The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1891-11-20
LOCAL RECORD.

petition to that effect Is being generally
signed. An entertainment will be given
Thanksgiving afternoon by Mrs Tatham's
kindergarten class, In order 10 further
bring the matter more forcibly before
our citizens. The movement is good
one. The kindergarten is the proper
Introduction TO school life. II lays the
foundation for tho best education. IL,
without much effort, advances the
student 10 that when he enters the other
departments he is ready Tor the work.
Mrs latham, who is teaching a success
ful class, Is master OF the Eroobel sys.
tenn, and probably has no superior in
Oregon, even among the best In Portland.
Adepartment under her charge would
be success and would do much to ad-
vance the educational interests OF the
little ones in ALBANY, rs we'll rs In the
county, Tor II is proposed, IL introduced
IN the schools to complete an arrange
ment by which the teachers OF the county
generally may receive instructions as
aids TO their regular work in their
primary classes. In all large cities the
kindergarten is receiving the recognation
10 deserves, and il is safe to predict that
Albany will not be behind the times.
A EuoENE AFFAIR. The Eugene Guard
has the following about well known
Albany young man; Considerable ex-
element was caused about $50 O'Clock !
Saturday evening by couple OF pistofl
shots at the house situated on the corner |
OF Oak and 9TH streets. IL seems that !
Jimmy Fennell, a sporting youth Of the 4
tin-horn persuasion, had been caught m |
very questionable transaction and had 1
concluded TO skip the town. He went to |
the house in question for his clothing, 1
and while there had on alteration with /
the woman with whom he has been con- |
sorting. lie struck her, and she drew a |
revolver and fired at him, making miss |
About that time Nightwatch Witter !
came along and seeing Fennell in fight, |
called ON him to stop, and TO enforce the |
order fred into the air. Fennell stopped /
and was taken in charge by Witter and /
locked mp. He gave bail in the sum OF /
so to answer the charge of disorderly
conduct this morning, but concluded /
that his presence was no longer desired /
IN Eugene, wisely took the precaution to
forfeit bail and skipped on the Monday
morning overland train"
A SERIOUS MATTER.-In its CONNER
clal department the Oregouian says: ain
accordance with wheat prices telegraphed
from San Francisco, dealers have advanced
quotations on valley to s. .6o, with possibly
SI.72 for the choicest. There ;yeTe no /
known sales at this figure, and actual
transactions might reduce the prices or
cents. II was learned during the day that
wheat was selling in Albany at cousidera-
bly, higher figures than on the basis of this
market and this fact had much 10 do with
giving the market its frmness. 1t Is evil
dent that San Francisco Is In the market,
and local dealers are acting accordingly.
Transportation rates by way of Yaquina
are low enough II MAKE competition from
California a serious matter" Wheat was
not selling in Albany on a higher basis,
nor as high basis. About 50 cents, in
stead S6H cents, would have been as high
a basis, and about 90 cents according 10
San Francisco quotations The above
again brings into prominence Albany's
advantages as shipping center.
SOME HARRISBURG BoYs.-One daY at
school last week, two boys, one named
Smith and the other Hardesty, began
practicing the manly AIT Of self-defense,
when Smith. being oVer-maiched was
accidenily hurt, and had Il lay up a couple
of days for Iepsirs. Peace would have
reigned had !, rot been that one Of Smiths
hioihers determined 10 edo up Hardesly.
re hicd intO the presence Of iiardestE
with blood IN his eye, but the way he was !
knocked out in a sew short round would r
have brought forth the hcarlicst applause !
Of John L. 1t Ia this quarrel ,hnt caused
Geo Williams TO display revolver which
acton cost him twenty dollars. As tho
boys are all pupils Of Tie school here the .
direeiors promptly took the matter In =
hand and will do all In their power TO 4
prevent the re-occurrence Of such dis r
graceful scenes, and In this they should c
be assisted by every fchool patron n !

Or PRFvIoUs Coop CHARAcTER.--The c
DEMOCRAT likes to give all sides of diff
ferent questions, hence 1t publishes the fol-
lowing from the Geryais Gazette in refer .
ence to Chas Loudon in Jail charged with {.
being an accessory othe murder of Henry
Ingram: young Loudon has always
borne good character in these parts aud
this community will be slow TO believe ,
him guilty of murder. He was probably ,
trying to get out of the way as a witness
In order TO screen Ingram, for whom he ,
was working, but that he assisted Ingram
in the crime Of murder will be hard for
people who know him to believe"
