THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12. 1894.
Wednesday,
Dec. 12th,
We will commence
Our Annual Fall
Sae.
As this has been our practice since the beginning of our business,
we offer no apology or give any further reason for this
GREAT SMHSH IN PRICES
This year our sale will be far more important than ever before, as our stock is fuller,
more varied, and owing to our taking advantage of Tariff changes and the business de
pression, allows us to offer more tempting prices. Now is the time to get out your sav
ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger
in size than anywhere else, it looks so because it will buy so much more. Thi3 is not a
sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the commencemant of the year our
stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a
sale of Fresh, Choice and

UP-TO-DflTE JVIEftCHflNDlSE,
Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and Now Offered at Unheard-of Prices.
W'r ur not li;iti.lifl with our punl; th-v arc all ri'ht, for our busings
luring tin prt'st nt year ha l n rxtri'imly satisfactory, Im-voihI any sanguine an
ticipation tt'H might hav formal at it comim-nccim-nt. We thertforo owe Boine
thing to our frieinl ami rutonn rs. aul will eiuhavor to show our appreciation of
their kimlne by giving them an opportunity of f leeting from our stock, goods
at away In-low regular price. A every article in the liotie will 1h market! down
it will Im- imMtxible for u to really until Wednesday. To avoid confusion.
gKxls will W' sold at regular prices until then.
Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, these reduced prices will be of
little service to you. Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to
sjrt'nd it, then reductions are not an inducement. lint if you are like the ma
jority of jx-ople, with just a little money and inclined to make it go a. far a3 pos
sible, then our figures are interesting. We want ji this sale to see how much
more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to.
Terms of Sale, Strictly Cash.

Artltlle Work.
In the Snipee-Klnerely Drug Co.'
window are displayed aome very hand
some oil paintings, done by Mrs. Glenn,
Mr. S. C. Wilson, Mrs. Brigg and Mr.
Inez Filloon, under the instruction of
Mil Holcomb. Mr, lilenn ba fonr
picture, three of w hich are of frnlt,
and one pretty bit of coloring in the
shape of two large rosea. Mr. Brigg
baa one piece only, thowing two orange,
oneot them with the rind lifted, showing
the golden tinted and translucent flesh,
and a banana. Mrs. 8. C. Wilson has
beautiful piece, collection of pears,
and Mr. Filloon two, one of them a
basket of grape and the other a display
of pansiea.
We are not artist enough to criticise
any of this work, but if being true
enough to nature to make one' teeth
water Is an evidence of art. then every
picture in that lot is a gem.
The fair a Failure.
We are sorry to learn from those w ho
have attended the Portland I niversal
Fxposition that the affair Is an utter
fake. It seem that the whole thing has
been turned into a "cheap John" auc
tion house and barkers are everywhere
tilling the building with their Infernal
din. A visitor has no chance to ee any
thing or hear anything, but la pulled and
annoyed until anywhere outside of the
building ia fur more pleasant than any
where inside of it. The Portland expo
sition has always been a hobby with ut,
and we regret indeed to know that it has
degenerated into a scheme for plunder
ing the public.

On motion committee of three was

Thereupon the chair appointed S. S.

A l-oillsion.
There wn a head-end collision be
tween number 22 and 2.1, freight trains,
at Squally Hook at 10:02 yesterday
morning, i'i which Engineer George
Lang received a broken leg and his left
foot and arm were severely burned.
The right leg it broken midway between
the ankle and knee. The accident was
caused by the west-bound train, No. 2o,
being a few minutes late. Mr. Tang
waa in charge of the englnce on 22. Ar
riving at Squally Hook, which ia the
regular meeting point, and not finding
21! aide-trucked there, as It should have
been, he supposed the train wa an-
nuled, and as he had the right-of-way,
did not btop. He had scarcely passed
the switch when he saw the other train
coming; or, as he says, when he first
saw the other train be thought it was
stopped, hut at once did everything to
stop hi own train. When the engines
met that of 22 climbed up on top of the
other, and tang was thrown back and
fell between the boiler-bead and the
shovel-plate, which was turned np.
His foot and arm were against the boiler-head.
Fortunately nothing inside of
the cab broke, not even the water gauge.
Had they done so, he would no doubt
have been scalded to death. As it
was, only lor the prompt action of
Brakeman Miler, who shoveled away
the coal and sawed board into that was
holding Lang against the tire box, he
would toon have roasted to death.
Lang was brought here yesterday and
Drs. Doane and Logan attended to his
injuries. It was indeed lucky escape
for I-ang and time will set all thing
right with him. Four or five cars were
damaged, but Mr. Lang's engine was
pretty badly smashed.
Court Kotes.
Upon the opening ot court thi morn
ing there was quite crowd present, it
being expected that the Savage case
would be decided, and tha crowd made
no mistake. The motion for new trial
was overruled, and Otis Savage, being
told to stand np, was asked by Judge
Bradahaw if he bad anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced upon
him. The prisoner retained his won
derful nerve ti the last. There was just
a shadow of moisture in his eyes, but ho
said, in a firm voice, "I do not know of
anything I can say. It i evident that
a job has been put op to convict me,
and I shall have to take such medicine
as you give me." Judge Bradshaw de
livered a brief, but sensible and pathetic
lecture to him, and vi en sentenced bim
to four years in the penitentiary. He
will not be taken below for a little
while, perhaps not until the appeal is
heard from.
Frank Klein was then sentenced to
eighteen months in the penlteutiary.
William Smith, boy of 1", who
plead guilty to stealing a horse, was sent
to the reform school.
Johnson v. Taylor, sale on execution
confirmed.
Bolton vs. Hhinchart, sale on fore
closure confirmed.
Hansbury vs. Soesbe, writ of review,
argued and submitted.
Breese vs. Taylor, application for deed
from present sheriff on sale made by
former sheriff.
Sei-l motions were set for argn
ment inis afternoon, 'and it i probable
court will adjourn for the term when
these are finished.
