uettino ,ves.-a rendleton paper
makes the following naughty remark
about a Portland paper: "The Portland
News says a subscription paper was in cir
culation in that city Tuesday for the pur
pose of raising a fund to pay the Oregonian
for a publication of the facts in regard to
the smallpox in Portland. Any sort of
facts will be published, If the fund raised is
large enough." This was previous to that
Dig seven column article. Anyway the
subscription will not be necessary as all the
country papers are doing the work gratut'
tously. The truth is, though, they go to
one extreme as far as the Portland papers
ao to tne otner. Some seem to think it e
grand opportunity to get even with Port
land.
A Big Difference. There will be a
great difference in miller's and shipper's
prices in the wheat market. Sixty-five
cents a bushel is all that the general mar
kets will warrant for shipping purposes,
yet as high as seventy-five cents is paid by
Pendleton millers in order to secure grain.
a difference of ten cents a bushel. B. O.
That sounds rather curious, coming from
me center ox a Dig wneat country.
That Petition. Some one has asked
us in reference to the petition presented to
the council recently asking for the grant
Ing of an electric light franchise to A P
Bacon, of San Francisco, for twenty-five
years. The name of nearly every business
man In the city, is on it, 132 in all.
We are informed that only two objected
to signing it.
Stinit A. Stinit, the bilk, has reached
Albany, We w ere in hopes he would lo
cate in Salem. That city has the biggest
asylum in the state.the biggest state house,
the biggest Indian school, the biggest pen
itentiary, the biggest Court House, and we
are willing for it to have Stinit too. We
don't want him.
Married. In Portland, on Nov 29, Mr
Jos Webber, Jr, and Miss Annie Mansfield,
Rev Clapp officiating. The happy couple
passed though the city last evening on their
way to San Francisco on their bridal tour.
The Democrat extends them its best
wishes
Perpetual Life. A scheme to catch
the unwary is an advertisement stating that
the advertiser will Bend to any one en
closing the sum of one dollar the secret of
perpetual life. The "sucker" who sends
the dollar receives by return mail ft neat
card, on which are printed the words,
'Don't die."
Married. On Sunday, Nov. 25th, 18S8,
in Walla Walla, Mr. William Cecil, of Ar
lington, and Miss Vira Moss, daughter of
Assessor Moss ef Sweet Home. May thev
live long and prosper. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil
became acquainted last summer at Soda
ville, where both parties were spending the
summer.
Dress Shoes A fine job lot of men's
shoes, 100 pairs, all different, No 7's, best
in the city, at G W Simpson's. They
range in price for from 81.50 to $3.50
about half of the regular price. No such
bargains anywhere.

TUE MAN ABOUT TOWN
City elections in Albany are very mild
affairs, and generally good natured ones.
Very little mud,is slung and the newspa
pers keep their hands out of the matter,
owing to a time immemorial decree. One
peculiar thing about them is that you can t
most always sometimes tell who will be
elected.
II II
According to the almanac winter has be
gun ; butour winter days if set down back
East in the midst of one of their ravaging
snow storms or blizzards would cause a
panic. They would think there was a fire
raging.
II II
Mud is not indigenous to Albany. Every
city in the State is muddy. Corvallis is the
muddiest, then Eugene, then Salem, then
Roseburg, then Albany, we judge basing
our verdict on the degree of emphasis our
exchanges s in announcing the fact. The
truth use we can't help having some mud.
A scraper on First Street '.hough occasion
ally does improve matters considerably for
several weeks.
Its Authority Several days ago wc
asked the Corvallis Gazcte for its authority
in reference to an alleged case of small
pox on the Occident. As we have already
referred to the matter wc give the Gazelle's
answer :"OnatripoftheOR&N steam
er Occident up the river from Portland
about twenty days ago, the fireman Charles
Burt, was taken sick before the boat reach
ed Albany, and was confined to his bunk,
and on her return to Portland a new man
acted as fireman. When she arriyed at
Portland Mr Butt was taken home and a
physician called who said his was a case of
small pox. After this discovery the mat
tress anu Dea covers used Dy tne sick man
on the boat were immediately burned and
the state room or berth fumigated. One
ot tne decs lianas employed on the Occi
dent at the time is now on the steamer
Bcntley. Guy Powers, nightwatchman on
the Bentley, furnished the report to the
Gazelle last week, and from him is learned
what is found above.
Something New Now is the time for
mince pies,and the very bestis the NewEng'
land mince meat, a large shipment of which
has just been received by Wallace
Thompson. It is put up, wrapped in waxed
paper, and enclosed In a paper box with
lithographic label and slide cover which
keeps the meat from the flies and dust and
enables it to be examined at any time and
the cover replaced. One package is
cnougn ionwo large or inree small pies,
and all it costs is 15 cents a package.
Cheaper than any mince meat in the mar.
ket or any made at home. A rich delicious
mince meat, made of the choicest apples,
beef suet, raisins, currants, citron, sugar,
molasses, boiled cider and pure spices.
The result of careful experiments with
popular N E receipts.
The Coming Attraction. The Ore
gonian in speaking of the production of
"Chip O' the Old Block,"now on the boards
at New Park theatre, Portland, and which
is to be presented here next Wednesday
evening, says : "Another fine house en
joyed "Chip O' the Old Block" last evening
and the fun was fast and furious. Miss
Jessie Eonstelle increased the favorable
impression made on Monday and evoked
unstinted applause in her songs and imita
tions. She is a delightfully fresh and naive
soubrette, clever in the extreme. Mr.
Scott's Commodore WfllL It am, feint aa
