Fatal Accident at Foster.
Word came to this city Wednesday
morn lug that a fatal accident occurred
at Foster, about 12 o'clock Tuesday, In
which Mr. Al Wodtli lost his life.
It seems that Mr. Wodtli, who has
been working iu his father's mill at
Foster, was out in the timber doing
some work, when someone came to the
mill to get some grist ground. Mt.
Wodtli started to (lie house after the
key to the mill, when he discovered
that the house was on fire.
The books belouging to the mill
were up stairs, and Mr Wodtli, not
heeding the impending danger, rushed
qp stairs after the books, but he neyer
returned the flames did their deadly
work, and the dead hody of the uu
fortunate man was not recovered until
after the flumes bad Bubcided.
It was certainly a very sad accident,
and the bereaved relatives and friends
of the deceased have the sympathy of
the entire community.
His sister, who lives in Albany, was
telegraphed for and came out ou the
train Wednesday morning.
Church Notes.
Rev. Lindsey commenced a scries of
meetings In the Baptist church, on
Tuesday evening of laet week. Large
crowds have been attending each
night, and the interest seems to be
growing with each meeting.
There were union services in the
Methodist church Sunday evening.
The church was crowded to its utmost
capacity. Rev. Liudsey preached an
able and eloquent sernaou, and held
tlie close attention of the vast audience
for an hour. These meetings will
surely be productive of much good.
Rev. McKinley preached Interesting
sermons in the Presbyterian church
Suuday morning and evening. He
will also preach next Sunday morning
and evening, to which services all are
Invited to attend.
Rev. I. F. Tobey, superintendent of
the Oregon Children's Home society,
of Portland, preached in the Methodist
church Sunday morning. He also rec
ommended the Home society to the
congregation. This is a worthy cause
and the people should render it all aid
possible.
Christmas in Lebanon.
Christmas will not be very elabo
rately observed in Lebanon, but the
churches will try and make glad the
hearts of the children by giving them
little Christmas entertainments.
At the Presbyterian church there
will be an old-fashioned fireplace, with
Hauta Clau8 to oome down the chim
ney. This Is exclusively for the chil
dren. The Methodist church will give the
Sunday school children an entertain
ment and supper on Christmas til ht,
We hope the churches and charita
ble institutions of our city will see that
no one suffers on that day for the
necessaries of life, and If any are sick
unci in distress, their suflerlngs should
be alleviated.

TENNESSEE HAPPENINGS.
Literary society election next Satur
day night.
The literary society's entertainment
will take place Saturday evening, Jan.
2, '97.
C, D. McKnight has moved to Ten.
nessee, after an absence of over a year.
He will be a great help to the neigh
borhood. He was nominated for
president of the literary society the
very evening of his arrival.
Last Saturday evening the literary
society's meeting was devoted to cam
paign speaking, which shows that
Tennessee, if needed, could come to
the rescue of some great party . Next
Saturday will be election, which will
be held In the regular form of a politi
cal election, using the Australian bal
lot, Farewell. The f ditor of the Ex
press has forbiddeu further warfare
between Stayer and myself; Stayer has
surrendered, and as "a brave man
never strikes a fallen foe," I will make
but a closing Balute to all parties con
cerned. Stayer has stood the test well.
I admire his stamina and grit, al
though it availetb nothing. As all
know, I am not far advanced in years,
and Stayer knowing tills fact, supposed
he would have an easy prey of me, but
probably he has an idea of my staying
qualities by this time. My dear read,
ere, I hope you will re-consider all
letters written by Stayer and myself,
and judge therefrom. Following the
advice of the editor, this will be the
last word mentioned by me iu this
paper of Mr. Stayer.
