' -' Ladies doing shopping on Second street need not be ignorant of the length of time which remains ' be lore tbe - dinner hour; for by consulting the large new electric' clock just placed' in front of Daut's store they will be advised of the correct time. This- clock is connected by electric wires with a time pieye'in tbe optical room, - and etcb . moment when the connection is made- the hands on the large clock jump ahead a minute. It would be a splendid device for a town clock. ' Last night when J. Jackson Jr., and Chas. Catbcart were preparing to take a crowd out to a dance at Marquiss' place, on Cbenoweth creek, the horses, which bad not been driven much since the storm, became frightened and dashed down Second street, from the East End, '.turning the corner at Union, and up setting the large sleigh in front of S L.

WORK IN THE HOUSE. Roberta Introduced a Bill for Fruchim for Toll Road. 170; SecondlHreet r -in POSTOFFICE. The Dallee, Oregon. TRIED TO ROB THE Tbe Brave Postmistress Successful Foils Tneir Plans. Mrs. J. A. Croaeen not only proved herself equal to the emergency in suc cessfully preventing burglars from enter ing tbe postoffice Wednesday night, but also evaded the vigilance of the ever present newspaper reporters, and cheat ed them out of a first-class sensational item yesterday. However, her . bravery in this case totally precludes any com plaint which might be made by us. During th'e absence of Postmaster Crossen, his wife has assumed charge of tbe office, and Wednesday night her duties kept her at her post until the midnight hour, when she was engaged in distributing the mail which came up on tbe 11 :30 train. -Having no thought of fear she paid slight attention to a noise which once or twice came from tbe direction of the window in the south west corner of the. room, until it became so loud as to startle her. Looking in that direction she saw the large iron windows being opened. As the glass window is secured by iron bars, the outside windows are frequently left no clasped that the- night watchman may open them and have a view of the office, tbe bars preventing any one entering. In a moment more two men appeared at the window, with hats pulled down over their eyes and high collars turned up over their ears so that it was impossible to recognize them. Mrs. Crossen stood fora moment dumb founded, but at once remembered the telephone. Stepping to the 'phone, at the eauie time. keeping her eye on the man who bad his arm through tbe bars attempting to raise the window, she rang up the night watchman. . . Evidently the culprits saw she had the drop on them, as no doubt their object was to raise 'tbe window, cover her with their revolvers and demand her to open the door, which of course tbey could have done bad help not been Capitol, Salem.
