City Convention.
One Contest Is Probsble-Official
Count Necessary to Show
the Result.
LIGHT VOTE PoLLED

Several hundred of those who regis
tered Democrats the day before failed
to vote yesterday in the Democratic
primary. The result surprised quite a
number of people, as some of the CAP
didates who were thought to be sure
winners were the last in the race.
The result will not be known until
the official count of the Democratic
committee in few days is made.
The approximate result, however, is
known, end shows the following to be
nominated:

Is a Public BenefactOr.

Nothing so lmpresses visitors to city,
favorably or unfavorably, as the appear
ance of it's business houses. The favor
ably impressed visitor, seeking resi-
dence, will remain. The visitor who is
not pleased with the indications of lack
of thrift and out-of-date appearance OF
show windows and displays of goods,
will move on, and discourage all with
whom he comes in contact from choos-
ing such town for a business location
or place of residence
1t needs no palmer argument to satisfy
everyone that the business man who
keeps his store or shop we'll stocked and
neat in appearance is public benefactor.
The increase of business which he will
enjoy will repay him for his trouble and
investment, and his example is, an incen-
tive to a general improvement.
This little dissertation is inspired by
the wide-awake policy pursued by ]. M.
Cameron and the enterprise he has dis
played in providing Corvallis with the
most thoroughly equipped harness max
ing establishment in the state outside OF
Portland. He has spared no pains to
make his place of business attractive.
Last Saturday he received from Toledo,
Ohio, llfe.sized figure of horse upon
which to display his harness. The figure
is life-like and represents beautiful
dapple gray roadster. 1t is 151a hands
in height, and weighs 260 pounds.

"Pickings from Puck"

Group after group Of merry
chorus gir1s with their fantastic
gestures, appear and join in the
merry Ping Pong dance in the
farcial musical offering, "Pick-
ings from Puck" which will ap-
pear at the Opera House, Thurs
day evening, Dec. 18th. The
characters are comic and the
lines are amusing; in fact, a bet
ter vehicle for a display of the
company's talent could not be
supplied anywhere. So much
fun is created in the farce that it
compels people to shrek with
laughter. The musical num-
bers will be popular because they
are easy to whistle. The scenery
and costumes are most attractive
to the eye. The show starts he
with a primitive jingle
and rises to ''inspired nonsense. -

Selected fsr A11-Star Team.

Yesterdays Oregoniar names the
players which in the estimation of its
athletic editor, should compose the all
star football team from the colleges oil
Oregon for the season of 1892. Pilking-
ton, Root and Burnaugh are selected for
fullback, half and center, respectively.
OF Pilkington, the Oregonian's authority
says:
'Bert Pilkington, OF the Oregon Agri-
cultural College, is far and away the
best candidate for the position of full
back. He is big fellow, strong, and
active as a cat, and always combines
splendid head work with his playing.
His work in the Corvallis Eugene game
of this year was ali exhibition in itself
and every contest OF the season showed d
practically the same result. Pilkington
is in class by himself, so far as Oregon
fullbacks are concerned, his only super.
ior in the Northwest existing in the per.
son of "Hez" Brown, the staiwart Whit
man player"
In giving its reason for selecting Root

oO A G, fol. lat back on the all-star
team. the Oregonian says:
Root plays the game for all he is
worth, although corparatively inexper
fenced. He does not possess the ground
gaining ability of Goodrich. but is better
| on interference and tackliHg. His work
in the Corvallis Washington game was OF
very high order, and when the farm
ers" found their chance to carry the pig
skin over the Seattle goal line, Root did
the stunt in very creditable manner,
after series of pretty end runs and tan
dem plays.
1.-The choice of center is hard to de-
termine, as Burnaugh, of Corvallis, and
Mckinney, of Oregon, are almost evenly
matched. Burnangh, while 10 pounds
lighter than Mckinney. is given the
place, although the big Oregon freshman
Is one of the most promising men in the
Northwest. Burnaugh is more active
than Mckinney, has played the game
longer, and for these reasons he is se-
lected."
Nash and Bundy, of 0 A G, are chosen
as substitutes. The Oregonian makes
this comment concerning them:
Mash, of the Agri cultural College,
was out of the game duriug a greater
part of the season, SO no just criticism of
his work can be made.
.Bunoy is promising tackle, and in
another season will shew great improve
ment."

o. A. G. Girls Won.

The basketball girls of the Ag.
ricultura1 College have met the
best teams in Oregon during the
past four years, and have never
suffered defeat. This years S
team gives promise of sustaining
the brilliant record of its prede-
cessors. In a fast game at the
Armory Friday night, the farmer
lasses completely outclassed the
girls from McMinnville College
by defeating them by a score of
22 to 2. The visitors could not
make goal from the field, their
two points resulting from fouls
committed by their opponents.
Coach Viggers is we'll pleased
with the showing made by the
local team. Under his tutelege
they should improve rapidly and
again win the championship.
The players and their posi-
tions are: Captain and guard,
Una Stewart; guard, Myra
Wager; forwards, Ethel Linville
and Ray Smith; center, Edna
Yaeger. The McMinnville play
ers are. Beula Latourette, cap
tain and center; Bernice Abel
and Merle Grissen, guards; Lola
Kims and Ambia Daniels, for
wards; Ena Newanyer and Mary
Jones, subs.

Steamers I'm CoIlisioxr.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 10.-The steamship Powhattan of the Mer- chants and Miners line and the steam boat Priscilla of the Fall River line came into collision off Point Judith during dense fog. Both ships were under good headway. The Priscilla was bound for New York and had a large complement of passengers. The Powhattan had 131 passengers, mostly delegates to the Baptist Young Peo- ple's Union convention now holding in this city. Juan Munoz, a Portuguese deck hand on board the Priscilla, was crushed to death in his bunk. No one else on either vessel was injured. The damage done was heavy.

A young man whose gallantry was largely in excess of his pecuniary means sought to remedy this defect and to save the money required for the purchase of flowers by arranging with q gardener to let him have 3 bouquet from time to time in return for his cast-off clothes.

EIcKNAMEs OUT OF STYLES
It Is Now Counted Almost a Crime to Call Even nm Intimate
 Friend by One.

The present fashion of using the full Christian names of persons young or old, when addressing them, instead of a nickname, a s used to be the rule, is a more sensible thing to do than fash ion usually prescribes, but why it should be caunted a crime for an inti- mate friend, in moment of forget fulness, to revert to the old nickname, it is hard to understand.
 To call her child Bessie" as once she was called, rouses the ire of the parent of Elizabeth" "Anne" brings you up with frown and a sharp re- hinder should you call her Annie, J though you may never, in her case, have learned of the change from the old style. "Will,'' as a rule, doesn't care a fig himself what you call him, but be quite sure his mother does, and will say to you reproyingly: William, if you please" if you chance to call him .'Willie." Two persons who had been close friends had quarrel which parted them for life over ones per- sistence in calling the child of the other "Babe," instead of Gladys ," which was her name.

 According to the Medical Record fair-haired people possess, commonly, between 10000 and 100000 hairs on the scalp, the number being about the same for man and woman. Dark haired people have on an average about 105,000, while red-haired people are said to have only 30,000 hairs.

 The Virginia way of disposing of cases of contempt of court is beauti- sfully illustrated by the action of the judge'who dismissed the charge of con- tempt against clergyman, and after adjournment. thrashed him with dowhfde.

IRON SKULL OF GEORGE HALL.

George Hall, colored man about 30 years old, said to live ill Worcester, can attribute the fact that he is alive to the thickness of his skull. He jumped from an express train at the station here this CMonday) morning shortly after 10 o'clock. and fell di- rectly in front of a slowly moving freight train. He struck with full force on his head and was then knocked from the track by the freight engine. His injuries consisted of two long scalp wounds. The blow on the head appeared to affect his brain and he was very violent when brought to the Birmingham hospital. The physicians say he will recover.
 Hall got on board the express on the Boston & Albany road, which left Worcester at 9:30 o'clock this morn ing. He had a ticket for Webster and when told he was on the wrong train he became excited and wanted to get off. He was restrained, as the train was going at forty miles an hour and did not make stop between Worcester and Boston.
 Just as the train was approaching South Birmingham, Hall got up from his seat and made rush for the door. Before the trainmen could prevent him, he made flying leap. His body turned over in the air and he struck the ground with terrific force, directly in the path of an approaching freight.
 The express train was stopped as soon as possible and crowd of pas sengers and the trainmen went to where the body of the man lay He was believed to be dead, but when help reached his side Hall was con scious and moaning with pain Sud- denly and without warning the man started to fight those who went to his assistance and he fought with all the fury of madman. The excitement was intense and it required four men to subdue the injured negro. He was finally strapped to stretcher and taken to the hospital in the ambulance. The train was delayed at the station nearly an hour.-South Birmingham Dispatch.
