HOES,
You're
Wrong
if yon have an idea, sir, tbat becanse
yon could not get a good pair of shoes
for less than $5 or $6 ten years ago tbat
yon are still obliged to pay that much
for a first-class shoe. Modern improve
mente in the manufacture of shoes have
cut the cost in two. Ten years ago five
dollars would not have bought such
shoes as we are now selling for
$3.00
Vici Kid, plain or cloth top, Box Calf,
Russia Calf in black or brown. We
have higher priced shoes to sell, but you
won't wear so many of them if you care
careially examine our $3 00 shoes,
Gome in and see about it. Spring
Btyles are waiting for you.

The bill which was introduced at the

This was but one of the large uutnber of
proposed changes in land laws of the
United States, and although the bill had
more or less support from western men,
there was not a sufficient demand for its
passage to have It enacted. The bill
waa favorably reported by the land

Rev. W. H. Harding, who has been
filling the pulpit' of the First Christian
church of this city for the past five
weeks, left for his home in Nova Scotia
yesterday. Before leaving tbe church
presented him with an unanimous call
to become their pastor. The call was
favorably received and Mr. Harding is
expected to return here with his family
as soon as he can conveniently dispose
of hia property interests at his old home.
Mr. Harding expressed himself as very
uch pleaded with the country and its
leligbtful climnte, the latter being in
marked contrast with tbe severe winters
of his northeastern home.
The dancing party given by the guards

of young people bent on having a pleas

the evening and the floor was in excel

midnight tbe evening was counted fin

hostesses for an evening pleasantly
passed.
A test caBe tbat wasn't a test case was
tried before a justice in Salem yesterday
under the new law prohibiting tbe use
of the nickle-in-the-slot machines. One
E. E. Nichols opened a cigar stand with
a small stock of goods and a "machine."
He advertised tbat for every nickle a
customer put in the machine be would
give a 5-cent cigar. There was no ele
ment of chance in it. For 5 cents tbe
customer could buy a cigar, direct. If
he put the nickle in the slot he got no
more than one cigar, however good a
"hand" he played. Tbe sheriff had
Nichols arrested and tried by a jury,
who promptly found him not guilty. It
Is presumed this "test" case was ar
ranged by tbe machine men as part of
a plan, the object of which is the ulti
mate restoration of tbe use of tbe
machines, by "getting around" tbe law
1 1 tome way. Just bow this end is to

G. J. Farley bad a talk today over tbe
'phone with O. E. Nye, of Walla Walla,
who informed him that it baa been
settled that that town will get a contri
bution of $25,000 to $85,000 from Andrew
Carnegie towards the establishment of
a free library.. Mr, Farjey understood
Mr. Nye to tay tbat' the only condition
demanded by Mr. Carnegie waa that the
eity ot Walla Walla should guarantee
tbe maintenance of the library for a
period of not lest than twenty yeara.
The citizen i of Walla Wa,lla expect to
ereot a suitable building on, on of tbe
main buslnees ttreett where tbe ground
floor can be rested for buiineai purpoeet.
It is expected the rent so derived will
maintain the library. Now, what is
the matter with The Dalles making an
effort to have a proposition of this kind
laid before it. Pendleton papers baye
been urging Pendletonians to apply for
a similar contribution. The value of a
free library need not be urged here. If
Mr. Carnegie is going to give free librar
ies to towns of tbe size of ours we ought
to permit no species of mock modesty to
Interfere with our applying for a contri
bution early and often. Will the com

can be done?
Kud or Wanted Life.
Ben Foley died at Tbe Dalles Hospital
yesterday afternoon about three hours
after be was taken there. Dr. Ferguson
had no hope of him from the first, for at
tbe time of his arrival at the hospital
Foley was in a state of extreme collapse.
The report in last night's Chuonici.k
hat Foley would recover was the result
of tbe misunderstanding of a question
relating to tbe matter that was asked
the doctor over the 'phone.
The body was brought to the under
taking rooms oi William Micbell, where
an inquest was held this morning. The
testimony of the witnesses added little
to what was already known. Foley had
bought 15 cents worth of rough-on-rats
at the Clarke & Falk drug store Wednes
day, obtaining it under the pretense that
he wanted to use it wherewith to kill
rats. He took the poison yesterday
morning, which contained from forty to
to fifty grains, eighty-five per cent of
which is said to be arsenic, and three or
four grains of the latter is sufficient to
take human life.
To probably a dozen persons, or even
more, Foley has of late said that tie
wanted to die. He was without means,
he was wont to say, and be cared for
nobody and nobody cared for him. And
so he died ; and from all tbat men have
said of him since he passed away (men,
that is to say, who have known him for
decades of years) it Is doubtful if, in a city
where he has lived for nearly half a cen
tury, there is one left to shed a tear over
bis corpse. " 'Tis true 'tis a pity, and
a pity it it 'tit true." But Ben Foley
bad no one in all thit wide world to
blame for bit loveless life and Ita tad
and detolate ending but himself.
The jury found tbat Benjamin Frank
lin Foley wat aged about 75 years and
that his death wat caused by arsenical
poison administered by hia own baud
with tuicldal intent.
