LONDON, Nov %. A desuatch from
Safia this afternoon, says King Milan
has sent message under a flag of
truce to the Bulgarian advanced
light, proposing peace at the request
of the powers. The Bulgarian sent
the message to Prince Alexander, and
the latter declined to accept the propo-
sition, on the ground that Bulgaria
had not received such request from
the powers. Prince Alexander re
fuses to consider the peace proposal

Russian action in Bulgaria. The fact
that Russia is massing a large force

tions IN Bosnia, causes the utmost
aneasiness in diplomatic circles in this
city, and it is believed that Prince Al

Few people are aware how much
bristes are worth. It's stated that
a common flour barrel is capable OF
holding 81, 200 worth Of this common
article. The long Russian bristles are
the most valuable, being used in the
manufacture of horse-brushes, which
are perhaps the most costly brushes
made. 1t may be a matter OF surprise
TO many that horse-brushes take a
better bristle than even hair-brushes.
Many factories for manufacturing
brushes are in and around Boston but
there are only three importers Of hrist-

condition in which the American people are
placed by his death, through the failure of con.

succession, and that there is now but one mans

Tho Local option and License Law pass
oil by the last Legislature and approved
by the Governor February 18th IL al that
tho most ardent friends OF reform could
have hoped for n: this time. Our Repro
sentativss havs acted fairly aud wisely.
The 4th and 5th Sections OF said Law read
as follows:
spifituous, malt or yinous liquors before
obtaining license, n hereinafter provId-
ed, snail at bis own trouble or expense,
obtain th1 signatures OF an actual majority
ofths whole number OF legal voters Of the
precinct ln which he may wish 20 sell
such spiFituous. malt or vinous liquors, TO
petition To said County Court, praying
that said license he granted anf no ape
plicAnt shall be deemed 10 have n major
ity or tho legal voters or such precinct
whose petition does not conlaln the names
Ola numbcr OF legal voters OF such pre-
cinct equal 10 . majority OF AL the votes
u such precinct at the last preceding gen.
sral election, aud greater than the whole
number OF names OF legal voters OF suck
precinct which may be signed 10 any 70
monstrance against the granting OF any
such Iicones.
SIC. 8. That when the signatures OF an
actual majority OF the whole number OF
legal voters have been obtained TO bo de-
termined as provided in the preceding sec.
ton, tho applicant shall, nj his own ex-
pense, cause the said petition TO be pub
lishsd for four consecutive weeks In any
daily or weekly newspaper published ia
said county, together with notice OF tha
day upon which he will apply To the
County Court for such license TO sell spIri-
tuoss, malt or vinoGs liquors; prevdsd,
hat - A.Ea II
| paper published In said county then tn
petition and notice herein specified shall
be plainly written and posted In three OF
tho most public places In such precinct.
and proof OF such posting shall be made
by the affidavit OF one OF the petitioners
and two resident house holders OF the
precinct.
Now Il remains for this Law 10 be eniorc.
ed with the same fairness with which it has
been enacted. A majority refusing to
sign petition for license would show the
public sentiment against saloons. That
should be sufficient reason for any coed
citIzen 10 use all his influence against such
business. Tho will Of the majority should
not DO violated. 1t Is folly ever to expect
unanimous sentiment against drinking
aud saloons. A minority will always
exist who will oppose aay measure. And
often that minority Is unjust enough
to violate the wish OF large majority
Such men are never either good Republl-
cans or Democrats. Taey are no. gool
citizens, They are violators OF the spirit
OF our institutions, feel for one like
earnestly asking our people OF Albany
aud OF Linn county to see to 1t that every
voter is fully apprIsed Of this law and O.
his privilege and duty under 1t.

Conflict Of Forces.

The fact that even an audience of seven
ty-five could be gotten together at tiras
when the Senatorial contest was the pre-
vailing topic.and there were several other
things going on, spoke we'll for the inter-
est taken in the lecture given last Friday
night by Prof Lyman, of Forest Grove.
"Cenfiict OF Forcss" was a dry sounding
subject, and many looked for dry lee
turs. Fortunately they were disappoint-
ed Prof Lyman, though q young man,
handled the subjeo. in a manner exhibit
ing good thought, splendid arrangement
and Superior language. The forces in
conflict were gravitstioL. adhesion, mag.
natism, chemical affinity, vegetable and
animal life, intellect, spirit, forming a
pyramid in order named, intellect and
spirit commanding all the rest. As pow
erful as is gravitation, adhesion and mag.
netism, man, by the force OF his intellect,
had conquered them. This fact he illus
trated under the several beads by splen.
didly wordsd examples and well drawn
conclusions, giving facts that instructed as
well as interested, calling for the closest
attention of the audience, Pen pictures
are the most powerful arguments. Prof
Lyman possesses q happy faculty of
drawing them, his lecture being repIete
With illustrations on every point raised.
It is more lectures of this kin1 which the
public need to hear.

That Chicken Thief.

Our correspondent last week at Millers
mentioned case of chicken stealing and said
the thief was formerly of Albany, but aow
of K2ox Butte. A resident of the last
mentioned place resents this, but accounts
for the affair in the following manner
/ noticed communication from MilIers,
dated Feb. l4th, written by ''Scribler, I"
who advises the people to look out for chick
en- thieYes for they are very numerous in
this community. He says one was captured
in Thos Alphine's chicken house. and goes
on to say he was formerly of Albany, but
now Of Knox Butte that he is well known
in the community where the chicken thieves
are SO thick now why didn't ScribIer tell
the people that he was born and raised In
Millers precinct and not try to put him of
for an Alba nyite or Knox Butte chap. The
chicken thief is like the man who got for q
political Office nomination and wanted to
be elected, When he was among Democrats
he was Democrat, and when among Repub-
icans was Republican. While he was
here in the vicinity of Knox Butte he behav.
ed himself like gentleman but when he
got back where you say the chicken thieves
are SO thick he became as thicken thief.
Knox Butte is all oats. .lSlgned)

Turned Bar 4 eepers for a Day.

Il is being reported in this city, by parties
at Salem last week, that during Friday. pre-
yious to the last death struggle in the Sena.
torial contest, Messrs Corbets & Failing, Of
Portland, transformed the Judiciary room in
the Capitol into sort of restaurant or saloon,
and acted as their own bar keepers. The
bill of fare as given by those who looked on
was wines, champagne, brandies, chickens,
skes, breads. etc. Cost-nothing. They
we're well patronized. No license was charg-
ed, Even Judge Boise is said to have looked
in and CALCULATED:
"Great Ceres, have C. & F. turned bar
tenders"
The above free champagne and lunch ex.
hibition was witnessed by persons here whose
word can be relied on. 1t gives us an inside
TO some of the tricks of politicians. Nc
doubt Others did as disreputable things, but
this serves as an example of what candidates
for Office will do for influence! 1t will prove
al interesting episode in the great senatorial
fasco.
