'I'll following is from the Salem Vitlette, in reference to the Rock Creek affair, and, if true, as there is some reason to believe it may be, presents a startling picture for a Christian country ; "Reports are to the effect that the wounded man, Thomas, is in a critical condition and is liable te die. He is at his bachelor's quarters with no one to care for him but his brother. No neighbors visit' him. No tender lingers dress his wounds ar soothe his fevered brow. l-'or some reason he appears to have no friends. Now would We the time for Christian influence to sert its sway." A Dank Mitt..

The fol lowing from the Salem Statesman, though written In that paper's sarcastic style, is in line on the subject : "Before the late elec tion E E McKinncy, of Turner, made a wager with Dr McCauley, of Stayton, that if the prohl vote in Marlon county was not double what It was in i8S6, he would start a brewery on his ranch and give the doc tor a half interest. Since the prolii strength through the county showed itself a quan tity of evanescent uncertainty, and instead of pulling up to high water mark, as l.d. fondly anticipated, went glimmering, the doctor has made arrangements to be re ceived Into co-partnership with McKinncy. lie was in the city yesteruay inviting friends up to Turner to diink beer when the joint is started." Brownsville, Mr C II Stewart was in Brownsville yesterduy, und says that city presents an uncommonly line appear ance now, one of thrift and prosperity. The Woolen Mills are now employing sixty hands and every month about $2503 in cash is handed out. This is probably the best paying property in Linn county, and Brownsville Is "to be congratulated on possessing it. In contemplating the bene fit of such a mill it is beyond our compre hension why capital-in Albany that is only paying eight to ten per cent is not put Into such u property that would pay many times ten percent. VVill our mouied men steep over the fact. Sound Advice. No man should de prive his wife and family of the home paper. They do not go from home and learn all the news as docs the father and husband, and the paper serves to relieve many otherwise lonely hours. It is the worst possible economy toleprive the fam lly 01 a pleasure so easily and cheaply pro cured.

Hamilton, who was reported to be defeated by llufford his republican opponent for District Attorney in the second district, is elected by 15 ma. jorlty. This was a close call and a fortun ate election, as it wouia nave Deena great misfortune to have had a man of lluttord s nexperience in such a position. Hamilton is one of the best District Attorneys in the Northwest. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, 1S74 -SS8 I .i Alma Mater Salutat. His Majority II. II. I lewitt's major ity for District Attorney is 887, divided as follows : Marion, 460 : Yamhill, 261 Polk, 127 i Tillamook, 46 j Linn, -7.

One of the finest displays of umbrellas ever seen in Albany has just been received at L. E. Blain's. There is as much style in an umbrella handle as in a woman's hat, and if you will call at Mr. lilain s and see Ins large stocK you will ap preciate the gist of this remark. Animals. The following taken from the dispatches of a Portland paper would indicate that base ball players are being classed among animals : "New York, June 1 1.

Main Street, Albany, Oregon Wanted Last night the alumni held sway at the college chapel, presenting one of the most entertaining programs in the history of their reunions. One nice feature to their programs is that they are short, making up in quality what they lack in length, some thing people appreciate these rapid tlavs. Di. Tate, president of the alumni for the pat year, presided. The exercises were opened with prayer by Dr, Irvine. Some music by Long Dros.'s orchestra was of a good quality and was greatly appreciated. They played twice during the eiening. Quinccy E. Propst, '86, pronounced an oration on "Ciyilization." It contained some good t'toughts and showed the de velopment of civilization from the earliest ages. His head was level, permitting an unclassical expression, when lie said, in the line of his remarks, that we believe we have the greatest nation on the face of the earth, and, unlike other nations, we per mit the worshipping of God according to the dictates of our own consciences, Miss Lillie Robertson, '86, followed with a finely worded essay on "Little Things." Expressive of the subject it was full of little thoughts that made a big total. Once a great writer found four little things worthy of notice; now we count tl em by the thousands. We remember Washing ton and Lincoln as presidents, and forget the little acts of their lives, how Washing ton spent his youth on his father's farm, and Lincoln in splitting rails. Every thing in nature, however large, can be re. duced to atoms ; time is founded on seconds ; and most lives are made up of as little things, yet they require character. Every action of the lady in the White House is chronicled, while those of thousands as noble women are never noticed. Little things test one's character, our conversa tions are made up of little words, and our lives should be of little acts of kindness. Miss Robertson is a sensible young lady and writes sensible things in a nice way. A vocal solo by Mrs. Cochran was heard with marked pleasure, and a vocal duet by Mrs. Chamberlain and Rev. Prichard was received with that popular fayor always ac corded their singing. Miss Hettie Miller, '79, as Ivanhoe, and Miss Mary Irvine, '84, as Rebecca, pre sented the castle scene in Ivanhoe, with fine conceptions of those characters, dis playing not only their own talent in this line, but, as well, the able drill given them by Mrs. Pollock. Their recital of this famous scene, from perhaps the greatest novel ever written, was one to bring out their best elocutionary powers, and both young ladies exdcllcd even their customary excellency in uus line. ine rendition was received witli marked attention. The exercises closed with the reading of the annals of the alumni by Mrs. Clara Wolverion, 74, as composed ay Ajrs, Hattie Templeton, '78. It was a 'bright sparkling record of the lives of the mem bers of the alumni," tersely given. There have been twenty-nine graduates from the college, onlv three ot whom, ilr. urad shaw and Miss Mary Finhtyson, of the class of '74, and Geo. I. Foster, of the class of 84, are deceased. Un account ot tn death of Mr. Foster, Mrs. Templeton was unable to be present and read the annal herself. Reunion and supper. After the ad journmcnt at the College all of the mem bers of the Alumni injte' city but Mrs. Templeton and Miss Alary Irvine, to-wit : DrJ T Tate.Prcsident ; Miss Lilly Robert son, Secretary, and Mrs W II Gaston, Mrs C H Stewart, Mrs E F Sox, Mi s Cal Burk havt, Mrs C E Wolverton.

An election for the ensuing vear was held, Jas Powell being chosen President and Miss Mary Irvine,Secretary and Treasurer. President Condit made some appropriate remarks, introducing the new members of the Alumni, to whom a welcome was ex tended by President Tate. Interesting letters were read from J J Charlton, Steven Flinn and Frank Propst, now at Prince ton, the, two former of whom will spend their vacation in Albany, and Rova Alex ander and Frank Osborne. An elegant lunch was served, when informal toasts were responded to by Director Chamber lain, Mr Wolverton and Rev Prichard. Mason frrli jars at F. L. KentoaV Six shaves or a dollar at L.
