STREET CAR COLLIsION.-One of
the street cars on the horse car line
was badly jammed up yesterday
afternoon by a collision with lum-
Der wagon. A new driver was on
the car and miscalculated the room
required for his car, and the result
was the car struck the hind wheel
of the wagon and broke in one side.
Some drivers of heavy wagons on
the streets seem to think it an impo-
sition to give a street ear the road to
pass. Light vehicles, from fear of
damage, are more ready to give way
to the cars, which cannot go except
on the track, over which they have
a right of way from the city for a
passage without molestation.

THFPREsIDEST's DAY AT SALEM.
The Country for Leagues Around VIII
Send It's People hsre-An In
surpassed Celebration

Salem is having her holiday attire
shaped and fitted, and will wear il
in right regal style pn the 5th of
May when offering a welcome greet
lug to the chief magistrate of the
nation, In which pleasant duty
Salem's $4,000 happy people will be
Joined by countless thousands from
all parts of this county, Yamhill aud
POLK. There will be an immense
assemblage here on that day, as
there are hut few persons who do
not feel proper pride in seeing and
hearing the man who has been
raised by his countrymen to the
highest place of honor within the
gift of mans civil power-the presi-
dency of the United States.
To satisfy that desire. the people
within reach of here for miles in
every direction must come to Salem,
as there will be no other opportunity
between Albany and Portland.
Salem is preparing for this. Not
only will there be a hearty welcome
for President Harrison and party,
and strenuous effort to make their
visit pleasurable to them and credit
able to the city, but every arrange
ment possible viii! be made for the
comfort, convenience and pleasure
of those who come to participate IN
the ovation.
Mr.. Harrison will be the third
president by whom Salem will have
been honored, Rutherford b. Hayes
and General Grant 5eing the other
two. So it is not new for our city to
receive such great dignitaries and
there will be nothing to prevent
the most admirable success of this
occasion.
The complete program is not for
mulated yet and it would not do to
anticipate, but it is safe to assure the
reader it will be us full of enjoyable
entertainment as the limited time
will permit. The central figure of
interest ond observation will be, of
course, the president, Of whom all
will get good view, but it is hoped
to pleasingly interest his eXcellency
and all other visitors with the local
surroundings. The bands will be
out with most cheering airs, the Ma
tionaI Guard in colors bright and
gay, the old veterans with whiten-
ing locks and measured tread, the
sons with their patriotic and pater-
nal pride, the Salem fire brigade, the
best volunteer force on the coast
all these will grace the occasion in
parade, while at Il suitable point on
the line of march, the twelve hum
dred children of the city public
schools, and perhaps the hundreds
of pupils attending state, denonina-
tional and private schools, will be
ranged along the street, forming an
unmistakable guarantee to the
president of the nurture bestowed
upon intelligence and patriotism.
Banners, bunting and decorations
will float upon the breeze; flowers
will appear in appropriate profusion;
the artistic genius of merchants and
clerks will be displayed in their
show windows to advantage, and in
all respectsSalem will be at her BEST
Do not miss this pleasant event.
Prepare to come TO Salem on the
5th, and join in the welcome to the
president.

Bill Nye and the Congressman.

"Once", said Bill Nye the other night
to a circle of friends, 81 had the mis-
fortune to live in the same block with
a congressman. In that tneighborhood
there were a number oflittle boys, who
had the habit OF ringing door-bells and
then going away. After we had put
up with this for quite awhile the con-
gressman and / held a convention.
And We resolved that we would put an
end to this ringing of bells if we had to
throw the boy who did it any distance
twenty miles-and that we would
bring the boy back and embalm him.
Well. one night shortly after this con-
versation there was a strong pull at
my bell. suspected who it was and
dashed out just as Twas. 1t was very
dark. could hear the boy running
away, however, and pursued the foot
steps. When had run about half a
block thought it would be a good
plan to GO the other way and catch
the boy in front. So turned and ran
around to the other side of the block.
Pretty soon could hear the boy COM
| ing the other way, painting through the
darkness. Ipaussd, and opened my
arms wide to embrace him as he came
on. / succeeded. Then l delivered
q powerful blow into the bosom OF the
night. Well, we clinched and rolled
over each other on the ground and
gouged and thumped at each other til
the welkin rang. At least, l think II

his mouth and rose He rose, also
and we stood facing each other. W.
gradually recovered our breath. Hi

and more easily reached. When h.
finally spoke Iheard the congressman
