It would bo a strango thing if with tho

infest our city at present, some depreda

hooves our citizens to bo on tho look
out to keep their doors and windows
well Incised and a revolver near by. Tho
first nttompt at burglary of which wo
liavo hoard was made lust night, when
an entrance was attempted into tho res
iileiico of K. J. Collins, on Tenth street.
Mr. Collins distinctly heard the doors
and windows being tried, and jumping
out of bed ho grabbed Ills revolver and
started to investigate. Tho mistake ho
made, however, was in turning on the
light, which warned tho would-be rob

Among Oregon's young women who
have gained a reputation for musical
ability is ono whoso success is very
gratifying to u leading musician of Tho
Dalles, Mrs. W. G. Woodworth, tho
young lady having been u pupil
of tier's for two years and receiving
instructions from iter which laid the
foundation for n brilliant career. Wo
refor to Miss Constance Mattingly, of
Portland, whoso picture appeared in the
Now Year's number of the Orogonian,
she having made herself prominent ub
the composer of the Oregon inarch and
two-stop, which was dedicated to tho
battleship Oregon, and first played by
Kinross' orchestra at tlio Hotel Portland,
and aftorwurd on Orogon night at the
exposition. Many Oiegonians now have
it in their homes in sheet music.
Aftor many anxious weeks ot waiting,
a few days since Mrs. Nellie Waud re
ceived a totter from. Fred' Caplos, a
cousin of the lateCapt. Waud, who was
with him at the time of his death, giv
ing particulars concerning the sadufrafr.
He said that while tho captain seemed
perfectly well up to 2 o'clock on tho
afternoon of the lfith of November, at
that hour he was taken with a terrific
headache and extieme nausea, vomiting
t -rribly, and finally became unconseioup,
dying at 4:45. At Hint time ho hob at
one of Jus claims near Dawson. The
writer eaid he had no idea that the
captain realized ho was going to die, so
suddenly did the illness como upon him.
The remains were buried there tempor
arily, and as soon as it is deemed ad
visable and tho weather moderates, the
body will be brought home for burial.
A two-horse team running away will
always cause a sensation, but four horses
make it doubly exciting, and so when
at tho noon hour today a four-horse
team came bolting down Second street,
bringing the wagon behind them, every
body was excited for a time. It proved
to bo Mr. Doyle's team, which, as he
was driving near Hansen &. Tnotueen's
eaw mill just as the 12 o'clock whistle
blew, became frightened and started on
a lively jaunt. Mr. Doyle was thrown
out of tho wagon at the corner of Third
and Laguhlin, and had it not been for
tlft muddy condition of the street, no
doubt would have been seriously in
jured. As it was ho was badly stunned,
: having struck his head and cut a Blight
gash. Ho was thrown face downward
and the wonder is he was not Bullbcatod
in mud, for ho wa9 a eight to behold
when assisted to the sidewalk. Tho
horees turned onto Second and How
down to tho corner of Union, where they
slackened their speed and stopped in
front of tho European houso. Ono horse
wna hurt slightly, having the bark taken
oirhis nose, but no further damage was
done.

Wrltn "I,iuiulii" on the Sow I.enf.
In spite of tho slight interest displayed
by tho majority of its members in the
managem nt of tho publlJ library, it
lias just passed a very successful year
land is in good condition, thanks to a fow
who have borne the burden and heat of
the day. Through tho extreme kind
ness of Messrs. Blukelcy & Houghton
the association waa afforded space in
their drugstore in which to keep their
books and transact business until more
convenient quarters could be found; but
their inability to furnish larger quarters
for tho books ordered from tho receipts
of a special edition of tho Tiines
Mountaineor, made a move necessary at
tiie beginning of 1800. As if it had
been arranged especially for that pur
poso the room now occupied on Wash
ington street presented itself, and being
centrally located and suitable has
proven just the place neceBjary.
Willi no funds on hand the expense
of fitting up the room, furnishing lights,
fuel, librarian and additional books
from timoto time was no easy task; but
by eeaseless work ond energy on the
part of a few, this was accomplished
without constant appeals to the public,
and during tho year 110 persons have
had the benefit of the library, which
has been open to the public three even
ings and one afternoon daring every
week, furnishing not only to them, but
to any who desire to j in, tho benefit
derived from all the latest and best
reading.
In such an enterprise all the better
class of people in tho community should
be concerned, and yet there is a woeful
lack of interest displayed. Were the
library to be closed, bowever, and the
reading public deprived of this privi
lege, its loss would be keenly felt and a
contiuual complaint arise.
Fortunately the receipts for the year,
mot including the money taken in at the
lady minstrels nor in gifts, have more
ban paid the running expenses, the
.early receipts being $203.28. The dis
bursements amounted to $222.55, leaving
li balance now on band of $40.73, not
including $20 held in trust. The amount
paid out for new booke during the year
was $40.51 ; ond an insurance of $500 was
placed on the library.
Gifts to the library were as follows:
Wood, sufficient for last winter's use,
given by Titos. Johns; curtain, table
and chairs, amounting in value to $0.25,
were also donated, and the catalogues
presented by OtiB Patterson amounted
to $35. These, with $20 held iu trust
for certain purposes, amount to $04,25.
Books to the number of twelve have also
been presented.
At present the library contains 700
ooks, and its doors aro open on Mon-
ay, Wednesday and rriuay evenings
rom 7 till 9 o'clock, and on Saturday
afternoons from 2 till 5. The books are
ree to all who pay the 25 cent dues
each month, no subscription fee being
charged. 1 ,
We trust that a greater interest in the
affairs of tlio library will be taken by its
members this year.

DR. BURN AM,
OCCULIST AND SCIENTIFIC OP
TICIAN, FROM CHICAGO.
With the niamontl Crown Optical Com-pntiy.
Dr. Burnam has opened an oflico in
tho Chapman block, room 4, across tho
hall from the photograph galli-ry. The
Doctor's method of fitting glasees is en
tirely new. Ho uses large and expen
sive electric instruments lately invented
by Edison, and othere. Nothing like
thorn iu tho western cities. No medi
cino necessary. No dark room ! No
bright light thrown in the eye to injure
it! No worry! Eyes feel easy after
testing. It costs you nothing to inves
tigate. Eyes fitted day or evening.
Eye strain will cause restlessness with
a tendency to excesses. If your aro
good, you will be too good; if you are
bad, you will be too bad; if you area
thinker, you will overwork your brain;
if you are a laborer, you will overwork
your body; whatever you do yon will do
too haid. This leads to many diseases.
Glasses can be made that will'quiet you
down. Not the kind your Grandfather
wore, of course. The optical science has
improved like all of the other mechan
ical arts.
