The Figures In corroboration of the remarks made yesterday In reference to robbery In our assessment system ore tlie exact figures in Marion and Linn county assessments. I lore they are : I. Inn coun ty, $5,454,957 i Marion, $4,415-45- State tax for 18S9, Linn county, $20,183.34 ; Marlon county, $16,337.18. The assess ment In that county, based simply on Linn's should be nearly $7,000,000. That county alone will be seen thus to rob the State annually out of about $13,000. Linn is considerably the heaviest tar pay", the State except Multnomah county. Eith er this county is much wealthier, which Is not the case, than Marion, or else we are too honest or they are a peck of rascals. Now which is the case. Tkiku to Stand Him Up. Last even. Ing about 6:30 Johnny Hail was going home along Ferry Street, on his Columbia bicycle, when a man stepped in front of him near the ditch, raised his hand and said, "Stop, I want your money." Instead of stopping, Johnny added steam to his ma chine, and the man, rather than be run over, got out of the way, and the bicyclist sped rapidly past followed by a volley of oaths. When out of the man's way Johnny turned and asked the would be standcr up how much he wanted. These men are nat urally cowards ; but once in awhile they Btrlks a person v. ho complies with their ic qucst rather than run any risks. The agent of bicycles says the moral in this case is to always ride a Columbia, The Concert. "The greatest musical event of the season came off at the Acade my last evening in one of the 'ncomparable concerts of the world famous Boston Quin tette Club. It is folly to attempt anything like criticism of the performance of these great artists. Their music Is simply the very perfection of harmony. Each mem ber of the quintette is a master of ills art, and the five combined pour fourth the most enchanting melody. Every piece was rapturously applauded." Charleston Cour ier. Monday evening at the opera house. Penetrates Foo Pendleton has elec lignts on its streets; but they are incandes cent, and as a result the E. O. says: The "The dense fog of the past few iiights rend ers the incandescent street lamps useless, and a pedestrian without a lantern stands a good show of bringing up against the trees which grow in the middle of the sidewalk in numerous places, or else falling into one of the numerous pits and holes which adorn the streets." Albany arc lights, though, penetrate the densest fogs and shoot out blocks upon blocks. Our streets are well lighted and nothing approaches the arc light for the purpose. . THE MAN ABOUT TOWN The Man About Town would like to see every last newspaper in Oregon dip its pen in gaul,or something else that's bitter, and attack the present assessment system In Oregon. Things would haye to move then, and our legislature might possibly think it had a task before it. II Somebody's bovine pastured in the M. A. T's yard last night s squeezed in be tween some pickets where the fence was being repaired, and helped herself to cab bage stalks, myrtle leaves and clirvsan. themums. No wonder we want the cows to go. A respect for even the present ordin ance would Tix this beast. II II The M. A. T. has just read that a wealthy lady of N. Y. has discarded the customary knife and fork from the table and substi tuted in the place of these necessary din ing implements fanciful daggers and min iature swords, enriched with jewels and fine art work. Nevertheless a potato is a potato, and good, plain food with clean knives and forks is good enough for the M. A. T. whose jewels consist of flesh and bones. II II The last Item reminds us that some peo ple are getting as crazy as they were dur ing the famons tulip craze narrated by Ad dison In his Spectator. Chrysanthenums are now on top. One sold a few days ago in New York City for $1250, and a new Connecticut variety has just been named after Mrs. Harrison, who acknowledge the compliment expressing much gratitude. Really we do like to see the wealthy throw their money around carelessly ; but such things as these would make a court fool of the time of Edward I look glum, "Albany at ber city election Monday cast 475 votes. In April Eugene cast 45G votes in the city election. We are satisfied that the increase in Fugene since that time would show a larger voting population than Al bany." Eugene Guard. The vote cast waa 480, probably 75 less than in June, owing to the fact that our citi zens did not turn nut. The population of Albany has increased several hundred during the last year; yet the vote cast was ibout 15 leas than that of the city election of Deo 1887. Albany's population is fully 600 more than Eugene City's. Babies. The finest line of baby carri ages in the Valley just received at Stewart & Sox's. Prices are remarkably cheap con sidering the superior quality of the carriages. 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 ii.50 to $3.50 , about half of the regular price. No such , bargains anywhere. Shoes, Shoes, Shoes. In this line w have always shown the very best goods to be found in the markets of America, the knife will be put to goods in this depart ment as they must go. Call and see fur yourself.
