Company G, of Albany, went down to defeat before the Dallas college basket-ball champions to the tune of 34 to 1 in a game played in the college gymnasium last Saturday evening. The O. N. G. team put up a fairly good game, but were so badly out classed by the college boys that the contest was dull and uninteresting to the spectators from start to 'finish. Dallas threw goals at will, and had the ball in their possession fully three fourths of the time. The presence of another team on the floor did not ap pear to prevent them in the least from handling the ball in any manner they pleased. Albany threw no field goals, and but one goal from the foul line. Dallas scored 17 points in each half of the game. The soldier boys are gentlemanly players, and took their defeat good naturedly. The teams lined up as follows : Dallas Position Company G Teats Forward Rupert Wilson " Dolan Poling center McDaniel Hoffman Guard Bilyeu Ford, Gates " Ketchum The preliminary game between the Eickreall and Dallas athletic clubs was the more interesting contest of the two. The game was highly amusing to the spectators, and the individual members of each team came in for a large share of good-natured "joshing" at the hands of friends in the crowd. What the game lacked in skill was made up for by main strength and awkwardness, and the interest of the spectators was never allowed to cease for a moment on account of a lack of "something doing." Billy Rowell, of Rickreall, acted as referee, and had his eye with him at all times. His de cisions throughout the game were satisfactory to both teams. The final score was 15 to 8. The teams lined up as follows : Dallas Position Eickreall N. Guy, B. Guy Forward WT. Burch Muscott " Lucas Brown Center L. Burch Williams Guard Koser A. Ford " Southwick Married in Dallas. Henry W. Bancroft and Mrs. Electa Richardson, both of Falls City, were married at the home of Mr. and Sirs. E. L. Ingalls, in this city, Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, Rev. W. T.

The hop market reached boiling point Saturday, and at times came nearly boiling over, when 27 cents was repeatedly offered and refused for merely prime lots of hops, says the Salem Statesman. Two poor lots, which were not wanted at one time, sold for the handsome sum of 25 cents per pound. John Schindler sold his lot of 00 bales for this price to Jos. Harris, buyer for Benjamin Schwartz & Sons, who also bought another lot of over 100 bales. W. H. Egan sold 43 bales of medium hops to Krebs Bros, for 25 cents per pound, and the Skiff and Shields lot of 253 bales were bought by B. O. Schucking & Co. for 25 cents. Thos. Holman sold his large lot of 354 bales of prime hops for 27 cents per pound. J. Carmichael bought the Moore lot of 100 bales from Mc Minnville, paying for them 26J cents. Sales were also made in other sec tions of the state, and at prices report ed to be above 27 cents. Pearl Hedges, one of Independence's popular young men, came over and played slide trombone in the Dallas orchestra at the band boys' ball, Saturday night. Was Always Very Pale and Thin. Nervous Prostration Faint Spells. Dr. Miles' Nervine Saved My Life. There is great aatijjer in a run down con dition. Overwork, mental strain, the cares and worries of business and the home, all have a deleterious effect upon the nerves, which in their devitalized condition readily fall prey to the attacks of disease. Aside from the danger there is no condition at tended by so many disagreeable symptoms; such as loss of appetite, indigestion or nerv ous dyspepsia, headache, tired feeling and loss of ambition together with the agony of sleepless nights spent in tossing restlessly about, only to rise exhausted in the morning. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a true nerve tonic which, by strengthening the nerves, restores health and appetite and brings sweet sleep. Tor six years I suffered almost constantly from a complication of troubles which culmi nated in complete nervous prostration. I had no appetite, I could not sleep, I suffered from indigestion and nervousness. As is so jften the case in nervous prostration I fre mently had weak, faintine spells. Doctors lid not help me. They said my blood was lery poor, and I know my face was always very pale. The very first bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine I took gave me noticeable relief and I felt stron er fian I had m years. My neihbrs in Puvallup, Wash, where I then nved will testify to this. I also used some of Dr. M;ies' Restorative Tonic and Anti-Pain P lis. I b-lieve the Dr. Miles Remedies savei my life." Mrs. J.

The fifth annual Angora Goat Show closed last Friday night, after a two days' exhibition. The interest dis played by breeders was remarkable, and the animals exhibited this year were far superior to those shown at former fairs. The poultry exhibit wasalso much better than that of any past year, and the display of sheep and hogs was an attractive feature of the show. The goats were judged by John W. Fulton, of Kansas City, Mo., secretary of the American Angora Goat Breed ers' Association. Mr. Fulton, previous to his election as secretary, devoted his entire time to the breeding of An gora goats in Montana, and he still has extensive interests in that state, He is known far and wide as a suc cessful goat breeder, and the mana gers of the Dallas show feel that they were most fortunate in securing his consent to judge the stock and make the awards. Mr. Fulton was enthusiastic in his praise of the Oregon goat, and when asked his opinion of this exhibition as compared with other exhibitions he has visited in the last three or four years, replied : '.'You may make my answer as strong as you like, for I am frank to say that this show, in the aprgreerate. is the finest I have ever visited. Of course, I have seen in dividual imported specimens that are finer than any here, but as an aggre gation of anything like the same number, this is the best I have ever seen. The climatic conditions of Western Oregon appear to be highly favorable to the growth of fine mo hair, "continued Mr. Fulton, "and I do not believe that any place in America outside the Willamette Valley can dis play such a number of exceptionally good goats as are here today. This is a great mohair country ; the breeders are progressive and up-to-date, and Western Oregon is sure to become known the world over as a country producing mohair of the best grade."

The Horse. "Here's to that bundle of sentiment and nerves, with the heart of a woman, the eye of a gazelle, the courage of a gladiator, the docility of a slave, the proud carriage of a king and the blind obedience of a soldier ; the com panion of the desert plain, that turns the moist furrows in the Spring in order that all the world may have abundant harvest; that furnishes the sport of kings; that with blazing eye and distended nostrils fearlessly leads our greatest generals through carnage and renown; whose blood forms one of the ingredients that go to make the ink In which all history is written, and who, finally, in black trappings, pulls the humblest of us to the newly sodded threshold of eternity."

The printers in the State Printing Office are now hard at work upon the 43d Oregon Supreme Court report. This is the first time in many years that the reports have been set up by hand composition, as it has been cus tomary with Mr. Whitney's pre decessors to have them set by machine. This deviation from the precedents meets the approval of the typograph ical unions, as it give3 more men employment and is more satisfactory all around. The hand composition work is more expensive by about $250 or $300 to the volume, but thi3 amount Mr. Whitney pays out of his own pocket, and gives the printers the benefit The Legislature has regu lated the amount which shall be paid for each volume of the reports which is printed, and it makes no difference to the state, so far as the expense is concerned, how they are set up.

Talbott Submits Proposition to Furnish Rock for City Streets. J. S. Talbott appeared beforo the city council Monday evening and sub mitted a proposition to furnish crushed rock to the city in any quantity de sired for uso in street building. He proposes to supply this material in three different sizes, at a cost to the city of $1 a yard, the rock to be of first class quality for street purposes. The crusher is to be located near the city, and the rock to be delivered inside the city limits. After a brief discussion, the proposition was referred to the street committee for further investiga tion. It is not understood that the city is asked to bind itself to purchase any stated amount of crushed rock each month or year, but rather a question of whether the streets shall hereafter be made of rock instead of gravel, whenever any improvement is ordered. The members of the council re sponding to roll-call were Cosper, Boals, Simonton, Muscott and Shaw ; absent, Belt and Muir. Claims against the city were ordered paid as follows : A. L.

Hughes died at his home near Falls City at 10 o'clock last Fri day night. His death was caused by a gunshot wound inflicted by the accidental discharge of a 40-65 Win Chester rifle. The accident occurred on the old Hughes place a few miles southwest of Oakdale. While working at the house with his brother, Pearl, and B. J. Harring ton, he took his rifle and went out to shoot a hawk, He fired twice, and a few minutes after the second report of the gun the men heard him call for help. They went to his assistance and found him lying face downward on the ground, about 200 yards from the house. In his right side was a gap ing bullet wound, and he was bleed ing profusely. His companions carried him into the house and im mediately summoned medical aid from Falls City and Dallas. When tho doctors arrived, an ex amination of tho wound was made, and it was found that the bullet had entered his right side just below the first rib. Two ribs were broken, and the upier portion of tho liver and the lower part of the right lung were torn away and the ball had passed out near the spine. From a statement made by the un fortunate young man to Mr. Harring ton a short time after the awful acci dent occurred, it appears, that the discharge of the gun was purely accidental. He was standing on a slippery log when ho attempted to shoot, and the first time he pulled the trigger the hammer failed to work. He began a hasty examination of the weapon to ascertain the cause of the trouble, and while so engaged his feet slipped off the log and he fell to the ground. In his fall, the gun was dis charged and tho bullet penetrated his right side. Realizing that he was badly hurt, he fired the gun a second time in tho- hope of attracting the attention of his companions at the house. He then struggled to his feet and started toward the house, but was soon overcome by tho loss of blood ii nd ilie deadly pain of the wound and again fell to the ground, where ho was found a tew minute later. of Mo .lone, of this oily, IK.ffaa iiboiit 12 years- old, and was soon to Ij-iv-i- b'"'it murried to an ctimnbl young lady living in his neighbor hood. His tragic death has cast a gloom over the community in which ho resided, and his aged parents are prostrated with grief. The burial services were conducted at the Odd Fellows' cemetery near Falls City, Sunday afternoon, by Rev. J. M. Green, of Dallas, and were largely attended by friends and neighbors of tho bereaved family. McElmurry Was a Pioneer.

The goat is supposed to be a joke. He is herded with the mugwumps. He is always called Billy. Tho maiden namo of his spouso is Nanny. Hi3 son is a kid until maturity. The goat is ordinarily written down as most immoral. He has tho reputa tion of lightly regarding all the com mandments. If he paid any attention whatever to Bellinger and Cotton's code it would be in the way of masti cation. Billy and Nanny and their offspring are charged with many offenses. They are accused of coveting their neighbors goods, and going farther. Shade trees, vegetation of every de scription, groceries, and even tho dump heaps, are included in tho ordi nary classification of a goat's diet. His whiskers are treated with dis respect. His eye is never regarded with admiration. His thoughts seem always to be the thoughts of the wick- ed, and his tastes tho tastes of tho obscene.
