The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1889-04-26
MONTAGUE'S COLUMN.

Montague has the pleasure
Of announcing that his mann
moth stock is now being re-
plenished with new goods
weekly--his large and in-
creasing sales requiring q con-
stant supply Of new goods.
His prices will be 80 low that
for self preservation close buy
ers who pay on the spot for
their purchases will necessa-
rily do their buying of him.
1t is TO the interest Of every
person to patronize their
home merchants. The factis,
q town without merchants
would be a very singular one
in any country, and yet every
town is blessed GU with a few
people who always work
against their own and their
neighbors' interests by adyo-
eating some other place as a
better one than their own to
do their trading in. Lebanon
is not entirely exempt from
Whose who ought to be loyal to
and work for the upbuilding
Of their city, but who are un-
fortunately quite the reverse.
Much capital has already been
driven away from Lebanon by
this course, and many con
templated enterprises that
would have enhanced values
in this vicinity have been
abandoned through the ma
llgn influence OF chrome
cranks. Let us all work to-
gether for our own homes and
our own people, and the day
is not distant when we will
have as prosperous an inland
town as there is in this State.
Merchants here in every line
will sell you goods as low as
they can be sold anywhere.
They are always with you tc
help to assist in every public
enterprise. Montague voices
the sentiment OF the mercan-
tile community Of Lebanon
when be says that he will sell
you anything that You want
from his mammoth stock al
the lowest living rates. Hi.
stock is a very large one, and
the goods must be sold. DROP
in and be convinced, There
is no good logic in building III
other cities at our own eX-
pense.
The farming community
understand their own interest:
well, and they know that tC
make their land valuable and
sought after by buyers a good
prosperous town in theil
vicinity is just the thing tc
attract newcomers, and they
almost universally patronizc
their home towns. Our inter
ests are identical. Let oul
motto be, "Home against tho
world" /"

BOOTS & SHOES.

Montague keeps the best
line Of boots and shoes, as well
as a very large assortment.
Our styles are unsurpassed,
and no chromos or portraits
Of gimlet-eyed shoemakers are
necessary to make our poems
in leather 80 like hot cakes.
When you need anything in
that line which will do you
good service or fit comforta-
bly, your wife, your son, your
daughter or the baby, go into
the mammoth store of G. B.
Montague, buy your goods at
his we'll known low prices and
80 home happy.

Electrical Executions.

NEW YORK, May 8.-Upon the final
conviction and sentence of the hrstperson
guilty of murder committed after the LIST
Of last January the State will be ready to
execute the murderer without delay.
The electrical apparatus has been bought
and will be erected in esch Of the three
State prisons, Auburn, Clinton and Sing
Sing in a few days.
Gen. Austin Lathrop, Superintendent
of State Prisons, closed the trade with
Harold P. Brown, the electrician OF this
city, at Albany yesterday The cost will
be about $4,000, $4,000 less than the
State appropriated. Mr.. Brown sold to
the State three Westinghouse dynamos.
These produce what is known as the
alternating" current, in coutradistinc.
tion to the "continuous" and 'pulsatiDg'
currents. They are dynoInos which we're
made for ELECTRIC lighting; and have each
q pressure of 600 volts" 1t has been
demonstrated that the alternating current
will kill at 140 volts.
In addition to Westinghouse dynamo
each prison will require an EXETER, to be
used as sn auxiliary to the dynamo; a
strong oaken chair in which the convict
is to sit and be killed /; ali electrical cap
and electrical shoes. The electrical cap
is made of metal covered with sponge,
which is saturated with salt water before
being put on to the conyicts head. When
it is on it is called an "electrode," and
the other "electrode" to be put on the
conyict's feet is heavy pair of tightly
laced shoes with sponge inside. A wire,
after the !" electroded" CONVICT has been
strapped in the oaken chair, is connected
with bis shoes and cap, the warden Of the
prison closes ths "circuit" for fifteen
seconds, and all is over With the convict.

Covering for Cotton.

The following circular has been issued
by the State executive committee to the
Alliances of South Carolina
The representatives of the Alliances Of
South Carolina and Georgia, by invitation,
met the Southern Manufacturers Asaocia.
ton in Augusta, Ga, on May l, to confer
as to the practicability of substituting
cotton bagging for jute.
We are pleased to say that they we're
courteously received by the manufactur-
ers, number of whom evinced decided
wish to Join with us in our efforts to dis.
pense with the use of jute bagging. The
association, by resolution, agreed to pay
ten cents per one hundred pounds addi.
tional for cotton put up in cotton bagging
to cover the difference in weight between
the jute and cotton bagging.
Our representative contracted with
certain manufacturers for 5000, 900 yards
of cotton bagging-2,000,000 yards for
Georgia and 900, 900 for South Carolina.
The sgging is guaranteed to be not less
th.. inches wide, to average I of q
pound 20 the yard, and to be delivered on
board the cars at the mills at 125 cents
per yard. This contract will not be com.
pleted until it is ratified by orders from
the Alliances of both States covering the
amount for which they have contracted.
The mills will not begin to manufacture
the bagging till orders for the required
number of yards are received, therefore
it is extremely important that orders be
sent in as soon as possible, for the time is
short. Orders to be filled must be accom-.
panied by suitable bank references, or be
made through some party who is easily
known to have satisfactory commercial
standing. All orders for bagging should
be addressed TO S. Odenheimer, Lane
Mills, New Orleans, La, or to L. Lanier,
West Point, Ga.
The manufacturers assured us that if q
start ia made in the manufacture of cotton
bagging this year they will hereafter be
prepared to make it wider and sell it
cheaper.
NV, brethren, the manufacturers have
given US fair concession to partially
make up for the difference Of weight be.
tween the jute and cotton bagging. A
contract has been made by which you
can pet the cotton baggiDg. Itrests with
you to carry out that contract. Send IN
your orders promptly.
We suggest that this matter be brought
before each County Alliance at called
meeting, to be held at the earliest possible
date, and that action be taken at once.

Finally, he said "But the colored people
must do as Frederick Douglass has ad.
vised."
GLOW is that, Mr.. President?" asked
Murrell.
"Be patient" said the President.
so we have been," said Murrell, "for
two hundred and forty years. Now we're
getting little impatient. We want some
of the good things of life as We 20 along.
And, Mr. President, Frederick Douglass
does not know the colored people of the
South. He cannot speak for the colored
people generally. Here in Washington
Frederick Douglass seems to fill both
eyes. But you know there are other col.
ored leaders beside him, and the best OF
them will tell you that this Birmingham
movement will not do. Why, even il
you should succeed in getting any con.
siderable number of white men into il,
they couldn't get into the Republican
camp even after the negroes had been
driven out. The National Convention
would not admit them, neither would our
State committees. They would simply be
shut out In the cold"

of the interview, "you must be patient"
he seemed impressed, though, and asked
Murrell to call again. Boston Herald.
