Lebanon Young Couple Have Trouble Getting License to Wed this Morning. YOUNG MAN UNDER AGE AND GIRL WITHOUT GUARDIAN After Much Difficulty They Secure Papers and Were' . Married by Judge. The plans of Dan Cupid did not work out very sutoothly this morn ing for Otto M. Powell, aged 20 years, of Berlin, Oregon, and Miss Cora Devine. age 17, of Lebanon, the county clerk and applied for a when they appeared at the office of marriage license. The first of their troubles came when the marriage license clerk ask ed the young man his age and he re plied that he was 20 years old. Being under age it was necessary to secure the consent of his mother to the mar riage and this was secured, she ue ing present at the office. The next difficulty experienced by the young people occurred when it became known that the young lady's father was dead and that there was no one legally competent to give their consent to her iuarr;age. To coin ply with the law in issuing the li cense, it then became necessary to appoint a guardian for Miss Devine, and the papers appointing Mrs. P. A.

Dr. Hinson's Bible Class- Other Attractions. "The Book of Hooks, or, Is the Bible the Word of God?" This was the subject of a lecture, delivered by Rev. Win. Spurgeon, at the Chautau qua grounds yesterday afternoon. Never before have the citizens of Albany listened to a more eloquent defense of the Bible or has a Chau tauqua lecturer handled his subject in a more forcible manner, than did Rev. Spurgeon. The speaker is both a scholar and an orator. He cares little for dogma but has a profound respect for the Bible. His appeal was not to the emotions but to the common sense of his audience, and his logic was un answerable. He seems to be a man of keen per ception and close eeneral observation. a trained student full of noble senti ment, inspired by a deep genuine Christian spirit, acquainted with the wants and aspirations of the people, and in full sympathy with human na ture. He has a telling way of apply ing the truth to the wants of all classes, driving home his remarks by some striking picture og every day life, or some scriptural illustration, in which he is aided by natural hu mor, regulated by sound common sense, and regard to the propriety of the pulpit. He lei t last evening for Gladstone Park, where he will con duct the course in Bible study at the Chautauqua at that place. Miss Sutherland s class in domestic science seems to be growing in pop ularity every day. Today she gave a practical demonstration of bread making by the use of compressed yeast, and of biscuit-making from baking powder and she had over 80 people in her class. Tomorrow morning from 9 until 10 o'clock she will talk on the dilTcrcnt cuts of beef,-1 their nutritive value and the proper way of cooking them to se cure the best results. In order to make a thorough demonstration on this subject a quarter of beef has been secured and will be cut up so that each member of the class may learn the proper name of each part and can place an order at the markets intelli gently. At the close of the lesson the beef will be sold to the members of the class and campers. The best way of cooking the cheaper cuts is by the use of a Tireless cooker, and this process will be demonstrated at that time. Lessons in this school cost ten cents each or the entire sea son for twenty-live cents. Prof. Sykes' class in nature study was very much larger this morning and all seemed to be taking very much interest in his subjects. This morning it was along the line of (lies and mosquitoes, ami his class seems to be very much delighted over t he way he handles his subject. Tomor row morning he will take up the re lation existing between insects and (lowers giving a great deal of the time to bees. In Dr. Hinson's Bible class this morning there were over three hun dred people present. His subject was "Preachers, Preaching, and What Should be Preached." and one of the According to a Chicago orator pn visitors from Yamhill county who lltical platform are not to stand heard it said this lecture alone paid U.pon, but to get in on. her well for attending the assembly this year. He certainly is a great Bible student, and delivers his mes sages in an earnest and impressive manner. Dr. Parsons again had charge of the forum hour, and delivered a mag nificent lecture upon John Knox, and the wonderful school system insti tuted by him. Nearly all who at tended the Bible class remained for this lecture, and they were well re paid for doing so, for it was a great literary treat, and paid splendid trib ute to the great reformer John Knox, and to old Scotland. Judge L. T. Harris of Eugene pass ed thrnugh Albany last evening to Corvallis to complete the work of the regular term of the circuit court. Henry WcsscI returned from a five years' stay a tPeoria, Illinois, to make his home with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Ludwig of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel M. Garland and family of Lebanon passed through Albany this morning to New port where Mrs. Garland and children will spend the summer at their cot tage. Mr. Garland will return Wed nesday. Mrs. J. J. Hoydar, wife of the local agent of the Oregon Electric Railway, arrived in Albany yesterday afternoon from Vancouver, Wash ington. She was accompanied by her daughters, Pauline and Josephine. Mr. and Mrs. Hoydar will reside at 426 E. Fourth street. Mrs. E. B. Day of Lebanon passed through Albany this morning to Cen tralia, Washington, where her hus band, E. B. Day, president of the Lebanon State Bank, is seriously ill. They will probably go to California for a few months for the benefit of Mr. Day's health. MRS.

Nutting. e Competition may be the life of trade; but one of the greatest nuis ances in the world, nevertheless, is two telephone systems in the same citv. Notwithstanding the umbrageous weather the Chautauqua is drawing tine crowds, an event that deserves the support of every person loyal to Albany. Other things get out of date in a season; but the Bible is never out of date, said Mr. Spurgeou, son of the world's greatest preacher. This is a shifting, drifting old age of ours, in which people change like the vanes on what few steeples are left. The things that should draw the best often draw the poorest, and things hardly worth while draw like a plaster. Is T. R. crazy or not crazy, that is the question that is agitating Henry Watterson and some others. Woodrow Wilson stands for a high citizenship and clean politics. Come on Mr. Hawley with that $10000 needed to set Albany's new postoihec building going upwards. Some men meet their obligations like a shark in the ocean. So far July has been off color; but that eastern wave will strike this val ley, and then have your fans and white trousers ready. The only charm a man with a ci garette going has is the one on his watch. Ten to one the person who hears Dr. Hinson every morning will be more than satisfied with the entire offering regardless of the cheaper quality numbers. The high cost of living will now be robed to the bottom. Albany is up-to-date. The kids this week are sliding down 'nil in July with their pants and pantietres as runners. If a litt.lt- old-fashioned, one is in the same class of Cupid who con tinues to use his bow and arrow. The woman who is a good house keeper, cleaning out all the dirty places, ought to have a province these day of dirty politics. It would do some old people good to get in a play-ground and be re juvinated. Dignity is a splendid thing in its place; but there are times when older people do well to be young in action and feelings. According to Dr. Hinson it is the business of the minister to preach the gospel of Christ, and not to run oyster suppers and numerous other things. It will be a good thing 'for the church when ministers generally appreciate the fact that it is the busi ness of the congregation to run the material affairs of the church, and the minister the spiritual affairs, and that both should be in harmony. The Chautauqua spirit makes an hour sermon more acceptable, .vherc ordinarily the listener begins squirm ing at the end of thirty mimiies. Speaking of experts it would take one to tell what real taffy is these modern days of praise without a rud der. An encore should mean something more than friendship. Albany is the railroad center of the valley now, and probably will con tinue to be. We have the actual goods, with the whistle of the en gines and the ring of the electric bells. An old saying is never to attempt to walk a tight rope unless sober. Well, a man has to be sober to do anything well. Drink makes a poor performer at everything. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank the many friends and especially the members of the G. A. R. and the ladies of the G. A. R. for their kind assistance during the illness and after the death of our be loved father and husband. PHEBA HILLIARD, AND FAMILY. mlBE"El Mmm Rev. Janus S.
