' At Corvallis Friday, Judge Fullerton of the circuit court, issued an order di recting the unrestricted sale of the Oregon Pacific railroad property by the sherifTon or before December IS. If report are true there will be some lively bidding on the road at the approaching sale und the road will be sold this time ithout fail. Rey. N. J. Bryans and wife, Evan gelists, are in our city, holding meet ings in the South Methodist church. Both are flue speakers, and have had a good house every night. We hope tbey will do much good while am ng us. Their meetings in Albany and Eugene resulted in many conversions and additions to the different churchi s. Last week some sneak thief entered the residence of Wm. MarkB and stole a purse with about $9 in it. Mac Wiley discovered the thief and exchanged several shots with him, but did not capture him. Friday Mae had a search warrant sworn out, and with Consta ble Morgan went out and searched the house of John Marks, which resulted in bis arrest. Marks was brought into town and on Saturday brought up be fore JuBtice Elson, but not being ready for trial was given until last Tuesday to make preparation. On Tuesday he waived examination and was bound over to appear liefore the grand jury. It is reported that the evidence against bim Is good. Thi Eugene cannery has completed the work of drying prunes for the sea son of 1893. The product dried amounts to about 25,000 pounds of the article ready for market, the green fruit amounting to about 118,000 pounds. At Dr. Sharpie's dryer we are reliably informed there were 60,000 pounds of dried prunes, or 220,000 pouuds of green fruit. In one day the Dr. turned out four tons of dried fruit, and he is oonlident that with proper furnaces he oau easily dry five tons per day. The eanntry will probably make a short run canning corn before it per manently closes down for the season. This has been a very poor year for caunpries. Nearly every one of these institutions will lose money this year, Eugene Guard. , . I Thursday morning, Oct. 12, Mrs. I .In in cm Harris, residing ill Benton i fenny, a few tt-iiles from Albany, had washed her face and was reaching for a towel when she fell lo the floor and expired almost instantly. The cause was In-art disease. Mrs. Harris was 35 yeat of age ami was highly estnemed by her neighbors. It seems to us that It would he ;i good Ideu for the city council to pass an or dinance making it a finable offence to ring the church bell longer than one minute at any one time. The way some of the ringers have, of ringing the bell for ten, nr fifteen minutes at one time, has grown to be a nuisance that should lie abated. Charles Millbern, all employe of the Oregon Pacific company in this- city, was arraigned- liefore Justice L. M. Cfrl yesterday on a charge of abduc tion. The alleged crime consists In having enticed away from her home Miss Pirtia Spuight, Ihe 14-ycur-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. (Keorge Spaight. Mlllhern waived examina tion, and was lield in $100 bonds, wbLh he gave, to await the action of the grand jury. Albany Herald. "During my term of service in the army I contracted chronic dianrimea," says A. E. Bending, of Halsey, Ore gon. Since then I Have used a great amount of medicine, but when I found any that would give me relief they would injure my stomach,, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy was brought to my notice. I used it and will say it Is the only remedy that gave me permanent relief and no bad results folluw. For sale by M. A. Miller, Druggist. The funny man of the EugeneGiiard got off the following at Junction City's expense. "We are told one oEJuueiiou City's-ynung men has undoubtedly u very bad case of lovesick tiesa. A few days ago he called on the bdy love of his choice, and informed her of the state of his affections, and that he couid not live without her; that unless she-reciprocated with him exclusively he would take strychnine and commit suk-ide. To prove his assertion he pulled a phial out of his- pocket and paured part of the contents into bis- hand. The horror struck maiden was equal to the occasion. 'Hold on !' she exclaimed,' 'I will get you some water and it will not taste so bad.' " Mrs. Sadie Toole, wifc of Wm. Toole, who lives on a farm near Albany, was arraigned in Justice Curl's court yes terday on a charge of "pointing a fire arm fit a human being." The com plaining witness was L. O. Hiatl. It appears that youiig Hiatt had some difficulty witli Mr. Toole on account of some cattle having got out of the field, and threatened to whip the latter. Mrs. Toole procured a pistol and went gunning for the man who was going to whip her husnaud, and for her display of firearms was placed under arrest by Constable C. G. Burkhart. She waived examination and gave (100 bonds for her appear ance before the grand jury. Herald. As will be remembered by our read ers some months ago Elizalieth Jordan mysteriously disappeared from the residence of her brother, near Dexter. The case excited the community and there were some who unhesitatingly claimed foul play and designated W. E. Jordan as the party responsible for the lady's disappearance. The talk has now brought out a suit for slander and damages, W. E. Jordan being the plaintiff and Joseph Parker defendant. The amount of damages asked by the plaintiff lo $22,500. The case wiil come before the next term of circuit court and no doubt will be hotly cou tested by both sides. The result of tliis case will probably decide the fate of some others in that neighlairhood. Eugene Register. The suit brought against the town of Sclma by the Mongolians who were turned out by the mob was not entire ly unexpected. It has, however, come in a different form from what was an. tlcipated. Tile Chinamen, if the com plaint is correctly reported, claim no damages for personal abuse or for prop erty destroyed, but ask the town to make good to them money, clothes and jewelry stolen. They will have to prove to the satisfaction of the jury tbat they lost any clothes or money. Their property was damaged but they have ouly their own testimony that they did not do some of the destroying themselves. We do not see why or how the towu can be any more respon sible for the thefts than they would he for any other house-breaking. The action of Ihe mob is by no means Justi fied and the town might lie II able for property destroyed by them, but we think it going just a little too far to ask pay for fictitious sums of money claimed by the Chinese, to have been stolen. Sclma (Cal.) Irrigator. Council Proceedln-cs. Council met last Tuesday evening In regular meeting. All the memliera an swered to the roll call escept Council man Dalglelah. The minutes of the loabtwo-meetings were read and approved. The committee who wcro to look Into the matter of having the cross-walks put In across the railroad track, made a verbal report, and after discussing the matter for some time It was decided-to drop the cross-walk business for the present, Quite a long etltloii was presented by Mr. O'Nell, asking for an arc. light near Mr. Wassom's residence. Another petition was read, asking for a light near Chus. Stokes1 residence. Another petition was read, asking for a cross walk across the street near Mr. Wassom's-. All these petitions were re ferred to the committee. A new cross-walk was ordered put In across the street, at Judge Miller's. The propriety of moving the arc light from the cnrner.at Judge Miller's to the corner at J. W. Menzies' was discussed, but dropped for the present. By motion an arc light was ordered to be put in at the cross street at the Baptist church. W. C. Peterson, of the fire depart ment, was present arid made a report of the condition of. the department. He reported that the company badly needed six hundred feet of hose. The council discussed the propriety of buy ing new hose, and;decided to postpone it for the present.

Mike Sexton, who for several years lias filled Ihe position of section fore man on the Niagara division oil, the O. P. In a very workman-like manner, was recently for some cause removed from the position. Sexton blamed 0. J. Mulcahy, father of Supt. R. E. MuW cahy, for the loss of his position, and met him on the train last Monday and beat him in a shameful manner. Sex ton's friends regret very much that he so far forgot himself as to assault and maltreat a man too old to defend himself. No wonder time is represented bb haggard and worn out; a watch keeps time, the chorister beats time, the clock strikes time, the cars run on time, the foreman lays out time, horses run against time, people threaten to do things if they get time, at a prize fight they call time, soldiers mark time, criminals serve time, few can spare time, everybody now and then tries tn kill time, and perhaps your subscrip tion tn this paper Is behind time; if so, please save time, by paying up this time. The good people of the north-east end of the city have been much annoyed for a long time by petty thieving. Bits of harness, fat chickens, ducks and turkeys, vegetables, oats, and things too numerous to mention, have beep stolen. The Injured parties have a strong suspicion as to who is the thief, aud a vigorous prosecution will follow him to the Jail, Tbey mean business, and the unlucky thief that falls In their hands will fare badly. County Judge J. N. Duncan and Commissioner J. W, Pugh huve beeu over to see the Sanderson wagon bridge, which is again threatened with destruction by the changing of the Santlam's channel, The recent flood washed away about fifty feet of the bank, and the river threatens to leave the biidge out on dry land, The river cut just this caper a few years ago, and the bridge was built twice its original) length to cover the new ohanuel. The bridge has already cost about (ilO.flOO and the county officials are debating whether it will be cheaper to keep fol lowing up the changing channel or tear the bridge down and rebuild it at some point where is a more permanent channel.
