Four or Six Dollars. Even now most dealers get from $2.75 to $3.00.
We bought them right and we intend to sell them for $2.50, and will
do so later. There is plenty of weur in them, they look well, fit well
and are up-to-date shoes for gentlemen. We say now
For them, because this price is less than cost, is no more reason why
they are not a bargain and why you should not have some.
You will see them m our show windows as soon as we get the
painters out of the windows, meanwhile step inside and take a look at

work. If this is true it is a possible

A cougar and two cubs were killed
within seven miles of the city last week
by Mr. Michael Doyle and son, living on
Chenoweth creek. They had killed sev
eral calves and sheep and were getting
very obnoxious. The old one measured
over six feet in length. It is seldom
that these animals venture so near a
center of population. The cougar, other
wise mountain, lion, is the fiercest wild
animal of North America, with the pos
limes
PEASE
sible exception of the grizzly bear, and
were it not for the natural cowardice of
the cougar, would destroy many human
lives. They are capable of killing grown
beeves and horses, but seldom attack
anything larger than a calf, and never a
man unless hard pressed.-

Delayed Trains.
There has been no train from the East
for two days until today when a spe
cial came down about 12:40 o'clock un
der charge of - Conductor Glendenning.
This train merely came from Grants, be
ing the regular overland which went
through last night from Portland. The
regular west-bDund passenger, due here
Saturday morning, is still on the other
side of the trouble above Arlington, and
no transfer of mail or passengers has yet
been made. A through east-bound
train came in from Portland at 1:40
this afternoon, and it is expected that
the obstruction will be cleared in. time
for it to pass and let the delayed west
bound passenger trains back. These
were expected to arrive at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
The trouble consists in immense drifts
of sand, in one place being a quarter of
a mile long and an average depth of four
feet. The fences are so placed as to
throw the drifting sand away from the
V A.
& MAYS.
track in case of a west wind, which
nearly always prevails, but when an
east wind is blowing they work in an
opposite manner and throw sand upon
the track, intensifying the trouble. The
late storm, continuing so long, caused
an immense body of sand to be thrown
upon the track, and resulted in a com
plete cessation of traffic. The delayed
trains today took the place of the regu
lar local, which was annulled.
THE NEW DISCOVERY.
McArthur and Herrin Will Soon Know
How 1 hey I.oolc Inside. m
Electrician L,. L. McArthur and Pho
tographer D. C. Herrin have made a
vif : ... 1 t,
practicability of using the cathode ray
n photography. Mr. McArthur will
urnish the brains for the electrical part
pf the work and D. C. will introduce his
knowledge of photography into the test.
Mr. McArthur has just received from
he East the glass tube of conical shape
(which serves to cross the ravs. but lacks
tfa certain solution of cyanide of mercury,
which he will procure in Portland, and
will go there for that purpose in the
morning. On his return a photograph
will be. taken of a hand, which is sup'
posed to show the bones through the.
skin.
The cathode ray is not the new dis
covery. Its peculiar colors were ex
hibited in Pease & Mays' window during
the holidays in a brilliant electrical dis
play of crosses, wreaths and revolving
spiral effects which made a very at
tractive 6ight. The discovery which has
attracted the attention of the entire
scientific world consists in its applica
tion to photography by which the in
terior of wood, metal, the human frame,
etc., can be revealed, and which dis
covery was made but a few weeks ago.
Sixteen inches of wood have been photo
graphed through by the use of cathode
rays. ' Edison is at present working on
making the ray of the arc light perform
the same work, and if successful, better
results than ever will be attained, be
cause the arc produces a pure white
light, whereas colors may produce de
ceptions, which if even inmaterial are
unsatisfactory.
The new discovery has greatly inter
ested Messrs. McArthur and Herrin,
whose minds, ever seeking both the
attainable and the unattainable, are in a
a chronic state of inaniry. For instance
Mr. Herrin is curious to know how the
inside of his head looks and proposes to
have that photograped the first thing.
He will doubtless exhibit some of the
photographs taken in his show window
whe'n they are ready.

The funeral Eervicos of Grace Will
iams, held this morning in the Congre
gational church, were attended by a
large number of sympathizing friends.
Loving bands had decorated the church
with last tributes, while expressions of
sorrow were manifest in the beautiful
flowers which hid the casket from view.
The services were brief, but unusually
affecting. The choir sang the lovely
anthem "One Sweetly Solemn Thought,"
after which Mr. Curtis made some
touching remarks, roost fitted to the
moment. It were more appropriate, he
said, if he could take his place among
the mourners and listen to words of sym
pathy spoken by another. In tender
words he referred to the beautiful life
which had ust closed "for earth, and
with the earnestness of belief expressed
the consolations and hopes for one who
had died as Grace Williams did, fall of
trust and believing in the promises
made to her. Mr. Curtis' words, while
moving all hearts to sympathy, . were
laden with the comfort that comes not
from earthly things.
Seldom have so many expressions of
Borrow been made, or so much sympathy
own as was seen at the funeral today.
In the church were those who had
known the dead girl from babyhood ;
those who were her schoolmates in the
happy days of childhood, and those who
knew her in her maturer years and
loved her for her sweet disposition and
unselfish spirit. Th pallbearers were
her classmates in the old Academy days.
The alumni attended in a body.
The floral tribntes were profuse,
among them being a - wreath from the
class of '90, the year when Grace
graduated from the Academy, and one
could not Ijelp thinking that the hands
which tenderly, with heavy hearts, laid
these mute tributes of sorrow upon the
casket, were the same that had joyously
given the floral expressions on the night
of her graduation. The family, iu their
hour of deep affliction, share the sym
pathy of the community.
