Our farmers are all busy sowing grain,
and if nice weather continues a few day?
longer some will their get entire crop in.
We felt all worn oiu by being cooped
vp so long and to relieve or r feelings we
took a horse-back ride to Tangent, we
found the roads ia the wo-st condition
we ever saw them and we hope that the
t . . i .1
people wiu ao extra worn una spring on
the roads. We found some men at-work
on their farms and as We neared the city
we saw a large force cf hands at work in
tlie nurary of Mr. Settlemier. The first
man we met that we was acquainted
with was our old soldier frirnd A. B.
Hiett, he invited us to take dinner with
him, the invitation was accepted, but be
fore we could go we had to s. e Young
Anierirasnd he accompanied Vis to the
home of our host. We found a first class
dinner awaiting us which was prepared
and presided over by Miss Dora, the ac
complished daughter of our host. After
dinner we went to the postotlice. We
found a" large crowd waiting" for their
mail and onr friend Beard was very busy
As we passed tin school house we waived
cur hand at Prof. Mitchell but he was
too busy to notice a common reporter.
We met our old friend Rev. Haynes, he
said it was too early for Little Rose Buds :
bat we think he is mistaken. On our
way home a vounsr man called to as as
he followed his plow, "Say mis'er he'v
ye any smokin' tobaceer." V; e made a
ngative answer as we never carry anv
thing of that kind when we are traveling.
We arrived home at the proper time and
was clad to again be in the most beauti
ful town in the vallev. We will be con
tented to stay at home for a long time,

attendance, 18; No. of those neither ab
sent nor tardy, 4, Callie Davis, Mary
McKnight. Chester Myers anJ Thomas
McKnight; absent but-one day, 10.
This is as correct an account as could be
obtained under the circumstances. The
average attendance is exceedingly well
for the first month as almost one-half of
the scholars bean after one week o'
school. The advanced class in spelling
well deserves mention, there being nine
in the clast-, making a total average of
95 5-7 per cent during the month, as fol
lowe : Marv Baltimore. 93 per cent: Lura
Basbor, 94; Bertha Davis, 90, Waller
"Wood, 96; Hennis Hart, 94: Chester
24 vers, 99 ; Clarence Roes, 100 and Thos
McKnight, 100. The last two named
not missing a single woid. Also the
dvanced geography class in map draw
ing making an average per cent of 92 6.
The highest being Thos. McKnight,
"95 average and Chester Myers 95
Both classes composed of scholars from
"S to 14 years with one exception. ,
Casbt's Slayebs. Word comes from
Modoc county, Calif. , that the remnant
of Captain Jack's tribe of Modoc Indians,
now living in that count? in the neigh
borhood of Captain Jack's treichet y and
General Canby death in 1872, is now
in a pitiab'.e condition, verging on actual
starvation. In all, there are aboot 100
-of the famous tribe left. The winter has
'been a severe one, the snow deep and
the Indians have been nnable to obtain
the necessaries of life. A party of . two
tucks and ten squaws struggled into
Alturas, the county seat from the lava
beds, to get food, out the whites were
not charitably disposed to the Modocs.
80 hungry were the Indians that they
stripped the carcass of a dead cow to the
bone, ravenously ate of the putrid flesh,
and carried away what was left. It is
reported that their number has been
reduced one-half this winter by deaths
doe to starvation and exposure.

HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF.
Last Saturday Will Kerr and yeuug
Webber, of Corvallis, were returning
from a fishing trip on Mary's river, when
tverr met with death in the following
manner: They had a stick of giant
powder, which they undoubtedly had in
tended to use in fishing if the opportun
ity had offered. This they cut in two and
decided to touch off, as they had no use
for it, as they were approaching Phil
omath. They put a luse to one of the
nieces and lit it on the side of a hill It
dialed end evidently went out. Kerri
started towards it, notwithstanding he
-ieu wwiroa it, noiwunsianamg lie
1 warned by Webber, reached ove?af-
t f r.m above, down a small enbank-i
H. Just as he was grasping it. it
was
ter
ment. Just as he was grasping
went off, striking him in the upper part
ot the forehead, and taking the entire
top of his head off, raaging down to the
neck, leaving the mask of the face, of
course dying instantly. His body was
taken to Uorvauls, where Ins parents re
side. The deceased was 24 years of age,
and was a member of the Maccabees.
Yesterday the funeral services were held
at Corvallis and were attended by many.
The burial services were under charge of
that order, lead by the Corvallis band,
which played the dirge. Grand Com
mander Van Winkle and eight other
members of the Albany lodge were pres
ent and assisted in the services, rrom
them we get the particulars of th un
fortunate accident.
The Case Against Kendall:
It was reported that Ed Kendall's wife
from whom he was divorced had been
offered a diamond ring by him, worth
$100, if she would live with him again
and she was allowed to feel the ring
through his vest. The Telegram says :
With this information in his possession
Officer Johnson arrested Kendall as- a
suspect. But upon ' being searched, no
ring was found in his possession. Neither
was there any trace of a ring having been
sewed in the lining of his vest, as the
vest he then wore was not the one he had
on when calling upon the woman whose
life he had wrecked. Officer Johnson,
however, has implicit conbdence in Mrs.
Kendall's story, anJ believes that Ken
dall pawned ttie ring after he left her.
His theory is based upjn the fact that
for a ioug time, up to last Saturday night,
Kendall had been almost penniless. On
that occasion, it is alleged, he was quite
flush with money, drinking pretty hard
and "treating the boys.'' Besides that,
last Sunday tuorning he bought a new
suit of cuthes in a North End shep, fur
cash, and Oificer Johnson feels certain
that all this money must have been raised
on Emerick's ring. But m far there is
no sibsUntial proof of it. this officer
visited Campbell in the county jail yes
terday, and irom him he learned that
Kendall also, and alone, visi.ed Em
erick's room on that eventful night But
Campbell cannot explain aaay the fact
that he was looking for a lost diamond
ring the morning after it was taken out of
Emerick's p jree. However, on the night
of the theft Campbell was very drunk,
and it is possible that he exhibited the
ring in Kendall's presence, who, in turn,
stole it from him. At all events, Jamp
bell's chances for the penitentiary are
qu.te promising, and it tlie ring is not
found and traced to Kenda.l s prior pos-
6essiou. be wilt be in lack, as the law
cannot reach him.

That One SidcJ Game.
. Oakviujc, Or., April 13, 1S97.
In the Daily Dkmochat of April 10th in
an article beaded "Albany l'at 1 find
this littls paragraph :
"Tbe most onesided game ot base ball
on record was that of an Albany picked
cln defeating the Oak Points 98 to 7."
I don't know who reported that game
to the Democrat but as I scored the game
and reported the score to the Albany
Register I wish to make some corrections,
lhe game was not played by an Albanv
ricked club, it was a picked nine of Hal
sey, but their pitcher (McCulIy) was a
member of the picked nine of Albany
and tbe ehcrt stop of tbe Oak Point nine
(W. R. Blain) was an Albany lad. Mc
Cully's pitching was what beat oar boys.
1 make this correction in behalf of the
Oakville nine of '78, as thev are veterans
now. A- Y. Smith,

Grocers Through theN. W.. Taken
In. .
On March 30 a yourg man 5 feet 6 in
ches tall, weighing about 140 pounds was
in Albanv. and reoresentinir himsell to
be the agent of T. Kingslord & Co.. man
ufacturers of Silver Gloss starch, the on
ly anti-tmst house, and traveling direct
ly for the factory, he could sell cheaper,
got orders Irom most of the grocers f.r 8
or 10 cases, at 2 cents below the usual
cost with froiuht naid to Albanv. One
house was selected as the distributing
ed 75 so he called at trie Firat National
Bank and drew on T. Kingsford & Son.
A grocer was tailed in to identify him.
The draft was endorsed and Mr. Miller
left for other fields, doing the valley
generally this way, cleaning up about $75
a day. Thv drafts are being returned
and the endorsers are being called upon
to make their signatures good. The
same man was in Spokane on Saturday,
as the following dispatch dated April 10
will show:
A man giving the name of G. II. Pes
pard, who has traveled in different cities
of the Pacific Northwest under the al
iases of Redmond Stafford. Miller and
Henderson, worked a successful swindle
on the grocers of Spokane. lie repre
eented himself as a special agent ot a
starch-manufacturing concern, claiming
his company was the only one out of the
trust. Bv his represe stations, grocers
reduced the price of starch 2 cent. To
day he induced Grocer 8. J . Jarvis to in
dorse a draft for 75. Tonight the man
is missing anu the draft is worthless.
Despard is wanted in Portland for wora
ng a similar came, and other cities in
he west have suffered.
Probably Nothing In It.
Jas Cornali, an Englishman, and a
somewhat new comer, came down from
Sodaville yesterday for a license that
would enable him to wed the widow Mc
Cartney. He brought down with him
some ore taken from tbe old Han pert
hole on the Dr. Hi 1 place which he
claims to be rich in tin, in fact tlOO per
ton. On several other occasions there
has ben a small mioingexciUm mover
the same place on gold and silver. The
Democrat ia satisfied Irom private in
formation that no credence should be
given to the matter. It certainly might
be desired that there should be a rich
mine at Sodaville.but at the present time
we believe there is nothing reliable to
base it upon.

Wetkly Crop Bulletin.
Portland, Oregon, April 12, 1897.
A decided change in the weather has
occurred. The past week was much
warmer than the proceeding week ; there
was more sunshine and less rainfall.
Crops The correspondents all repvt
the beneficial effects of the mom favor
able weather. The greatest poss'ble ac
tivity prevails among the farmers; plow
ing and seeding were prevented for much
ot tbe tiui4 during the past five mouths,
and all energy is now exerted to put in
grain. It is safe to say that the usual
acreage will not be sown, for the season
is too late to allow of sullicie.it plowing.
borne correspondents report uamuge to
fall-sown grain from freezing out and too
wet. This ia confined U limited areas.
Te sunshine has put new color into all
erain. it is stoolina well and. as uaua'.
is well roiled. EaHy-sown spring grain
is growing finely. The low land u dry
ing out and will allow plowing thereiu in
the course of a few days. The farmers
were about discouraged over the late
spring, but the favorable change in the
rather baa changed it all; instead of
despondency, renewed liie and activity
prevail.
Fruit In Curry count the early fruit
has lost its bloom and the fruit is now
set; in the other counties, it ia in bloom
or coming in. In Josephine and Jack
son counties peaches, almonds, aprico'.s
and nectarines are in full bloom. In
Douglas and in the valley countiek.earlv
peaches are in bloom, also almonds and
apricots. Pear, prune, quince and plum
trees are swelling their buds and will be
in bloom by Wednesday of this week,
except, of course, in the foothills. Goose
berries and currants are in leif and
bloom. Strawberries show marked
growth, but no bloom as yeU
Tbe grass ia making good growth, and
feed for stock is more plentiful. Lamb

children is in striking contrast with the
attitude toward the public schools tbat
is shown by some school boards aud com

there were fewer two-by-four school dir
ectors who contend that the methods oi
teaching of fifty years ago should still
prevail. If a teacher ssks one of these
narrow gauge individuals for a contribu
tion or an appropriation from the district
fund for the purchase ot a school library,
pictures for the school room, Arbor trees,
school Hags, etc., he is generally greeted
with -an emphatic refusal. Uhen, it
there is not a retiisal, there is so much
haggling and fault-finding that the teach
er is disgusted before he gets the desired
aids and advantages for his tchooi.
