The Lebanon branch jt.f the Southern Pacific is, as far a known, the only line runuing trains regularly in Ore gon at the present time, and it Id not knowu how long this will continue, consequently bo traffic is carried on 'bet wees this place and Portland, and ,ob this account our order for japer this week was not filled. Albany has a regular flood ef drum mers, who are cerraled by the high waters.- It is snid there are about twenty of them- They had a drum mer's dance two nights this week, and we understand they are making ar rangements to make up a trouptoplay Hamlet, the proceeds to go to ihe Orphan's Home. A very Interesting debate was held at Hautiaai Academy Jast Friday even ing the subject, " Resolved, that a minister of the gospel can, co&iistent ly, vote the republican or democratic ticket." Mr. Larr, a member of the society, and Prof. Wright, respectively, ted the affirmative and negative of the question. M. A. and F. M. Miller, on the outsidc,jaade some interesting and pointed remarks, and the leaders also presented their views in an ablemau aer. The decision was rendered in favor of the negative. There was much cause for excite ment Monday, account of the pre vailing floods and the number of argu ments which too; place. Because of the contiuued rain and wind storms Lebanon must needs have something to break the monotony, so two of its young men, getting into a heated dis cussion, went, as they thonght.outsido of the corporate limits' to settle tlieir " argument," which resulted in a three round contest, much shed 'ling of blood and a broken bone for one .f the par ticipants, fcince the above took place Lebanon has placed a marshal In office who will not fail to do bis duty when occasion demands, and it would be well to llnd where the corporate ljpiits of Jiio -lt xtcJ, .NEWS ITEMS.

The Indians are ulllictcd with the la grippe in its moi-t severe form, .ami are without proper' medical attendance. Bcventy-flvsi per cent of them are down with the epl dinic,and If speedy action is not taken by tin authorities In the way of Head ing physicians, few will survive. Last Friday night the penitentiary received a general assortment of now prisoners. They were three in numlxT and all from Portland. The invoice included a woman, a white man and a negro. The woman was Hael Nelson, who was convicted with Jhn Eonncr of the larceny of $570. She was sen tenced fortwo years, and Bonner, her pal, for three. Bonner was a mcml)cr of the trio. The third man was Samu el Wright, a negro, who will stop at Oregon's penitentiary for a term of one year. li s criniejwas that of obtaining money under fal?e pretenses, he hav ing issued and passed a check on a banl in which he had no money.

Lust Saturday, Jan uary 25, at 3:30 P.

Misses Maude and Lida Eaton visit ed the school last Friday afternoon Call again, ladies. Ahem. " One cf our young gentlemen seems to take quite a r interest in attending me literary society at tne academy. That's right, Bert, Improve your op portunities while you're young. We are 'glad to see Webster back again ; be has been absent for some time, bit Is now back againand dig' ginv' into solid work. It was said that " Collegiate " surely had library on the brain last week ; we hope so, at least, and that we will con tinue to have such until the disease will become contagious and spread until It will be productive of some good. . Hchool Is getting ajong nicely, espec ially tbo primary department, under the efficient management of Miss Griggs, x hich certainly deserves men tiou ; it numbers some W) or JO, with whom we believe Miss Grhjgs is doing a good work. It is certainly remarkable to see the interest manifested In trying to find out who that " infernal Collegiate " is. If equal interest could bo aroused in that which pertains to our f-ture wel fare, what a digging after knowledge there would be. 1 Foot-racing seems to be the order of tike day now. The contest for the silver cup will be oji th evuiiing of the first Friday in March. Quite a controversy arose on Wednesday In regard to the ProfesMor's time; some of the girk innisted that the time was too slow, while tho Pro fessor agreed to treat to oranges if his time were out of the way. Presbyter iaus dont believe in betting, but we got the oranges all the same. Several lady teachers came out from Albany Thursday and gaye us a very pteasant call. Ws exjwet them back again in about a month, on the occas ion of the " silver cup " contest. Ob the arrival of The Express last Friday there was quite an opposition expressed to the tone of our correspon dence. We cartalnly know there was no sonorous display of words, much Inks any literary excellence j hut we have not quite assumed the name of a "standard author," but we do expect to discuss the few points from our school that are worthy of attention. It Is certainly a poor dish without any seasoning, and Just so it is with an ar ticle of this kind all fact and no fancy does uot suit the tastes of all classes, hence the variety. Monotony should be avoided. "Cw-WBOMTjk" Tit New Council. ' On last Tuesday evening at the regular and appointed time thio City Council met as usual.. - After attend ing to the regular routine of business, tho newly elected city ofllcers were sworn in, each taking tho oath neces sary to qualify him to properly dis charge tho duties of his office, after which the old officors gladly stepped back and turned over everything to tho new charge with their best wish os. The old council has certainly done Well this year, and have tried to do more, hut failed only becauao the ordinances would not reach deep enough. In tho words of old wo would say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, como up higher." It is to be hoped that the .new officers will push things as they havo been pushed, and wo believe they will. The President appointed all the new committees fur the hew year, which wag about, all the business transacted I by thb , new council. After the coun cil adjourned the old members invit ed the new officers and their wives and a few of their friends to tho St. Charles Hotel, where, after spending some time in social converse, etc,, an elegant and sumptuous fewt was served. An Awful Death. The coroner's jury Friday returned their findings in the case of the dead body found a few days ago lying near the narrow gauge railway truck about a mile north of Aumsville. Coroner Byland being dead, the inquest was conducted by Henry Keeue, juslico ot the peace. After hearing the testimony of the witnesses and viewing the re mains tliey returned a verdict declar ing the body to be that of a man per haps sixty yesrs of age and to them unknown, there having been nothing by which to establish identity. They thought It was the body of a tramp and that he had met death while sleeping near his camp fire. During the night a wind arose, and a large limb of the tree under which he was lying was blown to tho ground. Its butt end struck Tjain squarely on the head, mashing it as flat as a board and spreading it over considerable space. The fall of the tree scattered the fire, which communicated to tho derd man's biauketand then to his cloth ing, and the leaves that formed his bed. When the body was discovered it was destitute of clothing and had the appearance of being well roasted. The verdict returned to the county clerk was 'in accordance with these facts. From the appearance of the remains the jury concluded that the man had been dead perhaps a week or ten days. The body, aside from being mashed and burned, was in a terrible condition and the sight was one not soon to be forgotten. Statesman, Kin Him nil Let Him Go. The story goes that a certain society yourig man, noted for his handsome bparing and winning voice, accompa nied a young lady to her home and, as all true lovers do, lingered yet a little while at the gate to have a lover's tetc-a-teto with his fair companion. The Bight was beautiful, no one near to Intrude, and above all. he loved! Why suouldu't she kiss him? With true maidenly modesty she refused. He implored. She still withheld from him that which would fill his cup of happi ness. The request was repeated several times, and so engrossed did the young man become In wooing that he failed to notice the approach of the paternal step. The old gentleman, who had been there himself and did not like to intrude on the happiness of the young couple, quietly stepping behind a con venient rosebush, waited, thinking the young man would soon leave. In this he was mistaken. The lover tarried over the request until the patience of the old gentleman was exhausted. A voice the couple well knew aroused them from their happiness iu a tone of impatient angor by saying: "Daugh ter, kiss the - fonl and let him go home!" It is reported that the young man only hit the ground in hiu places In his endeavor to comply with the old gentleman's request. lis. What a ForttrHd Is a good healthy, pearly skin.
