Spring Opening
OF
Hi-Class novelties and wasK Fabrics
i
On Tuesday, March 19th
Wo will have on exhibition one of the finest collections of novelties for Spring
and Summer wear ever got together. As every wearer of educated taste quickly
discards all that is passe and common-place, the progressive merchant strives
to secure only that which is original, exclusive and of the latest mode. The
ability to command the selection of whatever is distinctively meritorious, justi
fied us in assuming the exclusive ownership of all the novelties in our offering
for the approaching season, a manifest advantage to our customers, which they
fully appreciate.

It is told of a certain economical old

restaurant-keeper how much would be
charged for cooking ft dozen eggs, the
latter to be supplied to the restaurant
uiBn. The reply was "Five cents."
Then the economical gentleman is sup
posed to have responded, "Well, I'll
come in every day at lunch time and
have vou cook one of them for me."

Died, Saturday, lGlh ' March, at
Spraguu Landing, Susie, the beloved
wife of Robert Hawu, of this city, aged
'J7 years. The deceaeed had suffered for
a long time from catarrh of the stomach,
and her husband took tier on the bout
Saturday morning hoping she might ob
tain relief from tho waters of St. Mar
tin's springs. Rut she was beyond re
lief and died shortly after leaving tho
boat at iSprugue's Landing. She leaves
a husband and one child. The funeral
took place from tho family residence
this afternoon.
A London paper says that some time
ago u city magistrate tried a cawi of "Al
abastar ugt. White," ami a little while
ufterward there was one of "High agt.
Ixiw," while later he was confronted
with a suit of "Halfpenny agt. Penny."
His honor was at first under the impres
sion that some one was playing a joke,
but the litigants were real enough.
Strange conjunctions of names occur,
however, in other places than law courts,
lit the early part of the century a parson
in Hloomsbtiry began one morning by
tying the nuptial knot between "Prior
and Nun," The second couple embark
ing in matrimony were called respective
ly "Doctor and Patient," and the third
"Beans and Bacon." The fourth cop
pie was put off for twenty-four hours be
cause their patronymics were "Toogood
and Best." "Come tomorrow," Bald
the cleric; "sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof."
The concert at ttie Vogt Saturday
night, given by Anton Schott, ably as
sisted by Lucien Vannod and Ottllie
Sehnecking, waB a rare treat and
deserved a better patronage. Mr.
Schott's singing was highly appreciated
by all who heard him. His vocal
powers were given full scope in
"Lohengrin's Farewell," by Wagner,
and "The Two Grenadiers," by Schu
mann. The purity and sweetness of his
tones were, however, more noticeable in
"The Heart Bowed Down" number.
Ottilie Schnecking is also possessed of a
very pleasing voice, and her numberB
were well received. Tho selection from
"Waffensclnnied" was well rendered
by Lucien Vannod.
The new law in reference to taking up
estrays needs to bo studied, as there is
a provision for u line of $10 to $100 to
taking up an estray without complying
with the provisions of the act. When
an estray is taken up three notices have
to be posted. It is provided, though,
that no estrays shall be taken up dur
ing the months of May and Novembei
inclueive except breachy or vicious ani
mals, which may be taken up in any
month. Within ten days tho owner
may claim and Becuro the animal upon
the payment of .fl fee and a reasonable
price for keeping it. After ten days tho
county clerk is notified and the animal
is appraised and sold, being advertised
in a newspaper if of over $15 value.
Georgo Phillips pleaded guilty in
Justice Brownliill's court Saturday after
noon to the larceny of a buggy robe
valued at $12, the property of L. A.
Porter, tho liveryman, and was sen
tenced to a line of $50 or twenty-five
days in the county jiil. Piullips had
pawned the robe at Mosior for the feed
of a team he had hired from Mr. Porter.
This is the same young fellow who last
fall was Injured on the railroad track at
the Kast Knd by being thrown off a
freight car on which he was trying to
steal a ride. Ho scums to be well con
nected, for his father is a banker in
Butte, Montana, and at the time of tho
accident lie sent the boy, through
Marshal Driver, i50 to pay his doctor's
hill and buy him it suit of clothes,
Assessor C. L. Schmidt has divided
the county for assessment purposes into
hhvuii districts and appointed six depu
ties to assess (lie six districts outside The
Dalles and its immediate surroundings,
K. B. Wood has been appointed to as
sess the Mosier district; M. II. Nickel
sen, Hood River and Cascade Locks;
Henry Hudson, Sr., Bovd, Dufur and
Right Milu; M unlock Mcl.eod, Kings,
ley ; Asa G, Htogsdill, Tygh, Wamic and
Wapimtia, and Fred VV. Wallace, Ante
lope and Bakeoven. The deputies will
commence work as soon as they are fur
nished with the township plate made
necessary by the new assessment law.
Mr. Schmidt is hard at work checking
tip deeded property and placing it on
the township and city plats.
When those who were on the inside
track of the late Corbett campaign "talk
out in meetln' " they say things that
furnish rich food for thought to us unso
phisticated folks who were far removed
from the scene of the conflict. Said one
of these, who edits a VHlley sheet that
was rabidly Corbett during tho cam
paign, to a Dalles man not many hours
ago : "It is a shame and a disgrace that
Corbett wasn't elected after spending all
tho money hn did to procure his elec
tion. Tho old man has more sense than
all bis advisers. If it had not been for
that fool, Graham Glass, no one would
oyer have heard a word about that $1500
that tho state house jinitor got away
with. It was through Glass' fool idiocy
that the janitor was arrested and the
thing exposeeil. Corbett propoeed to
give the janitor $:)500 more to keep his
mouth shut, bnt Glaes would have his
way, and you know the result."
St. Patrick's day passed oil' quietly at
Tne Dalles, and, while the ceremony ol
"drownin' the shamrock" wasdoubtless
religiously observed, the lino of decorum
was not transgressed in any instanco
that came under the eye of tiie reporter.
Nearly everybody on the street wore
some emblem in honor of Ireland's
patron saint. The most picturesque
adornment in this lino was that worn
by Tom Ward, tho liveryman. An im
maculately dudish collar that reached to
the tips of his ears formed a fitting back
ground for a necktie made of broad,
green ribbon, with a bow that extended
from slioulde- to shoulder and ends that
fell to below bis waist. On the collar of
his coat was an immense imitation
shamrock, crowned with a harp large
enough to have been modeled after the
one that "once through Tara's halls the
Boul of music shed." On his feet were a
pair of green socks, and to show off
these to due advantage as ho perambu
lated the street, he grabbed up his tin
mentionables as a lady does her skirts
while walking across a duck puddle.
The Split Infinitive.
References are frequently heard of late
years to the so-called "split or cleft in
flnitive." An infinitive is said to be
split, or cleft when a modifier is inserted
between the "to" and the verb itself.
For example: "To earnestly seek piety
Is to find it." "One must work in or
der to really accomplish anything."
"They sought to in that way ohtain
their end." "They voted us $25 a
month to still further increase the li
brary." In these sentences "earnestly,"
"really," "in that way" and "still fur
ther" cut or cleave the four infinitives
"to seek," "to accomplish," "to attain"
and "to increase."
As soon as a split infinitive was dis
covered and named students set them
selves the task of searching among the
classics for examples of it. They found
that most of the best writers use the
split infinitive rarely; some of them not
at all. As a result of the discusBionB
and investigation of the subject, present
use on .the whole condemns the con
struction. Some critics have instituted
a warfare against it, and point out cur
rent instances of it for correction, at the
same time that they acknowledge that
in an exceptional case it might he allow
able. Their position is Hint though a
split infinitive might Voselbly bo strong
er or more emphatic than a whole one
under rare circumstances, in the vast
majority of cases it is decidedly weaker.
