DtscoSrINuED.-The associated press
service received here since the middle of
April by the Daily Herald, has been dis
continued, itproving too big an elephant
for city the size Of Albany. though only
a pony service made up in Portland. MI

will 20 TO Olympia, and the Western
Union office will hereafter close at
O'Clock, the old time, Mr. Humphrey rum
ming Il alone. Tho night service was a
great convenience TO the public, rs well
as 10 the reading public. Our contemp-
oray will now take fourth OF the amount
previously taken, by the United Press
Association, a well managed newsgath-
erer, by way OF the Postal Telegraph
company, which will keep open until .
O'Clock for that purpose. The Salem
Statesman and Astoria Columbian are
now the only papers that are receiving
the associated press dispatches, outside
OF Portland, in the state. The truth is
i takes big patronage and higher prices
Tor advertising than are paid in Albany.
A DESPERATE FIouT.-A warrant was
sworn out in Justice Turnoy's court last
Saturday evening by Thomas Reed as
private prosecutor against Mrs Nancy
Slator. The officers arrested and brought
the accused before his honor yesterday
morning. who on being arraigned plead
not guilty. We will not undertake to re-
cite any OF the facts that led To- the fight,
but suffice IL 10 say that Mrs Slator IL a
tenant on Reeds ranch and that contro-
versies and bad blood had existed be-
e.. Il O.
urday they met in battle array. Clubs
were used very freely, and while Mrs
Slator was badly bruised about the face
and arms, Mr. Reed got an arm and n
finger broken and otherwise badly used
up. Both called physicians to their as
sistancc and their wounds have been
partially patched up, but the law will
undertake to slit out the why's and
wherefores on Monday. Tom
Reed is we'll known in Albany. lie has
probably had more quarrels and trouble
than any man in Oregon.

A FINF GyMSAsIUM The large add
tion being built for the college speaks Of
an improvement that will aid greatly to
the advantage of this splendidly managed
school. The addition Is sSxso feet, and
will be divided into three rooms, one 3ox
7S feet for boys gymnasium; the middle
room, 2SxIs for a wood shed, and the
other 2SxI5 for girls gymnasium. Both
kymnasiums will be well equipped, and
water and sewerage having been in.
trOduced. will contain all the modern sani-
tary improvements that go TO make place
healthy, the old buildings having been
torn down. Miss Moss, the new teacher
of elocuiion, Is an adept at calesthenics
and will have charge of the Young ladies
gymnasium. The Albany College Is pro-
gressive, and this is one of the evidences.

The PAINT MNE.-Ed Herren was a
passenger on the IL o'clock train yester-
f. e. .l,oro,, ,,o.;r.. H.. T. tLo 49,
pose OF looking after the interest OF the
Oregon Paint mine. Friday he received
n telegram from Mr. Miller, mayor OF Leb-
anon, that the citizens Of that place had
raised bonus, in the shape Of a block
Of land in the city's limits, to be given
the paint company to secure the location
of the mill there. At present this struc-
ture is located seven miles above. Ed
will look over the property and il he
deems it suitable viii make arrange
ments for the removal Of the machinery,
ETC., as soon as it can possibly be done.
A car load OF barrels was shipped TO the
mill during the past week to be filled for
a Portland firm who has contracted for
that amount.-Statesman
HALsEY. "A correspondent of the
Brownsville Times says: Halsey is boom
ing. II now has about four hundred in
habitants, and we think it does as much
business as any other little town Of its
size in the valley. Has no salOons and is
as pleasant q town as the country can
boast Of. We have two large warehouses
with immense cleaning capacities. Two
large dry good stores, i J Black and
KoOntz K Lame; three grocery stores,J +
Carter, ii G. Plymate and o Howell f;
two drug stores, G. Gray and Rector K
Co; blacksmith shop, Worth & Standish
wagon and shoemaker, Il Kenshaw
butcher, Taylor Bros; livery stable, J X
Bone. A large and commOdious hotel,
with A Laubner; two doctors, Smith and
Geary; two carpenters, Frisby and w
p Reid; q dentist, DE- Umstead; and jew.
eler, G II VanAllen.
LAND ENoUGm IN OREGoS.-IIotel keep
ers report that their offices are besieged
with a gang Of land sharks from various
sections OF Washington, who are seeking
10 divert the immigration which is com
ing into Oregon. Those who are interest
ed in Portland do not give them much
encouragement, believing that Oregon il
the best place for them, and that there il
plenty Of good land for all comers.-Ore-
gonian. This is the kind Of tune we
ike to hear played, and if the Oregonian
had done it years ago instead Of laboring
30 earnestly for Washington, there would
now be no reason for q dispute as TO
which is the larger state.
NOSES. DIR Rowland, the celebrated
and great animalculist, has his rig ready
for canvassing The Coast in the interest
Of his medicine, really a good thing. He
will be accompanied by Misses Strattor
and Adams, who will give concerts in
public halls, interspersed with scienti
fic lecture by DIR Rowland, assisted by
Mrs DIR Gilbert-Rowland on the subject
of catarrh, illustrated by charts and
paintings. The Doctor has some attrac.
tive posters for the business, headed by q
cute cut of peculiar faces and noses.
