LOCAL RECORD. Tiik Usual Nlmiikk. The usual num ber of oung men from the city and coun try yesterday thought they could beat the frauds and cut throats hanging around the circus at their own games and hence got gloriously taken in. The Walla Wa.la paper that said there were no cut throats with the circus simply lied. There were, if anything, more than usual, which in cluded several snide side shows. The me nagerie and performance are good, prob ably the best ever in Albany, and It is cer tainly to be regretted that they allow such a lot of grasping leeches around them ; but the fact that they all travel on the same special train shews that the whole thing is practically under one management. Alter all these side swindling affairs attract as much attention as anything and often have a longer remembrance in one's mind. Many men wouldn't think they had boen to a circus if they didn't have these fellows to patroni.e. YAquiNA Bay. Col. Parker, of Walla Walla, in writing home to his paper says: "This seaside resort is fast becoming the favorite among the people of the North west. There is more variety in scenery, resorts, etc., than any other watering place on the coast, and it has only to become better known to be crowded every season. As it is there are a great many yisitors here and each and all declare it is superior to Clatsop or Ilwaco. One thing I like is the utter absence of airs and frills among the people here. As the Oregon Pacific is now being pushed ahead to connect ulti mately with the Chicago & Northwestern railroad it will not be lone before the sun baked denizens of Eastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Utah will make this their summer abiding place. Cuts Exchanges. "Beans regarded as food," Is the heading In an exchange. This Is the way beans should be regarded. Any one who would regard beans as a bev erage would be way off East Portland S(ar.... The man who is convinced that advertising don't pay is generally anxious t have an extended personal notice every time he leaves town or returns. W. W.

W 'hen whis key is made free, barkeeepers will have to sell it at five cents a glass, which will be a good deal of exertion for a small profit, but it will put the kibosh on wine Vin dicator. Camimium Hats. "From a catalogue just receive from a leading Chicago hatter we learn that the facts in the case are ex actly the reverse of the Orajonian't state mentthe white band being on the Har rison hat and the black on the Cleveland. Roseburg victims, who purchased and have been wearing campaign hats in accordance with the Oregoitian't definition of which was which, are now as mad as hornets, but are not fully decided as to the proper course to pursue to restore their equaminity of mind." This is from a Roseburg paper, and shows at least that the matter is all mixed up. Notwithstanding the cata logues, the pearl hat with the black band is undoubtedly the Harrison hat. All the Eastern pictorial papers have it that way and they are good authority. Some Har rison men don't seem to like the idea of wearing mourning, and that's the trouble. This Week. The Board of Equaliza tion Is now In session at the Clerk's office If you have been assessed too much now is the time to act. The assessment roll as made out b) Assessor Smith is a neat af fair, and is presented to the Board of Equal ization earlier than for many years and without any extension of time. Not for Linn Co. Stephen Mlnard in Looking Glass threshed last week 70a bushels of oats from 10 acres which was sown the 15th of April. This is a large yield, and Mr. Mlnard has just built a large new barn on his farm in which to garner his crop. Roseburg llevirw. A Curious Fact It costs more to get freight from San Francisco to Newport than to Albany, caused by the large freight from Yaquina City back to Newport, it be ing almost as much as from San Francisco to Yaquina City.

President Condit, of the College, has just handed us a catalogue for iSSij-o. It is nicely gotten up and shows the present plans of the school in plainer language than we can state them. We have heretofore given the faculty in full. A commendable feature of future work is the complete classification of the studies to be pursued, so that students will know just how they stand In the Collegiate de partment, from which it will take the cus tomary four years ".o graduate, the years being divided Into Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. The arrangement is one that ill be very satisfactory to students. Under it they will pass from the Interme diate department to the Freshman year upon passing the necessary commence ment examination. Upon completion of either of the three courses, Classical, Latin Scientific or German Scientific, the degree of U. S. will be conferred. To students who are unable to enter either of these courses a course in English may be pursued, cer tificates of graduation being granted, and three years is necessary to complete the course. The preparatory department is in splendid hands. The price of tuition ranges from $5.50 to $ i a. 50 per term. The cata logue shows the number of graduates from the College to be thirty-one. The number of students enrolled is ninety-three. There will be three in the Senior class the com ing year, to-wit : Misses Helen A Craw ford, Flora A Mason and Ina L Robertson. The College will thus be seen to be in a good condition, it is under splendid man agement and is displaying a progress in keeping with the growing city in which it is lucaicu. Crook County Lou Hodges and wife left on Saturday of last week for the Wil lamette Valley. They will be absent two or three weeks.... The market will prob. ably open this fall with wheat at 75c. per bushel and oats and barley at 50c Ocho- co creek has gone dry in several places and Crooked river is down to low water mark. Water is liable to be in demand If it don't rain before long The building for the new brewery is assuming propor tions and will soon be completed. Mr. Benswangcr expects to have it running by the last of next month .... Same time since it was thought that there would be enough wheat raised in the county to supply the home market, but since harvest began it Is believed there will be a shortage, the grain not yielding quite as well as was expected. Some time since we advertised for a one-horse preacher and got him, but he didn't stay long. Now we would ask for a two.horse, tirst-class dispenser of the gos pel who is willing to preach 52 Sundays in me year on a salary inaae up el promises to pay when times get better.... Messrs Nutting and Roberts, of Upper Crooked river, hauled the first gristof new wheat to the Prlneville mills this year. It was breughtinovera week ago.... On Monday of this week the thermometer maiked 98 In the shade and 126 in the sunlight. On Tuesday it made a grand climb, reaching 106" in the shade, making that day the warmest of the season. Each day since then has been extremely warm, the mer cury marking 95 to 98 in the shade. Prlne ville papers. Sure Things. An old gentleman from the country was telling us to-day how he gave a twenty dollar piece for some change yesterday, and although he thought he counted the money carefully, when he looked It over again he was six dollars short. Funny. A young man from the country, rectntly married, watched ene of the games at the circus until he knew just how it was done, and then when he had a sure thing put up seventy dollars on iL Then he found out it wasn t so very sura after all. ' Suppose Suppose the Democrat was to put in some out of the way corner a two or three line local to the effect that some particular merchant charged more for his goods than anyone else he would be the maddest man in town, and yet perhaps one ef the very class who say it doesn't pay to advertise. Now the truth is, speaking ef Albany, there is no better place to buy grocertei than at Conn Bros. Their prices are low and their goods first-class. Those who do not heed this will be the ones to get mad. Held Up. Sunday night a young car. penter of this city, named Harrls,waa going home, when a man stopped hl.n on Baker Street and told him te hold up his hands or he would shoot. Harris held his hands up when the fellow reached in his pockets out touna notnmg, wnen he drew back and knocked the young man dewn and ran away. , Lebanon, Mr. Milt Miller came down from Leoanon to-day. He says they are looking for a forma! proposition from the California gentleman In reference to the ditch and a oaoer mill.

John Fojhay is reconstructing bis nicely located residence in the Second Ward. A B Woodin has been appointed Deputy Grand Master if the AOUW for Linn county. Roseburg has tlio croquet craze. Albany hasn't any kind of a craze. Crazes are good things sometimes. Several of the circus sharps are laid to havo lost about $1000 at poker in one of the Albany saloons last night. Tbera was not an arrest made during the time the circus was in the city, an uncom monly peaceable crowd being present. Some day if a few of our sidewalks are not repaired, the city will have some moie dam age cases on hand. As Josh Billings says, the time to prevent a blunder is before it is made. A game of base hall between the lawyers of Albany and the clerk?, or merchants, or doctors, or between anybody wouldn t be bad. In addition to the appointments made at the M. E.

The bringing of a 1 1 1 log raft from Nova Sootia to New York, on the second attempt nas proven successini,ana is nxeiy to reroia tionize the lumber transportation business on the sea and laae coasts. 1 be rait referred to was 592 feet long, fifty-four feet beam, thirty-tight feet deep,and drew twenty-three feet of water. It oomprises 214,000 spruce logs, valued at about foO.OOO. To transport such a mass of timber by ordinary methods would require oyer forty lumber schroaers, and would cost $30,000. The successful pas sag of this log ship from Nova Scotia ia re garded by lumbermen as a great innovation. Attention. We are now receiving daily from Southern Oregon fine yellow Crawford peaches.
