TAYLOR AT HoNz.-The triumph oi
modern surgery was evinced in the arri-
val at his home in this city of II. P. Tay-
lor. Six weeks ago today Mr.. Taylor un-
derwent in Portland hospital . surgi-
cal operation in which 43a inches of in
testine, besides large tnmor we're re-
moved from his abdomen. Yesterday
Mr. Taylor surprised his family by alight-
ing from the west side train 1t the o. P.
crossing and walking TO his residence,
over q mile distant. While he is still
weak and thin from the effects OF the
operation he has q splendid appetite,
suffers no pain, and is in every other
way his normal self, feeling much better
than he has for years, and is assured by
his medical advisers that he is now all
right, and sure of another lease of the
life that would have fiiekered out in an
other month had not the operation been
performed.-Corvallis Times.

A FATHER GIVES THE FACTS


FOSTER, Or, Feb. 81, 1895.
Amonth or six weeks ago l saw in the
columns of your paper an article headed
"Her Pa Objects" to which / made nc
reply and would not had not similar
one appeared in the Capitol Journal oI
recent date and to which l made reply.
Now l want to tell the readers of the
DEMoCRAT how it was. When / objected
to the marriage OF my daughter with +.
O. Russell he asked why I objected, l
told him, first that was going east and
wanted to take all OF my family with me.
and second that he was not sound man.
He was blind once and was liable to be
blind again, and third, that he was re-
publican and we were democrats, and
did not think it proper thing Tor them
10 get married, all things being consid-
cred. Then he asked ii they could get
married at my house and l told him no !;
but if my daughter would go to Missouri
with US and remain there awhile and
then wanted to come back here and
marry him / would not only give my
consent but my heart would be with
them, but evidently he did not want my
consent or good wishes, so / sent him
word not to come 10 my house again un-
til the following Saturday, then If my
daughter wished TO 60 with him she
could 90. The gate would be open and
no one would object, but instead OF COM
ing he went to Albany and had writ OF
heabas corpus issued directing the sheriff
to bring her to Albany and how he had
that writ issued without perjury is more
than I can tell. call it that any way,
for my daughter was never locked mp,
imprisoned or under guard until the
sheriff came Tor her armed with that
writ and the Capitol Journals inform
ant, Mr.. 8. A. Devansy, il liar and a
msddler with other peoples business
himself, and others have been irving for
several years past to get my daughter
married cff 10 suit themselves and the
looked for developments mentioned in
the Capital Journal depends upon their
words and actions.

THE TEMpLEToN BILL VETOED.

The following tells its own story il
very plain language, and gives q result
many will regret on account of sympathy
for Miss Templeton. and yetcandor com.
pels us to admit that the reasoning oi
Governor Lord is probably sound:
EXECUTIVE DEpARTaEsT,l
Feb. %. 1886
To the Legislative Assembly:
This bill, house bill No. 90, entitled,
'an act for the relief OF Iva Templeton
on account OF injuries sustained while
travelling on n public highway in Linn
county, Oregon" The injury was caused
by negligence in not keeping bridge on
such highway in reas onably safe con-
dition for the travelling public. The
claim, il there were any would be In tort
for damages. The bill appropriates the
sum OF 5000 as compensation for the
damages or injuries 30 sustained, upon
the ground that Miss Templeton had
been deprived OF q remedy to redress
them by the Legislative assembly OF Ore
gon. But this Is not 80. for at the time
OF her injury there was no remedy pro-
yiding compensation for injuries Tor neg
ligenee in such cases. To deprive one OF
. remedy assumes that one existed at the
time or after the injury occurred. There
being therefore, no remedy Miss Temple
ton could have no claim for damages
against the state or any Of its sub-divis-
ions, or counties. But Notwithstanding
this state OF the case, she is making .
claim for damages against the state, or,
what is tho Same thing, compensation
for her injuries, because IL provides no
remedy, and the purpose Of the proposed
bill Is to givo her such compensation.
In other words. by this special set, Miss
il TO receive com pensatiou for
a claim OF damages against the state be-
cause it provided NO remedy for negii-
gence in such case. This seems TO be in
conflict with the latter clause of Sec. "a,
Art. 4, OF the constitution, providing
that ''no special act making COM
pcnsation 10 any person claiming
damages against the state shali ever be
passed" But, independent of this con-
the bill establishes q bad pre-
cedent which will prove q detriment 10
the public welfare. II IL, therefore,
against public policy 10 approve such
measures. For thees reasons, much a 1
with Miss Tsmplstsn in her
/ feel compelled 10 veto the
bill. VIZ. p. LoRD.

reduction in the price of lights or water

concessions. Mr.. Allen claims that the

pheasants that had come into his barn
yard and killed couple OF his own
chickens, made wroth for awhile Friday
some of the town sports who have been
to so much trouble to secure the birds
and get them to breeding in this part of
the state. Joe Million, whom some of
the down-the-valley people refer to as
Ashland's handsome pompadour barber,
was rushing up and down the street
with copy of the statutes and waxing
warm as he laid out the lines of the pro-
posed prosecution OF the farmer, willing
to take neither ignorance of the law
nor self defense as palliation for this
violation of the decree of the Oregon
solons. Joe quie.ed down though when
he learned that Leander Neil had con-
cocted the story and told it to him and
one or two others just TO see how they
would take it.

Some talk is being indulgci in at pres

Salem, Albany, Corvallis and Eugene.
II Is not likely this can be done, but
this city, Cottage Grove, Junction and
Harrisburg ought TO arrange for q series

features OF league games. nevertheless
some exciting contests could be looked
for. We think the teams could ees

A THRILLING SIoRY.-Ohaplain Sim
mons gave a recital at the NJ. E. church
last night of s'The Union Spy" to good
sized audience, who listened for over
two hours without blink. The speaker
told of his boyhood career and enlist
ment into the army, OF the first engage
ment at Pittsburg landing, and then in
detail OF his first important service as a
union spy under General Grant. The
narration was one of thrilling adventure
never surpassed in story book, one
that brought out the character OF the
soldier, and told of life not often ex-
perienced. The speakers powers of MINI
icry are excellent and the audience will
not soon forget the expression of the
bibulous but true friend who saved the
spy's life: "rm hoss, I'm mule, I'm
q colt unrode, Pm bad man, amt I

DRcrDKDLY SESsATIoSAL.-Eugene has
a case that is stirring the society Of that
city to the center. The Guard SAYS: For
the past year anonymous letters OF q very
indecent kind have been posted at the
Eugene postoffice and received by many
of the best ladies of this city, The gov
ernment has been untiring in trying to
detect the guilty person. This afternoon
Deputy U. S. Marshal George Humph-
rey of Portland, arrived here on the To-
cal train, and placed Mrs. ]. L. Mcken-
ney under arrest. She is charged by
United States Attorney Daniel r. MUIR
ply, of Portland, with having forwarded
through the Eugene postoffice obscene
letters to the following persons: Mrs.
T. W. Harris, Miss Mae Huff and Mrs.
Mary Butler. 1t is but just to say that
the lady who is accused OF the crime
stands well in the community and en-
phatically denies the charge. Her friends
hope that she will be able TO completely
prove her innocence OF the charge made.
