The festive'.burglar is getting in his work with the regularity of the clock, hardly a night passing that he is not heard from. The safe in Haines' bank at Forest Orove was broken into early yesterday morning, the door of the vault blown off and the safe door badly shattered and torn from its hinges. The fact that the inner door of the safe was not opened leads the ofth-iul of the bank to tielieve that the Imrglari were frightened away. The damage to the safe and vault is thought to tie alsmt $1,500. Not a dollar in money was secured, and no clue to the burglars bus been obtained.

Mr. O'Coiuicr had been missing since New Year's day. and he was last seen about 7:30 in the evening in the vicinity of the dock. He waa sober inhabits and there are no marks of violence as yet discovered. That he accidently fell from the dock is the only theory ad vanced. It was Indeed a sad occurrance at the court house Wednesday when Minnie Lursman, of Tualatin, was committed to the insane asylum for the second time, and was taken to that refuge in the evening by Sheriff Council, accompanied by Mrs. Susie Morgan. The poor girl, who is 23 years old, realized her con dition and lagged pittifully not to te seut away.

The ladies w ho are inuniliers of the II dishorn Circle are among the niot influential and lH-nevolcnt in the city and should certainly receive the SHsiHtance of the Christian people iu this vicinity. I). J. Porter came up from Gaston Monday morning and started at once to renew old acquaintances mid to mater ially reduce the supply of tangle-foot. After getting on a load sufficient to down a dray horse, be started for the deHt with the intention of returning home, but since his arrival in the morning the streets had become very much contract ed, uneven and bulged in Sots and la vid found the road to Jordan a hard one to travel. He got there at last, how ever, but his jsTsonal appearance show ed that he hud run up against many dillicullies mid other things, lilood wus running down the side of his fare, where he had come in contact with the uneven walk, his none was celcd and some where along the route he had urted with his spectacles, so that w hen he de manded a ticket for I illcy the 23 cents he clutched in his hand looked to him like $17. .V), and be was very wroth at Station Agent Hinshaw because he would not give him a ticket and the right change. At this juncture it was evident that Pavid needed a friend, so Marshal Atkinson took companion on him and escorted him to his hotel in city hall. Tuesday morning Porter awoke a trille dazed and a bit nervous and when taken before Justice Bagley he admitted that he had lieen ri (-roaring drunk and was ready to take his medicine like a dutiful child. The kind hearted i net ice felt for the penitent Da vid ami found him and with moisture in his eyes told the expectant man that he could either put $10 where it would do the most goisl or go up and visit the boys at the court house for Ave days. "And, Ihivid," said the justice, "you can shorten your sentence if you want to, thou.'li you d not have to do so, by putting in four days on the ditch," uml the projmsition was accept ed. I lo said he was guilty, ought to be punished, and didn't want to put the county to any unnecessary expense, ho the street gang lias one more helper and the Second street ditch is moving right along. Pisir "liive" Porter, bis ape t'te is stronger then his will. , He braces up and tries to reform, but his reforma tion is only of short duration. If the saloonkeepers of Washington county wish to do Porter a kindness they can do it by refusing to let him have a drink under any circumstance L'uless this is done one of two things is Ixuind tn hapjK'n the asylum or and untimely death. And who will lie responsible ? Died. John F. Keeuian died at the horn of bis istrents, Francis M. and Katie Keeman, on January nth, VMV, of tuler culosit of the lungs, aged l'J year and 22 dava. Deceased wai liorn in this vicinity on December, Mth, 1HH6.

The qualifying examination to be ta ken by applicants for the Rhode schol arship for l!K)5 will lie held at the Uni versity of Oregon, Eugene, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 17 and 18. Of Impoitance to Farmers. An effort will lie made at the present session of the legislature to pass a law to prohibit the sale of milk which t sts lie low 3.2 or 3.5 per cent. Now, if this bill becomes a law, it will virtually confis cate many of the best cow and espe cially those of the Holsteln and Short Horn breeds, aa the cow taking the first prize at our state fair two years ago, was a Holsteln cow which tested 2.5 per cent, and was owned by P. A. F rakes of Sea poose. The farmer wants just as many market for his milk as he can reach, and every dairyman should write a let ter to Senator E. W. Haines and Repre sentative Newell, Flint and Barnes, bow at Salem, asking each of them to work against and defeat such a meas ure. If dairymen do not wish luch a law, they must write at once today and ask their neighUirs to do the same, for if this bill becomes a law it will ruin the dairy interests of Washington county and depreciate the value of land besides.
