r. B. Mathews Arrested.

Last Tuesday Baney Mathews was
arrested upon warrant issued by
Judge Fitzhugh charging him with per-
jury. The affidavit was made before
the Judge ON the 18th of last March,
by George w. Short, brother-in- law
of the defendant, charging that he COM
mitted perjury in making the affidavit
for marriage license for the marriage
of Elmer Bethers to Laura Porter.
They are the young couple who, it
will be remembered, came from Benton
county last January and who, after
they had been married and started
home were arrested on the cars at
Drain station, by Sheriff Purdom Oh a
telegram from the irate father of the
bride, charging the young bridegroom
with the abduction Of female under
age. The father finally dismissed the
complaint against his new found son-in
law when his daughter had been re-
turned to his bosom. Mr.. Mathews
waived an examination and was held tc
answer to the grand jury in the sun
of $500.

YOUTHFUL DRUNKARDs.-B late
article in the Corvallis Gazette we
learn that the town authorities are lust
now confronted with question of very
grave Importance, not only to that
part of the State but to all people where
ever the license system is in vogue.
1t seems that two mere boys in that
place are under arrest charged with the
crime of habitual drunkenness, and so
far the authorities are powerless in the
matter as the one who furnished
liquor eludes detection. It is idle to
meraHze on the theme-to point out
| the dangers which menance the hearth
stones of every family who live under
TIE protecting shield of license" but
when such things occur as we have
enumerated the thoughtful person is
| apt to wander into channels Of til ought
not very fattering to the whole class
the seller, the government which
licenses and the people who sit idly by
and permit such things to go on.

ENTERPRISE. The newspapers OF
this State have from time to time done
considerable blowing about their enter
prise and the amount of money they
expend in order that the public may
have frst-elass newspapers. We have
not heretofore INDUCED in this vain
glorious business, on account of innate
modesty, and orr readers will pardon
us if we now deyiate from the rule.
Recently we have made extensive and
expensive improvements in our estab-
lishment by purchasing fifteen cents
worth of unbleached muslin to cover
the tympan, besides the enormous out
lay of ST for hinges to formerly dis
carded frisket, by which latter outlay
we expect to remove the unsightly ap-
pearance of mixed borders. We hope
our readers will appreciate this princely
munifoenee on our part.
