VIM. Scott was recently pardoned
from the penitentiary where he had
been sent from Yamhill county for
ten years. convicted of killing bis wife,
on circumstantial evidence, did not
return to his home, as the feeling In
Yamhill county is very.bitter against

elsewhere.
We take following from the Guard:
A pedler went over town recently
selling a patent article. Among the
many who purchased was the wife Of
a merchant. One day when he went
home to dinner his wife informed nini
what nice thing she had bought
She then learned that her husband
had them in his store for sale for
year, at half the price she paid for
hers. When told Of this she said:
"Well, why don't you advertise then.
Nobody ktnpowslt,'
! Chief Of Police FL. P. Miato filed
complaint in the recorders court
against W. Ellis, William Nevels and
Alex shephard charging each with
frequenting saloons, tippling houses
and as parties who have no visible
means Of support. They were brought
before Justice Edes who suspended
sentence till 10 a. m. Saturday to allow
the parties to get out Of town. This
action was taken in order to clear the
saloons and streets of the lot of worth
less fellows, who have no other busi-
ness than to loiter around the town q
meadance to society. The Chief Of
Police will see hereafter that all such
characters leave the town immediate

was reelected principle for the coming
year and Miss Fannie Griggs, Mrs.
Funk and Miss Abbie Fry were elect
ed as assistants. All Of the old teach
ers were reelected with the exception
of Miss Carothers, who has accepteda
position in the Albany school. As
cording to our opinion the directors
could not have done better in their
selections. This will make the eighth
year Miss Griggs has taught in our
public school, and Mrs. Funk's third
year and Prof Miehener's second year,
and while 1t is Miss Fry's first year
here, she has given the best of salts
faction at other places where she has
taught.
| Herald: For several evenings about
nightfall young man of this city has
attracted attention by mounting and
walking over the topmost steel string
ers of the big bridge across the VIII
amette. The name of the acrobatie
gentleman is Carl Bender, and he
seems to take this foolhaldy evening
stroll at that dizzy height merely for
pastime. Last night he not only
walked over as usual, hut stood upon
his head OH the narrow rail on the top
of the bridge. A few evenings since
he attempted to stand upon the ball
at the pinnacle of the steel lace work,
but his foot slipped, when he caught
himselfjust in time to prevent drop
ping into the placid waters of the
willamette nearly 100 feet below
Some small boys have begun to emu
late his example, and have recently
been learning to walk the hand rail Of
the sidewalk Of the bridge.
