North Carolina agt McDougall, the man
arrested at spicer for the murder Of his
uncle Conoly, was terminated at Fay
etteyille, n. c., after nearly a two weeks
trial, and the examination OF about $50 /
witnesses. II proved one Of the most /
eventful cases in the history OF that state,
and attracted wide attention, the only
interest in the case in Albany being the
Tact that McDougall was arrested in Linn
county. The jury after being out much
shorter time than was expected, returned
q verdict OF mot guilty"

School LIrERARY.-The literary
society Of the public school held Its regu-
lar meeting on Tuesday evening of this
week. The attendance was a little light
on account Of the bad weather, but the
program was we'll rendered. The pupils
In the 7th and 9Th grades deserve credit
for taking an active interest IN this mat
ter. The question for discussion was
well debated, (which has done more for
the world, money or love-" Of course,
the negative gained the discussion. The
next meeting will be in two weeks.
Why IT DEcLISED-Wheat declined
to SO cents. The decline Is due to the
weakness Of the foreign market and the
scarcity Of tonnage In our ports, which In

higher In Albany than IN Salem, though |
the latter city Is nearer Pertlandl It Is
probably because Albany Is on the Oregon /
Pacific, fact that Is slam on Portland. |
Salem Is not TO blame.
Too Much wIND.-The Barger Bros.
and John Bjgalow, of Eugene, are con-
tractors for the building ofthe G church |
at Sodaville In Linn county. They had |
the frame up and most Of the rustic and |
shingles on when heavy wind Dec. 3 |
blew 1t down. They put on more men
and had got the frame up again Monday, |
the 9Th, when the wind again ieveled It TO
the ground. They do not propose TO give
up and are tackling It for the third time
Guard.
Bob Johnson, of the Corvallis Times, has
! received the following poem from an Iowa
friend
So here's to Iowa, Bob,
A state that's democratic;
In 'o7 yell be there too,
And make It more emphatic.
We've got the enemy on the run,
For tall grass they DID scatter;
And now they're trying to figure 1t out,
But can't tell what's the matter.
