&. +. zimmerman, box clerk at
San Francisco p. o., was arrested
Monday for robl'ing the mails. He
has been In the postoffice nine years.
The Eugere Register calls at:en.
ton to the fact that the charter ap.
pelation Of that place is Eugene not

Mrs. Wilcox, OF this city pre-
scented this Office with a turnip last
Tuesday that girts "a! inches and
weighs II pounds and IL ounces. 1t
Is perfect In form. Can anyone beat
1t? IL 50 please rise. - Monmouth
Democrat.
To those who think they can buy
goods cheaper IN some other town
than in Monmouth We will say:
Come here with the same intentions
rs you go elsewhere and you will
find that 1t is to your advantage to
trade at home. For instance, If you
go to Portland you take your cash.
Do the same In your home town and
tell your merchant you have $50 to
500 in cash to spend with him. He
will give you bargains such ns other
towns will not aud cannot do.
Try 1t.

well, Day and Deering removed the
right leg Of William johnson, of Un-
ion. Mr.. johnson was first injured by
horse falling upon him aud break
ing his knee cap. When he had
about recovered a horse kicked him
and broke the same knee cap, and
shortly after this had healed a wild
steer ran over him and broke the
cap again and this last injury never
healed, rendering amputation neces-
sary after several years OF suffering.
We clip this ad from an exchanges:

Oregon City Courier: AS the next
legislature must make the appropri-
ton for Oregon's display at the Chi.
cago Worlds Fair in 1893, it is oi
vital importance to the state that iu
he time remaining before the ses-
sion this subject be thoroughly can-
The sum Of $40 900, deemed
70 be necessary by the state board OF
trade, seems extravagaut. A large
pavilion of wood, creditable to th.
,tate, could Ike erected for $50, 900.
The sum Of $3.50 ought to secure
he daily services Of fiue band and
# the necessary attendants, bes der
,aying the cost of an abundance OF
eafiets and pamphlets descriptive Oi
Oregon, and the freight Of the exhi
tits both ways. The total of these I
wo amounts, $l75. 900, seems u lib
'ral allowance, aud perhaps u small.
r sum will be sufficient, il there is r
10 jobbery or stealing and no exor.
,itant salaries are paid. The tax
payers have To foot the bills, the ma q
oriiy of whom have but limited .
means, and extravaganza would
therefore, be criminal. The Oregon
'avilion will have to be liberal and !
hospitable, but $1,000
vine suppers, such rs Senator Dolph
ives sometimes in Washington, y
'ill not be necessary. G
