ATTEMPrTo COMMIT RAPE.-Over
in the Forks Of the Santiam. on
Wednesday. man named Dickens
made an assault with an attempt to
commit rape upon the person Of Mrs.
George Paul, as charged IN the com
plaint. The circumstances, as related
to ns, were about as follows: In the
temporary absence Of her husband,
Mrs. Paul had gone some distance
from her residence to lay mp piece
Of fence. On her return toward home
she was waylaid BY Dickens. who, by
threats and force, attempted to ravish
her person. Her shrieks attracted the
attention of fher husband, who had re.
turned home during her absence. At
the sight Of Paul. Dickens fled. As
soon as Mrs. Panl had returned to her
home. and her excitemen somewhat
allayed, her husband was put in pos
session of the above facts. He imme-
diately started in pursuit of Dickens.
and soon found him; but was deferred
from using any harsh measures at the
time by Dickens presenting a cooked
revolver and threatening to use i
upder certain contingencies. Dickens
was soon after arrested and brought
before Justice Morrow. where he was
held in $500 to appear, failing to give
which he languishes, since Thursday,
in the county Jail.

Coon SfocK.-Mr. w. G.
Myer, of Ashland, Jackson county,
arrived in this city on Tuesday,
bringing his fine horse Of the
Pecheron persuasion, White
Prince. This immense horse was
imported from France to- Ohio in
July, 1870, where he was purchased
by Mr.. Myer 10 December follow
ing, and brought to this State.
AT present White Prince is in
moderate flesh ard weighs 1900
pounds. The editor of the Ameri-
can AgrvcuIturist says Of the
PeNhcron stock: "The Percheron
horse, no doubt, stands first among
the draft breeds OF the world. His
value has been thoroughly tested
in this country, and the fact is es-
tablished beyond csvil, that with
careful breeding, and probably an
occasional renewal, by the importa-
tion offresh blood, the PerCheron
maintains bis superior character
istics, and impresses them on bis
descendants, Of only one-quarter or
one-eighth blood, to q very marked
degree. : = Y The Pcrcheron,
combining, as he does, q certain at
tractivenesa OF style, very free
action, considerable speed, united
to power, with astounding strength,
for his weight, and the greatest
kindness and docility, seems to
offer to American rse-breeders On
exceedingly useful animal, either TO
be maintained distinct, Or used for
improving our stock Of both light
and heavy draft horses by cross
ings." As will be seen BY reference
TO the advertisement elsewhere,
White Prince will BE- at the livery
stable Of MarshalI & Schlosser, IN
this city, each week, from Monday
afternoon 70 Wednesday Rcoa,
where, our lovers d tne stock
should csll ana S6e bin. ,,.s.8e.

A party who goes by the appellation
of Zone eyed John, . an old resident Of
this city, came within an ace of hand
ing in his checks on Thursday night.
He was lying along side the switch,
probably in deep sleep, when the Ex-
press train from Portland came back
ing down. Some Of the train boys saw
a man laying near the track, and the
engineer succeeded in stopping the
train before the locomotive reached the
place where. John lay, thus saving his
life. As 1t was John had his coat bad
ly torn. The1 1rst words John spoke
upon gaining.Ais feet were: "Am !

BoATING ON THE RAGING Ca
NAL.-To those who "go down to
the sen in ships," who traverse the
tracklesS ocean as a means OF liveli-
hood or for pleasure, there is said
to be a fascination or excitement
that drives away all fear or care tor
the dangers and perils, deprivation
aud toll, inseperably connected with
q "life On the ocean wave" This
much by the way Of preface. A
peculiar trait of American character
is, that in every community there
are to be found daring and adyen-
tdrous spirits who are constantly on
the look out for some new and diff
ficult enterprise, calling TOR nerve,
cool judgment and skill. And now
we come to the point-to the mat
ter in hand. Tie great feat OF the
age, a work ofsurpassing grandeur,
calling forth the first engineering
skill of the whole coast Of Oregon
from its inception to its completion,
had just been completed, and an
astonished world was looking on in
wonder and amaze, hardly daring
to ask itself the question: who will
be the first to utilize this "last
ditch?' While an awe-strlcken
world was striving to answer this
vital question, one Of Linn county's
citizens, thinking neither Of the cost
or the danger ofthe mighty under
taking, quietly sets himself to the
task Of working out the problem Of
the success or utility of this giant
work. He sets bis tricks and things
in shape, and soon has completed
and launched on the bosom of this
connecting link between the roaring
and dashing Ssntiam and the broad
and placid Willamette, a neat and
we'll constructed vessel (vuIgarly
termed "fst-boat'', which, upon
trial, "walks the muddy and turbu-
lent waters like q thing Of life"
(which ifnOt . correct quotation Is
strictly true with respect of the
waters), more than meeting the OK.
peCtatious Of the boss ship-builder
and big many admiring friends.
But 10 prove to an unbelieving and
Capticus world that the navigation
ofthe rapid rolling waters Of the
Albany a Ssntiam Canal was, not
a myth, but perfectly practicable,

DoING A RUSHING BUSINESS

DoING A RUsHING BUSINESS
Mr.. N. Baum has been doing an
immense business ever since the ar
rival ofhis spring stock of goods;
although scarcely week has
elapsed since that event, he has al
ready been compelled to order q
fresh supply, to keep up full stock.
His assortment OF clothing, both for
boys and men, has never been
equalled in the city, embracing all
the most approved patterns in make,
OF the very latest styles of goods
manufactured, from which the most
fastidious can not fail to find some
thing to exactly suit his taste. For
the ladies, his line OF calico's are
especially captivating, and the de-
mand for them, from the moment
of opening, was SO large that he has
already, as elsewhere remarked,
been obliged to order anew to keep
up the stock. His stock Of fancy
goods is also full and attractive.
A new line, for this valley at least,
is his linen suits for ladies-neat,
substantial, and cheap suits, already
for wear. OF course the demand
for ready.made dresses and all the
other etceteras that go to make up
a lady's suit, is large, and Of course
will steadily increase. Hereafter it
will not be a matter requiring weeks
Of labor and study for a lady to get
herself up in good style for a party,
excursion or ball-she will only
be required to step into Baum's,
and in a few minutes can select from
his assortment q dress and etceteras
to suit her style and complexion.
But OF course we hayn't time if we
had the room to mention 1.-THE of
the attractions offered to the citi-
zens OF this city and surrounding
country by the indefat'gable Baum.
If you want to see a large and COM
plete stock of well selected, latest
style goods, we certainly would rec
ommend you to call at Baum's.
He says be will sell, too, at Granger
prices, which ought to be completely
satisfactory to the great body ofour
people-the agricultural class.

oetter De imagined than described, /,
Eat this unexpected call TO face IN
seen and unknown dangers in at
tempting to navigate this great III.
ternal Improvement, that bad caus-
Ell them already SO many trials and
tnbulations IN navigating" it to a
successful issue. But they saw the
effects ofrefhsal; they saw that they
must still endure for the sake OF
science and the ultimate receipts Or
dividends" on Canal stock, and
after making their willssnd bidding
all their friends a lingering goodbye,
on Tuesday morning they marched
on board the Granger in single file,
seated themselves in the after-cabin,
and calm and serene as a summers
morn, submitted to whatever the
tates had in store for them. Two
powerful engines (one-horse power
each), had been secured by the Cap
tain to propel the new vessel against
the mighty cnrrent-a current that
swept the whole length of the Ca
nal with an almost resistless force
Of more or less miles per hour. The
engineer mounted the wheel-horse-
power, sunk his spurs into its sides,
thus letting on steam, and at once
theeventful voyage, SO fruitful Of re-
suits, commenced. But we haven't
space to accompany these daring
men, and describe in detail the
eventful scenes and hair-breadth
'scapes met on the voyage. Suffice
it, that the journey up was accom-
plished safely in about six hours, a
great portion of which time was
taken up in passing the forty gates
and numerous bridges spanning the
Canal. The return trip to this city
was made in less than halt the time
required to make the up trip, and
that, too, with no propelling power
bnt the current. The feasibility of
navigating the Canal with boats has
been demonstrated, and a number
OF boats will be built and a good
tow-path made, IN readiness tor the
carrying trade that is certain to
spring up at once along the line of
the canal. Farmers along the line
of the Canal can have their own
boats, III which they can, at any
season Of the year, visit this city,
with their produce, with little
trouble and expense certainly
great feature when, in the Winter
season, it is abont all q span of
horses can do to haul an empty
wagon ever the average Oregon
mud roads. Every day some new
beauty is discovered in our Canal,
adding to its intrinsic value, send
log its stock up, and increasing our
esteem for those who have SO sue
cesSfllly labored in its completion.

APRIL FooL.-Quite q number
Of jokes were played off on Wed
nesday, April lst, by the boys
about town, creating q good deal
Of diversion. At the Restaurant .
''cottOn pie" was put up for the
benefit Of the boarders, but the boys
failed to go for that pie until 1900
came in. When "pie time" came,
be seized a quarter section Of that
pie and shut bis jaws down on to
it. The moment he set his teeth
into that pie he "saw the pint"
but without cracking q smile or
q muscle, he cody pro-
ceeded to worry down his piece Of
that pie---and be certainly did GET
away with it in good shape. He
declares be was not fooled-that
''cotton pies" always did agree with
him, and ne likes 'em. YeIly good.

Lyuch Law In Iowa.

CHICAGO, Dec l5.-A special dispatch from
Des Moines, Iowa. says about $50 a. u. to-
day body of about $50 men, disguised, en-
tered the Jail, knocked down the jailor, bound
him haud aud foot, took the keys to the cells
from his pocket, overpowered the guard, and
entered the cell where Charles Howard, the
murderer OF johnson, who was yesterday SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life, was con6oed.
His wife, who was sleeping with him, chung to
him, utteriug horrible shrieks, and it was all
that halt dozen men could do to drag bin
from his bed. A rope was then placed about
his neck, and he was dragged through the halls
and Court house yard to lamp post and hung.
All the men had their faces blackeued and were
divided into squads, each doing its allotted
work without word being spoken. After
Howard had been fastened to the post the mob
dispersed as silently as they came. Ii is sup
posed the work was done by members of the
Vigilance Committee n this county, who have
been recently boldiug meetings. and on Satur
day, when the jury came in with their verdict,
several were seated near the prisoner.
