Cutting Down Expenses. Albany seems to be in a bad way financially. In a report of the committee of ways and means it is stated that the present indebtedness! is about $100,000, and that one-third of the city revenue is required to pay interesting charges. The debt is increasing from year to year, and the committee recommends a reduction of expenditures in all departments of the city government. That allowances to the fire department be cut down to the lowest possible limit, and as the city has no funds for street improvements the office of street superintendent be abolished, also those of city surveyor and city attorney.

Albany should study Eugene meth. ods where the city can be conducted two years on a five-mill tax without impairing the efficiency of the fire department and police service, also improving streets and sidewalks whereever necessary. am subject to periodical attacks of sick headache of the worst possible type, and commenced taking Krause's Headache Capsules last summer. They cured it in every instance, and since that time I am enjoying splendid health and have gained ten pounds in weight. Yours very truly, F.

It will be remembered that Orville Simmons was employed here several months last summer investigating the officers of Lane county, by the alliance committee. He came here a stranger, and the action of the committee was severely criticised by many of our taxpayers for employing such a man; and now this man who is in the investigating business will probably be ed in the penitentiary for forging the names this friends to a note.

At least he will be tried on the charge, as the following from the Portland Daily Telegram, of Jan. 17, will show: "Orville H. B. Simmons, was arrested yesterday in Anderson, on a charge of passing a fraudulent prom issory note for $150 on H. G.

Silvay, of this city, in October last, and tonight an officer will go on from here to bring him back. The note was supposed to have been backed by F. N. Nighswander, H. C.

Perkins, J. M. Stafford, W. H. Spaugh and A.

C. Jennings. Immediately after the commission of the crime, Simmons was being eagerly sought for, but he managed to leave the state it seems, as soon as he got the money from Silvay, and all trace was lost of him until yesterday, when the Indiana authorities wired Constable Thomas of his capture."
