The pig-roast at the Gem saloon was a rare feast tor the hoys, and was en joyed In an orderly manner. Let the proprietors Insist that their patrons respect the city ordinances and the good name of the saloon. A man who has so little respect for the house as to raise a row in the rooms should be put out at once. In ttiis way, the good name of the house will tie protected and drunken rows will be less fre quent. William McKinnon, whose death was caused by a fall from his barn on Thursday of last week, at his home on Canyon creek, was a well known pio neer of this county. Every man who has traveled on the road across the mountains to Prlneville, has known MeKinnon. He kept a hotel on the route and always furnished good ac commodations. He will lie missed by tile travellug public. Our sympathies are wilh the widow and children. The Christmas trees at the Metho dist, Cutnlierlaiid Presbyterian and First Presbyterian churches were nil well attended. The programme at each church was Bhort but very inter esting and appropriate. The trees were all Iwauiifiilly decorated and were well loaded with presents. One thing was noticeable the absence of cosily presents on all the trees this year, we presume on account of the hard times; hut all of the little ones were remembered and made happy by Borne present. Ed. Lyons, the well-known O. C. & E, seel ion bona, was at work along the side of the road neur Pioneer, yester day, wr.eu u large quantity of reck and dirt fell upon him from an embank ment, crushing him beneath it. His fellow workmen took him out and everything wae done possible for the injured mail. He was finally placed In a speeiSl car and brought to Albauv for treatment but died before reaching the city. Mr. Lyon has been section toreuian for ten or. twelve years, and was a faithful, industrious employe, The deceased was a member cf the Catholic church. Services were held at the church in this city at 10 o'clock to-day, and the remains were then burled lu the city cemetery. The de ceased was about 45 years of age, was unmarried and had no relatives here. Albany Democrat, Dec. 24. T. C. Peebler, now living on the Walton ranch, had a rough experience last week, which came near proving fatal. Mr. Peebler has been putting In liis lime through the winter mouths trapping, and in making his rounds last week, ou ills return home and wheu within a mile of the house, he was taken violently 111 and was un able to get to the house aud had to lie dowu lu the snow, where he remained all night, but the next day about 10 o'clock he was able lo reach his home, after being out, for 27 hours, During the time lie was lying in the snow his faithful dog remained by his side and would continually scratch at him or lick him, aud it is (bought that by the dog's efforts he was kept from freezing lo death, although his feet and hands were frozen. His wife was all alone and could not go out to search for him. The snow nils about 15 inches deep. The Wilbur, (Wash.,) Register, says: "On Sunday evening, Cllffi rd Beattie, the 11-year-old sou of Rev. J. H. Beat tie, wiib thrown from a curt and received injuries which oatue near proving fatal. Mr. Beattie had Just re turned home from nil appointment in the country, aud the boy asked bis futlisM ntrUillsloii lu drls the horn around to the livery stable, which was granted. He had no more than be come seated In the curt than the horse began to run und kick. Clifford was thrown out on the rocks and fell on his head and shoulders. He was picked up for dead and carried to his home, just across the street from where he was thrown out, and Dr. Kelly called. It Was found that be had sus tained several severe cuts and bruises about til head and chest. The nose was mashed flat and several of the up per teeth knocked out. He also re ceived Internal Injuries. The doctor reports that he Is now out of danger and will recover with but a slight de formity of the nose and the loss of the teeth. About 10 o'clock Saturday forenoon Mrs. Hill, wife of Dr. J. L. Hill, of Al bany, was stricken very suddenly with apoplexy, resulting from the bursting of a blood vessel In her head from the strain of a sudden and violent sickness, while on the porch at the "rear of the house, and died in a very few minutes. Mrs. Hill was a woman most highly respected by all who knew her, and her loss will be deeply felt in the com munity. Her maiden name was Mary E, Pennington, and she was the Mainrhtar nf Mnn U f Panninnlni, r, . lion, Dec. 11, 1850, residing here from her birth. In 1870 she was united In marriage to Dr. J. L. Hill. Three children have blessed the union and survive, Dr. Clyde Hill, of Milton, and Gail and Emily, of Albany. Mrs. Hill was a woman of high character, esteemed for many excellent qualities. Khe was a member of the Baptist Church, the Kathbone Sisters, K. of V, Degree of Honor, A. O. U. W., and Maccabees, Diptheria. There are now five cases of diptheria. Two children have alicady died with it, and one other is expected to die. We do not wish to alarm or excite our people, but we would not do our duty if we did not warn them to use every precaution. Let parents keep their children closely at home. Make liberal use of disinfectants aliout the prem ises. Do not attend public gatherings. With proper precaution, the dread dis ease can be stumped out. The council should prohibit all public gatherings. Churches and schools should be closed . A strict quarantine is necessary. This is a matter of life and death to our chil dren. The public safety demands un usual measures aud the public will support the council. The doctors agree that the disease can be checked readily now with proper care, but that neg lect may cause it to spread. : A Talented Theatrical Troupe, The people of this city and vicinity were especially favored this week by the appearance, ut the opera house, of the Weber Dramatic company, who have played three nights here. They had large audiences, as it was meet they should, this company being the best one that has ever been in our city. We do not believe there Is a single person who witnessed the perform ances that speaks an unfavorable word for the ladies and gentlemen (for ladies aud gentlemen they are in the fullest sense of the word) of the troupe; aud praises for their splendid acting are heard ou all sides. Their plays are all written for the Weber Dramatic company alone, aud therefore all may be assured that every one of the plays will be one they have never seen before. Their band furnishes superb music. In fact, too many kind words cannot be said lor this company. Mr Fred Moore, press representative, is to be highly commended for his courteous treatment of all newspaper men. Legal Holidays. Not very much attention Is paid to legal holidays lu Oregon; but a know! edge ou the subject will do no harm. Here Is a list from the statute itself: "The following days shall lie and hereby are declared legal holidays in this state, viz: Every Sunday, the first day of January, the 22nd day of February, the 80th day of May, the 4th day of July, the 2oth day of De cember, aud every day on which un election is held throughout the state, and every day appointed by the presi dent of the United States, or by the governor of this state for a public fast, or tliauksgiving or holiday. Negotiable instruments payable ou a holiday be come due ou (lie next business day." Then on February 21, 1887, a section was added to the statute which added Labor day: "The first Saturday of June of each and every year shall be and the same Is hereby set apart and declared to be a public holiday, under the name aud title of labor day." Jewell Simpson, the 12 ;'earold son of Mr. Mrs. W. L. Simpson, died last Sunday night with the dreadful disease diptheria. Boyd Simpson, their young est child, six years old, died this morn. ing just before six o'clock with the same disease. Howard, their second youngest child, has also got the dip theria in a malignant form. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson have the heart-felt sym pathy of the entire community in this their lad tnreavetliebt.

LEBANON, Garden on Board a Ship. Most people have beard of the han g- inggardena of Babylon, the modern roof gardens, and the gardens ou float ing Islands in which vegetables used to be grown for the citizens of ancient Mexico; but probably few have beard of a garden ou board ashlp, with farm yard attachment. The splendid ship Mnwhan, now In port, and the largest vessel which has ever been here, had such an arrangement on board during her trip lo Oregon. On leaving Bel fast for Portland, she took on board as ballast 2000 tons of Irish soil, which, when leveled off, made quite s stretch of ground, and, as the soil of Iteland Is proverbially fertile, the ship's compa ny proceeded to put it to good use by planting a stock of garden truck in it cabbages, leeks, turnips, radishes, lettuce, peas, beans, etc. The seeds came up all right, and the plants flour ished finely, and, when the ship was in the tropics, grew with great rapid ity. As they progressed toward the Horn, and the weather grew cooler, things came to perfection rapidly. The crew and ship's apprentices Amused them selves by weedlug and cultivating the plants, and the captain and officers took regular walks In the gardeu daily, and all had green vegetables to their hearts' content. As they came around the Horn, the garden win re-planted, and by the time they reached the equa tor everything was a-blooni and all hands feasted ou fresh vegetables daily. The only drawbacks to the gardeu were the weedB, which grey so rapidly that they could hardly bo kept dowu, and the drove of pigs, which were kept In the farmyard attachment, and which, on several occasions, when the ship was bucking Into a nor'easter and roll ing heavily, broke out of the bouuda and made serious inroads on the gar den. It is a serious mutter to call all hands on board ship, and is only done in emergencies; but, wheu the pigs got Into the gardeu there was more pound ing op forecastle scuttles with hand spikes and blowing of boatswain's whistles than If the ship had been laid aback by a typhoon or all the masts had been carried away, and every sleeper was aroused to help get the pigs out of the garden. The last pig was killed and served up with green vegetables just before the Mowban entered the Columbia. On the arrival of the Mow ban here, the Irish soil was discharged on the elevator company's dook and piled up neatly so that any exiled patriot who desires a bit of the "ould sod" can be accommodated. The pile will doubt less be covered with thamrocks In the spring, and will furnish boutonnieres for a wboii Bt. fattleVi day pro- Goods OREGON. cession. Doubtless many a bach of It will be carried off to fill flower-pots, etc. Although It conies from the "black north," it is still the real "ould sod." Oregouian. The President's Action Approved. At a mass meeting of the citizens of Lebanon and vicinity, held in the cltv hall Saturday evening, Dec, 21, 1895, called for the purpose of taking Into consideration the president's niessara of Deo. 17,1895, in reference to the Veue- ZOPlR nilPRt.inn tkA thn a.Hnn nf nn . gress thereon, Hon.
