LOCAL RKCORD. A IIokkiiii.k C'RI.mk, A gentleman jiiBt from Rosebing Informs us that last Saturday a well known fanner In good circumstances residing fifteen or twenty miles from Roseburg, named Bikes, was ar rested and taken to that eity on complaint of his wife. The charge km the horrible one of having committed rape on their ten year old daughter. lie protctcd his inno cence, but waived examination and was held under $3000 bonds to await the action lion of the grand jury. Examining physi cians declared that the crime charged had been committed by some one. The case caused considerable feeling in the neigh borhood where committed. Not Goon IVn.iuY, Several hundred dollars, perhaps thousands, leave Albany for the East every month, for goods that ran be bought of our home merchants. This is a free country j but this kind of business makes us mad all the same. Our most respected motto should be : Support home institutions. Recently an Astoria woman thought she was not getting big enough loaves of bread for five cents, and she said to the baker : "You make your loaves too small. I can get a bigger loaf for five cents in Portland than I can from you, and am going to make arrangements to have three live cent loaves sent to me every week from Portland." And she did This may be too deep or too shallow, but k is a fact all the same, incredible as it may seem." If this is not true then Ilalloran Is the fabricator. A Chinaman Mao. Yesterday after noon Hong Mad, for short, a Lebanon ' Chinaman, was in the city after a warrant for the arrest of Charley Miller, but failed to get it, because he was not entitled to one Sabbath afternoon the Celestial was going along the street when young Donaca sprinkled some water on him. The China man got mad and going back Donaca jok ingly told him Mlllerdid it. TheCelcstial started for him then, and in the course of the affair was hit with a slick, but his arm was not broken, and he was very little In jured. Friendlkss. A gentleman from Scio informs us that young Eads, who was drowned near that place Sunday, was prob ably not In bathing. He was found with his clothes on, and it was thought he fell into the creek. His body was buried yes terday afternoon. The boy had only been around Scio a short time, and was a perfect stranger.having no relatives or even friends there. As the drowning was only witness ed by two little children too young to ex plain matters the manner of Its happening is somewhat of a mystery. Earkwki.l sermon. Rev. Romingcr on last Sabbath evening preached his fare well sermon in this city. After a vacation of several weeks he wilt begin his duties as pastor of the Congregational Church at East Portland. Kev. Romingcr is one of the most logical preachers in the State and will do honor to any pulpit he may fill. No arrangements have as yet been made for his successor. A Bio Prick. Mr. Prank Conover, of the Gazette, of Corvallls, is In the city on his way home from Southern Oregon. He informed us that on Saturday ''at Ashland a ten acre peach orchard was sold to a gen tleman who had just gone from this coun ty, for $io,cdo, n regular Los Angeles price. Prices there generally are very In flated. Anotiikr College. The Southern M. E. church, It is reported, now that the ag ricultural college has passed into the hands of the state, will guild a fine college some where In Oregon. Tangent, It is thought, will be the favored 8ot, a location which would also be a benefit to Albany. A twenty five or thirty thousand dollar build ing will be erected in case the matter is pushed. Married On Tuesday, July 23rd, 18S8, at the residence of and by Rev S G Irvinei I). D Mr W D Smilh.of ftnlsev, and Miss Oora Baldwin, of Oakvlllc. The Demo ' Rat wishes this estimable young couple long life and many joys. Overturned. Last evening, while coming from Scio, and near Jefferson, the team of Mr. Press Munkora became n little excited and overturned the wagon, throwing Mr. and Mrs. M linkers out, In juring the latter quite seriously; but for tunately no bones were broken. Married. On Sunday, July 33, 18SS, at the residence of Daniel Houck, near Tangent, bv Rev. II. M. Waller, Mr. Omar Vernon and Miss Eva Archibald. The Democrat wishes the happy couple n prosperous life. Chook County. Collins Elkins arrived here from Albany on Priday of last wcek and has spent the week in town visiting his brother Charlie. Collins graduated at Al bany College at the close of the last school year, and Is now resting after a number of years of hard study. I le expects to spend the summer on this side of the mountains. . . .This week C.B. Baker showed us speci mens of rock taken from two quartz ledges recently discovered on Crooked river.about 20 miles from Prinevllle. Mr. ilaker has had assays made on rock from both ledges, one of which gives areturnof $34.50 silcr and $4 gold, and the other $34.50 silver witli a trace of gold. . . .Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Duncan started on Tuesday for Albany. They were accommpanied by Miss Ollie iraves, the very efficient deputy postniis tress who has attended the delivery win dow of the postoftice here the past. year. Miss Graves' goes to her home at Newport, and we regret to say, does not contemplate returning to rrlneville. . .. ihere seems to he little or nothing doing on the line of the Oregon Pacific this side of Albany except locating the line by the engineers. The proposed construction of the road that was talked about so much by the Albany papers a few weeks ago is not going ahead as we would like to sec it.... David rrine and Dan Powell started Monday with 48 head of horses, intending to drive them to Hunt ington and ship from there to Kansas City, Mo., which place is Mr. Prine's old home, though he has not visited it since he cross ed the plains during the 5o's....We learn that Knox Huston has bought a band ot sheep, hence he no longer desires to sell his ranch on Trout creek. He proposes to remain In Crook county till Abraham shall call him to his bosom. licvicw. Wool. Coates Brothers, the' reliable wool commission merchants of Philadel phia, in their circular just received in Al bany, say : "Ther have been but slight changes in eastern markets. As supplies come forward values become more settled and more firmly established. The demand for most grades is fair, but manufacturers buy only for actual wants and arc very conservative. The worsted spinners are especially cautious, and are not willing to pay more for combing than for clothing. But little worsted machinery is now run ning, and that at no profit. In some parts of the west buyers are paying higher prices than are warranted by present eastern val ues, showing thereby that they have suf ficient commence in the tuture to secure light and desirable wools at what, under other circumstatces, would seem to De a low intrinsic value. In other sections buy crs have largely withdrawn and wool can be bought at tower figures. Many grow ers however decline to sell at present, and some will undoubtedly hold oyer the sea son." They quote Ohio wools at 28 to 33 cents; Colorado, 14 to 23 cents; Texas, sprlngclip, ii to 24 cents: Montana, tin washed, 14 to 22 cents. In Albany the mantel price is about in; cents. Perhaps a Rich Strike. A shor. time since, the stockholders of the Capital mining company, of this city, sent pro spectors up to their mine in the Santiam district above Mehama, to do a little work, and it seems they have struck it rich. In doing same blasting a short distance from the old tunnel, they opened up a vein of quartz which is reported to be very rich, and which it is supposed is the main lead. One of these men started for Mehama to communicate with President J. G. Wright, hut was too much excited when he reached Mehama, and Instead of writing to the company regarding the strike, he told everybody about Mehama of it, and the company's officers only heard of it through various rumors floating about, and after a large number of people had started into the district President Wright started for the mines this afternoon, and something defin ite about the richness and extent of the strike will be known in a few days. Journal. Not Shrewd. A story is told of a post, master whose lack of knowledge of work ing his own "nest" lost him an increase of $100 on his salary next year. When he sent his returns in he lacked 31 cents of the amount ca1 led for by the law to permit an adjustment of his salary. His report show ed the yearly receipts ot his office to be $2,099.20. As the department allows a fraction over a half dollar to be counted as a dollar, the postmaster would have been $100 more in pocket if he had had shrewd ness enough to buy 3t cents worth sf stamps out of his own pocket Since he sent his report he has learned his mistake, and anybody In the county now can kick him. He wn the only case of the kind in the 2,500. It caused much merriment among the clerks at the Postoftice Depart ment. By all Means. "Ought young girls to read the dally newspapers," is the title of a brochure read by Dr. W. T. Harris, of Concord, Mass., at the teachers national convention In San Francisco. Why cer tainly if the old man pays for the paper But no crirl. old or young, should read the daily paper unless she believes that the licna ot me nouse wnacKs up ms muc um fifteen cents a week. This may not be the stand point from which Doc. Harris treated the subject, but so much in this world de pends upon the point of view. Ex. Most Advertise. Most of the Albany merchants are good advertisers. Any mer chant who advertises, has goods to sell and sells them cheap. That is the reason why he advertises. A merchant who has only shelf worn goods and charges two prices tor tnem never auvcruscs. Weather Indications. For the 24 hours beginning at 12 o'clock, noen. Warmer, clear weather. Doc SilACKI.i'.i-OKD.- The first named gentleman mentioned in the following item from a Salem paper is well-known in Albany, and will be remembered as having had a runaway between Albany and Cor vallls several weeks ago when he lost $8o(?) which was never found : "Doc Shackleford's head seems to be a sort of football, figuratively speaking, for every fellow pugilistically inclined. He and his wife went up to Independence for a Sun day ride, remaining over night, and during their stay the 'doctor' imagined that one Charley I larpool, a young man of Inde pendence, insulted his wife. Yesterday morning Mrs. Shackle-ford came home in ii buggy, her husband intending to follow with his horse and cart, but about eleven o'clock 1 larpool met him and taxed him with having circulated tile charj-e of in sulting Mrs, S., which Harpoul denied having done. Hot words fol owed, the full import of which the reporter was unable to gather, but warlike demonstrations were soon inaugurated, and Harpool pulled a revolver, with which he struck .Shackleford over the head, cracking his skull and felling him to the ground. 1 ne wounded man, be ing unable to help himself, was brought to Salem by one of the liyerymen, and he is now at Kir. Wright's in South Salem nurs ing his wrath and the veiy bad wound it caused. Harpool skipped out." Tiieves os the Santiam. This is rather old, but it is a Linn county item and has gotten here after a trip to Salem : "A fine horse was stolen Sunday night, July 5, fram Alexander Montgomery, about three and a half miles from Stayton, across the Santiam In Linn county. Mr. Mont, gomery was off in the mountains at the time, the family being at home, and the thief evidently thought it a good time to work. The animal was a splendid three-year-aid filly, and being a little liable to jump lences, was nui uiiuwcu 10 run on me range, but was kept in the pasture and placed in the stable at night. On the night in question, the usual precautions were taken and the stable door tied. In the morning the mare and her halter was gone and nothing has been heard of her or the thief since. Ahoitt the same time another thieving operation was worked at Sam King s, about a mile and a half from Montgomery's. King's smoke house was broken into and all nis nams, to the num ber of about ten, were stolen. The bacon was not toublcd." Another W. T. Fi re. Yesterday Ros- lyn, W. T.,was visited by a large firc.worse than those of Palouse City and Ellensburg, and, without a fire department, was com pletcly burned to the ground, eighty-four huildinrrs were burned and nronertv dis- troyed to thevalueof over$2C3,oo. Noth ing is left in the city but the Coal Com pany's office, the depot and a fe w houses in the outskirts. Comparatively a small amount of insurance was carried. The Al bany Farmers' and Merchants' Insurance company had $1750 placed in the city and loses the whole amount. It was divided into two policies of $1000 and $750 and was placed on general merchandise. Kos lyn is about twenty-eight miles from Ellens burgh, and is a mining town of about 1500 population. Like most of such cities it had nothing to protect it against fire and went down, A Falsehood. A writer in the tratcd Pacific Slates says California is the only state on the coast that can raise prunes. This is a bare-faced falsehood. No country in the world is better adapted to prune culture than the Willamette valley. Our prunes compare with those raised any where. All through the valley prune or chards are growing into prominence. Prunes are our pets, we dote on our facili ties for raising them, and then to have a prominent journat fike the one mentioned belittle us in this respect, if only in a nega tive way, irritates us considerably and more too. Some day this will be the big gest prune country in the world, or we guess incorrectly. Early Advice. It is a month yet be fore the circus comes to Albary, but right here we would like to advise some of our friends, like Mr. Hale, when it does get here to have their change ready, not to buy chances In wheels of fortune, thimbles or contrivances of any kind. When you awaken on the morning of the 28th start aut with the resolution that you will not try to beat any man at nis own game, for ii you have any sense, you will know that you can t do it. Death of Rev. Wolfe Rev. J. T Wolfe, the well known M. E. minister, of Corvallls, died lasteyenlng after an illness of several weeks. Rev. Wolfe was at one time stationed at SheJd, and was highly re spected by all who knew him. He was a man of considerable ability, popular in the pulpit and noted for his pure Christian conduct.
