Many of our local readers no doubt remem-
Der A. S. Embree, the brilliant young minis
ter who preached on the west side last year.
He narrowly escaped with his life last week
at the Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he il
stopping for the benefit of his health. The
daily Sentinel of that place OF Thursday says
he was walking in the woods about quarter
Of mile back from Bclview cottage beyond
the park, and stopping to rest awhile be lean
ed himself against tree for few minutes,
when there was a report Of pistol heard and
he felt a jar similar to that produced by =
gun shot. Mr.. Embrce was alone and OF
course felt an inclination to change his base
pretty quickly, which he did. On examining
his clothes he found that shot, supposed to
be pistol ball, had past through the lower
part Of his breast coat pocket, penetrating
partly through 4 package of letters and ganc
ing off. Mr.. Embre cannot give any clew to
the party who fired the shot, nor has he any
enemy-being slightly acquainted there-that
he can suspect. He did not see the person
who fired at him. the underground being too
thick. hut he thinks he was quite near him.

A terrible row occurred at EmpOria in a
brewery Sunday night. A lot Of railroad men
it seemed who had been spending the night
there upon being requested to leave sought
revenge. Guns, stones, revolvers and brick
bats were used with murderous effect. Filler
Burgtic was killed outright, and three or four
others cut, gashed and shot in terrible
manner. Before daylight several Of the par
ties. including some three or four badly
wounded men. were in Jail. The inquest,
which was at last accounts still being held,
failed to get any satisfactory explanation as
to how II all came about, as the brewery peO-
pie say all the shooting was done from the
outside, and none but railroad men were up
on the outside as far as was known. 1t was
bloody affair, and following the two muir
ders committed in that county last week, has
intensified the feelings Of that usually order

This is a dry year and several States have
already suffered from the continued drouth
Of this spring. Kansas has suffered as little
as any State west Of New York. but We don't

crops in this portion of the Arkansas valley
are growing wonderfully. aud the EAGLE. a.
our Older readers can well attest, is not the

We win have u dry summer. Corn and other

A great need h felt in this city for socie-
t. for the prevention Of cruelty to animals
especially is this the case among dealers who
are handling the Texas or southern horses
on this market. 1t seems the more cruelty
the animal can be handled when first lassoed
IN the herd the better. Harsh treatment in
breaking them is all wrong they can be made
tractsble and kind by gentle treatment. 1t

THE DAIRY BUSINESS. This interest, which
has always been extensive in Clarke county,
is growing into huge proportions, and devel-
oping very rapidly. The river dairyman
have long seen the necessity of more prompt
and rapid means OF transportation than the
regular lines of steamboats, afford, and have
by combined effort succeeded in placing a
small steamboat on the river for their exclus-
i've use. The boat is the Anna, capable of
making about IL miles per hour. This boat
started on its regular trips last week Friday,
and every morning early her shrill whistle is
heard at the Vancouver landing, and the
farmers landings in the vicinity, where she
takes on board the milk in cans from the
ranches, to be transported to Portland where
it is received and sold by Mr.. j. B. Knapp,
who is one Of the most successful dairy farm
ers of Clarke county. and has established in
Portland dairy depot, where he receives
all the products of the dairy, milk, butter
and cheese, keeping them in rooms especially
prepared for each, so as to retain them in
perfect condition until used. The enter
prise is one long needed, and one which will
sustain itself without doubt, as the farmers
Of Clarke county, and in Oregon, will find
it to their interest to sell in that market

LOUIS SOHNS. Mayor

School No. cot is seldom that the
writer has experienced a more encouraging
school visit than was enjoyed in District No
20 on Saturday last at the close of a very
successful term. The exercises consisted in
a brief review of the lessons gone over and
revealed thoroughness which speaks well
for both teacher and scholars. Edu catonal
matters in this district are assuming very
promising aspect. The school was taught
by Miss Nora OBrien, and so pleased are
the people with her work that the officers
of the district have employed her for another
term of six months, which is soon to begin.
One of the gratifying features of my visit
was the presence of several of the patrons
of the school, among whom noticed Messrs.
Henry Christ, Owen Mulligan and Mr.
Dillon, all of whom had children in the
school, and seemed highly gratifed with
the progress they had made One half of
the teachers salary for the past term has
been raised by subscriptions; and the fact
that this has been cheerfully raised by but
a few, and that under these circumstances
six months term is alout to commence
are a sufficient guarantee that the people Of
Dist. No. 20 are being actuated by the gem
uine spirit IN the matter of the education
of the children. The course they are TAX
ing is very commendable; for it is hard to
estimate the good that may be accomplished
by faithful and efficient teacher. Il.

gether for the common good
