Men's Shoes
Men's Shoes
We hesitate not for Congress to decide, but have marked our
goods to please the people. Large stock of ,
DAY.
READ!
Our story is short. We have some Men's Shoes, the regular
retail values of which are $4.00, $5.00, $G.00. The Shoes are
first-class, serviceable, good lasts, made by good shoemakers,
such as Burt & Packard and others of like reputation; but
they are button instead of lace or congress. Now in these
close times can you afford to pass these by at $1.95 and pay
$5.00 for a pair no better, just because they are not Congress.
Perhaps this will not appeal to the ultra-fashionable young
man; but to others that are not sacrificing money and com
fort entirely to style, our statement should have some weight.

"ome Dirty Linen.
The case of which we spoke a week
ago has finally gotten . into the courts,
making its first appearance yesterday in
Justice Davis' court under the title of
the State against F. M. Bean, who is
charged with seduction, committed on
the serial or to be continued plan, and
extending over a period of three years.
Justice Davis had insisted upon the pri
vate prosecutor putting up the costs be
fore he would entertain the action, so
that when the district attorney moved
to dismiss the action the court proceed
ed to collect the costs from her instead
of making it a charge on the county.
Last night the case took a new turn,
being re-opened in the IT. S. commis
sioners court, Mr. Bean being again the
defendant and charged with opening a
letter belonging to another. This mat
ter was tried before Commissioner
Huntington last night, the court being
in session until 11 o'clock, at which hour
it adjourned until 4 o'clock this after
noon. ,
The whole matter belongs to Multno
mah county, if it belongs anywhere,
which we . very much doubt, and the
whole dirty washing should be sent
there for renovation. . .

She Will Pay Her Debts.
The election yesterday in Klickitat
county, Washington, was held to decide
the question of validating the county in
debtedness. It seems the county has
issued warrants in a sum greater than
allowed by the constitution, it being
necessary to make the issue in order to
carry on the affairs of the county. Re
ports from six precincts indicate that
the debt has been validated by a large
majority. The vote in these precincts is
245 for validation, 37 for repudiation.
Unofficial reports from White Salmon
indicate that there is a large majority in
favor of paying the debt. We congrat
ulate our neighbor on having escaped
the disgrace the repudiation of her debt
would have left forever upon her.

The Original Blind Tom.
Blind Tom, the old, original Blind
Tom, who. has been before the public
for nearly forty years, and who is the
musical wonder of the century, will give
an exhibition of his wonderful talent at
the Baldwfn opera house Monday even
ing next. Blind Tom never had a mo
ment's teaching, being indeed almost an
idiot, and incapable of learing anything,
but he has the most remarkable
memory for music and anything con
nected therewith. His talent was first
discovered by hia mistress hearing some
one playing on the piano and discover
ing that it was the little blind picka
ninny; then 6 years of age. We append
the following from the Cleveland Plain
dealer: - , -
"The Star theater was filled last even
ing, where the famous negro wonder,
Blind Tom, accomplished many surpris
ing things in the way of piano playing.
While Tom did many things that were
remarkable, the most wonderful was his
playing of an air he could not have
heard before. He invited any man in
the audience to step on the stage and
play any selection he chose and he
would repeat it right after him. Mr.
Wilson G. Smith, the composer, ac
cepted the ' invitation and played
one of his own compositions as yet. un
published, and of so recent a date that it
has had no public performances any
where. The blind negro sat down on
the stool as soon as Mr. Smith had left
it, and repeated it, every note being
true and correct. He also played Gotts
chalk's Last Hope, Rossini's Moses in
Egypt, and several other numbers. A
peculiar part of his program was his
playing two airs at the same time and
singing a different song. He also re
peated a speech he heard in 18G0 de
livered by Stephen -A. Douglas, after
which he played a composition of his
own. Cleveland Plain Dealer, March
11, 1889.
