During the past twelve months the number of deaths of pioneers in this county has been remark ably large. Slowly the men who built up this grand county and made it the garden spot of the State are passing offt in most cases at advanced years. As there has been considerable comment on the subject wegive a list as nearly complete us we could secure it. James Garrett, Levi Kan nlng, Martin Costcllo, V II McKarland, Geo BMcKlnncy, Willis GalrtesJ R Houih, J W Tycer, Martin Wertz, Iliram Smith, Jas Shields, Thos Umphrey, W R Can non, John A Rohinctt, R S liurkhart, Jas Ridgeway, Clias T Ingram, Wallace Cush man, J J Davis, K 1 Italy, Knnch lloult, Samuel T Althouse, Henry Penland, Na than Bond, Samuel T Miller, John Mc Daniel, John McCoy, D I I'orter, Thurs ton B Davidson, twenty-nine among the men besides a number of pioneer women. A Big Ho'.'se. Nearly four hundred people witnessed the presentation of "The I World Against Her" by the Grismer Davics troup. A more pleased audience rarely congregates in the Albany Opera 'i House. The Company is a strong one ir. every instance. There are no "soups" in . the cast. Every part, unlike in mosttroups ' now-a-aays is well tilled, the plav Is emotional one ; but the third act alone has more comedy in it than some of the s I called comedies that once in awhile storm ', our valley towns. i Brownsville. Brownsville Is said to showing a decided improvement this ; spring, particularly since the purchascaof i the woolen mills. The outlook is remark- ably good for that place. An evidence of 3 improvement is the establishment of f real estate otlice, the hrst, we believe in the '! historv of the citv. It is to have a Scono school house among other things. A 1 writer to an Ex. from there sarcastically ? says. "We have no electric light plant nor V street railway franchise, but we 'git thar H L.U all me same Lebanon. The railroad has had anew sidewalk and railing put up nt the depot ; The sidewalk is nearly twice as wide as the old one, and the danger of falling off is ? checked by the railing. M E Ilearn has 1 offered five dollars reward for the arrest 1 and conviction of any person defacing t mis properly .... luessrs nun ilium anu : Clint Gordon, who recently took a thou t and head of rattle to Montana, returned Wednesday. The boys report having had a nice tiip, although very rough at times, Express. Brings Money Herb. Perhaps nn in stitution in Albany brings as much money i into the city from outside sources as Al 'bany Karmers' & Merchants' Insurance 'company. This month the receipts in 'premiums will amount to about $Sooo, and for the year it is safe to predict they will be $"tco,ooo, or near that amount. Con siderable comes from eastern cities, a check being received yesterday from one agency tor $500. This is an institution that Is proving an honor to the city. j Kirst Strawberries. On this 27th day of April, 1SS9, Mr Wm Peacock comes to hand with a box of fine strawberries raised In the open air, red, luscious berries that Jput to shame the California article. Kor years at this office Mr Peacock has re vived the hrsl credit on tne sirawnerry uestlon. We only remember of one pre- lous occasion on wnicn tne presentation M made at as early a dale. Last year it tas some later. The outlook is good for good crop. General Order, No. 8. Members of Company are by this order notified to semble nt the Southern Pacific depot. fciformed, armed and equipped, at 6:10 a. ., Tuesday, April 30th, for roll call. Done tills 27th day of April, 1889, under rders of O II Irvine, Captain command g K. Company, 2nd RegtM O N G. T. J. Overman, r trst sergeant. THE MAN ABOUT TOWN Mr. Jack Dempsey has arrived in P01 si land. We advise him to keep away from Albany, as we have a couple youngsters here who wouldn't take a dare. Of course it is necessary In dramas and stories to have people make fools of them, selves, and then find out some awful mis take has been made, ai-.d repent and make up ; but we would like to see one drama In which the fool of a husband who throws his wife off, believing everybody but her, would end the play at a whipping post. But, alas, It wouldn't do for a troup with such a play t appear the second time. 1 ney would play to benches. Nolhlng sounds more peculiarly in Ore gon than thunder. It rattles our bones, as (t wore. Coming only once or twice a year a genuine thunder clap is a curiosity. Per haps we don't have enough of the attend ant electricity, but there is one thing on Inch we are to be gloriously congratulat ed, it saves being bored by electric light men. Ilereu.''er the prevailing price in Albany for shaving will be 15 cents. Everything else in Uregon dropped but the fees for shaving, now they have tumbled at least in this city. ' It may hurt some of the old settlers here to pay nteen cents ; but a ma jority of people will not kick Men coming from California here tell great stories about how the people of that slate lie about Oregon. Some of them must live 011 ashes. On the other hand Oregon treatsJCalifornia more courteously than the deserves. We are not all gam blers and hoodlums here, and when a neighbor cuts down a cherry tree we don't immediately declare it was a whole orchard of red woods. Oregon is a better country than California, and some day the fact will be stamped on the pages of the history of tne world. Taxes. County tas are now delin- ent, and the sheriff is anxious to have kin attended to at once. Call at his of- :e and save milnce. Arrangements are hng made to visit different parts of the mnty, when milage will be added. Serious Runaway. On Thursday Mrs Ily Brandenburg, of Harrisburg, w as rid- E in a'buggy when the horse became Ightened, ran away, threw her out and prt her quite seriously but not dangerous Two Suits. Two suits were com- kneed to-day in the circuit court, one by W Chastain against the S P R R com my to recover the value of a horse killed, id one by P A Moses for the value of two prscs killed by the railroad. $1000 Reward. The following has been received by the valley banks from the Sioux City Savings bank. Here is a chance to make $1000: "April 9th man, by fraud, secured from us our six months' certificate No 1815 for $4000; also a pass book, No 3071, on which a credit of $1500 was entered. We also gave him two $!OuO bills. Should any of these be presented, arrest the man and advise us by wire. We will pay $1000 for his apprC' hension. He is a man about 60 years of age, with gray hair and full beard; his hair and beard 6treakcd with red; about hve feet, ten inches high, and weighs about 175 pounds; dressed plainly, but neatly; had both a slouch hat and sllK hat; wore Knights Templar charm on his watch chain, also a cluster ring with three dia monds. He had an innocent face and manner, well calculated to deceive." To accommodate those wishing to visit Portland to attend the centennial celebra tion on April 30, a special train will be ruo on April 30 leaving Eugene at 4 a. m. and keeping 16 minutes ahead of the schedule time of the overland train. Excursion tick ets will be on sale 'rom April 29 to April 30. These tickets will be good to return until May Z. These tickets will not be good on the north bound California express trains. E. P.

Tiding, The following from the Albany corres pondents of a paper called the War Cry will he stsrtliog news to many of our citizens : "We visit nearly eyery honse in the place, and are received with a "God bless yon." The Christian Church (which we occupy during our stay) is always filled with a beau tiful audience. The people like the Army." Pendleton "lays ovei" any other towu of its size in the state in the matter of the sum ber and enterprise of its hotel runners. At every train an an.nsing comedy is enacted with an irate passenger, overladen with bag gage and family, and two or three runners in the principal roles. Zi'as Oregouian. Now, what's the matter of Albany. There are two twin boya in the Lewisville, Polk cosnty, school, who look so much alike that when one gets head in the class, the teacher has to ask him which boy he is, so s to give the right one the head mark The only difference between them is in their names, and that one weighs a very little more than the other, bat the teacher cannot take time to weigh them. Cor. ot Ex. The following item from the Washington, D C, vtar, will interest many in Albany: "Reading Clerk Gilfry, of the senate, has two little girls Sallio nnd Helen, eight and six years old. There is exactly two year; difference in thir ages, both being born on tha same day of Ihe month. They are al ways dressed alike, and are pretty little gitil," ' 1 C Dilkey, until recently one of the guards in the penitentiary, will soon have a ferrv ready for operation on the river here. It will prove a great convenience ta piople liv ing opposite the city in Marion couaty, and it is hoped remunerative to its owner Item ivr. The Democrat is informed that Mr Dio'iey has given up the project and will re turn to the penitentiary. Z X .Scott, receiver, Mr Mack ay of Soot land, liquidator under Mm'e courts, and J McGuire, superintendent of the Oregonian narrow guage railway lines in the Willamette valley, went up to Eugene the other day and thence to Coburg and over the line of the Narrow Guage. There are many reasons to believe the rosd will be extended to Albany and probably also to Eugene, INK WAY, E. O., April j6lh, 1889. Editors Democrat : Your M-r city, Salem, is representing to emiginnis who travel the O. S. L., through their agent, Mr. Drake, at Pendle ton, that Salem is the only town in the Valley Drake boarjs the train when it stops and distributes pan.phlets and maps representing Salem as a great metropolis, etc,, etc. Salem Is trvinir to boom bv drawing Ihe flow of emigration to its cen ter. These train loads of home-seekers that arrive daily are generally settled by such schemes. Now if Albany will do something of the sort to divide the flow of emigration, she will get her share and be on equal footing with Salem or any other town in mat particular. It is undisputed that Albany has a better prospect for a bril liant future than any other city in Oregon. Salem can delude these emigrants into the belief that Salem is the only town in the v ancy, oniy as 10113 as she can keep them from going further up the Valley. Yours Truly, Ji. Oregonian. The regular meeting of the Union will be held on next Tuesday afternoon. Let the attendance be full. The last meeting was an interesting one. The new Presi dent appointed her committees and a part of her superintendents. A complete list will be published as soon as all appoint ments are made. The new year opens ery auspiciously and good work in many f the departments may be expected. Miss Kate Field recently gave in Wash- ngton a "reception" with an anti-prohlbi tion address, followed by an elegant wine supper. 1 ..-k Here.

T, V 1 he matron of "The Tombs" of New York City, Mrs. McAuliff, was asked in a recent interview, "what was the chief cause of crime among women under her care in the city prison," she promptly re sponded "cheap drink." The women often tell her that they can get trusted fci all the drinks they want at saloons. "Drink," says the matron, "is the root of all evil. Every crime, every wrong deed is the re sult of drink. And sending; women to the Island does more to promote the evil than anything else." "No woman," she adds, "who serves a term on the Island ever re forms." These unfortunate women be come helpless slaves of the drink appetite, anu sucruite cveryming lor 11. ine slate owes tnem protection by closing the doors of temptation, and sheltered homes, with industrial opportunities, should be provid ed tor tnem. iney are neglected and os tracised by society at its own peril. Grand Master Workman.Mr. Powderly, is a grand man and not afraid to say just what he thinks. His views on all question of labor are clear and hie utterances forci ble. He does not hesitate to urge temper ance measures upon the organization he represents, stating his position In a manly, straight forward way. In a recent Inter view he said : "Some men say to me, 'whatever the Lord has put in this world is for a use. Here is liquor. Isn't It to be used ?' Yes, and the Lord put iron ore In these mountains, but He never Intended that it should be made Into jimmies and burglars' tools. If men will not listen to advice and reason, if their appetites have become so depraved as to lead the brain, then the temptation should be removed ; and there is no more effective way ot do ing this than through absolute prohibition. If a man is known to have a mania for sui cide the law will prohibit him from taking his life In so sudden a manner ; and I see no reason why we should not establish law which will prohibit a man from not only taking his own life by slow degrees, but ruining the hopes of salvation hereaf- er. and the temporal happiness ot wlte ana children. And now that the question has come before the people of Pennsylvania I shall vote foi prohibition ." Kid Cloves I Kid Gloves I I I have just received a full line of kid golves branded Our Own.
