A Serious Runaway

Thursday morning Lewis Fletcher
accompanied by his sister, Miss Ethel
Fletcher and his cousin from Linn
county, started from theirNorth Salem
home in a double seated buggy drawn
by t,am of lively horses, for the
farm of ii. G. Fletcher, located about
five miles east of Salem. When on
the fair grounds road about opposite
the North Salem school house the
party was met by a street car which
greatly frightened the horses. The
driver having lost control OF the team'
the buggy was overturned in dltch
and the two young men were thrown
out of the buggy. The horses however,
soon regained their feet and contin-
ued on their mad race, encircling the
North Salem school house going
thence east to Capital street when
they turned south. At a point near
the residence OF DR.. e. A. Pierce,
Miss Fletcher, the sole occupant OF
the rig, jumped from the buggy sus-
taining very severe III not serious iu-
iuries. Still the team ran adding 10
the destruction of the buggy to which
they we're attached, at every bound
The team was finally Intercepted but
the buggy was completely demolished.
rhe two young men who we're
throw q from the buggy into the
ditch, were more or less severely in
iured, the rig passing completely over
their forms. Though dazed by the
accident they managed TO return TO
Mr.. Fletcher's home, where Mrs
Fletcher was informed OF the runaway.
She Immediately set out 70 ascertain
the fate OF her daughter. She had
not gone far until she met some kind
friends returning with the apparently
| lifeless form Of her daughter. An ex-
animation OF Miss Fletcher showed
that she had sustained the most
serious injury. Both lower limbs were
fearfully bruised and one arm was
painfully sprained. IL Is feared the
y0ung lady sustained internal inJur-
les also. IL Is not thought any bones
we're broken although careful exam
ination OF her Injuries may disclose
fractures.

Mt. Angel College,

The eleventh annual commence.
ment exercises of the Mt. Angel
college conducted by the Beuedictine
Fathers, occurred Wednesday, June
%.
Long before the appointed hour an
Immense throng had gathered with
out the building aGd at the opening
of the program the students were
greeted with a large and appreciative
audience,
Every number was a gem of its
kind. The exercises were opened with
an able rendition of the celebrated
overture "Amozan" and concluded
with an address from Most Rev.
archbishop Gross, in his usual
eloquent style.
The salutatory and valeductory
addresses were delivered in a mastery
manner by Messrs f. j. Fontane, Of
Salem, and w. Leppencott, of Med
ford, Oregon.
Mt. Angel is one of the best musical
institutions on the coast and their
exercises amply attested their right
to the distinction,
The vocal music was exceptionally
fine and evoped much applause from
the spectators.
The instrumental music was we'll
received, especially the quentette
"Peace to Our Nation. Much could
be said of the merits Of this compost
tion, suffice it to say it sustained the
high reputation this Rev. Father has
enjoyed in musical circles.
The drama ga Triumph Of
Justice" though a difficult undertake
| ing for amateurs was creditably
performed and shows that in hlstrl-
mic talent Mt. Angel is not deficient,
The closing address of Most Rev
Archbishop Gross was very appropri-
ate and spoken IN his usual eloquent
style of delivery. In the course Of hi
remarks he dwelt on Catholic educa
tion, the benifits of good sount
instruction, and incidently touched
on the Spanish "A merican war, iu
which he paid a high tribute to the
bravery of our hero Admiral Georg'
Dewey.
After the program was finished th
visitors were shown through th'
building premises.
A pleasant walk up the gentle slop
south of the college brought them t.
the summit of the hill which is calle'
the Butte, where large monaster
and new and better equipped colleg
is under course of construction.
The auspicious aspect of th
weather greatly contributed to tn
success or the exercises, and such
liberal program could not. but be me
with the approval of all.

River is Falling,
Larger Boats Will be Taken
OFF Next Month
River Traffic and Transportation Remain
Good-Lrghter Vessels Will be Added.s

The Willamette river at the Salem
docks is 2.8 feet above low water mark,
aud is falling about 1.5 inches per day.
River men are becoming anxious,
because it is net believed that some Of
the large boats will be able to run
but few weeks or a month at most.
The passenger aud freight traffic re-
main as good, If not better than be-
FORE the water began to fall and ar.
rangements are being made to replace
the heavy craft with lighter vessels.
The o. r. and N. Co. which rms
the Ruth from Portland to Corvallis,
and the Elmore from Portland to
this city believe they can continue to
operate both Of these vessels at least
a month yet, probably longer, after
which they viii put on the GYPSY,
which will be able to make the trip
at low water.
The o. 9. T. company which oper-
ates the Altoona from Portland to In
dependence, has replaced that boat
with smaller one, the Gray Eagle
which is making the runs at the pres
ent stage of the river without diff
Guilty. This company has a hand

tion at Portland. 1t is to be called
the Pomona, and besides being a reg
ular little beauty, is light enough to

treme low water mark
The o. q. and e. Co, are running
the Albany from Portland to Cor
yallls and have so far experienced
little difficulty from low water. The
Company believe they can run this
boat month yet, when she will II

Albany is doing a fine passengol

Everybody is going to decorate

sanguine dreams of the origlnatOrs.

quested to be present.

county, district and legislative Offices
will be filled by the Union candidates

The Oregonian Of June 90 says:
The three. headed dog Of the free
silvgr fusion party has stopped growl-
ing and barking in Oregon. He wears
a weary, hunted look, as If tin ket-
tie had recently been cut from his
silver tail, or as IL the wheat farmers
had been after him with hue and
cry, taxing pot shots at him as
sheep killing canine; but the three
headed dog of the free silver fusion
party is still in full cry in Minnesota,
Michigan and Kansas.
1t is significant that there is no
reference to the Fusion state govern.
ment in Washington. Perhaps the
fact that the Rogers administration
has a $500 reward out for the arrest of
a Republican state official whose
forged state warrants that are just
coming in for payment has something
to do with the Oregonian's omission.
We believe the people of Oregon are
to be congratulated on the following
list Of gentlemen, who stand on the
Union platform, and who will dis.
charge the duties of their respective
off ces in the interest of all the people
and hot of one party, or even Of one
faction OF the Republican party, as
Republicans are expected to do.
The Oregonian will find these Union
officials will average as honest as its
most select brand of Simon-pure gold.
bug Republicanism. 1t will also find
it difficult to persuade these men to
assist any faction of the Republican
party in any plan to conduct hold
up of the legislature. Let the Ore
gonian confine its political epithets
and castigations to the dangerous
elements it has branded as unworthy
for any honest man to associate with.
The Union party is a minority. 1t
may be three.headed or three.tailed,
for ought we know.
But it is respectable compared with
several district brands of Republic
canism that spend half their time
shouting PATRIOTISM, honor and
integrity, "and the other half accusing
one another of crimes that ought to
land them in the Lenitentiary. Here
