FROM Mr. TAnoR-The disciples of Mrs
Williams in Portland think there is TO be
an ascension soon, whereby all the people
are going to be carried up into heaven
Her followers, located in various parts of
the city, are daily working ON their new
white robes. which are made something like
a Mother Hubbard with wing attachments
Their slippers are also made OF white mate
rial, and the head is presumably TO take
care o. itself as there is no ;headgear being
prepared. Mrs Williams followers all say
that she has positive knowledge and indis-
putable proof of the hour of ascension, and
they look with pity and compassion upon
the thousands who have neglected TO become
one of them. and consequently will he left
behind One of their disciples said that
their bodies. that Is. those OF members Of
the faith, are altogether different from or
dinary humanity: that after theircustomary
F.. fast their bodies had undergone COM
plete change and We're composed now Of far
better. purer and more holy material. The
disciple further stated that this ascension
had long been anticipated. that they were
prepared for it. and that their sect would
jus. as surely go up bodily 1T the proper
time as the sun would shine.-Ex.
A SMALL FoRrUNE.-nr II 4 Davis last
week sold the balance Of his hops, about
q. coo pounds. He had previously sold TO
Phil Neis Il Co $500 This would make
100, 600 pounds which at the
current price l6 cents a pound, would
amount to $1,000: an excellent revenue
from IS acres of ground. The price rg
ported by the Eugene and Albany papers
for this last sale Is l4is cents. This Is
a mistake. The hops raised by
DR. Davis are not inferior in quality. and
before and since this sale was made dealers
have been IN Harrisburg Offering lbs and
l6 cents. Just why such an improbable Te
port, should appear in such reputable pa
pers as the Eugene Guard and the Albany
DEMOCRAT. Is dithcult 10 say--hnrrisburg
Courier. The business was all transacted
in Eugene, and the DEMOCRAT took the
Guard for authority, and believes il was
correct.
LEBANON Although this city has Sc
cured, at great expense. an excellent ire
service, the insurance union refuses to re
duee the rates Of insurance, and have even
raised sthe oates ON some. lsar eltsRe1s
should patrouizeA :he home companies. or
carry their own risks.
Atty. Somers returned home yes,erylay
from Portland He reports very favorable
in regard TO the case of the Linn County
Bank VS. the Bank Of Lebanon and Others IN
the t. 5. court, which legal business be
went down to look after. He filed his
answer, and came near getting the case
thrown out Of court
Schacht, Lempke a Steiner. the San
Francisco farm who has bought great deal
of chittem bark here Of DR. Lamberson. r.
Gently made an assignment. with large as
sets and liabilities. Before the finn failed
they had contracted with DIR l4amlerson for
fve tons Of bark. and B F Dodge and Zim
Reynolds are ont near Drain peeling bark
to ill this order. Upon learning Of the
failure. the Or asked the firm if they could
not get some solvent house 10 take the or
der This they did, and the work Of strip
ping the chittem tree still goes on.-Ad-
vance and Express.
CoULDx'T Do IA suit Was brought
in Astoria TO test the righ. Of the city TO
assess and collect tax this year, as was
done By Albany. The Supreme Court
has just rendered its decision in the case,
as follows: NJ Warren, resp, ys II c
CIasly, ct al, app; appeal from Claisop
county. Judgment OF the lower court
affirmed Opinion by Lord, G J. The
court held in this case that the general
law passed at the last session OF the leg
islature providing fora more convenient
mode OF making assessments and collect
ing taxes" had the effect TO repeal the
provisions OF the Astoria charter invest
ing the common council Of that city with
the power TO assess property and collect
taxes for municipal purposes. Under
the provisions OF the general act the
power Of the city in reference to taxation
is confined to the levy. The assessment
and collection of the city taxes now de-
wolves upon the county officers. The
decision OF the court in the state OF Ore
gon VS. Virgin, IA Oregon 365, so far as II
conflicts with the opinion herein is over
ruled.
BETTER Orr WuEouT HM.-Will c
Carlton. of Corvallis, has skipped leaving
his wife behind, and large number ol
debts. On the Goth OF Last June Carlton
was married to Miss Betty Holman, who
had $500 she had saved from schoo
teaching. Carlton run through with
nearly all OF it besides borrowing money
from ether Corvallis people. a few days
90 he came to Albany and has not re
turned to his home. He has probably
left the state. His wife is to be con
eratulated. At the same time the expe
rience should lie warning to young
ladies to know something about wha
they are doing wien they get married.
THE CHAMPION. Postmaster Monteitl

black requesting him to forward his male
to that city, and to Mr. Minnie instead o
to nr Zimple as there was another Zimpl
there. He signs himself champion boo
black of the world, who will ''changel' an.
one for $4,000 cash.
