.suit the times. It shall continue to be my aim to give
THE MOST GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONET,
And to place before my patrons a variety of articles not to be found
in any other house. It is not my intention to mislead the public by

An Arkansas man who had hiul nn In
valid wife, concluded to got rid of her.
Ho loaded both barrels of a shotgun and
attempted to shoot her in bed, but the
caps only snapped. Tliea he reversed the
weapon and attempted to dash out the
sullerer's brains. Tho stock struck tho
bed-post, tho loads wero discharged and
tho two charges of shot entered his
lungs. Thero were few mourners.
Tho wit of Secretary Evnrts, says Mrs.
Grundv. seems to havo descended to his
children. Ho said to n friend here: "I
have received a letter from one of my
little girls, and she writer: "Dear papa
Thank jou very kindly for tho donkey
you sent me, but he's so lonely. Won't
you soon bo home, papa?' "
When n pretty young lady and her
aunt wero knocked down by a cart the
other day, some flashily dressed young
men at onco rushed forward and helped
them up. It is supposed tnat they are
gamblers, from tho fact that they first as
sisted the young lady, and then "raised
tho auto."
Tho following neat reply of Miss 8to

difference Is, that many people that I
loft unmarried are now married, but
more that I left married are unmarried."

(From th Portland Labor World. 1
There may be a great deal of poetry In a
name, bnt whether Obemeketa be a poetical
word or not, there la something about It more
enduring than the merejlnsjle of words. Iu
the Indian dialect the word means "home."
and In oar experience m a teacher, It means
"home" In English and a home, too, that U
wortDT the appellation. In out travels over
nearly every State in the Union, we have
never round "homt" more comfortable In
all Ita appointments. The house Itself Is one
of the largest and beat In OreKon. In archi
tecture It wonld be a credit to any olty In
America. In Ita Internal arrangements It Is
designed for comfort and convenience, and
In Its present management, there Is not a
weary, way-worn travelor Iu the land, who
wonld not hall Its well-dlaclpllaed appoint
monta with Joy.
The Chi meketa la a credit to the capital cltv
of Oregon, It baa about 160 rooms eomo of
them In aa tine suits as can bo round any
where, and every room is large and well
ventilated, The hotel has been In operation
long enough to become well and favorably
known nil over the Paolllo Coast.
S. F. Mathews In the genial host, and a
man more perfectly adapted to his business
cannot bo found. Mr, Mathews Is a natlvo
of New Hampshire, but tor a long tlmoa
resident or Minnesota, tour years ago no
came to Oregon, and for threo years was the
genial host of the HI. Cbarlos hotel, In Alba
ny, wbera he made a host of frlonds whoso
good will follow him to his now fiold of
labor. Ills twelve years' experience as land
lord, has all culminated in an effort to make
tho Chomoketa what a hotel Nhould be In the
groatcommonweatk of Oregon. All success
to tho genial and oompamonablo host and
Ennce of hotel keopers. Is the echo from tho
earl of everyone who has evor abarodthe
