Not to see our stoves andjranges
before buying is a mistake. Mis
takes are always costly. In heat
ing stoves we have the largest as
well as the most carefully selected
stock in the city. The stoves we
offer were not bought as an expert
ment but as a certaintv. We
know what each stove will do, ani
thev were bought for cash, so the
price is right. We have sjk' ial

At tlie Opera Houhc.
The play Damon and Pythias at
the opera house last night by John
S. Lindsay and company was wit
nessed by an enthusiastic audience,
who were delighted with Mr. Lind
say's powerful delineation of the
che.rai ter dl Damon. He possesses
a happy fai: lty of bringing out the
delicate shades of feeling as
wen as tne stronger passages
without tearing a passion to
tatters, wherein lies ' his great
success as a tragedian. II.
Hosiers as Dyonisius exhibited
some clever acting, as did also Miss !
K lith Lindsay, Miss Marie
Annette and Miss Lueda Lindsay
in their resjective roles. To-night
the company's great play Enoch
Arden will be presented, in which
Mr. Lmusay wul appear at his best.
This will be the last appearance of
this talented tragedian, and there
will doubtless be a large audience.

A BIG SCHEME.
A Froposi.ion to Iuvest About $75,000 cf
Eastern Money in Sewers in Tbis City.
u t
At tho meeting of the city coun
cil last night a proposition was
read, which is entitled to more
than the passing notice given to it in
the regular report of the proceed
ings of that body as published this
morning.
I ine scueme is a oig one, uui
' whether or not it would be w ise to
adopt it is a question that can be
etter determined alter it is more
tiXIv investigated. I he proposj
tiin issimplv this: A linn of .v
uis proposes to undertake t
onstruct in this citv a complete
system of sewerage, which will
cost from jfoO.OlH) to if 73,000. This
the firm proposes to do at little or
no cost to the city, but wants a
franchise for 23 years, and the
right to collect regular tolls from
property owners who use the
sewers, until such a time as the
city can purchase the sewers.
The scheme on first considera
tion would not seem to be a wise
thing to adopt, but when, fully ex
plained it may present a dillVrent
I aspect. At least there should be
no haste in taking action upon such
a pioject, especially with a L'-Vycar
franchise attached to it.
The communication was re
ferred to the comniitiee on health
and police, who will doubtless con
sider it in its different bearings,
and make an intelligent report
upon the plan proposed.

STATE DISPATCHES.
Po.tland's Jail Is Almost as Insccme as
Albanj'a A Mysterious Deatb.
Special to the IIxrald.i
Poi:n..xi, March 11. George
Becker, the 18-year-old son of Mrs.
Emily Hieridan, living at 145 F
street, died under very jteculiar,
not to say suspicious, circumstan
ces, at his home on the morning of
Sunday, March 2. Owing to the
fact tnat his case assumed the
color of poisoning, Drs. Band and
Weeler were brought to the bed
side of the sufFerer, but too late.
Within a lew minutes after the ar
iiul oi the'physicians the sufferer
was dead. The doctors at once re-
lorted the matter to the coroner.
n inquest was ordered, and yes
terday evening a jury, consisting
of YV Hanis, W. L. Higgins, 11.
llendie, K. Morrill, W. C. Warren
and (i. II. Lumberson, found a
verdict, alter listening to the evi
dence. After considering the tes-
J timony for a due length of time
the jury reported as follows : e
find that the deceased, George L.
Becker, caie to his death on the
'd day of March, 1S!)0, at 145 F
street, in the city of Portland, and
that he came to his death by a dose
of arsenic. The jury is unable to
ascertain by whom administered."
Parties who are thoroughly ac
quainted with the domestic condi
tion of the Sheridan family are
prone to believe that the young
man came to his death by his own
hand, and that the partially empty
box of Bough on Bats poison con
tained the full solution of the mys
terious stuff. It is stated that the
bov was very closelv related to a
woman A bom he dearly loved, and !
that of late she has led a disti-.fect
pated careei, and it is the hi; jiosi-
lion that upon learning these lacts ,
the hi
h-spirited, intelligent lad o
heart was broken with shame, and
the prospect of early disgrace
drove him to take his own life.
The fact that the poison in owdcr
form was found in his stomach
proves conclusively that the ar
senic could not have been taken in
liquid form. The mother says she
did not see the box of poison till
after her son was dead.
Deputy District Attorney Simon
truthfully said that the city jail is
so rot'.en and decimated that it is
impossible to detain a felon in the
main cell the entire night if the
prisoner desires to effect an escape.
This statement was . made by
Simon when, he learned that II.
Bush, a petty thief, had bioken
out of the city prison at 3:.'J0
o'clock this morning. Bush used
a common stick of wood, which he
sharpened with a case knife and
dug a hole with it through the
rotten brirk and mortar in the
rear wall of the ; rison large
enough to allow him to squeeze
throi.t: -i a vpv short time.
