TuitNBii Ovbr. On Mondny John A.
Crawford u briaging a load of hay into
town, when his toam became frightened and
started to run away, and in turning the cor
ner Lear W. F. I'ead'a the wagon with its
load of hay turned over. As the load was
turniog Mr. Crawford gavo his Hues a turn
aound the polo used in holding cho hay
steady. When the load fell it stopped the
horses. The scare was occasitnrd by one of
tha horses getting its- foot outside the tug.
In attempting to adjust the harness Mr.
Crawford received a heavy, ngly bruiso on
the left eye, cheek and te'nple. lie looks
like a regular J. L, S. .
A Bio Harvest. An abundant harvest
Is now being reaped. Work is about to be
resumed on the O.P.R. R., much Improve
ment is going on in the city, all of which is
sure to make business lively in Albany
this fall. l' L. Kenton has taken all these
facts into consideration and will be fully
prepared for a good share of the fall trai!c.
lie keeps a good stock of groceries, etc.,
and by selling only for cash is enabled to
sell at the lowest prices.
IIunti.vo Mr. W. W. Crawford who
was in the city looking after a stray animal
says the hunt took him around the county
considerably, and he was able to sec what
farmers are doing. The yield is proving
generally good. Mr. Crawfard's fall wheat
which was nearly frozen out, and was
given up at one time, yielded 26 bushels to
the acre ; Mr Ab Humphrey's panned out
28 bushels to the acre, and Geo Cochrane's
32 bushels.
Tub Skiff Mystery. A gentleman
from Union county tells us that while he
believes that Willis Skiff was murdered or
Is dead, he does not believe the remains re
cently found on the Lower Powder river
were those of Skiff. The report that a
dentist recognized them by a tooth he filled
for Skiff some years ago is groundless. So
the mystery is growing thicker. Vidctte.
Shall Wi Get It. Albany has been
wanting a woolen mill for a long time and
wants one now. The question is whether
we want one badly enough to expend $15,
000 for It. Should we get one here with
Mr. Kay at its head we know it would be a
success. Mr. Kay knows the field ther
oughly, so that the mill would start in from
the first with a reputation. This Is a case
that demands prompt and liberal action.
Bound fr Hump. Davidson Bros., the
tight rope performers passed through the
city to-day on their way to San Francisco
after quite a successful tout; through the
Northwest. The oldest one Is anxious to
run across Krazicr.tlie Salemlte with whom
he had a fight, and says there will be a
scrapping match. All the same, he said
they took in $76 In Salem, which was
pretty good.
Married. At Scio, on Sunday Aug. 5,
i8S8, Mr. D. M. Wheeler, son of LM.
Wheeler and Miss Lucy Miller, daughter
of I. B. Miller, both of Lebanon precinct.
We understand the parents of the bride
and groom were not invited to the wed
ding until after its occurrence.
A Common Accident. This morning
while working on the Foshay & Mason
block R, B. Vunk foil with a scaffolding,
resulting In his having one of his arms
peeled and an ear slittcd. After a dose of
bandages, court plaster and llniament he
went to work agala, though he swung his
left hand around in a very gentle manner.
Active Operations. jjoo Chlnumcn
nd 1 large number of white men have al
' leady been engaged to work on the Ore
gon Pacific, and it is thought by Brink Si
West that they will be able to begin active
operations the first of next week.

finder for trouble.
A Good Yield. F. M. Miller, near Mil
ler's Station, threshed 1246 bushels of
wheat from 40 acres, being over 31 bushels
to the acre.
A liKi,n;in'i h occasion.
Wliou the overlnuil train arrived this
illuming a 9 o'clock with its load of Now
Knglcnd teachers, it was met bya largo con.
com so of citizens and a spread of fruit, dow
ers, etc, that oouforrcd great credit tin our
people. Under tho supcrvirion of our Bosrd
of Tiado, aniptcd by Prof. Ileid, Supt. Mo
MuElroy aud othors, a tablohad bees spread
with applos, plums, pears, blackberries, etc.,
iu profusion, brought from our own gardens,
plump iruiii contact with our unsurpassed
climate aud a soil full of fertility. Tho one
hundred ti -.ehers were delighted with tho
eight an, I wore man loa.led down with tho
precious things. Besides Urge baskets of
fruit, small package of plums, prunes, ap
ples, etc., aud of v heat had boen proparcd
and wero given to the wondering school
inn'uim. Our eitizjus and teachers were
soon intermixed aud it seemed as if old
friends had met; but it was ouly fur fifteen
minutes. Toe bright, happy, joyous picture
vanishoil, tho conductor said "all aboard''
several limos aud tho train started. Ons
plump little woman, loaded down with par
cels had not gotten on, and as a result, the
train had to stop, muoh to tha enjoyment of
the crowd and yet solicitude for tho school
ma'am. We'll wager thoy took away with
them some kind remembrances of Albany
tnutthey will tell their friends about away
back iu New Hampshire and Massachusetts;
but then few come from there here anyway.
The te thers were umlur the supervision of
two tino looking men, Rev. W. N. Ackley
and A. C. Stockin, and were an intelligent,
happy appoarog crowd, On many of them,
age had shown her work aud the old
maids prevailed. The party weut direct to
1'ortlaoil; thence they will go to the Sound,
and to their home in the E-st, after stopping
at the Ye'lowstone Park. Such occasions a-j
this are delightful affairs, and thouqh we
never most .he people again, the experience
makes us realize more what a big world tb'"
is, aud haw full it is of little streams that
keep washing us against each other. We
are glad tho national convention was held on
tho coast, and petition for as many more of
all kirds as possible. In all cases Oregon is
bound hereafter to obtain recognition.
Breatiiino. Dr. John ,L. Davis, of

It will not pay our oitizens to hold their
property at a price that will keep out pur
chasers. Some one who has been at Seattle
considerably says property can be pnrchased
around that oity as cheaply as near Albany ;
yet, we suspect there is some difference yet.
For faotories, or business places, that will
benefit the oity, our oitizens should see that
a small prioe be charged. Albany needs
more young men with push and we mnst try
to get them.
From an analysis of over 6,000 oases of
scarlet fever, it appears that liability to the
disease ia very slight during early infancy,
reaches a maximum in the fsnrth or fifth
faar, and diminishes every year afterward.
The severity ia greatest in the first two
years, lesssni'ng year by year throughout tha
childhood and adolescence. Females are
more liable to attack alter infancy tha
males, but attacks among males are more
fatal.

is mainly a question of wages, it was rather

South had such cheap labor. "Cheaper in
fact than slave labor." But how does it
