Thin af ternoon abuutons o'clock the 2 year old girl of John Dtringer, the butcher, picked up a can about half full of each concent rat ed lye and water with which her mother had beea cleaning a sink, and drank It. Dr Maston was sent for about an hour a f ter' wards and did all he could for the child ; but it was doubted if she could live. This makes the third cane in this vicinit y recently. The two others proved fatal and this one probably will. The warning is a terrible ene to mothers. Do not risk the lives of the little ones with the stuff. Discharged. The Democrat has al ways been opposed to bringing family quar rels Into court. Mr. J. J. Rozelle, Of Sweet Home, who was arrested Tuesday for assaulting his son-in-law, Mr. Morris, . war tried before Justice Humphrey this morning, Hon. L. H. Montaaye appearing for the prosecution and Capt. Humphrey and 1). R. N. Blackburn for the defense. After hearing the testimony the justice discharged the prisoner. His head was level. According to the testimony it was a family quarrel with a kaife in it that snould never have gone farther than the front gate. New Stkamkr. Tuesday night the common council ratified the action of the mayor and recorder in contracting for a new Clapp & Jones engine, which promises to be a fine oae. It will be double pumps i fourth class. The two engine companies have also been doing something for them selves. No. I having ordered a hose cart, to gj wita the suamsr, auj No. a a new heater, both at their own expense.

Moore, joe Kendall and Burr Sloan. The tender boys also have a fast team In train ing. Sudden Change. One of the most sudden changes ever to occur In temper ature happened a day or two ago. ; Speak ing of changes it is noticeable that cus tomers of Conn Bros., the popular grocery men, never change. They get such good goods and fine treatment that they con tinue right along with them. You can get crockery ware remarkably cheap of them as well as groceries. Held. Young Miller, the bor mur derer, was examined yesterday at Yaquina Bay and held to await the action of the grand jury without bail. He was brought to Corvallis on the noon train. Bis par ents feel very badly about the matter. There is quite a feeling in Benton county that, though guilty, the boy will not quite hang: By the way this seems not to be a hanging age. Delinquency. Sheriff Smith Informs us that the delinquency In taxes this ytar will only be about $10,000, some less than last year. The amount collected under the assessment by the sheriff has beea about $1700. To Ashland. Archie Johnson, of Scio, and Roscoe Illblcr, recently of Corvallis, have formed a co-partnership, bought out a boat and shoe store nt Ashland and will go to that city to do business for themselves. They are worthy young men and deserve to prosper. Paper Mill Man. A paper milt man Is in the Valley looking for a location. lie has inspected Salem and will probably come to Albany to ascertain wli.it Inducements can be offered. This will offer a big field for our new Board of Tradj to be organized to-night to distinguish Itself. I'or the Minks. S II Althouse, J J Davis and II Kenton, of this city are on their way to the Calipooia mines, witli ex pectations of seeing some ore that will make their eyes sparkle. Mr D.ivis particularly is a good prospector, having done valiant service in hunting for the Blue Bucket mines. A Concert, On next Monday evening a sacred concert will be given at the Pres. byterian Church which promises to be of a very entertaining nature. Fun To-night. A good time is antlcl pated to-night at the opening ball and sup per at Mrs Murry's new hotel and board ing house. A large number wl'.l attend. ALMOST IN THK HUIIUKUS. A Visit to Dr. Jluston's Farm. A representative of the Democrat is in debted to Dr Maston for a ride to his "Wav crly Kruit Farm," almost in the Eaotern suburbs of the city, at least so near that it may fairly be called a suburban place. The Doctor has just had 137 acres of the 400 owned by him, recently purchased of Mrs McConncll surveyed and cut up into four to eight acre lots, so arranged that each lot faces a public road passing through the farm, the lay of each of which Is peculiarly fortunate, giving little opportunity for choice. The whole is finely Irregated by a small creek passing through it, and is a fine piece of land. "Well, Doctor," said the D. M. to the M. D. "you've hit the nail on the head. This is just what people want, Albany people, Linn county people, and everybody." "Yes," i,e said, "and that Is the reason I bought it. A large class of people need small tracts of land for fruit and gardening and hoincs,aad nothing more suitable could be obtained than this tract for the purpose, and then consider the small price, only $100 an acre. No Los Angeles rates." The Doctor informed us that he had ob tained plats of the property which had been placed in the hands of the real estate men of the city with instructions to sell the lots. He also Informed us that he had al ready disposed of two lots of five acres each to our enterprising electric light man, Mr. Allen, who is peculiarly alive to bargains of this nature. n returning to Albanvthe D M hunted up Mr Allen, who immediately plead guilty and said it was just a matter of business ; he had a mountain of faith in Albany and knew there was moaey in such speculations, and Mr Allen is not a man who "monkeys" with such things without knowing what he is about. As a means of investing there has rarely been offered such an opportunity here and we predict a lively market. Call on the Doctor or the real estate men and investi gate the matter. The Democrat Is not a sensational paper.and only gives these facts for the benefit of the public. Concert.
