The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1875-02-19

A Goob ARTICLE, The Register Of
last week contained d carefully COM
piled and well written article on Linn
county, giving many facts and figures
and m lch valuable information in re-
gard to our features, resources and ad-
ysntagss. From it we learn that the
city of Albany contains two Touring
mills and six warehouses, with . stor-
age capacity of about 100000 bushels
of grain, and costing in the aggregate
about $I40,OOO. Our city contains 7
dry goods houses, hardware houses, A
millinery stores, 5 grocers, $ saloons, 2
breweries, book store, 3 smithies, 4
wagon shops, 2 saddle and harness
shops, Q livery stables 2 hotels and q
number Of private boarding houses, 5
boot and shoe MANUFACTURERS, tin and
stove stores, drug stores 2 tail
ors, 2 Touring mills, ! saw mill, 8
grain warehouses, 2 splaning mills, !
foundry and machine shop, 8 paint
shops, jewelry stores, 8 barber shops,
printing offices where three weekly
papers are printed, gunsmiths, coop
er shop, | turning lathe and 2 broom
factories 10 doctors and 10 lawyers !;
and the aggregate business of the city
last year, including the transactions of
the mills and warehouses, amounted
to, If it did not exceed, Sl,OOO,0OO.
There were erected last year 40 build
ings, costing about $4,000 1t is
quite certain that this year will see a
much greater progress and improve
ment than last. Several large build
ings have been projected, work upon
which will commence early in the
Spring. Mr.. John Briggs will soon
break ground for the erection of a
handsome two-story business house on
the spot where the Old Stove Store
now stands. Mayor Froman will erect
. two-story brick block, on First be-
tween Ferry and Washington streets,
the coming season.

Father DeKalver has gone from

Father DeKalver has gone from
among US to assume new duties else
where. Father DeCalver relinquished
his pastorato here last week, going to
Green Bay on Saturday, where he
will be installed as priest in the Old
French Churcn-tho most ancient,
and largest church building in the
state. We are sorry to lose Father
DeCalver. He is grand good man
and has fought and talked for the right
like true hero during the three years
he has been in our city. We only
hope he may be appreciated whittier
he has gone, as he has been appreciat--
ed here by very many, who, though
not attendant upon the Catholic wor-
ship recognize in our brother who has
gone the personifcation of that LOVE.
which makes all men brothers regard
less Of dogmas or creeds. We shall
look Bro. DeCalver up when we SO
down to the Bay.

Items from Rudolph.
RUDOLPH, AUG. %. 1875.

RUDOLPH, Aug. %, 1879.
The frost that visited our town
on the 21st rather showed partiality to
some of our neighbors. A new conner
who had about two acres of corn, po-
tatoes, and vines of all kinds, the frost
did not injure single thing. Others,
it spared their corn, potatoes and to-
bacco plants, and others their potatoes
only, while others had their crops kill
ed entirely, still others had their crops
injured but slightly.
The harvest is nearly over.
Spring and winter wheat was badly in
jured by the rust, some fields were
hardly worth harvesting, while other
will hardly produce more than one
half or two-thirds of crop. Oats as
a general thing are good.
Mr.. r. Shay lost a young and
valuable cow one day last week, said
COW was MIXED at night and appeared
as we'll as ever, and in the morning she
was stone dead.
Louis Juneau arrived from Ne
braska last week. Mr.. j. sold his
farm in Rudol phi and with his family
moved to Nebraska two years ago.
He was one of the grasshopper suffer-
ers. He left his family six weeks ago,
consisting Of wife and four children,
with only forty pounds of -four IN the
house. He walked aud worked his
way back to Rudolph, and had rather
a hard and tedious journey, as he was
sick week under the doctors care.
Upon his arrival here George Elliot
started a subscription paper to raise
means to send for his family. Mrs.
j. as a wife and mother was an estima-
bic lady and was thought great deal
of by all her neighbors, and her return
to Rudolph will be more than welcom-
ed by all.

The G. 3. & M.-The Oshkosh
Times has this to say of our western
road
While the other railways in the
State have their little furries of one
kind and another, the Green Bay and
Minnesota quietly attends to its own
affairs, and is kept running as regu-
lar as the sun. The officers OF that
road are not of the blowing or turbu-
lent kind, but they keep their road up
in good shape, attend to their own
business, and pass trains regularly be-
tween Winona and Green Bay. The
road traverses one Of the best sec
tons of the State, one terminus being
upon Green Bay and the other upon
the Mississippi, and its route crosses
the Wolf, Wisconsin and Black Rivers.
The road is now quietly doing fair
business, and no distant day it will be
one Of the most important thorough
fares in Wisconsin.

Woods observation-disclosures the big
fire in Chicago, Woods Museum was
one of the features of the great city.
The flames consumed it, but Mr. Wood
with commendable energy has re-estab-
lished the institution upon a finer foot
ing, and on a grander scale than ever
before.
The Museum is now open to the
public and of course is having a big
patronage. We acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of ticket from the management,
which is good enough, but it strikes us
that a standing Invitation to the Press
to attend whenever in the city would
be more Barnum like; but then may
be Wood doesn't care to be like Bar
mum.

Shanghai Chandler, the genial,
erratic, wbolesouled man of brains and
dispenser Of wit that sparkles like old
wine, goes for us after this fashion in
the last Headlight, because we ''felt
for him. and found him s'nearly a
week" before we got i'm:
Thus charges our hard-hearted, cruel
and unfeeling Brother Philleo, whom
we never wronged. He does it will
fully and pharisaically, and recklessly.
Philleo knows the fate Of Annanias and
the other Saphead who lied when they
told Enoch cup, baldhead, > and forty
two bears came out and turned them
into a pillar of salt before they could
escape to Noah's ark or say Jack Rob
inson. He knows too the numerous
big judgments for libel recently obtain
ed against editors for lying. And
right in the face and full knowledge
of all that, and further knowledge
that sometimes editors get whipped for
abuse, and knowing too that we are
bigger than he, and as sensitive as a
wasp, even then he dares publish such
a 'little slant as that, that
we are a ruined woman. Lord I!
lord how this world is given to ly-
ing !" We. tight circus day! A
fatter fib never was fabricated and
we can prove it, and feel injured ac-
cordingly-to our damage $500 or I'M

tract
To our notion, when a fellow is try
ing to be and IS, truly good, it is mean
ia jab him with taunts and jibes and
piteous sneers.
We enter general denial to the al
legatio that we toted brick in our
hat on the circus day, and generally
defy the alligator Philleo to prove it.
It aoos nearly a a0eeh after the circus !
Now, retract J or we sue.
Shang, we take it all back-we re-
tract-we recant. IF we have ever
done you any good we're sorry for it.
We wouldn't lay straw in your way
lest one end should get into a julip,
and you know where tother end would
go, where it would do the most good.
When we SAID what we did, we told
the devil to ''stick it in" and he did,
but in such way that one would in

The St. John Society.-Paid a

A Select School. Chitten-
den of New York, an able and highly
educated gentleman, has made a grand
offer to our youth, particularly those
who have been thinking of commenc-
ing course at the University the
present fall.
At the close of the summer term of
our school quite number of our
young men and ladies graduated. Mr..
Gaynor sacrificed comfort, and in
many ways did nobly for their advance
ment, but we shall ever believe that
they were crowded along-subject to
a species Of hot bed culture, which we
fear will not prove just the thing after
all. Now. Prof. Chittenden proposes
to organize class for the benefit of
those pupils who may receive his val
liable services and become carefully
prepared for the University by another
fall. Prof. G. is recommended by
Rev. II. w. Bellows, D. D., Jos. NJ.
Drake, of the banking house of Drake
Bros, Prest. Underhill, of the U. S
lns. Co. and other men and eminent
scholars. Now we wish to say woro
to those boys who have set their hear
upon going to Madison. You can save
money, be better prepared for Uni
verslty course another fall, have re

NAMED at home a year crowned with a
whole years experience in life, and in
the end be better satisfied if you en-
brace the opportunity offered which is
golden. Prof, G. will meet all who
choose TO talk the matter over, at the
Tribune Office tomorrow evening, at s
o'clock.

A Drunken ROW.-A few days
ago Frank Brown, Jerry Keegan and
one other rough wanting to 90 to
Balch's, through mistake got off at
Bearss' station, when, discovering their
mistake they became SO enraged that
they pitched two new stoves off the
platform upon the track, smashing and
doing much other damage. Mr.. War
ner, and Mr.. T. Bearss who was hunt
ing with breech loading gun, hearing
the disturbance fastened to the station,
Mr.. b. in the meantime Withdrawing
the cartridges from his gun, when the
roughs prepared to fight it out. Mr..
Bearss was very determined but would
have no row, whereupon one of the
party snatched the gun and snapped
it at Mr.. B. evidently with murderous
intent We are informed that the
parties left for the Central Road imme-
diately, and have not been seen since.
Frank Brown has had too many rec
Communications from our people to al
low himself to get into so disgraceful a
Scrape.

valuable knowledge to US last Monday
relative to the curing of cancers We
presume that Mr.. B. will be glad Tor
the afflicted's sake that we tell them,
though we speak without his sanction
in the matter. Mr.. B. has been af11ict-
ed with a cancer for number of years,
and last spring was suffering intensely.
He sought relief, and not only obtain
ed it, but in measure has been cured
by the use Of the simple remedy, Juice
of the common field sorrei. He pre-
pared it, by taking the fresh leaves,
crushing and bruising them till all the
acid property was expressed, then
squeezing the pulp through a piece Of
fine muslin, after which it was allowed
to evaporate till Of such consistency
as would allow Of spreading in the
form of a plaster. The applications
were frequent and painful, but the
cure OF course compensates for all suf-
fering. The tart of sorrel leaves is
oxalic acid, but whether this drug will
serve the same purpose as a remedial
agent is a question. Those afflicted
with cancers of course will be glad to
learn of this simple remedy which in
many cases is undoubtedly a specific,
