Weskt.t Dkmocrat. $1.75 per year n advance. $2.00 at end of year. Z How It HarPKNkD. Saturday evening the Democrat mentioned an accident to Mr Alex Brandon, the particulars of which had not been received. Mr Bran don was attempting to put a halter on a young colt on hie farm near Plainview, when the colt turned and kicked Mr Brandon hitting him in the face, crash ing the frontal and nasal bones. He ..was taken unconscious to his home and iTMastonof this city and Dr J B nenry sent for. They attended him as soon as possible. The brain was re lieved of the pressure and the wound dressed. Mr Brandon is lying in a critic al condition. His recovery is an uncertain event. He is a pioneer of Linn county, an ex county commissioner and a man of sterling worth . His friends will uni -versally hope for his speedy recovery. Wdi rl just received from Mr Brandon is that he is improving, and is able to talk and recognize those around him. A Wonderful Difference. The fol lowing should make Oregonians think they are the paradise of low taxes: Washington raises $7 of state taxes where Oregon raises $1, and Spokane county raises proportionately $40 where Multnomah county raises $10 of taxes lor county purposes. At first it would seem that this wide difference would al most be impossible in states lying side by side, with resources almost identical. An intelligent idea of this difference, however, can be had from a study of the governments and statutes of the two states. Geo W Belt formerly district attorney of this district said on the sub ject: "Our taxes a:e something stupend ous and something mast be done for re lief. By all means let something be done. We can't stand the present con dition of affairs much longer. When taxes get to be five pei cent of the real value of our property we will either -have to reduce them or leave the state."

Dratii ry Culori jo (. r tome time past, the six-yes old on of George Lyons has been suffer g rom hip joint troubles which finally bro e into a tun ning sore, the bones l com ig decayed. As a last resort in ei eav ring to eave the fellows life an opei tio 1 for the re moval of the diseased ort n was performed- It was done l On Paine & Kuykendall, assisted by Dr T W Harris. When the operation was a tout concluded it was noticed that breathing had stop ped. Artificial respiration was at once resorted to and kept up for ac hour, and heart stimulants were also administered, but all to no avail. Death from chloro form is comparatively rare bat its use is always accompanied with some risk. Eugene Guard. How Ha Was Killed. The Toledo Post gives the following accouut of the death of Wm Hosier, mentioned a few days ago: Wm Mosier, an employe at Pioneer Rockquarry, was crushed to death by the fall of the mast for a new derrick being erected at the quarry, on Wednesday. The mast which did the work (a log about three feet in diameter) was being hauled up a steep hill-side when the rope broke, the men all jump ed ont of the way of the log which was descending to the railway track below almost with lightning rapidity, save Mosier, who was caught between the mast and cars and mashed to death in tbe twinkling of an eyr. White vs Metzoab. Fire matters are assuming some of their old time liveli ness. At tbe regular meeting of Albany Engine Co No 1 held Thursday evening Mr J W White, one of the moat active members, paid the president, Mr Charles Metzgar, his compliments, and was fined 50 cents; they were repeated with inter est and another fine imposed. Amotion was made to make the fine 5 a hen the trouble was stopped for the time being. This noon Metzgar and White met in .front of the Rasss House. The latter tootinued his remarks of Thursday even ing, when Mr Metzgar sent out one of his famous shoulder shotaand Mr White sat down on the sidewalk. Farther trouble was prevented by friends. Next Saturday. Considerable in. terst is being taken in the con ing fcot ball game between the Salem Y M C A and the Albany team, at Salem on next Saturday.

Jiff by Odds. The matter Df select ing a state flower is again oeing agitated. ' At Hood River some two years ago the state horticultural society selected tbe ' Oregon grape as being peculiarly fitted .for this p. ace of honor, but now some of uhe esthete want something else. If it is absolutely necessary that tbe state have a sower all its own, we suggest that stick by the Oregon grape, unless iDdeed Jeff Myers can be persuaded to accept he position. The Dalles Chronical. Councilman Iv'ein, of Salem, is in the city. Thomas Monteith, postmaster at Al bany, was an overland passenger for home last evening after a pleasant visit among friends here. Salem Statesman. 0 Scherlburg. at one time a resident of the jail at Hillsboro and afterwards in the insane' asylum for a while, is now a lieutentant in the Japanese navy, his mind being all right.

Each gentleman will draw a number and take the young lady holding the corresponding number to lunch, pay ing for her according to her bight. G B Height has returned from the Bay, Mr WN Miller, who was with him, writes that there has been a tremendous storm there, and that the cottage on Nye Creek in which he was temporarily living was trembling like a cat with a fit. Allan R Slauscn, well known in the Northwest as a newspaper writer of muck note, is still in Washington City, where he is reporting the proceedings of the senate this winter for the Washington News in addition to his work as corres pondent of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Ex. Dr Collins, a graduate of the American college of Dental Surgery, of Chicago has formed a partnership with Dr Littler of this city, making a strong and reliable firm, whom the public mav have no hesitency in patronizing. Dr Collins comes well recomnended with six years of experience. The Cottage Grove correspondent of the Eugene Register says : Our genial lawyer, W H (jooper, who opened an office here this fall, went to Albany Sun day, returning Tuesday bringing his family with him. They are keeping house in Mr Stoffers house and wiU make a fine addition to the society of our town. Joaquin Miller, the Poet of the Sierras, and George Partington, an artist of note, have engaged passage on the next steamer to sail (or Honolulu.

Maj H M Thornton left on the over land this morning for Syracuse, N Y, where he will reside with a daughter-in-law. Maj Thornton formerly resided at Danville, Pen n. He was a resident of Albany for ten years, always boarding at tbe Revere House, where he had the same room and the same place at the table. The Democrat predicts his re turn to Oregon after one winter in tbe east. The uncertainty of life has been brought very forcibly to the mind of the Man about Town. Three weeks ago his cousin, Charles Pike, of Rochester, N , was an example of health and physical perfection. For ihree seasons he had held the champion amateur athletic medal of that city of amateur ath'etee. He was taken with typhoid fever and died in a week. Besides h:a prominence as an athlete he was a member of the republican cuun.y committee, and an employee in tbe Water Works office. ihoueh unknown here ot course. THE DICKENS CARNIVAL.

A correondent of the Salem Journal says: L M Ornsby, of Silver Creek, is tbe hero of these part just at present, and the cause of his glory is the killing of one ot the largest cougars ever seen in the state. For several weeks past sheep men have boen pestered nearly to loath by the depredations of a mountain lion or cougar of tremendous size.

Why Was It that Arer'a Harsaparllla, out of the great irimber of similar preparations manufac tured throughout the world, was the only medicine ot the kind admitted at the World's Fair, Chicago?

The backingout was on tbe part ol Mr Martin On Oct 7tb be wrote reterring to a proposed lour hand ed match between himself, Moore, Kin zel and Meeks, and adding: 1 don t think a shoot of this kind can be arrang ed. 11 you can fix things satisfactory with all tbe boys all right, but if not 1 will tboot k r Meeks under these condi tions: Twenty-five (25j live birds for twenty five dollars, ($25) a side, match to take place at tbe race trac, gate re ceipt equally divideJ.

''That was plain enough that Albany was to furnish onl the birds, which was done. On Nov 7th Mar tin sent an agreement ol which the fol lowing is the body : I . w h Martin have this day deposited with Fleming A Gii son, of McMinnville, Oregon, the sum of $25 to be shot for at Albany on the race track, on any day hereafter to be agreed upon, for a purse o! $50, $25 a side.

The attendance at tbe grounds was small, the contest not having been Iver tised and Martin refused to put up the money and nowithstandtag the contract claimed expenses, evidently as an excuse, and tbe contest was declared off.
