Ono would think to read the ndvertisemeuta of somo of the morchnnts that this Is a very poor place to do business In. They are continually SELLING OUT AT COST. How do the keep up? Are they supported by charity, or are they and their advertisements frauds? Hear the Salem is a prosperous and growing city, and all its merchants are doing well and making money, and any right-minded man knows that when a a merchant advertises to sell "at cost," that It Is always at what it "costs the buyer." Men do not go into business for fun or for their health, but to make money. m le Capitol Adventure Company nevor advertise to sell off at cost, yet we are constantly 20 to 30 per cent, lower than any other house in Salem. Why? Because wo buy from ttrst hands and for cash, and get our goods cheaper. Now during tho months of January ar.d February only we propose to reduce our prices on all good and show the people of Salem and the surrounding country how we can SELL GOODS and not "Sell at Cost" Either, but actually make money at follews: -O- Ciark's Coats', Kerr's or Brook's spool cotton, white and black, perapool 2J cts All kinds, 100 yds, silk, per spool Sets Carpet tacks 2c pe rpackuge A large line ladles', Misses and Childrens' gloves 10 cts A largo line of corsets worth $1.25 reduced to 60 cts Good lead pencils, per doz. 10 cts A good Scrubbing Brush- 10 cts Good Steel and Silver Thimbles, each 1 ct All kinds needles, per pa- 3 cts All kinds ot Silk Button Hole Twist, each 1 ct All kinds of Dress Buttons, some that are actually worth $1.00 perdoz; per dozen 5 cts All colors Zephers, single, per oz- 3 .cts Good Spring Clothes Pin per doz 3 cts Good Lunch Basket,small- 10 cts Good Pick Handles 10 cts Good Axe Handles 10 cts Nice China Matting, good. 12$ cts 7 Pes.

A HOLD IIOBI1KHY. Seattle, Jan. 27.-At 10:15 o'clock a stranger entered the Elite faro game, which Is connected with the Bijou saloon. R. I. Burns was dealing. The stranger bet $1 in silver, lost It, and sat motionless, After a while the players dropped out one by one, leaving no ono but Dealer Burns and the stranger In tho room. Suddenly tho stranger arose, and at tho same time pulled a 44-callber long-barreled nickel-plated double action Colt's revolver from his pock et and said slowly yet firmly, whllo he cocked the weapen: "Mr. Dealer, I'm In pretty hard circum stances and must have some money, so pass over $200. and bo devilish quick about it too. Do you hear?" Dealer Burns loook d up at the man with a puzzled expression on his face, thinking that he must be fooling. The stranger said in stern tones, "I mean what I say. Fork over the 200, or I'll kill you as dead as a door nail." The dealer saw that the man was desperateand said: "Certainly, my dear fellow; you can have the $200," aud atthosametlmo reached down In the drawer and passed him $200, which ho picked up and put Into his pocket. The stranger then said: ''Don't say anything about this affair, and I will give you back $500. Consider this a loan." "Of coure I won't say anything about.it the dealer ro plied. "I want $300 more then," said tho robber, again leveling his gun full In I the dealer's fane. He got the money, tired, twice at a mill who tried to stop him and es caped. Telegraphic Troubles. Portland, Jan. 28. The West ern. Union lines to San Francisco direct, are still disabled.. The lines follow tho course of the Southern Pacific through Cow Creek canyon, where the blockade is as impenetra ble as ever. A large forcoof-iiien are steadily at work doing all in their power to repair the damage. As soon as the linemen step off the well iieaten path to mako their way to a duuijoJ pjla, they gj in up to tleir necks, and sometimes deeper. They then have to waddle and force their way through to the pole, which is not only slow work, but very laborious, and soon ex hausts the strongest man. Just when the difficulty will be overcome by the lines being connected, is a question which the mapagcrs can-' not answer. The damage to the lines has been so great 150 poles ina distance of 50 miles being down that it will take a large body of men some time to complete connec tion. Early in the day tho Postal had a wire direct to San Frauciscisco, aud the messages came pouring In, so that, In a short time, messages were In the office that would not receive tho operator's attention for several hours.
