Our Mid-Summer Sale
WILL SOON BE HERE in full force. Just one
month earlier than usual,
Wo started with an $8.95 Suit Sale, which now develops
into a general clearance a full-fledged bargain event. Not
through any Sfccial effort on our part; not through unusual ad
vertising. Tt seems as though each customer told a dozen oth
ers, and so the sale has grown to a Christmas crowd looking
for July "bargains. Rest assured there shall be no disap
pointment. The most pronounced bargain fiend shall bo more
than satisfied. Jt has come to us unsolicited, and we shall ac
cept it with good graco.

An exchange tells of a "yeller dawg"

ran down a prominent pieiichor of total

Thoro ia no question but the fall
wheat crop in the Wlllaniettd valley Is
going to be very short, and neither
spring wheat nor oats will give anything
like a full yield, says the Salem States
man. This is unfortunate; but it will
demonstrate verv completely the value
of diversified fanning, especially ns the
dairying boom Is on to assist in tho dem
onstration. Coroner Hart, of Klickitat county,
received word Thursday that the body
of a man had been found on the hank
of the Columbia river on the 23d in
stant at Scott, In eastern Klickitat. The
body waB entirely nude, and bore no
evidence of foul play. It n supposed
the man had been drowned while bath
ing, but his identity had not been dis
covered at last accounts.
JURY FOUND HIM GUILTY.
Such Willi the Vim did In the Case of lllo !
Statu Against Ge.irgti FurrJH, .
1
At 10 o'clock Thursday night the jury ;
in the case of the state of Washington I
against George R. A. Farris, accused '
with the murderof Abo Worrell, brought'
in a verdict of guilty in the (list degree,
which means death by the rope, says the
Goldendalo Agricultutist.
The rate was tried beforo Judge Miller
occupying five days, two of which, how- '
ever, were spent in securing a jury and '
with arguments of counsel. The case,
on the part of the prisoner was weak, i
his defense being almost childish. He'
had undoubtedly had a quarrel with J
Worrell previous to the murder over a(
team of horses, which Worrell objected)
to his taking. Farris insisted on taking
the horses, and it was duiing this time
thai Worrell was killed. That Is about
the way Fan Is put it while on ihefctand.
Others think that Worrell was shot
down without warning.
The prisoner went on at gieat length
while on tho stand in telling his story,
and corroborating in the main the case
as made up by the defense. The evi
dence all went to show that Farris had
p'annetl the crime in advance; and the
evidence was strong enough to convince
twelve of the best citizens as to its
truth lesulting, after live hours' de
liberation in tho above verdict.
The state's case was ably managed by
County Attorney D.ueh, with the assist
ance of llirnm Diistin and Hon. A. S.
Ilennett ; while Farris' defense was
faithfully and earnestly conducted by
W. 15. Presby, of Goldei.d.ile, and II. S
Wilson, of The Dalles.
