Those of you who havo not taken advantage of this
golden opportunity must not regret It when it is too
late, for we have warned you repeatedly that we havo

Much Lower
than tho market really justifies. There is no reason to
believe that all fabrics will not be higher in future, for
prices have advanced all Blong the line, and for people
to presume that they can always buy goods at the pres
ent low prices Is utter folly. Wo will not quoto you
prices on special lines tins issue, but bear in mind that
there is a liberal reduction throughout the

gnrnients of nil kinds, underwear, etc. View our silent

little invalid.
"Taps" sounded somewhat, out of their
usual hour today, and several times
residents wore startled at ttie clang of
thu fire alarm. It proved, however, to
be but the resnlt of a trial of the new
alarm boxes, which are boing put in.
Tho same thing will occur for tho next
two or three days and need not caute
alarm, unless the bell rings vigorously.
The boxes will bo placed as follows:
On Second and Taylor, Second and Mad
ison, Second and Laughlin, Second and
Washington, Third and Lincoln, First
and Union, and at the city engine house.
Tuesday th Ciiuonici.i: mentioned the
fact that the body of a woman and babe
had been found in a spring near Condon.
Though no minute detailsof tho afl'air
havo beehvobtained, tje body of the
woman is tlrat of MC Laura Kelsay,
wife of CharleMvohrfty, of Athena. In
vestigation profl that she drowned
herself and at tJfeuno time her email
baby. ShowaB nyirrieil to Charles
Kelsay in Pendleton ffear or two ago.
Whothenny domestic trohble gave rise
to thaerrible deed could not be learned,
although a report says she had been In
Condon for the past few mouths.
Tho will o Perry Gordon Uarrett, who
died three weeks ago at Hood Hiver, has
been admitted to probate. ,The estate
valued at if 12,000. Ib bequeathed to his
wife, Almeda Hedge liariett, and at her
death reverts to their two grundsonp,
who have been adopted by them, and
the will biuniilcs a desire that the names
of the boys bo changed from Howell to
JJarrett. A gold watch la bequeathed
to Kdward, the eldest, and a silver-
headed ebony cane, on which are en
graved the date and names of tho battles
of the rebellion to Kdwln. The docu
ment bears date of September, 17, 1809.
Tho immigration bureau in I'ortland
Is coustautly receiving requests for Ore
gon literature, with assurances that a
desiru to llnd homes in tho West
prompts the request. No doubt the
meetinu of tho National Press Assocla-
t'iou in that city has had much to do
with increasing the number of inquiries,,
The editors who came hero from all
over the middle West, from the Knst
and South, are yet singing Oregon's
praises. Another move to advertise our
state is on hand by the delegates to the
association, which meets In New Or
leans in March. A beautiful souvenir is
beliu; prepared to be given out in that
city during the Mardl Gras, when peo
ple from all over tho United btates are
congregated there. This will ho ono of
the beBt advertisements oyer given any
state, and overy city and town of any
note will be represented. An opportun
ity 1b offered Tho Dalles to be Included
among that number and should not be
slighted. It will cost but a small sum
and them Is ;io discount on the benefits
which will he derived thereby.
There was n warm time in tho county
jull this morning. It wua an "oil"" tjine
rather for one of tho prisoners Hugh
Brown, who was spoken of yesterday as
having attacked the "other Brown" in
a vicious manner. He again began his
tantrums early this morning and proved
unmanageable, tearing about his cell
like a mad man and attacked everyone
who came near. Finally Deputy Sheriff
Sexton and Jailor Fitzgerald braved
the lion in his den and placed handcuffr
on him, locking him up so securely that
he can injure no one, where he lies in
the corner of his cell sullenly. There is
a diversity of opinion among the oflicers
aB to his sanity. If he is feigning In-'
sanity he is a splendid actor; but it iB
just e'uch a trick as a man of his stamp
will resort to. If considered necessary
an examination will Boon be made; but
the officers desire to move cautiously in
the matter. Brown will be remembered
as the desperado captured with Wilson
by Dell Howell a month or two ago, and
wanted on several charges throughout
the state.
BOERS CAPTURE WARREN.
A report reaches us just as we go to

A Keiiilnilrr of tile CIiciin.
No one who attended the circus which
visiteJ here last June will ever forget
Kingling Bros., but will refer to it as
the best show of tho kind they ever
attended. A perusal of their annual
Red Wagon fouvejiir, .which has been
received, recalls many of tho pleasing
features of tho performance here. It
contains fifty largo pages, illustrated
with pictures of animals, performers
and circus Kenes, descriptive reading
matter and stories. Some of the latter,
which will prove interesting, we expect
to publish at a later date. Another
feature o( the fouvenlr is a diary naming
every place In which it showed during
IS00, from its start at Chicago in April
to its appearance in New Orleans on
November L'2nd. In It we find thu
following:

ANOTHER REASONABLE VERSION
What a Cnrrmpnnilnnt In a Kclgtitiorlufc
Town Think of the Matter.
EniTon Dai.mch Chkonicmc:
I note in a late issue of Tin: Chroni
cal that tho Telegram has a method of
dealing with the Smiths who get drunk
and abuse their families. Tho Telegram's
plan of the whipping post might have a
wholesome effect on such. Yet there
are some points worthy of consideration
Tho liquor that Smith drinks and
which is the acknowledged cause of bis
bad conduct is sold to him by a dealer
who has a legal right to sell tho same.
It is a fair Inference that said liquor is a
lawful drink. If so, (and if it is not a
lawful drink, let the matter bo invest!
gated,) then the authority that legalizes
tho drink is biuml to euro for Smith
while ho is under the influence of this
drink, -It will not do to say that these
authorities did not know that tho drink
would have the effect described by the
Telegram. Anybody who knows any
thing, knows tho effect of intoxicants
If there were any doubt, tho columns of
The Dalles papers alone would eettlo it
Nor will it serve to say that the saloons
aro licensed to sell to only moderate
drinkers. lie may be a moderate
drinker upon entering the saloon ami
immoderate to a fiendish degree upon
leaving it. I again reler tho reader to
the daily papers for confirmation.
In view of the above, it wouid seem
that tfie community that has licensed
the sale of intoxicants and that has
pocket the license fees to be used in
city improvements, cannot in justice
turn on tho hapless, thoueh disorderly,
Smith and publicly beat him at the de
grading whipping post. Smith has
simplv drank of the lawful cup furnished
to him by themselves.
Nor if he obeervo the law which may
Heaven grant! can the community hold
the saloon keeper responsible. The only
thing under the circumstances the com
munity can do is to feeil and c.iro for
Smith until he sobers up sufficiently to
get out ol jail and get drunk again and
abuse his family a3 before ; and feed and
care for this helpless family to the end
of the chapter.
There is another method which has
already suggested itself to a minority of
the citizens of The Dalles. That is to
furnish Smith with no legalized intox
icants. (If secured without the consent
of the community the latter cannot be
held responsible.) In a majority of
cases, Smith will then work steadily nnd
support his own family. He will also
gradually accumulate property and pay
taxes. Thus he will become a produc
tive factor in the community instead of
a dead weight upon it. J. M. M.
