LOCAL HKCOltD. Crook County Judgksiiip. The case of the County Judgeship of Cook countv is causing considerable talk, on account of the death of Judge Johns. The case Is something like this:"Judge Johns was elect ed County Judge in i8S6,ln place of a pred ecessor who resigned, and in 1888, Barnes stood as candidate for the office, claiming that Johns had been elected to fill only an unexpired term, and that his successor should be chosen In 1888. Johns claimed that he was elected for the regular term of four years, and his term of office -would therefore not expire until 1890." Govern or Pennorer says he will investigate the matter and act according to what he be lieves to be just. Crowino Western Oregon papers gen erally have done a remarkable amount of crowing over our weather. Here is one even from a Portland paper : "While por tions of the East are being swept with hurt ful storms doing damage to the unharvest ed portion of the crop and while England for a month past has had confinuous storms, so that their crop is in peril in con sequence, we have every reason to be thankful to the clerk of the weather for his beneficence for six weeks past, as our crop is being fast garnered and is already, at least three-fourths saved. We have had no such harvest weather previously for years.' To tiik Front. Mr. Chas. Met.gcr, agent for several railroad contractors in forms us that fifty Italians arrived in the city yesterday afternoon from Spokane Kails, and were immediately taken to the front to work on the Oregon Pacific. By considerable rustling, Mr. Metzgcr secured fifteen circus men who also have gone to the front, preferring railroad wages and ten hours a day to thirty-six hour stretches, with only six meals a week, which we un derstand is sometimes the program with the circus. There are now about 250 white men anu 500 ninamen at work on the ex tension.

On Monday as the circus parade was passing by the Ukmocart of fice, a smart "Aleck" of a young man, see ing one of the showmen driving a span of donkeys, began to imitate that animal by braying loudly. The driver very demurely remarked that animals of that kind always braved when they met. It was too good to be lost, and we would feel that we had not done our duty did we not put it In cold type. Caned To-day Judge Blackburn is forty-three years old. Last night his two tons caned him in honor of the event. It is a fine gold headed cane, inscilbed -'Kath-er. Aug. 29th, 1S88," and Judge Blackburn is justly proud of It. As the boys are now , too big to be caned the family hare conclud ed to reverse the usual order. The C. H. Yard. The grizzly looking grow in the court house yard is being mowed, and it is rumored that water will be intro duced, two sprinklers being set to work and the lawn mowed onoe a wtek, The Demo crat has many times suggested suoh a move and hopes it will materialize into a real live fast. On mi Other Foot. '-Our item about a young man named Harris being stood up by a foot pad Sunday eight was oorrect, ex cept the last part of it. Harris was the on who did the striking.

Brad. shaw, of the law film of Gates & Bradshaw, of The Dalles, died at his residence in that city lluirsday evening of heart disease. Mr. Bradshaw went to that city some years since from McMinnville, where he resided lora long time, lie was an old and rt-snrrr. ed citizen of the State, and had been Sena tor in the Oregon legislature. His death was verv sudden si mm n nnv . 1 : sick only a few hours. He was a'ged 61 years, and leaves a widow in The Dalles, and a grown son in McMinnville, who will receive th svmnnthv nf tu. 1... .. j j u. .lie .VIIIII1UII11V 111 their sad bereavement. Ex. Mr. Brad- snaw was in Albany several weeks ago, and less than a year ago married a Linn county lady. A Peculiar Threat. Loo McVay, in jail at Corvallis for stabbing his brother has Issued the following to Corvallis re publicans. We publish it simply on ac count of its curious nature: "I have worked for the republican party for thirty years and never received a cent Now I stand in need of a little help. I want some two men to go my bond for two hundred and ""J "", ur, 10 get. mat amount of money I will pay a ten dollar bonus for the use of the money, on the 20th day of November next.

Recently their leader Prof, Coom er resigned and went to Portland, and the boys concluded to quit also J but Adjutant M. W. Hunt, of the 2nd Infantry.O. N. G., declares that the regimental band enlisted last June for three years and has already received $200 from the state,and could not disband if it would. When told to play they will have to play. This makes the young men rather nervous, and they are realizing what it is to work for the government. Price of Wheat, Mr. D. O. Qr'ck, a farmer residing near Corvallis, was 1 1 the city to-day and stated that he had just sold his wheat to a warehouseman at Corvallis for 77 cents cash. The regular market price was 75 cents ; but he was allowed the two cents premium paid by the mills. We understand that buyers in Albany will not bid to day ; but that the price to-night will probably be 73 cents, though at this writing we have no authority for changing our present quotation of 70 cents. She Was Here. The American peo-. pie are easily gulled, especially when the "guller" uses a sympathetic dodge to de ceive the public. The big fat woman with the hand organ ground a good many nickles out of our citizens last Saturday bypassing herself off as a poor blind woman. We are credibly informed that she is not entire ly blind, but she has been following this circus for several years and accumulated more wealth than any merchant in Corval lis possesses. Times. A Philomath Woman. Last week Mrs. N. B. Davisson, ef Philomath, sold a twenty acre tract of land, now in the city limits of Tacoma, W. T., for $700 per acre, cash down. Five years ago Mrs. D. could not dispose of this property for $50 per acre. No Improvements have been made in the premises since then. A Boom Wichita, Kan., had a big boom, and It went down collapsed, judg ing from the remarks of Mayor Allen at a recent meeting of the city council. He said :. "I am In favor of re-locating some of the city lights. I see no use for lights on the prairie and in cornfields." A Holiday.

D., of Port land will preach in the Congregational church next Sabbath morning and evening. All are cordially invited to attend. Mr "Jim'' Titus, of Umatilla county, is in the city. Mr Titus was once a resident of Albany, leaving hero in 1881, when he sold his business to Mr II Eweit. With a policy of insurance in the Albany Farmers' and Merchants' Insurance Company yon are safe and can sleep well nights, be cause in case of a loss there will be a prompt payment without any trouble. F. L, Kenton still has a few boxes of the Premium Savon soap whioh he is selling at $1.00 per box. This soap was purchased in large quantity direct from the factory and this is why it can be sold so cheap. A fight this forenoon in W. Monteith's saloon caused a little excitement for a few moments around the corner but nn blnnd shed. It seems that one man was trying to impose on the other ; but we do not know wnicnone. JNo arrests. An exchange boasts that a Philadelphia uiu Buvnreu uia connoence in Harrisons election by wagering $7500 to 10,000 that he will be elected. 'Seems to os as if the Cleve land man is lather entitled to the credit of oispiaying the most confidence.
