Quite a Difference. The following shows the relative difference in the price of thing in a very marked manner. The figures will not exactly apply to Linn county ; but they are near enough to make i the illustration complete : In :8i6 one bushel of corn would buy one pound of J nail i. In iSSS one bushel of corn will buy I ten pounds of nails. In 1816 a pair of wool i en blanketscostasinuch as a cow; in 1SS8 ! a cow will buy five pairs of woolen blank ! ets. In 1816 it required sixty-four bushels of barley to buy one yard of broadcloth ; in lSSS sixty-four bushels of barley will buy twenty yards of broadcloth. In 1816 it took twenty dozen eggs to buy one bush el of salt ; in 1880' twenty dozen of eggs will buy ten bushels of salt. In 1816 it re quired one bushel of wheat to buy one yard of calic ; in 18SS one bushel of wheat will buy twenty yards of calico. With these figures before you, who can justly claim that farm products are not improv ing ? The outlook for the productions of the farm is certainly hopeful. The farmer can exchange hi crop for more of the nec essaries and luxuries of life than at any former period in the history of our country. Prominence. Every paper has some claim to prominence. F'rinstance the Astormn is published the farthest west of any daily paper in the United States, the Ortgoman is the only daily morning paper in a city of 40,000 people, the Tacoma Ledger is the only eight-paged paper pub lished daily in Tacoma, the New York Herald is the only paper published in I America with a French and English edi lion, etc. And now comes the S. F. Alia. I That is the only paper in North America 1 that costs mare to take it by the year than to take it by the week. Astoria'n. Moral subscribe lor the Uaily JJemocrat. THE ITALIANS MAD. The city to-day has been lively with the maneuvers of a mad crowd of dagoes. They want their money, and have made all kinds of threats against Searle & Deane and the O. P. railroad. Along the struct in front of the Flinn block about a hundred of them have spent the day, several lively scenes occurring during the time. About 11:30 Searle and Deane appeared among the men and tried to explain that they would make everything all right as soon as they completed the estimates and were paid ; but they wouldn't be appeased. Finally Searle and Deane started up towards Hew itt, Bryant & Irvine's office, when the whole crowd endeavored to l'ollow them.but were kept back by Mayor Cowan and Marshal Hoffman. Mr. Wm. Vance coming along took off his coat and was about to clean the street of the men atone sweep, when he was induced to desist. It seems that Searle & Deane had given the men checks on The First National Hank, and Job & Hamil ton, of Corvallis, The former were honored, but some of the latter were not, as there was no money deposited to meet them and this made them mad. l ime checks for one or two months offered were promptly bought by Curran & Mon teith for ten per cent off, a low discount andiess than customary. Some of the men are said to be without money, depending entirely on the pay ment of these checks for money to get out of the city on. Nothing very serious is anticipated, though Searle & Dean are watched in a savage manner, and almost any development is possible. Matters were considerably cooled down this afternoon by Curran & Msnteith tak ing up the checks on Job& Hamilton at 10 percent discount. Some of the men held out though and made all kinds of hot headed threats, declaring they would have the face or nothing. OH1TUAKY. Police Matters Six vags were cap tured last night and this morning, three of them being taken in the hall of the O F building, where they were sleeping. They were given three days apiece In the cali boose. Names Wm Cook, Jos West, Luke Madison, John Grilfin, John O'Brien and John Murphy. About 10 o'clock Chas Powell and E Sullivan were introduced to Recorder Henton, for being drunk and disorderly and were given three days in the caliboose. A Peculiar Case Mrs Catterlin, of Salem, was sick. It was thought she had an abcess in-her breast, and was being treated for one ; but it was not an abcess. It was a pin. A tew days ago in coughing violently she threw up a brass pin, almost worn to a thread. She remembered hav ing swallowed it just thirteen years pre viously. Mrs Catterlin is now a well woman. R. R. Meeting. The adjourned rail road meeting will be held to-night at 7:30 'clock, at No i's hall, for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee on ar ticles of incorporation, and adoption of the tame. A good attendance Is desired. Mrs. J. F. Backensto, the subject of this sketch, died at her hjmr in this city on Monday morning, January 31st 1889, at the age of 66 years, 6 months and 9 days. Mrs. Backensto's maiden name was Matilda M Stone. She was born in the town of Weston, Erie county, New York, July 1 2th, 1S22, she moved with her par ents to Crawford county, Penn., when about 15 years of age, and was united in marriage to Mr. J. F. Backensto on the 8th day of Dec. 1839, and to the time ot her death they have passed life's journey to gether.she having been a true and constant companion and helpmeet for her husband for upwards of 49 years. Soon after her marriage she with her husband moved to the then Territory of Wisconsin, where they remained until the spring of 1853, when they emigrated to Oregon ; crossing the plains with an ox team. They arrived in Linn county in the mor.th of Septem ber of that year, and settled in what is known as the forks ot the Santiam. After taking up and perfecting a title to a dona tion land claim they moved to Marion county ; and in the year 1865 they came to Albany and became permanent residents of this city, where they have lived until the time of her death. Mrs. Backensto was a consistent chris tian and a kind hearted and efficient worker in all cases where aid or assistance was re quired by those in need, ever ready to lenu a neiping nana, sne assisted in organ izing and was the first President of the Ladies' Aid Society of this citv. She united with the Cumberland Presbvterian Church in the year, 185c, afterwards unit ing with the Congregational Church in this city, and was at the time of her death a mrmber. Funeral Services.

If yon want the cheapest and best beating atove call on G. W. Smith, who ia offering some of theai at cost to make room fur his large spring stock of cook stoves. Albany has three tailors. If our citizens would patronize them instead of giving or ders to irresponsible itinerant measurers, they would all make a good living, Mr G W Simpson has nurchassd the re msinder of Monteith A Seitenbach's stock of goods amounting to $4,000, and will continue to oner immense bargains. About a dozen legislators aie in the city waiting for the belated morning train, two ears of which were run off the traok at Rid dles. The train is expseted in at 7 o'clock to-night. Wm Fletcher, one of tho leaders of the famous Albany hose team that went to Port laad and Seattle, is in the city, after a resi dence in California of several months. According to the following from the A- torian Astoria must be the wettest place in Oregon: ' The Astoria rainfall for '84 was 49.3S inches; '85, 56.16 inches; '86, 71-59 incnesr 87, H2-09 inches; 83, bS 73 inches." A man has been forging on the banks of Spokane. On f 15 check was changed to $1500, and paid; one of $25 was changed to $2500, and paid. Two or three other cheeks are out, and they may yet be presented, and the man be caught. About the only things that have failed in Qrecon this wiuter have been newspapers. It takes considerably more than buying some typs and an ink roller to run a newspsper in Oregon. Just try it yon are not satisfied of the fsct. One Jim Kelley went to the caliboose Sat urday much against his will. H showed Ught all the way to mat palatial institution, and only a policeman's club would appease his uesire to run the city bimselt. It has been figured out that 200.000 Deo- pie will come to Oregon thia year. If 100,000 remain in the state Linn county should get from 5000 to 10.0U0 ot them, just getting its share. Of oourse the 100,000 is some what of an exaggeration. Tbe London Timet says that the young emperor ot China, who is soon to be married, will he presented with ono principal wife, fiye subordinates and seventy.fi ve conoubines, on the day of his marriage. Who wouldn't be a Chinese emperor. Rer Hays, who has been assisting in re ligious services at the U P church, returned to his hon e at Waitsburg this morning. Rev Logan, of Portland, will take his place this week sad services will be held afternoon and evening. A gentleman informs us that the man who disappeared from Tacon.a and could not be found, left there beoajte he was disgnsted with the place, and cams to a better eity , Albany. The Mew York World has made arrange ments for an exploring expedition to Central Africa to obtain authentic news of Stanley and Emio Bey. It will be led by Thomas W Stevens, who will make a tour around tha globe on his bicycle. He is now en his way to Zanzibar, from where the expedition will etart. 1 The man who stated last season that he had made a profit of over $200 from six hsns the previocs season has lot the secret out. It seems he sold them early in the spring and mads his money by only planting his garden ones. W. R. lliarst, tho proprietor of the Ex aminer, is now in London. England, and left California during the middle of December by special request from Jamra Gordon Bsnnstt, It is generally rumored that the proprietor of the New York Herald is negotiating with Mr. Hearst for the purpose of jointly issuing the two papers and forming a combination that will startle the American people. TEMPERANCE COLUMN. Edited by Albany W, 0. T. U M The Madagascar Tinus dated Antunana vo, October 27th, 1888, announes that Irs. Leavitt left that riiv tha Thursday. It says that the Sabbath pre ceding she gave four lectures in different places, Including the Chapel Royal where e was invited by Her Majesty, the queen, to fulfill the morning duties of the pulpit. The scene as described by the reporter Is heart stirring : "The Palare rh,-,-v crowded with eager listeners ; the young monarcn on her carved oaken throne tow ering above the elite of the Hova Court, aiuooKonand listening to thb venerable lady. Her lecture, or sermon, was highly dressed a meeting presided over by Mr. PipLer.nlll II l c - ,,. u. 1,1. vice-consul ; ner topic was 'Reformsof the Nineteenth n. tury prison reform, anti-slaverv. antl- Innk, anti-tobacco." The most reliable authority declares that 6,000,000 barrels of malt liquor are annu ally consumed in New York and Its imme diate vicinity. Some breweries produce each 160,000 barrels of beer in one year, and of such establishments there are no less than 150. It follows that brewers have gruwn wealthy and exercise a command ing influence in the city government. Beer saloons are found on every square of the business streets. On the corner of 7th Avenue and street, the writer, at the beginning of this month, counted no less than eight liquor saloons in full blast. Most of them were fitted uo suDerblv with polished mahogany and r.umerous mirrors, and, we were assured, with pictures which only a very bread taste could fail to de nominate as obscene. Ye, these eight sa loons were in the veryhea;tof those noble piles of flat-houses in which a large and weauny class 01 inhabitants make their homes. GOLDEN RULE BAZAAIi. Cash Goes a Long Wuys at Julias Gradwhal't I have made arrangements for buying goods direct from the factories in Europe and will sell at wholesale or retail, cheaper than any where else on the Pacific Coast. The following are some of my cash retail prices : 'A dozen unhandled .ea cups and saucersr 35 cts. A dozen unhandled coffee cups and sau cers, 45 cts. dozen handled coffee cups and sau cers, 50 cts. ii dozen seven inch dinner plates, 45 cts. These goods are all iron stone China and not a cheaper grade of goods. I have also added a good stock of groceries, which I ask people to call and examine and judge for themselves as to qual and prices. Julius Graowohl. DEALING AT "BROWN A colored preacher "supplies a long felt want" by inventing a word : "What you want, bruderen," exclaimed he, "what you want is sanctifigumption ! Get sanctifi- gumption if you don't get nothin' else." We say amen with as bie emnhasls as if we were Methodists. Grace, grit and gump tion has been our favorite recipe ; sancti figumption means the same, and there are folks who will be more impressed by one uig wuru man Dy tnree nine ones. Pure Milk.
