tempting, inviting and appetizing is our
stock of green groceries. It's enough to
make anyone feel hungry to look over
the display of garden produce that we
present for consumption by our patrons.
Everything raised by the most up to date
gardeners has a place on our list. A
table unprovided with these req uisites of
good living isn't half supplied. Vege-
tables make up the larger half Of a
healthful diet. You must at least meet
the vegetarian at the Halfway House to
really live well. Our garden show offers
richness for all. And groceries, Yes
We have them, everything Al and cheap

The Durrant defense have made a
bad beginning. The alibi, upon which
so much dependence has been placed,
was broken by the testimony of Drs.
Cheney and Gray, who do not know
whether Durrant was present or not
at the medical lectures on April Sd.
Another letter, either from "crank,"
or probably ruse of the defense to
throw dust into the eyes of the jury,
is letter purporting to have been
written at Orange, N. j., in which

There is no such a party-only the
Peoples party. There is no other silver
party and will not be. Mark that

How great minds differ. In the
counsels of the Bimetallic League,
held in this city, composed of men
from all parties-including the Peo-
pies Party"-the Populist orators al

sometimes doubtful indeed whether
they do not despise the white metal

are to form an opinion from what
their leaders advocate on the platform.

THE OPINION OF DRAMATIC CEN
TER.-The Oregonian is enthusiastic
in its praise of the Casino Opera Co.
in Mikado," and it seems that the
theater-goers of Portland back this
opinion by nightly crowding the am
pie capacity of the Marquam Grand.
1t says: "Theater parties are numer-
ons. The company is exceptionally
we'll balanced, the stage management
above the average. and the costumes
and fittings exceptionally approp-
rate" The performance, it affirms,
surpassed all former presentations of
that opera by either amateur or pro-
fessionals, in Portland. Still some of
our people who ponder the text "Can
anything good come out OF NAZARETH"
condemned the company unheard and
Others, who were present, damned
it with faint praise" The Oregonian
accords each performer a few lines of
judicious comment, and "Our Sam"
comes in for his share of the honors.

Disasters at Sea.

A Plymouth, Eng, dispatch of the

the Netherlands American steamship
Edam, of Rotterdam. on the high seas,
by collision with the steamship Turk
estan. The Edam sailed from New
York on the 9TH, for Amsterdam, car.
rying no cabin passengers, but S3 in
the steerage. Soon after the collision
the Edam foundered. but all the pas
sengers and crew had been taken on
board the trawler Vulture, which hap
pened to be near at hand when the
disaster occurred. The extent of the
injury done to the Turkestan is not
reported
The Spanish cruiser Barcastequi
was wrecked at midnight on the 18th
by collision with the merchant
steamer Mortera, in the canal at the

To Aid immigration.

One OF the best aids for immigra-
ton to the Northwest is the Monthly
Oregonian, which is published espec-
tally to make known the resources
which await enterprise and capital for
development. Every issue of the
monthly is filled with we'll written
articles, that state simply the ungarn-
ished truth, leaving its readers to
draw their own conclusions. 1t is
furnished at the low price of 80 cents
per year, mailed to any address. 1t is
suggested that it might be profitable
investment for the people at the head
OF Puget Sound to use it as the med
ium for making known our induce
ments for capital and to subscribe for
papers to be sent to the many letters
OF inquiry received by our people. The
late investment made at TumwateI
for a brewery, by the Schmidt Bros
was the result OF knowledge ac-
quired 10y our exhibit at Chicago. Mr..
5. said it was not alone in the excel
lence of the products exhibited, but in
their variety that he was most inter-
ested, and that it led to the conclu.
sion that a country which could dis
play so many evidences of superiority
OF soil and climate must be good
land to live in and one which would
yield an adequate return for invest
ments. The result is that the BROTH
ers have cast their lot with US for the
remainder of their lives, and come
we'll prepared financially to carry out
their intention.

Oampmeeting Last Sunday.

Patterson Grove, though sadly in
want of shade trees since the fire land
apt to be for years to Gomez had a
fair attendance last Sunday. There
was the usual liberality displayed in
the collections something over $2oo
contributed for rebuilding, &c. The
racings, the smashups, the bodily
injuries, the flirtings, and the nervous
officeseekers were also to be found
around and about roadways and in the
vicinity of the pulpit from whence the
pious praises loudly resounded. No
doubt some people were piously i'm
pressed, while many Others didn't in
tend to get near enough to the pulpit
to be seriously affected. Twas ever
thus since the days of the Feast Of
Tabernacles of old, and twill likely
continue until the last trump of Ga
briel is heard.

A Narrow Escape,

Master Warren Heilman, the 8-year-
old son Of Rev. P. A. Heilman, who
so narrowly escaped death last Friday
from a fall down cliff near Rose
mont Cemetery, in which he landed
in an unconscious condition on the
railroad track, and from which peril
Gus position he was removed only a
few minutes before train time, we are
glad to report as entirely out of dan
ger. DR.. Bierman carefully examined
the lad and dressed his injuries, and,
having found no bones broken, nor
other apparent serious injury, says he
will be about again as usual in a few
days. This will be remembered nc
doubt for life by parents and child as
a very close call indeed.

The Prize Winners in Bicycle Tournament,

Mr.. A. B. Hartman, of Espy, who
was awarded the mans prize in the
bicycle parade on Friday evening,
proved that salt-rive boats can some
times land in safe harbor. His repre-.
sentation was that of the celebrated
yacht "Defender," and it was evi,
IDENTITY about the biggest and triggest
thing on wheels that evening.
The boys prize went to the Schoch
brothers of Sellnsgrove, and the girls
prize to Miss Jennie Hartman, oi
Bloomsburg. We counted something
over hundred more or less decorat-
ed wheels in the contest, the display
being especially fine and attractive
from first to last. The excellent
music from the band heading the pro
cession was also very pleasing feat
ure Of the occasion. Though the
bicycle is no rarity in this town, the
streets were we'll lined with interested
spectators who frequently expressed
their admiration.

Ring Your Bells.

Riders of bicycles should not forget
the Importance and profit of carrying
an alarm bell with them. We give
the following illustrative case.
On Tuesday lady was crossing
Main street when a friend a little
farther down the street called to her.
In recognizing and responding to the
call her hack was turned to an ap
preaching bicycle rider. Coming
suddenly close to her the lady was
startled and came near springing into
instead Of away from the pathway of
the rider. Had she taken a single
step in the wrong direction, most
likely both the rider and the lady
would have been injured, and the
price of many bells might easily have
been demanded and collected.

After call for the names of the
various committeeman Mr.. J. c.
Brown took the floor in regard to the
modification of the rules, and spoke
briefly but earnestly upon this topic,
his remarks meeting with general ap.
proval.
AS will be seen by reference to the
list OF delegates present, "quite few "
were absent, and those present made
no reference to the Quay-Hastinss
contest, and hence the impossibility
to feel the political pulse of Columbia
county Republicans in this particular
fight.
There being a dearth of business
before the convention, it soon made
its single nomination and adjourned.
A call Of meeting of the county
committee Immediately after adjourn
ment resulted in the re. election of

IA. A. McKillip as secretary.

Rev, James Martin in Ireland.

Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 7, 1895.
Macrory Memorial Church. The
Rev. James Martin of Orangeville,
Pa, U. S. A., occupied the pulpit Of
this Church on Sabbath evening last.
The subject of his sermon was taken
from II Timothy, ~ Chapter and 9TH
Verse;" have fought good fight"
The sermon was masterpiece OF
pulpit eloquence-logical, powerful,
and convincing, and the large audi,
ence which heard it was held in rapt
attention from Its commencement to
its close. Many old friends of Mr.
Martin were present to hear his dis
course.-BelfaSt Ecening 2ele

|GOOd
Values

Don't bring trade until their exis-
tence is known. There's where adj
vertising is needed, but good values,
nothing else, keep the trade which
advertising wins. The one or two or
three first suits never make us rich.
We depend on the tens, ffties-hun-
dreds to come afterwards for that.
We sell them, but to do it we are
obliged to give the best possible values
for the money.
Yes, we advertise all the time.
That's the right time to advertise.
There's always somebody who has not
bought his first suit. Two are born
for every one that dies. What built
our business among the people of
these counties who buy clothing from
us will build it among others. That's
advertising. What kept these custo-
mers will keep others. That's general
satisfaction with the values we give.
This is one of our dvertisements--
our store and goods is another. You've
got this, now get the other if you've
not already done SO.

Good
Advertising

Has brought us hundreds Of good
customers; it pays. But advertising,
however clever, will not induce a Gus
toner to buy of us the second, third
or fourth time unless we give the
right kind Of values. You can't ad-
vertise man into believing he sees
wrongly. He must be kept when won
or the value of the advertisement is
lost.
You can fool a child only once
with sugar coated pills; one dose is
enough to set him thinking. A good
advertisement of poor goods is but
sugar coated jalap, and the result is
the same as in the case of the child.
We can't afford to administer disguis-
ed physic to the people. When we
offer sugar, there is no alias concealed
in the lump that would turn the Gus
toners stomach and leave us without
what we most earnestly seek-oft re-
peated sales.

GROUNDS.

This exciting event, being extensive.
ly advertised, called together last
Saturday afternoon about $50 of the
best riders from near and far, and also
a large crowd (near 2,ooo) of inter
ested spectators who soon filled al
available seating room on the grand
stand and elsewhere. Some chear
and elevated seats were also found on
the roofs just outside of the taxed in.
closure, yet the meet was a financial
success.
Aside from stiff breeze the weather
was all that could be desired, and the
racing was generally close and free
from accident.
The special features of the occasion
was the tandem and trick riding intro
duced by Messrs. Coleman, Gardner

Black, having sustained some injury,
refused to fill his program and Master

Will the trolley cars come for sure ?
This is a question that is now ag;tatlng
our people. The town council should
move slowly and cautiously in the mat
ter, and not grant any franchises for
which the town will not get an equiva-
lent. The tearing up of streets, erect
ion Of poles, danger from wires, and
risk to human lite are things for which
any company should be compelled to
give some value, and while the general
sentiment seems to be in favor of a
trolley road, no one wants to see the
franchise given away.
