LOCAL -RECORD.
A Strange I'ruceeiiino. This morn
ing as Mr. E. T. T. Fisher, who lives at
' Miller's, was coming to this city lie saw
two women sitting by the side of the rail
road track near the residence of IX M.
Cooper. One of them appeared to be a
young lady, while the other was one of
mature years. The young lady was dressed
In black and heavily veiled with a dark
veil. She was holding a bundle which
seemed to be resting on a pillow. Such cir
cumstances always arouse the curiosity of J
the newspaper reporter. So the reporter
of the Democrat began to put this and
that link together so as to form a chain
that would reach Into the secret of the mys
terious circumstance. It was a small clue
but Industry, perseverance and tact will
tell. Later on Mr. Cooper came to town
and from him we learned that the two
women whom Mr. Fisher had seen, were
his wife and an unknown young lady
dressed in black. The young lady had
been brought to Mr. Cooper's about 3 o'clock
last night in a bugy by a young man who
asked Mr. Cooper to let the young lady
stay till morning. This being granted the
young man went away. The bundle
proved to be a young babe, which the young
woman said was about two weeks old. She
fed it from a' bottle. This young woman
'was very much disturbed mentally. This
morning she asked Mr. Cooper to accom
pany her to Miller's, the next station,
wherche said, she wanted to take the
next train for Salem. Mr. Cooper started
with her on foot to Miller's, but they were
soon overtaken by a wagon whose driver
said he would take the ladv to Miller's.
We finally worked up several c'ues to un
solve the mystery, ne of which was that
the party hau called at nr. iMaston 8 last
night about one or two o'clock. The doctor,
when first ca'lcd upon, was not disposed to
be interviewed, but when being informed
that the reporter had already secured most
of the facts to unravel the mystery he
frankly stated that the young man and
woman had called at ly.s office about two
o'clock and asked if there were any Cath
olics in town. The doctor answered in the
affirmative and told them lioff to find the
Sisters' school, but they said thev had been
iiiwi c miiu LUI1IU iiniUM; uu unc. i lit uuviui
observing that the lady had a bundle
asked what it was and was told that it was
a baby, and at this point the doctor recog-
nized theyounglady as one who had called
at his office some weeks ago. She frankly
told the doctor that the baby was the Illeg
itimate child ot her sister and that she
wanted to leave it with him to turn over to
the Sisters this morning. The doctor re
fused to do this but told her she could re-,
main at his place until morning and then
give it to the Sisters herself. She was un
willing to remain until morning, and then
inquired the way and distance to Miller's,
where she said she wauld gn and take the
next train to Salem where she would give
the child to the Catholics. The doctor ad
vised her to take the child home and let her
sister raise it, but this she utterly refused to
do. 8he tsld the doctor the child was born
Thursday night. The docter positively
declines, to give the name of the young
ladv, wlio, he says. Is highly rcspcctaple
and deserves the sympathy of every kind
heart on account of the ureal misfortune
that has befallen the family.
A Caution. The way mowers, binders,
wagons and agricultural implements, gen
era. ly went out of Stewart & Sox's yester
day was a caution. It was the biggest
day's business In their history and perhaps
ever in Albany. We would give the figures;
but our renders might say they were
stretched, and wc will allow them to use
their imaginations.
A Grand Smut.' We neglected to
mention yesterday that one of the grandest
sights of the Corvallis celebration was Mr.
Al. Churchill, the driiih major of the Eu
gene Band. With his monumental hat he
towered far above everything, the small,
one story shanties on First Street sinking
into utter insignificance when Al. passed
along in the parade.
New Dray. Mr. J. A, McKcron has
just started a dray on his awn account,
having purchased a first-class truck. Mr,
Mr. McFcron Is equal to two men himself,
is an accommodating, reliable gcntlcinnn
and deserves h good business.
A Ci.i n House. An Albany gentleman
suggests that Albany Is sufficiently metrop
olitan to have a club house, where men
can meet evenings, and perhaps an effort
will be made to organize one.
Signal Service. Hereafter the flags
on the signal service pole at French's cor
ner will be changed promptly at 1 1 o'clock
A. M., and will indicate the weather from
12 o clock, high noon.

Thinking. The time of thinking has
been estimated, with some interesting re
sults : Uptakes about one-tenth second to
see a color, onc-scventh second to see a
word. It takes longer to see some letters
and words than others. A word can be
named in one-ninth second, whereas one
third second is needed to name a color. It
takes about two-fifths second to call to
mind the county in which a well-known
town Is situated ; one-half second to say
which of two eminent men is thought to
be the greater. Those used to reckoning
can add two to three in less time than
others ; those familiar with literature can
remember more quickly than others that
Shakespeare wrote "I lomlet." But it takes
some subscribers to the newspaper months
and years to remember that they owe any
thing, and then they miss it a year or two.
Condemned Generally. It Is not
often that a Corvallis paper stands up for
Albany In anything, but in the matter of
the Portland tournament the case was too
p'ain. The Times says: "The Portland
firemen acted very disreputably In offer
ing prizes at their tournament and after
they had been fatrlv won and the judges
had given their decisions, to unsurp the
authority of distributing the prizes among
whom thev saw fit. According to the
judges and justice the Albany team won
the majority of the contests, but these
honorable!?,) old volunteers have seen ht
to award the boys but one prize.
Eclipse. To-morrow there will be
partial eclipse of the sum, visible in the In
diaii ocean. On Sunday, July 22nd there
will be a total eclipse of the moon, visible
in North 11ml South America. It- will be
gin at 6:56 p. m., on this const and con.
tlnuc till 12:34 In the morning of the 23rd.
This will be the second total eclipse of the
moon this year, the last having occurred
on January 28th at about noon, but wns
obscured by clouds here.
