A drummer tell o( an Incident that happened at Jet fcrson severs! days agu o( a seml-treglc nature, one In which he was unintentional . It made a party himself. Hera it 1st One morning Mr. Young, the druggist, who re side In the rear of his store, found a note pinned to some clothes op a line and written In a nice hand, addressed to the lad of the house, and reading that "we wll lay for him," or something to that effect "Vn answer was pinned to the line, writ'en byXlr.-Yswugln a lady's hand, signing his wife's name. Thenext night a four page letter was found, full of the most endear ing language, in tact a genuine love letter. It being desired to catch the fellow, anoth er answer was left where It would be found, requesting the gentleman to call on a cer. tain evening, when Mr. Young would be at a council meeting, and rap at the back door. It was on this evening that the drummer called to sell the druggist some goods, and Mrs. Young was In charge of the store in a very disturbed condition. Altera while a rip was heard at the back door. Mrs. Young placed a light In the front window as a signal for her husband, and went to the back door and opened it, and Immediate! Mr. Young appeared at the rear door. The dummer hearing a man crying plteously for hi life rushed Into where a scene was occurring. The dirtiest, rsggedest, homllest looking tramp ever seen, was on his knees, while Mr. Young was near him with a six shooter just about to shoot in dead earnest, lie was reluctantly persuaded not to do S3. The drummer suggested as a substitute that he whip him with a big stick of wood near by ; but the matter was finally settled by the tramp marching at the mouth of the revolver to the post office, where a evening mall, and making him tell the whole story, which he did. He was then allowed to depart. The affair caused quite a sensation for awhile. , Ma. Kay. The following la from Sun day's Salem Statesman, and reads rather peculiarly after our Saturday item, which, though, was based entirely en statements made by Mr. Kay in this city, and we think was correct: "A conference was held last evening at the parlors of the First National bank between the commit tee of the board of trade and Thomas Kay, of Brownsville, In relation to the woolen mill at Salem, and while the ful. test of the arrangement now about completed cannot be given at the present time, there remains but one obstacle in the way of the mill, and that Is the water power. If a proper power can be secured the mill Is as aured. Mr. Kay goes from here to Mc Coy to-morrow and will return here about Wednesday, when another and final meet ing will be held. At that time the ques tion of a water power will be settled and with it the question of the mill.'' Crook County. L N Liggett will be gin a six weeks term of school at Barn ton's place next week. ...We understand that J SI Blakely contemplates driving his cattle back to this count from Wallowa next summer. ...Billy Stroud had a tria before Justice J L Luckey on Thursday tor stealing a . butcher knife from Ah Doong, but was discharged. . . . Wm Mirks, a young man wtrklag lor J H- Miller, met with quite a severe accident last Monday, lie was riding after cattle when his horse fell, breaking Mr. Marks' left leg In two places between the knee and ankle.... We are authorized to announce that a boxing Contest, Queensbury rules, will take place at Glaze's hall on the evening of February 9, 18S9. The contesUnts will be Jimmy Woods and Harry Hunter. The contett will be for $150 a side and the champion ship of Crook count. ?mew. Searle Si Deax Four suits have re cently been brought In the Circuit Court fcgainst Searle Si Dean, in each case the firm's railroad plant having been attached. .. 1 he plainllH are as follows, with the ap proximate amount of damages asked for Fleischner, Me ver & Co- $1,100 : Giant Powder Co., $7,000 ;IR Dawson, $4,000; B F Brady Si Co- $4,000. As we do not know how much is due the firm from the railroad nor as to the value of their assets It caanot be said what condition it will place time checks and other outside accounts not secured by attachment We simply give the record Each suit is for material used In railroad building. Street Improvements. The Commit tee on Streets and Public Property and Street Commissioner have begun cutting down First Street on the sides so as to form a rounding surface, one that will make a , natural drainage. Side and crosswalks are being repaired and matters put in ship shape generally. It is proposed to make the public highways in Albany an orna ment .o our city. This can be done in a .- marked manner as soon as the cows go and j our citizens can sow grass seed adjoining their residence property and keep it down with lawn mower instead of grinders and hoofs. Lets us make Albany the prettiest tit j In the Northwest. ' NoTittJfo Left. A correspondent to the Ochoco Review says i "Our dallies glean the local news so close that It is harJ to find anything outside of general Interest to communicate you," and then sends a - column and a half of well written matter. .

Ryan, of Tangent, who has been visiting there, had left for Iowa, and with several neighbors he had a slight attack of Oregon fever and wanted a few sample homeopa thlcdose of the Democrat to see If It will allay or Increase the already Incipient fever. He says 1 "The last thtee ear farming here ha bsen unprofitable to most all farmer and disastrous to many on ac count of the dry weather, hot winds and chinch bugs hence many of them are looking about to see some place with more favorable opportunities to better their con dltion. The scriptures say, "That wh'cha iran so that (hall he also reap, but here it Is dlfferent,a man may sow but the chinch bugs or something else frequently does the reaping, while we would much prefer do ing our own reaping. It Oregon can pre sent more favorable opportunities or more certain reward for patient toil and Industry we will earnestly Investigate them and de- clJn according to our best judgments. It will no be surprising tt some Kansans are wending their way Oregonwards in the near future ; but we deslie more light or reliable Information In regards to farms and farming in Oregon." Ho W. K. P. In it pen pictures the Salem Journal gives the following sketch of a former Albany gentleman: "Mr. Price is another one of Oregon's native representatives. He was born at Albany, Linn county In tSja He passed his youth at Albany and received his education there. After arriving at the age of maturity he went to Crook county, where he was en gaged extensively in stock raNlug fr ten years, four years ago he went to jack- son county, and again continued stock raising, at which occupation he has suc ceeded in accumulating a neat and com fortable fortune. In 1871 he was married at Albany to Mite Pauline Hackleinan, and their home Is now made happy by two boys. The oldest is now attending school at Jacksonville. Mr. Price's father was one of the first sellers and founder of Albany. Mr. Price is serving his term as a democratic representative from Jack son county. Read Tuts.

He Is now prepared to do all styles of photographic work fiom a locket to life slae ana can finish in oil. water color, India Ink and crayon. Mr. Greenwood is juit from the east and is thoroughly acquainted with first-class work, tie has come here to make this his home and cordially invites the public gen erally to call and get acquainted. He comes highly recommended as a first-class artist Lost am Eye. A very unfortunate ac cident happened to Mr. Al Green Monday, says the Corvallls Times, which may result in his total blindness, Mr. Green was en gaged in grubbing on Mr. Beach's place, lust across the river from Corvallls. While chopping a small twig flew up and struck mm just under the right eye. Inflicted a gash and it Is feared has destroyed the sight. Mr. Green has been blind In his otner optic for a great many years, which makes the accident unfortunate in the extreme. Chattel Mortoages. We mentioned recently the fact that an Eastern man grumbled at the number of chattel mort gage filed here. A Democrat man hi examined the record and finds that during iSSS there were 330 mortgages filed,aggre gating in amount about $135,000. Wbeth er this u very large or not we do not know; out aouDt it it ts iarger than tn counties In the East of a like population, .'f as large People haye to borrow money every where. and if gotten on personal security it takes a chattel mortgage In most cases. THAT STABBING AFFKAY. At 9 o'clock this morning before Justice Humphrey, Mr. A. T. Thompson wa ex amined on the charge of assaulting Jesse Clark with a dangerous weapon yesterday afternoon. II. II, Hewitt appeared for the State and Hon. J. J, Whitney for the de fendant. Geo. Sparrow, a gypsy horse trader, husband of a fortune teller, and George Miller, speculator, told the follow ing story ; In the afternoon Jesse Clark, an Irishman and outsider, who worked for Sparrow, traded horse with Thompson in front of Schmeer' livery stable, getting St. at "to boot" The horse was taken to the Stephens barn near Eleventh St., rent ed by George Miller, the shed being sub leased by Sparrow. Thompson, It seems got tired of his bargain and went to the barn to get his horse back, Clark refused to let him have It. A tussel followed over who should set a halter on the animal. Big words followed, and Thompson struck at Clark with hi knife several times, when the latter took a shovel and hit the former twice, once on the head then Thompson stabbed Clark In the left breast,alo slightly In two other places, and he fell to the floor, and was taken to the little hut near by by Antrrow and Miner, wno were present. Thompson swore that Clark struck him first with the spade and also that he thought he had the horse on trial. He admitted though that he told them that he could whip the whole three of "yees." Dr. Mas- ton testified that the Wound was about an inch long and went Into the cavity of the lung probably about anlnch.and that Clark was doing well, though the result of the wound could not then be foretold. Justice Humphrey, after hearing the testimony, ordered the defendant held to await the ac tion of the Grand Jury under $500 bonds, which were furnished. Clark, fur whom a warrant had been lssued,will be discharged. for Cleck per annum. Repeat the section of the law making the Governor a member of the Board for the purpose of deciding points not agreed upon by the Commission proper, Mat this amendment;;doc not meet the objection made by the Governo in his message. This amendment will open up a discussion that wlll test or should the constitutionality of this Commission ciing; unaer powers delegated that are claimed none canposses except the Leg- i.iuiuro ana mo judiciary, a to the action Of the Governor, If the bill passe we can enlr Infer. A memorial passed asklnir the United States to purchase the locks at Oregon City and In case of failure that they be con demned. It is somewhat strange that no one ha yet explained the chool-book business. There will be a report made no doubt. It is monopoly and one monopoly is a little ahead of the other. The report will be looked for with hope that It may Inform the people how this matter stands. Whv can't Oregon publish her own school book. It would be little expense at the start. Why could she not procure her plate of California, and by degree work out the problem and have the work done by her State printer. If California can print her own book, Oregon can do the same. There la a great Interest taken in this busi ness by friends of our State at home And abroad. May refer to this matter again. No doubt now that bill are getting ripe speeches will follow and much of Interest to the general reader wilt follow, we shall aee. . Sojourner.

O'Conner Si J Barr, of this city, offer to build a street rail way in this city and operate It for a bonus of $1500 and a twenty-five year franchise , Both should be granted at once. , They would run it from the Magnolia mills to the depot and extend it as -the business justifies. , j Knights of Pythias Attention There will be work In the first "Rank" at I Laurel Lodge No. 7, Jan. 31st, 1889.

Speaking of money made in real estate the following told a Corvallls paper bj Jack Alphine, well known in Albany, Is a little the richest "Jack says that he knows of a Chinaman who has made more money dabbling In real estate than any other individual in the country. He was the cook at the tunnel on the O P. extension. He made $1,000 a week feeding 300 men at $5 a piece, on dirt Jack says he would have stood it without a murmur, but the land belonged to the government" Is He Insane. We have men much like the following outside of the Insane saylum, substituting wild game for men : "John Miller is an old German who resid ed in Portland and recently became Insane. Saturday he was brought here and placed In the asylum. He imagines that he killed 3000 men with nine pistol shots and that he Is followed by the spirits of the men he killed." Where Is It ? Where is Samoa any way, a great many are asking. After a desperate struggle we have succeeded In finding it It is located at 15 degrees south latitude and 170 degrees west long! tude. It is about 3000 miles southwest of the Sandwich Islands, is on the route from San Francisco toMeibourne.and is the same as the Navigator Islands. It is a small concern and off a good ways to have such a wordy quarrel about A Little Mixed The Democrat was mistaken when tt stated that Albany wa without an assistant chief. Mr J F Hail is assistant until a ucceor is elected or qual ified ; but he ha resigned and will retire as soon as a successor Is brought forward We understand Mr -It lain refused to ac cept the office because there was no bonus or twenty-five years franchise thrown in A Big Robbery.

Every man would pay one-fourth of what he now pay and the Stale could make these Internal Improvements without feeling It in the least, of course we shut our eyes to all special legislation. Legislature are doing this business every year and It is bet ter to hare the money go for roads than for something of no vaiue. "The honest men pay the taxes" says Gov. Pennoyer, and so it Is. They will not complain at in ternal improvements. Will our people ever confess their wcatth f The railroad freight bill lsan Imposelblll- ly .

They do get to the people's interest as fast as the traffic will permit and this has been the case In Western Oregon with all railroads. Mr. Dawson's bill to purchase land In Linn county and locate the Deaf Mute School there, whether so designed or not, will Increase the number of deaf mutes in the State at least seventy. He ought to consider that a Legislative body is a con vertible quantity and when his bill come rely up before that bodv it will con found their tongue and they wiil become as mute and "dumb founded ' as the mule that was offered hay to eat, and left It for the greater pleasure of eating an Oregon pine post that supported the entrance of the cabin of hi master.

The effort to lake the Z'.ute school to Linn wit; decide It The only objection to It is that all public, building must be erected at Salem, and so It Is, Hut the mute scnooi does not come under that statement any mere than a scp- erate Supreme Court does located in East ern Oregon. The public buildings are de fined. If not let us send a dray to Eugene and Corvallls and haul the faculties of these State institutions down to Salem and locate them in the penitentiary or Insane asylum grounds.

It is staled which, i true, that his father was Capt McKlmle of the ship MSom- mers" on board ot which was the son of John C. Spencer, then Secretary of War under John Tyler. This young 5pencer, was a midshipman and was hung at the bow arm by Capt. McKlnzie for mutiny. It was on a bun day morning that It took place and the pulpit all over the Eastern coun try was aroused on the reception of the facts. What we desire to say Is this, JJr. White who came to Oregon in the4o's was a great friend of John C Spencer and it Is said that he sent Dr. White out here. Dr White In honor of his friend John C Spen cer, named the Butte at Eugene City Spen cer Butte a name it bears to this day. And It Is said also that Dr. White's friendship for McKinzie, led to the naming of the river in Lane county that bears his name. This was alt before the unfortunate occur rence cn the hlp 'Sommers."

Ihmoerat 1 If you will allow me space ih the umnt of your valuable paper, I wilt you a few item from thl part of Oregon which may be of Interest to some of your reader, and especially those who are not acquainted with the plan upon which In dian Boarding School are conducted. A person who ha never vUlted, or haJ ex perience In one of these schools, has not the least Idea as to how they are carried on, and what a vast amount of geod they are doing for the "Red men of the forest" There are two school here on the Res ervation, one located at Klamsth Agency, and the other at this place. The school budding here is a targe and commodious tructure ultably arranged for it purpoe The school-rooms, boarding-rooms for the pupil and living-room for employee are alt located in thl building. There are at present 84 pupil la atten dance at thl ichool, They Include several tribes of Indians, among which are the Klamaths, Modocs.Snakes and Pitt River. We have pupil attending from the age of 6 year to 14, most of whom can read and write exceedingly well, and tome are very Intellectual and bright for the chance they have had. Their studies include reading, writing, spelling, geography, arithmetic and U. S. history. Our school session con sist of 3 hour in the forenoon from 9 o'clock to 13. The afternoon are devoted to Industrial work, the boy are taught the way of farming, caring for atock and many various other things necessary to a civilized race, the girls are Instructed In the thing pretalnlng to house-keeping, etc. The school at present is under the super vision and management of Prof. . W. Brandenburg, who 1 doing a vast amount of successful work in the way of educating and training the pupil of whom he has charge, lie U an energetic and Influential instruct' and the Yalnas school is flour Uhtng grandly under his able management This is a Government school, and every thing i furnished the school by the Gov ernment Here we have a vast store-house of provisions for school use, which are laid In for a years time. Clothing of al! kinds I also furnished the pupils and all that Is for the advancement and civilisation of these people Is being done. Many of the Indians 01 this Reservation are well-to-do, and in good circumstances financially, (con sisting principally of slock), aod quite a day, Is not the Indian of twenty year ago. No, not by any means, he Is far superior in every respect Instead of their savage and roaming habits they are becoming perm anently settled, and are pursuing the ecu pations of Industry. In this line as welt a several not mentioned it Is a noticeable tact, that they are making rapid and marked progress. In patting over the Retervatlon one will notice quite a number of neatly constructed dwellings, well furnished. Thl was not the case a few year ago. But what I the cause of alt these change Io the mode and habits of this race of peo ple f I say it Is the education they have received, and the training in the pursuit of industry- that has been taught them Is the means by which these changes are brought about And I truly believe, the only, and successful way of civilizing the Indians Is to educate them. This is being done at a rapid rate and may It still continue. A. W. Moses. ON TUB MOUTH EUN BOCNDAKY.

It Is a sad outlook for the Third House. But two remain who have tread the floor for twenty years. They made their bl-ennlat circuit last week with the same regularity as when they were in better pay. The telegraph notified the country that Gen.
