As announced in. our last issue a pub
lie meeting was called in Odd Fellows
Hall on Tuesday evening, for the pur-
pose of discussing the New Chapel
question. Rev. J. II. Payran was pres
ent and addressed the meeting with a
very l~ustrous and brilliant speech,
which showed much acuteness on the
part of the speaker, and acted vehe-
mently on those present. Although
the meeting was not as largely attend
ed as should have been, great interest
was manifested, and each and every
one seemed ardently DESTROYS of push
ing the matter to a determination, and
subscribed very literally
A model of the structure was at last
formed that was suitable to all. The
Dimensions of the ground floor are 40x
70 feet, with a seating capacity of over
500 people. The building will be mount
ed by a large and handsome spire, the
exact hight we have not yet learned.
The cost of the church when all com
pleted is estimated at $1,000 and will
perhaps be the prcttiest structure in
the county. The plan of the building
may be seen by calling on the President
of the Chapel Association, Dr. Mayhem
Johnson. Sealed proposals, contracts
for the erection of said building will
also be received by DR.. NJ. Johnson, to
De considered by the Association, who
hold the privilege Of rejecting any or
all the proposals if they so desire.

A good article for the lowest possible cash price is our
motto, and we also find that most OF our customers have the
same ideas. During the past four weeks we have bought and
sold \ good many Goods. An article, with which we have
been very successful, is a real respectable looking Jersey
Braided and good fitting. The price is Two Dollars and fifty
cents. We have them cheaper and also better. In Dry
Goods we have several things at prices that make the people
most think they are too cheap. We must not always Judge
the quality of an article by the price. The figured LAWNS
that we are selling at five cents a yard are good and the styles
are neat and pretty. About 200 yards of light seven cent
calico, in remnants from two to fifteen yards, we are going to sell
for 5 cts. a yard. Some of the Dress Goods we advertised a
month ago for eight cents have not sold very well, so we arego-

JUDGING from the reports Of The
speeches being made by Voorhees,

chagrin, that he would have secured
more votes IN that section had he
never visited the western part OF the
territory at all. Mr.. Voorhees, Is too
smart a man not to know that he is
pursuing the course Of demagogue.
His frantic attack upon the railroads
might have an effect among igno-
rant and unthinking men, but, we
thank fortune, that class is in very,
very small minority In Washington
territory. Settled up, as 1t is, by a
hardy, progressive, honest, sensible,
thinking people, a candidate must
appeal to them with a reasonable re-
gard for their integrity and intelli-
gence, or he will arouse their disgust
and opposition. There are other
questions TO be discussed besides the
railroad, and, while we believe that
railroads must be forced to respect
the wishes Of the public, by legislat-
i've enactments, there are few men
who really think that the great car
riers that are doing, and will do in
the future, so much to develop the
northwest, should be cinched and
made war upon just because they are
railroads.

THE olympia Courier thus dishes
up sOrehead Adams: Adams, Of the
Yakima Signal, goes home after be-
ing refused seat In the republican
convention and through the col
umns Of his paper sets up a dOleful
whine that the republican territorial
convention was owned by the rail-
road; calls It "that railrOad affair"
The convention on the showing made
by the cOntesting delegations saw
at not to seat the delegation, Of
whom the Signals editor was one,
thereupOn he goes home and shows
to the world how the "gall Of disap-

FROM all portions OF the territory
comes the favorable news that Maj.
Armstrong; chances are growing
brighter every day. There has never
been a time since his nomination
that an ultimate election could be
questioned, but Immediately after
the session Of a convention there ex-
lists Il cOldness toward the fortunate
nominee on the part Of the adherents
Of the disappointed candidates. That
feeling has worn away as 1t should.
A man enters the race for nomina-
tiOn with the knowledge that the
choice can fall upon but one indi-
vidual, and ope is just as apt to be
defeated as another In 0 convention.
A man who rAisSss = ,ltSlapil iloluttneut
5f mo iSind effect hle principles is
too selfish to be worthy the support
Of any one, and acknowledges fealty
to no party. Maj. Armstrong; Sc
lection was a fair expression Of the
sentiments Of one Of the most intel
ligent assemblies ever holding session
in the territory, and the major ap-
preciates the honor conferred. He
will he elected, and during his term
Of Office he will never disappoint the
gentlemen who supported him for
the office.

why Is It," ! asked Of a medical
friend, "why Is 1t that there are no
beautiful women In England ?"
ut Is because Door people feed SO
badly from necessity that they can
not look healthful, and because the
rich aristOcracy drink burgundy and
champagne, in place Of pure water.
Beer, bread and old cheese" contin-
ued the doctor, twill not make good
looking women; neither will bur
gundy, champagne and lobster salad.
The poor live poorly from ignor-
ance, and the rich live on unhealthy
food because it Is fashionable. II all
our women would stop a moment
and think about their food; IL they
would consume bowl Of health-giv-
ing rice, oatmeal, or plain bread and
milk; twice a day, roses would come
to their cheeks again, their cham
paigney breaths would then become
sweet as the breath Of a baby, and
dimples would come to their chins.
And II our women tOO," continued
the doctor, "wOuld stop drinking
beer and rum, and stop eating salads
and 'rare-bits' at night, and astOnish
their stOmachs with pure water and
bread and milk, diabetes, Bright's
disease and dyspepsia would cease.
As 1t is, all our rich people are buck
ing their stOmachs and kidneys
against a copper distillery. They
are redistilling all their food, for ma
ture absOrbs nothing but pure water

THE Tacoma Ledger gives Maj.
Armstrong the following indOrse-
ment: Bainard's Legal PnecsdenLs,

Washington, d. C., in It's September
issue says: 1--WE learn that J. NJ.
Armstrong, formerly chief Of the
private land claims division, and
chief clerk OF the general land Office,
Is favorably mentioned as a delegate
to congress from Washington terri
tory. A more competent man could
hardly be found for the place" Such
is the estimate placed upon the
ability Of this candidate by people
among whom he has long resided
and who know him best. lie has
not perhaps the dash and oratOrical
fervOr Of his competitor, but he has
experience, learning, and good sense,
and Is one Of the most pleasing and
Influential takers in this part Of the
country; and these points Of advan-
tage go much farther than youth,
inexperience, a loud voice, and the
great disadvantage Of standing on a
platform which is expressly aimed

THE Harrington Times has the
following warm endorsement of our
townsman, District Attorney S. c.
Hyde, the republican nominee for

that "in placing s, C. Hyde, of spo-

kane, Lincoln, Stevens and Douglas
counties for reelection to the office
of prosecuting attorney, the republi-
can party has made a strong move.
Mr.. Hyde is a lawyer Of pronounced
ability, and his reputation for intcg-
rity cannot be impeached. His
strongest indOrsement Is the fact
that he has hitherto attended to the
duties Of that office with honor to
himself and satisfaction to the peO-
Ple-an Endorsement that will insure

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. %. - The
condition Of the evlcte1 miners and

cOmmiseratiOn Of the benevolent.
Legal machinery Is in operation

being constantly made. Every man
who refuses to ahjure the union,

an irOn-clad agreement to treat indi-
vidually with the operators, stipu-
lates that he will never ask for an
increase Of wages in concert with
other miner or miners, Is turned out
Of the house, II he happens to be on
the cOmpany's grounds, which is
usually the case. His place is then
given to man who will work for so
cents a ton, under the contract Of
abridged personal rights. As the
terms proposed by the operators are
little better than absolute slavery,
thousands Of miners refuse to accept
them, and want and destitutiOn are
becoming prevalent even before win
ter begins. 1t Is hard to conjecture
what the condition will be three
months hence. The tents set by Gov.
HOadley will not shelter One-half Of
the homeless people, and many Of
them are compelled to live in the
