The Chronicle is the Only Paper in

Press Dispatches. - .
The italem Itoard of trade hns taken
up the matter of providing belter roads
for Ha ron county. 'Petitions are being
signed in all parts of the county urging
the court to levy a 2-inill tax to build
good gravel roads under contract. Pity
some similar steps have not been taken
here. There is a stretch of alleged road
between tl is city and Long Warifs that
has been calling to heaven for the hist
- twenty years Uwt something might be
done different from Slimmer following it
every spring. It is a road the improve
ment of which is of immense interest to
this city and county. Two or three
mills added to the tax levy, and judic
iously expended on this and other roads
that deuia::d attention would scarcely
b3 felt and would LeneDt the people im
mensely. ' Such work has got to be done
sometime and the sooner the better.
There is no greater tax on the farmers
than bad roads. If the county court, when
making the tax levy for the current year
would -add a little on behalf of our
county roads we believe the tax payers
ought not to complain about it.
Archdeacon Farrar o:' London says
that he will give $"00 for proof of a single
case, in the church or out of it, where
a person has been cured of intemper
ance without practicing total abstinanee.
This means says the Denver Sun that
the Archdeacon's observation- ; teaches
-him that the person who has fallen or
drifted into the habit of drinking to
demoralizing, disgraceful or dangerous
excess can never tone himself over into
a quiet, moderate, decorous drinker
again. He must continue in his ex
cesses or not driuk at all. He must give
. up the pleasures of the wine "table and
the social party as the price of safety.
There are doubtless others whose obser
vations will corroborate the Arch-
" deacon's conclusions, some may oven
con li mi it by experience.
Senator Peffer has introduced a bill
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
. to issue treasury notes to the amount of
$100,000,000, the notes to be loaned to
people of Indiana on mortgages upon
their lands. There is not the least likli-
hood that such a bill will ever become a
law.
Frames for Pictures.
. Oil paintings should be framed in gold,
- silver or bronze. A frame of white and
gold is best for a water color, while en
gravings and etchings . look .best in
frames of natural wood, either polished
or varnished, bat never gilded. Photo
graphs can be framed in natural wood
or modest fiat gilt or bronzed frames,
, according to the subject and the tone of
the picture. Soft gray or cream tinted
mats are the best for pictures in general,
throwing the picture back from the
glass and softening the effect, but tinted
mats may occasionally be used. A dark
blue mat, when the picture is bine in
tone, or a wine colored or rarely a sil
vered or gilded one, may be very effect
ive, but should only be used cautiously.
. The frame for an oil painting should
never be flat, but always thicker at the
" outer edge, to throw the picture back
and increase the perspective in which it
is best seen, and harmonize it with the
Walls. Sometimes an oil is of modest
coloring and . low tone, and is most ef
" fectively framed in dark crimson or dull
bine velvet, the pile of the velvet soften-
' ing the picture yet imparting lumi
nous and rich effect, which the glitter of
a golden frame almost wholly absorbs to
itself. -
Water colors are often harmoniously
framed in tints which carry out the deli
cate prevailing color in themselves, es
pecially in landscapes and marines. - The
mat can often be the palest tint of
cream, pink, buff, atmospheric gray or
sea green, while the frame itself may re-
" peat the tint, with delicate lines of gold,
or 'be made of simple white and gilt
.molding. Harper's Bazar.
Blown Out tf His Office.
Mr. Nathaniel Paige,"the lawyer, had
a remarkable experience during the re
cent storm. He - was sitting at the desk
in his office on the 'second floor of the
Corcoran building, and at the southwest
corner, when the storm broke;-. The door
opening into the main hall was open,
, ' but the door connecting with a small
, . anteroom was closed. The upper part
. was of glass. The strength of the wind
.. broke in the corner, windows, and, pick
ing Mr. Paige up bodily, carried him
through the- door, and with the frame
hanging around . hini deposited bin out
in the main hall, " fifteen feet distant.
He was not-cut by the broken glas nor
hurt in any way. Washington Star.
A SUCCESSFUL FIRM.
A Itrlef Account of a Dalles Business!
House Its Growth.
Few persons unacquainted with .this
city, have any idea of the amount of
stock carried and business transacted by
some of our larger business houses. Few
would imagine that we have houses in
this city that do a laige and profitable
wholesale trade with other business
houses extending upwards of 200 miles
into the interior. .Yet such is the fact
as the business transactions of the firm of
Snipes & Kinersly will testify. ' This
firm commenced business on the loth of
January 1879, nearly thirteen years ago.
.The firm is composed of Ben E. Snipes,
the cattle king and banker of EUenaburg;
Wash., and O. Kinersly. They first
bought out the business of H. J. Wal
dron who started in business in this
city in the year 1864 and whom they
sncceeded in the old Waldron
stone building at the foot of Washington
street. Thirteen years ago the business
houses of this city were rapidly moving
away from Main street and following the
procession Snipes & Kinersly moved
into their present quarters in the spring
of 1880. At that time the upper floor of
the building was used as an opera house,
but the demands of a rapidly increasing
trade ordained that pleasure should
yield to utility and the-opera house be-,
came transformed into part of one great
warehouse occupying three floors,-each
thirty feet wide by one hundred feet in
length, or an area of 27,000 .square feet.
From the very first the firnNf Snipes &
Kinersly took its position as the leading
drug store in the city. It started with
and still maintains every important
element that goes to build up "a success
ful enterprise, such as intense devotion
to business and accomodating and oblig
ing manners onthe'part of the nianag
ing partner whiih leave their impress
on every employe of the firm and an
unlimited capital which enables th
firm to take advantage of the markets
and to purchase" from first hands in
large quantities and on the best terms.
it is not surprising, therefore, that three
registered pharmacists and other minor
assistants jshould find their time so fully
occupied that in answer to a question
put by the writer as to how business was
progressing, one of . them should say,
"We have always so much to do that we
never catch up," or that another question-
as to their, prescription business
brought out the answer, "Wehave on
our files upwards of 53,000 prescrip
tions." ' j .
As one enters this immense drug store
he finds on the right what is' justly said
to i.e tne nnest cigar "show case in Or
egon,'.' a case of heavy "plate glass, ever
so many feet in length and height, filled
with every quality and grade "of cigars,
from the best products of our home
factories to the finest imported Ha van
nabs. Back of this come long tiers of
shelves filled with patent medicines, of
which the firm keeps in stock every
leading kind and buys theuiwTirect from
the manufacturers. Then conies an
otier range of shelves and show cases
filled in every corner with every variety
of druggists sundries. - Still further on
another tier repleted with retail samples
of their-immense stock of paints, oils,
varnishes, window . glass and kindred
materials. An hundred feet of shelving
and show cases on the left are occupied
with drugs and chemicals while the mid
dle of the floor is occupied with a be
wildering variety of artists materials,
studies, panels, porcelain plaques," Jap
anese goods, patent medicines, toilet
requisites and apparently . everything
else to be found within the precincts of
a modern drug store. It the extreme
northern and pf the main floor stands
an immense rack reaching from floor to
ceiling tilled and overflowing with every
variety of wall paper from the cheapest
in the market up to a quality fit to dec
orate a palace.' ' The unoer floor and
fbaseinent are chiefly used as storage
rooms, a walk through them finds
them litterally packed with goods.
Here are rows of boxes and barrels filled
with empty, bottles, yonder stacks of
cases of patent medicines. Further on
heaps of tubs and bottles and cans redo
lent of the flavor of white lead and tur
pentine. Still further rows of venerable
barrels bearing the familiar legend "Old
Kentucky Burbon" or "California Port"
of the still and vintage of 1800 and ever
so many years back. In this corner is a
packing room, in yonder an apartment
filled from floor to ceiling with Mm firms
own proprietory medicines and flavor
ing extracts, and thus one may travel on
for long enough only to find boxes and
cans, bottles and cases, barrels and dem
ijohns and then more boxes and cans
and bottles and cases land barrels, and
deni johns on floor and. shelf and closat
ana counter ana table and gallery till one
turns away with ' the one lingering
m pression that gave , preface to-this
Larticle namely that one who has never
visited the store of Snipes & Kinerslv
could imagine' that outside the me
tropolis of Oregon there could not be"
lound any one hriri carrying- so large
stock of the.
goods usually, found in-
drug store.
The Old and the New. ','
"Of course it hurts but you must grin
and bear it," is the old time consolation
given to persons troubled with rheuma
tism. 'If you -will take the trouble to
dampen a piece of flannel with Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and bine it on over
the seat oi pain sour rheumatism "will
disappear," is the modern and much
more satisfactory advice. 50 cent bot

About Keeeivtnz Gifts.
From the receiver's standpoint all gifts
may be divided into things that we want
and things that we don't want. It "takes
no particular skill or grace to receive
things that we want, but as, in times of
general giving, like Christmas, the larger
part of the gifts we get are things that
we don't want, that branch of receiver
ship is worth attention. The two; ordi
nary reasons for not wanting things are
the vulgar one that they do not strike us
as intrinsically desirable, and the more
complex reason that we dont want to re
ceive them from the particular giver. A'
general remedy applicable to reluctances
due to either of these causes is to keep
strenuously in the mind the happiness of
the giver in giving.
Remembering that, you are delighted
with a trifle from some one you love, be-"
cause it makes you happy to have been
even passively instrumental in procuring
him the happiness of .giving; applying the
same principle, yoa can accept ever so
costly a gift from some one for whom
you care little withont any irksome sense
of obligation "since of course the giver
had the best of it any way, and it is a
great deal kinder and more generous to
sacrifice one's personal inclinations and
accept, than to refuse. Remember per
sistently that by receiving with due grace
yon secure to another person a desirable
form of happiness. Scribner's.
Wedded at Last In u Cotton Patch.
.About a year ago C. W. Strickland, a
young farmer, living about six miles
southwest of Paris, fell in love with Miss
Ida Porter; a charming young lady otthe
same neighborhood. The lady's relatives
objected, but the young folks resolved to
elope. 'Mr. Strickland got a licen3e,-bnt
the issuance of the license was published
in the papers and before a chance -came
to use it the relatives of the lady saw it.
and sent her away to Missouri.
A few weeks ago she came back. Her
relatives thought the affair was ended,
but the young folks still loved each other.
There were some private negotiations of
which her relatives did not know. An
other license was procured, but the fact,
was not published in the papers. The
same minister was engaged again. Miss
Ida Porter? who did not usually pick cot
ton, suddenly became very industriously
inclined, and concluded to help pick out
the crop. She went into the field and
began work. Pretty soon ter big brother,'
not suspecting anything, went to the gin
with a load of cotton, and about the
time he was tjone Mr. Strickland and the
preacher came along, and right in the cot
ton patch tho ceremony was performed
that made the blushing maiden and the
gallaut lover man and wife. Galveston

The Zodiacal Light.
The curious phenomenon of the sfodi
;ical light may now be seen in the early
morning skies a little before sunrise. ' In
this latitude if takes the form of
tion'of an ellipse whose longest diameter
is inclined somewhat from the perpen
dicular, and may be looked for in that
part of .the sky. where the sun is about to
appear.. Its pearly gray light is caused
by the reflection of the sun's rays from
countless swarms of meteors which re
volve about, hini at different distances.
It has recently been suggested that these
meteors are "the medium by which the
electrical connection between the sun
and the earth is established; in fact, that
they play, the same part in the solar sys
tem that the copper wire does in the con
veyance of electric energy from, the
dynamo to the electric lamp. New York
Recorder -
Bidding; Texana to a Wedding.
This morning, an unusual sight was
seen on Brenham's streets. It was a
horseman gayry decorated with ribbons
of every hue of the rainbow. . These rib
bons were hung in clusters and festoons
all over the Tider and horse. The horse's
ears and forehead were covered with a
sort of cap in which, vere stuck feathers
of bright colors, surrounded with rosettes
and knots of ribbons.
The rider was Fritz Wiesepappe, and
questions about his startling decorations
elicited the information that he was the
inviting agent to a marriage a sort of
animated wedding card. His brother,
Herman Wiesepappe, and Miss Bertha
Schultz are to be married next Thursday
at tho home of the bride, in the Post
Oaks, five or six miles east of here, and
ho was summoning the guests. Galves
