"A rolling stone gathers no moss" and 'a Betting hen never get fat," are two old proverbs and we have been acting the latter for some time, but on Christ mas morning we decided to take a holi day and go to Tangent and '-paint the town red."

We .nope that he is mis'aken tor it would be rough on the other connty officials if Wheeler should be compelled to steal . The Christmas tree was well loaded with presents and the program was well per formed, specially the music.

Deputy District Attorney Porter offered no objection to the motion, saying he had been instruct ed by District Attorney Cleeton to have nothing to do with the prosecution of the case, inasmuch as the grand jury bad ex amined into the matter and failed to re port an indictment.

To-NiGHT.-The following from a Salem paper is about an entertainment that will begin a three nights engagement at the opera house to-night : Professor Zera and company gave one of his unique en tertainments last evening.which, by-the- way, was one of the nnest ot its kind ever given in Salem and deserved a bet ter ffbuse than greeted it. Prof. Zera's show we ran hear,iiy recommend to any one and especially to young peop.e. There is not one objectionable feature in connection with the entertainment, everything being rstc.as9 and it is second to none of its kind in the country.

Not a world beaUMr, for the Democrat man has seen a hog ia Oregon that weighed over 1000 pounds, but certainly very big one. There will be one assesnment in the A O V Vi for January. There is talk of a !ady minstrel enter tain merit in Albanr by local talent. A man, wife and thirteen children went through Albany this noon for Rot-eborg .None was lost. Mrs. A.

At the recent e'ection in Waterloo Chas Younger was elected mayor on the temper- anc ticker, lie may be depended upon to do his duty regardless of consequences. A CrawfordRville man marked bis tur keys. A couple of them were sold by Mr Fox, of that place, having gotten among l.ia turkeys bv accident.

Tfe burglar didn't respoud. A jacket was the nly thin i sto'en . Frontier Style in Salem. A good joke is being told on one of Marion county's officials. It seems that on Saturday evening he was out rather Lie and, accompanied by a friend, dropped in at a papular restaurant on his way home and ordered supper. While awaiting the arrival of the same, in the conversation that ensued tie exclaimed to his friend in a very cool manner. "You have not nerve enough to shoot through a fellow's hat!" Now the friend is a fellow who dislikes very much to be eoresenled as a coward and, coolly draw- '. tag a 43-calibre revolver from his pocket, pointed wiv wtnpuu nit utoirimiu nuuuio- cuarged' the same. The bullet went true t the mark and erased the scalp of the auburn-haired official uncomfortably close. The bullet found a lodging place in the wall of the restaurant. Our gen ial county official will no doubt refrain from extending such a challenge in the future, or at least will remove his hat from his head before the firearm is dis charged.--Journal.

C. & E. R. R. Co. have made contracts with the saw mills up the Santiam for 600,0p0,000 feet of lumber and timber the coming year, an indication of the extension of the road, if it proves true. Bold Paislkt Robrmv. Last Monday night Paisley was the scene of another robbery. This time the victim was Charley Campbell, the Paisley black smith. Mr. Campbell had been working rather late that night, shoeing horses for Bart Conrad and Frank Bunting, the stage men. He had finished his work and taken the boms to the barn, and on going back to the shop, two men stepped in and threw him down on his back. One band was tied to the anvil and the other to a ring in the wa'l, and he was gagged so that he could make no noise. Between $400 and $500 was taken from him. Mr. Campbell was not found until about 10 o'clock the next day, when some one heard him kicking the floor and he was rescued from bis trying pos ition, nearly frozen to death. Lake County Examiner. All Right. Zera's Royal Marionettes are all right. This was the general ver dict ot those at tn opera house last night, A clean, entertaining performance was eiven, one pleasing to people of all ages. The sleight of hand performance was first class, the ventriloquism was much the best ever heard in Albany. The special ties by the comedian and the little boy were good, receiving a aeries of encores. The exhibition of the Marionettes is an entertainmenment in itself and keeps an audience in a roar of laughter. The man ner in which the figures are manipulated is decidedly mystifying. The company deserves a liberal patronage. There wil'l be exhibitions with new features tonight and tomorrow night, and a matinee to morrow afternoon. Let the children see it. Admission only 10, 20 and 30 cents. OftBGOX DnCtfKRS.

Misa Yaw waa greatly appreciated in Salem by those tortunate in hearing her; but Salem is too small for one of Mbs Yaw's stand ing. She was all that was expected of her, a wonderful vocalist in the range of the voice and marked in its culture and quality. Patton Bros, should be encour aged more by the people of that city for their great enterprise in getting a con cert of the rarity f Miss Yaw's. Those who attended will have occasion to re member the fact. Pbixbviii.es Election. 151 voles were cist in the Prineville election last week. G.
