The complaint alleges that D. R. Ruble, soo of plaintiff, in 188S deposited with Ladd A Bash a note for $3500 asainet Js. W.

Just outside of the city limits, in North Salem, a man named CoeteMo keeps a dive, where men congregate on Sunday, get drunk, and make fools of themselves generally. On last Sunday night there was a drunken crowd in the place that veiled and bel lowed worse than a paca of Comanche Indians. Ii this is not keening a disor derly house, disturbing the public peace, or violating the state Sonday law, what is it 7 This man should either be com pelled to keep a decent place or closed up permanently. He has no respect for the laws of the land, and be should be taught some respect. It is understood that a lot of drunken scrubs in North Salem Sunday night beat one of their companions almost to death, and it is more than probable that they got their fighting incentive from the den of infamy kept by this man Costello. Town Time. Considerable complaint has been made about the ' town time and the railroad time being at variance, and as a consequence of the former being about eight minutes slower than the latter, many intending paseenzers on the O.AC, road have succeeded in miaeine the train. Almost every one who has noticed the difference has concluded without investigation that the town clock was slow. But it transpires that the town clock is within one minute of Pacific coast standard time, by which trains are supposed to be run, and that the railroad time is off. The calcula tions for securing the correct time are made periodically by W. W. Martin, with a transit, and with a degree of care which leaves no doubt as to their accura cy, and tbe very siiKbt variations of nts regulator noted. The town clock is with the regulator. For Mount Jefferson. This morning a party consisting of Ed N. Edes, John Dinsmore, Douglas Minto, Thede Potter, C. N. Potter and John Minto, Sr., leaves for the vicinity of Mt. Jefferson, to be stone a month or six weeks. An immense tot of ammunition is being taken along. and the time will be spent in hunting, fishing, etc. On the evening of Monday Auzust loth, the party, having made as nearly as possible the ascent to the top of the mountain, will burn fifty pounds of red fire, which they are taking along for purposes of illumination. If the night is clear, the siznt Irom this citv win ne much prettier than the one from Mt. Hood on July 4th, Uncus Jeshk Api-i.eo ate In speak ing of the release of Uiu'.e Jesse Apple sate and bis arrival at his southern Ore- icon home, a Roseburg paper says: "Un cle Jesse Applegate. who recently re turned from the asjlnm, was in Roseburg last Friday, shaking hands with many of his old friends, who are truly rlad to see him so well and active for a man of his advanced rears. It is really sad that the old man is so burdened with trouble, the marks of which can be plainly seen upon his br-w, although he now appears quite cheerful. IIih many friends do heartily welcome him hom." Attacked uy a Bill. On Saturday morning while the wife of Wm.

Friends of lYof. Powell, late presi dent of the university, will regret to learn that there is little horn ol his ultimate recovery. Although removed to Port Towneend, in hopes that a change of air and quiet would benefit him, he is no better, and there is not raot n proepec that be will be. Boy Drowsed. By drowning, Frede rick Howe, 9 years old, lost bis life in the Willamette river, nearly opposite Sellwood, Saturday evening at 7 o'clock Fiddv's parents live tn r.asi roruand ami thev. in company with other, were camping on the river bank, not far from River tew cemetery. iooniiiwH paddling abtxit in a ooai wnicn capeuea. lie crmed for help, buf he could not h aaved.

Ax KENT Fjlbx to sb. Bold. The of the Dundee Mortgage Trust Divestment Company vs. A. P. Ankeny, Henrv Ankeny and others, to forecloae a mort gage on the well-known Ankeny farm in Marioa county, came up in the U. 8, circuit court in Portland, Monday, says the Oregon ian. - The farm comprises 4000 acres of land, and the two mortga ges on it amount with interest to $69,000. Jude Deady made a decree directing the land to be sold to pay these mortgages and a small one held by Wm.'Cosper, also attorneys fees amounting to $1,380. t is decreed that if defendants prefer to have the land sold in small lots it can be so sold if they will divide it as they wish, and make a map of it. After it has been sold in lots it must then be offered in bulk, and if it sells for more ia one lot than the sums offered for the small lots amount to, then it shall go in one lot. After the sums above mentioned are paid. the balance is to be paid into the registry of the court pending the decision in jndgment against Henry Ankeny in favor of J. II. Woodward. Thx Free Delivery. Few people in Salem have more to do than the carriers of the free delivery letters. Two collec tions of letters and papers are made daily one before the early morning and one before the early evening train. On Mon day over four hundred tetters and about three hundred papers were distributed, and nearly as many collected. A distri bution of letters and papers over the en tire city is made after the arrival of the 8 o'clock California express and in the afternoon, and a distribution over the business part of the city is made after the 11 o'clock train and after the evening train. From the way in which the busi ness of the system has increased, it would appear that the free delivery sys-J tern is an assured success, and is giving the best of satisfaction. Broke Jail. Shortly after noon Mon day, at Chemawa, it was discovered that the three Indian students, Perry Wood ruff, Isaac Brew, and Robert Brew, had escaped though the roof of the guard house where they had been confined, and again left for parts unknown. It ap peared that they bad made their ecate while the rest of the school was at dinner by unfastening a board of the roof. Measures for their capture were immedi ately taken, and a number were, sent down below the school to fill up every avenue of escape in that direction. The boys, after having been gone several hours, returned and gave themselves up, concluding that escape was impossible. Military Expedition. The party from Fort Vancouver which is to make a sum mer campaign in the Cascade mountains, left East Portland southward bound on Saturday. It consisted of fifty infantry and fifty artillery. They will be joined at Albany by General Gibbon. I hey wm pass through the Warm Spring Indian reservation and cross the Cascade moun tains, joining a party of- fifty cavalry from Fort Walla Walla whi jb has already set out for a like campaign, skirting tbe Cascade range in eastern Oregon. The two parties will meet at Fish Lake, in Crook county. Tbe boys will find it pretty hot work marching up the Wil lamette valley this weather. Arrested isd Fixed.

Costello was arraigned hofnrA JastifA Pavnfl urwl itlAAled OTliltV. " - j r f j and was fined $5 and costs, amounting in all to $15.95, which he paid. The geod people of North Salem, who live in the vicinity of Costello's saloon, have become very tired of the actions of the disreputa ble gang which on Sundays congregates at his place, and propose to see that n tne future he keeps a reasonably orderly sal'jon. Leu Erokxn. Yesterday morning, about 1 o'clock, while W. 8. Bright, farmer a! the Indian school, was at Ger vaU wi.h several Indian students, watching for the runaway Indian boys, be broke his right leg by attempting to mount a pile of lumber and palling it over on hisiimn. vena me noma ana a w 4 t 1 a the t inula of the leg were fractored. Medical assistance was summoned from this city and the fracture reduced.

The suit of Ruth Ruble vs. Ladd A Bush is to recov er $o28.61, money which was intended to be paid by tbem to Kuth Ruble, but which was tramisheed while in their hands by M. M.

The teachers are the same as those who served during the past year, with the exception of Mr. Sellwood and Miss Gillingham, who are additional. Mr. Willis offered for the eon aider Lion of the board the following resolutions : Whereas, Objections have been made recently by a number of prominent citizens and taxpayers of the district to tbe further employment of a city super intendent of schools who is not one of the teachers thereof, on the grounds: 1st, That it is not sanctioned by law in this, that the legislature has made no provision for the employment of a special superintendent in any district containing nnder 10,000 inhabitants, and has provided that all districts containing less than that num ber shall be under the supervision of the county superintendent ; Z. That as this district contains about one-third of the population and pars about one-third of Abe taxes of Marion county, it is entitled to the services of the county superintendent for at least one third of his time ; and if the county super intendent gave to this district one-third or even one-fourth of his time, the em ployment of a city superintendent would be unnecessary and therefore a useless expense ; 3. That any and all duties of a super intendent of city schools which the coun ty superintendent could not perform while on duty in other districts in the county would be performed by the prin cipal teacher of the schools without impairing their efficiency in any par ticular; and, hereas. We recognize tbe importance of having a county superintendent whose rrq -ure men t and experience will render him fully competent to perform the very important duties of bis positioo, and knowing the impossibility of securing tbe services of such person without a salary commensurate with such services ; there fore, Resolved, That tbe employment of city superintendent of schools be discon tinued until such time as the district shall contain a popnlation of ten thousand, or until the legislature shall authorize the employment of a superintendent in dis tricts containing as small a population as this. Resolved, That the principal of the East Salem school shall be required to perform tbe duties of superintendent, of all the district schools during the absence of the county superintendent. Kesoived, In at to enable the principal to perform tbe duties of superintendent, a supernumerary teacher be employed to take charge of the principal's room dur ing his necessary absence, and to take charge of any room .during the absence of a teacher from whatever cause, and whose farther duty it shall be to teach penmanship in all the scbeoW of the city. Resolved. That the county court of Marion county be furnished with a copy of these resolutions, and requested to fix the salary of the county superintendent of schools at not less than $1,200 per an num. On motion, consideration of the above resolutions was deferred until the next regular meeting of the board. Contract Awarded. The contract of furnishing the asylum with beef for the five months beginning August 1st, and ending January 1st, wss on yesterday awarded to E. C. Cross by the asylum commissioners, for $4.93 per hundred pounds. The asylum nses about 400 pounds of beef per day. and the contest for securing the contract was warm.

He will bring out about 150 ponixla of ore each from several of the veins of thewe mines, and send them to the Portland reduction works, to be tested. This will be a practical test of the question as to tbe richness of these mines, and if the test proves satisfactory, with the growing interest in mines in the northwest, there is liable to be a second Orur d'Alene up there yet. and Salem may be another Sacramento.
