lEniotts and the Imperial Japanese
Chrysanthemum troup, was probably
the most enjoyed Of anything ever IN
Albany, The performing was marvel
from beginning TO end, and interepersed
was some comedy that was full OF spice,
nothing like Crimmins and Gore IN their
oddity act ever being seen here before.
Rnhhy Mack inshis song and dance was
heartily eneored. Tho hat throwing oi
lInnri and Lunndi WAS marvellous ex-
Ihihitiun of skill Among other things |
one Of them threw four hats from the
farthrest gallery onto the head OF the |
other standing ON the stage. The beau |
tiful dog less was brightness itself. One |
feat, that of turning aomersault, waa
fairly done. The performing of the Japs, |
in wire walking, climbing the oblique |
rome, in iuaslery, balancing, eontortion, |
was a revelation, aud one could hardly |
believe their eyes. No such treat In |
that line was ever offered in Albany be- |
fore. As the Japs are experts in their |
business, 80 the lilli0ts on their bicycles |
do acts that astonish; among other |
things one riding the big wheel OF q biz |
cycle, detached. without any support for |
his hands, and ending by riding COM
mon buggy wheel around the stage, and
even jumping rope on II.

orator Strange explodes the llarney coun-
ty census matter In the following manner
fhe state ,nent that the population OF tlar-
ney county Is only 1850, Is wrong. The |
correct humber Is over ssoo, One thous. |
and votes were cast In that county, but not
oyeI 500 were legal. Fully 400 we're I'm |
ported TO vote ON a county seat. The cd
itor ol the ilarncy paper writes me that
the work Is complete aud that the popula-
lalion does not exceed asoo. There has

There has not been particle OF evidence |

ALnANY. SATISFIED Albany business
men show disposition ui fairness Ia their
willingness 10 assist Ia procuring recount
OF the whole state OF Oregon, but the
newspapers OF that city are rather opposed
To making the recount 50 general. They
would prefer that II should not include
/ Albany, for Instance. or Linn county.
That's all right, brethren the rest OF us
won't be too hatd on you when the true
enumeration OF Albany is made known.
Five thousand viii be a very good showing
and YOU need not be ashamed Of Il, Thank
YOU. truly, for the recognition OF faulty
work In the rest Of the ate.-Jourual.
Right here We will remark that the DEM.
ocRAr doesn't believe the faulty work was
principally in Salem. In fact 5000 viii
cover the population OF thai city Any
thing over that Is ~ ercly buster.
4 BurPLE-HeADED PosrMAsrEa.-Som
days ago communication, signed
Camper, !" written at Newport complain
| ing Of miserable mail facilities, in secur-
ing delivery Of daily papers at Newport,
appeared in the DgNocRAr. The ordi-
narily dull eye Of the bufile-headed post
master caught the communication, and,
susprcting a young lady OF Eugene, rs
being the authorize took occasion to talk
in the most insulting and ungentl lemanly
way 10 her about IL. The young lady, III
question, had no more TO do In preparing
or writing the communication. than had
the postmaster himself. This boortsh
conduct Of the postmaster is an additional
proof Of his unftness for the station he
fills, and the people there, IN justice ~
themselves, should petition for hts re-
moyal.
4 IuS0RY BgAR.-one day last week
the boys in Gimbletyille (HilleI's saw
nilll heard pig squealing and upon ex-
animation they found the pig was being |
devoured by large black bear. Messrs |
WIN Herman, Dan Agee, Phil Jones, John |
McCallister, Ed Grimes and Lon Mccall |
lister started out after II. A shot from |
Mr. Agee's rife wounded the animal, as
they traced the bear quite distance by |
the blood with torches, but could not get |
sight Of it again. However, they saved |
Mr. Dan Green's hogs by soaring him |
away. II Ia not often that the bear ever
comes down 80 low in the valleys from
the hills.-Grants Pass Courier.

Az 0LD SToEY. -Four boys Of Glendale
went deer shooting last week and left
one Of their number to watch near a
deer-lick while the other three skirmish-
ed around. They came back together
and while in some short underbrush
their watching companion mistook them
for deer and fired load OF buckshot
into the party. Two were slightly in
jured, but the other was struck on the
knee cap and will probably be crippled
for life.-Evgene Register.
siderable complaint made the DEMOCRAT
Office about parties In different parts OF the
city, in fact a great many, setting their
sprinklers SO as to throw the water across
the sidewalk, compelling lady pedestrians
to walk IN the street. This is great evil
which should by all means be stopped. 1t
is an obstruction OF the sidewalks which
the city afIicials should see 10 stopped, par.
ticularily where 1t is done as a practice,
and not mere accident, as might happen
by an increase Of force In the pipes.
a Goose SToRy.--A commission mel
chant at Portland recently received mum
ber of geese, and when dressing one OF
70 them found So 40 worth Of gold in its crop.
lie made an investigation to see where the
goose came from and found that 1t had
been shipped from Myrtle creek and had
been raised where the Myrtle Creek Min
ing company is operated. This Is the
sworn truth and Is good showing for
those mines where goose can pick up
So 40 in gold at one meal. Register.
