There is nothing ; since the siege of Troy to -wtiicli it can be compared, sso garrison fever was subjected to such tremendous instructive offense night and day from Ind batteries and ships of war, as well . .... -t j as Dy cunningly piacea mines cumgeu with the most powerful explosives known to man, the gallant garrison under General Stoessell has maintained its position nearly a year. The sacrifice ,Qi me recorueu in iu&iub run mwui -j'-i something appalling, if an accurate "account is ever given out for pub- the world is quite likely to be led, as it seems that the losses ub high into the thousands. The fleet of the surrender is that it is the Japanese fleet time to pre- or the reception of the Russian squadrons now on the way to the ist. At the same time it assures to n strong base on the mainland. .o this loss and capture is not in essential decisive as the results have some considerable time been ex ited, it is, however, a severe blow to he Russian armies. It not only de- . . . : . i. .. . prives itussia oi b port oi rt-iugu JU ium part of the world, but it wrCA from her a most important winter harbor. Harry Lehr, leader of Newport so- ciety, has again given a jar to the jaded who imagine life scarcely wortjjl the while. The function through whic'h he created an oasis of gladnesB and put some of his mpwy into circulation was a birthday party to his wife's doggy. There were seven canine pets present and they were attended by five liveried butlers. The mistresses of the doggies were there, too, and after the dinner they, with Mr. Lehr, romped with the pets until all were tired out. The din ner to the doggies and doggesses was served in courses and was supplemented by a birthday cake. There is but one Hurry Lehr. No other example of splendid endeavor and unmistakable genius approaches him. He has money and puts it to the noble use of making a fool of himself and his associates. Seven dogs attended by rive butlers,' and the function presided over by a near relative dressed in a man's clothes. What a spectacle! Even an editor couldn't imitate it. Frank K. Welles is anxious to make a creditable exhibit of Umatilla county'B schools at the Lewis and Clark fair, and be should receive most cordial support in his efforts, says the Tribune. The exhibit at St. Louis failed to be proper ly presented in the Oregon building and was of little value to us; in fact it was detrimental, because of such a poor showing and the impression was given that the schools of this county were in a bad condition. For this reason special effort should be made at our own world's fair to overcome this impression and properly represent the good con dition of the schools of Pendleton and other towns of the country districts ot tho county, ' Mr. Welles, it given suftloient encouragement and support, will do this work in an excellent manner. In dealing with offenses by criminals of previous pood social standing we rarely look beyond the offender himself to consider the welfare ot the com munity, says the Atlantic Monthly. If, for example, a man steals, and, after his indictment for the crime, his friends or relutives repay the amount of the theft, in America that is the end ot the matter, and the offense committed against crim inal law devised as a protection for the public is entirely negligible. The greatest bank wrecker in American criminal history now lives undisturbed in New York. He never served a day in gaol for a defalcation of $6,000,000. The indictments against him were all dismissed a few years ago. He even seems to have returned to some sort of social position, anu the society columns of the New York Times, commenting some time ago upon a reception at his New York home, alluded with becoming gravity to certain Canadian guests as friends whom their host and his family had made "during their long stay in Quebec." Now it is charged that greater land frauds have been committed in Idaho than in Oregon. Probably an investiga tion would show that the state of Wash ington can beat both of her sister states in this respect.. Great syndicates by fair means or foul have secured pos session of the most valuable timber lands of the state. Much of this was purchased from the Northern Pacific railroad, which secured it under the lieu land act, but there is good reason for believing that a considerable part of it was secured through fraudulent en tries, perjuries and forgeries, as in Ore gon and Idaho. " Sickening Shivering Fits of ague and malaria can be relieved and cured with Electric Bitters. This is a pure tonic medicine; of especial benefit in malaria, for it exerts a true curative influence on the disease, driving it en tirely out of the system. It is much to be preferred to quinine, having none of this drug's bad after effects. II. Mun day, of Henrietta, Texas, writes: "My brother was very low with malarial fever and jaundice, till he took Electric Bit ters, which saved his life." At Mc Bride's drug store; price 50c guaranteed.

A Grim Tragedy is daily enacted in thousands of homes as death clcims in each one another victim of consumption or pueumonia. But when coughs and colds are proper ly treated the tragedy is averted. .

Finally she took Dr. King's New Discovery for consump tion, coughs and colds, and today she is well and strong." It kills the germs of all diseases. One dose relieves.

ESTIMATES FURNISED ON ALL KINDS OF BUILDING ON SHORT NOTIFICATION VVVvVVyVvVyyVVvrWyWryrWyWVVyr Our Eighth Annual Begins Monday, Jan. 2, Ends Tuesday, Jan. 31. For the eighth time we inaugurate this great bargain event, the greatest of the entire year, to which hundreds of practical, economical people have learned to look forward to and plan for; to make as many needed purchases as possible during this great bargain festival. Richer than ever before will be the bargain picking this year, for the stocks in every department will be well nigh complete. Every department is fuJl of bright, new goods, which have only just been received; but no matter how desirable these goods are or how hard it will be to replace them, our set policy demands that must be reduced bsfore stock 'taking time, and this year, owing to our grand collections of rare bargains we expect to break our former records of "January Sales." It is hardly necessary for us to remind anyone of th uniform reasonableness of our prices, of the fact that all our goods are marked in plain figures, or that all price reductions advertised by us are real, bona fide reductions. The price on every article in this store, except Bissell't) Carpet SweeperB, and Buck's Stoves and Ranges on which the manu factures insist on regular prices being maintained, and which articles are sold at a very small profit is cut either 10, 15, 0, 5, 83 1-3, 40 or 50 per cent. The price cuts average deeper this year than ever before, while the assortments in most cases are larger. Call and look through our store.

BUECHEL iecii of Portland, Oregon, Will be at the St. Nichols Hotel urdoy, Jan. 14 Sat Errors of retraction and musclar errors of the eye successfully treated. Do you have any trouble with your eyesT If so, I guarantee to give you relief. A few of the many symptoms: Headache, dizziness, aversion to bright lights, sleepy feeling while reading, bluring of objects either at close range or distance, frowning or squinting, smarting or burning sensation in or around the eye, fatigue or requiring a stronger light when reading j dark spots floating or bright lights flashing before the eyes. 1 You can't remedy an eye defect without glasses. You may sometimes over come, or in the parlance of Optics, "accommodate" a defect by persieteotfy taxing the muscles of the eyes; but you cannot curs it by that method of treatment. The only way is to supply the deficiency in the lens of the eye by the use of the artificial lens, thereby making vision again normal. Glasses fitted properly, accurately, scientifically to all defects of sight; artistically, as regards frame fitting and the of lens; satisfactorily, as to ease, comfort and price. We court comparison in goods, fitting and method, and require but an oppor tunity to convince as to the ease, comfort and pleasure afforded in the perfect vis ion. Corrections always given.
