A PECULIAR AccIDENT.-This afternoon
Eddie, the eleven year old son of q A
Brown the barber. met with peculiar ac-
| cident. He had constructed furnace and
built FIRE in it, then filling a syrnp can
| full of water he screwed the top ON and
placed it over the FIRE. The boy had not
| yet learned the power of steam. When the
water began to boil there was terrific ex-
| plosion; the entire can and hot contents flew
directly against him as he stood about three
feet away. scalding and scraping the skin
| of parts of his body from his face to his
knees
| DR. Maston was called and dressed the
very painful wounds. While he will proba-
BIZ come out all right theecalds and bruises
are of a serious nature.

plckers at Harrisburg were somewhat excit-
ed yesterday. L G Brown, a resident Of
Albany ut one time for several months. was
arrested on the charge of assault and bat
terry on a grandchild. 1t was claimed he
knocked the 6 year old child down and then
pulled her into tent by the hair of the
head. Eight witnesses testified on the
subject. and Justice Howell after hearing
the testimony sentenced Brown to the conn-
ty jail atthis city for twenty days. Com
! stable Dan McCiain brought him to the city
tins noon and Brown is now playing soli-
tare behind the bars. Harrisburg people
were quite indignant over the matter.

ehusetfs on the prohibition ticket, Was
born seven miles from Corvallis. The
Times says: Brother Banks figured in
Corvallis as lawyer, fireman, night
watch TO the city government, and lastly
he preached salvation free from the
Methodist standpoint. He was also an
ardent lover. In fact he was daisy In
the latter capacity and could love harder
aud longer under adverse circumstances
than any young man that ever snuffed
breezes IN this bailiwick In love affairs
he Was confronted By pistols, shotguns.
old maids and rival swains, but through
II all his star oi fate stood out, and with
such record 1t Is not surprising that
Massachusetts, prohibitionists call for
him to be their standard bearer ia the
coming gebernatoriaf campaign.

same plan. Butter makers who would
command good price for their butter
