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.

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. . .

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. Probata Court. The probate court was in session yes terday for its regular term, but as it is always open for the transaction of busi ness not' much accumulates for term time.

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. Notice.
