r. L. Alexander was taken to the peni
tentiary by Deputy y-Sheriff Phirman yester
day. He was sentenced for two years.
The jury in the case of State of Orego
VS.. J. F. Atwell went down to the Lock
this morning, and returned on the moo
train.
Mr.. M. T. Nolan, the newsdealer, ha
the Christmas numbers of Scribners ant
Hd7Pers on sale, and these are most excel
lent publications.
A cruel, cold, disagreeable Willamette
fog hugged the city this morning until
late hour. This was very dIscouraging t.
people who usually enjoy clear sunshin
and bracing atmosphere.
New pipes are being put In position il
the alley from Court to Union and betweel
Second and Third streets to replace the OLE
mains which burst when the water from tn
new reservoir was turned on.
VIM. Morton pleaded guilty to simple as
sauIt in the circuit court yesterday, ant
was fined $50 and costs. He was indicted
for assault with a dangerous weapon, anC
the jury disagreed on trial of the action.
Last Thursday the water was turned il
the old mains from the old reservoir, and il
two or more instances the pipes burst. We
hope our brother of the ring organ will
have sample of this pipe on exhibition al
his office, in comparison with the cast-irou
pipe which did not break. This is only
far, aud will show the difference between
| the two.
Glacier: Last Friday night an Indian was
drowned in the Columbia, near the mouth
CT the Little White Salmon. 1t seems there
was dance to be given at Williams place
that evening, and the boats went cut from
this side. Indian Peter vas in the rear
boat, though but a short distance behind
his friends, and was thrown into the water
and drowned.
Condor Globe: Charlie Brown, of Ferry
Canyon, met with trightful accident Fri
day, Goth, while returning from Arlington
with load of freight. About mile at
this end Of town his foot slipped while
walking beside his wagon and the wheel
passed over his leg, breaking and crushing
it just above the foot. He was taken back
to Arlington where he will remain until he
is able to come out.
Sentinel: Last Friday DR.. McCully, dep
uty sheriff, took f. Hanshew and A. Fair
banks to the penitentiary at Waila Walla.
As the institution was pretty well filled up
they allowed the doctor to return, which he
did last Sunday. The doctor said he saw
Jess. Alien, who, it will be remembered,
was sent up from here about year ago.
He seemed to be in the enjoyment of excel.
lent health and looked unusually well.
Goldendale Sentinel, About year ago
Mrs. Wilkinson, who was here on visit,
lost purse of mouey-about S56-which
was long since gwen up as '.goner." A
day or two ago Vim. Burgen's little 5-year-
old boy, while playing around the yard,
found 1t and ran into his mother with ''See,
mamma, I've got lots of bits. uowl' Mrs
Burgen, remembering the occurrence of the
loss, reported the find to Mrs. Wilkinson.
Another occasion when Thanksgiving will
be verify.
Albany Democrat: The following is the
exact situation in reference to Albany also,
as well as other points, and it has become
ridiculous. The man who gets up the Ore.
gonian's personals from hotel signatures
making everybody prominent merchants,
should receive some private instructions.
"The Salem merchant IN the Oregonidn'S
personal column is growing to be a great
chestnut. Everybody who registers at a
Portland hotel, from leading minister to
boot black, is reported by the Oregonian as
"Salem merchant"
East Oregonian: A woman who was a
passenger on tue noon train Thanksgiving
day from the east, received u Blessing to be
thankful for III the shape OF little son.
The small stranger arrived after the train
left Caynse, ana although brought into the
world nnuer surh peculiar circumstances,
seemed to take kindly to its new surround
ings. The mother and her husband were
emigrating to this country from Missouri,
and perhaps concluded to add another be-
side themselves to the population of Oregon
on their arrival. Conductor Dial had the
train, and the younster was named Dial in
his honor, perhaps in part amends for the
fact that he was unable to collect fare from
the new passenger.
Sentinel: At the meeting of directors of
the Goldendale Publishing Company the
other evening MIR. Dunbar's resignation as
president and manager OF the company's
paper, THE Sentinel. was accepted, and Mr..
Jos. NesbItt was elected to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Dunbar having disposed of all his stock
IN the company, the election of new pres
ident became a necessity. The stock is
worth hundred cents on the dollar. With
an increasing circulation, its advertising
patronage is becoming somewhat generous,
We are not disposed to boast, but if our
readers could see some of our exchanges
and make comparison, the Sentinel would
not suffer by such comparison in all the
points which makes the paper justified in
the claim of being one among the best local
journals in the state.
A robbery, which for cool daring has sell
dom been excelled, was perpetrated upon
the driver of the Island City stage in the
outskirts of La Grande at an early hour
Wednesday evening. The returns, how
ever, were small. As the train of the Elgin |
branch does not connect with trains on the |
main line, the Island City mail Is trans
ported by hack. As the driver was leaving |
La Grande about 1880, he was confronted |
by three masked men who demanded him |
to throw up his hands. He dId so and they
took all the cash he had, amounting tI hut |
a few dollars. They refused to take his |
watch or anything else of value, aside from
tn y.
Oregon City Is cultiyating art. as will be |
seen by the annexed notice of a "TwIlight |
Club, and the imagination has |
to be largely exercised in such murky at |
mosphere that obscures the willamette val |
ley to conceiye such an idea. That solemn, |
sacred hour, between sunlight and darkness, |
is never realized where clouds and Inists |
hang low on the landscape. and it requires |
the most original creative power to conceive |
that such state of the atmosphere exists:
"A dozen young people, more or less, have |
the Twilight Symphony club |
which meets every Saturday evening for
practice. As may be inferred from the |
name the energies of the club are devoted |
to music culture, both instrumental and yo- |
cal. Ability to read written music disqual-
ifies one for membership in the club, but |
those who have soul for melodious strains,
who are moved by concord of sweet sounds |
and who are inspired warblers will feel en-
tirely at home in the Twilight Symphony
club. When the season gets far enough ad.
vanced SO that all the members catch cold |
in their voices they propose doing some SER
enading. BY the time next spring that the
frogs start to sing the Symphony club will |
have up to its blood and the ravishing
strains that will burden the air will make
us all wish we were there, very there"

There are several cases of measles in the |
