Last summer a man answering to
the name of Fl. Ollenbeck, made his
appearance here, claiming to be the
agent of the farmers and merchants
insurance company, of Albany. He
went through the country, issuing
policies and giving receipts. On the
Nehalem he succeeded in getting
some money in this way, and in up
per Astoria also. Some suspicion
having been aroused, the Albany
company was communicated with,
and they promptly answered back
that he was a fraud, and was wholly
unauthorized to act as their agent.
But before this he had given receipts
to JnO. Pumola, VIM. Lindberg, Jacob
Anderson, Andrew Latta and other
residents of upper Astoria. Sheriff
Smith got on his track, and last Sep
tember, heard of him in Eugene, but
before he could be caught the fellow
had got away. He was again heard
of last week, in Portland, and last
Friday deputy-sheriff Hynes went up
there and secured the gentleman. He
arrived down on the Telephone yes
terday afternoon, and If half that is
alleged can be proved against him, he
is good for sojourn at Salem.

deranged if brought near. The energy Of
this singular influence varies with the hour

At times of storm its intensity augmen1s

Stories About Plaques.

Ancient literature contains q number of
what may be called fables or parallels Illus
rating the ingratitude of man as compared
with the gratitude and faithfulneSs of the
lower orders of creation. Every child has
heard the story Of the piper of Hamelin,"
who, in the year 124S, agreed. for a fixed
sum, to rid the city of the plague of rats. He
commenced piping and was quickly followed
by rats Of every description, which he led
into the river Neser, where they persisted.
But the people refused to pay the piper"
and out OF revenge the performance was re-
peated. This time all the children in the
town were led up to a hill:
When, lol as they reached the mountains side
A wondrous portal opened wide,
AS if a cavern were suddenly followed,
And the piper advanced, and the children fol-
lowed
And when all were in to the very last
The door in the mountain side shut fast.
The story runs that 100 were lost, and for
many years the inhabitants dated all events
from the year of the calamity. From this
one would be led to believe that the story
was founded on fact, and that the improba-
BILE incidents were dovetailed in by some en-
thusiastic chronicler. But the story is mere
ly another version Of an oft told tale, for
which the biblical story Of the plaques in
Egypt was probably the original foundation.
The nearest approach to the Bible story Is
the account of the plaques at Torch. First
it was ants that threatened to destroy every
thing, and, after all possible remedies had
been attempted, the offer of a hermit piper
was accepted. He charmed the little Great
ures with his music, and led them all into the
river. The promised donation to chapel
was not Forthcoming, whereupon the hermit
piped again, and this time he led ell the hogs
in the neighborhood to a watery grave.
Next year crickets were the plague, and
charcoal burner undertook to destroy them.
He charmed them into the water, but the
reward being withheld he drowned all the
sheep. The third year there was plague Of
rats, whereupon the alleged Hamelin Incl
dent was repeated.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
