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.

i3S8, of consumption, at the home of her
step-father, Mr. Al. Thomas, Miss Alice

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

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'

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."

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
