She Wouldn't Swear A gainst Her Hub
"I'n not kiss the book. l didn't bring
me husband here an / won't swear
agin 'im."
Thus spoke Mary Murphy when called
by Justice Stilsing this morning to testify
against her husband, Patrick Murphy.
On Sunday evening Murphy, who is a
one-armed man and has the most vicious
countenance mortal man ever possessed,
struck his wife over the head with a tin
can, infiicting q wound which at first it
was thought would %endanger her life.
This morning the woman was able to
leave the hospital, but refused to swear
against her husband.
"Well do you want to go to jail?" asked
the Justice.
Sure, l don't care for that, but I'll not
swear agin 'im."
She was detained and Policeman Cola
han made the complaint and Murphy was
held for trial.

Pugilistic Cross-counters.

Captain Michael Boyle, of the Knicker-
booker Garden, in Hoboken, is endeavor-
ing to arrange a boxing match or glove
contest for Cal Mccarthy. Swipes the
Newshoy was asked by McCarthy's man
ager If he could stay four rounds with
Cal. His response was:-'If | am guar
anteed 500 I'll stand eight of 'em with
one-once gloves.o
The near approach of the Spider-Kelly-
Chappie Moran set-to is developing con-
siderable interest in sporting circles anent
the battle, and the way the money is
being wagered is enough to insure a good
fight on both sides. Pat Boyle, one of
Moran's admirers, says that If IN of the
Kelly people wan to bet on their man at
even money they can get all they wan of
it from Johnny Dolan, the bookmaker,
who stands ready to stack his roll on
Moran.
Swipes the Newsboy, who is training to
meet Johnny Carey, of this city, has re-
ceived a letter offering him quite IN in
ducement from the California Athletic
Club. Swipes refuses to make known
the contents of the letter, but has wired
a communication in response to President
Fulda.
Cal Mccarthy, of this city, and Jimmy
Hogan, the featherweight champion of
Pennsylvania. who defeated Billy Fer
guson, and who fought a ten-round draw
with Frank Murphy, the Boston light
weight, spared tnree ROUNDS III captain
Boyle's knickerboeker Garden in Hobo
ken on Monday evening. Being quick
and clever and some seven pounds
heavier than Mccarthy, Hogan gave him
plenty of work. :.
Chappie Moran is confident that he will
whip Spider Kelly in their approaching
light. He, however, does not understand
Kelly's ability as q pugilist. He is train
ing daily and frequently takes a run to
Bergen Point and back, stopping en- route
for a plunge i'll Newark Bay.
Cal MCCARTHY has written to Boston,
offering to fight Fordham, the colored
bow, for a purse of only 5000 and expenses,
which will be about $500 more, on con-
dition that the winner take all and the
loser none, the expense money to be for
feited if he does not win.

A Shooting ARRAY.

Near Parker yesterday afternoon
there was a shooting scrape which
might have resulted more seriously.
We were unable to learn the names
of the participants. In that vicinity
resides a young fellow who is very
sensitive over his deformity, he be-
ing hunchbacke The men and
boys of the neighborhood usually
make considerable sport of him.
Yesterday he got mad and told a
man who was tormenting him that
he would get hurt he did not de-
sist. The persistent tormentor was
about twenty-five years of age, and
very strong, and continued hisspOrt.
The cripple went away and prOcur-
ed a revolver and when he returned
the fun continued and he fired at
the joker, the ball entering his leg
and breaking it.

THE CITY OF THE VALLEY.
Eugene a Busy, Bustling City, Rich in
Promise.

Lane county is one of which
Oregon may be Justly proud. Nest
hing at the base Of Skinner's Butte
on the banks of the majestic Will,
lamette, is Eugene, the county seat
which beautiful little city is boom
ing along with other portions of the
state. The late legislature dealt
kindly with her and changed heI
name from Eugene City to Eugene,
1t also gave the State University
great impetus by making the schol-
arships free. The result of this will
be felt with the beginning OF
1890, when the new ruling goes into
effect, at which time the enrolment
will be greatly increased. The
attendance is now good, but will
build up rapidly.
Real estate values there are rapid
ly appreciating and the number of
sales is good increase over former
years. Values are normal and prop
erty is worth every dollar it brings.
One substantial feature is that
many, in fact a majority, Of the
sales are to newcomers who stop
there to live and make their homes.
There is not vacant dwelling in
the city and dozens of new resi-
dences are under course of construc-
tion in all parts of the city.
Among other evidences of prosper
ity, it may be remarked that street
railway company has but recently
been incorporated and will, at an
early day construct line Of street
railway from the depot to the
University.
An ice mandatory is soon to be
and will furnish CONCEAL
ed GOODNESS to the denizens of the
valley, both near and tar. The fac
tory will have capacity of seven
tons per day. A telephone and
electric fire alarm system is among
the contemplated improvements.
There is little doubt but that a
new court house, to cost $50, 900 will
be built during the coming summer.
Therei is also in contemplation the
of several substantial
brick blocks in the early |
spring. That Eugene Is making
grand strides forward is apparent to |
5he observer. And that she is at the
head of a grand valley and backed |
oY as productive country as the
sun ever shone upon none can dis
Dute. Why should she not boom? !
Echo answers, "Let her boom P'
md she boometh.

Tho Peaceful Oregon.

Was there ever lovelier day
than yesterday? Dawn broke and
the first rays of the sun sparkled
upon a white frost, which rapidly
disappeared in the calm atmosphere,
while the sun mounted higher, and
shone the livelong day from the
clearest, brightest sky ever seen.
BY noon the mercury was up to so
and by p. III. to 100 A very re-
markable fact at this season.
Everybody who could get out was
off for the hills of Polk county over
the river. In the translucent at
mOsphere all the mountains to the
east were plainly visible; behind
them JefIerson's abrupt peak rose
up brightly white, while old Hood,
towering over all, seemed as if but
three or four miles off, all the vast
high plateau on which he rests as like
himself, being clothed in garment
of untrodden snow, whose every
fold and wrinkle were outlined with
u vivid distinctness absolutely as
tonihing when the.vast distance is
considered. People from the cold
northwest say they never saw a
brighter sky on the coolest, clearest
winter day.

The evangelistic services of Messrs.

An Important Need.

No part of this state is so deeply
interested in having a first-class
harbor on the Pacific coast, and rail
way communication Herewith as
the Willamette valley. Then all
Eastern Oregon has nearly the same
interest, and one that grows with
every accession to its population.
What a wonderful change it would
make. The first point where a good
safe harbor can be made will become
large city, taking on an inordinate
growth from the very start. Those
who live to see this accomplished
will see wonders in this valley.

Recital Of the Daily DOhgS Compiled From
Various Sources.
Happenings Over the City and News
From the Country.
Nasty.


There is one thing we wish to
notice and hope this will attract the
attention of those whose business it
it to see to it. We refer to the foul
condition Of some parts of some
streets. Aud especially do we refer
to those numerous little ponds
covered with a disgusting green
slime, such as those on Court street
and Commercial, southeast corner
A few wagon loads of dirt would fill
up the depressiOns and perhaps it
would be we'll to mlngle some un-
Stacked lime with the dirt. What
would strangers think on seeing
these abomnable frog ponds close up
TO the busiest sidewalks, week after
week. Another thing-there must
be some broken or leaking pipes or
hydrants near by or else the street
along that block could not remain
such a perfect bog during all these
weeks of dry weather. This must
be seen to. We have limited at it
more than once. 1t is at the request
of many people that we say this.
There are many other places be-
sides that need attention.

Lucky HannenIng.

This morning a lady and gentle
man were standing at the corner of
State and High streets waiting for a
street car to the depot, and while
waiting the lady laid her purse and
gloves on the fence. When the car
came along she forgot the articles
and did not realize the fact until she
had reached the depot. VIM. Cook
of Cooks hotel happened to see the
articles as he left for the depot and
them and took the next car
and delivered them to the anxious
owner. Mr.. Cook was heartily
thanked for his kindness and the
lady took her departure from the de-
pot ma much happier mood than

The H,aYy Travel.

The conductors tells us travel is
extremely heavy just now. Both
north and south bound trains are
loaded, the majority of the immi-
grants, as is usually the case, coming
on second class tickets. Salem and
the velley cities are securing the
bulk OF this influx.

Georgia Minstrels.

The Georgia Minstrels give first
rate entertainment, that we will
say and advise any one who wants
to laugh till his buttons burst off
and his sides ache again to hear
Billy Kersands and George Jackson.
Though the former surprises. as well
as amuses we think for steady de-
lightful amusement the humor of
Jackson is the finer entertainment.
There is comedy in the easiest tones
of his voice. We are nothing if not
critical and will suggest that the
minstrels drop their sentimental
lugubrious songs that have come in
to fashion to please lack-a-daisical
fools and give the public more of
the Old Dan Tucker style of melo-
dies. We are not mistaken. Fash
ion may come and go, but the world
can never see the immortal Jim
Crow and Cool White of our old
mems boYhOod time surpassed.
Those old-time plantation melodies!
All! never can they wear out their
welcome.
