Wiley thought that we did him an Injustice lust week by printing the Bweet Home correspondence. He showed us a recommendation from the Bweet Home board iu which they recommended him very highly both as a teacher and a gentleman. He in formed us that neither he nor Prof. Bigbee had applied for, or wanted the school at that place.

Al bany Democrat. The entertainment and musical con cert given by the Lebanon Firemen's Band, Tuesday night, was attended by a large crowd. The music waa superb, and showed that the member of tbe band had taken great palna to fulfill the greatest expectations of those pres entand they succeeded. Two short farces gave variety to the program, and during the acting of these the audience showed their appreciation by much laughter at the comical charac ters so well represented by the actors. The hand boys are good actors and good musician. The Lebanon Fire men's Band "is all right" and no mis take. During tile evening C. B. Mon tague made a short speech, which was listened to attentively by the audience -as his speeches always are, A landslide in a ravine of the Port laud Heights, last Saturday, crushed to deatli Daniel Campbell, age 42, and Isabel McDonald, age 16. The house they were iu, which waa the home of Donald 8. McDonald and family, was swept out of existence, and the other members of the family narrowly es escaped with their lives. Hundreds of tons of earth swept down the ra vine, and hardly before one coald re allze what had come to pass, an ugly looking mass of mud, rocks, brush and trees marked the place where but a minute previous waa the home of a happy family. The cause of the land slide was that last year when the Montgomery-street boulevard waa be ing improved, a large quantity of refuse dirt was dumped in this ravine. This was fully secured, as thought, by a bulkhead, but a hidden spring of water undermined tbe mass of dirt and the bulkhead gave way. There have been other landslides in that locality, being of yearly occurrence. WATERLOO TRUTH. BY M'OINTV'S QHOST. The Sunday school has bought an organ. F.

A certain enterprising hack-man from' a neigh boring village, we understand, in formed his passenger there was no way of leaving Waterloo unless his "carry all" came after him. The Durrant Case. A dispatch from Han Francisco, dat ed March 9, reads as follows: 'On April 8 next a year will have passed since the murder of Blanche Laiuout, and yet Theodore Durrant, who was convicted of her murder last November, is still in the county jail waiting the action of the state supreme court lu the oase. It will be remem bered that immediately after Durrani's conviction an appeal was taken, but the case has not been presented to the supreme court, owing to requests for additional time made by both sides. The last postponement took place a week ago when the proaeoution was granted 20 days iu which to file a bill of exceptions. At the end of this time it Is believed the cise will be presented to the supreme court, but a decision is not expected for several months," Dissolution Notice, Notice is hereby given that the co- partuersiiip nereiorore existing Be tween J.

A decision has been rendered In the case of tbe title to the large tract of land In North Brownsville, upon which Andrew J. Monk filed a claim two or three years a.je. By an act of congress Jan. 18, 18)5, the title to it waa quieted and established in O, P, Coshow and others. When Mr. Co show made an application at Oregon City his money was refused and the papers sent to Washington. Now the decision has been sent to the olllce In Oregon City In favor of Mr. Coshow and those he represents. Anything else would have been an outrage. The decision is that the railroad company acquired no right to tiie laud because, at tho time of filing the map of definite location of the railway, the land was withdrawn by the pre-emption' of Richard Benjamin, and It did not matter so far as the rights of the company were concerned, whether Benjamin ever completed title or not, Then, as adverse rights were not in terfered with by the law ot 1895, and Monk maintained adverse rights be fore thi passage of the law, It is held that the purchase of the land under the provisions of that act cannot be permitted. As to tho allegations that it was town prnpertv at the lime of Monk's entry, and that Monk had not complied with the law as to residence, the local land office is instructed to order a hearing. It is necessary that the records be cleared of Monk's entry before the application of Coshow can be accepted. As to lots 3, 4, S and 6, it is held that the recoid does not show any claim to this at the time of the railroad's selection that would exempt them from the grant of the company. Democrat. Note and Comment. A Boston genius has contrived an odd advertising arrangement, which be hopes to have applied to steamboat whistles. It is a miniature calliope, and instead of a tune It will slug nut boldly, "Stop at the Cliff House," as the boat nears the wharf. Already a test has been made and its accents may be plaiuly heard. Tbe questionable Innovation in the form of the sacred scriptures by the Issuance of the Woman's Bible fur nished a Connecticut genius with an idea. He got out an illustrated edition of the bible and made all the angels to appear with black skins and kinky hair, took the whole edition South, where be is retailing them to the col ored people at eight dollars each. The original cost was about, one dollar each. An enterprising London tradesman undertook to advertise by telegraph the other day, and sent to several thousand prominent ladies a dispatch to the effect that a g reat sale was iu progress. The ladies have been accus tomed to looking at telegrams as mat ters of importance, and they were one and all annoyed. When the merchant got through apologizing to indignant husbands, big brothers and audi, and had paid for the insertion of not a few abject apologies in the newspapers, he had made up his mind that newspaper advertisements were the best after aU.
