. They are here for the purpose of gulling the people and would sell their soul for six hits. They are leeches on the community and should be ignored in every town thev try to prac tice their profession. They are usually not swift enough to run on their merits and net smart enough to cover up nefar ious business. Official Neglect. Our attention has been called a number of times to a weful failure of mail matter to reach Albany from Salem, The other day the mall from Salem te Albany was sent to Cor vallis, and about the same time the letters from Salem to Albany were sent to Turner and those or Turner were sent to Albany. Impor tant business letters some of them proved to be. There is evidently a screw loose In the Salem Postolhce. Sweet Potatoeh. Three immense Sanaa potatoes raised in the yard of Mr. 211 Carter, of this city, are on the counter of the Democrat office. The very finest potatoes from California, even those which rst make their appearance as you open the sack, are not finer, if as fine, as these. There is no reason why this county should not at least raise sufficient of this very pal atable vegetable for home consumption. They have done well here this year. A Foot Race. Sunday some of the Albany boys thought a stmnger by the name of Messenger could not beat Al Long in a one hundred yard foot race About $50 was put up and the race run in (he afternoon. Messenger, who is a "pro fessional" won, evidently with what ease he pleased. Messenger, who hails from Southern Oregon, as nearly as can be as certained, aaya he has a thousand dollars to risk in a face with Cameron, of Corval lis, and came here for the purpose of ar ranging a race if possible. s Fearfully Bruised. Tuesday the eight year old son of Mr. Warren flulbeit, the livery man, waa playing with several other boys around a horse power, turning it, when his right foot got caught in the machinery. It was drawn in and fearfully bruised, the skin on one Hide being torn nearly off and the artery cut, the bonss be ing laid bure. Dr. Wallace attended him, sewed up the wound, and the bo is doing well considering the severity of the wound. On MondsYs. Miss Laura Goltra, of Salem, has made arrangements to be in Al bany on Monday of each week, when she will be prepared ' give lessons in piano, organ and harmony. Miss Goltra has re cently studied under Prof. Mansfefbt, of San Francisco, and is thoroughly prepared for the worn. She is an accomplished musician, under whom it will be a privi lege for our young people to study. A Farmer's Wagon. A farmer to-day left his team near the Democrat office. They wagon was full of hay for their noon day meai. When he came to feed them there waa not a spear left. The town cows had done their work, having swarmed around the wagon like bees around a lump of sugar. We are not particulary proud of such conduct on the part of Albany bovine. Don't Bite. Don't bite at tl.at San Fran Cisco picture enlargement concern, says an Ex. want you for a sample confidential, you know picture free if you will frame it. Tney are glorious frauds and a few days after receiving your order will inform you that the picture is ready and will be sent yon for so much neatly framed. (ot their belt gloriously alone. The Hop Pickers. Ja. Mctlargue and family, Frank Dorrls, Al Day and Will Stitica arrived home last Sunday from the hop yardaof Washington Territory, after a months absence. (Jsoorne Uavy secured a job in a livery stable in Portland and will remain tliere. A Prehcription. A merchant who was tired out from over work went to a physician for a prescription when the lal tertold him he would soon be all right if he would take his advertisment out of the papers. He would get all the rest he need ed. Died. Near Wells Station, on the farm of John Rogers, on Sunday ,Oct. 14th,! 888 of typhoid fever, Mr. Jacob Zumkillcr,aged 27 years. Waking Up. (But too late.) A writer to a Salem paper who has been up on the O. P. front, apeaka In the following man ner, which, coming from another source, will be of great Interest to Albany people: "The road leading to the K. R. Is getting badly cut up by the many heavy freight teams. But these will soon be lessened greatly In number between Salem and Me hama.as the cars will be running Into the latter place, from Albany, by the week after next. Then Albany will be ths base of supplies. It looks like a great pity that the moneyed men of Salem did not more determinedly push for a braush line from somewhere near Stavton. Inevitably a great deal of trade and travel will be di rected from the capitol to Albany. For instead of a long, dusty or muddy stage drive from Stayton or Mchama to Salem, purchasers will soon Ins able to step on the cats, and ride smoothly, returning In a few hours. And when the road Is finished through to Eaatern OWgon, and the east ern states many who would take tickets to this cltv if wc had a branch line, will alight at Albany, and often be captured." Killed a Shark. On Wednesday a feat waa perfoimed at Newport, says ths VV, which waa very novel and aurprlsing Mrs Fanny Selforthand Miss Mary West- fall who with a number of their friends, all from Polk county, were spending a few days by the seaside, and while standing up on a log which projected out into the bay, discovered a large fish slowly swimming to ward them. They procured a large rock , and when the fish came close along aide hurled the mUsle at him, and strange to say hit him square on the back which pro jected a little above the surface of the wa ter. I his entirely paralvcd their victim, and rendered him an easy prey. Thev dragged him ashore.and the funny looking fish proved to be a veritable shark three and a half feet in length. At Mill City. Judge Whitney re turned Tuesday from the front on the Oregon Pacific. He went as far as Mil City, near which place O'Conncr St Barr are filling a railroad contract. While there the Judge found some remarkably fine copper ore, an indication of a big copper mine in the future near the rails of the O. P. He considers that a remarkable timber country, and says the water power being built for the mills there Is one of the best he has seen. Railroad work is progressing rapidly and the future is a bright nc for that county, heretofore shut out from the rest of the world. The Peyskr Cask. -The Salem Satrt man, in speaking of the case of Cohen agt. the N. W. Ins. Co., says: "The insurance company are making their defense upon two grounds; first, that the claim of Cohen & Bros is fraudulent and that the notes are fictitious, given for the purpose of enabling them to garnishee the Insurance money and to leave out other creditors; second, that the saloon was burned by Peyser him self for the purpose of defrauding the com pany. X. N Sleeves and J. J. Murphy ap pear for the plaintiffs ana 1 union r oru and W. B. Gilbert for the insurance com pany. Died. -A telegram was received in Al bany announcing the sudden death of Mr. Henry Althouse, father of Mrs. S, E. Young, and J. W. and 8. H. Althouse. at his home at Wilmington, III. As Mr, Althouse was supposed to be in good health for one of his age the news was quite a shock to his children here. Mr. Althouse wa born In tfermanv In 17. be ing at ths lime of his death j years of age. Beth at Lebanon. M. A. Miller, of Lebanon, bet Mr.Saltmareh$othat Cleve and would carry New York and $ao that he would carry Indiana. Mr. Scharf, of Portland bet J. A. Beard $50 to $aj that Harrison would carry Calfarnla.

Em. As Inoenils Shoe. A Chicago man has devised a pair of boots whose wooden aolea hold a small automatic press, with which the user's name and local habitation can be printed all over the sidewalks. Conn Bros., the popular grocera do not need such shoes. They are too well-known. On account of first-class goods kept and good bargains given their namea are already In the hearts of the people.

At a meet ing of the Salem Board of Trade Monday a committee was appointed to go to As toria and find out the alms of the railroad company there, the point at which It Is de sired to tap the O. P., and the bonus, If any required to have them go through Salem. Sccretrry Manning stated that while in Portland recently he had authen tic information that It was the Intention of the Astoria railroad company to build from storia to Tillamook by way of Clatsop beach, thence through the low pass cast of Tillamook to the Grand Ronde country, and thence to a junction with the Oregon 1 .11 1 he, and suggested that there exists a very good chance, by a proper effort, for Salem 'o secure the railroad, which ap pears to be doubtless backed by the Chicago Northwestern railroad.

A letter re ceived here from Cores brings particulars of Judge O. N. Denny's attempt to have Corea assert her Independence of China. The writer says If one will read an exhaus tive pamphlet just iatued by Judge Denny, the king $ adviaer, he cannot help feeling that while the surface of the political stream appears smooth there Is an undercurrent that Is decidedly threatening. This setting forth of Corea'a woea by the judge ia .00k- ed upon aa a bold stroke and none deny that the facts are carefully and properly stated. 10,000 Ilrowned. Saw FRANt'iftco, Oct. 14.
