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

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.

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.
