The attempted assassination of Miss Ethel Riddle, at llarriaburg, mention of which was made in he Democrat last week, continues a mystery, though there are strong suspicions in the matter pointing towards tne guilty parties, it is said to the Democrat ttiata young lady, though not an immediate aggress or, was interested in the attempt. The Review aaya that '"If the suspicion of some of our most reliable citizens are well grounded, they will furnish clues, which, if well traced, bids fair to reach the guilty person and under the existing circumstances all supporters of order in society are called upon to lend their as sistance to the fullest extent in running down and capturing the subject of this criminal outrage." t The Democrat mentioned former at tempts to kill Miss Riddle. The Review refers to them as follows : One evening she was going home from the store, she had gone as far as the city hall when some one grabbed at her and she beat them off with an umbrella. The next attempt was perpetrated the last of October, two shots being fired at her as she descended the back porch steps to lock the basement door. The would-be assassin was concealed under the steps, but she was evidently closer to the building than was thought, for both shots missed; her face was powder burn-; ed. She saw a figure disappear in the ! darkness but could not tell whether it was a man or woman. The third at tempt occurred November 20 at 6:37 in the evening, Miss Kiddle opened the kitchen door to bring in her easel and was just pushing the screen door back when a club was thrown at her from the south side of the building, striking the easel and knocking it against the screen which came against her with consider able violence. She plainly saw her as sailant who was masked and wore a dark storm coat. Her wounds from the recent attempt at ner nte are described as follows: A cut on the right side of her throat abiut three inches long being just through the skin, and a similar ut on the left side of the throat about two inches long; a gash cut across the left wrist, which, if it bad been any deeper, would have severed the radial artery ; and then was made, ap parently, a thrust at the Heart, this cut her dress a distance of about six inches and struck the corset steels which de flected the course of the weapon, which barely reached the skin, leaving a scratch to snow tne dangerous location. A Practical Sermon. Rev. Little has been preaching on the commandments. Yesterday he preach ed on the eighth "thou shall not steal" and made some timely remarks for the jnnstmas season, as weu as lor ew Years resolutions. In the first place he recognized the right to gain and accum ulate property by thrift, economy and honesty. He placed within the restric tions of the commandment the following among others : Failing in business for a percentage on the dohar and saving out anything ; using money kept in trust ; taxing advantage ot those in distress: selling giods or anything by misrepre sentation : bavins goods, or contracting debts without assurance . of paying if you owe anything pay it ; don t beat merchants down below the regular price and a reasonable profit : borrowing all the money on property possible, expect ing to be foreclosed ; failing to pay when you promise, or arranging satisfactorily tor the debt ween oue; driving nam bargains; pleading poverty for special favors without reason for it; beating even railroads out of their regular rates because a corporation there is no jus tification in robbing them : getting out of paying just taxes, no one has a right to cheat the government, "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars ; fail ing to pay your lust dues to the church ; avoiding excise duties; double dealing in business, trickery, etc, particularly among christians; What is wanted to day is a practical Christianity.

Several months ago he stole a couple watches, a gun and one or two other things at llam&burg. He was afterwards seen in Albany .acknowledged his guilt, told where the gun was and gave up the watches and hence was not prosecuted. Black seems to have been a natural thief, and a peculiar thing about it is the fact that be always ad mitted it. Some time ago he stole an overcoat from a. boarder, and it was only discovered when this theft occurred ; one day he stole a couple theater tickets, which be was accused ot and gave up im mediately. A watch which he had se creted in a sewer was found. A pair of shoes in his possession had undoubtedly been taken, as well aa a number of shirts and small things belonging to Mr. How ell, tie had been working for board and accessories four months and when asked if be wasn't sorry after all the good treat ment tears came to his eyes and he ad mitted he was, probably because capt ured.

Nervousness Is only another name for impure blood, for no person is weak and ner vous whose blood is perfectly pare. When the blood is full of the germs of disease, and lacking In the red cor puscles which give it vitality, when it fails to properly nourish the organs and tissues of the body, what can you expect but that tired feeling and ner vousness? Of couree Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Catarrh and Bbeumatfsm are uni versally recognized as blood disease, for which Hood's Sarsaparilla, as the best blood purifier, is everywhere acknowled the greatest remedy. Therefore, aa Hood' Sarsaparilla cures all blood diseases, it i the best remedy for that condition of the blood which causes Nervousness. It is a false idea to think you are curinir vour nervousness when you are taking a preparation which only quiets your nerves I It is like trying to "drown" your sorrows in the flowing bowl.

Jefferson who slept in Howard & Selic's store claims that about 10 o'clock last night Tom came in the back door of the store and started a quarrel with Jefferson. The room was in dark ness and Tom drew a knife, when Jeffer son itruclc him two blows over the right ear with an iron nail puller. U. S. Grant, J. P., heard the noise in the store, went in and found Jefferson behind the counter partially dressed. Showing the nail puller Jefferson said "This is what I defended myself with." Tom was lying on the floor in front of the counter and could not speak. He i lived about 3 hours. The feeling is pret ty strong against Jefferson at Silets.

In view of the fact that not a single Albany girl wears pock ets in her stck:nga we brand it aa a libel upon the fair name of our city, which in the eyes of St Peter will be a towering mountain while Eugene will wither oelow as an insignificant . foot hill butte ; but here's the story : It is told of an Albany man that he applied to St. Peter for a cloud and a cornet. "Where are you from?" quoth the saint. "Albany," replied the newcomer 'Al bany, Oregon." "Albany Albany Not on the list," remarked St. Peter, glancing over the Heavenly register; "apply for admission downstairs." Thither went the wanderer, and at the basement door he came face to face with the evil one. The gentleman with 1 at l at. a. I the cloven foot and the antlers pnt the usual question, in reply to which the applicant again stated that he was from Albany, Oregon. "And you are from Albany?" "Yep.f' "Is that where the giris all have pock ets in their socks?" The wanderer assured his satanic majesty that he bad it right. The evil one frowned, and continued: "And you know the truth whereof you speak?" "Yes"' quoth the stranger, in fear and trembling. "Well," went on the doorkeeper, toy ing with his forked staff of office, "there is no room here for you." "Ureat Scott!" ejaculated the new comer in tones of despair; "inus I go iv aiuwujr .

Miss Ethel has many friends here. Mire Sarah Morrison, of Corvallis. is visiting her many friends here during vacation. She is attending the O. A. C. We take exceptions to the answer made by the Editor of the Dsxonur with regard to "Christmas." According to all the history we can get on the subject it is very uncertain what timr In the vear Christ was lira. The Church of Rome claims that the 25th of Decemtier was the time. Now if this can be proven to a certainty (which we doubt) why should nis touowers CDserve the anniversary of His birth? Why not celebrated the dav of Hia death? The day when he said "It is fi-d." Another question. How should Christmas be. observed? Many of our people will get drunk on that day and kill their fel'ow men, others will go to a dance and spend the night in a bois terous manner. Can He wbo said "I am the Light of the World" be honored by such conduct? The giving of gifts is all right at any time and we will not re fuse anything that is offered to us. A Mice s. BE OBSERVING.

Last night the hat slasher was again at his work in Albany, and it is believed to have been the same per son. The Deus Temps club held a ball in the opera houss. Wm Warner had charge of the dressing room in the -rear of the stage.
