April Fool.
April Is upon us, aud tlio blggost pieco of
fouling we know oris tho way in which tho
weather introduces tho genial month, for it
rains to-day oasier ond more persistently
than it has before for a twelve month.
The weather seems to have dampened the
ardor of all the mischief-makers, for we hear
of very few practical okes. This soaking
rain discourages enterprise In that direc
tion, though Herman's little boy, Sampson,
did manage earlyjln the morning to make a
'bale of Seth Hammer, .'butv the boy hadn't
been up .long ouough.lhen to be squelched
fey the cllniaio. (
Wolliad rather a rough practical joke
jplayed on us by a great Portland bouso that
Uta made about a million dollars out of ad
vertising,, which sent us np a card that was
calculated to serve their turn for a whole
season, aud which muet have cost tbem
nights ol study, and for why they.'offore'd us
ana dollar for one month. We dropped that
Jboute a pubtal card reminding; tbem that it
was a national anniversary celebrated by
practical jokers, and ottering to buy a buggy
of them on the same terms. -
In the absence of sensational matter of cur
rout date to uiako montion of wo (.hall have
to tell a good thing whiou happened at the
Penitentiary two years ago, narrated to us
fcy Mr. T. B. Jackson. It is usual lor War
den Holtzelaw to try tho shackles each day
and Roe if they are sound. This be docs by
taking a hammer and striking thorn, as tbo
prisoners file by, and lift a foot, each one for
tho test. Ifthey ring right they have not
boon tampered with. The "happy lamily"
had potnemay prepared lor mutual action
and the circle continued until tnos: bad
made the third appearance. When a tail fel
low 0 feet J inches high, cime up for tun
ehiid trial, tho warden said: "Haven't I tried
you before?" ""Yes, judge, about twice, but
Ibis is the flr&t of April," was the reply,
and the otllcor found no had been made the
victim ot a vtrv neat practical Joke vory
soberly executed.

Rosalia was an obedient aud amiable

Though she never made a public profession

Marion County c Taxes. The total
Amount of taxes paid up to noon to-day
amounted to fGo,313.82 and we judge by the'
look of the tax book that rather a large de
jidoocy remains uncollected, which of course
is due to the fact that times are bard and
money scarce. The tax collectors have
jiono their duty and the tax payers are at

The Capital Lumbering Company baa pur

Mooros, known as the South Salem saw mill.
The purchase Includes all the machinery of
the South Saloin mill, largo engine and
boiler, running gear, saws and planer, also
the stock of logs now on hand. Tho intention
of tho Capital Lumbering Company Is to add
the power of the other mill to the one in
town and so Increase its crpauity as to be
able to cut 20,000 to 25,000 feet of lumber in
ten hour?, which will be an addition of oue
belfto the mill' presont ability aud make
its capacity equal to the Portland mills. The
plauor will also be incorporated in tholr
present mill.
Tho grist mill at South Salem remains witn
power attached aud will bo carried on as here

Instevd of being a "consolidation" as re

That Silver Wr.nnt.NO. The silver wed

until this evening on account of the bad
weather a wook ago. There will be no post
ponement this evening but many friends will
drive out to their charming residence and
celebrate the Important event with appropri
ate ceremonies and festivities. It is a nice
place to go to, especially when they are "on

Hosiery Works to Start Agaw. We
learn from 'Mr. A. L. Sttnson that he Is pre
paring to resume operrtlons with the Beaver
Hosiery Company at Jefferson, and will
probably be at 'Work) by the middle, of thij)
montu. It would really seem, that such a
manufacture as this ought lo Succeed in Ore

on here and wo hope that tho enterprise may
prove successful and continued without

which is Just outsldo the city limits, north
east. The weather Is fitful to-day and some of Its
"spells" are decidedly uncomfortable. Those
snow squalls are very dramatic to look at
through a window and very nasty to eu
couuter outside. The blue sky is grateful to
behold as we have not much cerulean In ours
of late, but it does not remain as a poi manent

ATTEMPTED ESCAPE 0FcbHYICTS.
From Mr. T. B. Jackson, who baDpeued to

that two convicts, one named Wilson from
Jacksonville and oue from Portland, made a
.shrewd attempt at escape that was fortutate-i

straw and placed in their cells, lying on their
beds, with hats on, and stowed themselves

The River.
The big Willamette Is a sort of a conun
drum as goes down and up and fills and
empties at the same tlmo. This afternoon
iho river Is up has got Its back up, for it
backs up into every vacant place It can find,
and probably dees it from motives of pru
deuco to stand asido and let Its own mischief
pass by. From the bide nooks and ravines
it looks slyly forth on the dilfts that hav)
been (,'ntherhig for years on the upper

account of which wo published yesterday.
It is a trifle amusiug how stories come to bo

was due to illness. The crew were saved as

he pames losses as follows: He himself has
