hlrr children, men and women all
were happy. But the happiness of
the one here referred to must iinvo
been unexampled. Surely ho has
much over which to rejoice. Head :

u good shipper." It ripens between
the Winter Nellls and Josephine 1)'
Mnllnos. He fore his deatli Mr. Colo
requested that It should bear his
name.
UrrgiM I'osMbllltlej.
It Is said of California that "fruit
growing Is now, and will bo for an
indefinite period, the key note, tho
key Meno, yes, the foundation stone
on which rest the fortunes, the
prosperity, of this glorious land of
Unletting sun." If Miuh bo true of
California, and wo do not doubt It,
what may bo tnld of tho resources
or tho Willamette valley as u fruit
region, with a far better soil, and a
much better climate fur the produc
tion of pears and prunes, and better
facilities for shipping thorn?

Recorder Stickler's court to-day
is lookiuu into tho case of state vs.
Lawtou.
George Lawtou is charged with
drugging Asa Corwin and robbing
him of ?"5. The story of his crime
Jsas follews: On Saturday even
ing Corwin went Into Anderson's
gin mill with a friend Clark who
was under the soothing influence
and had considerable money about
him. Tho lucre ho was Induced to
turn over to Corwin for safe keep
ing. This deposit was witnessed by
Lawtou who "smiled" with the
crowd in their hilarity. Ho also
managed to slip a quantity of drug
into the firewater provided for Cor
win. The result was that Corwin
became insensible under its in
fluence nnd was taken home in a
cab. Lawton assisted him in the
cab and rodo home with him. On
tho road to Corwin's home the
worthless Lawton relieved his
friend of the $75. Marshal Boss
ferreted out the criminal and return
ed him to this city whero ho has
been languished in jail slnco Thurs
day evening. The preliminary ex
amination occurs to-morrow be
fore Recorder Strickler.
Some Nfce City Property.
Yesterday Moorcs & Manning,
the real estate agents, placed seven
desirable building lots on State
street in the market at $450 per lot.
They aro only flvo blocks from the
State house, and aro 50 feet frontage
by 205 feet deep, with a forty-foot
alley way on tho rear. They are
just outsldo tho city limits, the line
bordering the front of tho lots, and
persons purchasing them will save
city taxes. This saving will pay
street car transportation every year,
and thero is no doubt tho Salem
street railway will puss In front of
them by spring. They will soil
these lots oil very easy terms, and
thus make them very desirable in
vestments for persons with small
means. Call at 317 Commercial
street and learn more regarding
those, the only cheap and desirable
residenco lots on Pioty Hill.
Transactions In Realty.
S. P. Stacey, late of lJlandcu,
Nebraska, has purchased a residenco
In North Salem of W. L. Wade.
The salo was made through tho Ore
gon Land company and Mr. Stacey
has already moved into the house
with his family.
Judge Pratt of Phillipsburg, Kan.,
has purchased through the Oregon
Land company property in North
Salem. He is an influential mail
and a desirable acquisition.
L. II. Rowland of Morrow county,
Ohio, has purchased through Moores
& Manning tho Elijah Smith proper
ty on State street, consisting of
02-100 of an acre. Mr. Rowland will
perhaps romovo here with his
family next fall.
The Street Kallway.
Tho directors of the street railway
have purchased and are having re

llrown's. From tho main lino on
Commercial street a spur will run

but it is expected in a few days.
Auothor SllcW Fraud.
School directors throughout the
state aro warned of the arrival of
map swindlers. Two maps worth
ono dollar are sold for flvo under a
pretence that a new law compels
tho directors to have maps hung in
tho school house. There is no such
law and school directors will do
well to watch out for tho schemers.

It Was a Merry Christmas. '
Beginning with the trees on
Christmas eve and continuing still,
the holidays iu Salem have been
and promise yet to be, happy ones.
Everybody was glad, and well they
might be, for we had much over
which to rejoice.
First among tho holiday greetings
and festivals was tho tree given at
the orphans' home. Through the
efforts of a number of Salem's char
itable citizens tho event was a most
happy one for the ldno orphans.
On Christmas eve trees were had
at tho Christian, M. E. and Baptist
churches. They were all pleasant
occasions and caused great rejoicing
among the little ones. The Presby
terian school had an " Elephant "
which brought beautiful presents
for many, while the Evangelical
denomination entertained with a
novel program. '
Last night entertainments were
had at tho Congregational, German
Reform and St. Paul's churches. All
enjoyed themselves thoroughly and
Christmas of 1888 will be long re
membered as one of much merri
ment. t The Moody Meetings,
To-morrow Messrs." Studd and
Burke will arrive in Salem and in
augurate tho series of Moody meet
ing's which will continue for several
days. These meetings will be held
at the M. E. Church, which has been
made in readiness for the accommo
dation of many people. To-night a re
hearsal of the songs will bo held at
the church and all who contemplate
assisting in the meetings will do
well to be present.
Mr. Moody, it is thought, will ar
rive in this city on tho eve of Jan.
1st. Ho has already been to Astoria,
and according to late advices he will
leave Portland on Tuesday after
noon next, arriving hero in the
evening.
Charged With Larceny.
For the larceny on Monday of $7.
50 from tho dive of Dora Blake,
Dan Rodger is lying in jail awaiting
tho action of the grand jury. His
preliminary examination was this
afternoon conducted before Recorder
Strieker with these results.
Matrimonially Unbalanced.
Charles Perry of Union county
was to-day tried before Judge Shaw
for Insanity and committed to tho
asylum. lie lacks mental balance
on the subject of matrimony, and
was once beforo in an asylum, in
Nebraska.
In Love With Ills Wire.
"What can I do to regain my hus
bands love?" writes Mrs. Carrio R.
of Toronto. Sho adds that seven
years ago she was married under
the most happy auspices ana until
six months since happiness crown
ed her domestic life; then her hus
band became distant in his manner
toward her, until now he is positi
vely cold Mrs. R. gives no partic
ulars but if sho is afflicted with dis
eases peculiar to her sex if her
cheeks have lost their bloom, aud
her eyes their sparkle it may explain
the cause of her complain. In this
event Dr. Piereo's Favorite prescrip
tion will efl'ect a magical change
and restore her to health. As a pow
erful invigorating tonic, Dr. Pierce's
favorite i'rescription imparts
strength to tho whole system, and
to tho womb and its appendages, in
particular. For overworked worn-
out, run-down, debilitated teachers
milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses
shop girls, housekeepers, nursing
motners, ami leeuio women general
ly, "Favorito Prescription" is tho
greatest possible boon, being un
cqualed as an appetizing cordial aud
restorative tonic.
Ilure is Mrs. Amelio Rives Chanler
again, aud she seexing.notoriety as usual.
This time it i not in a literary way, how
ever, by au eccentricity of dress that has
set the women talking and the to laugh,
ing. Sho appeared at an afternoon tea
the other day and why people giye after
noon teas nobody has everycl)explained
and v. lien she entered the house to which
she hadbeen iiiviteil.there peeped outjfrom
bsneath her short walking costume a pair
of kid shoesmailo;hkta glove. Each sup.
posably dainty toe of the gentle Amelie
had a kid pouch closo fittiugaud separate
like the ringers of a gtoe, and the admir
ers of "The Quiok or the Dead" hove gone
into ecatacteo over tha new innovation in
in woman's foot gear. And yet possibly
the common senue woman will not think
overmuch of Mrs. Cmnler's now depart

will not.
