B Dunn was hold of the throttle this morning between 4 and 5 o'clock when the motor went oat to meet the morning overland from the south. At the Alb any Brewery the motor goes out on the Y to the east and backs up to the depot. Instead of doing so at ths time the en gino went straight ahead while the car turned up the Y, resulting in both being pulled from the trak and p'owing through the ground, almost overturning the engine, but fortunately for the en gineer not doinsr so. Aa the motor was 1 going slowly no serious result followed. : Upon examination it was found that the switch had been turned and nacked with mud. Aa the engine passed upon it, it equshed the mud out, making it spring to its place aa the car reached it. thus making one go on one tr-ck and the other on the other. It may and pos sibly was done as an April joke. If the car had followed straight ahead there would have been some one fooled ; but aa it turned out it was a close call Xa a serious accident. SGth Birthday To-day. Albasy, Or., April 1, 1S97. Editor Democrat: Eighty-six years ago to-day my mother Mary Richardson Walker was born at Baldwin, Maine. She married my fa ther March 5, 1SS8, and that same dav they started on their bridal tour that did not end until they reached Waiilit-pu, v. 1 1. u uui; .nun u n i. uuui.u a lUisaiutit August 29, 1838. The journey from the Missouri liver to Whitman's was made on horseback. My father. Rev, Elkanah Walker, died Nov. 21, 1877, aged 72. My mother still lives at Forest Grove, phvsiraliy quite strong but her mind has sadly failed. There was a terrible strain on that mind through those early years. She often laid awake night's crossing the plains expecting to hear the war whooD of hostile savages. It .was a terrible blow to us when the news came of the Whitman massacre. I well remember the evening of Dec 1. 1846. when one of our Spokane Indians brought tte tidings. wuh'u came in a note sent oack by j. u. Stanlev. who had left onr mission at Tshimakani for Whitman's to paint the portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Whitman. He narrewly escaped being murdered when wittiin a tew miles of hitman and sent back his Indian guide with this note. Ctrcs H. Walker. Dcrand Plbad UciLityw From last evening's Telegram : The aged and sanc timonious Ezra Durand baa given op. After carefully thinking it all over, the swindler of many thousands baa chang ed his mind about everything coming out alt right. Da rand was arraigned in the criminal court this morning, to make b:s plea on the indictments for forgeries of two notes in 1891. To the surpr.se of the court and counsel, he pleaded guilty to the charge He will be sentence! in i few days. The two forgeries on which the late indictments were returned were for the amounts of f 1000 and $160. re spectively. The $1000 note was signed by S. E. Paddoctc and Mrs. Harriet Pad deck, and passed on Lent fc McUret r. The note for $1620 was passe i on H. C. Prince, and was signed by W. A. Car rie and D.O.Carrie. It is expected that Durand, despite his age, will get a long term in the peaitentiary for hit maay crimes It ts pretty authorita tively stated that Darand's forgeries ag gregated $100,000 during the years he was in business here. Every cent of it seems to have ilipped through his fin gers as easily and qiickly M it cime.and be is now absolutaly broke with no mon ey to fight the matter. Trnt AssrAL Brsrczs meeting of the U.

Judge Ilewitt this morning rendered a decision that will save the city of Albany about 1,500. In the case of D. B. Mon teithogtE. A. Parker, city treasurer, a permanent injunction was asked for restraining the payment of the warrant amounting to about $9,000 held by the King Bridge Co. on acconnt of the con struction of the big bridge.- The court dissolved the injunction as to the prin cipal, and the city will have to pay it, as was really expected, but allowed it as to the interest, amounting to about 13,500, which the city will not have to pay, and taxed the costs to the King Bridge Co. The findings were a close call for the en tire principal.

The in troductory specialty part at the program had not been advertised more than that it was guaranteed to contain star enter tainers. This proved a fact, and before Miss Fuller appeared the audiunce was ?;iven one of the best and cleanest spec alty performances seen in j Albany. Mr. Shea was decidedly humorous in bis Irish songs and witticisms. Kalocra'ns, a young man, was a wonderful joggler. Harrv and Arthur Lelhot and it uiiam Bush did the best bell ringing ever heard in oar c ty and in their musical special ties on violins, guitars, mandolins, cor nets, trombones, etc, presented in cos tume, gave a show in itself. Charles Barrington in bis imitations is a marvel, and Anita Lawrence, 14-year-old girl, displayed great genius iu dances and contortions. The climax of the entertainment was the performance vi Ida Fofler in her il lusion dances. The performance was beyond expectations hi brilliant, ar tistic manipulation ofgausy skirts and varied colored lights, presented in a man ner to astonish and dazzle. Roses, but- ternies, a blaze of fire and other spec tacles quickly followed each otter, cul minating in a lily fifteen feet high suf fused with a light that n ade the sene brilliant beyond description.

Poor Blood When a horse is poor In flesh, a new harneir won't give him strength. If a house is cold new furniture won't warm It. If your strength is easily ex hausted; work a burd'en nerves weak; digestion poor; muscles soft; if you are pale and worn out, the trouble is with the blood. It is not so much IMPURE blood as POOR blood. Pills won't make this blood rich; nor will bitters, nor Iron tonics, any more than a new harness will give strength to the horse, or new furniture will make a house warm.

ROTAL BAKING POWDZ CO., XEW TOKK. SPOKE FOR CUBA LIBRE. An Able Address in tbe Interest of an Abused People. Prof. W. C. Hawley, president of Wil- lametta University, delivered an able lecture last night at the Presbyterian church, tbe sixth in tbe college coarse, on Cuba Previous to 'the lecture the Ladies College Quartet, Misses Red field, Page, Allen and Skeels. were heard in a song, rendered in a delightful manner. The subject of Cuba Libre is the most important one before tbe Am eric in peo ple and was elaborately treated. Tbe lecture was opened with a cuoole of stories illustrative nt the importance of tbe United States. A description of Cu ba was then given. Cuba is tbe top of a mountain range, rising as high as 9000 feet above the level of the sea. with 10.- 000 feet of water on iu sooth. Its variation in tern pert tare is only 20 de grees. Its soil is msrveloasly fertile. As j rich ss Egypt is in soli, Cuba is rich far b-yond it. Tbe 01801100- of eane was described. It is planted easily and crop j aiurr crop is mpea ior ten Tea's ana twice as much juice ia obtained to that in Louisiana, three crops ia a year. The fruit ripens ceaaeieesiy. without work. VYonderfnl soil, and yet tonight there is not a happy soul on this island. Tbe present ropnlation is tbe third worked to death Once Spain bad tit'e dee4 to half toe habitable globe; box that was her downfall. Tbe wealth sbe reaped made her a planderer and sbe gave op her great industries and slowly went downward, from tbe highest descending to tbe lowest natiuo. Now aa old and woinoot nation sbe faces a great reve lation. There have not been fifty Tears of rigbteoos govern men t in Caba since 1192. Uoba bas an arra ot iZ.OcO square miles, of which about one-half being habitable. Her foreign, commerce has been $100 000.000 a year. Its population is 1 .000.000, and the island is capable of sooportjng 20,000,000. fhe island pava $36,000,000 taxes to Spain every year, $18 for erery person white or black, young and old. Tbe regular fai-m tax is $5U, or about 25 percent. He is taxed to death. If a Cuban wants to vote he most nav a poll tax uf S300. ahile tha Spaniard is uxedadmoet nothing. To do toeinesBi yon mast pay $300 tax Year ly, ad for every tetter on yoor sign, and per cent 00 yoor tnccme. Tbe bpaa iah law is that a maa suspected is guilty until h prove himself innocent. Moro Castle bas been full oi men fading away. bvery citizen of Uavanna mast bave a document of iJeniiikaiion, and be is not safe without it. The Spaniards bave been oppressors at every pxnt. and tbe Cuban bates bim, as tbe Spaniard hates the Cuban. Spain, worn oat, cannot sap pert itself, so it seeks it from Cabe and the Philip pine islands. 20.000 Spxnuh officers. sops of prominent Spaoiards, are in tbe island, living easily and robbing tbe peo ple. Tbe tax collectors, of which there are many, get six per cent for collecting the exorbitant tax, which be often arbi trarily increases, and if nat paid sells tbe property. Spaniard have thus got ten possession of 90 per cent of the prop erty, rooDed irom ine wonans. me present war begaa in 1S25. and has sob- sided aad con'inoed to tbe present time. The governor-general of Cuba is absolute master of every person on tbe island. Arbitrate! Only revolution can settle tbe question. Cuba bas a debt ol $ouo,uuu. ut tbe $2S,CO0 000 tax about 70 per cent goes to Spain. Of that nsed on tbe island it is need exorbitantly by Spanish officers. Examples were given of Spanish justice tbat makes ones blood boiil with indig nation . Not a dollar is spent for public schools, which have been maintained ootside of taxation, and tbe Cohans are aa educated people. Tbe Cuban revo lution is being fought by the whole peo ple from tbe highest to tbe lowest, iney bave arisen to lav tha island aaste dr se cure freedom The United States gov ernment should bave backbone to see that no country but Spain, Cuba or the U. S. should control tbe island. Under the treaty of JS79 Cuba was to bave local autonomy ; bnt it was never permitted, and Spaniards only went to tbe Cortes. The treaty was lawlessly burned without the knowledge of the Cubans until just before,the present war, wnea uiev gam toey wouia siaau ou longer. The cjoban campaign is to lay waste the entire island nnleea freedom is grant ed. He can live on the wild traits and tbe yams from tbe ground, and clothe himself with the bark of the trees. All he wants is ammunition and vans. In the aast 72 rears 800.000 Spanish soldiers have been sent to tbe island and 600,000 of them bave found graves at the bands of tbe Cuban s terrible slashes. Now the Cabaus say not another do! lar shall be paid in taxes to Spain and tbey will die in tbe last ditch. In closing tbe speaker spread a Cuban flag over the pulpit and said "May tbe nag ot cuoa uote noat over tree uuoa, and every one impressed witb the earn est words and ths bnrninr arraienment of the brutal Spanish rule united in the wish.
