It seems Uoirwn had told that the young man Kelng was dead and that hi ixhiy liad been tunk in stream with rocs attached to hii hour. He wn broiiKht here this afternoon and incar cerated in the county Jail. It appears ni me young man, John Kwing, waa working in a law mill above Cottage Grove last June, when one day ho took a gun and went to Hie woodt to hunt for deer. After he loft three shots were heard about one-half mile distant from the mill. Kwing did not return, and tor uie neat several days loarch names were orjtaniml and thoroughly hunted the woods for him, hut found no trace, and nothing haa leen heard of the minting man smce. The peoplo of that section have aiifpicioned that he hai been foully dealt with, as he had no cause to disap pear, and then ho left all hit belonging!, not even taking his coat. Guard. They unuouoteuiy hare the wrong man. nwi JUi'RDEKEn. j 11 stina was murdered near Whiteson Sunday night. Stine, N C Cook and a section boss were going home from Amity .when Cook.who was following Slim on the railroad traak, euddenly drew a revolver and shot Ptine in tho back, lie then shot himself. Poth men died almost instantly. The section boss went to Whiteson and gave the warning. No cause waa given for the deed. It is surmised here that the men bad probably been drinking. Stine was at onetime editor of the Brownsville Times and lebanon Express, which pa pers he founded. One version ol the trady ) that Stine was shot becaust he had been in the habit of joking Cook about the stories told con , cermng cook aud a characterless woman of the neighborhood, stating that the Grand Army would get hold of the story and put him in the penitentiary. Cook was mentally weak and totally destitute of undemanding a joke. Tuc Sams Man.

The Inde pendence West Side says "there is H'lle doubt of Binger Hermann's receiving the nomination again," end then asks: 'Who is the choico of the democrats in the first congressional district upon whom to bestow the honor of a nomina tion?" Answering its own question, it cava that a fit man ij to be found in Hon J K Weatherford, of Albany. "Thus presenting the name of J K Weatherford," it says, "is a voluntary contribution 0:1 our part, and entirely unknown to him, but we do it with a Cnu conviction in his fidelity to democratic principles, and from the 'act that by personal intercourse with many members of the party he stands in the froi.t rank, as one that should receive the honor of a nomina tion. Wt therefore present the name of J K Weatherford to the consideration of the democracy as one w orthy in all re spects to receive that honor at their hands." A Debate Last Saturday evening a debate wat had in Tangent on the resolu tion that a tariff duty on Imported wool increases the price ( domestic wool. There were three farmer on each tide of the question. We are Informed that A Blevlnt and J A McGhee were two of the three that took the negative, and Hons L Case and K L Smith were two of the three who took the affirmative. We did n )t learn the names of the other two combatants. Two of the three judges were repnbllcans and one was a democrat. The negative won the question. This move to discuss publicly various phases of the tariff question is a move In the right direction. Every citizen, man, woman and child it Interested in It. Let farmert have these public disunions during the winter. Tue Last Snow.--Tho Dauoca at men were not unfortunate enough to be pres ent at the W 8 Cleveland's ministrel entertainment last evening.

Bob Johnson, editor of he Corvallla Times, waa in the citT the other day, and after going home gets off the following live paragraph on Aionny, which will be generally appreciated, and we are wort than ha'.f inclined to reach out a warm grin towards our sister up the river. ''Albany always haa IbccH a kind of a twin sister to Corvallla. Not because of any particular affection exist ing between the two towna, but from the fret of having n similar excuse tor living and haying been on the turf about the same length of time. We are a kind of a Siamese twins with the river for a con necting cord. From birth Albany haa been the larger child and on several occasions when fortune seemed to smile on her has been loath to recognise or adrrit our common paternity. Now our aister means well, but whenever a new enterprise springs up in her midst her self-esteem is ant to give her the notion that she is tho hub of the universe the railway center of tho world. Site never did recognise in Corvallla a rival, but lua alwava considered us at a poor relation, and often had to condescend to notice us in commercial society. But she is outirrowinir this foolish notion The begins to realise that Corvallla keep close to her heeis in the race lor su prom acr. We have been girls together, but Albany had a change in life about two years ago and put on long dresses. She has developed into a fine looking city and her Main street commands respect, She haa readied her majority and has doffed her swaddling clothes. But we, too. are bcsinning to take the tucks out of our calicoes and some of these mora ines Albany will be proud of her twin sister aud will willingly march hand in hand throuch the aires to importance and prosperity.

School Teachers. After paying Prof Horner a compliment and remarking that Rosebur g was foolish not to ktf him a any prlcc.lhe West Side remark. "Kote burg has a gaod teacher now, but the salary he gets It a disgrace to the town and to the teaching profession. Prof J W Crawford, ot McMinnvllie, goet to Al bany. We extend our tT to these teach ers. Prof Horner receives $i7o. and Prof Crawford $1400 per annum. These are respectable salaries, and shew an ap preciation of wnit by an intelligent public.

This would make the Albany tl.ne ot leaving about 7 o'clock. which wou.d give general satisfaction. . Scio Fire Facts. An exchange givea the following in reference to the Scio mills: The Scio mills were built by McKinney & Turner sometime in 1867 and did a large business in those days in i8, JKrentiand ot The Dalles en larged and improved .them. In 1885, upon the death of K l'entland, they paused into the hands of their present owner. In connection with the mill was a large pump and tank for furnishing the town with water, also an electric light pLrnt run by the water power. D Myers pinning mm, and a wagon shop, were also furnished power. The mills had recently been rebuilt, and provided with new improved machinery, together with the addition of the plants which furnish the town with electric lights and the water power. An Erracrivr Punishment. A story comes from Yaquina City that Er nest Smith, aged 17 yeart, tried to ravish the 1 a -year old daughter of Lafe Manning. in fact the enraged lather caught the bo in the act and had ample proof to tend him to the penitentiary. But by some pe culiar compromise between the father.the Justice of the Peace and the boy's mother, legal proceedings were dropped and Mr Manning wat privileged to punish the boy at he thought best. So he took the boy 10 a seciuaea spot ana tne justice accom panied them, at a referee. He wat strip ped and lathed until hit body looked like a revised map of Africa, and altheugh the punishment wat not strictly according to the letter of the law. It was both severe and effective. Ol courte the proceeding! may have been a trlllc Irregular, but we never like to question the decree of a court, Times. A Matoblehh Crrr. A charter of Baker City provides that.

" Light, flaky and "digestible pio crust and -all kinds of fine pastry can bo made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Pow der without butter or with one half the usual portion, if pre ferred, or with a small quantity of lard or other shortening as desired. Pie crust made in this way is more wholesome and digestible besides being more economical and easier pre pared in addition to saving all the butter if desired. One-. third the flour is also dispensed with, and the crust is rolled that much thinner, the raising qualities of Dr. Price's Powder swelling it to the requisite thickness. Those who enjoy the appetizing qualities of the delicious home made pie will rejoice to know this Eecret. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is the only powder that contains the white of eggs. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia, Alum, or any other adulterant. . In fact, the purity of this ideal powder has never been questioned. ROYAL IS THO - est Baking Powder IB 1Tf CQf CRIMIIT. Hit Hon Vmeernl . , 1 rend wlih some surprise the two articles which appeared In the columns of the Herald Its; Sunday morning. While I was fully aware that the city govern ment, during the pasteear, had suffered at the hands of those tialng the oath to pro. tect It, yet 1 did not bef-re fully realize that Its' business had been carried on In so reckless and eiir-tvagant a manner. Upon Inquiry I learn that of the amount Cf Uses rccrlved by this elty, one-third It paid for electric llghlt. No regard, whaierer, wat paid to the wbhet of the people tn the locatto.t iA the bridge or to the bring of our sewers. Was there a greater financial fraud ever perpetrated upon our rf:tent than the expenditure of S 13,000 for the laying ol the Ferry street sewer? C.'crtalrilr not, when the Washington street aewer lay only two blocks awav. D1J It evcrocrur to the reader that only 6ve dwellings are drained by this new aewer that could not have been easily connected with the other i Each of these buildings (one of which It Councilman Tabler's) cost the taxpayers of Albany nearly $3,000 for the prWUrg 1 of being drained Into this tewer.

Why was a ban Francisco lawyer paid I Ho foi writing an ordinance lor the council to pats as Instructed, when our city attorney, Mr Bllreu, a perfectly com pctcnt lawyer, would have wPlinglv done t:ie woik for tlO 3.

Why la one third the ctty'a revenue paid for electric llghtt when other cities get an equal amount of light foi much less money. 5. Why was the cootract for digging the sewers taken from an Albany resident and given to a I'ortiand Arm when the Albany man a bid waa the-lowestr (. Why wat a tewer built up Ferry street at a coat of f 11,000 when only one block away another wat already built t Thete are questions that appeal directly 10 the pockets of the taxpayer and which I desire some member of the council to answer.
