AGNES ANNUAL.


A Day of Recreation at ouassaupauE
Lake.
1t took two big buses to convey the
members of the popular Acme club and
their friends out to Quassapaug yester-
day. The start was made at 10 O'Clock
from in front of the club rooms. The
trip out was enjoyable Tom Frenzy
keeping both buses in good humor by
his funny contortion stories. Dewes'
lake house was the objective point, and
when that place was reached the fun
proper began. OF course William the
Conqueror, Billy Leary, was there. He
brought with him his appetite,
also. Bob McQrath, another Of the in
vited guests, was carried from the dim
ing table by friends who feared that he
might contract dyspepsia. William
Bogart and Johnny Harbourne ran a
race in the water. Johpny's feet got
tangled up and he was drawn out with
a fish pole. John II. Curley tried to tell
the boys he could beat the editor of his
paper writing and as a consequence he
was placed in the hands of Mike Cooney
who forthwith proceeded to cool his
ardor by copious supply of aqua pura.
Chris Strobel had his new outing suit
on, but it is not new to-day. He IN
sisted on climbing a tree and was as
sisted by his friends. He collared the
collateral, though, and was happy. Lee
turer Lowell and his whiskers W ere there.
He was too full for utterance, however.
Full of CLAIMS, of course. Frank Becton
is not feeling well to-day. He ate the
wrong end of a lobster. Tom Frenzy
and his big brother Jim both took out
life insurance policies this morning
They are afraid Will Fox tried to poison
them by mixing them a lemonade with
Quassapaug water. Little key, the
choperone of the party, was too full Of
business to get full of anything else
Frank Hodson and Billy Smith tried tc
break each others legs, but only sue
ceeded in running their outing suits
The ball game would be going on ye
were it not that the actor umpire TOLD
the boys to go home. Tommy Madden
hit the ball so hard that it has not beer
found yet, and it so astonlshed him tina
he fell in a fit and was called out by tn,
umpire. At any rate the bows had
good time. enjoyed the banquet from
the skilled hands Of David, and re
turned home about 5 o'clock tired bu
happy.

THE NEW PRISON WARDEN.
Colonel woodbridge WIN Enter Upon Hi
Duties Tomorrow.

Colonel woodbridge VIII Enter Upon His
Duties Tomorrow.
Jabez l.. Woodbridge will enter upon
his duties as warden of the state prison
tomorrow. The board of directors will
meet at the prison to swear in the new
official at about noon and from that
time his active duties will begin.
Speaking of his plans, Colonel Wood
bridges says: First of all, the officials
must be honest, for on that depends
more than one at first might suppose"
As an instance Of the infinite harm that
may arise from having even one dis
honest official, the chief cited the case
of the mdrder of ShipmRn Q number of
years ago. The weapons were fur
nished the murderers, two convicts, by
keeper for bride of $500. By the dis
honesty of this one official, two men
lost their lives, one is in the insane ssy.
lum, a convict for life, and the keeper
is serving life sentence in prison.
The men must be loyal to them
selves, the warden and the institution,
and none but temperate men are At for
the positions of officers of the prison"
When asked whether any changes
would be made, he said: 81 don't know
whether any changes will be made OF
not. In this as in all other actions
shall be governed by conditions and cir
cumstances. II flnd the men suited &c
the positions that they now hold there
will be no necessity for any change
The men may be all thoroughly oompe
tent or they may not be. AS I say
don't know them.

MUST BE RECORDED.
Bills of Sale OF Goods on the InstaIlment
Plan.

DilAE VI SAAc VI NhOous On Ahc AhrAhlihithi
Plan.
The legislature recently passed a law
compelling the recording in the town
clerks Office of all goods bought on the
installment plan and the law goes into
effect to-day. Here is the text:
Section /. All contracts for the sale
of personal property, conditioned that
the title thereto shall remain in the
vendor after delivery. shall be in writ
ing. describing the property and all the
conditions of such sale, acknowledged
before some competent authority, and
recorded in the town clerks office in the
town where the vendee resides.
Section .. All conditional sales of
personal property which shall not be
made in conformity with the provisions
of the preceding section shall be held to
be absolute sales except against the
vendor and his heirs and all such prop
erty shall be liable to be taken by at
tachment and execution for the debts of
the vendee, in the same manner as any
other property not exemptd by law"
The purpose of this law is to enable
general creditors to attach their debtors
property, such as pianos and so on, UNI
less they are duly recorded as sold on
the installment plan. Creditors have
tried to levy attachments on such prop
erty, but the seller would appear and
claim it as his until the final installment
had been paid.

The silver dollar Is as good as gold.
Uncle Sam says when put my initials on
a silver dollar it is as god as gold, no
mstter where you so, and KELLY says
here Is the proof. A few weeks ago ]
went into Brokers Office in this city and
I mt down 25 silver Dollars on his desk,
and told him l wanted to send 1t to my
father in the Old Country, and l asked
him how much they would be worth when
thew got there, aud he said they would be
worth sovereigns or $25 90 in gold; hs
told me the truth, because this morning
received letter stating that l got your
draft which received 5 gold sovereigns
for this morning. thanks, etc.
This knocks the foundation from under
that argument that a silver dollar Is worth
only So csr Is.
silver is the peoples money. One of
KELLY'S reasons for saying 80 is this
Abundance of monev means high wages;
high wages means extravaganza; and it Is
our extravaganza that have made US the
the happiest people on the face of the
globe. For the last IS years our finances
have been governed by the silver dollar,
and If you can find any other country that
have been any more progressive Than We
have we should adopt their method for the
basis of money.
Alne OI1eT TeaSOu luAe CfCAy ooAASA e--0
broker and money loaner in the land
wants the United States to stop making
silver dollars in order to increase their
rates of interest. Another reason why we
shonld coin silver dollars is that it Lakes
ass. 900 900 year to keep mp the circula

10 our population yearly. Take notice
that this is q very important reason now
where the individual, the private cor

STATE PAIR NOTES.
The state fair goes.

The state fair goes.
There will be plenty Of money to pay
| all premiums.
That was decided at the meeting OF
the state board Of agriculture Wednes-
day evening.
Those present were President Apper-
son of Oregon City, Vice President Gal
lowsy Of McAIinnville, Superintendent
Wilson, OF Salem, M. Wilkins Of Co

son Of Siuslaw, David Guthrie of Dali
las, A. F. Miller of Sellwood and q. F.
Moody of The Dalles. The absentees
were McAllister of LaGrande, Holt of
Nedford, and Judge Thos. Davidson of
Salem. Secretary Gregg was present.
President Apperson stated the object Of
the meeting. The premiums awarded
must be paid from the 5000 appTopri-
ated by the state and unless the board
snould have assurance that the warrant
for that sum could be cashed so the
awards could be promptly paid 1t might
be advisable to omit the fair this year.
Wilkins moved that no fair be held
this season and Miller seconded the
motion. Then there was q general dis
cussion of the matter during which
Wright said he had assurance that state
warrants for any sum up to $1,000
would be cashed in Salem for the fair
Allowing for shrinkage of $1,000 there
would still be abundant guaranty OF
getting the 5000 required for premi'
ums. 1t being certain that the cash
would be forthcoming when wanted
the proposition not to hold the fair was
bereft of support and when it came tC
q vote the motion to postpone wa'
unanimously defeated.
President Apperson submitted the
bids for band music at the fair. The
matter had been referred to him but in
asmuch as the board was in session be
preferred to lay it before the body
The Fourteenth Infantry band of Van

pieces for $50 day. The Union Pa
cific band Of Portland, having ffteer
pieces, wanted $500 and expenses fol
the week. The Monmouth band bic
S225 for the week, the SiIverton band
$3.50 and the Salem band $500. The
president expressed the opinion thai
the Salem bid was, all things consider
ed, the most desirable. However, ht
submitted the question to the board and
after some discussion Simpson moved
that the Salem band be employed and
the motion carried unanimously.
The president was authorized to lei
the pool privilege at the race track t.
w. M. Ayres of Portland.
