ELECTION REVERSED. "Dry" Forest Grove Ceases to Be a Town. Forest Grove, Ore., Jan. 10. The city election yesterday resulted in a com plete victory for the license ticket, and as a result Forest Grove will prob ably soon have a legalized saloon for the first time In the history of the city. S. N. Johnson, the new mayor, was; elected over his opponent, Walter Hoge, of the anti-saloon ticket, by a vote of 174 to 143. The remainder of the li cense ticket was also elected by sub stantial majorities as follows: B. H. Laughlin, C. W. McNamer and John Cornelius, councilmen; P. G. King, recorder; W. S. Hudson, treasur er, and P. W. Cronln, marshal. This Is the first time since the found ing of the town that the voters have ever given their assent to the licensing of a saloon. Last year the temperance ticket won by an average majority of 10 and the change of sentiment is due to the failure of the officials to sup press the Illegal sale of liquors during their administration. The mayor-elect, Mr. Johnson, when seen tonight gave out the following statement: "We have been elected by the people with the clear understanding that a saloon will be established. We shall consider It our duty to carry out this policy and arrangements for granting a license will be made as soon as prac-itcal." Miss Irene Johnson is able to be out after being confined to her home for a week with a sprained ankle. Miss Huntington of the Stevens, wh has been ill for a week, is Improving and expects to be out soon. T. B. Elmer leaves this morning for Port Gambel, where he has accepted a position in the mill at that place. Albert Carlson formerly of the Bee Hive returned to Astoria Sunday even ing and is assisting Mr. CopelanJ In taking stock. Sickening 8hivering Fits of Ague and Malaria, can be relieved and cured with Electric Bitters. This is a pure, tonic medicine; of especial benefit In malaria, for it exertf a true curative Influence on the disease, driv ing it entirely out of the system. It Is much to be preferred to Quinine, hav ing none of this drug's bad after-effects v fl. Munday of Henrietta, Tex. writes: "My brother was very low with malarial fever and jaundice, till he took Electric Bitters, which saved his life. At. Chas. Rogers' drug store; price 60c, guaranteed. Of Music But the Same Old Song CHAPTER I. Ah me, but things do change. Less than four months ago the Astoria clothing merchants had a fit and said what a deucedly unpolite fellow this Paul Strain was because the poor man claimed to be selling CLOTHING at 12 Price. Twas no such thing, they all said, he sells noth ing but Trash, etc., etc., and it was true a pity 'twas, it was true. Yet people would bite, and if they got bit in turn, whose fault was it? CHAPTER II. As is customary at this time of year, every reputable store has a Genuine Clearance Sale! and the only way a sale can bo conducted on the square is to take off a reasonable discount from regular prices, except when an article is dam aged or entirely out of style, when such article is offered at any old price. But the STRAIN poison had taken root among some of our otherwise conservative cloth ing merchants, and they are making claims which are unreasonable and STRAINED; hence my fight on HUMBUGS. CHAPTER III. If it was wrong for Paul Strain to introduco lower Third street methods in Astoria, it is just as wrong for Astoria clothiers to hire lower Third street advertisers from Portland, who in troduce "fake" ideas under a new mask You, gentlemen, yourselves proposed that we conduct this year's SALE on a reasonable and fair basis; but you didn't mean it hence my fight on SHAM. CHAPTER IV. Now since you've been caught at this trick you must expect a CLOTHING WAR! That Portland professional advertiser can't save you; he is a good enough man, but he docs not know the Astoria people as I do, who have lived 25 years among them. He simply puts on a new mask on old fogy, fake ideas, worn out 20 years ago. I guess you will acknowledge by and by that HERMAN WISE is The Champion Clothing Advertiser of Oregon.
