vu. -imjtH fc-n OVER THE GAPITAL CITY. Complete Recital of the Day's Deeds (YoanR Stalwarts Diphtheria Peak Again Land of Plenty. A Successful Teacher's Instltnte. A toachet's institute was held. at Wooilburn, Saturday, which was attended by Superintendent Yoder, many of the teachers from the sur. rounding country and the residents of the place. They were amply re paid for their time by hearing sub jects discussed which are being taught to their children. The meet ing was called to order at 10 a. m. with Supt. Yoder in the chair. A chorus was sung by the Woodburn choir. Miss Lizzie Caples was chos en secretary; Prof. A. B. Childers vice-president. The method of teaching arithmetic was discussed and many short and practical meth ods were brought to light by Prof. Anderson of Silvertoii. During the afternoon the methods, of teaching language, spelling and order were discussed by Messers Leatherman, Anderson, Childers and Graham, showing by their clear and concise remarks that they are not novices ! in the art of teaching. The next meeting is to be held' at Gervals De5. 1st, when Prof. (Jhild- ers will discuss elementary geog raphy, followed by Prof. Eagon on reading. Every one is cordially In vited, to attend. Spare a few hours to see how the rising generation is oeing instructed, bet us encourage all mcectings which have for their object the advancement of educa tion. Let us be ever willing to show, if only by our presence, our approuanon ot teacners institutes, Coming in Kaplrtly. Every day many new comers ar- rivo in our city and locate either in town or on farms near the city. Yes terday a business man of this city, who knows nearly every resident of the county, remarked that wc did not appreciate how rapidly our coun try was being settled, and illustrated his remarkby citing tho number of total strangers who passed by while talking. At his request we took notice, the first four persons were Kansas men. then came a Salem lady, two eastern men, thrco Salem men, etc. In tho twenty minutes, of those who passed, three-fifths were new-comers. Two City Elections. Yesterday was city election at Dallas, with results as follews: T. B. Rowell was elected marshal, Nat Holman recorder, J. W. "Williams, Thos. Hayter, J. T. Groves council men. Four couucilnien were to be elected, but there was a tie between Hi Plumber aud Percy Fiske for this honor. Gervals also chose officers lor the ensuing year. They arc: Couucilnien, Charles Overby, J. S. Scott, O. Thibodeau, P. Kelley, and E. Dupuis; recorder, W. S. Taylor; treasurer, M. Mitchell; mar shal, H. Koester. A Writable 1'aradise. Certainly it Is refreshing to think of our Douglas county neighbors as being now engaged in harvesting a second crop of apples. BUt our own favored valley Is not far behind. To-day many of our own citizens had for dinner string beans and green peas of second crop, while raspberries 'and strawberries havo not entirely disapeared yet. Farther east bleak winter is already upon them with his blinding snows aud thickening ices, while In Oregon old Sol is still brightly bctlmlug as is his wont at this season. An Ef Ideace or Prosperity. Salem is to have a system of street railway, and a Hue Is to bo con structed in time for tho next session of the legislature. This is another gratifying evidence of tho growth of tho capital. All such - enterprises will Increase Its vigor aud bring other enterprises, aud will enhance the value of real estate. Roseburg Herald. 1 Wheat Goes C. This morning tho Salem quota tions on wheat moved up one cont on the busliol, making the price 70 cents per bushel. It Is thought it will go still higher, as river navi gation has hardly woll opened yet. Tu SerT.e Two Uar. Yesterday evening John Hamp- bhlre was1 brought tothe penitentiary from Umatilla county. He eomos to servo n two years' sentence, hav ing been convicted of the larceny of a watch. - ' The CfcarapUaH Work. The Champion has already I wen to Salem and loaded with wheat for Portland. Her route this ston will be between Portland and Harrhtburg. Lal ot Silk and Honey. Tho article below is just now hav ing the run of several hundred eastern papers, being published In all the co-operative issues of a St. Paul ready-print house : "Oregon will yet 'fruit' the entire Northwest, from Indiana to Idaho, and those states and territories will bo greatly benefited thereby. There Is no part of the state that is better qualified In every way for this kind of culture than Marlon and Polk counties, surrounding Salem, the state capital. In Salem there is now a larce fruit evnn.im.inir oa. tabllshment, aud a cannery Is spoKeu or as the next improvement. It is likely such an institution will bo built next year, It being too late uus season. Land suitable for prune or other fruit culture can bo purchased now near Salem at from ?30to $150 per acre, in cultivation, and for less if not cleared. It would pay thousands of your bliz zard-stricken farmers to leave that frozen land, where you can crow nothing but chilblains and frozen ears, and where tho farmer can work 365 days out of the year If he wants, and wo will never see the labors of his arm go for naught. In tho three months your Minnesota farmer has to 'hole up' on account of tho cold and snow, he could earn the living for a year for his family in ,Jregou." i i i The rroilQctlveness of Oregon. The soil here Is wonderfully rich and productive, and produces wheat, oats, barley llax, peas, beans, vege tables of all sorts and staple fruits in their most perfect form. Salem Hour has long commanded the high est price in tho Liverpool market, and now Salem apples, green and evaporated, pears aud prunes sell for more than the product of any other part of tho United States in Chicago. St. Paul buys our "big red apples" and luscious prunes. The yield of both these fruits long since accorded tho post of "staples" In all markets,-- has been enormous this year, and a sight of an average Oregon orchard would make tho eyes of a "Michigan apple grower," or Eastern prune producer turn green with envy. Prunes set out in good land and well cultivated will begin bearing in at least live years, that is, so oue can call the bearing a crop. To plant them will cost, say an acre of ground, &50; 155 trees (the average number set to an acre), $23.25; plowing the ground and planting the trees; $7.50; total cost (original) per acre to plant prunes, $S0.75, Including cost of tho land. Cultivation for five years may Iks $50 or 100. One prune orchardlst's eight acres will pay him from $500 to ?G00 this, their fifth year. A Great Ulg Day. Although there is being held to day a great national election, all is very peaceable and orderly in tho capital city. Knots of earnest men crowd the sidewalks and street cor ners discussing tho issues of tho day nnd using ull ondeavors to lnlluence, by argument, tho voter who has not yet cast his ballot. Although Salem is filled to overflowing with people, there Is neither druukenness nor disorderly conduct, aud tho day promises to come to a close without any extraordinary demonstration. To-night we may expect to see the vast throng filling tho sidewalks a surging mass of humanity eager to catch the import If tho succeeding bulletins. Tho news received beforo to-morrow will bo most meagre, and even then wo can havo noassumuce. To-night's bulletins must bo mere conjecture. Setoad Crap. A Red Juno apple treo on the premises ofV. H. Byarslu this city has furnished two crops of fruit this Booson. Tho flratcrop was gathered last Julv aud the secoud crop oniy a few days ago. Tho lust crop was not so i larce jis, the first but was healthy well-llavored fruit.

At oue o clock this afternoon those young republicans who were about to cast their first presidential voto assembled at the Chemekete and marched in a body to tho poll". There were 70 6"f them In lino aud as they proceeded along tho crowd ed streets, to tho step of martial music, shouts of warm enthusiasm and encouragement greeted them. The streets were thronged on either side but a way was made to the polls. The first ballot deposited was met with a round or cheers, and with each succeeding vote cast for Harrison, Morton and native land the shouts for protection and the perpetuation of American institutions rent the air. tho dvlnir echo reverberating the hills, only to do louowed by an outburst of still greater enthusiasm. The Dread Diphtheria. In the Thornton family who live a half mile from the long bridge, In Polk county, the diphtheria Is work ing its terrible results. Four mem bers of tho family were stricken with the malady. Oue, a little eight year old daughter, died yesterday evening and her sister, who is eigh teen, is expected to follow her with in a short time. Tho other members of the family are perhaps a shadow Improved, but their condition Is In deed precarious. This in one of those dread dls cases which comes upon us un awares and works Its deadly ends beforo a realization is evident. Great care should bo used in tho matter of exposure, as the germs of disease may be carried from one person to another through clothing. We trust tho worst Is over, yet u timely warning Is never amiss. LOCAL hUMMAKY. BUI Watklnds, tho irrepressible and redoubtable, Is In tho City to day. The examination of the afl'.iirs of the Indian training school at Cho mawa have been adjourned until to morrow. U. S. Special Agent Gen. Gordon Is in the city. Dr. Wm. Smith has sold a piece of residence property on corner of Chemekete and High to C. S. Riely. The consideration was 2,450. Mr. Riely w.111 erect a neat and stylish residence on this property In tho spring. Calvin Neal, a well-known pio neer of Marlon county, was stricken with paralysis of the right sldo at his home four miles from Turner last Thursday. Ho is reported as somewhat better, although tho chances for recovery aro poor. This being election night, when everybody will be considerably agi tated if not more so there will be no meeting of the Board of Trade Really it would be next to impos sible to corral the pcoplo for any kind of a meeting on such a night as this. Mr. D. L. Irwin of Scio, desirous of Improving his already fino stock of Angorla goats, yesterday purchas ed of W. D. Clagget one of thoj pure bred bucks Imported from Cal ifornia.

A lynx weighing twenty pounds was killed near tho residuneo of George Zinc, on Round mountain, Nevada county, last Sunday. The average single life of a good looking school teacher In Merced county is less than a year, according to tho editor of tho .Merced Express. Ont of our valued exchanges speaks of another paper, as "owned by a banker and edited by a skunk !" We should call that a powerful com bination. A young man recently started a paper in Tillamook county, and now they are circulating all kinds of mean reports about him, one story being that he was born In Dakota. At Tillamook tho wreckage of the steamer Manih is settled all along the beach, while tho hulk Is turned upside down about otio mile above the Bar View House. All hands were lost. Tho band of horw thieves that has been preying upon tho stockmen of Union county of late, are now In close quarters. Two of them aro now in jail and the others hiding in ho timber near Elgin, but certain of capture. The following Is a copy of a bill posted on the wall of a country vil lage: "A lecture on total abstinence will be delivered in tho open air, and a collection will be made at thedoor to defray expenses." The Nevada law denying the suf frage to bigamists, polygamlsts or members of tho Mormon Church having been declared unconstitu tional, the people will voto on a con stitutional amendment containing the substance of that law. It is with no small concern that tho stockmen of Jackson county note i (.appearance of blackleg or anthrax during tho past two weeks on several ranges In tho county. Near Brownsboro Ed.

Mrs. Edwards, Editor of tho Bazoo of Bay City, In apologizing for the non nppeurunco of the paper says: "To tho readers of tho Bazoo I apologizo for not appearing the last two weeks. Tho cause lies In tho non-arrival of freight which had our paper on board.' As soon as that arrives look out for us, as we are loaded for a boom."
