firing of guns and pistols, the beating of
drums and blowing of horns. The
racket lasted for nearly- an hour and
then quiet reigned till morning. .
A Uaccessjal Firm.
One of the most successful and enter
prising business firms of this city is that
of Maier & Benton. Four years ago
they opened a small grocery store on
Second street and by close attention to
business and fair dealing their custom
rapidly outgrew thoir accommodations
so that they were obliged to move into
the large and commodious quarters in
the Gates building, corner of Third and
Union streets. . Here they keep every
thing that can usually be found in a first
class grocery store and are doing a large
and prosperous business. ' Not content
with this, however, a short time after
the Are they purchased the tin and
hardware stock of A. Bettingen and
opened out at the old Bettingen stand
on Second street. It was a fine stroke of
business foresight, and the result has
justified all their expectations. Here
they practically stepped into a business
already made which their eminent busi
ness capacity and accommodating man
ners have vastly increased, till today it
ranks among the leading houses in the
citv. Everything usually found in a
first-class tin and hardware store can
be found here. The visitor will find the
large floor of the store building literally
packed with stoves and ranges of every
size, description, quality and price to
suit the needs of the trade. Among
these we noticed magnificent. Empire
wrought steel and other ranges from $20
apiece up; a fine line of Argand base
burners and other heating stoves, from
43.50 each to a quality that would grace
a palace ; and every variety and size of
Eastern and Oregon-made cooking
stoves. On the one side is an extended
range of shelving filled with shelf and
building hardware, cutlery, plated ware
in knives, forks, spoons and carving sets,
on the other an equally extended range
of tin and granite ware. The firm
makes a specialty of plumbing. This
part of the business is under the man
agement of Mr. Benton, who is a skilled
workman,, and is furnished with every
modern convenience for carrying on this
branch of the trade! . Pttent water
closts, tanks, plunger closets, Philadel-
I phia hoppers in fact, the best' of every
thing in this line is kept in stock and
furnished to customers at reasonable
living rates. The tinning department
another important feature of the busi
ness, ia under the management of an ex
perienced tin-smith, who is furnished
with every facility for the manufacture
of new goods or repairing old onts. At
the time the firm bought out Mr. Bet
tingen they intended to go out of the
grocery trade entirely and confine them
selves to their new business ; but the
grocery business kept growing so rap
idly that the firm concluded to continue
in it and have placed it under the man
agement of H. A. Bills, for many years
the verv accommodating assistant of
George Ruch. - Maier & Benton are both
rustlers and we predict that a very pros
perous future awaits them. :

passed pleasantly, and just before the
old, old, wooden cuckoo clock of the
olden time called out the last hour of the
old year of 1891, the guests were ushered
out to an elegantly spread table, laden
with the choicest viands, and were
seated at the board, in remembrance of
the recurring seasons, the closing of a
fruitful year, the salutations of the
happy new year and'a wish ' that the
host and hostess' happiness might be
multiplied as the years rolled on.

It was but a morning since a iww
fangled fire escape was tried on one of
Portland's highest buildings the man
who looked like a small boy at such a
distance lighted a cigar buckled " the
steel tape onto a belt around his waist
and stepped out into space from the
seventh story. There was a sizz amd a
snap the tape had broken down, down
he came, and while the -. spectators
turned their heads and the police
hurried for the ambulance he struck the
ground and taking off his hat he said;
Ladies and gentlemen I ate Bread made
witn compressed yeast, also Tucker oats
for breakfast and saved my Hie, and
turning away he said John Booth the
grocer keeps both of these.

"Of course it hurts but you must grin
and bear it," is the old time consolation
given to persons troubled with rheuma
tism. "If yon will take the trouble to
dampen a piece of flannel with Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and bine it on over
the seat of pain your rheumatism will
disappear," is the modern and . much
more satisfactory advice. 50 cent bot
