The Guard says : Constable Dan Linton noticed a man near the (Jalef place Mon day that answered the description of Bill Brown, alias Jack Brady, the murderer of Sheriff Bogard,of Tehama county, Cat. The individual kept his eye on Linton and his right hand suspiciously deep down in his coat pocket. Afterward he went to Mr. Calet's house and got his dinner, eating with his left hand and never taking the other hand out of his coat pocket. The man was seen by sev eral other persons and they all agree that his description answers that of the mur derer wanted. -Last evening M. V. Mc Murrv and Blufcrd Deadmond left here heavily armed to arrest the man and bring htm in, if he is to be found, when the mystery will be solved. . McMurry returned this afternoon and states that they found the man near Coburg. They examined him carefully and state that he answers the description exceuting in height and sixe of feet . lie lias been roaming around the country and acting in a suspicious manner, tie told a num ber of different stones, claiming to have come from the mines in Southern Ore gon. The man seen by Wilson was a differ ent man, in fact could'nt have been the same. The description of the man seen last at Sledd is very correct. School Hoi sk Blown- Up. The Ping Yang school house was located in the Mohawk valley about 10 or 13 miles east of this city. It is a new district, hi. -ing recently oeen estauusea. Since iu es tablishment there has been considerable animosity in tne district over the loca tion of the school house .and other thinea The building was a comparatively new one. thousrh builtjon a cheaD nlan. the contract price being 1300. About two months acoan attempt was made to burn the school house bv niacin? a can of cnal oil on the floor and" petting fire to it; but the scheme tailed and tbe nre went out without consuming the oil. Last nieht at 10 o'clock a second attempt was made to destroy the building and this time with better success. Several sticks of dyna mited were placed under the house'and exploded, with the result that the build ing was completely demolished. School house, books and furniture quit the hitherto quiet regions of Ping Vang bv the npwatd ronte. The explosion was neara tor miles about. fcugene Uoard. A Liv Rchawat occurred this fore noon. . G. S. Acheson's drav team started from near the Magnolia Mills and ran east along First street. Geo. ilugbes and J. F. Troutman's tisms were in iront of V. C. Davis' just eurting to take a load of furniture. Mr. Troatman jumpad upon the Hughes dray and tried to get the team out of the way. The dray was hit a pretty solid blow, tnd the horses almost knocked down, while Mr. Trout man hardly knew where he was for awhile. The shock had nearly stopped the Acheron team and a man jumping to their heads completed the drama. Little damage was done, though it looked as if everything had been smashed to pieces for a moment. Horse Matters. On June 15 a rare baa been Arranged between the hones of Chas. Barrows, J. M. Ralston and Wes Shannon. It promises to be a live one. Mr. las Wilson has alio pxtxl his 1 100 for the race between his bora and that of J. H Howard and tb contest will come off on Saturday May 11 . The Howard -Wilson race is to be best 2 in 3 if trotted. Mr. Howard, though, wishes to trot best 3 in 5. Mr. Oley Wood worth has sold his trot ter to Mr. J. A. Cnmming. It is a Del Norte and is well built for speed. A Mores Stout. An exciting affair occurred this forenoon at the Mcllwain tore. A mouse had been caught and placed in the stove, and arrangements were being ruadc by D. W. Rumbaugh to cremate the captive, when the little fellow escaped by the lower opening of the stove and immediately sought refuge up Mr. Rambaugh'a pants legs, inside. The scene that followed, like all such scenes, was pronounced better than a circus. The uiouse was finally caught and killed before it saw daylight. Tax IssTnTTx. Over 100 teachers were present at the institute today. Work was begun at 8:30 o'clock, in two de partments, grammar and primary. In the former, both morning and afternoon, grammar, historv and arithmetic were considered. In tbe latter reading, num bers, drawing, writing, geoirraphy and psychology were taught. It is desired to give teachers a more thorough under' standing tjf class work. To-night State Superintendent Irwin will deliver an ad dress, at the coLege, to which all are in vited.

A general invitation is extended to all to be present and enjoy a pleasant evening. Speaking of the s'ory of Tom Miliums, who went to Portland yesterday to give bis experience with Brady the Uain robber. the Oregonian says: "Not much credit is attached to the story of Williams, although there is a possibility that he is telling the 'ruth. One point in hit favor is that he readily picked oat a picture of Brady from a lot ot pnotograpbs laid before mm. The recent sale of tbe Matthews & Wash- ourn's stock has been declared off and another will be made on May 11. J he lottery business has now Men com pletely knocked ou'.

An Albany Man Among Many Rheumatics. Byron IIotSpkinus, Oil., April 22, '05. cauor Vemoet at. XI .,,.1,.. .1 . .... ... Bunieuiing mat 1 ntigut say would prove of interest to the read ers 01 the Democrat, and that is the ex CUSe for Writinu Hit Jft Albany on Monday, April 15. at 10:2a o'clock p. m. and arrived at these springs, Wednesday. Anril 17. at KnYIn, U a. ni., making the whota trip without changing trains. It might beof interest to say that the overland trains from Ore gon come to Sacramento.thence to Stock ton ana on to Ijtthrop and thence on to these spring, which are two miles from the station known as Byron. Many peo- ls wnw iiere 10 no curat ot various dis eases, but nine-tenths of these who are here now are rheumatics. Some have sciatica, some muscular and some in flammatory rheumatism. All hero are Calitorniaus except about three. Two are trom Portland and one was from Pendleton, but left a few davs ago with out having received anv relief. Poor follow, he suffered untold agonies, not being able to sleep at night. Others get some relief. The writer is ntcased to sav that he has already been materially ben- euuea ana hopes to he cureu. ine treat ment here consists in taking hot salt water baths once a day for some six or eight days, as the nature of the case mav require. After which the treatment is continued and completed with hot mud mining, utcii patient expnrieu to bathe in the hot salt water for ten min utes, (the writer very modestly extended the time to fifteen or eighteen minutes, to the great uisgunt ot Uie Japanese batn manager.) After bathing in the hot water the patient is wrauned closelr in blankets, given quart bottle filled with white sulphur water." and directed to drink it freely, and many drink it all, notwithstanding it has a most distrust ing taste. litre no is instructed to re main 30 minutes, but manv of us extend the time to lortv and even hftv minutes. To say that one perspires does not con vey a very accurate idea of the profusion of water that escapes from the bod v. Blankets will be quite wet. as though dipped in a stream. This may be better unuerstooa When me lacl is made known that the temperature of the hot salt water is about 1 15 degrees, and manv patients bathe in it when reduced only to 1 10 and 112. A man's flesh, (and a woman's too, we suppose, looks as red as a beefsteak upon coming out of the water. After coming out of the blanket one will sweat from 15 to 20 minntes. The charge for board and lodging, which includes all bathing privilev'ea (esceut blankets) and drinking the mineral watew, and advice trom the resident physician, is 1 J to (JO per week. They have a great variety of springs, such as "Liver and Kidnev Spring," "Hot Salt Spring," "Black Sul phur Spring," "White Sulphur Spring," The hurpnse Spring." "Hot Mud Spring," "Iron Spring," ete. Since I came here the weather has been roost beautiful and sunshiny. Thee sprinirs are in the Joaquin valley, 35 mile south west of Stocktoa in OomraCoeta county, a distance ot 635 miles by rail from Al bany and 6S miles bv rail east of San Francisco. Hav harvest in these parts is in full blast. Veople tell me the wheat crop in this valley will be fairlv good. As tne reatier has already interred, rheuma tism here is prevalent as in Oreirm. 1 Rheumatics are here from San Jose. Tu lare, Napa, Sacramento, Saa Leandro, San Francisco and other parts and tell the tale of rheumatism. Just think ol from 30 to 50 victims of rheumatism al together at one hotel. Imagine vou see them start single file down to the dining room, through a hall 350 feet lone, and each one with his own peculiar limp. Pour leiiows, were it not so serious tt would lie a most ludicrous scene. But the writer always suppresses a smile when he see tnem lor he has tbe most lively recollec tion of recent experiences. But 1st down thinking I would write half a col umn but here I have drawn out to a column and must close. T. J. Srnxs. Dr. Gaff was in the city today on his way to Eugene. Mr. W. C. Davis is movine into the Geo. E. Cbamberlin residence. Dr. G. W. Maston and O. A. Archi bald were in Portland yesterday. Dr. Cox and family, of Brownsville, were in Albany today on their way to Chicago on a visit. Hon. M. A.

Mr. A. D. Barker returned this morn ing from a visit with his wife and daugh ter at Ashland, and son Jesse at Horn- brook. In making the trip to the latter place he crossed the S'skiyous. In his in imitable style Mr. Baker tells of a thrill ing experience, a very close call to a ter rible accident, one that would have been as serious as that of a snake swallowing iUelf tail first. The train was a very long freight, drawn by three engines, Mr. Barker can tell vou how long. In doing the horse shoe the engine came within an ace of running into the caboose and knocking the whole train down a high precipice. Mr. Barker escaped alive. The Ladies Auxiliary to the Y. M. 0.

FEIDAT 1I SKY'S WANDERINGS. He Docs Eastern OrcKoitnnd Hunt Gold IdiR. To those eastern i'oplo who have an inclination to livo on climate, and are cpecurian in their taste to the extent of craving a diversified diet, I would rec ommend Eastern Oregon, as holding out more induciieftUi than California. They carihave the bjtiojy breeze of the Alpine mountains, thW glorious sunlight of Ital ian skies; and an hour later can dodge snow flakes. Then by way of variety, they.can don mackintoshes and over shoes, ami slop through rain and slush. As soon as the reourref Jkis favored country are better known there will doubtless lie a boom. linker City is to Eastern Oregon what Portland is to the northwest. It is the distributing point for all the rich mining country which surrounds it.

While making the stage trip to the Baislev-Klkliorn mim I tmii.-e.! at arrow road the guide board "I'ocahontis 3 m." Never having heard of the place my cur iosity led me to question the driver. He informed me that vears ago there was a flourishing town at the !'l of the moun tain. It was a fuli-tlclvv. mining toan, and in its palmy itays, ima-t.vl of three hotels, three or four Use stores, and the required number ot saloons, fecdslabless. etc., and had a population of 5.0UO.

Moore was arrested across the river while at tempting to escaw ; but Fennell succeed ed in escaping. He spent la.t niht in Albany and was seen to skip out this morning, going r.ortn. Moore was ex amined before Justice Freerkscn at the court house thU forenoon. The testi mony of the prosecuting witnes." went to show a very mixed state of affairs. He came from Corvallis in a carriage with voumr Moore. Thev mot Fennell and the three were at a couple of saloons together. Bishop was evidently too Irunk to know whore. Moore got a twenty changed for hint and Bihop claims only gave back $H, which disap peared alter an expenem-e in the rear room of one of the saloons, about w hich Bishop knew nothing.

Culducll TclU About it Him eir. Mi. Albaxt, Or., April 25th, 1895. Editor Democrat : If you will give mo space in your val uable paper I will give you my exper ienco in the tin box swindle. On Fri day, 18th, of this month, Judge lSlack of Seattle and Dr. Uorden of the same place, came to my place to buy land (1 give the names as given to me, of course they are fictitious.) 1 J felt somewhat elated to deal with such prominent men. Judge lUack represented to me that Dr. Uor den had just sold a patent in dentistry for $.100,000, and got the ca.sh,irti want ed to buy from 800 to 1000 acres of land and pay cash down. Well, of course, that suited me, so I told them 1 would sell 7tt5 acres at $35 per acre if they tojk - all. so .wo looked over part ot the land, was well ..." s picasou with it, ana would come bock next morning. Next morning they were li-k by 8 o'clock, so we started gut to look again. About a mile from the house w e met a man in the road, he spoke and wanted to know if we had met a wagon. We told him we hail not, then he said he wu an agent of the Louisiana Lottery Co. and was going round through tbe country to advertise it among tee farmers and threw each of us a bill. I told him 1 did not want anything to do with it but it-oi tne nut m my nana, iiewuuiea to know if we knew how the drawing was done. I did not of course. He got some cards,out and said he would show ui and shuffled his cards. Dr. Uorden drew and got a $5 prize, so he handed him a $5 gold iiiece and Judge Black drew and got nothing, so I drew, got $5 iirize si he gave me a $ piece, and then he said there was a $:000 prise and that draw went round. Dr. Uordan drawing l-aXtO, Judge Black drew a blank, I drew $.'S0tft. 1 le handed out each of ue a role of green hacks and said there was $3000 in each, then he wanted our names to put in the paper to advertise the comp any. 1 told him to take his money; he could not get my name so the draw ended, but Judge Black and Uorden spent 3 hours or more. After looking at the land they were well pleased with it, so they bonght it, and Ir. Uorden was U fetch his eister out in the after noon and make a ymenl on the land, and I gave her a receipt. I asked him if they could not fetch a bank check, he said ves, aa I did not keep money about tbe houe. So that is the hut I have seen of them. Thev were arrested in Portland that night and have been taken to Cal ifornia lor a like game they played there, ana got ol a man. V. II. Old sua. Ou ttic arrath.
