Newspaper Page Text8ftr mnmt LGCAL RECORD Slate Writing is one of the mysteries of the day. While most people believe there is some kind of a trick to it, it nevertheless puzzles. A peculiar inci dent happened at a meeting: of the Yamhill Spiritualist Society. When the lecturer, Mrs Brown, was about to pro ceed with the slate writing test, she called as one of five of a committee to watch her, a gentleman who was brim full of suspicion and cunning, vfhen Mrs Brown exhibited her liht silicate slat to show that it had not been pre pared, the gentleman referred to startled her by asking if she would use a slate he had brought with him. The medium faltered a moment and said that the new slate was too heavy for her to hold ten minutes under the table, and she pre ferred the silicate. At anv rate she would use the latter first and if the spirits wanted the other they could say so. So the test was made with the usual result accompanied with a request for the other slate. This was used on the second teat and to the surprise of the incredulous committeeman a message was received which was recognized by a person present. This was a clincher. Not Ghosts.-The Stajrton Times tells the following : The gro wn up boys of this community are now making fun for the.vitelves by visiting (he premises of J W Taylor, about two miles north of Sub limity where it It alleged a real ghost makes lis nightly appearance. Messrs Bert Magers, Wm Wlmer and Joe Kearns mounted their cavusee one evening last week.and went out to spend a nl ht in this terror-stricken neighborhood and try their luck at catching spooks. Near the ruins of a forsaken, woe-begone old building whose moss covered roof end rickety frame wonld Invite the habitation of noth ing but bats, owls and whlppor-willa, those noctural birds that seek the solitudes not frequented by man, these heroes with dauntless courage pitched their tent. Here in the dead still hours of night they saw and heard the ghost . They saw a man waking across the field carrying a lantern and thev heard a cow walk over a stack of beards, and these thoughtless boys deprived the ghost story of its favor by telling their experience. There are really people who half way believe the Taylor place is haunted with some mys terious beings. Probtk Record. W W Parrish was appointed administrator of the estate of H A McCartney.

Mr Box is a member of the force at the Pendleton roller mill, where he baa been known to have sown sacks faster than a book agent can talk. Re cently a gentlemman named L Ma- haffey came over from La Grande and called upon Mr Box in aoswer to a pub lished challenge Mr Mahaffey is some thing of a sack-sower himself. Saturday evening an agreement was drawn in Parkes A Bentley's office and it has now been signed.

Senator Myers enjoys the unusuil distinction of having a bill approved by the governor. It is tne one requiring receivers to issue certifi cates of indebtedness to employes for wages due. It provides that whenever the business or property of any person, company or corporation it placed in the hands of a receiver, whether upon fore doseure or creditors' bill, the receiver must at once report to the operating judi catory the various amounts owing b the firm to its emyloyes. The court must then order the receiver to pay out .f the receipts and earnings thus coming into his hand,alter satisfying thd current expenses all wages and earnings of employes and loborers accrued six menthes prior to his accession. The receiver must also be or dered to pay the employes their current wages every 30 days. If he does not take in mor.ey enongh to satisfy these claims, he must issue certificates of such indebted ness, to draw interest at 8 per cent per an num. The act is now In force. The Play "New Edgewood Folks" is a comedy of American life, making no pretentions to elaborateness or high finish but pleasant and entertaining and free from the extravagance,coartness and utter absurdity which make up the stock In trade of to much that Is called modern comedy. Mr Heywxtd's specialties are strong on the thresd of the story, with a good deal more consistency snd natural ness thsn ts common where anything of the kind is attempted. They aie made to bear a part in the unfolding of the plot, and so have some excuse for their exist ence. There is nobody on the stage who can ting a comic song with quite such facile neatness, and certainly nobcJv who so unmistanably enters into the spirit snd meaning of his work so heartily as Mr Hey wood. Rev. H. M. Waller, of the Christian church, died at his home in Albany Satur day night, of heart disease, at the age of 75 years. He had given up active work some time ago. and was passing the clos ing yesrs of his life in an unostentatious manner. Rev. Waller was born In Indiana Sept. 9th, i&i7,and began preaching while vounp. teaching school at the lime time. He came to Oregon in 1847 as a missionary and settled nesr Monmouth, Pols, county. where he has since resided until a year or two ago, when he moved to Albany. He assisted In organising the first church of he DltclDles of Christ on the cosst. He was married in 1850 to Mary E Davidson, and tlx childien, five of whom are living, blessed the union. Rev. Waller was a man of sterling. Christian character, and leaves many in Oregon to mourn his desth.

The Man About Town has tramped over its provisions and judges that the county assessor does all the assessing for the county, cities and school district, extra columns being introduced in this roll to keep the figures distinct. .When com pleted the county clerk shall compute the aggregate value in each of the in corporated cities and in the school dis tricts, the cities arranged alphabetically, and school districts accordina to number, a certified copy of which must be turn ished the recorder or school clerk on application, and the city and district must notify the county clerk of the amount of the tax levy made before Feb ruary 1st of each year. AH such taxes shall be collected by the same officer in the same manner and at the same time as taxes for county purposes are collect ed. It shall be the duty of the tax collector to pay to the county treasurer as often as once a week all taxes collected and he shall inform the treasurer when ever he pays over to him any of the money so collected what amounts thereof shall be credited to the several funds for which they are respectively collected, taking the receipt of the treasurer iu triplicate for the receipts paid to each fund.one of which receipts for each fund he shall retain, file one with the clerk of the county court, and furnish one to the school district, town or citv for which each of such amounts are naid in.

Terminal Rites.--Last night a peti tion signed by the businsss men of Al bany generally, and a resolution of the board of trade, were sent to the S P officials to meet this eek in convention to arrange rates at Sacramento. Caiif They asked that Albany be given ter minal rate. The importance of this movement can hardly be estimated. It granted, as then is a good prospect of its being done, it would mean thousands of dollars benefit to our city Already we enjoy privilege in reference to rates; but this would give us an additional ad vantage, one that Albany by reason of her central location and commercial in terests is entitled to. Albany is destined to be a wholesale city, and should begin early in gaining such a foothold as will place her on commercial equality with any city on the coast. This move is in the right direction and should not be dropped until the object is secured. The First Game of ban ball of the season was played In the Third Ward Saturday afternoon between the Blue Bells and the Burkharts. It was business from the start.

MURDER AT LEBANON Jo tUrubbe that ikrottfh the by Mors Waaaotn, art by Lebanon was thrown into excitement last Monday by the report of a murder, which first accounts pronounce a cold blooded affair. Further particulars may change the aspect of the case, though the indications are otherwise. Accounts of murders are always confusing, and never lose t hut aspect on trial. Those given of this unfortunate affair ate as follows. Several months ago.somewhore near a year, Morg Wassom, a son of Jonathan Wassom, one of the wealthy citizens of the county, a young man about 36 years of age, and Joe Grubbe, one ot the two saloon keepers of Lebanon, bad a quarrel in the letters saloon, resulting in Waasom'a being ejected from the place. Wassom never entered the saloon again, until 2 o'clock this morning. Af ter spending the night, mostly at V.'m Gny's saloon, and, when somewhat in toxicated, just how much, as in all such cases ii not satisfactorily agreed updti, aesem went to unions s saioon none. Mr Grubbe was behind the bar, while M S Wallia. a Portland liquor drumraer.and J Moraholder, of Lebanen were in front, it is said playing tarda, wassom re- marked: "1 understand you have been I blowing about putting me out of your saloon. If you'll come out in front we'll j settle the matter." Grubbe said bis place was behind the bar, where he would stay. Wassom was quieted down and treated the crowd, and Grubbe did the same, coming out from behind the bar, with the others. When just outside the front door Wassom suddenly drew a re- volverand fired without warning.h.tting Grubbe in the heart, and the man fell a j corpse in the door.

Morg Wassom waa brought to Albany last night and placed in tbe county jail, having waived exami nation before the justice at Lebanon, being held without bail for the grand jury. Tbe evidence before tbe coroner waa suoeiantiaiiA as siatoo oy uie um mocbat, wbich, though, gave two names wrong. The liquor drummer present at the shooting was W H Carroll, ot San Francisco, and not Smeed Wallis, who, though, waa In Lebanon at the time, and Wassom had been drinking at tbe saloon of JC Mayer instead ef tV H Guy's During the shooting Moesholder and Carroll were sitting by a stove in the rear ot tne saioon. alter having a rant with Wassom and Grubbe as stated. Wassom drew his revolver while Grubbe waa at the end ot hie bar, and the latter followed Wassom to the door, endeavor ing to take it from him . When just out side the door Wassom fired, bitting Grubbe near the nipple, severing the aorta artery, and the dying man only gasped once or twice, and was dead when Moesholder and Carroll reached tbe door. They did not see the shot fired. A Democrat man called on Mr Wassom at the jail . since the affair he has been sick at his stomach, and not only looks bad, but dejected. He said he would make no statement at all. The sentiment at Lebanon is against him. At the same time Urubbes record is not tbe beet, which, though, what ever it ia, has little to do with this case.
