Such expressions as "The Coat seoms to tie alright, only
the collar doesn't seem to fit;" or ' I think the back -wrinkles
a little." There is where the average clothier "falls down;" he
doesn't try to avoid the wrinkles in his clothing; he is neglectful of
details. When we sell you a suit of clothes we want your friends to
be able to say
Who's Your Clothier?"

his companions, was thrown to the side

Work was commenced this morning J
on the foundation of the hospital to be
erected by Drs. Ferguson on the lawn
adjoining their residence on the bluff.
The building will be erected under tho
superintendency of Architect C. J. Cran
dall, and will be an ornament to the
town. It will have a capacity for about
a score of patients.
The Boise Statesman says: "Follow
ing the present political status of the
six delegates from Idaho who walked
out of the republican national conven
tion at St. Louis in 1896: Lyttleton
Price, forMcKinleyj Alex. Robertson,
fcr McKinleyj Ben E. Rich, for Mc
Kinley : A. B. Campbell, for McKinleyj
Willie Sweet, for McKlnley; Fred T.
Dubois for Bryan. Fred ia flocking all
by himself.
"I cast my first ballot for Abraham
Lincoln," said H. Horn, itn honest and
respected German-American of Thomp
son's Addition, to me huomci.e man
this Iniorning, "and no one has been
able to convince me that I should not
volo this vear for McKinley, as I did
four years ago. Some people have very
short memories. They forget the lour
years reign of poverty and idlene-s and
free soup. 1 don't. The last lour years
have been the most prosperous in the
history of America. I am going to vote
to let well enough alone. The Times
Mountalncer says the Germans are all
going to vote for P.ryan this year. Tell
tho Mountaineer mn tho Germans are
not fools, and that they are just as much
opposed to Bryan and the 1(1 to 1 idiocy
aHhey were four years ago, and a little
more so."
In a public speech to thq republicans
at Wilbur, Wash., on the evening of
September 14th Congressman Francis
Cushman was interrupted in the course
of his remarks by a niiuer recently from
Wardner, Idaho. While Cushman was
talking on the labor question this man
walked up the center of the aisle and,
holding a paper aloft over his head, ex
claimed: "I'll tell you what this re
publican administration Hd tome. This
Is one cf those permits issued to miners
in W.irdner. They made me hold up
my hand and take an oath before they
would permit me to go to work!" Quick
as a flash Cushman replied : " Yes, my
friend, that is exactly what that tame
republican .administration did to me,
Before they would let me go to work as
a congressman they mtdo nic hold up
my hand and take an nath to support
the constitution of the United States
tin I the laws of my country!" At this
point the applause was fo gro.it that the
tration for not going to war with Great
Britain on behalf of the Boers. All the
rest relates to local matters and is con
demnatory of the acts of republican
commissioners for rescuing tho county
from a condition that was brought about
by a populist board, during whose reign
(he credit of the county was reduced so
low that this writer was often compelled
to sell county warrants at 50 and 55
cents on the dollar. In lees than six
months after the Klickitaters had fired
the populists from office the republicans
had the county on a cash basis, and it
has remained in that condition ever
since.

A recent issue of a Dawson pspcr has
an account of the finding of a C)in by a
onplc ol miners fourteen feet below the
frozen surface .f tho earth and under
neath a live foot layer of solid ice. The
coin, according to the account as given,
is in almost perfect condition, although
all the evidences 'point to the fact that
it has lain there for countless centuries.
It is covered with hieroglyphic) that tire
absolutely unintelligible to several ex
perts in that line to whom it has been
submitted. It was found in Big Skook
urn gulch.
H. C. Gordion left at this office today
two apples of the British Columbia va
riety, one of which weighs eighteen
ounces. They were grown on a tree set
out three years aao. From the same
tree Mr. Gordion filled two boxes of
three tiers and sixty apples to a box.
They are of a rare variety here, but are
very much thought of by the owner.
A vote was polled on a Southern Pa.
cific traio recently as a result of a wager
between two prominent citizens of
Southern Oregon as to the relative num
ber of McKinley and Bryan men on the
train. The result was very interesting.
It showed that of the 177 voters on the
train 110 would vote for McKinley and
01 for Bryan. As many of those on
board the train were Oregon people re
turning from the fair, it is perhaps a
fair test of Oregon's political opinion.
The examination of Meade Hughes,
who is charged with aieault with a
deadly weapon, took place today before
Justice Brownhill. In the absence of
Me ssre. Menefee and Wilson at Condon,
Senator E. B. Dufur appeared for the
state and Ned Gates for the defendant.
The result was the binding over of
Hughes to appear before the grand jury
in the sum of f "50. In default of bail,
Hughes was remanded to the county
Jail.
Pell Simison, a stockman from Monu
ment, Gilliam county, had the misfor
tune to get kicked by a horse yesterday
evening which ho was unloading from
the Dalles City on her arrival here. Mr.
Simpson had taken a band of horses to
Fortland and was bringing back a few
that ho was unable to dispose of to ad
vantage. The animal kicked Mr. Simp
son in tho abdomen, causing great pain.
He was able to walk to Drs. Ferguson's
office, where Dr. E. E. Ferguson attend
ed him during the night. This morning
he was removed to the Umatilla House.
Although his temperature was abnor
mally high this r.iorning. Dr. Ferguson
anticipates no serious results.
The hospital to be erected by Drs.
Ferguson will be to all intents nnd pur
poses a public hospital as far as the pub
ic are concerned. Patiente w ill not be
restricted to the treatment of the pro
prietors, but may employ any physician
they choose. The building will be
rushed to completion as fast as it is pos
sible to do so under the existing scarcity
of carpenters. When completed it will
be furnished with the best modern ap
pliances and will be up-to-date in every
respect. Dr. E. L. rcrguson is some
what annoyed at an impression that
prevails in some quarters through a
mistaken local newspaper paragraph,
that the hospital will bo a sort of eye
and ear infirmary. This la a mistake.
Dr. Ferguson makes no r retention of
being an eye specialist. If he has a
specialty it is that of surgery. At the 1
Rn?h Medical Colli gc, of hich he m n
resident ot St. Helens, was found sitting
on a sidewalk last night by Mr, Wettle
in a most demure condition. She is
well nigh an hundred years old and hail
bten visiting relatives in tho High Prai
rie country, Klickitat county, when ehe
wus thrown from her pony and sustained
a deep gash In the forehead, a severe
bruise in the side and a fracture of the
wrist. She had come here to procure
medical treatment, and, at the time Mr.
Wettle found her, was almost exhausted.
Her case was reported to tho night
watchman, and she was furntthed lodg
ings for the night in tho city hostlery
and had her Injuries tenderly attended
to by a local physician. Mrs. Joseph is
nearing the century mark. She is the
mother of three children, all of whom
have gone long since to the happy hunt
ing ground. One of them had his thaoat
cut by a St. Helens' white man some
years a;:o and her husband joined the
silent majority almost a score of years
earlier. She boasts that she was once
rich enough to own twenty ponies
which, at about $2.50 a head, innt have
given her, among her tribe, the social
standing of a plutocrat.
An Important Detlxlnn.
lion, with which the play abounds, and
from the way The Circus Girl caught
, on last night there is a safd prediction
i f a 'big house' engagement.
"To follow the intricacies of the play
would rrquire a brain overendowed
iin gr.iy matter. Domestic ami mari
tal relations are portrayed in complicat
ing situations, as would result from just
such infringements as Arthur Humming
top an I the circ;is girl were indulging
in. U. A. Graham, as Arthur Hum
mingtop, proved himself biuiiei! to be a
thorough comedian of the Dixon tvpe,
self possessed and exact. His efforts
met with the hearty approval of the
large audienc. ManJe Sutton, in the
title ro'e, was chic and pretty, ber scene
with Joshua, In the latter part of the
second act, leing particularly clever.
"During the course of the play Maude
Stanton sini;s a catchy rag-timer, and
little F.i mile and Flos.iie Keeler do an
artistic Cakewalk.
An important land-grazing cise has
been decidtd by Judge Han ford. It
affects the stockmen and shipowners
of Yakima and Klickitat counties dl
roctly, and those using the railroad
lands in every section of the Northwest.
The Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany brought suit against Jan es Cun
ningnam, a slieepman, and ai-ki d lor a
perpetual order restraining him from
herding sheep on the unfemjed lands of
tho company. He i-et up a defense that
he had no way of ascertaining whether
be was on government or railroad lands.
The court ruled that he must not use
the railway company lands tnd that ho
was responsible for not securing the in
formation as lo ownership.
The case is regirded as a test of the
rights of graziiig-men on the open lands
of the deserts and mountains. The
sheepmen naturally feel uiuch'aggrieved
over the situation, and some of them
e:iy their business is ruined. Thoss of
the thinking men have expected this
ruling and tho closing of the forest re
serves, bs they know the general gov
ernment ia not so paternal as to furnish
them free range when the farmers must
purchase and fence their farms. Some
w ill buy lauds and sow to alfalfa and
grasses and pasture their sheep on their
ow n farms. This is the legitimate re
sult of the country being settled and
will be the cauae of enhancing the value
of lands, making better stock and more
comfortablv-situated farmers.

exhibits. These were Prinz & Nitechke.
M. Z. Donnell, I. C. Nickelsim, II. Her-
bring, C. F. Stephens, Andrew Keller,

It may be mentioned that the queen's
robes will be furnished at the expense
of the fair commute ; but they will be the
property of her majesty after the fair
