ANOTHER CHAscE.-~An exchange says
A new fountain pen especially adapted
TO the needs of the sharper has been In
vented. Having selected his victim and
made all preliminary arrangements, Mr.,
Sharper writes out 4 very innocent look
Ing agreement with nm Ink that fades
readily. Then by u simple and imper-
ceptible motion he turns on another Kind

tim and gets his signature IN permanent
ink. When the agreement fades out O

| Job Ii done. For time this pen will
have rs iniieh work 10 do hi the city ~
In the country.
THE Journal IL the only paper In the
county that publishes the Iiat OF claims
allowed by the county court. In other
states this publication IN ordered by law
and paid for. and 1t saves the county
more than Ii costs. We believe the people
want this and SO we print it.-salem
Journal.
The DEso~.Ar has been doing that for
the last twenty-five years, aud the result
was that when new law provided for
the publication Of all warrants there weru
none TO a. gertise.
EyERYTHNo FuIL.-There Ii not room
In Albany for even o small news store.
Everything Is occupied. There should be
twenty-five new store rooms Of different
sizes erected NJ once this spring. On the
ist of April the urcgon Bank will begin
tearing down the wooden structure on
their First Street lot, preparatory 10 the
erection Of their fine new building. AW
Irwin and w r Kuhn now occupy II, one
with confectionery and the other news
stand. Being unable % secure other
rooms they will be Obliged 10 go 10 some
other place where vacant rooms can be
eecnred.
How 10 DO IRA horse started 10 run
away from near the 81. Charles Friday.
A DKMocRAr man, who hardly knows q
horse from COW yelled whoa In gentle,
soothing kind Of way, bat the animal
kept right along down toward the
| thFuuged part OF the city, alive with men
mad after business. A farmer, who
knows all about horses, rushed iuriously
| In front Of the rapidly advancing beast,
swung his arms Ike a windmill and
yelled whoa like thunder so as 10 startle
Judge BoiHe In the court house, and the
horse simply wilted, and stopped like =
colliding train. That's the difference be-
tween an editor and horse man In stop
ping hoFses.

| A stapE.--A land slide at Kipharts dc
layed the train few hours. Jack Young
the news man, on board. gives yer,
graphic account Of tide affair. According
10 his account the train was crossing
trestle when II began to ereak and trem
BILE from the land slide. The enginee
and fremen trembled and jumped. Nc
Quaid, whom everybody knows, was o.
the engine, and cried like Tom Sawyer

clear back shot the train safely over. !

I great allowance, and we suspect 10 one {
