AROUND TALLMAN. .,
Since Tallman has become the cen
ter of two Important railroads, with
tlie prospect of ft new track being laid
la the near future, it was voted at a re
oenttown meeting that she should no
longer retrain quite, but should be rep
resented In one of the leading news
papers of the day.
The new switch was surveyed last
week.

On Sunday Inst, Albert, the son of
A. M, Wilson, received a severe kick
ou the leg from a horse. Although It
Is quite painful, he is getting along
nicely.
It seems another serious accident
happened recently, as a man about
town has been carrying his ear in a
sling. We understand, however, that
be is rapidly improving.
F. L. Frost, our enterprising ware
house man, imported a yoke of fine
oxen last week to use in the chop und

School Is still running in our district,
with a good attendance.
The Tallman L'tcrary is quite a fac

intellectually.
On January 19, the postofflce was
confirmed in the society by a ten
minute debate from "Senator" Mc-
Knight. And last Saturday In spite
of George's efforts it was decided that
the state should still support the Nor

cultural college.
As Throutman and Crawford are rep
resented lu the orchestra, it is needless
to say that we have good music.

ACADEMY NOTES.
Although you do not hear from us

The Business department has lost
one of its most promising students, in
the person of Joel C. Mayer, who has
gone into the grocery business.
Extensive improvements are being
made in the Assembly bail. A new
stage has been built, and scenes are
now being painted which, when com
pleted will be one of the most
thoroughly equiped stageB in the city.
A beginning class has been formed in
the Music department which meets in
the Assembly hall on Friday evenlugs.
ThiB affords an excellent opportunity
to learndlments of music and singing
An entertainment will be give on
February 10, Saturday evening, by the
student of the Academy. The pro
gram will contain a choice selection,
consisting of dialogue, recitations, mu
sic both voeal and lnstrumental, etc.
The proceeds will go toward defraying
the expenses which have been incurred
in building the new stage. Be sure to
come and tell your friends.

Fatially Burned.
Last eveulng the 2-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Hawkins was play-
ig in the siting room with a
whisk broom. Tlie child's grand
mother went out of the room for a
moment, but was quickly recalled by
the screams of the other children. It
was found that the boy had stuck
the whisk broom into the stove and
had set it no fire and had also ignited
his clothing, so that he was euveloped
in flames. The fire was quickly ex
tinguished, wheu It was found that
the child's face, body Hud arms were
frightfully burned. Dr. J. P. Wallace
was called and did all he could to re
lieve the child's suffering, which was
intense. It was feared he had iuhaled
some of the flames, and the physician
thought the burns were of themselves
so severe that tlie ehild could uot re
cover. Herald.
A Pleasant Evening
One of the most pleasant events of

OYSTERS UP TO DATE.
Tha Very Latest Fad Is for
' Bleached Bivalves.
Wlitts Onl Are iTnlwlilr Doctored Ots
tMnn Who Onf:)it to Know Say Thoy
Are Mythloftl foitore'i Own Shell
fish Not to Be Improved Upon.
"Bleached oysters" Is the latest and
a rapidly growing fad. The fashionable
uptown restaurants are catering to it.
An oyster that docs not peer forth
snowy white from thednpthof itS'Shdl
is considered bad form. It does not
appear that the Aibino-hucd bivalve
is improved by the blanching process.
In fact, it is held by all fair-minded
people who have tried them that the
flavor which gives our oysters their
superiority over all the bivalves of tho
world is destroyed entirely. But they
are said by self-constituted anthori
tites to look better, and it is the
fashion to have them served that war.
The course of treatment to which
the luscious shellfish is subjected to
bringa about the pale and ghostly hue
i s the secret of the restaurant men.
The wholesale oyster dealers know
.inthing about it.
A reporter for the New York World
went aboard a floating warehouse, on
the North river, the other day, and
made an inquiry as to the best method
of blanching oysters. It wasapparent
that oystermcn do not relish the news
paper notoriety which has been thrust
upon the innocent and inoffensive
lihcllfish.
"If f could meet the man who start
ed all this talk about typhoid fever and
malaria in oysters," said one old salt,
'I'd chuck him in the bay and hit him
on the head with a boathook when he
came up the first time, and there
wouldn't be no second time.
"As if it ain't bad enough that this
has been one of the worst oyster years
we ever had, but on top of that some
crazy fool up in Connecticut tries to
fatten his oysters in a creek into which
a sewer empties. What's the result? A
lot of college students and professors
get sick and four of them die. What
follows? The newspapers publish it
all over the country, typhoid fever in
oysters, and the business is almost par
alyzed in some places. Forty million
people eating oysters and four of them
.Tet sick and die! How many people
die very day from eating pork and
beef, -yet does that scare anybody?
No, sir.
"Now, on top of all this, some fool
restaurant men go to making their
y:iters white, which God never intend
i they should be, or He would have
made 'em so. I don't suppose that the
oysters were hurt any by it, but some
fellow gets sick, after knocking about
the Tenderloin all night, and remem
bers that he ate a dozen bleached oy
sters, and then he hollers that he has
been poisoned.
"Some one writes to a newspaper
thrft! sulphate of zinc will bleach an
oyster. I don't know whether it will
or not, but a chemist told' me that it
wopld noti-.But the oyster trafle gets
it hi the neck all the same. Thank
goodneSB tnai mese stories uid not fret
out two months ago. or the oystermen
would all be in the hands of the asso
ciated charities. Our season is over for
cheap oysters, in which the money ir,
mude. Nothing goes out of New York
now but shell oysters, New Yorlr
counts, and culls. The oyster Imsineu.
after the middle of November goes to
Daltiinore. There are no oyster can
neries in New York.
"This fad for white oysters I never
heard of before this year. There are
no pure white oysters. The oyster
U:kes his color from his surroundirijrs
aud an old oysterman can tell ut a
giunce which one of the beds here;1,
bouts an oyster comes from. The Uluc
Point is often silvery in appearance.
There is no way that I know of to make
an oyster white.
"When the weather is not too cold
oysters, after being taken up, are sunk
on floats for from, twelve to t-.vcuty-four
hours in brackish water, jfnerally
near the mouth of a fresh-water creek.
This water they will drink freely cud
fill up so that they look fat. This has
the effect of washing out the sea water
and mud that mav have been taken in.
1 know every oyster bed in New York
bay, Long Island sound, or the rivers
of New Jersey, and I know of no oyster
that is what you might call white.
Personally, I would let such alone if
offered me.
"Nature cannot be improved upon in
the matter of the oyster, except to give
it a chance to wash out and futten up
on some half-salt water. Wheu tho
people understand that the bleached
oysters are unnatural and artiiicial
they will become suspicious of them
and be satisfied with the plain, un
bleached variety."
The Soko Ape.
Letters from the African traveler.
Oscar Neumann, at Bukoba, says the
I .ondon News, contains many interest
ing things that Neumann learnt from
the Manyemas. One is that the Boko
ape is very common and much feared
i;i Manyameland, between Nyangwe
(jid the northern shore of the 'fang
i. jyika. Some time ago un Arab
wanted to take a Soko which he had
captured to the coast. He succeeded
in reaching Ugogo with his prize.
There he died, und his sons, who
attributed the death of their father
to the enehantments of the wicked
wood demon, hustened to retransport
tholt .upposed origin of their misfortune
to i'ts native place, aud the interesting
specimen was thus lost to science.

Stowe in Jail.
Last Friday evening, Mr. Heurn, of
Sweet Home, came into Lebanon and
swore out a warreul before Justice
Lovelee for the arrest of Attorney A.
F. Stowe. Constable Morgan proceeded
to Albany to arrest Stowe; but, on ar
riving there, found that be had gone
to Salem. Morgan followed him there,
made the arrest, brought him back to
Albany on Sunday, and out here Mon
day morning.
When Mr. Stowe was brought before
Justice Lovelee, he waived examina
tion and was bound over to appear be
fore the grand jury iu 500 bonds. In
default of which he is now in the
county jail.
Facts in the case are about these: Mr.
Hearn placed a Rote in Stowe's bands
for collection. ' Stowe collected the
note, $140, and instead of turning tbe
money over to Mr. Hearn, as he should
have done, got ou a spree and spent it.
Although Mr. Hearn waited two
weeks on Mr. Stowe, he could not re
place the money.
Mr. Stowe arrived in this city four
years ago this last fail and commenced
J rr.. t4'
ine praeiice oi law. xiu is u uiuu ui
some ability and makes friends when
sober. He has drank more or less
ever since he has been in this jity.
He has reformed several times since lie
has been here, once taking tbe Keeley
cure, on-w joining tue , Stettioaesi
church and again professing reiegion
at the Presbyterian church. He has
an estimable wife and two bright chil
dren. His wife has been forced to
leaye him several times. The lust time
was in the fall, wheu she applied for
a divorce.
If reports are true, thisls not the first
time Mr. Stowe has misauppropriated
his clieut's money. If some one does
not go to his relief, he will more than
proberably get a few years to repent in,
at Salem. The people of Lebanon have
been exceedingly kind to Mr. Stowe
and have aided him in eveiy way to
reform and make a successful man of
himself, but these efforts have not been
appreciated by him,

Deafness Cannot b Cured
by local applications, as tliay oannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafnsis, and that It
by constitutional remedies, Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tub.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
ninecaseaoutof ten are caused by catarrah.
Which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surlacet.
..We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that oannot be curt1 by Hall's Catarrah
Cure. Send for circui rs, free.
