Nicholas Will De part About Augw 1, Taking Chances of l)ixpoKliir of Ills Long. Time Lease Old and New Estab lished Finns Are Both Confident and Vigorous and Look Forward to Good Business Tills Summer. Among business men today the principal subject of conversation has been the changes that have taken place or are about to occur In the city. One firm, tho Graham & Hun ter furniture house, has Just dissolved partnership; another, the Price Bros, furnishing goods store, t Is quitting business, while the Great Eastern is preparing to do likewise. Red Front Is Leaving;. This morning A. A.. Price, who Is In charge of the Red Front store at present, said his brothers have de cided to leave the city entirely, and all the remaining stock will be ship ped to San Francisco within a week. Much of It has already been con signed, and the remainder will be sent as soon as possible. In the opinion of Mr. Price San Francisco will offer good opportuni ties for small storekeepers during the next year, as the large department stores cannot resume business for many months. Consequently all will be on an equality. A. R. Price Is now In San Francisco and will take charge of the Pendleton stock as fast as It arrives. Nicholas Is Discouraged. B. F. Nicholas, of the Great Eastern store, said this morning that he pro poses giving up his business in Pen dleton entirely, and will leave for Col fax about August 1. By that time he hopes to have his stock reduced to such a state that it may be shipped to the above place, where another store will be opened. Evidently trade has not been. sufficiently heavy with the Great Eastern, for Mr. Nicholas says the matter of renting his location will not prevent him from leaving. He has his room leased for a number of years, but says he will take chances on disposing of his lease. Other MerchantR Hopeful. However. In other quarters there Is now a feeling of hopefulness over the business outlook. This Is among the established firms that have been doing a successful business for years and have a steady trade upon which to rely. They declare the changes are but the result of natural condi tions, as those who are going out of business came here without know ing the real situation. There are numerous things that should tend to make business good during the coming summer. Many men are being employed by the gas company In the establishment of its plant, and there Is every prospect for street paving, which will mean a good payroll during the summer. Also, the wool sales will soon occur, and good prices will prevail. In view of these and other things the outlook for the next few months Is regarded as good. EXCITING RUNAWAY. Readied Jackson Street From the O. R. & N. Depot. About 5:30 last evening an excit ing runaway occurred on Main street, when a team driven by Harry Bar tholomew started from the depot and dashed up Main street at a lively clip. They ran across the Main street bridge at a faster gait than Is permit ted by the posted rules. After reach lng Jackson street the animals slowed down and allowed themselves to be taken. No one was In the wagon at the time of the runaway, Mr. Bartholo mew being engaged In loading a piano. He was unable to catch the lines when the team became fright ened at a freight train and started up the street. . They Stand Alone. Standing out In bold relief, all alone, and as a conspicuous example of open, frank and honest dealing with the sick and aflllcted, are Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, de bilitated, nervous, " run-down," pain racked women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dys pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all catarrhal affections whether of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal passages, throat, bronchia, or other mu cous passages, also as an effective remedy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or Impure blood, as scrofulous and skin affections. Each bottle of the above medicines bears upon Its wrapper a badge of hon esty in tne run list oi ingredients com posing it printed in plain JiMglUn. This frank and open publicity maces these medicines m a euu nil by them- Klvet. and is the beat guaranty of their merits. They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither being of kntivm ctrmpotUUn. Dr. Pierce fonls that he can afford to take the afflicted Into his full confidence and lay all tho Ingredients of his medi cines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medi cines are recommended. Therefore, tbe afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for cer tain easily recognized diseases. A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter Into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are best and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic dis eases. Dr. R. V. Pierce can be consulted rail, by addressing him at Buffalo, N. Y.. and all communications are re tarded as sacredly confidential. It is as easy to be well as 111 and much more comfortable. Constipation is the cause of many forms of Illness.

The work of making out leases has been temporarily suspended at the agency office and will not be resumed until Wednesday of next week. The reason for the suspension is to enable the office force to become caught up on the work that has accumulated during the past few weeks. During that time many leases have been pre pared, as an extra clerical force has been at work. However, there Is still considerable unleased land which will be disposed of after the resump tion of business next week. Oregon Authors Represented.
