The statement has been printed that
Mrs. Haunah, now confined in the

Lamb, of Clackamas county. One
morning lu 1857 she got her husbaud
his breakfast, and when he sat down
to partake of it she slipped out tn the
woodpile, secured the ax, and, coming
up behind him, split his bead open.
She was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life, and, it Is said, died there.
The penitentiary gates opened Mon

len Jordan, the well knowu culprits
who have terrorized the residents of
the Willamette valley for several years
past, says the Salem Statesman. They
came from Polk county and will be
wearers of the stripes for Ave and four
and a half years respectively. A few
mouths ago tbey committed highway
robbery by holding up a pig-tailed
Celestial on one of the roads of Polk
county. Allen's sentence was made
lighter by reason of bis having plead
guilty to the charge after his brother
was convicted. Another one from
Polk county was Jim Conlee, who not
long since stole a lot of bacon from bis
neighbor. For this he was tried, con
victed and sentenced to two years aud
a half by J udge Burnett. Edward S,
Stneltzer was brought over from
Washington county on a four years'
committment for burglary. John Do
man was given his freedom, as hie
two years' term for forgery, committed
in Marion county, had expired.
Thomas Kay, the Salem woolen
mill man, is a deacon of the First
Baptist church and the story told dn
him at the meeting to raise the sub
sidy the other night must be apocry
phal. But it runs like this: He had
taken a lot of Salem Woolen M.IU
samples into a San Francisco whole
sale store and the buyers thought they
would have a little sport guyirg the
otherwise good natured but red-beaded

The Southern Pacific made another
important move in its fight against
the Oregon Railway A Navigation
company between Albany and Port
land Monday. The tariff from here tn

per 100 founds for the first four classes
of freight, aud ten cents for the re
maining six classes, From Portland

hundred.
It has beeen stated that the Southern
Pacific officials will soon take the
passenger coach off the Lebauon
branch aud put on a caboose in order
to cut down expenses, us pussenger
coaches are charged milage, while the
cabooses are not. If our citizens don't
want to ride in a caboose every time
tbey go to Albany, now is the time to
kick, and commence circulating a peti
tion to the contrary. It Is bad enough
the way it has been without making it
worse.

the threads all out and showed tbey

colors were not fast and he demon
strated they were solid colore. Then
they said tht Oregon could not grow
wool and the Salem Woolen Mill
could not make cloth. Thomas Kay
pulled off bis coat, rolled up bis sleeves
aud began to execute a war dance on
the floor, saying: "Gentlemen. I don't
think I can demonstrate to your un
derstanding what h'is woolen goods
but I can lick every man in this 'ouse

What is the matter with Waterloo?
Waterloo is O. K., but it lacks Parker.
Speaking of the state maters, whut
has become of "Granny Sundown"
and the great horde of aspirants for
literary honors in days since past? If
they are not defunct Grnver's message
will finish them.
We understand Mr. Millard, the
road "boss" has not only summer fal
lowed the road between here and
"Soda" but has also been working ex
tra time trying to drain a few neigh
bors' farms into the highway. The
only reason we can give for his gentle
manly talk and actions Is that he Is
trying to stop Sodavilllaus from coin
ing to Waterloo to buy Chicago goods.
A little more gravel and not so much
"chin" Is what the roads need. Next,
We are reliably Informed that a
certain gent has not been looking af
ter the widow aud fatherless in the
true spirit. We will Investigate IIiIb
matter and if the report is verified it
is our Intention to devote one-half of
our allotted space to adjectives befit-'
tiug tile occasion and circulate a paper
asking that worthy to withdraw from
society and dwell with his kind the
swine.
There may and may not he a Christ

any who have been living so far back
you don't know what a pole of that
kind is you are excusable, but those
have taken part in Christmas exer
cises and are verged In that way, if
you are human you will assist in mak
ing the holidays pleasant for the
children. If you desire to stund back,
amen. We will not know bow cute
you are aud as Joaluh Allen remarks,
we will consider you "Dumb Idiots."
