Choice of a variety of pretty articles at each 25 cents. Have you Been them? The "Pulse of New .York" company will appear at the Vogt tonight. Those who heard thiB company play here last year are as competent to judge of its merits as is the Chronicle. All who at tended then were delighted with the company. The music will be furnished tonight by Birgfeld's orcheetra. W. S. Keat, representing the Rambler bicycles, is in town today. He is also interested in the Rambler football team,' and arrangements have about been com pleted for a game here on New Year's day. This will be good news to all, for aside from the fact of the enjoyment, it affords a pleasant pastime for the holi day. The Methodist church, both morn ing and evening yesterday was crowded. In the morning Rev. Thoburn, who is the son of a missionary, and who him self spent some years in the work in In dia, addressed the audience on "mis sions." So earnest was he and so elo quent and touching his appeal, that all agreed they had never beard a better sermon on this subject. The missionary apportionment of $96 for the church here was raised with no special appeal. coap'e of weeks a I Cood Things In our Shoe Dept. Peas In the evening Chaplain Lozier occupied the pulpit and gave a stirring address on the subject of dedicating what talents we have to the work of the Master. At its close he sang his beautiful solo, "The Man of Galilee." t . ; t .i i r -i i L of Elks attended the Congregational church in a body. No previous arrang ment had been made with the pastoj making it impossible for him to give an address suitable to the occasion. How ever, the sermon was much appreciated by his listeners. The muBic was especi ally good, a very pretty anthem being sung, and a duet rendered by Mrs. But ler and Miss Schmidt. V Last night, while Miss Minnie Harper and her sister were attending church some one entered her residence, near the East Hill echool, and ransacked things, generally. This morning when she went to her trunk to get her purse, she found, that it bad been broken open and the. purse, which contained $4.50 in change! stolen. Undoubtedly the burglar is not a hundred miles from the city. These petty robberies should be ferreted out Forester Confined in County Jail- In spite of the fact that nothing defi nite had been given oat as to the traip on which Sheriff Kelly would arrive with his prisoner, curiosity ran so high that for fear the opportunity of catching a passing glance at Forester might b missed, a large crowd was waiting at the Umatilla House when the 5 o'clock train arrived Saturday evening, joining in the procession which conveyed tlie murderer of Brogan to his quarters a,t the county jail, which he will at least ocj cupy until the February term of court Sheriff Kelly reports an uneventful trip back, the prisoner being very east to manage, causing no trouble whate?er They were delayed for a half-day at Sacramento on account of some slight accident to the train, when he occupied) the jail at that place. j A winnemucca paper, witu wnose re-j porter Forester conversed freely, said' that after the killing, which he claims tcj have committed iu self defense, hej walked 150 miles, when he bought a; horse and started for Nevada. On the) way he encountered a traveler, whom! he fell in with and to whom he dis-i closed his crime, informing the fellow that $1UUU bad been ottered for his ar rest. On reaching Winnemucca hii companion notified the officers, who im mediately captured him. Forester is now closely confined be-Ai hind the bare, and no one is peimitted to interview him, although the prisoner makes no objection. During the entire day yesterday the sheriff's office was crowded with visitors, many of them acquaintances of the prisoner, eager to see him; but it is impossible to grant their request, it being thought best to exclude all visitors. His case will not come up until the February term of court. On: Minute Cough Cure, cures. That is what if was made tor.

Nothing so com pletely - carries one away and adds solemnity 6 such exercises as does the stra'n of sweet music, fairly lifting one above. The solo, "Calvary," rendered by Mr'. Wm. Crossen was bo well adapted to the richness of bis voice that as he sang "Rest, rest for the weary ; peace, peace to the soul," it seemed that no selection coma nave been more appro priate nor so well suited to such an oc casion as were the words and music of that solo. ' "-Tfie-WtogV delivered by Hon. John' Michell was extremely eloquent and so delivered that not an iota of its depth of feeling was lost on his hearers. His words in remembrance of the two de parted, brothers, George Clacking and Owen Williams, showed truly that their faults had been written on the sands, while their virtues were engraven on the tablets of love and memory. Those who had expected a treat when it was announced that one of Oregon's most famous orators, D. Solis Cohen, was to be with us, were far from being disappointed. Hia every thought, word and gesture were eloquence, and the mora appreciated because of their originalityjs he spoke of the teacn- lngTOTThe order and impressed upon his brother Elks that the best lessons to be gathered from such services are those which teach them their .duty to their lellow man, his very emphasis and ex pression, showed that he is a true orator, who feels what his words convey. The sentiments brought out at closing when speaking of the truths contained in the flower of the order, the' forget-me-not, were beautiful.

WHAT OUR CITY DADS DID. Nothing of Great Importance mt Sstor- day's Meeting. At roll call Saturday evening at the council meeting the following city dads answered "present:" Kuck, Keller, plough, Gunning, Stephens, Barnett and Butts. - alter tne reading of the minutes of the last meeting, a slight correction was made, when thev werA annrnvpd. y Kuck, of the finance committee, re ported, in the matter of the claims of the city against the county for taxes, which matter was referred to the finance committee at the last meeting, that they have not yet employed an expert to in vestigate; therefore ask for further time. C. F. Stephens, of the committee on streets and public property, reported that the committee had appraised the city's lot on Third street, adjoining Bro- gan'a property, at $1200, and recom mended the same to the council, which approved the recommendation. The matter of the removal of all build ings situated on public streets without permission of the council, was referred to the comtbittee on streets and public property. Dr. O. D. Doane and Geo. A. Liebe, members of the school board, appeared before the opuucil and Etated that they had been served with notice by the mar shal, notifying them to remove the nuis ance caused by the water closets at the school building-on Court street'. They acknowledged that at the time com plaint was made they werejn a bad con dition, but that it was the first time there had been cause for such complaint, and that said cause would be removed. However, as the district has already spent much during the past year, and if the notice were complied with it would make an additional expense ot about $700 or $800, they asked that it be not required to put in patent closets, which would also cause much trouble by freez ing. Their request was complied with. Regarding the electric liebt question, the mayor and recorder presented the matter by reading the contract submit ted by the company to them and refused, land the one presented by them to the Company, which has not been acted up- bn as yet. It seems there are some dif ferences in regard to the situation of the lights. No action was taken by the council. W. A. Johnston having changed bis place of residence from the First ward, a new councilman was elected. Council man Keller placed in nomination Cbas. Michel bach, who was elected by acclam ation. It was ordered that sidewalks be con structed on Laughlin street, between Second and Third. The claim of Douglas Dufur for $56.50, premium, for insurance on city build ings, was referred to the finance com mittee. Officers' reports were then submitted, NEW ATTD 2d HAND WHEELS For Less than Half Price We wish to clear out all old stock before mo v ing into new store and have some bargains.

Upon their arrival they found the parlors fairly enveloped in a spider web, woven by human hanla. The work of unwinding immediately began and Daisy Deane reaching the.feoal first, captured the prize. Afterward the game of Cin derella's slipper engaged their attention, at which Bessie Edon proved herself an adept. Helen Lyte was equally unfortu nate at both games, and . carried away the booby piizea. The birthday iunch was one which received no less attention than did the gamep, and the young misses did justice to it.
