BECOMES 3ARN.-The old NJ. F.
church building was bought by Mr. b VI
Huston, who has moved II to lot on
Second Street, In the Third Ward, where
he will use Il as barn. We look for
some marked changes IN the lives OF Mr.
Huston and his horses. Iipbued with the
influence of the place his horses will dc
mand spring chickens for dinner, and ai
SIS dozen that will Le an expensive item,
which will no doubt tell on Mr. Huston's
good nature. When evening comes the
animals will want TO go forward, which
will cause a commotion IN the nSighbor.
hood, or else they will seek a cornc sect
creating racket with their heels In r.
membrance of the time when brother
Cameron erected hi. curtains In the
long run, though, We predict .dr Iiuston's
horses will come out the most orderly and
peaeeabie in the city, and wnen odce they
fully get into the situation OF things there
will be no more runaways or rearing
backs.
WoS AGAIN.-Sometimc ago. when the
mining case of Amos Strong, " V Bilycu,
etal vs. E . Smith, was pending before
his Hon Geo Humphrey, ,he defendant,
SmitI., filed a motion TO transfer the case
to Deady's court. Judge Humphrey
overruled the motion on the ground that
the motion had not been filed before trial. |
A general demurrer In the case ha.ing
been argued ana submitted. This was |
taken before Judge Deady, and the matter
argued before Deady's court, last week
Judge Humphrey was sustained, aud the
cause dismissed as far as Deady's court
was concerned. This Is a fine, large, bril-
liant feather in Judge llumphrey's cap lie
thinks II was the most .'iudiciOnsest'
opinion he ever delivered.
A FINE CHUKcH-A DEMoCRAT man
hearing Of the fine appearance of the a
PeaIce Memorial church, at the corner of
Ellsworth and Fourth streets, visited the
same, and was surprised at the beauty OF
the interior. Many pronounce II the
handsomest in the state, south Of Portland.
Not only Is the design a good one, but the
decorations are unsurpassed. displaying
fine artistic taste, not only in the selection
of the paper but in the hand work, con-
ferring great credit on Miller " Hart, who
did the work. The seats are not yet in,
but will soon be placed. Those desiring
to see en elegant church interior should
visit this one.
ASTORIA must send hose team to the
coming tournament to carry away the
prizes smash the records and uphold the
city's reputation OF having the best team
in the world. After carrying away the
championship last year and breaking the
worlds records, Astoria should not sus-
tain defeat at the hands Of the clodhop-
per teams from Wayback.-Columbian.
One of the Waybaek teams will proba-
bly, be from Albany, and il it doesn't
make a bohble, gets the nozzle on and
runs fas. enough win probably win.
CoMPLDIEyTARY.-T Silverton APP
peal gives one Its exchanges the follow
ing deserved little hug:
'The Scio Press is certainly undeserv-
ing the name of newspaper. For two
weeks it has had no news items, and it
looks like horse poster. We are COM
PEELED TO scratch it off Of our list. The
editor Of that sheet is entitled 70 the
palm as the LATEST newspaper(?) man
in the state. Coll, go get move on you
and crawl into hollow log"
A FINE COUNTER. Bank OF Oregon,
located in Albany, have placed an order
with the Sugar Pine & Lumber Co., for a
counter which, when completed, will cost
1900. We all know the lumber in this
piece OF furniture will not cost over 5000,
thus leaving $500 worth Of labor TO be
placed on not TO exceed 5000 worth Of raw
material.-Courier. The new pulpit oi
the A. Pearce Memorial church was also
made by the above company and is q
nice niece of work
ACCIDENT TO FRANK PARToH.-Albany
people will read with regret the following
account Of an accident TO former al
bany man. that happened Monday
"At Waitsburg, this afternoon, Franl
Parton, while driving, had his horses Il
run away while crossing the railroad
track. The buggy was overturned, AM
Parton thrown on the rail, having hi
right thigh, besides his head aud bod.
fearfully bruised. He was brought T.
the hospital here this evening""
No REcoUET.-Portland got a black ey
on the matter Of its census, after grea
bluster. Inspector Kruse went all tn
way from Washington only TO TELEGRAPH
back that his Investigations into tn
census troubles indicated that there wa
little cause for complaint, and ther
seemed to have been good count. II
