h i CAPITAL CITY NEWS. Recital of (lie Daily Doings Compiled From Various Sources. Happenings Over the City and From tho Country. News A Cowardly Act. A Capital Journal reporter, while looking for news, was told the following fact, which Is true, and reliable. Tho whole occurrence is cowardly and far below tho dignity of a gentleman. Last evening, as people were going home from church, our infor mant says, he passed two little boys, and two little girls, the oldest being over ten years of age, standing on tho walk Just south of Postmaster Dearborn's house. One of tho little girls was crying, and on being asked what tho trouble was, tho little one said that "tho man just ahead yon der, had just crabbed our umbrella and broken it and thrown it over in tho Held." Wo are informed that tho statement of tho little ones is true. Such being tho case it is hard for a persons to deal justice to a cul prit, that would molest little children after dark, when there was no one to protect them. o Sales of City Property. Several good sales in city real es tate nave been consummated and it is thought they will result in the construction of several new bricks before the season Is well commenced. One is the. purchase by J. I. Thomp son and W. F. Uoothby of tho Stewart brick, next to tho new building going up on Commercial. Another is that by A. Bush of the property occupied by Mi&s Sperry's gallery and tho meat market. Two ew Firms. Yesterday evening tho real estato firm of Moores & Manning dissolved partnership. Each member of tho firm will, however, continue in tho samo business. Mr. Moores will re main at tho old stand, while Mr. Manning hit? secured a sultoof rooms in the new bank block up stairs, where lie may bo found. Success is sure to attend each of theso actlvo gentlemen. . .No License Woisc Than One. It is a laet that since Sllverton re fused to renew tho license for their saloon more drinkables are sold than formerly. Now it sells by tho quart and everybody who wants a drink must take a quart. Beer goes out by the load and tho proprietors have hard work keeping enough of the ardent on hand to supply the demand. Two .New Hcliool Districts. Prof. Yoder has formed two now school districts in Marlon county. They aro known as Nos. 112 and 113 and aro located respectively in the Daiby and Layman neighborhoods near Mneleav. It is expected to or ganize the districts at onco and build school houses as soon as pos sible. -. , Loose Once A'Mii. Tho grand Jury failed to return a true bill against Al and Willis Jor dan, tho two young rascals, and the boys In consequence are onco more turned loose. It will be suprlslng if they aro not in jail again In a few months for some ollbnee. They are tough citizens. Tbe Crazy Sociable. Last night the ladies of tho Belief Corps gave what was very appropri ately termed a crazy sociable. Tho program as enacted wa3 lull of in terest, following which tho assem blage listened to a few volunteer stories of tho fight. Mr. Bell of Dallas made a few remarks, taking for his subject matrimony and climate and reaching tho climax with tho statement that Oregon was tho true garden spot. Mr. Kimball of Douglas county though not a public speaker, as ho declared, made a neat speech of several minutes, durjng which ho recounted some bloody scenes of tho cruel war. D. C. Sherman said ho couldn't make an address, much as he would like to, but he was loud in calling for the commander of tho Lakeview Post, W. T. Boyd. Mr. Boyd gave an in teresting talk and drew great atten tion in tho narration of a war romunco in which he was one of tho actors. While lying, half-starved and half-naked with 3000 other pris oners, in prison at Columbia on rations of sorghum, ono day they received a quantity of wearing ap parel from tho sanitary commission. It fell to his good fortune to receive among the others, in tho too of one of the stockings received by Mr. Boyd was a note which told the re cipient that those socks had been knit by tho hands of a Northern girl whoso heart was loyal to the Union. She hoped they might keep his feet warm and that tho words might cheer his depressed heart. "Addle," Washington county, N. Y., was tho signature to the little scrap. Mr. Boyd treasured the mossago and wore it next his heart for years and years. Finally, after many years, when grim vlsaged war was over, ho happened, impell ed perhaps by the romance of tho affair, to find himself at Salem, Washington county, N. Y. To make tho story short, at a dance there he was introduced to a Miss Addio Green, and in conversation learned that she had written the noto. The romance hero ends, much to tho disappointment of all, for it was expected "Addie" would turn out to bo Mrs. Boyd. NAMING JOHN DAY KIVER. Narration of a Pioneer Incident and Fact of History.

John Day, one of tho finest streams of Eastern Oregon, rises in the Blue Mountains and running west and south, empties into the Columbia river some forty miles above The Dalles. John Day was so named after an old trapper, a native of Kentucky, who died at Astoria about a century ago. Mr. Day was an employo of Mr. Crook of tho Northwestern Fur Company and who, in company ;with employ er had crossed the plains along with tho first voyagers. Day becoming sick on Snake river about Fort Hall, Mr. Crook refused to leave him and remained by his side sonio twenty days before ho was able to travel. During that timo their companions had made such headway that it was impossible to overtake them. They followed on but snows over took them and their exposure was terrible. They finally reached Walla Walla. The Indians there treated them very kindly and assist ed them on the way. At the mouth of the John Day river they were overpowered by a band of Indians, robbed, stripped and turned loose to starve. Not even permitted tore tain their Hint and steel, the moun taineers match, with which they might make a firo to keep warm during tho chilly March nights. In this pitiful plight they attempted to get back to tho friendly Walla Wallians and had made about eighty miles along the river, when fortunately they met Mr. Stewart and followers in canoes on their way to Astoria. They took the unfortun ate men in, clothed, fed. and carried them down tho river. In Juno 1812, Itobert Stewart was selected to carry dispatches from Fort Astoria to New York, across tho continent. This was a danger ous enterprise and he selected four trusty and well-tried men as com panions in tho voyage. They were Ben Jones, John Day, A. Vallar and F. LeClerc. The company left Astoria on the 20th of June and on the morning of July 2, John Day began to show somo strange freaks and In a few days became so crazy that ho several times attempted ids own life. When they had proceeded as far inland as tho stream that now bears his name it became evident to his companions that ho would bo no better and that thus burdened it would be impossible for them to proceed. They therefore contracted with some friendly Indians to con vey him back th the fort. His frank, bravo and loyal qualities hud made him a universal favorito and it was with tho utmost concern and tears of regret that his comrades saw the poor fellow tied in tho canoe and carried away. The Indians per formed their task faithfully and turned him over to his frionds at Astoria. But his mind was com pletely shattered and his constitu tion broken and ho ,0011 alter died, and was laid to rest where the Columbia and Pacific join in sing ing his eternal requiem. too AX. SUMMAKY.

The Washington Democrat has made its appearance. It is pub lished at Hillsboro, making the third paper for that county. The paper will succeed, as it should. Save its politics, it is a good paper.
