HONESTY IS THE STRONGEST POINT ON WHICH A REPUTATION HANGS. Mount Hood Negli gee Shirts OLDS St KING OR. WELLS IS IN TO STAY SO DEAL "WITH STOREY, ASD ISO INTENTION TO "WITHDRAW. He "Will Prens KIs Candidacy for Slayor on His Merits, and "Wants Democratic Support. Dr. G. M. "Wells, Democratic nominee for the office of Mayor In Portland, indignant ly resents the Imputation of Mayor Storey that there is any alliance or understand ing between them. Dr. Wells Insists that his candidacy Is sincere, without any of tl'e jobs or combinations the enterprising Independent candidate for the office In fers. In an interview yesterday, Dr. "Wells said, with emphasis: "I have not entertained the thought for a moment of -withdrawing from my can didacy, as was stated by another candi date in today's Oregonlan, nor have I en tercdlnto any alliance or undertaking o any nature whatever with any other can didate for Mayor." It is plain that Storey !; drawing upon his vivid Imagination when he unfolds to eager electors th great drain he will make from the Democrats, and the nominal fight of the Democratic nominee, either. It can hardly be hoped by the Democrat? that there will be any diminution in Mayor Storey's claims, but it may be rossible to convince the Democratic work ers that the candidate of their party Is not an anythlng-for-office man. HAND-TO-HAND TIGHT. Straight Republicans nnd Independ ents Tnllc in the Snmc Sleeting;. A lively time resulted from the meeting held last evening at Fifth and Sheridan streets, under the auspices of Liberty Hct?e"Company. It seemed that the chair man had given forth the idea to straight Republicans that it was a straight Re publican meeting, and the same assurance to some Independents that they were to have right of way. The result was some spirited addresses by conflicting candi date and speakers, which, however, did not materialize Into anything more se rious. Both H. S. Rowe and Mayor Sto rey were invited to be present, but the latter only responded. Captain C. E. Mc Donell, Republican candidate for Asses sor, and Captain R. S. Greenleaf, inde pendent candidate for the same office, were present and contended warmly. Oth er speakers took a fling at respective sidea without serous damage. Mayor Storey started the ball with a characteristic address that was not com plimentary In every respect to the stra'ght ticket. Naturally, supporters of the straight ticket felt that the gauntlet had been thrown dovn, ard they sailed In. Deputy City Attorney W. M. Davie fol lowed in a manner that told heavily on the independents. He handled them with out gloves, and was warming up to h's work like a trained athlete, when Captain Greenleaf Interrupted with something about his being an Independent. This did not change the tone of Davis arraign ment, who thought Independents were In poor business when they sought Repub lican meetings to , get themselves before the public At this juncture the chair liad to confess that the Independents had been Invited, which, of course, entitled them to the courtesies of the meeting. Captain Greenleaf was the next speak er. He devoted much of hia time to an, effort to beMttle his opponent. Captain McDonell, whom he acsumed was Incapa ble of learning the duties of the Assessor's office. The speaker also said Captain Mc Donell had done little as a soldier. This remark brought to his feet a former private In Company G. Second Oregon, Jess D. Bollam, 'who vehemently protest ed against any slurs on Captain McDon ell's record. The soldier called attention to the unsurpassed faithfulness with which Captain McDonell always labored for his men, and the universal popularity he enjoyed at all times throughout the regiment, as well as his own company. Captain McDonell then took the floor to answer some of the charges of the in dependent opponent. He wanted to know If Captain Greenleaf thought now that when he began hi 10 years' term in the Assessor's office he was better qualified as an Assessor than would be Captain McDonell. He also called to Captain Greenleaffi attention many slighting re marks made by him regarding Captain Friday and Saturday Ladies' Tailor-Made Suits At $5.95 Each A timely sale full of Interest to wide awake and prudent purchasers.

McDonell, and wanted to know if ho would own- up to giving expression to them, to which there was an Affirmative reply. In the whole affair It was plain that the audience, probably numbering 50, was with Captain McDonell, for he was loudly cheered at every point. His defense by a private soldier from a com pany not his own was considered an ex cellent refutation of the Insinuations be ing made against him. The straight tick et was the favorite. After the meeting was over, the enter prising Mayor thought to make up for whatever 'he might have lost In the debate by taking the crowd across to the corner saloon and setting up the beer to them. s Royal Blue Serge Suit The real serge, made from fine worsted yarns, firmly woven and dyed with an unfadable, imperishable dye.

A package containing 20 rounds of shrapnel was received by Adjutant-General Gantenbeln yesterday, which Is the preliminary shipment of the new battery equipment ordered some time ago. Gen eral Gantenbeln also received a communi cation stating that the two field pieces had been shipped, together wth the caissons-, limbers, harness and other articles Included In the battery requisition. The guns will be here in a day or two. They were sent from the Watervlelt arsenal. In New York, where the 3.2-Inch gun now used by the Army Is stored. From Rock Island arsenal were sent two carriages with limbers, two caissons and limbers, two -wheel narness and two lead harness. From the Frankfort arsenaJ, In Pennsyl vania, were sent the 20 rounds of shrap nel, weighing WA pounds each, aJJ filled and fused. A few other shells will also arrive with the remainder of the outfit. Receipt of the fine new field pieces will be a great event In Light Battery A. For years the members of the battery have worked with nothing but the two brass Napoleons and two Gatllngs. The Na poleons are both muzzle-loaders, the drill for which Is quite different from handling modern breech-loaders. It Is a common Impression among military men that Bat tery A would have been taken to the Philippines, perhaps with the Second Ore gon. If It had only been provided with modern guns and equipment. This fact will greatly stimulate Intending artiller ists to Join Light Battery A after the or ganization Is raised to the level of the best In the country. The "doughboys," who still drill with the antiquated Spring fields, will entertain a much higher con sideration for the battery when they be gin handling -shrapnel. t - TO CONFER THE PALLIUM.
