for the night. Early next, morning
Lander appeared at the hotel and was
told the girl . had left , on the 4:30
morning train for Portland, from whence
she came. No explanations were left,
and Lander was left to conjecture what
had so suddenly changed the mind of
his anticipated wifeling.' The only
thing in evidence was the grizzled moon,
which for centuries untold has beamed
with its mellow light upon countless
pairs of -lovers, and, which - must -have
revealed the evening before to the Mrs.
Lander-to-be some- qualities in her
lover's face which Bhe regarded as un
prepossessing. She left also without
paying her hotel bill. Lander paid it,
and thus balanced up another p.aee on
life's great book of experience.

BORN.
In The Dalles, Sept. 24th. to the wife
of J. M. Huntington, a daughter.
Some months ago we sent one of our
pianos to Spokane, Wash. The party
who ordered it became involved in finan
cial difficulties and was unable to pur
chase it. We then transferred i to Mr.
I. .C. Nickelsen of. The Dalles, who
has been storing it for us during the last
few months. . We do not wish the piano
re-shipped to us because that will in
volve a considerable expense of freights.
We are therefore willing to sell the
piano actually belbwcost. The piano is
the best we manufacture, listed in our
catalogue . at $1,200, retail price $640,
We offer it, with stool, scarf and lamp,
to anyone who will buy within the next
thirty days, for $276. This is an oppor
tunity to get a first-class piano at abso
lutely less than cost. Everyone who in
tends to" buy A piano any time at all,
ought to see this Instrument and con
eider this offer before making a pur
chase. The piano can be seen at I. C.
Nickelsen's at any time. We have au
thorized Mr. Nickelsen to accept this
price for it.

Mr. Herman W. Craven of Seattle de
livered a ringing Republican address at
the court house last evening to an audi
ence taxing the capacity of .the court
house last evening to contain it. No
more enthusiastic Republican exists
than Mr. Craven and he succeeded in
communicating a generous share of it to
his audience, who cheered him wildly
from start to finish. ' The only unpleas
antness which marred the evening were
the b'abblings-of a drunken individual,
upon whom therefore the timely rebukes
of the speaker were lost. . His sense of
shame was sunken in bis inebrity. Mr.
Craven 'was pleasantly introduced by
Mr. F. W. Wilson as a citizen from a
sister state who comes -to us to preach
the gospel of 'protection, sound money
and McKinley. '
The speaker opeced with the state
ment that while Oregon - seemingly con
tained more Republicans than Washing
ton, yet he claimed his, state would not
be in the rear in November, and referred
to the recent Vermont .and Maine elec
tions as a tremendous expression of the
conservative element in the East. Tak

mg np ' tne extravagant, claims ot the
silver forces he exposed to view a copy
,the San Francisco Examiner of the
29th of August, where that paper con
tained the following "scare" headlines:
New England Engulfed by the Huge
Wave of Silver Sentiment The Repub
licans .Will Have Trouble With Maine
Yet." The oniy trouble, "said Mr.
Craven, was to connt the un parallelled
Republican majority. The 'speaker ex
ploded the claim of the silver ppo pie
when he said the change from unex
ampled prosperity in 1892 to the lowest
depths of financial distress in 1893 was
euddep; quoting . from Dunn and Brad
street's commercial agencies incontest

The Weekly Review of Trade, June
