New York advices 10 b. w. Hunter &
Co. state that Liverpoors action was bet
ter than expected and that the American
markets should have opened up at least .
points. but selling orders were III the
market and the feeling bearish on account
OF the clearing weather and anticipation
OF a freer movement. The opening, there
fore, was at "A decline of aGi3 points. the
market ruling dull but steady at the de-
cline during the entire session and cover
Ing the narrow range of points.
Receipts for Saturday, Monday and TO-
day were over 10000. which added to the
easiness I'm the markets on this side ana
at Liverpool, the latter responding TO the
lead from this side and closing 2-6ic
lower.
Political disturbances at home and
abroad and labor troubles seem likely TO
occupy the public mind and viii likely af-
ford opportunities for more active mar
kets. which is particularly desired just
now in cotton, and IL does seem that any
interest IN the staple must add to the
value of prices. The market looks like 1t
might decline a few points further but
on amy such break it ought to be safe
enough purchase for a turn. It's OLD. out
has been quite profitable for the past two
months, and we again repeat the oit given
advice. Buy on the breaks and sell on
the bulges.'

DR.. C. S. Wattam is known to be
very conservative man and does not
take kindly to innovations Of any kind
His friends, therefore, were greatly
surprised when few weeks ago they
found that he had succumbed to the
bicycle craze, and astride wheel was
making the daily rounds to his pa
tents. At first he pedaled very slow
ly, carefully and cautiously, so that
even had he taken a tumble he would
not have been seriously hurt. With
each succeeding day, however, his
speed increased until now he bids fair
to become ''scorcher." His success
has lent courage to other prominent
men in the city, and next summer
Messrs. Grindeland, Easton, Taral-
seth, Lamberson, Barnes, Ed Whit
ney, and others may be seen riding
astride wheel. In this connection
we are reminded Of the bicycle expe-
rience of Mayor Ostrom 2 couple of
years ago. He was quite an enthusi-
asst of the wheel, but soon lost all in
terest in it, for the reason, it is alleged,
that, owing to it, he became the best
customer for pants that the Peoples
Trading Co. had and the two drug
stores had difficulty in keeping up
their stock of court plaster as long as
he rode the wheel. Now he walks,
! just like the Sheaf man has to do.

DIED..

Judge l.. r. Lakin died at his home
in Boxv;lle last Friday morning, a.
ed about so years. lie was suffer-
er from Bright's disease. and during
several*"months past he had been
confined to his bed most of The time.
His remains were taken for inter-
ment to Carrollton, Illinois, which
had been the scene OF the greater
part OF his active life. There he had
won his greatest successes III the
arena OF politics and the domain OF
business. During a long series of
years he held the Office of county
clerk. About fifteen years ago liz in
vested in farm lands in this county,
and since he has spent most OF his
summers here looking after his fi,le
farm in town of Boxville. During
this time the people here have learn
Ell to know him and to love him.
Judge Lakin had many excellent
qualities of mind and heart, which
made him friends wherever Ile went.
AS citizen he was public spirited
and enterprising. Last spring he
and family moved here with the in
tention of making this their per1na-
nent home. the Judge, doubtless,
had hoped to spend many quiet AMI
happy days on his fine farm, but
Providence had ordained otherwise.
On last Friday afternoon his re-
mains were escorted to the dept from
the home by the Masonic brethren
OF this city, Mrs. Lakin and her
daughter Jessie and son Jordan az
companying them to Carrollton,
ILL.,, the former home OF the decreased,
where they were finally laid to rest.
The funeral was conducted by the
knights Templars and WIS very
largely attended, for the Judge was
a very popular man. His wife. three
daughters and a son, many relatives
and a host Of friends mourn his de-
parture. To the bereaved f,,mily
this community extends. it's heart
fit sympathy in their nffliction.

When life wuz tastin' bitter, m the dregs

IN how she's ben so patient with my

A-coaxin' of me back to whar the better

rams of last week have raised the river so
that the locks at Oregon City are closed,
and traffic on the river stopped between
Oregon City and Portland. The Albany
did not make her regular trip on Tuesday,
but she is loaded with flour, at Fishers
mill, and is all ready to start, at this
writing, when she can get through the
locks. The steamer Hoag came down
from Boonville with load of wheat, for
the Benton Mills, and will go back for
another load. Traffic on the river is
booming, and if they could take away
the grain fast enough at Yaquina, two
boats could not do the work.

THE Poor BoY.-Don't be ashamed,
my lad, if you have patch on your ell
bow. Il is no mark Of disgrace. 1t
speaks well for your industrious mother.
For our part we would rather see dozen
patches on your jacket, than hear one
profane Or vulgar word escape from your
lips. No good boy will shun you be-
cause you cannot dress as well as your
companions; and if boy sometimes
laughs at your appearance, say nothing,
my good lad, but work on. We know
many rich and good men who were once
poor and friendless boys; and if you are
poor and upright, you will be respected a
great deal more than if you were the son
of rich man, and addicted to bad
habits.-Ex.
