Mr. J. T. English, of the famous Glen-

and has probably arrived in San Fran

At the time of a conflagration when
the fire boys get out aud "drill" in
earnest, and the Hook and Ladder
laddies face tlio flames and daringly
climb into the very jaws of death toEavo
our property, everybody says they de
servo "praise." Praise is all right in a
way, but it don't weigh much uuleBB
accompanied by tho "real thing" when
it is needed. Now lot everyone get In
and tee how much substantial praise
thev can give toward fitting tho boys
out In their new riggln'. Keep thu ball
rolling until it is covered with the
wherewithal.
Somu four years ago the postodico at
Clarno, In what ia now Wheeler county,
was burned. Tho postmaster did not
deem It worth while to mention a trilling
matter like this to the department. Tho
department felt aggrieved, and insti
tuted a suit against tho nt;ligcnt pott
master, and secured a judgment against
him for !-2o0. Deputy United Slates
Marshal Morse, who was Kent to Wheel
or county a fow days ago to collect this
Judgment, arrived homo yesterday with
the money, which was promptly paid.
If the postmaster had just mentioned
to tho department tho fact that his of
fice had been burned, he wouiu nave
had nothing to pay.-Oregonlan.

It may seem strange
to those accustomed to tlio usual way of doing
things to talk about reductions at the beginning of the
season. Nevertheless Saturday next brings to our cus
tomers a chance- to buy goods for less than we have
sold before.
The Clothing Department is Right
in line wide open and ready for business; ready to
save you the nickels that go to make up the Almighty
Dollars. For one day only we will give a reduction in
this department of
15 per cent, off
and you can never realize the purchasing power of
money till you visit us. Nowhere else in the country
can you buy as good value as you can of us. You are
standing in your own light if you pass us by. VVc do
not want your money unless wo can give you satisfac
tion for it. No "hot time in the old town" these nights,
but Saturday there 11 be a warm time in the daytime at
our store when the crowds rush for the bargains.
A Few Words About Hatology,

cries for help were heard as far hs Peter
Godfrey's place on the side hill across
tho creek, and in company with Mr.
Sargent and his son, Mr. Godfrey nod
t.vo other men had hard work to extri
cate him lrom tuo plact) where ho was
pinned by tho wagon, and finally dug
down with shovels to get him out, the
while he pleaded with them to kill him.
I Ho is still alive, however, and the doc
I tor thinks will recover. Ho is partic-
j ularly unfortunate, having lost his wife i
i about Bi.v weeks ago aud was taking out !
a tombstone, when through the careless
ness of a drunken man he nearly lost his j
own life. j
The fire bug is certainly rightnfter the
laundry nnd everything connected with
it. Much to tho surprise of everyone, j
when tho buildings wero burned about ,
twenty-two bales of hay stored under
the front part of the east building es-'
caped; hut it also had to go, so this
morning the sound of the fire bell, which
has become so familiar of late, was again
heard, and the hay was found to be
burning. Tlio Ere boys put it out, but
most of the hay was destroyed. It- is
supposed to be of incendiary origin, and
the authorities think they have the righj
man. Last night Smiley, who is em
ployed straightening up in tho burnt
buildings, found a morphine fiend called
"Kid Moore," underneath the building
and Eent him away. As some men were
running from the East End to the lire
this morning they saw him run up the
railroad track. Later ho came into
Clarke & Falk's drug store and his
clothes were covered in straw, l'liirman
lias had his eyo on him for some time
and lie had promised to leave town,
so shortly after tho fire, seeing him
about tlio Btreets, hut not knowing of
tho suspicions, he arrested him. Later,
Phlrman waj advised of tho circum
stances nnd ho will now bo held until
the matter has been investigated. Such
characters should bo gottou out of town
as toon as possible.
Monday a man by tho name of Edward
Wilson and his wife boarded the Dalles
City nl Corbott's, having with them a
spring wagon and a good team. When
thoy reached tho city and the D. P. & A.
N. company attempted to collect freight
uhnrgeo, they refueed to pay and at
tempted to take the team and wagon,
but tho agent was on tho alert and told
them ho would allow them to be left in
Ward & Robertson's charge until the
money was paid. They were taken to
the stable, but the money was paid later.
Seeing a notice In the Oregonian that a
party of their description had left Port
laud, taking with them a team belonging
to J. S. Andrews, who had kindly
brought them from Los Angeles overland
as they wished to come and had no con
veyance, Mr. Allaway called up the
chief of police there and Informed him of
their whereabouts. Iuthe meantime the
Hjlio had written to Marshal Hughes
and said he thought they had come this
way, They were found camped on the
William lot on Fourth street and were
arrested and are now being held uutll no

AN IMPORTANT MEETING
Hio Council Provides for a Now Street
and Aitrnpriate8 3100 fortlie
I'lro Ileimrtnif lit.
An adjourned moating of the council
was held last night at tho recorder's of
fice, at which wero present beside Mayor
Kuck, Councilman Keller, Clougli, Gun
ning, Stephens, Shackelford and John
ston. It was ordered by the council that C.
J. Crandall be instructed to survey a
new street from Alvord to Fulton and
make specification of same and that the
recorder advertise for bids. Wo are in
formed that this survey has really been
made and that further survey is meant
to be made from Alvord fo Clay, the
former being the avenue on which I. C.
Nickelsen's residence is situated, and
the latter the street where S. B. Adams
lives. A new street has long been
needed there, and will be a great con
venience. '
The council made a commendable
move last night, when after a speech by
J. F. Moore, they voted tn assist in im
proving the fire system. Mr. Moore has
been one of a committee which has been
soliciting among our citizens to procure
the ten per cent reduction which would
be mad'o by the insurancs company
were u chemical engine purchased by
the citv, the saving in insuranco to bo
donated toward tho engine. He ex
plained that in all the chemical engine,
(ire alarm (consisting o( seven boxes)
and a hook and ladder truck would foot
up to about $2400. From all indications
when a canvass has been made, the
dance given, etc., they will bo about
$400 short, so that he recommended that
the city appropriate $400. On motion
of Gunning, seconded by Stephens, the
council so ordered. This shows that the
council fully appreciated tho efforts of
thu lire department in our behalf.
An ordinance was then passed where
by bootblack stands and shoo polishers
wero granted license by paying $5
quarterly.
Cough introduced an ordinanco
amending ordinance No. 285, which pro
vides for the fire department, thu game
providing that the fire police patrol bo
admitted as members of thu department,
which was accepted. According to thu
present ordinance tlio following are
members: Jackson Engine, No, 1;
Columbia Hose, No. 2; E.ist Dalles
Hose, No. 3; Mt. Hood Hose, No. 4;
The DalL's Hook and Ladder, No, 5;

education was under consideration
Bishop Vincent said ho was in favor of a
plan to establish in tho statu university
