If you want the best you have no other choice, we don't make it so, but peo
ple who like up-lo-dale wearables, just prices and fair treatment do. Not a hund
red years, not fifty, nor even one has elapsed since the clothes we are showing were
made. They wore made this season and in this season's style. This not only ap
plies to our Mon's Department but to the Children's as well, and there's a stylo
about them that's exclusive. JsnVt it worth something to know that you are in
style, especially when it costs you no more?
Our advertisements are our letters to you, written, signed and backed up by
a house that has always been jealous of its reputation and business integrity.

Many of our people seem at a loss to
understand what Is the true nature of
the organization known as Hie "Young
Ladles Single Blessedness Debating So
ciety," or as some choose to term if'The
Old Maids' Convention." ItB workings
are of a strictly secret nature; but as a
public meeting is to be held at the Bald
win Monday night, and all are invited
to uttend, the public need not be Ig
norant of Its workings. An admlBsslon
of 26 cents will be charged to defray the
expenses of the delegates who come
from abroad,
Yesterday morning two Dalles young
people left 'the city for Portland giving
no intimation of the important nature
of their visit, but later in the duy some
how it crept out that word had been,
Bent back for n marriage license, aud
today news readied here that Fred
Bnrchtotf and Leona Gosser were mar
ried at the metropolis this morning.
Nothing further concerning the cere
mony was given. Both the bride and
groom are well thought of in The Dalles,
as such worthy young people would be
esteemed wherever their lot is cast; but
at the same time they will hove to
answer to their friends for going back on
The Dalles- when it cornea to such an
important transaction.
Allen Edwards Iiob been arrested in
The Dalles for forgery. It is believed
by the officers in this city that this is
the same individual who operated with
bucccbs iu Wallu Walla about two weeks
ago. T1ij forgerer eucceeded in cheating
business men out of $44 by giving them
bogus cheeks. The signature which ap
peared on the checks was George E.
Allen. There is good reason to believe
that the Dalles forgerer and Allen are
one and the same man, Union. Mar
shal Hughes received word from the
officers ut Walla Walla regarding Ed
wards, but after Investigation does not
believe he is thesame man.
The efforts of Gov. T. T. Geer, regard
ing the interment of deceased Oregon
volunteers on Oregon Boil, which has
ueen resisted by the war department
at Washington, is at last bearing fruit.
Tuesday the governor received u tele
grain from the war department announc
ing that a change had token place in the
plans of the secretary, and that the au
thorities had decided to deliver the dead
of the Oregon regiment to the state's
oflicers for interment. The military au
thorities have purchased o most beauti
ful plot of ground in Riverview cemetery,
ot Portland, one ot the most sightly
cemeteries in the state, wherein to lay
to rest the brave dead of the Oregon
regiment. This plut of uround is ample
to bury all of the deceased members of
the regiment, and the authorities pro
pose to make the spot as beautiful us
possible, When the bodies arrive it is
proposed to hold litting services in their
honor, and to inter them all at the same
time.
Every cltv is justifiable in guarding
lealouslv Its interests: but when in so
4 '
doing the welfare of neighboring cities
is criminally jeopardized, then should
some means be used to thwart such pro
ceedings. Such a course, it seems, is
belinr pursued by some of our Eastern
Oregon towns regarding the pretence of
smallpox in their midst. While travel
in if men and others coming from Baker
City have reported tin epidemic of that
disease there, the uewspupers have
steadfastly refused to ocknowlcdge I lie
fact, and it is said have thus caused it to
spread to their neighboring town. A
Portland man who came down to Pendle
ton from that place the first of the week
sayo he ascertained by personal investi
gation that the town is full of it, und
three patients have recently died,
Droving there are at least some genuine
vases, Be the disease what it may, it
ie certainly loathsome enough to cause
the greatest caution to be used, audits
presence in any town should not be dis
guised. As wns feared, smallpox has developed
in the Mullikin family, who were ex
posed by visitors fioin Moro, Mrf.
Mullikin and her little daughter having
broken out with thu disease, this morn

that t i t no tlmt tho wife ruined fomo
objection, deeming it unnecessary, but,
po far as wo can learn, the quarantine
Iioh been enforced, which now proves to
havo been the proper course, and has no
doubt prevented the entire city from be
ing exposed. Another thing in favor of
the ci,y is thn fart that the family lives
bo far out of town, or rather the thick
ly settled portion, residing this side of
'i honipeon's addition. The strictest
quarantine is being unforced and it is
not thought there is Immediate danger
of contagion. It is well, however, for
all to be guarded in view of the experi
ence of other towns.

From No, 1 ,
Charles Benson, who was employed
in Parkins' barber shop for a few months
lubt fall, hns gotten into serious ditlicnlly
in Albany. Although at first he seemed
to he a worthy fellow, .Mr. Parkins soon
discovered he did not meet his financial
obligations, aud at the time of the flstial
encounter, which took place down the
river, he took such a decided interest in
the disgraceful affair that his employer,
deciding he had no further use for him,
gave him his walking papers, fie then
left town, leaving bills to the amount of
about $110.
While here Benson employed a lawyer
and commenced divorce proceedings
against his wife, but suspicioning him,
the lawyer dropped the matter, und has
since learned that he cheated Salem
lawyers iu the same kind of a deal, and
proved hiuiBelf an ull-around bilk.
It is said that the Miss Watts, whom
lie married in Albany lost Saturday,
visited him in this city last fall.f
The Albany flemld has the following
concerning his escapade there:
"Charles G.L. Benson, the Broadalbin
street barber, left town Friday night
and has not been heard from since.
Benson came to town several mouths
ogo and purchased the barber shop back
of YoungV store. He represented that
he had been married, but was divorced.
Shortly after coining to town he com
menced to keep company with Miss
Erma Watts, und last Saturday night
they were married. Friday morning a
woman came to town who claims she is
BeiiBon's legal wife, and had never
secured u divorce. Benson hired a bug
gy ot the livery stable, and, as near as
can be learned, drove to Shedd Friday
night and stopped at that town until
Saturday morning, when he left for
Independence, probably crossing the
river at Peoria. He was accompanied
by Mis. Watts aud Mis. Benson No. 2,
but the former returned yesterday morn
ing and her daughter came back witli
the buggy late in the afternoon. Benson
evidently headed for Portland, and as
heJias about $o00, borrowed from his
new mother-in-law, he will be able to
keep moving, us there seems to be no
one particulaily anxious to head him
oif."
