"V YTIfTWy Wf''W -"rTT" U a. P,v KrnvFrme'MTMwimjBiNrs3i9uxif CAPITAL CITY NEWS . Recital of the Daily Doings Compiled From Various Sources. Happenings Over the City and News From the Country. Prom Salem to the Sea. In nu artlclo on a prospective boom for Salem, the East Portland Vindicator says: "But the most im portant move that has been made to advance the interests of Salem and the central part of the "Willaniotto valley, is for a railroad from the city, connecting with a lino soon to be put in course of construction from Astoria to Tillamook. The opening of the road is assured by the ncces eity for 'its existence. The wholo line will pass through the richest portion of the state and develop an Immenso body of agricultural land now covered with forests of valuable timber. The people of Salem have reason to congratulate themselves on the brightness of their future pros pects, and a spirit of laudable, legiti mate enterprise, which will benefit tho whole people, has given now life to tho Capital, that beautiful Chomekcto of the state." An Infant Industry. Passing along Commercial street our attention was attracted to a 8inall hand manufactory of tho standard fence. Hero is the hum' bio beginning of what must prove ero long to become a big tiling. Even now there is demand for much more than can possibly be turned out by this establishment. A dozen such machines could be run by a small coal gas engine such as prints tho Cincinnati Enquirer and runs twenty or more sowing machines to bind shoes. Tho fences are cheap, durable, and the best substitutes for tho very objectionable barbed wire ones. These manufactories are the things one likes to see. A IlunKling Affair. Postal Inspector Trueltin and Denutv U. S. Marshal Wait "cab baged" the wrong man hero Sunday when they arrested tho colored waiter, John L. Allen for rilling a registered packago 'it "Woodvllle. The postmistress of Woodvillo ap peared against him In Judge Dcady's court in Portland, but when tho prisoner was brought in she at once declared ho was not tho man and Allen was released. Pcarco & Mays say ho is a good waiter and aro de sirous of onco more securing his services. Spare The Kod. A Caimtaij JointNAii reporter walking In North Salem yesterday evening heard tho most horrible waitings from a little child as it was being beaten by somo person in a woodshed who was evidently laying 11 on with a strong arm. Child beating is now deemed on a par with wife bo.itlng in tho most cllvlllzed communities. Thero is less souse, if wo will nut thluk of it a little, in beatingn child thanln pounding a grown person. St-eUu;; a Lost llrothtr. .lames Davis of Terro Haute, Ind., sends an inquiry to Salem, concern ing his brother Win. M. Davis, who formerly operated Davis' Ferry, near Salem. Tills ferry is now known as tho Hall ferry. Ho jays ho fears the brother Is in need of assistance, or dead, as he has been unable to hoar from him for many months.

Peacock's Store, Together with Contents, Destroyed by Fire. its On Wednesday evening tho usual ly quiet little village of Marion was thrown into a state of wild excite ment by tho cry of fire ringing through the streets. Rushing to the scene of the alarm, flames were seen leaping from tho store room of W. B. Peacock. Tho fire had gained such headway before discovered that nothing could bo saved, as the city was unprepared to fight the ele ments. The fire was first discovered by Mr. Matthews, but he was unable to do more than give tho alarm. The store, with entire contents, was dls troyed, causing a loss to Mr. Pea cock of about $1500 above insurance. It is not known how the fire origin ated, but a defective flue is supposed to have been the cause. No More Smallpox. For tho first tlmo since September 19th last thero Is not a case of small pox in Marlon county which is once more free from tho scourge.

D. T. Sunnnervlllo. Mrs. Barrett and Mrs, Batcholor are old Indiana friend- and schoolmates. Baa Walks. It becomes our duty to say a few words about the condition of our sidewalks. In a number of places they are getting in a decidedly precarious condition, and on a dark night it is very dangerous to go over somo of them. Tho planks have become rotten and uneven and many aro misplaced. Taking it altogether our street commissioner should get to work on the walks, for If the matter is not attended to soon some of these days the city will have a damage suit on its hands, for a oroken limb or something of that character. Salem should have bet ter walks. The present ones aro not very impressive to a stranger's eye. An Old Lady's. Accident. Yesterday Mrs. E. Woods, of North Salem, tho aged mother of H. W. Hatch, head miller in the Salem Flouring mills, met with a painful accident which may confine her to her room for somo weeks. Sho is nearly seventy years of age, and quito feeble. She had finished washing the dishes and in throwing the dish-water over the railing of the back porch her foot slipped and she fell to the floor, breaking her arm. She was not found at once and laid on the floor sometime be fore her accident was discovered. The fractured member was prompt ly set and she is now improving quite nicely. Salem s Amended Charter. Last night the city council had under consideration the question of the amendmentof tho Salem charter. A bill was prepared and proposed in the Senato this morning. Tho bill contains a clause allowing tho city to issue bonds and create a debt of $25,000 for the construction of sowers and water works, tho same to be exempt from taxation. Also one providing for tho construction of a pest houso outside of the city limits. Another concerning the regulation of street car lines. And another making thirty days' resideneo in a ward necessary before a voter is qualified. II lik Ileal liorn's Coullrmatlun. In tills morning's dispatches from Washington is the welcome news to democratic hearts of tho confirma tl m by the senato of tho apppoint ment of Richard II. Dearborn as postmaster of Suleni. His nomina tion was beforo the senato early In December and after so long a delay has been acted upon. Mr. Dearborn will rcceivo ills commission within a fortnight and it Is expected he will take charge of the affairs of the office within a month. A Creamery .Meetlag.

There nre part ies in correspondence who desire to establish n first class creamery hero and It is very important that thoso who have nu Interest at stake bo present at this ineotiug. Surely, above till other thlugn, Salem needs n erwiinury. Not by a Dam Site. Thomas Kay, the woolen mill man and tho owneis ot the urny water power and mill site today have their heads together in con ference. Last night all negotiations with tho Grays as regards the mill ite by tho dam site were oil', but to day they aro not oil' by a dam slto. Tho committee will bo ready for ac tive work within a few days and tell us the mill is assured. Wo trust tho committee aro not mistaken. Boitnro ot Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy tho sense of smell and completely de range the whole system when enter ing it through the mucus surfaces. Such articles should never bo used except on prescriptions from reputa ble pnysicians, as tue uamage iney will do aro ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucus surfaces of the svstem. In buvinc Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine, it is taken internally, and is made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & uo. soitt Dy druggists, price to cents per bottle. The population of Texas was over two million In January 1887, and lapidly Increasing. Worth Knowing, Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Fla., was taken with a severe cold, attended with a distress ing cough and running into con sumption in its first stages. He tried many so called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse. Was reduced In flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr. King's New Discovery tor consumption and found immediate relief, and after using about half a dozen bottles found himself well and has had no return of the disease. No other remedy can show such a t?rand re cord of cures as Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. Guar anteed to do just what is claimed tor it Trial bottle free at Dr. H. W. Cox's drug store.
