Portland who bought goods recently giving
their notes payable In five years are now
having some fun judging from the follow
Ing from the 7siegram "A gentleman
named Menzle, who lives out on the base
line road about thirty miles from here, ,was
In town yesterday, and he said the notes
that were given SIX months ago by large
number Of farmers around Pleasant Home
are now becoming due. These notes were
given to some wandering persons who
went ell through that section selling goods
IN $3.50 packages. In most every case
those making the purchase were made TO
understand thatthe notes were TO run for
five years and that all that would be re.
quired would be to keep the interest paid
up, but Il seems that some deception was
used, and they we're made payable In six
months. Notices arc being sent out 10 the
parties against whom the notes were drawn,
and they will have 10 be paid. These notes
amount In aggregate to $4,000 and are
held against parties who can III afford TO
pay them, and some will have 10 borrow
money to pay them. While very small
sympathy should be wasted on those who
are imprudent enough 10 be thus taken In,
there are over two cases that are pitiable."
Liam county farmers are repeatedly warn
cd against trusting these wandering ras-
Gals.

ages Of cigarettes from ben Barker. A
small boy traded one Of the stolen knives
to Mr.. Barker; the revolver was brought
back Wednesday night and laid by the door
Of the hardware store. The officers arc
on the track of the other stolen articles,
and they will no doubt soon be brought
In. Mr.. Fred Davis, brother OF Mrs. g.
w. CFuson. who had his leg shot of about
the first of July, Is seriously III With ty-
phold fever. Mr.. A. c. churchhill of.
fered 20 bet $1,000 that Harrison would be
the next president, and held the offer for
several days, but no one would take II
up. Mr. l.. X. Brooks has sold his stage
line from this city TO Sweet Home to Ash.

STRIKE iS THE SAxTtAM.-word was
received In this city last night that another
valuable strike had been made In the Capt.
tai mine, In the Sanllam. The news was
brought by one Of the workingmen who
has been engaged In sinking tho shalt, who
quit work. aud VITO left Thursdar morn.
Ing. The shaft has been supk In the tunnel
alongside The main lead. Two shifts of men
have been employed day and night, with
pump, and the tunnel has now reached
depth of - feet. Wednesday evening the
lead was penetrated four inches, and ac-
eordlng 10 the report, very rich black orc
was disclosed. This Is the very richest
Kind OF orc, and II Il Il actually true that II
has been found, the future of the Capital
mine Is assured. Several days since, be.
fore the strike, Supt. Anglin wrote for
President Wright, and told him TO come
up, intimating thatimportant developments
were expected. A.quantlty OF the ore 10
said TO he az Mehama now, on It's way TO
Mr.. Wright, by whom IL will probably be
received Today. The directors of the mine
think that while the richness of the find Is
probably exaggerated, q valuable strike has
been made, ard one that will realize well
for the mine.-.SfatesHaaa
DR. NouRsR's LEcrURE.-It Is evident
there are only about one hundred thirty
people In Albany who can be drawn out to
even first.class lecture, unless perhaps II
were delivered by some one of world wide
reputation, like Blsmark, Gladstone OF
Tallmage. rhe ore delivered by Robert
Nourse last Friday, was worth listening
TO by crowded house. Eloquent, witty
with mountain of expression, Mr.. Noursc
runs things while ialking,and his audienc,
Is very willing fos rim to do 1t. John Il
Great Britain and Jonathan Is the United
States and Mr.. Nourse knows them both
lie should open the eyes of some among
whom such prejudice exists against tn,
mother country, particularly his remarks
on reciprocity in trade. An evening spen
with DR. Nourse is treat just as rare ms |
he had spent his life on top of Bunker Hi
or In the Kentucky cave, Those who hea
him get twice the worth of their money, o.
four times It ifthey squeeze In on hal
fare ticket.
A r. r. CENTER.--Albany is unmis
takably developing into the railroad cente
OF the Northwest. The building of the AS
toria & Coast railroad is a settled fact.
is anticipated that there Is Eastern none.
at the back of the enterprise, in whicl
event the road Is bound to be continued L
Albany, where It will unite with a grea
trans.continental line East. It will not g
to any other point as this Is the Quite
needed. Speaking of railroads, an effor
should be made to get the Narrow Gaug
into this city. 1t would be big thing 70
the railroad and city. Our Board of Trad
should be agitating these questions, o
rather prying into them.
