Considerable Bittkr. Mr, John Mor
gan writing from Pltlnvlew says t "A
great many people are complaining of get
ting their cupfull of bitter and no iwect. I
think mine is one of that kind. Just in the
nice dajri of harvest I broke two of my rlb,
and, then to fill the bitter cup to overflow
Ing, 1 broke a leg in November, and while
at Mr, Leedy's mill getting saw dust, my
fine mare, Alice, sickened and died, and
now to overflow it all I have the bilious
fever and Dr. Star has been giving noisy
medicine and if Albany wants a woolen
factory just come and move my house down
and I think they will have a good one."
The old saying that it never rains but it
pours is proving true with Mr. Morgan.but
the brightest weather often comes after the
darkest clouds.
A Delighted Audience. The rendi
tion of the drama "The Confederate Spy,"
at the open house Saturday evening, was
received by a large audience, fully four
hundred being present. Nearly all of the
parts were well sustained, that of Sockcry
Schneldelbecker, the drafted Dutchman
by Thos, Overman, particularly being
filled from top to bottom. The Dutchman
often brought the house down. There are
many exciting scenes In the play, which
were given in a pleasing manner. Sever
al of the parts deserved special mention on
account of the excellent manner in which
they were sustained; but as only praise is
appreciated in the write up of an amateur
performance, we find the best plan to be
to speak in general terms. The enthusi
asm with which the play was received
speaks for the merit of its rendition. It is
to be hoped we may have more during the
coming winter.
Moody Will Come. Mr. Jacks, travel
ling secretary of the Y. M. U. An passed
through the city Wednesday and Informed
Prof. Lee, who met him at the train, tha
arrangements had been completed by which
Rev. Moody would absolutly be in Al
bany on the ad and 3d of January and hold
services fcr the benefit of the college stud
ents of the state. Under this arrange
ment entertainment will have to be furn
ished for probably one hundred students.
We are glad to report this program, and
consider Albany fortunate in obtaining
Rev. Moody if for only two days. u
Concert. Next Tuesday eveoMg a
concert will be given at thejopfra House
for the benefit of the Jreibyterian Church,
and it promises to be a very fine thing, the
best talent in the city being engaged for it.
Mrs Langdon, Mrs Chamberlain, Prof.
Lee, O II Irvine, Miss Lib Irvlne.Mrs Alt.
house, Mrs W 11 Lee, and Messrs. Wm.
Fortmiller and Rev Pritchard are the prin
cipal participants. The program is being ar
ranged and will be published in a day or
two.
Board or Trade. Even the fear of a
$5 assessment did not obtain a meeting for
members reporting as present Evident
ly the members think there is nothing to be
done in Albany, and that we had better do
like Micawber, wait for something to turn
up. That isn't the way Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane Falls have been doing.
Taste for Art. A good, live interest
in the study of art, will benefit a city, and
we hope to have one cultivated in Albany.
Money spent in this direction is not thrown
away. Young people had much better
spend their time in painting or drawing
than in frittering it away in nothing. In
this connection we understand that Mr.
William Wright, with Dr. Guiss & Son,
wiil soon organize a class in painting.
Moody. Mr. Moody will not come to
Albany at all, even for the college services,
nor will he go to Salem. So he informed
Rev. Irvine in Portland. This is to be re
gretted very much. Necessarily he has to
So where most needed, and hence we un
trstand wilt be In Astoria. If he only
touches the consciences of some of the
editors there h? will do a noble work.
A Boy Brakeman. Another one has
been injured Last Sunday Young Hap
perset,sonot Road Master Ilapperset, of
Roseburg, met with a painful accident at
Oakland. lie is a brakeman on the train
and in some manner got caught and had
one of his legs badly mashed, so badly that
it was decided that it would have to come
off.
Their Share. On Saturday Mrs. A. W.
Wright received a dispatch announcing the
death of tier son Edgar, at Yaquina. This
family have been sorely afflicted in the
lots of two boys within the past year. This
little fellow was a witness in the trial of
Henry Miller at the last term of court, for
the killing of his brother Elmer. Benton
Leader.
Another Complaint. Uuite a num
ber of our best citizens are complaining
that cigarette dealers sell cigarettes to
small boys ranging from 9 to 13 years of
age, and thus lay the foundation for a dis
gusting, life destroying habit There
seems to be no law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to minors unless parents inter
fere and prevent it, but this loose way of
selling to small boys will lead to the en
actment of stringent laws upon the subject
if dealers do not desist.
The Difference. On this mild win
ter day with men around in their shirt
sleeves it is a grand sight to see the Three
Sisters rise In the southeast clothed in
eternal snows. It shows us the difference
hetween the WiUamette valley and the
east, the mountains being emblematic of
the oresent weather alone; the Atlantic
coast.
Tub Mill City "Yesterday afternoon
the incorporators of Mill City presented to
h rn.intr clerk for filing a plat of their
embryo city on the Oregon Pacific. Af-
ter so.ne deliberation the plat was with
drawn, as it was decided to have the city
itmbodv a greater scape of land. It will be
returned in a few days for record. This
little city Is booming, and has a bright
f uture."Salem journal.
Absent Minded. Judge Ho! gate some

Want the World. Salem now wants
the Agricultural College, and a paper there
says it can have it legally. If there is
law providing that State buildings shall all
be erected In Salem it is an unjust one
Everywhere else in the United States the
buildings are scattered, as they should be
all over the State,the Capital at ono place
penitentiary at another, asylum at another
etc., but our near sighted and narrow mind
ed legislators have centered everything at
the Capital. In reference to the Agrlcul
tural College now at Corvallis, read the
following from the Journal : "As the mat
ter now stands no additional improvements
or appropriations will be made by the State
for the support or maintenance, of their
Institution. From all parts of the State
petitions are pouring in praying that no
more money be expended upon this College

"lausson-Irvine Wedding. On
Wednesday evening, Dec. 19, at the resi
dence of Hon. R. A. Irvine, Mr. Allen B
Slausson, associate editor of the Oregonian,
and Miss Mary A. Irvine, one of Linn
county's life long residents and among the
valley's most accomplished young ladiest
were united in marriage, Rev.S.G. Irvine,
D. D., performing the ceremony, In the
presence of a few relatives and intimate
friends. After a very impressive cere
mony a bountiful repast was spread and the
evening was spent in extending hearty
congratulations and good will to the happy
couple, who have left for Portland, across
the river from which, in East Portland,
will be their future heme.
A Little Sarcastic The following
Is the Astoria s account of the wreck of
the "Yaquina Bay." While not quite as
vicious as that of one of its contemporaries
it is inclined to be sarcastic: "The steam
er 'Yaquina Bay' stranded while crossing
into Yaquina on Tuesday, in tow of a tug.
A tug is kept at that port to take frequent
soundings, locate the constantly shifting
channel, and toiv the steamers thre-ugh the
narrow channel. It is said that through
bad steering, the steamer in tow of the tug
grounded, breaking the hawser."
Dawning. An Ex. says: "It is begin-
Ing to dawn on the residents of the Will
amette valley that it is destined at no dis
tant day to be one of the most progressive,
thickly populated and prosperous section
of the Pacific Northwest Within a very
few years, and the infectious enthusiasm,
incident to a boom, already dlls the very
air. The next few months will witness
uch a development In fruit and agricult-
ral Interests In the valley as was not
dreamed of a fe h years ago."
Never Kick. Near Edgbaston, Eng
and, is a pasture where a horse and goat
grazed. Some rude boys amuzed them
selves by throwing stones at the goat and
beating it, and were having a fine time
when the horse cantered up, kicked, struck
and bit at the boys, and grabbing one
young ruman by tne coat coiiar yanaea

Best in the World. Here is a little
Item from the St Paul Press which should
be encouraging to prune raisers in Linn
county: "One fact noticeable in the pret-
operatlons of orchardists is the tendency
to make prunes their chief crop, it is be
lieved that Oregon prunes are the best the
world produces. They are altogether be
yond comparison with the European pro
duct, and even uamornia aoes not ciaim to
be able to grow as good prunes as Oregon.
They bring much the highest price in the
market"

" Bold Koubcry.
New Orleans, Dec. 16. The Pfcay
Hue's special from Grcmada says: Passeri
gar train No. 2 on the Illinois Central was
robbed last night one mile north of Duck
illllat 10:1.. When the train stopped at
that point two men boarded the engine and
commanded the engineer to pull out fast,
at the same time coveting him with revol
vers.
One mile north they compelled him to
stop. The engineer and fireman were
marched to the express car. One of the rob
bers knocked on the door, which was open
ed by the messenger. The robbers entered
and took $3000, all there was in the car,
irom Messenger Hill.
The place of the robbery was an open
low marsh, about fifty yards from the
woods. Both robbers ran eastward Into
the swamp. A posse Is being organized to
join in the chase, and blood hounds have
been secured to aid In trailing them.
