The O. A C. railway, both divisions, and the Oregon Pacific have granted redactions of eighty per cent, on return tare to those teachers who have been ia attendance at the sasor tion.

Bush's bank is posted a circular letter from the Fidelity bank, Cincinnati, under date of June 15th, which is of some interest in the light of recent devel opments. i tie letter assures customers. uepositors, ana mentis mat, not with standing adverse reports which have been anonymously circulated concerning tbe shaky condition of the bank, its re sources, its capital surplus, and deposits, are larger than those of any other bank in the city. (Several days after this an nouncement the bank suspended, in con sequence of the late wheat agitations in Chicago, and a fearful condition of affairs was found. TiiaoroH a Baiixix. While a team of three oxen, driven by Samuel Prather, was crossing the bridge over Butte creek, at Shriek's mill, on the boundary be tween Marion and Clackamas counties. several aays since, the Clackamas county end of the bridge gave way, and the driver, oxen, and load of five sawlotrs were precipitated Into the creek beneath, a aietance oi ntteen or twenty feet Strange to say, neither the oxen nor the anver were hurt, nor wai the wskou in jured. The wagon and oxen were gotten out witheut much trouble. Clackamas county has already let the contract for repairing the bridge. Accidekt at the AsYM'M. Yesterday morning, while a piano lx-longing to Ir. Joseph i was being lowered down through the staircase from a second story, at the asylum, the rope to which the tackle was attached parted, letting the piano fall heavily npon the railing, smashing tlte latter. The heavy instrument fortunate ly did not fall directly to the floor, but followed the stairwav till it struck th bottom post, where it stopped. When the hosing was taken from the piano, which w an upright, is was found that u n i stiaiainea no damage, beyond a ' few flight scratches. No one was hurt. Ksihmutos'b Uamcii.

Over a hundred la dies responded to Uie invitation of Mrs. Z. F. Moody yesterday afternoon, to be present at an afternoon tea. The enter 1 tainment which had been provided for the enjoyment of tbe guests was in every way ample and elegant. Mrs. Moody was assisted jn looking after the comfort of those present by Mrs. W. H. Moody, of Tbe Dalles, Miss Bliss, of California, Miss Sadie Nelson and Miss Edna Moody. Tlte afternoon from three to six was spent most pleasantly, and the luncheon which was provided was highly relished. The many pleassnt features of the occasion, the music, the decorations, the beautiful day, the cordial reception, all conspired to make this one of the best . appreciated events of tbe season. The guests de parted at 6 p. m., thinking the time of separation had come only too soon. Is Fa vox ofDefekoast. By reference to tbe county court proceedings, it will be seen that tbe jury in the case of Bleak- ney vs. Cross rendered a verdict in fa vor of the defendant. The suit, which was begun by Mrs. Bleakney against U. Cross tor loOUO damages, alleged to have been sustained by her from being violently thrown down and trampled upon by a cow which was being driven through the streets of Salem by the de fendant, bas excited some little interest. It was brought to issue Wednesday, ana on yesterday was submitted to the jury at iu a. m. At 4 p. m. tne jury re turned a verdict as stated, it would ap pear, however, that there was in the be ginning some division of opinion as to the merits of the case. Ikdiax Stcdextk.

Oscar Kelty, the wife murderer, who is confined in the Polk county jail, has about recovered from his wounds, although he keeps np a show of being ill, so that he will be more closely guarded. A strong guard is kept around him day and night; but Sheriff droves is of the opinion that tbe excite ment occasioned bv the terrible deed has suilicientlv subsided to remove the guard. anu iiereaiier iveuv will ixi I octet! un like any other prisoner in his cell and be left to look out for himself.

Mr. Wallace agreed to this price. ile will go to work forthwith and put np a building suitable for tbe fruit-evaporating estab- liibment. which he will rent to the com pany which Is now being organized for that purpose.

Officers are scouring the npper end of Linn county, and yester day visited Halsey and other towns. They msy have found the right man, but in ail probaouity the real rete uisen is in some other section of country, while the shooting of men supposed to be him goes on as usual. The Dalles Psowsrsa. The following additional particulars concerning the sad drowning at The Dalles are contained in the Oregonian of yesterday: "Three young men, James Simple, Eddie Snipes and Harry Maber, and two young ladies Mollis and Lizzie Hov were boat rid ing on' the Columbia river Wednesday night at 9 o'clock. When opposite the freight depot the boat began to leak and cauMed excitement, and Uie boat capsized, throwing the occupants into the water.

Wednes day night, one at 11 and the other at 2. Eddie Snipes was a son ot Geo. R. Snipes. sged 20 years. The girl was about 20 years of age." Charges Redeemed. Judge Sharp- stein this morning, says the Walla Walla Journal, received notice from the inter state commerce commission that in the case of Milton Evans vs. the O. R. & Jf ., an order had been issued and served re quiring the O. R. & X. to make restitu tion to Evans in the amount claimed in the prayer of his petition, or to show cause on J uly 5th why such restitution should not be made. Evans shipped a car load of wheat to Portland, on which be paid ri per ton. This charge he set up in his complaint to be unreasonable and unjust, and asked for a return of S a ton on the shipment, and that an order be issued forever prohibiting the O. R. & N. from charsring a greater sum than 13 a ton on wheat from Walla Walla to Port land. erA vi i v . 1HK J. IV 8 INDEBTEDNESS.

The pur chasers will pot up a brick bnildine. but just what style has not yet been deter mined upon. An effort is being made to ouiid another brick block, to extend from tbe corner purchased to the Capital Na tional bank building. There is no doubt that such a black would pay well on the investment, and it would greatly enhance the appearance of the city. For Inmaxapoijs. Prof. Z. M.

Prof. Par vn will be the only representative from Oregon in that body, and will ait as a delegate by virtue of bis office of vice president of the M. T. N.

Its First; Ztttlzj jVzZtr&t: uzi mere Art Am Informal Session. ' , Tbe state military board convened Fri day, at the cspitol, in compliance with special orders No. 2, adjutant general's department. This waa the first meeting of that body, and tbe full board was pres ent, except Surgeon General Savior, who bad not arrived yesterday. The session - was very informal, being devoted principally to a general diaens- ston of the sew law and the board' power. The board will probably be in session nntil Tuesday, and will likely ad Voarn to-day at nooa until Monday, unless Dr. Baylor should arrive, as Col. Free man, I. G., desires to return to Portland at that time. Just what is the financial status of the Oregon National Guard at present, the board bas not definitely decided, although it is pretty generally understood that ow ing to the failure of the legislature to pro vide lor paying the expenses of the or gaiuzation from the present date, until the asaexsinent rolls are completed, and tne levy is made, there will he no gen eral encampment nntil next year. That will give the board time, and perhaps op- poruinuy, 10 imiy organize, nnuortn ana equip tbe entire organization, and to have them in perfect readiness for at tendance at such camp. The board yesterday decided on dirid ing the state into the following regimental districts: First Resiment. to include Multnomah, Clackamas, Yamhill. Wash ington, Columbia, Clatsop and Tilla mook counties: Second Reidment. to in elude Marion, Jinn, Polk, Benton, Lane Dowglas, Jackson. Coos. Curry. Khun ath and Lake Counties; Third Regiment, to include Wasco. Cook. Gilliam. Uma tilla, Wallowa, Grant, Baker, Union and Malheur counties. This is the natural division of tbe state, as in no case can a regiment contain over ten companies of infantry. The first retriment now ha eight companies and wul be entitled to a full regimental organization and staff. Tbe second now has five organized com panies, and will be entitled to a lienten aat colonel and staff. The board also decided that it would hold no more regular meetings this year, but would besrin in earnest next Januarv. and fixed the following as its regular dates of meeting in future: Second Mon dav in January, April, July and October. ine hoard wul meet again this morn ing and settle down to work in earnest. The Ixscasce Forger. Ex-Chief of Police Curtan, of Buffalo.N. Y.,arrived on last evening's train, for the punoe of examining Luther T. Dennis, confined in the county jail here since last week, and ascertaining if be is Bryant B. Crandall, me noted insurance forcer. Mr. Curtan went into the fail shortly after his arrival and met Dennis, tie is of the oninion that Dennis is not the man, but he has deferred critical examination antil to-dav so that he can be sure. If Dennis and r i it . .. iranuaii are not tne same, Uie resem blance, he says, is very striking. The features, form, and marks are remarka bly like, but Mr. Curtan says that Cran dali is slightly darker and a little older If the two aie not the same it is certainty strange that a mole on the neck, a scar on tne toot, and several other marks should be identical on two men. Mr. Curtan will remain in the city for several aays. Articles File. Articles incorporat ing the Portland Cable Railway company were filed in the office of the secretary of state; incorporators, T. G. Murphy, A. W. Wright, Jr., J. Carroll McCaffery and Jos. B. Thompson; capital stock $150, 000. The business of this incorporation is to lay down, build and maintain street railways and tramways, the cars . of said road to be propelled by horses and steam or other power applied by means of end less cables, and to do and perform all acts and things necessary to carry out the Sr poses for which the corporation was med. Arrested for Assault. Yesterday af ternoon James Farley was arrested upon complaint of Whitney Holman, for assault committed upon the latter. It appears that young Holman, with one of two other boys, had found Farley's cow in side the city limits, and in hopes of mak ing a little money, were driving her to tbe pound. Farley saw them just as the cow was about to be driven in. and be becsme so angered thereat that be jam med Holman up atrainst the inclosure. He will be tried Mondav in Recorder St tickler's court. Oi.i Iron ut Demand. Mr. Cherry, a foundry man of Albany, Linn county, is in the city, buying up all the old iron he can find and shipping it up the valley for recasting st his foundry. There is a great scarcity of iron in this state just at the present time, and much of that now in Portland is unavailable, bavins: been stored in lower wharves and being now under water. However, it is servimr a good purpose holding down the wharves, and won't suffer any damage from its summer submersion. I lortlanu Tele gram. Took a Header. Yesterday after noon, while Thos. Smith, son of Dr. T. C. Smith, waa coming down Uaietv Hill. In Sooth Salem, on bis bicycle, at a lively pace, the rubber tire of tbe by-wheel came on and caused bim to take a header. The young fellow struck cm hia left side and face. He was taken to hia home, where it was found that, although hadry bruised about the hin and fc. na bones were broken. He will be all rieht in a few days. Gave Boxm. Dr. L M. Davis, of Walla Walla, brother of I. G. IL Da vis, yesterday deposited with J.

The handsome lawn was picturesquely lighted by many Chinese lanterns, and rustic seats and tables were scattered here and there over the grounds. Tbe pleasure of tbe early part of the even ing was added to greatly by tbe strains of music from the H. A. C. band, which was giving one of its entertaining con certs in uson avenue. Alter several out-door games had been indulged In. luncheon, composed of the most choice of viands, was served under the trees and partaken of by the guests, while the most inspiring of music , wss rendered by Uie torn quartette, composed of Messrs, Coomer, Wain, Mack, and Ryley. After luncheon the company withdrew to the parlors, where tbe evening until a late hour was very enjoyably passed in cards, dancing, games, conversation, etc. The guests departed at midnight.

Dennis was discharged from custo ly i i ? i . , i j esieruaj, a critical examination navi-i satisfied ex-Chief Curtan, of Buffalo, th it he was not the man wanted. So sinKii- larly similar was the appearance of Dun nis with that of the description of Cran dail, however, that Mr. Curtan took down a minute account of Dennis' build, measurements, appearance, complexion. etc, and had a photograph of him taken which be will take east. Mr. Curtan says that the mistake of arresting Dennis as Crandall was natural, inasmuch as the peculiarities of appearance of the two men coincide in a remarkable manner. Dennis has a mole on his neck and a cut on his right foot the same as Crandall : bis height, bis measurements, his fea tures, the color of bis eyes, the shape of his nose and mouth are identical with that of the real criminal. Crandall is a little older, a little darker, has consider able refinement and a rood education, which Dennis bas not. Mr. Curtan start ed on his return trip to Buffalo yesierday. Ax Extended Trip. Some - time this week Judge John B. Waldo, Daniel W. Bass, and George Brown will leave upon an extended rusticating trip amonrat the Cascade mountains.

The party expects to be absent about four months. A Scccembfcl Affair. The excursion to Albany yesterday on the steamer Bent- ey was very successful. A large number of pleasure seekers left with the boat a lttle before seven o'clock a. m. and ar rived at Albany at noon. The reception they met with at Albany was warm, as s stated in a telegram to be found in an other column. The excursionists arrived here little after seven lasfevening, hav ing had an excellent time.

This firm, always enter prising, has prepared for to-day a dinner unusually excellent, even for Sunday din ners, for which the usual price of 50 cent will be charged, Don't neglect this op portunity of satisfying your critical taste.

On the other star routes it would ap pear that service need not be maintained between the railroads, and therefore route No. 44,120 (Salem to Knight) will be continued as curtailed, to bein at Macleay. and route No. 44.252. from Jef ferson to Scio, will be discontinued. ery respectfully, A.

In this meta physical or pyschical experiment as eacn one irom nis or her stand point, may choose to consider it no altar can be desecrated, no rule of religious faith rio- sted, and all intelligent people, pro fessed religionists or otherwise, must feet disposed to respectfully consider the pro position. The power of concentrated thought is admitted by all thinkers ; and to what more noble ends could the subtle - power be directed than to strengthen the bonds of fraternity and illuminate the human mind in regard to the needs of the soid ? Those for whom it will not be con venient or practicable to retire to a oniet room during tbe time of the communion, may direct their thoughts in tlte suraested channels, as intently as possible, while attending to their every-day duties. The project having originated in Salem, to which the thoughts of vsst multitudes will undoubtedly be directed within the ap pointed time, it is hoped the conditions here for communion will be as favorable as possible. Let the minds of all, regard less of race, creed, or social rank, be harmonized to Uie experiment. Metaphysician. Sai.i:m, June 25. Cabinets Foua Dolxaks rtn Dozes.
