SMYTRE HAS RETURNED.
Denies Story of Untimely Death
New York Larger Than Chicago.
Dsn P. Smythe, now commonly
known as Charley Ross, has arrived
home from an extended trip trough
iho east, which he took after attend
ing the meeting of the stockmen's
committee In Washington. He reach
ed the city on the 6:30 train from
Spokane last night and has now en
tered upon his duties as sheep com
missioner to which" he was appointed
by Governor Chamberlain during his
absence.
After finishing his work In Wash
ington Mr. Smythe visited In some of
the southern states, passed a week or
more In New Tork and also at va
rious places of Interest on his way
westward. He declares that he en
Joyed his trip greatly, especially his
stay In New York, which place he
says Is a good town and larger than
Chicago. He was much astonished
on returning home to find that his
parents and friends had been alarm
ed over his absence and he denies
the various stories regarding his un
timely death.
LAST COMIC OPERA OF SEASON.
An Excellent Composition Alth In.
different Presentation.
Last night Pendleton saw Its last
comic opera for this season. It was
the "Tenderfoot" with the famous Os
car Figman In the leading role. In the
past Figmnn has had a reputation
here, and many were there last night
because his name was upon the
boards. And the performance given
was appreciated and laughed at.
But the show was not what was ex
pected of Oscar Figman. He was
chased by a "cowlet," said many clev
er things and was the life of the play.
But with the bunch about him last
night he did not appear to the advan
tage he has upon former occasions.
To say that the support was weak for
such a high grade play as the "Ten
derfoot" is putting it mildly. Several
of those In the caste were here last
fall with the Zlnn Travesty company
and some of the rest had apparently
been recruited from similar aggregations.
The "Tenderfoot" was not greeted
with any stormy appreciation and
there are few who enjoyed the play
as well as they did Max Figman when
he appeared here in "The Mn on the
Box" last fall, despite the fact that
the reputation of Oscar Figman has
previously been greater than that of
his brother.

Kidney trouble ha
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidnevs. If the
child urinates toooften, if the unne scalds
the flesh, or if , when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it, thecause of thediffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

FIGHTING ROOK TRUST.
Baker City Rook Stores Appeal to
Text-Book Commission.
The retail dealers In school text
books will ask the state text-book
commission to protect them from the
ravages of the publishers when that
body meets this year, says the Baker
City Herald. They claim that they
are being held up and made to sell
text-books at a loss to satisfy the cu
pidity of the wholesalers.
Under the law as it now exists the
state text-book commission, which
considers changes In books every six
years, fixes the rate at which these
books may be sold. Publishers give
the retail dealers 12 per cent off
from this price. The retail dealer
pays the expressage and all incidental
charges, and when the operating ex
penses of conducting his store are
figured In, It costs about 15 per cent
to handle the books, or 12 per cent
less than the cost price.
Dealers all over the state are up in
arms over this outrage, that they term
the action of the publishers, and some
kind of concerted action will be taken
to force them to give the retailer a
chance to live.
"We do not ask that the price on
text-books be raised," said Carl Adler
today; "all we want Is that the pub
lisher share up the profits with, us,
and not compel us to sell at a loss.
We are going to bring the matter up
before the commission this year, and
present the case impartially before
them; so that there will probably be
a change made In our favor as a result."
The first British Journal entitled
to be called "a daily" was the Dally
Courant, Issued In London March 11,
1702, by "E. Mallet, Against the Ditch
at Fleet Bridge." It was a single
page of two columns and professed
to give only foreign news. The editor
assured his readers that he could not
take upon himself to give any com
ments of his own, "supposing other
people to have sense enough to make
reflections for themselves." The
Dally Courant was In 1736 absorbed
by the Daily Gazetteer.
In the British Columbia legislature
a bill to make compulsory the eight
hour day In smelters of that province
was passed unopposed. The bill was
introduced by the socialist leader.
Hawthornthwaite. who, two years
previous to this, had also introduced
this bill. The first year It was oppos
ed by the government, under the
leadership of MacDonald of Ross-
land,

PIANO TALKS
Visit a reliable house that carries a piano of established prestige.
Have the salesman present the merits of this Instrument Then go
to stores where only very ordinary grades are carried. The claims
for these pianos will, In most cases, be practically the same as those
expressed for the fine piano. Such claims are simply a challenge to
your common sense. Test the tone quality and the action of the dif
ferent Instruments; examine their workmanship, and you will require
no further evidence of the difference existing In pianos.
The fact Is there are poor pianos, good pianos, high-grade
pianos and artistic pianos. The responsible house will carry a com
plete line of reliable grades and show you plainly where they differ.
Then It Is simply for you to choose the one you best can afford to
buy. Our policy Is to serve all classes of patrons who want the best
' piano value for the money they have to spend. We have low-priced,
medium-priced and high-priced pianos. We can demonstrate that
every Instrument we offer Is the best that can be given for the money,
and we make no claims that are not justified.
WE HAVE FIXED A PRICE FOR EACH GRADE OF PIANO AND
EVERT INSTRUMENT HAS A TAG SHOWING ITS PRICE
ITS ACTUAL VALUE. ' ,
