Wallace Howe Lee, A. M. ,
President
Corporal Leslie Terick and Frank
, Wire, of Co. 1 0. N. G., arrived home on
this morning's overland, direct from
Manila, under discharge for disabilities-
Wire bad had a severe attack of rheuma
tism, which soon gave away before the
bracing sea breezes and the trip towards
home, and Veriek had had very bad eyes,
which steadily improved, and are now so
. much better that it will nit be long be-
tore they will be all right. Some (parts
of the trip were rough, but altogether it
; was a bracing ride. They left the boys
all well, though Merrill was just recov-
- ering from an atuck if varioloid, and all
anxious for the time when they could
leave for Oregon. The boys speak in
high terms of the conduct of the Albany
i members of the second regiment. Dr.
Ellis had made a splendid reputation as
a physician and surgeon and Lieut. Phil
lips was liked by everybody. Many of
them sent home packages of relics and
mementoes for their relative and friends.
Leslie had a big mahogany box full and
Frank a couple boxes well filled includ
ing things for themselves, among others
their suits worn there, odd looking af
fairs. Corporal Yerick and Private wire
are welcome home, and their friends are
glad to know of the splendid reports of
their excellent conduct while gone. The
boys look well, though their complex ions
indicate their residence in ajropical climate.
For Better Roads.
Road Diet. No. 53, Linn Co., Oregon.
Dec 20, 1898.
To the Hon. County Court of Linn Co.
Oiegon.
As per your request the Road Super
visor (Mr. Ubbe Peters) of the above
named district called a meeting of the
voters ol said district. The meeting to
be on the 20th day of Dec 1S9S at the
hour of 10 o'clock a. m. at tbe home of
said supervisor and at said meeting the
following business was transacted, the
supervisor having stated the object of
the meeting. Ubbe Peters was elected
chairman and D. S. Smith secretary of
the meeting. A vote was then taken for
the election of a supervisor for the year
1899, which resulted in tbe election of
Ubbe Peters, be having received all the
votes cast (except his own.) The selec
tion was made "without regard to bis
religion, politics or color of bis hair,"
but bec ause bo is a good, energetic sub
stantial resident of this district and as
pushing and enthusiastic a road man as
there is in tbe district, this the voters
know for be has served them as super
visor for seven or eight years and we
have as good roads as any district in the
county (if not the best.) We therefore
ask the Hon. County Court to appoint
Mr. Peters our supervisor for 1899. It
was the sentiment of the meeting that
we should have good roads not only in
our own bat adjoining districts, and to
try and obtain that the supervisor was
instructed by the voters present to notify
the County Court of tbe condition of the
road north of Oak Creek in district No.
17 and to try and secure more work for
this road, as there baa been but very
little work done on this road since all of
the road work of the city of Albany has
been done within the city limits. We
are of the opinion that no county money
could be spent more profitably than to
keep up this road as it is wearing out
very last and is one of the principal high
ways to tbe county seat. Ibe voters and
taxpayers ia district No. 53 sre all in for
good roads and are willing to do their
part to make them. L. S. Smith,
Secretary.

TRIAL OF PET STRAIHN.
The trial of Pet Strahan-Moore going
on in New York City is of local interest
to Albany people, besides having attract
ed national attention. Here is yester
days account of it.
Mrs. Fayne Strahan-Moore and her
stylish gowns and wondrous eyes have
been banished from court during the
second trial of her husband, William A
E Moore, who, with his wife, is accused
of robbing Martin Mahon, proprietor of
(tie xvew Amsterdam hotel. Kecorder
Goff drove her into the exile of the
Tombs when the second trial was begun
in Part 4 of the court of general sessions.
The young woman, with the air of un
concern she has worn since the dav of
her arrest, swept early into court in
charge of a blue-coated court officer, and
with a pleasant nod and smile to Abra
ham Levy, her husband's lawyer, to k a
seat at his side.
Assistant District Attorney Mclntyre
had viewed the woman's advance
through the courtroom with a growing
wrinkle between his eyes. He aid not
want her there. It was safer in his mind
that sho should not sit there daily where
the jury cou'd look upon her and possi
bly be influenced by her attractiveness.
Therefore, when, alter the proceedings
had been formally opened, Mr. Levy
asked that Mrs. Moore be permitted to
remain and hear the evidence. Mcln
tyre objected. His view of the matter
was held by Recorder Goff, who ordered
the woman removed ,
Smiling slightly, she tripped away
with the watchful court othcer, back
across the "Bridge of Sighs" to her cell.
She may be called forth as a witness,
however. Mr. Levy savs be will put
her on the stand, and Mclntyre declares
he would like to ask her certain ques
tions. These relate, in part, to her diary,
which the officials of the district attor
ney's office say they bave obtainod pos
session of.
This record, it is said, covers the last
three years of her life, the most eventful
period, and describes many interesting
narratives, in which appear the names
of several prominent men. Levy insists
tsat no such diary is in existence.
Neither the woman who accuses Moore
of being a bigamist nor her mother was
in court. The young woman is still in
Connecticut, where she was taken after
the shock of tbe discovery of Moore's
marriage with Fayne Strahan. Her
mother, while not ia court, was near by,
within easy call of Mclntyre bad her
presence been needed.
As for Moore, he was evidently lighter
of heart than on his former trial. The
failure of the jury to agree bad given
him greater hope, and instead of tbe set
look be wore throughout Uie first trail
be hadapUasantexpreseio&imiled affa
bly when he greeted bis lawyer and his
associates, and at times showed amuse
ment at the examination of tbe tales
men. In tbe trial against Moore preceeding
that of his wi'e the jury brought in the
verdict: "We find the defendant, Wm.
A. E. Moure, guilty of robbery in the
first degree and recommend him to the
mercy of the court," Moore etood be
fore Recorder Goff a convicted felon.
After deliberating for two boors and a
half the verdict had - been reached.
Moore bit bis lips and clenched bis fist.
He stared at tbe recorder and at Mr Mc
lntyre and the jurors, folly realising his
position. lie knew the maximum pen-
alty for tbe offense is twenty years in
state pnson.
Two mora Oregon bova bave died at

A PIONEER OF '47.
The msn in abose hand writing the

tcribed, died this morning at 8 o'clock at
his borne at Knox's Buite, M. C. Cham
ber at tbe age of 82 years.
Mr Chambers came to Oregon in 1817
from Galesborg, III , and daring tbe
years that followed bailt up a splendid
reputation as a neighbor and cittxen, be
ing respected and etteemed by ail know
ing him.
He was the second county clerk of the
county, bat tbe first record was mad by
him as clerk, there being no record of his
reputed predecessor. Mr. Chambers
leaves a large family of grown sons and
daughters, a wile and many mends to
mourn tbe loss of a good man .
at.ve. to use their influence and votes in
favor of a bill tc exempt parties using
wide tire wagoos from a portion of their
road tax, with a view to encourage their
general use, were unanimously carried.
ii was aiso voted to ask our represent
stives to work for such a revision of our
road law in relation to the collection of
tax as would render thsA affective.
Aa lb travel from all lbs surrounding
territory centers in a few roads adjacent
10 Albany, and the regular Ux is not
sufficient to keep tbem in repair, it was
thought best to donate extra work in this
district, and tbe Road Supervisor was
appoiutsd to circulate a subscriDilon
J asking tb Ux-payr of tb district to
oonai wora amounting to on ball of
their regular road tax. Such a paper
was prepared and generally signed by
those present.
It was also argued that it is certainly
to the interest of tb butinew men ol Al
bany that the rjads adjacent thereto b
kept in ccod eondition..t ia adviaahe miH
just thst they be g vea an opportunity
to assist in tb matter, and the Super
