LOCAL KHCOKD. Tub Finest. Robert Nourse one week from to-night. This will be the treat of the season In lectures, and everybody should go. Just read this from the Public Spirit, of La Porte, hid., of Feb. 2nd, 1S88 : "The finest lecture of the course thus far was that of Robert Nourse, given on Wednesday evening, If we should say it was the finest lecture ever given in La Porte, hundreds of the audience wquld agree with us. Mr. Nourse came here a stranger, and captur ed all who heard hiin. lie is humorous, witty, eloquent, and sensible. His voice is strong and well modulated, his movements are those of a born actor ; his voice, ges ture, walk, and the play of his features, all serve to drive home fact, logic, and the lessons of the discpurse in an overmaster ing torrent which nobody tried to resist. It was a noble lecture. 1 t contained passages of thrilling eloquence ; it was illuminated by passages of keenest wit ; the humor was convulsing, and it comes olten enough to give variety and spice, anil excite the liveliest interest throughout. Two hours in length yet it seemed but a few minutes, for the delight it conveyed to every hear er. The Athenaeum As-tociation has been exceptionally fortunate in securing bril liant talent for the course. The master piece is Robert Nourse." That R. R, The directors of the As toria & Coast (and Albany) railroad held a meeting yesterday afternoon to commune together and report progress. Every one expressed himself as feeling greatly en couraged, and the people along the line of the road show a general disposition to aid in granting right of way, and in building the road. A meeting of the stockholders was held last evening for the purpose ef authorizing the stock-holders to increase the capital stock fro'n $75,000 to $150,000. Everyone seems to regard the building of the road as a settled fact, and as soon as the survey Is completed, anil an outline of work made, the work of grading will be com menced. Pioneer. A Gate. The easiest managed gate In Albany probably swings in front of the resi dence of the local editor of the Dkmocrat. It Is red now, but will not always be that color. It swings as easily as a bird on a twig and locks itself. It is ingenlus from top to bottom ; but wont eat oats. It hasn't any hip pockets and neighbors are aswel come as formerly, particularly when they bring cabbages and dressed Chinese pheas ants. Gates like the one mentioned can be bought of Stewart & Sox, and contem plated purchasers are welcome to examine the workings of this particular gate if they are subscribers to the Democrat. Premiums. The following Linn county people have obtained premiums at the state fair, so far as wc can learn: W T Cochrane, Brownsville, mare 2 years and over, 2d premium ; Jas Robnett, 4 years old stallion, 2d premium ; Barrows Bros., Shcdd, 2 year old stallion, Multnomah, second premium; Isaac Elder, Shedd, cow and heifer, 3 years old, first premium; R Mes sier, Lebanon, cheese, second premium ; A Wolverton, 25 pounds, three months of packed butter, first premium ; packed butter made on farm, 10 pounds, second pre mium. A Peculiar Sight. Yesterday tt,ter" noon two men with heavy overcoats on were seen eating a large watermelon in the rear of an Albany grocery store. As the weather was only mild, and most Orcgon ians will not begin the overcoat "racket" for several weeks, it struck a Democrat man that the overcoats must have been put on for the occasion. The sight was at least a peculiar one, considering the warm weather nature of watermelons. Military Election. Yesterday a special election for a successor to Lieut. Col. Patterson, who resigned, was held in Salem, resulting In the election of Major Rosa to that position and Capt. S. L. Lovel to the position vacated y Major Rosa. Capt. Irvine, of K Company Is now the Senior Captain of the and regiment, and will probably be the next to be promoted in case of a vacancy. Lieut Cusick, repre sented "F" Co. In the election. Will be the Best When completed Parker's restaurant, In the Strahan block, will be by odds the best one in Albany. It will have all the modern Improvements and is a very nice arrangement. Private eating rooms is a feature. Mr. Parker is a thorough restaurant man and knows what the public wants. He will be ready for business probably some time next week. More Siptiku. Mr. II. P. McGuire and ( has. F. Potter were in the Democrat office last evening aboul 5:30, interview ing this office when Constable Ilurkhart appeared and notified Mr. Potter that he was under arrest for Hue!. He was taken to the court house given an examination before Justice Humphrey, and held to await the action of the grand jury under $250 bonds. Mr. Poller is and was fore man of the Sifting ollicc, and having in formed Mr. Kurkliart in Portland that he knew who the Albany correspondent was he was considered a good man to arrest under the statute. If there are any more who had a hand in the mutter they will be duly captured. It is proposed to break this slanderous business 01 wnoiesaie unci of our citizens up at most any cost. Mr. McGuire still insists that he was only a stockholder and had nothing to do with the management of the paoer; but it looks very much as if he will find out before that matter terminates that he was something more than a witness from a distant hill top. He will find that it would have been a cheap way out of the matler to have di vulged the name of the correspondent. A disreputable correspondent to any sheet ought to be given away. G. II. St S. A. Yeslerday noon several railroad men at the depot were observed hy a Pemocrai man to be in a very heat disputution over something, evidently a serious .natter from the manner in which they handled themselves. ' A close in spection rcvealtu the fact that they had discovered a box car with the mysterious initials of G. H. & S. A. on it and were having a "set-to" as to what they meant. Engineer Ford ofiiered to wager his throt tle valve when at full tpeed that they meant Galveston, Houston & Southern Arizonia. Conductor Kennedy said they referred to Galveston, Houston & oan An tonia. Brakcman Morris was certain it was Galveston for the peanuts, and some one said the H. stood for Harrisburg The matter remained in statu quo. An in : ection of the car shewed that it came " om "Galveston to Albany," and had cer 'nly a very long trip. It looked rather lonesome a'nd forlorn so far away from home. Does any of the Democrat's readers know for certain the name of the R. K. A Biblical Puzzle. It takes a good Bible student to solve the following: If you multiply the number of Jacob's sons by the number of times the Israe'ite com. passed Jericho, and add to the product the number of measures of barley which Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the number of Haman's sons, subtract the number of each kind of clean beasts that went into the ark, multiply by the numberof men that went to seek Elijah after he was taken to heaven, subtract from this Joseph's age at the time he stood before Pharaoh, add the number of stones in David's bag when he killed Goliath, subtract the number of furlongs that Bethany was distant from Jerusalem, divide by the number of anchors cast out when Paul was shipwrecked, and subtract the number of persons saved in the ark, the remainder will be about the number of bad sidewalks in Albany it is actually danger ous to walk over. Raising Bonuses. Recently Weston raised a bonus for a flouring mill. The fol lowing from a Pendleton paper shows that the result is like what too often occurs where bonuses are raised for strangers : "Weston people are having some little dif ficulty on the flouring mill question. It has now been discovered that the man Shinna burger, who was supposed to be somewhat of a capitalist and was to build and operate the mill, is not possessed of a single red cent. Nothing daunted by this discovery, however, Weston's enterprising citizens have ordered the necessary machinery ,and the flouring mill will materialize, neverthe less." Sporting Matters. A young man in this city selling maps is said to be an ex pert pugilist. We would like to see him knock out Butler, the Portland barber who took us in; or how would a mill with the Sifting1 correspondent do. Anything for a little stir. A contest between some able bodied man and the tall nails in our side walks would draw a large crowd. The foot race to come off between Cam eron and Eoff is attracting some attention. Most Albany sports are backing Cameron. If they imagine they have a sure thing they may hnd themselves mistaken, as Eoff has beaten everybody he has run against. From Umatilla County. Mr. Jesse Moore, a prominent stockman of Urr.athla county, came all the way to Albany to have a tumor on his neck taken out, and to-day Dr. J. L. Hill successfully per formed the operation. That is going a good ways for a surgeon; but Albany has some as good ones as there are in the state. Died On Friday morning, Sept, 21, i3S8, of consumption, at the home of her step-father, Mr. Al. Thomas, Miss Alice Bentley, aged 14 years, 10 months and 13 days. Funeral to-morrow, at 2 o'clock, at M. E. church. Auction. M.J. Monteith's auction sale of dry goods will begin to-morrow after noon at 1 o'clock and will also be held in the evening. Every body .ladies especially, are invited to be present. An Intelligent Couple. A man and a monkey have been In the citv to-day reaping a harvest of nlckles. 'they at tracted considerable attention. Pay Car. The Oregon Pacific pay car was in the city to-day liquidating in full for wages, up to Sept. 1. It has became quite regular In its visits. Mr, S, H, Althous Is home from his l-gineamp IfOMK AND A I! ltd A I). Straw hats are disappearing. Six shaves fur a dollar at L. Vierick's Call oaM J M roteith for big bargains.

The cheapest place to buy meu's under wear in the state is at A. B. Mull wain's. Several sq'jaws have pitched a very dimin utive tent ou the commons near the depot, a sight not seen in Albany for several years. Quite a demand for girls to do general housework prevails in Albany. Hardly a Chinaman is now hired by a private family in the city. A Marion county woman has just picksd eight boxes of hops in a day. $4 is not bad waxes for au)boiiy. There are more though who do not pick oyer two nine bushel boma. Gen. Gibbon is on his way to Yaquina Bay w iui several companies 01 soldiers, and ex pects to reach there before an iuyasioo from Chins. The soldiers walk, and will travel about 400 miles iu that maimer. Life would ha-dly be worth living if i' were not for oceasionable items ilke the fol" lowing: Small boy I want to borrow bundle of hay. Fanner Is it for your fath" er ! Small boy No its for the horse. Fath' er don't eat hay. Van Cleve, of the Taquina Telegraph Pole remained in the city over niht on his way home from the State fair, which had been taking him in. He was as Hush as every other newspaper man and as he had been living on the top fence regretted getting back to the Bay, where there is nothing but clams and salmon to eat. The St. Charles Hotel will be opened to the public aext Monday. A Democrat man has given it a thorouijh inspection and to niorruw will give his impressions of this prao tically now hotel in oor midst. Rice Bros, are first-class hotel men and are hound to make the St. Cbailes a popular place. With all the modern conveniences it is a place Al bany people will have reason to take a pride in. The fourth day of the State fair was not the success anticipated on account of the rain, which put the track in a miserable con dition, as the exhibit in the pavilion is get ting rather stale the crowd present was rather of a tired one. The handicap run for $400, Rosa Lewis handicapped was won by Rosa Lewis, and the 2:27 trot was won by Kilty Lynch iu three straight heats. Col Bradshaw second. The speeial free for all run was post poned on account of the poor track . m m Other Ways. They not Only get away witn a man s money by big prices at Salem during State fair week ; but they have aivers other little ways down there for los ing money ,as witnesses the following from the Statesman : "Night before last Dr. Clough, of Walla Walla, and J. K. Misner, the well-known horseman, occupied Mayor Van B. DeLashmutt's room at the Cheme keta hotel, and when they woke yesterday morning, they found that some one h-d entered the room from the window during the night and abstracted from . the pockets of the former about $200, and from the lat ter $150. The night before Caos Matlock, tne norseman, and his wife, lost each a watch in the same way. They also missed money, jaxe weoDcr also reported a watch stolen, and several other parties were likewise robbed." Corvallis Mrs. J. T. Wolfe went to Portland Tuesday to reside. Her son, George, who is still at the Bay, will follow her Mouday....The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Porter died In this city on last Friday and was buried in the Crys tal Lake cemetery Sunday morning... .A. w .

The Cause. People who have often wondered whv life is so miserable when spent in the neighborhood of a young man learning to play the violin will understand the whole matter after reading the following which one of our Ex's stole from some other pa Pcr,: Granger of Staryatioflla Owned a yellow female cat. "Tab," while other cats would rove, Lay around the kitchen stove. A vouni? sinr ir Tlinmq. I'l-l, Hired to do young Granger's work, Slow at work and sure at plov, -ncm inree times a day. When hfM nrnr.l I. f , --- ---- muugii -mi, I nomas bought a violin. Said he'd learn to play a tune, n,c man uiu oi tne moon. To the soul what comfort brings i.iusie, uui ne still lacked strings. To secure them, without price, "Tab" must he a sacrifice. In a sack, when he had caught her, Soaked her in a tank of water, 1 hen, as wc have learned the facts Tapped her gently with the axe. Now as Tom sits in his chair, Doleful sounds float on the air Intermingled, here and there, Groans and shrieks that raise a our hair.
