The Ballad concert last night was a grand success. All present report having bad a pleasant time, and taken as a whole was the most enjoyable gathering of the season. Jaycox t Poster, our enterprising merchants, are constantly receiving new goods direct from the East. When in town making purchases it will pay you to drop in and learn their prices.

We pre dict Dan. will increase the amount of t assessable property about a half a mil I lion dollars this year. The election passed off very quietly Monday, and as far as we know the pleasantcst of feeling prevailed between both parties. Both sides did good work, but the republicans got in their work where it stuck closer than a bro ther. The life-giving properties of Ayer's Sarsaparilla have established its well earned, 'reputation, and made it the most effectual and popular blood puri fier of the day.

Mr. Harry Gillen, of Kansas, has just arrived in this city, with a ear-load of imported Clydesdale and English draft stallions. Parties desiring to pur chase anything of the kind will do well to call at Elliott's stable and examine this Tot of horses. Will sell on time or trade for other stock. There was a glorious ratification in Union last Wednesday night, and the booming of Union's mighty artillery (anvils) was reverberated among our grass-covered hills, while sweet strains of music from the Union Silver Cornet Band were wafted on the evening air. Every one felt good except the defeat ed. Samuel Sisson and son left a few days ago, for an extended trip to Bak er county and the Harney valley coun try, in search of a homo where he can tako up some of Uncle Sam's domain and build unto himself and family, comfortable quarters, and roam over ' the verdant hills looking after his stock, instead of driving the jack and smoothing planes at tho carpenter's bench. W. S. Clink was sentenced to a term of five years in tho territorial penoten tiary, of W. T., for complicity in the Pylo and Hum murder case, .at Walla Walla. Clink, it will bo remembered, is the same old reprobate who was con fined in the Union county jail several vcars ago. He is a slick old sinner and is always ready to do anything that is mean, contemptible or vicious and wo are glad to know that for once in his life he has to go to the "pen." Tho work on the Pino creek road, under tho supervision of Nelson Schoo nover, is being carried on in a work manlike manner. Whatever is to bo done on tho road is dono in first class style. Parties who have been over tho road where it has been worked, say 5" that no better road can bo found on tho coast. Turnouts are being mado at short intervals on all the grades, to that toams will have no trouble in passing each other at any place along the lino. Boports from California indicate that things have fallen rather Hat. Tho prospects of a wlioat crop are vory poor and many aro discouraged. . A man traveling through tho state saw twenty toams headed for Oregon. In Southern California tho boom has fairly hurst to pieces. Ouo man who paid iffiOOO for a Los Angeles lot ha just boon offerod only about 20 for it. Discouraged people Imvo thoir ovos towards Oregon, and it behooved us to bo ready. We waiit no soap, suds boom though. ppa i.rn ro djl VTH. At Huntington, last Priday evening, Mr.. W. F. Locke met her untimely death. While driving in the lower part of town near the U. P. round house, with single bora? attached to a dog cart, a dog ran after the convey ance ami it id said bit the horse's heel. With Mrs. locke was a little bow The horse became frightened and ! starting to run had gone but a short distance when tho boy was thrown , from the cart, without sustaining seri- our injury. But, unfortunately, when Airs. ),. wits unhealed lmlli her feet were securely fastened in the spring of the vehicle, her body falling beneath the cart and dragging upon the ground. The horse ran up through the main stieet of the town, thence along the rough hillsides and across several deep ravines, when he ran down into the Hat and was stopped. To those who reached the scene first, the sight was truly heart rending and beggars description. Suffice it to say, however, that t..e lady was drawing her last.. breath. Her" clothing was drawn close up about her neck; her feet still firmly clutched by the steel spring which had relentlessly held her during her frightful one mile's ride to a terrible and indescribable death. THE SANGER MINUS. One of the stockholders of the C. F. Bradley Mining company, of Sanger, Union . county, recently stated to a Democrat reporter that they have "un covered ore that will range from if lO to $100 per ton, tiie vein being drifted uion and exposed to view 130 feet. In prospecting some supposed worth less stopping ground a body of ore of live feet thickness has been uncovered, assaying from $100 to$l,000 per ton. Thelower level shows the largest vein of ore and is of so high a grade that the manager will not put it through the mill until after the concentrators arc set up, which are expected to arrive daily. The C. P. Bradley mino which was'nurchased for a little over $10,000 is worth to-day $500,000, and the own ers know tho value of it and will work it themselves as they are wealthy and consider it simply a fortunate purchase and investment of a little surplus cash with which they intend making a fund for other mining ventures; and the outlook is favorable for the fund to be colossal from the amount of high grade oie now in sight in the C. F. Bradley mine of Sanger." CHOPS SAVED. ill ' The rains of the past eight days have had an enlivening eil'ect upon the spirits of our farmers as well no life giving energies to our growing crops. While crops in this county have not materially suffered for want of rain, yet it came just in tho nick of time, and now good crops are assured, and our fanners arc now more than pleased with the outlook. Had the hot weather continued to this date, with the unusual dryne.-s of the soil, crops would have been almost a total failure, and the outlook of farmers to get through the year without great loss would have been dreary indeed. Although grain and vegetables are not as forward as usual at this time of the year, yet we predict an abundant sup ply of everything. Fruit will not bo so" plentiful as usual, but enough per haps to supply tho homo demands. Trulv we have a good climate and one that 'has never failed to nu-le out jus tice to us in every instance. SHOOTING AT CORNUCOPIA. J. H. Hooker, a saloon keeper of Cornucopia, was killed last Saturday evening, in a drunken row, by a man named Kelly. The facts as gathered are about as follows: Kelly, Hooker andG.Newconib were abusive towards ompIi nfliir. Hooker was makinc a tirade against Geo, Neweomb, and iv'ollv whs Irvine to make Hooker hush up and also to put up his knife which he was brandishim: in a too lively manner. Hooker made an ad VMIWI!

It is with feelings of no little regret that wo announce in to-day's Democrat by order of the board of managers of tho Baker City race track, that all races announced by them to take place in July and October, or at any other time, are hereby recalled and nothing further will be done by them to promoto the interests of racing for tho present. Tho reason for their de cided action in this matter is briefly stated. 'They have canvassed tho city to see what interest tho peoplo havo in tho proposed races, and havo rccoived only Hat refusals of assistanco from thoso whom thoy had reason to expect encouragement. As the gentlemen composing the board of managers are not Vanderbilt's or Jay Gould's, they cannot afl'ord to hang purses from their own pockets, simply from a phil anthropic standpoint. 'They have al ready been to a great expense repair ing the grounds and putting tho track in good condition, not to speak of their expenses, and they feel that they have done their part. Now thoy havo como to the conclusion that if tho peo plo do not want races, that settles it. And, by the way, tho races announced for to-day will not tako place. Baker City Democrat.
