The entertainment at '.he Academy
en last Saturday evening, though not
very largely attended, was a most en
joyable aflalr. Miss VandeTsal as an
elocutionist Is one of the best we have
ever had the pleasure to listen to, and
those who did not hear her nursed a
treat. The program throughout was
good, as was shown by the hearty ap
plause which greeted every perform
ance, several being enthustlcully en
cored. The music department of tbe
Academy Is to tie complimented lor
the good music, both vocal and Instru
mental, ret dered on this occasion. We
hope the time is not far distant when
the people of Lebanon will more justly
appreciate good talent be it "home"
or from abroad.

Mr. A. F. Stowo Again,.
This widely known gentleman re
turned to Lebanon l ist Monday even
ing thoroughly ginned up and loaded
for "bar," with bl x;d In his eye. Ho
lauded at one of ou r i .lionus, demanded
r.i.uUwkltikoit-tick, but was very properly
refused. Ho thereupon pulled a well
tilled flask out of his pocket, and took
along drink. Having worn out his
welcome at this respectable saloon, he
made a sig-'-ag lino for the street,
breathing threats of vengence on the
town in general, tint particularly
against tile kind friends who had gone
his bonds some days previous, and
against the constable. He brought up
at tbe hotel, but found no congenial
companionship there. He flnaly as
saulted the constable and was arrested,
but began his assault anew and was
pretty badly bruised. He was lodged
in Hie city jail borrowed for his
especial accommodation, by tbe con
stable from himself the marshal the
doubled named terror to evil doers.
He was brought before Justic Love
lee, on Tuesday on a charge for assault,
pleaded guilty and was fined (40 and
sent to juil for not paying the same.
The unanimous wih of 'the good
people of Lebanon is that tbis unfortu
nate inebriate give this city a wide
berth hereafter.
Jumped to His Death.
The remains of James Tucker, who
died in the forks of the Santiam, were
brought to Albany Sunday. He was
killed on the railroad track near Bar
low. He had beeu to Portland and
was returning home. He had only
a few dollars in his pocket, and bad
been riding on a freight, train. He
was knocked off of the Molalia bridge
near Barlow.
Another account says that Tucker
and E. H. Osburue were beating their
way on a freight train' and when the
train stopped at Barlow, the cur upon
w hich they were riding, stood on the
Molalia railioad bridge, about fifty
feet above the ground. Fearing they
would be detected by the traiu men
and ordered offtbecar, they jumped
off, unaware of the distance to the
ground. Osburue was lucky enough
to maintain his feet, but Tucker fell
headlong to the ground, frightfully
n angling his hotly on the rocks below.
Tucker was fifty-two yeara of age, and
leavesa wife aud five children, resid
ing six miles eastf Lebanon, where
he has beeu employed as a farm band.

The social given last Tuesday even
ing by tbe Ladies Aid g.icieiy, In Mrs.
Miller's hall, tiiougu not largely at
tended, was a unique affair. The
collection of pictures in that family
album was the most enjoyable and
laughable feature of the evening, but
we have come to the conclusion that
no picture of ours shall remain behind
us In Lebanon. Wiiat would those
good people huve said if they were
all present, and have beard those re-
marts? .The whole program wus well
rendered and very entertaining. A
nice lunch was served to all, after
which the remainder of the evening
waseient in an old fashioned 8ielling
mi cth. Profs. Wilkes aud Marks were
the captains, mid chose up sides, tak
ing anyone in the house who was will
ing to spell with them, while the Rev.
Molloy acted as the teacher. Prof.
Mark'sside came out victorious, with
Miss Myrtle Carson spelling the op
ponent down. All went home feeling
well pleased with t lie evening's enter
tainment.

At Tallman, Linn county, Oregon,
Marou J8, 1805, Mr Lillian May
Smith, beloved wife of Jesse D. Smith
and daughter of George E. and Zldaua
A Hardy, Bom in Weyauwga Wau
paca county, Wlaconson.
In her short life of twenty-three
years Mrs. Smith eudeared herself to
all with whom she whs acquainted.
Her life from childhood until her
marriage was passed In Lebanon at
the home of her peranta. Her love-
able and obliging disposition made her
a great favorite among the young peo
ple of our city, who on the day of the
funeral evinced their respect and ten
derness for their young friend and
former companion, by their tributes of
beautiful flowers aud their attendance
in large numbers at the cemetery.
Mrs. Smith was for some yeara be
fore her marriage operator in the Pa
cific Postal Telegraph office In this
city. . The business men of Lebanon,
among whom was the writer, remem
ber well the bright winsome May
Hardy, whoso promptly and correctly
handed the messages entrusted to ber
care. Their presence ut her funeral
was noticeable as a testimonial of the
isteeui in which she was held by them.
Mrs. Smith leaves behind a sorrow,
iug husband aud one child, a daugh
ter, aged two years; her father and
mother, at also a brother and sister,
surttive her. The sympathy of the
people of Tallman and Lebanon go
out to these sorrowing oues.
The funeral services were conducted
at the family residence by Rev. Silas
Williams of the old Baptist church,
and at tbe Masonic cemetery, when
she was buried on Monday, March 18,
by Rev. D. T. Summerville of tbe M.
E. church, whose words of tender
christian love and sympatb were
deeply affecting to the large concourse
of people present.
"Her life was beautiful, and the end
thereof was peace."

EVERY PAIR
LEBANON,
REPLY-.
Sodaville, Or., Tuesday March 10,
Editor Exprkss: Allow me space
in your paper to reply to a few urticles
which have recently appeared in your
paper, as items from this place, mid
signed Rex. Iu order to do so I must
briefly review some of the, Incidents
which have occurred during the past
eight or nine mouths. We invite the
attention of your readers to the social
condition of our town and vicinity one
year ago, and they would find peace
and harmony prevailed and good will
to all men.
About that time there came to our
town a so called minister of the gospel,
(but whether this be true or nut we
will leave U. tbe great judge of the
world) and for a time occupied the
pulpit at tills place. It was about this
time that an attempt was made
against a poor old widow lady to
her out uf her mortgage which she
held against the C. P. Church at this
place. This charge upon tbe rights of
this old lady was made by a set of
brave, courageous itud daring set of
chicken fed set of preachers, witli this
so called preacher and elders of this
place as leaders, but were defeated in
tills attempt by the old lady and her
friends who came to her assistance.
Aroused to fury by this defeat, they
next attached the bell belonging to
said building, removed it from the
same and conveyed it to the Seminary
as property of their own, For which
they paid a damage fee of $50 and
part of the cost, and yet they suy
they are right, but tf they were ri; I it
why did tbev notttand a trlul: "oh
consistency thou jt a Jewel." We
next And them pursuing their efforts,
iu an attack on the Public School,
which caused the directors to open
their eves aud when the deceivers
closed tbelr hands (as they supposed
upon the $700) there was nothing ut
leaves. Aroused now to desperation
by their former defeats their last and
only chance lay in electing a director
to serve with the one they now have
theu all would be well. But iu this
they were defeated worse than ever
before,
The wise men, as they call them,
elected their cubs 67 to 11 only 4(1
majority. This was a death dealing
blow and they saw at once that they
could no longer hoodwink the people,
they bad had enough of such work.
They now turn upon Individuals to
belch forth volutnns of Insults and
slanderous allegations, which occurred
iu the different papers of the county.
One which occurred in the Albany
Herald of March 18 In whieli the
proceedings of the school meeting is
inscribed in a slanderous way. The
person who wrote that article was
Read
ashamed to sign even a fictitious name

.over all of that, but the lullcr part in
which he apjakf of the ladies and
their black calico bonnet's. "K'uV tC""
to the best of my remembrauce there
was but one who wore a bonnet, and
she an old lady standing upon the
very brink of the grave waiting for
God to cali her to come up higher, aud
whose will she endeavors to obey and
is a member of the C. P. Church.
Now for a man claiming to be a
gentleman and will ask to be recog
nized as such, is an imposition upon
society. For such a man is lower than
the brutes, and should take his first
lessons trom such a source.
Now another article which occurred
in tbe Lkhanox Ext'HEdg and signed
Ilex In which ho says;
"A blacksmith wanted here.one who
has capital enough to keep on hand
at least three or four sets of shoes and
honor enough to pay his debts "
As I here is but one blacksmith hero
it Is easy to ascertain Jor whom It is
tueut. Now Mr, Rex if I owe you
anything, ask for it like n man, but
us you mo now doing you are acting
the part of a coward and a villain,
hiding yourself behimi a fictitious
name you think vou can abuse and
insult as you choose, and you may for
a while couceal your identity from
the world, but your deeds (which
eminate from the darker regions of
perdition) will flnnly unvnil you to
the world in your true character; a
villian of tin: durlasl dye, who.tevcrv
presences Impregnate with evil, and
you slum Id bo bunislied from society,
and ouiy allowed to run with the
coyote, for your sneaking cowaidly
disposition well qualified you for that
position. Now Mr. Rex I will leave
you and ahnuld you still continue your
evil work sign your mime, you
villain. But I prefer to meet you
face to face and lain like a man.
