latter Grants Pass, were in the city yes
terday, being on the portage railway

The case of the State against Osburn,
charged with robbing Rothery, was tried
Saturday, the jury being out but a short
time when it agreed upon a verdict of
acquittal. The evidence was entirely
circumstantial and the jury evidently
did not think it strong enough to pre
clude other reasonable theories of bis
innocence.
Can you afford to miss it? We refer
to A. M. Williams & Co's generous offer
ings in woolen dress goods. Their 35
cents grades of very desirable weaves,
suitable for either street or house dress
es, to close at 20 cents a yard. Some
very choice patterns in 50 cents goods
going at 30 cents a yard.. No need to
put off buying that new dress or wrap
per any longer.
We received this morning a copy of
the Hawaiian Star, published at Hono
lulu. It is intensely American in its
views, and advances some forceful
arguments in favor of the United States
annexing the Hawaiian islands. We
confess to a change of sentiment on the
subject after a perusal of its columns,
and believe it would be a good thing for
this government to at least establish a
protectorate over them.
Peaao & Maya have not completed the
repairs tq their big Btore, but they are

partment ia being nicely fitted up and
will be soon completed, and the big sky
light has made a wonderful improve
ment in the way of lighting the back
part of the store.
A single type dropped from the
forms of the Pittsburg Leader the other
day, and its loss cost the paper $405. It
appears that a Pittsburg concern bad
advertised in that edition of the Leader
a special sale of ladies' wrappers at 98
cents each. In handling the form the
figure 9 dropped out. The loss was not,
noticed until next morning, when the
Btore was besieged by ladies wanting to
buy wrappers at 8 cents, as advertised.
The firm Btood by its guns until the last
wrapper was Bold. Then it Bent in a bill
for $405 to the Leader, this being the
sum representing the difference between
8 cents and 98 cents on each wrapper
Bold. ' The Leader paid the bill without
protest.
These l'avsed.
Only eight of the twenty-three ap
plicants for teachers' certificates passed
at the recent examination. The ques
tions were more difficult to answer than
usual, which accounts for the small
number passing, but while this ia true,
it should be borne in mind that the
standard is being steadily advanced, and
those who teach must keep pace with it
or become back numbers. The following
passed :
Third grade J. M. O'Brien, Robert
O'Brien, Dufur; Ada Bell, Leslie L.
Bell, Boyd; Ralph S. Shelley, Hood
River.
Second grade Lillie Copple, Hood
River; Ira Docker, Wamic.
First grade Hattie Sternweis, Boyd.
The following were recommended for
state certificates: Elsie Ball, Tiie
Dalle6 ; W. H. Walker, Kingsley.
Miss Ella Cooper of The Dalles, was
recommended for state diploma, and H.
G. Lukopf Antelope, for life diploma.

Women' Size Increasing,
Much commeut bus recently arisen
among fashionable people regarding the
unusual and even phenomenal size of
this new generation of women. In eight
out of ten cases these young girls are a
full head and ahouldera taller than their
mammas. Five feet eight or nine inches
ia no longer regarded aa an unusual
height for a debutante, and this Juno
esque statue ia supplemented, as a rule,
by broad, shapely shoulders, a firm,
round waist, with harmonious propor
tions of arms, hip and bust. This new
woman, from a merely physical stand
point, is not only fair to look upon, but
promises with her clear eyes, rosy skin
and steady nerves as a wholesome
mother of the coming race,
Tho funeral of the late Jeeste Butler,
held at the Methodist church Sunday
afternoon, were very largely attend. An
hour before the hour appointed people
were gathering at tho church, eager to
show in this way their deep feeling of
loss and bereavment. That a universal
feelinz of sorrow filled all hearts was
forcefully expressed by the extreme
quiet and stillness that pervaded tho
vaft audience.
The exercises were opcued by the pas
tor, Kev. J, H. Wood, with tho u-unl
buriul ecriptural reading of thoM. E.
church. A quartettechoir sang as open
ing hymn "Lead Kindly Light ;" then
prayer was offered, followed by a solo
by Miss Eliot of Portlaud.
Tho pastor introduced his remarks by
relating some bits of history of Jessiu's
life, and began his address by using a
favorite quotation of her's, and ono
she had repeated to her mother tho
night before her death, "I know :hat
my Redeemer livcth." He touchingly
alluded to her conversion in tho church,
and feelingly spoke of her zeal for tho
work of saving souls. "Her sense of
duty was clear and definite, and she
faithfully periormed her work. Her in
fluence for good was felt by all her
young friends in the Epworth League,
the Sunday school, the church, the
school all know that Jessio was moved
by a divine forco to seek their good.
Under this new-born and holy influ
ence, her social and religious develop
ment was very rapid and moat marked.
Jessie, on her 16th birthday, gave her
name to the church, united with the
Epworth League, and when the Queen
Esther missionary circle was formed she
entered heartily into that. At her
death sho was third vice-president of tho
League. How we shall miss her! but
for her Ho die was gain.' 'She cannot
return to us, but we can go to her.' In
our chastened grief we are consoled by
the Christian hope, that 'though absent
from the body she is present with tho
Lord, and there in bliss supremo she
waits our coming.' "
The floral offerings were numerous
and very beautiful, tho League, her class
in the public school and many friends
eeuding tokens oi loving remembrance.
Farewell, young, loyal, Christian sol
dier! We meet no more tliia sldo of
heaven ; but in joyous expectation, we
wait the glad reunion.
