in the Field.
THEY WILL STAY IS THE FIELD.
A Lot of Disgruntled republicans and
Disappointed Democrats that
"Wouldn't be Missed."
FROM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
Some of the delegates to the county
prohibition convention from the various
precincts in the county met at the W. C.
T. U. hall yesterday morning, with their
object the nomination of certain dis
gruntled members of the two old great
parties for the various offices which will
be vacant in July nest. To look around
the room, it was surprising at the num
ber of the delegates who hnd been in
times past "squatted" on by either a con
vention of the republican or democratic
parry. Yet it must 1 admitted that
there were several representative men
from both parties, but particularly from
the grand old republican party that has
ever been the friend of temperance and
of temperance people.
Promptly-at 11 o'clock "Brother" Dini
mick loomed up in his majesty and
might, his face burning with smiles, and
called the convention to order and ap
pointed Prof. Jory, of the Willamette
university, as temporary chairman, after
which "Brother" Koork asked divine
blessing on the delegation there assem
bled, and prayed mightily for the success
of the prohibition party.

its own committeeman.
Dr. S. W. McDowell then presented a
request or petition for the increased del

Mr. Roork moved that the ladies be in

The committee on resolutions reported
a platform of principles, which, in the
preamble, recited the fact that the liquor
traiac was the curse ot the world, and
farther pleasantries being thrown at the
two great parties, on account of their
"hard fight for the votes of the liquor
tratlic." The resolutions show this con
vention to be against any compromise
with either of the great parties against
the manufacture, importation, and sale
of liquors against license law against
the giving of puhlic lands to help corpor
ations, and requiring that it be held for
the actual settlers against the introduc
tion of Chinese or other foreign labor
against contract labor against the de
monetisation of Bilver, and that they are
in favor (strongly) of "getting the offices"
in favor of absolute prohibition of the
liquor traffic in favor of, and they call
on the legislature to pass at once a law
similar to the "Mainejlaw" in favor of
"industrial and moral worth being the
standard of greatness, instead of wealth
in favor of enforcing the present law only
until they can get another in its place
which shall have for its basis "absolute
prohibition of the liquor traffic" in favor
of lawful protection from unjust appre
hension or discrimination by corporate
powers. The resloutions were adopted.

Gold Hill. The quarts excitement
about Gold Hill, says the Ashland Tid
ings, has settled down to a somewhat
quietor basis, but many prospectors are
searching the hills for gold. There are
no doubt ledges of good rock in the
neighborhood, which will eventually be
discovered, if prospecting be kept" up.
No big strike has leen made, in Ute way
of a solid, rich ledge, but one or two lit
tle seams of rich rock have been found
near large ledges of quarts which do not
appear to carry much goll.
At tub Abvlcm. A special reporter
visited the asylum last evening, and re
ports a splendid entertainment, consist
ing of a minstrel programme, gotten up
solely by the employees of that institu
tion. It was equal to Happy Cal Was
ner's crack show. Jamison's personiti
tions were immense. Many local "guvs"
and hits brought down the house. The
patients were well pleased, in fact every
thing about there runs like clockwork.
This will le the last entertainment for
tiie season.
Coming Hohe. Charles Sehlbrede
writes from Drakeville, Iowa, that he is
enroute home, and expests to arrive here
with his family about the 2tfth or 27th.
It will be remembered that he visited In
diana to attend at the death bed of his
sister. He writes : "I have now again
been over the grounds, and visited the
scenes of my childhood days ; and while
I have a sort of love for Kentucky, the
state of my birth, and Indiana, the state
where I was raised, I could not now think
of exchanging Oregon for eitheroi them.
The Coming Horse-show. Horse
raisers and breeders are making big prep
arations for the stallion show to take
place here one week from to-day, (Satur
day, March 27.) There should, and sure
ly will, be a large turn-out of fine horses,
and probably more good stock will be
shown here than has been seen on the
streets of Salem for a long time. Let it
be a success.

early in the morning, and was A. D.

odical spins ; the other started near toe
corner ot btate and Uommerciai, and

hitched to a farm wagon, was Btopped.
No damage.

the Tacoma Ledger, brought three Indi
an boys from the Indian school at Salem,
Oregon. Two of them went to the Pu
valiup reservation, and the other to Port
Madison. One ol these was tnuuv dad,
and nearly dead with consumption. The
others were also in a verr delicate condi
tion as to health. All three have come
on account of sickness.
Wok't Hold. The old notion that the
eight of a hanging has a good effect as a
warning upon the witnesses, is not borne
out by the recent experience at Jackson
ville." After acting as one of the promi
nent guards at the execution of O'Neil, a
voting man of that place shot a compan
ion the same evening in a dispute over
some trifling matter.
The Col-."mv'8 Liabilities. As here
tofore stated in this paper, the county is
out of debt, virtually. Out of $17,600
due the State on taxes, $15,000 have been

money is in the hands of the county
treasurer, awaiting settlement between
the countv and state authorities on some
disputed amounts.
Bio Calf. Geo. Anderson is the proud
owner of a fine calf, which made its bow
to this terrestrial sphere on "St. Patrick's
Day in the morning." It is from a
Guernsey father and a Devonshire-Durham

notaries public.
There Are. There are 75 widows in
Albany. There are the same number of
churches and saloons in this city. Al
bany Democrat. Albany must be a fun-
nv town ! How it can support 75 or 50
churches and the same numWerof saloons
gets the average passer through. The
old maids and gross widows we can ac
count for.

gaged yesterday in laying a brick side
walk on the borders of Geo. Collins' new
residence, corner Court and Church
streets.

THE SEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
The Work f Completion Going Stead
ily on A Fine Building, and a
Credit to Salem.
A reporter of this paper visited the new
East Salem school building, and found a
crew of several men at work on differ
ent parts of the building, under the su
perintendence of R. T. Dentiam.
The work has progressed very rapidly
since last commenced, and portends a
speedy completion of the lower floor.
On the outside, the rear dome is being
completed, and is nearly finished. The
porticos, at the east and west entrances,
are being constructed now, and the col
umns are being placed in os:tion. The
stejifl for the ortieo stairways are being
made hv J. O Donald, and will lie readv
to be placed in position in a lew days.
the work of completing the lminUng ol
the outside will lie resumed in a few days
it' the weather remains favorable, ufter
which the outside ornaments, consisting
of 4.000 pieces of white metal, will be
placed, together with the other trimmings,
around the dome.
Inside, four recitation rooms have been
finished by the plasterers, and the remain
der of the plastering work on the first
floor will lie completed during the com
ing week.
The work of wainscoting has beguu.
The wainscoting is to 1 of cedar and
spruce, in iianels adjoining, finished in
oil and varnish. The balustrade will be
in the same stvle, and the enect will un
doubtedly lie verv handsome..
the basement of the north wing is be
ing tilled in, and preparations are Wm.
made for putting in the closets tind
heaters.
It is exulted to have the lower storv
completed liefore very lmg, and it will
probably he furoiidied in time for the
opening of the next year's school in Sep
tember. At least it is to be hoped that
such will lie the cane, for increased school
room is almost absoluteir neeessarv in
the district.
When this building incompleted Salem
will have the finest public school building
in Uregon.

BJUIMiE NOTES.
What Our Neijrlibm-s Say Business
Men, ran you Ignore the
Matter?
The surveyors under Capt. Powell are
moving right ahoud with thoir work.
Salem is going to have a bridge over
the Willamette to Polk county. Appeal.
The Statksmas, of Salem, deserves the
support of the reading people of this
county for the energetic way it has
pushed the bridge question. Polk Coun

There is no use in kicking, you, who do
not wish to see this city improve for fear
some body else will coine in here and go
into business. lespite your kicks,
Salem is now going to awako from her
lethargy, and is going to forge ahead.
She has lain idle long enough, and the
niiss is now going to lie scraped off.
Within the coming fiscal year, Salem
and Marion county is going to extend tlie
right band of fellowship to our neighbors
on the west, by reaching out with an arm
of wood and iron and steel in the shape
of a free and on thoroughfare across
the Willaaiette river. It has to come.
Salem must see that bridge built and that
as soon ns God ami the engineers and
courts (which we pray will not step in)
will let it lie constructed.
Business men of Salem, can you afford
to antagonize this movement ? Can you
not bettor afford to put forth your hand
and aid in its construction? There ant
but a few who are now to lie counted
among the "kickers" in this city, and
they are gradually Itegtnning to appreci
ate that they arc 'largely in the minority.
Let it soon 1 suid that Salem's residents
tax iiayers and business men are unani
mously in favor of a fret bridge across
the Willamette river and its early con
struction and completion. In this bridge
lays Salem's future prosKrts. No bridge
same dull town no going ahead no
inqietus to improvement ; with the
bridge, the dawning of a new day. Im
provements, manufactories, increased
business, a broader field for the sale of
your wares, and even-thing favorably for
a large city. A city is made. It does not
come by chance or "happen."

keeping him at the town jail. About
daybreak he escaped from them, and, it
