Briggs.) A Gathering of the Clans. To-day will again fill our city with the intelligence and brains of the State. Legislators, lobbyists, politicians, candidates for senatorial honors, ladies in search of clerkships, will begin to arrive from lxth the north and south, east and west. There are already a few members of each house here looking over the ground. them are Hon.

W. P. Keady, shaker of the house, 1. R. Lyle of Wasco and Crook, and Senator Siglin of Coos and Curry.

Senator Davenport was also looking around yesterday. Chief Clerk Strange of the senate came down yesterday from Union county and is fixing things up for business in his department. The desks and chairs have all been replaced in the halls, and every thing is ready for business there. The following vacancies will occur in the organization of the body, viz: The chief clerkship of the house, DBUGG -COMMEHCJAL carefully compounded Take ie Ciiica 1ST I 3 go tlie Era JOHN G.

Next door to Ladd Kush's bitiik. i c-jS tJohu At'l'er, a farmer of Howell P. aiii, Jlissinff. No Trace of his AV hereabouts.

The residents of Howell Trairie precinct are considerably shaken up over the unaccountable disappearance of John Mi'ler, a prominent farmer of that section. On the afternoon ol Tuesday, October 27th, Mr. Miller left his home for this city. That evening he disposed of a hundred bushels of wheat which he ha i the Capitol flouring mills here, and presented a draft at the First National bank the next day for the amount. Since then his friends and family have heard nothing of him although they have made many inquiries.

It is iVared that he has been foully dealt with. Mr. Miller came with Ids family to this County in 1875 or '7t anJ purchased farm on Howell Prairie where his family now are ia deep anxiety over his disappearance, lie was a man of industrious habits, and of good moral character, so no other cause than foul play can be given for" his unwonted absence fiom home. Any one who can give a.iy information as to his whereabouts will confer a favor on his family by writing to Mrs. Ievina Mille- at Silverton.

Mr. R. Mathison a-id little Drew were lost in the big bottom opposite town from Saturday at 4, p. m. till yesterday (Monday) evening, without food or fire.

It is a dense jungle of grass and willows, and the suffering of the lost ones was intense. It will be rememiK'red that the weather has been of the most inclement we ever have. Mr. M. was about destitute of clothing when he got out.

He and the boy are resting easv, but are fearfullv jaded. Coquille Grace Hawthorne. There Tonuses to be the largest audience out to witness the production of "The New Camille," and "Queena" that has baen in Reed's opera house for some time. Surely there is no better nor more pleasing actress on the Pacific coast to-day than Grace Hawthorne, and Salem's lovers of the drama may consider her visit as a treat. Her support is said to be excel lent, and will aid much in drawing a good house.

Remember Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and "Wednesday matinee. The box-sheet is now open at Boon's. Chinese Row. A row occurred in a Chinese house on State street about 7 o'clock yesterday evening, and one Chinaman was hit on the head with a club, making quite a bruise and bringing the claret. He rushed out after the officers, who searched the several buildings on that street, but the fellow who did the hitting was out of sight.

The officers were continuing the search at last accounts. It is very difficult to find a Chinaman after any trouble as they are al ways ma away out. ot sight. Si-iter.

The Hodgkix Reception. Not less than one hundred were present at the reception by Major and Mrs. Frank E. Ilodgkin at their residence, 449 Church street, Thursday ni-rht. The evening was stormy and a good deal of rain was falling, but this had no darkening effect upon the brilliancy of the occasion.

Major Ilodgkin and his charming wife met their guests at the door, and soon every one felt at home, and as the throng began moving from one room to the other, each chatting and conversing pleasantly, the sight was very pleasing. The costumes of the ladies were very fine, and the beautifully contrasting shades of color made a pleasing sight in the brilliantly lighted and elegantly decorated rooms. A bountiful lunch was served at 10 o'clock, and after the elder visitors had departed, the floor was cleared for daucing and the young folks whiled away the time until a late hour in the pleasures of terpsichore. This, the first reception or Uie season, has been a social success, and ail who had the pleasure of attending Thursday night extend their heartiest congratulations to their affable host and his charming wife. Postal Cards.

Our postmaster, Mr. Irving, ordered postal cards from the department over iwn months ago, but has not yet received ihera. He has applied to l)Oth CorvalHs and Salem for a loan of cards, but they inform him that they are also completely out of them. It seems the department is behind on the supply of this article, hence the lack. This explanation will inform those who have been disapiointed when applying for cards what the trouble is.

IIerald-Ii-seminator. This is only the result of reform in changing the dies on which the cards are printed. Some time next spring, the postals will get around. FniGitTFL'T Accident. On last Tuesday as Mr.

A. J. Olin, who lives near Shed l's, was riding across a small bridge, his broke through and threw hint violently forward, his head striking on a plank piece of timber at a point in the left eye-brow, cutting a gash from that oint back to the top of the head and then down to the left ear, and tearing the scalp all down to the ear and temple, leaving all the skull in front of the ear and up to the top of the head naked. The wound was a frightful one but a physician was called and sewed up the wound aid the man is getting along all right. Im Queer Bargain.

Our friend M. JKozendorfJ of Ileppner, closes an inter esting letter witii the lollowing item, which he says is an actual fact: "You are aware that wood 13 very scarcearound Ileppner: but potatoes are plenty. I saw a man (Mr. Nelson) make a bargain whereby he is to give one and one-half Kunds of potatoes for every pound of wood delivered on his farm five miles from town and he is to take not less than two and one-half cords of wood. Both parties think they have made a good trade." We wonder what valley jeople think of it.

West Side. Wii.i. Leave. A Chinese merchant said to a News recrter "In six or seven months there will be fewer Chinamen in this city than- you will now believe. Times are better in China now than they have been for many years.

Gold has been discovered in some parts of the empire, and there is considerable railroad building to be done. The government prefers Chinamen who have had previous experience to work on the railroads. The wages paid are $1.25 er day, which is more than they can make in America. The mines will also be worked by Americanized Chinese." Lane County. The ieopleof the western part of Lane held a meeting at Florence lately, and appointed committees to aid in securing the annexation of the Siu-slaw iwrtion of Douglas count3T to Lane.

Hon. A. C. Barbour will present the subject to the legislature. They will also second the efforts of Hon.

Binger Herman in securing an appropriation to make a full survey of the harbor and buoy the channel at the entrance of the ay. If successful, this move will open up a large section of country to settlement which is now almost entirely unoccupied. Salmon at Albany. The salmon have struck us for certain. They are flapping their tails on their way southward continually.

Soon" Oregon City salmon will be an obsolete term to us. It will be Albany salmon, and we will have them fresh for dinner that are caught in the morning. As nenrlv as we enn learn Aneiist T'. i- ri ck with his hook and line, was the first to capture one in the Willamette at this city. It was a two-footer.

About the same time Burr Sloan shot one from a boat that measured three or four feet, but it was a sorehead instead of a steel back, and hence N. G. Democrat. The CimisTi.vN Herald.

a Clara Foltz. This distinguished California lady lawyer and dramatic orator will visit Salem during the session of the legislature. Arrangements are now pending to induce her to give her famous dramatic representation of the. life and character of Col. E.

I). Baker "The old Gray Eagle of Mt Hood." While here cer tainly Salemites ought to welcome the 'Queen of the Rostrum" and this golden tongued orator of the Pacific coast as she is familiarly called in San Francisco, as it was in our city here Clara first displayed her oratory during her residence here several years ago. Mrs. Foltz has since studied law and graduated with high hon ors at tlie Hastings Jaw school amt enjoys a very large, lucrative practice in the higher courts. Leading California lawyers are proud of their 6ister attorney and it is claimed by her friends that she has seldom lost any important case.

Her office on Montgomery street in San Francisco is among the largest and handsomest in the city and contains one of the largest and most valuable law libraries. The Opening at the Rink. Last night the new skating rink at loG-158 State street was thrown ojen to the public. A good sized crowd turned out, and the first evening passed off very pleasant-ly to the skaters and profitably to the proprietor. The skaters were very orderly, and one commendable feature in the gentlemen was that all skated with their hats off.

The music by the II. A. C. band was excellent and tended much to liven up the skaters. The new floor is undoubtedly the best ever skated on in Salem.

This is sure to be a very popular place for the young folks to pass tlie long winter evenings, and the exercise is good so long as a reasonable degree of care is taken not to get overheated and then rush into the cold air. in order to get cool again. Bocght and Sold. Daniel J. Fry has purchased the drug store of J.

J. Briggs, in this city, also all accounts against the same. Mr. try is well known in this city and Portland as a practical and exje- rienceu druggist, ana is a graduate of Philadelphia college of pharmacy. He was engaged as a prescription clerk in the store he has purchased until recently.
