A Trip to Corvai.lis. Last Friday
evening an excursion party of about sixty
five went from this city to Corvallis to at
tend the entertainment for the benefit of the
reading room of that city. The ride both
ways was a most enjoyable one, full of elec
trical sparks and snap. The program for
the entertainment was furnished by Al
bany people, assisted by a local orchestra.
A nice and choice audience, filling nearly
the body of the city hall, greeted our young
people. The program consisted of several
tongs by a quartet Messrs. Pritcliard, Fort'
miller, Irvine and Woodworth, the H.itche1
Dartv. recitations bv Misses Laura Vance
, "t and Helen Crawford and FlowerdnTTby the
' young ladies of the Congregational Church.
f A pleasing feature of the Hatchet party
i that attracted considerable attention was a
f young ladies quartet, consisting of Misses
? Irvine and Robertson and the Airs. Power
I, and Nutting, in which all the parts were
1 represented, the bass particularly being lin-
mense.

Mas Aiiout Town. AH people who
do not pick their teeth with a crowbar this
evening will please come forward and sub
scribe for the Daily Ukmocrat. Those
who do will have to pay double price. It
Is much nicer to come freely and open
handed than to be asked; but if asked do
not squeeze your fifteen cents and kick the
interlocutor out of doors. Reallv, he wont
mean anything bad. The Man about Town
is going to stay wiih the daily, and if any
one knows anything cute or serious, wh.e
or not wise, It will go well with him if he
will report at once at our sanctum two
doors south of Ur. Adams peanut and
candy stand.
Tiik First Oregon Str awrrr ribs.
Last Friday morning, Mr. Wm. Peacock
God bless hit perennially big heart enter
ed the Ukmocrat office with the first ripe
Oregon strawberries brought to Ablany this
season. Most luscious of all berries, his
first offerings are always gladly received at
the Democrat office. Last year Mr. Pea
cock brought in the first strawberries on
May 24th, in 1SS6 on or about May loth, in
1S85 on April 23rd.
Cows. It would be of great benefit to
Albany if it had a Cow Ordinance of such a
nature that the fences of the city could be
taken down entirely. That -is the way a
gentleman tells a Ukmocrat man they da
in the Fast, and everybody keeps a cow
too.
S Wrestling Match. A wrestling
'J match between an Albany man and a Van
1 Couvcr man, catch-us-catch-can, It Is re
! ported, Is to take place In Albany some-
time during this week. Stakes, $100. Par-
ticulars not given.
.'' Will Come to Albany Mr. Milt
. Miller, of Lebanon, has purchased the drug
store of Archie Prushaw, of this city, and
will move to this city, lie has contracted
, for the sale of his Lebanon drug store to a
young man whose name we have not
i learned.
,i Hanii Hurt. Hank Hayes, while en
. gaged In the foundry of Jas. Cherry' this
morning, had his hand caught In the gear
, Ing of the michln-rr, which resulted in
; breaking the little finger of his left hand
:X at the third joint and crushing It badly at
the second joint.
Vol.. 1. No I. These words often mean
silting in a chair without any bottom and
covered willi paper. You go through
before you know It. The Democrat
makes no big pretentions and expects no
enormous results immediately; but it is
going to try to till its field as well as It knoA-s
how. It wl.l try and stand up for the
rigid and condemn the wrong and give all
the news every evening that can be ob
tained; but it should be remembered that
the field is bounded and even newspaper
men do not know or hear everything. Peo
ple who have never experienced the feeling
know nothing about what it is to, be out of
news with some hungry compositors
around. Always make it a point to tell the
newspaper men everything and do not take
it for granted that they know it already.
Want a Band Stand. The mem
bcrs of the Juvenile band, of tills city,
would like a band stand on the public
square from which to give open air con
certs during the summer. They should
have one by all means, one willi some
style to it and a dour that locks and no
posts to climb. We said public square.
As a matter f fact it Is a private squire,
and we'll not swear as to who owns it; but
there aught to be a band stand on it, if
only by courtesy of the Man in the Moon.
Rioht Kind ok Training, The hose
team of this city is receiving the kind of
training young men might well receive
during life. Cigarettees and intoxicating
drink are absolutely proscribed. If these
tilings should not go with young men in
training for tournaments they should not
be permitted in any other field. We need
clerks and laborers with as good blood as
running firemen.
The Crops. Reports to the Democrat
office from different parts of the the county
indicate bright prospects for a large crop of
wheat. Spring wheat is in its glory.
Among the wheat sown in the fall the
Landreth wheat Is reported generally to
have Hood the freeze out with the stiffest
upper lip.
The Unlucky Steamer. The Queen
of the Pacific, which sunk at San Louis
Obispo, Cal., last week, has been raised'
Several Albany gentlemen who were en
the same steamer September 2, 1884, when
it went down at Clatsop Beach, congratu
late themselves on being on dry land.
These gentlemen have never been on the
ocean since then
Cultis Hoodlums A few days ago a
couple boys noted for the possession of an
immense amount ef "pure cassedness,"
took four or five smaller boys and literally
covered their faces with black grease from
an engine, making a job that must have
caused the little bovs' mothers a large
amount of trouble. There may be some
satisfaction in their knowing that it was
young Cunningham and acott who did it,
Our Amateurs. Members of the G
A. R. and VP, R. C, of this city, assisted
by other local talent, will joon present the
lovely drama "Force of Impulse." The
splendid impression they made in their last
piay win give many an Impulse to attend,
It Pays. A school teacher who adver
tised for a school writes us: "lam pleased
to Inform you that through the "ad."in your
paper I was successful In getting a school."
Thos. Rogers saw J. P. Hails bicycle "ad."
in the Democrat, came to this city and on
Friday bought a ;z inch Columbia, The
moral is plain.
IIuNTiNii. The suit of G, W Hunt, the
contiactor, against the O. P.has been trans
ferred to the U. S. courts, ihe plaintiff now
being a resident of another state. It is
quite a trick in Oregon to become residents
of oilier states for this purpose.
Drank Some Conckntr atkii Lye.
A little son of K. D. Underwood, aged two
years, who recently arrived in Linn county,
from the Fast, helped himself to some con
centrated lye last Friday, and In a few
hours died from the effects of the dose.
Burned. Leslie Mattoon, formerly of
this city, now station agent at Stampede
Tunnel, was quite badly burned one day
last week. The station house caught on
fire in the night time.
Ai.taoo. This gamy horse may now be
found at Schmeer's llycry stable in this city
on Fridays and Saturdays, and the rest of
the time at J. W. MeKnlght's farm fonr
miles west of Lebanon. Horsemen wil 1
take notice.
Building and Loan Association.
Prominent citizens are contemplating the
organization of one of these associations,
which are proving in other places not only
paling institutions but as well of great
convenience to a city.
Brick Dust. One of the spiciest writers
In the Valley is Brick Dust, of Chicken
Bristle. One nf his letters appears on our
first page, which by nil means read.
Fi.i Perkins, This celebrated gentle
man has lloivn nil around Albany, but
dared not strip and compete with some of
our local prevaricators. It takes a brave man
to do that.
Low Tariff. Milt Miller will open his
durg store, just purchased of Archie Pru
shaw to-morrow, and low t.iriff will be his
motto.
Weather Indications. For 24 hours,
beginning at 7 p. in. Fair weather, fo Bow
ed by local showers, slightly cooler.
Lost. On Tangent read, May 4, a ladies
wrap, golden Lrown. Leave at L. E.

From Conductor Kennedy, and a brake-
man, on the Oregon Pacific R. It. we learn
incomplete particulars of a wilful boy mur
der that occurred at Mill 4, fjr miles this
side of Yaquina City, yesterday afternoon at
four o'clock.
It seems that just a week previous the
18 year old son of A. W. Wright and the
14 year old son of F. W. Miller were in the
same cliiss in Mabbatli School together when
the teacher asked young Wright a question
which he could not answer ; but which
young Miller immediately answered cor
rectly. After school had closed the V right
boy "codded" the Mi.ier boy about being f-o
much "smarter than he. Ihe Mi.lerboy
went into a passion ; but did nothing at the
time. A week pai.se;! without their feeing
each other. After Sabbath Sclrxil yester
day young W right j -kin'ly asked the
Miller boy if lie was ready to settle their
difficulty.
Yes, you d d S of b , said young
Miller, and stepping up to the former, drew
a case knife, sharpened to a point, evidently
for the purpose, and run it five inches into
younng Wright's left breast, just alxive the
heart, severing the large artery running into
the lungs, from the effects of which the poor
boy died in a very few moments. Bert Van
Cleve rode a horse nearly to death to New
port to get a 6urgcon ; but had I here been
one there at the time nothing could have
saved the life of young Wright. Two or
three other boys witnessed the affair. A
Coroner's jury found that the deceased came
to his death by wilful murder at the hands
of young Miller. The boy was arrested
and will be Liken to Corvallis to-morrow
where he will be p'accd in the county jail.
The affair caused a genuine sensation all
over the Hay country.
To the Thinking People ok Albany-
Friends : Inasmuch as this is the day
and age of sensational advertising and every
business man is racking his brain trying to
concoct some scheme whereby he can get
ahead of his neighbor. We wish to deviate
rom that rule and make the fallowing state'
ments, knowing that they will be appre-
dated by all lovers of truth and justice. We
are here In business for the purpose of
making money and we realize that in order
to accomplish that object we must have a
continuance of our large patronage. Furth
ermsre we know that this can be assured
only by extreme effort on our part and we
wish to state that we will at all times give
you first-class goods at prices as low or
lower than any house in Albany and in aj
dition allow you c ner cent off on all cash
purchases. The statement made by some
dealers mat they can buy cneaper man
others Is folly in the extreme as all cash
buyers have equal advantages one with an
other. What we are striving to do is to
merit your patronage and we hope by
square, upright dealing to do so and be of
mutual benem one to anotner.
