Taere was a large audience at the opera house last night to see the idol broken and also the pretty eirls in a program of great variety, full of sur prists, as advertised, rich costumes and as snappy as a bunch oi fire crackers, a geod many said the best yet in this line of performances. Miss Perle Bartu was the blight par ticular star, singing with a fine voica, ntuch ahead of the average comic opera vocalist. Don MacMillan as Doc Whatt is the genius of the crowd, a live bunch of fun. Six girls blossomed from a dragon, four came out of hot house plants, and the balloon scene over the audience was a very striking one, shown only from the light in the little affair itself. A pretty girl hovered directly over the heads of eight of Albany's bachelors, who arrived together, to wit: V. J. De vine. Clyde Dannals, Fred Weather ford. Dr. Walter Eilyeu, Ed and Frank Barrett. Harry Schlosser and Grandpa Crawford, and everybody was hoping the wire would break, so as to see which cne would get her. There was a continuous round of laughter and lungs were well cleaned out. '' Sheehan and Shinn. The Democrat in mentioning the presence here of Jas, F. Sheehan, the San Francisco lawyer, with Jas. A. Hoag, spelled it Shinn, a popular Albany name, the mistake being due to Mr. Hoag's snappy way of pronouncing Sheehan. If you want your eyes fixed go to Dr. Shinn but it will take Shee han to fix you up legally. Busy Mail Clerks.

News From Albany's Six Trains. Earlv W. B. Chance, one of Oregon's four mill inspectors, left on the motor for Springfield and other places. Twice a year Mr. Chance visits about seven hundred manufacturing establishments, including the greatest of them all, the print shops, taking a complete record and peeing that Jaw in reference to the protection of the employees is complied with. Superintendent Briggs, Miss Maud Lat.ghead and Miss Brown, of the pub lic schools, went to Portland to attend the state teachers association, in ses sion there this -week, in charge of some able instructors, a big thing for the cause of education. A crowd of Brownsville men and wo men came down to attend the trial of Martin agt. Brownsville, as witnesses, a case on the docket for some time, the issue finally being arranged.

The May Roberts company of play people returned from Lebanon, where they appeared three nights. . R. R. Com. Miller wont to Portland. Prof. Horner returned to Corvallis after spending the night in Albany with the Knights Templars. Carother's Amused. It is sad, also amusing to see the firess and the public of the land "Uzza" ike, putting forth the hand to protect Piatoism, because for. Thomas Alva Edison, punctured the Platonic Bag, that man has an immortal soul, and is conscious in death, but error always dies hard. The writer is glad that Mr. Edison is not the only wise man that has spoken out, King Solomon says "but the dead know not anything" Ecles. 9:5, also the Psalms 146:4 says "His bieath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that every day his thoughts perish." Now let truth pie vail. if Purgatory, Eddyism doctrines do fall, it only makes the doctrines of the Bible fhine out the brighter, such as the resurrection, soon coming of Christ, and the restoration of a sin cursed earth. A. .T. CAROTHERS. A Friend uf the Dog. I notice the article on dogs in the Democrat. Wo are not all a dogged set, but lovers of dumb annimals, put on the earth for the use of man. Why not kick at the horse as well. The dog has saved the Uvea of thousands of peo ple in the far north and taken the mail where other animals could not go. When a man gets so selfish that he thinks there is no room here for any thing but himself he had better go to the heathen country, the writer spoke of, where there will be no kindnessess expected of him. All the dumb crea tures God put on the earth are at the mercy of man, and I think that the man who shows them no mercy has little feeling for his fellow man, and a savage man is worse than a savage dog, for he is more intelligent and knows right from wrong. Yours for kindness to dumb animals. SUB. Lucky! Lucky! Pe;ple at the Sound of the Gong. Twenty-one lucky people, women and men receivtd. valuable merchund'.se gift" yesterday.

Oclob r the Marrying Month For thirty years nearly evory year there have been more marriage licenses issued in October than any other month, explained by the fact that it is just i.i the end of the harvest season, when money is more plontitul.

There have not been the number of Christmas weddings due, though. I An Example tor Albany. Corvallis Gazette-Times: Because he failed to make himself scarce last night when so advised by Chief Wells, a young hanger-on about the opera house spent two hours in jail, and paid a fine of $2.50 this morn ing. The young sports are in the habit of congregating on the sidewalk at the stage door, and in various ways making themselves obnoxious. Chief Wells has determined to clean up this situation and started his work last night. He told the boys to leave but one young fellow concluded that h would be very deliberate. Wells was in earnest, so took him over to the jail as stated. The boy was finally released on five dollar bail. This morning he pleaded guilty and was assessed $2.50. The next one caught will have to pay $10. Chief Wells deserves commendation for his activity in this respect. Returnedfrom Crook, F. H.

But prosperity prevails and business is good. Voting for better Roads, A dozen or more districcs are now voting on special taxes for road im provements. Several have already had their elections.

This will tie up the franchise uf the proposed roid lor a year.
