THE LEGISLATURE.
E. U. Will
Albany
The following from the Salem Journal
is about a man who once stopped for
awhile in Albany :
Tom McXary, the deputy sergeant-at-1 organization out
arms and special policeman who tried to ,
stop Temporary speaker Davis when be
attempted to ascend to the speaker's
chair Friday, is well known throughout
the Willamette valley and especially in
the smaller towns in the southern part
of the valley. He nsed to be a notorious
fighter. .He was a logger by profession
and nsed to come to Brownsville, Albany,
Harrisburg, Junction or Eugene aud load
up with red liquor and take the town by
storm. Once while terrorising the peo-
piiot junction uity two policemen tried
to arrest him and with his great strength
he took one in each hand and shook
them and took away their pistols and
then tied a pair of red flannei nnder
drawers around his neck and walked np
and down the main street of the town
laughing at' the police force and authori
ties of the town. Once after one of these
big te m at Albany Torn got "snakes"
and tried the suicide cure but only suc
ceeded in cutting his windpipe and the
doctors sewed np bis throat and te
got well. He was declared a common
irunk by the town council of Salem
some years ago and since then he has
been pretty peaceable. Tom is a good
fellow bat notorious as a hard man to
handle. He is well chosen as a captain
of the ten special assistant sergeant-ai-arma.
some of wlom the Benson-Mitch-.l
rump crowd are employing t carry
out their measures. It is not kno tn
which side Tom McXary is oa, but it is
certain that the ten men are only de'ail
ed to do duty under instructions and are
paid to do their duty and no one should
reflect upon them as men.
A correspondent in the Staesman
speaking of a somewhat similar sketc'j
in the Oregonian says: Of all the cow
ardly and malicious attacks made by the
Oregonian with its indiscriminate men
dacity the past few weeks, the meanest
is that concerning one ol the men em
ployed as epecial officer at the state
house by the organized house to protect
its peace and dignity. This man was
doiog his duty in a gentlemanly way
and is kuown in this city as a thorough
ly reliable, honest man, taithfu! to his
friends and to his duties, quiet ai.d or
derly, Bober and industrious, anl I am
willing to lay a waeer that there is not a
man connected with the Oregonian wto
nas oeen so long without touching beer,
wine, whiskey or other intoxicating bev
erage as this same Tom McXarv, who
has been entirely free from it for nearly
three years. He is not a rich man, but
tnatis no reason why he should be
abused by a prejudiced writer.

Our schools are a credit to Albany and i
Bnould oe uoerally sustained.
The following letter received by Prof.
Tvreefrom President C. H Chapman
of the State University, emphasizes the
propriety of giving oar schools our be&t
support:
I am very much obliged to you for the
Statistics which you sent me concerning
jour school. I have computed the num
ber of our credits which your work eu'ns
and it foots up forty-five if we include
tbe two years of Latin which you have
planned. I wish to compliment you np
on the prominecce which you give to
English Literature and Composition. I
am also g'ad that you do so much work
in Algebra and Geometry. It is much
better for students to spend th&ir time
upon these studies than to waste it grind
ing out useless problems in arithmetic.
Your course is among the best in the
state and there are only two or three
schools which earn more credits than
you do. When they earn more it is be
couse they have a longer coarse. I am
glad your work is so prosperous and I
think it is greatly to the credit of the
citizens of Albany that they sustain as
they do tbe grand work which too are
doing. I am making frequent reference
to tbe activity of Albany in public school
matters in my addresses in different
parts of the state. I do not know of any
better advertisement for a town than to
become widely known as a good school
town. No other one thing is so attrac
tive to the best claas of immigrants.
Representative Smith spent Sunday in
Albany. He proposes to continue in
tbe contest against the organization of
the house in the interest of J. H. Mitch
ell. Mrs. Bert Gaukle, years ago a typo on
the Democbat, returned last Saturday to
her home in Portland af:er a visit with
her mother Mrs. Enos and Albany
friend.
Mr Phil Cohen of this city was among
those attending the Etate legislature last
week. Among the important bil?s Mr.
Cohen believes should pass is one mak
ing stockholders individually responsible
for the debts of a corporation, certainly a
meritorious measure.
A live company of boys and girls held
a delightful mask party Saturday even
ing at the home of Hockey Mason. Some
pleasing and tasty costumes were seen,
troui Liu la Lord Fontleroy to genuine
fairies. All declared it to be a great
juvenile success.
Word has been received of the safe ar
ar rival of O. F. Paxton at Hot Springs
yesttrday, whither he had gone with
the hope of securing relief from rheuma

escapes while en route from San Fran

wrecked bv the Berkeley local itist out
