RETURNING EMIGRANTS.
rv.nHiil Genual Richard Guenther
of Frankfort, quotes u prominent Ger
man journal, representing tourist and
traveling affair, which discusses the
heglra of emigrant which hu recent
Jy set In from the United State toward
Europe, a follows:
'The emigrant returning via Bre.
men and Hamburg are mostly Bus
Ian, Hungarian and Austrian, and
have paid their fare to their respect
Ive countrle. They are In possession
of considerable means, a 1 shown by
the fact that those who arrived at
Bremen on November 21, exchanged
more than 76,000 mark (mark equal
28.8 cent) In Bremen banking house
for currency of their home countries.
Thl um I only part of their avlng.
as many of them carry with them
American gold and other coin ob
tained at New York, amo arait on
tank in their native countries. It
t has been ascertained that acme of
them have more than 1600 each in
their money belt baga.
"Moat of the passenger will go
again to the United State when the
economic condition there have re
sumed normal shape. They make good
use of this forced vacation to revisit
the old home and relation and to take
ret and recreation after many years
of arduous work In America. The na
tive countries of these Immigrants
have good cause to receive them with
great satisfaction, because they bring
with them not alone very desirable
cash funds, but also a large fund of
practical knowledge acquired and ex
perience gained In America."

Osbourne, wife of the well known
short story writer, and stepson of th?
famous English novelist, has left- her
San Francisco home and Is In hiding
at the home of Col. H. E. Posch, near
Portland. Mrs. Osbourne reached here
Saturday night after a short trip to
New York. While there she discover
ed fhat an allowance given her by her
husband since their separation, ami
which ceased suddenly last winter, had
been orderd stopped by Mrs. Robert
Louis Stevenson. This Information
was given Mr. Osbourne by her at
torney. "I am not Reeking a divorce from
Mr. Osbourne," she declared at the
Dosch home today. "Mr. Osbourne is
In New York at present and we are
good friends. All that Is between us

ONE MONTH WITHOUT 8AUIONS.
The tate of Georgia ha been with
out saloon since the first of January.
Atlanta Is the largest city In the slate
and also I the capital. It has been
without aaloon long enough to fur
nish some Interesting comparisons. In
January Inst year the police court of
that city had before It 13 prisoners.
141 of them charged with drunken-
nM. This was when the city had Its
aaloon.
January of thl year Atlanta had no
open saloon. Last month there were
768 prisoner In the police court, of
whom 64 were charged with Intoxica
tion. It will be seen that the total num
ber of arrest In January of this year
Is less than halt the number of a year
ago, while the arrest for Intoxication
were 80 per cent fewer than when the
saloons were In operation.
It Is sufe to assume that a large
per cent of arrest made for other
causes than drunkenness can be traced
directly to the open saloon and thnt
with no saloons crimes of all kinds
are greatly dlmnlshed.
Of course there Is drinking In At
lanta, even though there are no open
saloons. The stuff Is shipped In t
some extent, hut there nie no open
groggerles to entice the man who can
not control his appetite. Atlanta has
also lost a certain element of her
population as a result of prohibiten,
but It Is an element which Is hurtful
to any city. Toledo (Ohio) Blade.

No Cuewt at Outcome.
So quietly yet earnestly have the
two factions been working today, that
there hs been but little ulterior evl
dence of an election. The many con
veyances representing the various can
didates havo been actively engaged nil
day. What the outcome of the. elec
tion, as far as the mayoralty Is con
cerned, Is a mystery, and the count
of the ballots will he necessary before
even a logical gurus can be ventured.
Both sides nre claiming the victory by
a considerable mujos'.'y. There U
nothing evident to bear out the cumli-
! dates' statements, however.

strictly high grade iewelry in Eastern Oregon. The stock contains a splendid assort
ment of Watches, Clocks, Cut Class, Hand painted China, Rings, Chains and Lockets.
The line of solid and plated silverware Is as fine as can be found outside of Portland.
Buyers will find that never befote have the people of Union county been offered re
liable iewelry at such remarkably low prices. We are notewelers, and do not expect A
to become such. We simply purchased this stock as an investment and in order to
make it a satisfactory one we must dispose of it at once. We have made the price so
low that we believe that within a short time the entire stock will have been disposed
of. A call at the store will convince you that we havemarked prices down to the limit.
