' A pleasing feature of the meeting was the first public appearance of the East Side Ladles', Quartet, its membership be Ing the Misses Pauline De Witt, Edna Klippel, Carrie Ladd and Minnie Pryor. The young ladles displayed a marked pro , flciency In their vocal efforts and the applause that greeted them manifested In "no small degree the high appreciation of the hundreds of listeners to their melo ' dious voices. ' Frank D- Hennesay also assisted In the musical part of the meeting, and proved himself the 'same old favorite and sur prisea (jls fflnd!s1n answering a. second recall by in akin a .rattling snaecn in ta- vor MfheCltftLehs" ticket.

Professor Jffverest, furnished the instrumental music,- - r', V A Veteran Presided. ' D. J. Blakely, president of ,the Ninth Ward Citizens' Club, called the meeting to order, stating that he had been re ' quested to preside, but ha desired to waive that privilege as one too young, . when there was present one who, when - Lincoln made his first call to arms, was among the Qrsty to respond, and later, wherf' President McKlnley called for vol unteers, sent two of his sons to stand by the, flag In the Philippines. He then . asked J. L. Wells to preside over the . meeting, who, was escorted to the plat form by William Gatens, when the entire audience arose and sang the first stansa .-Of the' national emblem, "My Country, Tls of Thee." J. , Werlein's Speech. . Chairman Wells, after making a few felicitous remarks, introduced J. E. Wer leln, Cttlsemf candidate for City Treas urer, as the first speaker, who prefaced his remarks by saying that when the best element of the -Republican party find it necessary to leave their political Organiaxtlon and join In a non-partisan 1 Citizens' movement, something was es sentially wrong. The Republican party s known hitherto In Multnomah Coun ty was dead. It was not his Intention to read any one out of Ills party, neither did he want to be read out of the party of Lincoln, Grant, McKlnley and Roose velt; but he and bundtseds of others could - not affiliate with the party of Jack Mat thew under the disguise 'of being the Re publican partje." rHe urged all to support the 'Citizens' ticket at the next election, and to pay particular attention to its legislative candidates, so that he proposed charter canbe returned to the people Just as they presented it to the Legislature for legal enactment and so prevent' Jack Matthews from either killing or so emending it that on its return it wen Id never be recognized by those who had given so much of their time and labor to its perfection? The only sure way of doing this was to smash the ring by electing, the Citizens' ticket. Dr. Lane Spoke. Dr. Harry Lane, who has lived on the East Side most of his life, found himself among true and loyal friends last night. Most of those present had known him for years, many from boyhood, and his . reception must have been extremely - gratifying to him. Dr. Lane impressed upon the minds of all- present that the Citizens' movement was neither Demo cratic nor Republican, so far as parties , go. The better element of the Republi can party had broken aw.;iy from a gang who wanted to rut; politics in their own peculiar way, John d liundti with other cit izens in the effort to rid Multnomah County from ring rule. '. "We appeal to you," he said, "as good dtlsensl not as Democrats, not as He- - publicans, to uupport us in our effort. It i is a laudable one and we want your in dorsement. To Laboring Men. '"Laboring men have been told to keep ut of politics and leave It to their bet ters, a? iney were unable to govern themselvts. We have recognized the la boring men on our ticket, and ull we . ask is to give us a chance to keep our pledge to give to you an administration ef affairs tlmtt.wiH commend itself to all. 1 want to weigh my words well and be as mild as I can in my remarks. yVe have a paper here, the Oregonlan. It has been amongst us for 50 years. It h been unfair; it misleads the people, when a communication Is sent to it, ill .the, Weth are pulled out of it, and It is published under headlines entirely misleading. ' Its editor .becomes Intolerant Uke a tyrant impatient of an opinion ex pressed not in accord with his own. We k yon. we expect you to vote the CHI ions' ticket. Vot It as a whole. Vote it to -save the charter, If , that charter Jver gets "into the hands of Jack Mat- ' thews, there won't be much of it left." - f; Judge Dell St uarf. " Judge Dell Stuart who is not a candl U for efBoa, but a strong supporter of the Cltisens' movement, spoke of the principles involved In It. ,He believed it was not only time to talk, but to think and to work, as there were serious ques tions that demanded careful considera tion. ' " VTou are told," he said, "that the effort to elect a thoroughly independent ticket is a political movement. Is It true? I am perhaps as ardent a partisan as ever tralneu under the banner of Democracy, and I want to say that there is not a particle of politics in this Cltisens' move ment. Its one object, its single aim is to secure to the people of Multnomah Coun ty good government.- . No Dictation. "It Is not necessary for any Bet ot men or any party to dictate to us now to man age our local affairs. We can support a Citizens' ticket with the sole desire of securing the greatest good to the greatest number, and be Just as good a Republ ican, just as good a democrat, as ever, when It comes to a matter of national affairs. Elect the Citizens' ticket and you put Into office men who are respon sible not to any party but to the people, and no man will accept such a trust from you and maladmlnistrate his office. It will be to the people that our Citi zen candidates will hold themselves ac countable. We want to cut off party die tation and manage our own affairs, and the only way to do so is to vote for the Citizens' ticket, whose candidates stand before you as representatives of a move ment that gives assurance of better gov ernment to all." Applauded lnman. Robert D. lnman was vigorously ap plauded when Chairman Wells mentioned him as the next speaker. He spok briefly, keeping up his record as a man of few words, but he says what he has to say in an effective and convincing manner. He said that the political con dition existing in Portland today, if per petuated threatened the near future, and the Citizens' movement was a spontane ous effort to rid tne people from the scourge of ring rule. It means some thing serious to Republicans and Demo crats alike, and it Is something that all good cltisens have a vital Interest in. It la In the hope of securing good govern ment that men have risen above all party affiliations. Such movements only arise in cases of necessity. We have had thera before because they became necessary, and they have always produced good re sults. Two years ago the Citizens elected an independent legislative delegation, and the direct result was goou laws tor Mult nomah County. Now we are engaged .In a like movement, only broader In scop. taking In every county and city office. Not a man on the Citizens' ticket sought a nomination; but, .being selected, has accepted it as a duty, we have laborers, machinists, engineers, carpenters, law yers and even a doctor on the ticket, and all are good, responsible men. Nomination Unsolicited. "So far as my own nomination la con cerned, it came unsought. I did not want It, for business reasons. I have accepted It as a public duty I owe, and I am going to be elected. I want the entire Citizens' ticket elected. I want the can didates for the Legislature to be parti cularly remembered, so that we can se cure the charter that has been promised us. . We intend holding a great Fair in Portland. It will be the greatest event ever witnessed In the Northwest, and it will involve a great deal of work on the Mayor, and this and other duties de mand tnat.he divert his mind from a I other business. I have made up my mind to shoulder the load, and promise you I will use my best endeavor to do the best I can for the best interest, of the people of Portland. That Is all the pledge i will give you. Some have expressed the fear that I would be dictated to by a few. You need have no fear on that score. All tne dictation tnat win nava any Influence with me will come from the people and not from any ring or clique." Mr. lnman closed with an urgent ap peal for all to vote for the Cltisens' ticket from top to bottom, not to go to the polls as .Democrats or Republicans, but as citizens determined to secure to the people good, honest and economical gov ernment. Mr. Moser Was Eloquent. Q. C. Moser, candidate for the Legisla ture, was the last speaker, making a short but eloquent address and appealing to all voters without distinction of party to Join together in an undivided support on the Citizens' ticket. HiMi v If You See It in the Moyer Clothing Ad. It's So. The simpbst and plainest way to say a thing Is the best way. This la the rea son why the Moyer Clothing Company a!- way prints in Its announcements "When you see It In our ad., it's so." Nothing ould be simpler than that, and the ex perience of customers proves that the words are literally true. The New Tork Sun's greatest fame comes from th2 phrase, "When you see It In the Sun, It's so," and the statement, backed up by the record of the Sun, has become a house hold word. In the same manner, Ben Selling, proprietor of the Moyer Clothing establishment, Third and Oak streets. Is gaining a similar reputation for his mot to, "When you see It in our ad.. It's so." Not once has he failed in "making good" on every advertised Item. He Is con stantly offering startling opportunities for bargains, and In each Instance the Bale rproves genuine to the minutest de tail. Take, for example, his advertise ment In today's Journal. It contains three distinct astonishing price cuts in different lines of clothing. A reporter verified each one by minute examination. They are all genuine. The consequence is that Ben Selling's selling is brisk. KING EDWARD'S UNIFORNS. In addition to the field marshal's uni forms of the British army.

A FAIR ARGUMENT. If Municipal Judge George J. Cameron has conducted his office as It is said he has, in an able, upright, Impartial man ner, it is argued that he should succeed himself. If he has not conducted it in that way, the fact has not been made known, even by his opponents , for that poslton. And these gentlemen would probably make public such charges, if they existed. Judge Cameron has made a most ex cellent record In office. There has been none ot those little tales of scheming, ac ceptances of bribes, of debauchery and association with evil characters for per sonal gain that have marked some of the administrations of that court. His record has been clean, upright, honor able, manly. He has been fair to all classes, the meanest culprit receiving equal justice with persons of highest station. On this record Judge Cameron appeals to the voters of the City of Portland. Shall that record be indorsed? It ought to be. FOR FIVE YEARS. The Baker theater, which has been so popular with the people of late, has been secured by . George L. Baker for five years. The venture, so far, says Mr. Baker, has been In the nature of an ex periment, but the large houses which at tend nightly have convinced him that the project Is well appreciated In this city. An excellent stock company will be put on tne boaras nexi season, Manager Baker believing that to be the form of amusement the people most desire, and no effort and no expense will be spared to secure such a company as will be a credit to the house and emlnetly satis factory to its patrons. The house will close for the season in the early part of next month, after which It will be thor oughly remodeled, so that wher It re opens. about the first of next September it will be the neatest and brightest play house In the city.

J3 Introduces His Yamhill County Relation jfjv j to His Portland Friends. May 11, witnessed "stir in a little vil lage 'way down In Yamhill County, Or. Surely nothlna but a wedding could make "such hn excitement among the fe male portion of the population, or draw such a throng to the mtlt church on A busy Week day as fathered there On that bright May mornina. And a wedding 4t was Miss Polly Summers and Charley , whom ever- young man in the church regarded as th luckiest fellow In the country, had decided that this was tne best day, inasmuch as it was tne earliest posaio.e unuer the circumstances in which to take each other tor better or worse. But a alight cloud rested upon the groom's brow that morning, even as he stood up beside nis pretty bride to re ceive the minister's blessing. It shaped itself something liae this: 'After this little business Is over, what am I going to do with this little wife of mine: wnere are we going to live ana how are we soinz to suoaist?" After ths ceremony, Just as Charley nad safety guided his blushing orme throush the ahowara at rice and Old sboes, they were met at the church door oy tne taon. Josnua Tompkins , irony dear old Uncle Josh), on of the pioneers of Multnomah County, rich, generous and levelheaded. He x tended -nis congratula tions to the young couple and ottered to start tnem out in Ufa as a weaaing pres ent, providing they would make their home with him in Portland. . "Of course, we'll do it. Charley," said the happy little woman. "By Jove! It's the very thing." said Charley, and from that moment the ques tion was settled, and a load was lined off his mind. "We've just got time to catch the morn ing train at North Yaumill," exclaimed Uncle Josh, "and when we gei to Port land I'm ready to buy your outfit." ': ' : . . After a pleasant ride through the verdure clad pastures of the Willamette valley they reached the city and were taken at once to Uncle Josh's palatial residence on Portland Heights, where an elegant wedding breakfast awaited the newly wedded pair. After breakfast Uncle Josh said: "I am ready to buy your outfit; so what s first on the program?" "Oh, goodness knows; there's lots to buy," remarked Polly. . "Then suppose we buy lots first, ' sug gested Charlie. "Oh, you've got ev great head for busi ness,'' laughed Uncle Josh. "We'll, gp right over to M. E. Thompson's real es tate office, at 264 Stark. I can always de pend on Mr. Thompson for bargains is real estate 'because whatever he tells us about property may be set down as solla faet. He- controls a large list of desirable reidences, as well as building lots and ranch properties, and his Judgment -pa the good things is par excellence. Mr. Thompson is at present offering ta the public the Williams-Avenue Addition, and we'd better get there quickly and buy be fore the prices go up. I do not know of a better way for a young marrlea couple to start in life than to begin by owning their home, commented uncie Josn. "The Williams-avenue property is the choicest and cheapest ever offered in Port land, and it Is selling like hot cakes. The beauty about this proposition,' ex plained Uncle Josh, "Is that one can buy on easy payments. You can pay $10 a month and get a home on the Installment plan." The whole party visited the Williams-avenue property and before return ing Uncle Josh bought for his wards an excellent building site in a most favorable location, and he selected a choice block of lots as; an investment for himself. "Having provided a cage for the bird, the next thing to look after is furnishing for it," laughed Uncle Josh. Hereupon Polly energetically declared that she had heard so much about Henry Jennlng & Sons, the furniture dealers, at 170-17 First street, that she had decided to go there. The result, was that they were ushered Into such a bewildering display that the girl was at a loss how to select. But she soon yielded to the seductiveness of magnificent parlor suite, dressers, chiff onier and a handsome brass-trimmed bed for each room. To this she added an easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't forget a most convenient and ornamental writing-desk for "hubby." After the furniture had been selected, Mr. Jennlng took the party throuen the carpet depart ment. Here Pol lyi ordered linoleum for the kitchen, Brussels for the library and an Axminister for tne parior, naving come to the -conclusion that Jenninc's nat ures wera below he very whisper, of competition. , At this point, somewhat to the confu alon of Charley, the old man indulged in a half-serious criticism of his personal appearance. You are decidedly on style Tor a townsman," said he, "and we'd bet ter have a talk with Ben Selling, at Fourth and Morrison, about some new duds." After Charles had selected a new suit of clothes from the piles of fash lonable garments that cover the tables of the extensively stocked store. Uncle Josh declared: "Now you look like newly married man." Before leaving, naving round goods ana prices irresisti ble. Charles also Invested In a complete outnt of eents furnishings from tne late style hat to a dozen shirts, and he read. Ily admitted that Uncle Josh .had' taken him to the right place when he took him to lien Selling, the leading clothier, fur nisher nd outfitter of Portland. "Now," cried the old gentleman, "now for a picture of this crowd, in good old country fashion. We'll ko to Hofsteatef Studio, the best place in town; a sky Hunt equal to the best, and' beats tne band pho tographing children. He can catch tnem on the run. Hofsteater does not make a good picture once ' In a while, but he guarantees you a rich photo every trip. In fact his work is just as good as the camera and the Instincts of a true artist can make them. His work is wonderful in fidelity and finish. You can get any thing In the way of pictures at Hof steater gallery-from a stamp photo to a full size enlargement from life." At the gallery the whole crowd was photograph ed in a group, and uncie joan oraerea a dozen cabinets to distribute among his frienda. (Uncle Josh's picture can be seen at Hofsteater's studio.) "Great smoke. Charley; Where In the name of creation did you get that Btiipe? mat s about the worst weea tnat ever came in contact witn my oiractory nervp," laughingly remarked Uncle Josh "Step over here to the Schiller cigar fac tory at Fourth arid Washington streets, and get a "La Excellencla'r and then you'll have a gentleman's smoke. You must .have bought that cigar down at North Yamhill. The Schiller factory takes great pride In keeping its brands, the "Schiller" and "La Excellencla," up to the highest standard, and consequent" ly they grow more popular every day." Charley was so well pleased with the 'La Excellencla" that Uncle Josh treated him to that he bought a whole box and advised his uncle to do the same. The matter was compromised by Charley taking a box of "La Excellencla" and Uncle Josh selected a box of the "Schil ler," not forgetting to make notes ot the Schiller fine display of other cigars, to baccos, pipes and smoker's articles). While Charley was taking a few shots at the slot machine Uncle Josh became busily engaged In scanning the base ball scores, but was heard to comment that the Portland team would haVe to get a move on themselves if they wanted to finish at the top of the column. "Oh, uncle," exclaimed Polly, as the Earty passed In front of Ellers Piano louse, 351 Washington street, "I must have a piano. Home would certainly be a lonesome place without one, and you know I could not bring mine with me from the country." Uncle Josh was no ticed to examine his bank book rather lugubriously. "Well, I guess I can stand lt,T'-he said, "but, by the way, what piano would you most prefert"; "You know, uncle, I would hot have anything but the best, and of course that is the Kimball. For purity of tone, lightness of touch, beauty of finish and a whole lot of other good points, it hqp no equal," "You couldn't choose a better instrument." commented uncle. Ellers Piano House also bandies the world-famous Chlckering. . the dainty and artistic Weber, the beautiful Vose and other pianos and organs. . The whole party went in and were shown through the fine display of Instruments that cover tbe Door space of this big establishment. It did not takt Polly long to make her selection from the tempting display. She picked out one of the new style Colonial Kimball uprights in fancy Ban, Domingo mahogany case. ' "Oh, uncle,'" she said, "we must have one of these Angelus Piano Players also. Have a seat a minute and listen to It." They were both simply carried away with the musie produced by this truly wondew fui instrument, and when finally Uncle Josh was persuaded to try it himself, pro ducing the same wonderful musical . ef fects, although he had never taken a lesson in musio In bis life and could not distinguish one note from another, he also capitulated Jtp Its charms. : Uncle Josh was seen to 'So some figuring after this, but after all the two inCrumenta were dactied upon, and when Me had re ceived the bill of sale for the two in struments and all the music going with the- Angelus had been selected he re marked: "No use talking, these Ellers Reople are strictly up to date. Why, here i a little folding organ for $25 that one can aimosi buck in nis pocket, ano mis big pipe organ over yonder is certainly wonderful. I 'don't believe there is a store In the United States that has such a variety of fine new pianos and .organs to choose from, and .then in . these new piano players, self-playing electric pianos and land knows what not, Ellers r-iano Mouse certainly excels them an."

"If you'll .only con sult a good dentist like Dr. Wright In time you can avert that catastroohe. He is wonderfully exDert in savins: natural teeth, and is assisted by an able staff of asociates. it is tne aim of ut. Wright to Save teeth and not to extract them if it can oe avoided.

Uncle Josh was so well pleased with the worn a one ror mm by nr. wright and associates that he mads an arrangement with Jthenx- to care for the teeth of his niece laoa- an of nis xamnni county frionda. " . "Well, young folks, I'm getting; hun gry." exclaimed Unela Josh, .Ami jo am i. Uncle, ' assented Char ley. 'Then here we.ito to the beat'nlacs in town," said the old gentleman. "Come- over 10 m.

The whole fcarty went to House's Cafe, where an elegant repast had been pre Sared for them by the request of Uncle osh. House's Cafe la famous for its short orders; homemade Dies and cakes.

Uncle Josh called the party's attention to the soda fountain.

"Now, another place I wish to take you, children, Is to Wadham & Co.'s, where I want you to have a little talk on flour. Your visit to Portland would be Incom plete without a thorough knowledge of tne good Qualities of the Diamond 'W' flour. Why, bless you. there ain't nq flour umi can come up 10 in Diamono v brand," exclaimed Unclfe Josh. "It ts a perfect bread-maker, and is as cttrao- tive to the average woman as an Easter bonnet. It is made 'from choice nelecten fall-sown bluestem wheat, grown in the most tavorea section or tne eastern coun try, a section that has been famous for years ror its excellent nour-produclng quality of its wheat. .Bread made from the Diamond 'W flour don't a-et 'stale and dry, but retains the natural flavor ano, the life-giving qualities of lit wheat All Itaod. housewives use the Diamond 'W flour," commented Unole Josh, "and never accept anvthlne else from vour ero cers,' he added. "You might as well get the -best as- to -accept an Inferior flour for the same money. You can make more bread, whiter bread and better bread from Diamond ' W' than from any other nour."

Pol- ly vowed she would never use anything dui uismona w nour. waanams & Co.'s big store was visited, and Polly carried away a full supply of printed matter, pampniets, etc., aescnoing th Whole process of making the celebrated Diamond 'W" flour. ''By the way," remarked Uncle Josh, as he reached the street, "I must run over to the Portland Trust Comoanv of Ore gon and get another check book. Come along and get acquainted with Mr. Benj. I.

And as you are soma to keen a horse," continued the old gentleman, "of course you'll need harness. Let us visit Colllns-Preston-WUson Company's har ness and saddlery emporium. They are the boss harness milliners of this city, to my notion," remarked Uncle Josh. "There is nothing in harness or saddles that can not be had- of them. They have them In stock, or can make them to order.
