McKinney, living about six miles above Lebanon in Waterloo precinct, was accidentally killed yesterday afternoon in the following man ner, lie was engaged in hauling straw into a shed on his farm and while at the shed unloading his team became frightened and started to run, Mr. McKinney was stand ing on the back part of the load, and in at tempting to get hold of the lines he was thrown off in front of the wagon, under the horses heels, the wagon passing! over his head and shoulders. Dr. Foley was sent for but Mr. McKinney died before he arrived. His face and head were badly mashed. Mr McKinney was a highly respected citizen and the bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire commuuity. lie was about fifty years of age. The Scio Branch. The Democrat mentioned the beginning of work on the Scio switch on the 7th instant. Work had proceeded two days when on Thursday evening, a cold wave swept over the matter by Receiver Scott informing the citizens of Scio, that a part of the bargain was for Mr. Goins to take the West Scio warehouse, which of course he would not do. Work was immediately stopped. An indignation meeting was held and Scott was hung in efligy. Parties from there say the matter caused intense excitement, and the feeling against Scott and the one horse road are very bitter. A Friend ok the Press. For a great many years Mr. William Peacock, residing across the river,ha6 remembered the Demo crat with his first watermelon. To-day Mr Peacock appeared with a fine sixteen pounder, a remarkably large one for the first one. It was raised from this years seeds. He also laid on our table a couple of bunches of grapes, raised by himself, as large, fine, and luscious as any brought here from California or Southern Oregon. In this Mr Peacock is first by considerable, lie has our thanks and well wishes for the continued prosperity he so richly deserves. Bay Items Yesterday Mr. Williams, the canncryman, set a net opposite the Ya qulna house In the Bay, and when he took it up Instead of rinding salmon, secured twelve sharks, a prodigious haul, valuable only for iu novelty. Next week the run Is looked for. This morning four salmon, weighing about fifty pounds a piece, were brought in from Alsea and shipped to Portland. To-morrow the steamer Will, amette Valley is expected in with a large load of steel rails for the Oregon Pacific extension. Sometimes Useful The propensity for doing something that they had't ought to do, is great in beys all over the world, and Astoria boys are no exception to the rule, but occasionally In their monkeying with matters that do not concern them selves they unwittingly do a good deed. Yesterday about forty of them were play ing on an old barge that was leaking a little. They found a crude pump on board and went to pumping. They became so inter esting in the operation that they did not cease until the last drop was taken out of the hold and the barge floated light as a feather, much to the satisfaction of the owner who was saved several hours hard labor. Pioneer. Over a Dog A report comes that last Monday ex-County Judge Woodruff, of Euchre Creek, in Curry, shot and killed Wm. Cox, better known hereabouts as "Red Bill" Cox. The trouble Is said to have orig inated over a dog and Is of long standing Cox who lives near Woodruff called at the .ncr s nousc ana, rinding onlv Mrs. W home, remarked that he would 'return the next day. Finding Woodruff at home the following morning he said they could "set tie the matter with knives, pistols, or any thing else," whereupon both men started away from the house together and armed with revolvers. Woodruff returned alone wying he had "fixed him." Bandon Ret rrf. Lebanon. Negotiations are under way w'th a California manufacturer for the construction of the Lebanon ditch, and It is probable that It will be put through. 8hould the project succeed we have the as urance that the water power will be fully used for manufacturing purposes. Express. e understand that a paper mill may be erected in case the ditch is built. Married. Rev. J. L. Parrish, of Salem one of the early pioneers of Oregon was married last Monday to Mrs. Mattle A. Scarce, of Forest Grove. He is 83 years of gc. ' A ctr load of fruit has been shipped from Salem to Chioago. TIIK WOOI.K HILLS. Editors Democrat : Referring to your article regarding the woolen mills enterprise in your issue of the 7U1 Inst we wish to state so" far as this com pany is concerned there is not a word of truth ahout. As regards what Mr. Kay may have proposed to your citizen we know nothing. It was proposed 011 Ids own responsibility. Mr. Kay is not manag er of 1 his company " but Superintendent of the mills. This company docs not contem plate moving Its plant anywhere ; nor does it own the water power at Waterloo. Wliutcvcr action this company may here after take will not be taken on account of deficiency in water power as we now have a better and by far a cheaper power than Albany can give any enterprise. Respect fully, Brownsville Woolen Mills Co., O. P. Cosiiow, Scc'y. In reference to the above, the Democrat did not say there was a proposition from the Company, nor involve the Company. On that point it quoted from an article in the Oregomatt. The proposition was from Mr. Kay. It was some other paper that libeled Brownsville's fine water power. Just where the report came from in refer ence to the mills closing down the first of Mic year we do not know. We are glad to know that is not the case. Albany docs not wish to take the mill away from Brownsville ; but It wants one of its own, witli double the capacity. The Press Association. The Oregon Press Association met in Salem yesterday ; but for various reasons the Democrat was unable to be present, one of which was our neglect to borrow brother Guild's overalls. The regular business meeting was held in the afternoon. There were twenty news paper men present. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year : Presi dent; J R N Bell ; 1st Vice President, M L Pipes ; 2nd Vice President, RJ Ilendricl.s. 3rd Vice President, 8 S Tran ; 4th Vice President, W W Baker ; 5th Vice Presl dent, J P Wager ; Secretary, Chas Nick, ell ; Treasurer, S S Train ; Scrgeant-at Arms, J R N Bell. It was voted to pub lish the proceedings in pamphlet form. Mrs W S Wallace during the meeting read an article on the power of the press over the young on the subject of temperance, appealing to the press to do something. In the evening Governor Pennoyer deliv ered a finely worded address of welcome, as did also Mayor Murphy for Salem, which were happily responded to by President Pipes. Mayor Delashnmutt, of Portland, delivered the annual address, a brilliant ef fort. Prof J B Horner's poem was a bright affair. Altogether the meeting was a suc cess, ine next meeting will be held at Newport In August, 1889. The Association closed this forenoon with a very live meeting, in which at least our friend of the Vidette is said to have gotten considerably worked up. Several resoultions were passed and much good naturcd talk indulged in. A committee was appointed to present a bill to the next leglslatuie providing for the publication of County Court proceedings at the expense of the county. The Association adjourned in time for the noon train'. Getting Notorious. It never rains but it pours. Here is another item ahout Dr. Shackelford, of Salem, who is welt known in this city. It is from the Vidette : "Dr. Shackelford run up against Holt Ed mondson, a day or two ago and tried to blow the latter in for the drinks on a dice shake. The Dr. lost and then said he had no money to pay, fifty cents. 'Holt bet $50 that the Dr. had money and the Dr. put up a $50 horse. Holt then produced the man who paid the Dr. fifty cents and the Dr. was forced to produce. Mr. Edmondson took the horse and the fifty dollars. That was a fair game." P. S. Here is still another one : "Dr. Shackelford was taken in by William Chambers this afternoon and turned over to the Sheriff. A charge of horse stealing was preferred against him and his trial will come up to-morrow, Saturday morning." Rainfall. The rainfall of Eastern Ore gon is about one-half that of interior Val leys. Along the coast from 62 to 78 inches fall annual'y. In the Willamette Valley from 41 to 56 inches full annually. In the Umpqua Valley 35 Inches fall annually. In the Rogue River Valley, Klamath and Lake counties, and on the Plateau east of the Cascade range of mountains, known as Eastern Oregon, from 13 to 35 inches fall annually. The rainfall in Oregon, as well as in California and Washington Terri tory, increases from south to north. Rain fall's 100 days at Ashland to 166 days at Portland In a year. The average for the state would be about 1 25 days. Quiet Times. Matters are rather quiet around the Court House now. The foot racers who trained dally on the public square In front of the Court House have gone, the boys who aped them no longer appearand Superintendent Curl has learn ed to ride his bicycle, so that little happens these summer days to edify our county officials during a relaxation from business. First Street, though, Is having its share of little side shows,and right here we will say thev would be given very little notoriety by the' press of Albany, If some one did'nt al ways rush for the police court for a war rant every time some one snaps their finger. Yesterday evening Mr. L. C. Stratton, of Miller s station, was attending to soma Dew, with a netting over hia bead, when b. be earn, hatted nod fainted away. He waa taken into his bouse, and Dr. J. P. Wallace, of this eity, was aent for and attended mm. It wh of the nature of sunstroke, from th. effects of which ha hat now about recovered. MOMi: AND AIIIIDAll.

Roseburg Re view. The following it from the Indian Citizen, edited and published by the Indian boys anil eirlt atChemawa: "Mitt Anna Oodley, of Halsey, Oregon, has taken Mits Willis' place it matio teacher. We have known Mitt Uodley only a short time, but the haa taught music for three yeor and comet to us highly reoommeaded by the leading men of OregoD. "Why don't you run a newspaper like thai?" a grocery man said to a reporter the other day, throwing out a Chicago daily. "For the same rotten you don't run a groc ery etore like tlat," the teporter replied, turning to an advertisement of a Chicago houto, showing a twelve ttory building. The groceryman looked attentively at the picture a moment and said: "I never looked at it in that way before." Ex. The Comlnc of a Welcome Show. Our columns, to day, announce the speedy coming of Sells Brothers' Enor mous United Shows, Three Ring Circus, Elevated Stage, Royal Roman Hippo drome and Five Continent Menagerie. While the title Is, perhaps, an exhausive one, It comprehends nothing that the Sell Brothers do not offer for the delectation of the public. The hippodrome is mentioned by the press abroad as presenting realistic and vividly exciting scenes of Rome's pal my days, and the cirens offers a coterie of the best and most distinguished equestrian and gvtnnic performers In the profession. The elevated stage Is devoted to such special features as could not otherwise be produced, and the menagerie contains an unlimited variety of the strange and cur lous in animated nature. The show will be In Albany, Monday, Aug. 27. Hotel Arrivals Reverb House.

It wusobtaincdjusl north' of this town. Not very heavily. Several yields of 100 bushels ore reported to us. the steam engine on trial at Mr. Ham mer's failed to ao what the agent claimed for It. He claimed that it would climb these hills! I)U any Oregon man ever tee them? Most of the farming is dune on the tcps of these ridges; and he claimed that it would go up and draw the separater after it. It could not get up on its elhows. It pawed the ground until it buried its ham bones out of sight. It reared up in front, gave two or three pathetic snorts and was allowed to try it alone. A horse power fs at work to-day. This is givtn at such a length as a pointer to others living in hill countries. The general average of wheat to the acre, so far as heard from, is over 40 bush els. Stock pigs seem to be in demand all about here, and it is believed that the pro duction of meat is to be the great future industry of this section. The 7 O'clock freiiht. nn Tnpsiliiv vpn.

A man wiped his eves with the back of a glove with which he" had handled burnt lubricating oil. He is lying off. If any one asks why let hiuj try it. THK1MAN A BOLT TOWN'. A week cut out for harvesting. "Betting cn elections indicates the better's feelings more than the size of the cantli dates' chances. Men get worked up and bet and then kick themselves for doing it. Often if they wait a day to put up the stakes the dreams of a night cool them off and they repent. So far as the M. A. T. is concerned he doesn't want to earn money fiat way. One of the greatest gambling propensities of the present age is betting. A man was in the city Friday with a one horse wheel of fortune. Ten cents a turn was the price, with a chance in some one cent cigars, cheap handkerchiefs, a clock and an album that was evidently in the ark. A cake of soap was thrown in. It was the cheapest looking affair we ever diet ' see ; but we'll be sure to have something -better when the circus gets here. Exaggeration seems to be the rule, not only with newspapersbut Individuals. Few people tell a fact but what they add several pickets to the fence. It was so with the Brownsville woolen mill matter, has been the case with Oregon Pacific matters, and will probably always be the case. Fine Suitings. One of the finest lot of suitings ever brought to Albany has just been received by L. E. Blain, for his tailor ing department under charge of W. R. Graham.
