The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1888-11-16
sMokE.-The DEMocRAr thinks all thi,

fussing and yelling and bonfire building
waste. Think of the thousands of dollars
spent In "smoke" just for glori6cation,
while there are ragged knees and empty
stomaches on every corner, and poorly
paid ministers and bad sidewalks and empty
treasures, and so forth, On the other hand
II the present efficient President had been
reelected and we had had big jubilation,
we should have argued like this 1t buys
cord wood of the poor man, kerosene of
the merchent, gives employment to the
laborer, keeps the lucre on the go, II didn't
cost anything anyway,was all won In bets,
and II we didn't spend 1t in yelling we
wouldn't give It away anyway, etc., sc.
Really, II Is just human nature for the
rooster to crow when he has whipped an
other one, aud the DEMOCRAT expects 20
have another opportunity four years hence.
VAcciNATE,-Att the meeting of the
City Council the Committee on Health and
Police was authorized to request the peo-
pie of Albany to have their children vac
disease in Portland, and Its liability to
spread. Too much precaution can not be
taken. The following advice Is given !;
"vaccination is the surest and safest pre-
veative. Vaccinate early and often. Live
carefully and do not eat largely of heating
victuals. Keep the bowels In good condi-
ton. The blood should not be kept at too
high a stage The frequent use of lemons
Is recommended cream tartar is also a
good tonic and purifier. The use OF liquor
Of any kind Is not advisable, nor the ex-
cessive use of tobacco, but those who care
for nice ripe fruit will experience no Ill re-
suits.
"JAMEs BRorHERs."--A gentleman
from Millers says the real trouble with
the Cole brothers is that they recently read
the thrilling account of the lives of the
James brothers and concluded to do like
wise on small scale, being we'll imbueS
with the spirit of the daring adventures OF
those famous men that they had list OF
about twenty men, to whom they intended
to send notices TO prepare for "threshings,'
some of which were sent, the plan being TO
mske themselves feared in the community
where they resided. Otherwise, we under
stand they were on good terms with their
neighbors. II this Is not correct we shall
be very glad to give the proper version, II
the parties interested, or others, will hand II
into our sanctum.
ANOTHER LINE.-Another transconti
mental line is coming this way, steering
straight for Albany. 1t begins with the
Illinois Central, going to Sioux City, thence
to Ogden and San Francisco; also branch
ing off for Oregon with view to connect
ing with the Oregon Pacific. In view oi
the many roads coming towards this city
Albany must secure the terminal facilitie:
of this road. II will mean eventually un-
told advantages for Albany.
A Coal MINE.-A Portland paper give,
an account of the discovery of the new
coal mines made on the Santiam nea
Sweet Home, in June. An analysis of the
coal made in Portland, shows 1t to be of ;
superior quality. There is no doub: tina
there is good formation in the neighbor
hood of Sweet Home, perhaps equal to the
Seattle mines. Could the o. a. c. be ex
tended to Sweet Home and the mines b,
placed in the hands of men with capital Il
develope them we might have an industr,
in our midst of immense value. PerhaP
this will be done.
A ToURNAMENr.-Recently the pupil
of the State Normal School at Monmouth
had a regular athletic tournament, consist
ing of sprinting, jumping, etc. The tim
given for 100 yard race was II seconds
1t probably was not less than II seconds
for so yard race, S seconds there is n
one In Oregon, IL in the world, who cal
run 50 yards in seconds. The standing
jump was 9 feet, inches running jum
II feet IN inches, running high jump,
feet inches.
AN IMPORTANT PoINT.-If Albany se
cures terminal privileges on the Orego
Pacific it will mean that this city will be
come one of the leading wholesale place
in the Northwest. The advantage in freigh
rates which it would give to the city wcaI,
be Of inestimabIe value to Il. Our citizens
must not lose sight of the Importance {
this matter.
rKEEP AwAY.-TheC Council last Tuesda
passed a resolution authorizing the Ma
shall to compel all children to keep ava
from the depot during the small pox scar
in Portland and other places, and it Is pro
posed to enforce this resolution.

GOLD DUsT,-A gentleman from Swe
Home was in the city to-day with SIN
quantity of gold dust which he wash'
out beyond that place. He sold II for S.
r. M. French. Some day It will be sold
Albany pounds at a time.
MADE HIM IEsANE.--John Stanton W
