Interest never flags when
the goods and prices are
right. In May we passed all
records in merchandising I
Helping more PeOPIetOgOods
at less expense than ever
that's the secret! Great
movements in merchandise
reduce expenses in all dj-
rections, freights on carload
lots are less than by the
piece, buying at the factory
means a big saving to US
And you are the gamers.
The Success Filter, as sold
by us means good health to
you and money in your
purse. The money comes
in this way: We bought at
the factory a car load of the
goods; everythingWas cheap
er and we can sell you a
six-gallon filter for $3.50.
The filter stone in a Sue
cess filter is made of tripOli
stone, minedinG eogia, U.S.A.
1t is fitted inthe upper cham
berof the filter and WaterpasS-
eS through it, all impurities in
the water remaining on the
outside. 1t may be cleaned
in a moment and will last
for years as it is six inches
in thickness, instead of one
as in ordinary stone filters.
The qualityis the best and
$3.50 for a six gallon filter is
lower than you ever paid
before. y

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Portuguese Calls for a Tax Receipt
and Takes Money.
Loss OF q Chiuaman While Coming
From Eva TO Town-No
Clue Found.

Highway robbery seems to be the lat
est that our crooks have succeeded in
introducing. A Chinaman by the name
of Sun Sin is the victim, and Portu-
guese and native boy are the richer of
the parties.
The affair, as related by the China
man, is to the effect that Sun Sin, a resi-
dent of Kalauwao, Eva, was coming to
the city about 5 a. M, Wednesday, and
had just reached Halawa when he spied
a Portuguese and a native boy. When
they drew close enough to be able to
speak, the Portuguese demanded the
Chinaman's tax receipt. The latter
thinking he had come upon an officer
went down into his pocket, pulled out
his purse, and opening it, was in the
act of drawing out the tax receipt.
The Portuguese spied $50 bill and
SO gold piece in the purse and immedi-
ately grabbed them out of the China
mans hand. After that he knocked him
down and called to the native boy to
throw dirt in the Chinaman's eyes.
This done, the two sneaked away into
the lantana bushes and have not been
found yet.
The Chinaman reported the matter
at police headquarters and every at
tempt is being made to bring the GRIM
inals to justice.

SUPERINTENDENT OF CENSUS.

Alatau T. Atkinson has been appoint
ed to superintend the census of 1896.
Mr. Atkinson has already opened an Of
flee in the Judiciary building and is
busy arranging details and laying out
the general plan for obtaining the usual
statistical information.
1t is highly probable that the date for
taking the census will be set for some
time in September, instead of January,
as heretofore. Mr.. Atkinson will select
his deputies as soon as possible and pre-
pare to add to the census of 1896 such
valuable features as the appropriation
by the Legislature may allow.

Mr. Peter godfrey Makes some oaustic
Remarks.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
Seeing in your issue of January 18th
that the road through Thon1p pson's Ad-
dition was in fearful condition and has
been the cause of numerous complaints,
I would like you to state if its condition
was any worse through '95 than it has
been for the last ten or twelve years.
1 went over it every week, and when
ever it needed repairs, they were done.
Some OF your streets in The Dalles are as
bad, or even worse, than Thompson's
Addition.
Now, if your Commercial Club is suf-
fering so for exercise, and to do good for
the country, let them get a dozen
shovels at The Dalles and keep the
money at home, in place of sending it to
Chicago for bowling alley, and start in
at The Dalles, right at home. After
they get the mud out there, if they want
to do some more good for the country,
come to Thompson's Addition and take
the road on out with their shovels.
That would have more effect than wind
in newspapers. kept the road through
Thompson's Addition and ten miles out
in repair through '95, and am willing to
leave it to people who pass over it if the
condition was not as good, if not better,
in '95 than it generally is.

WON BY DIPLOMACY.

Whether or not the first news that
came from Constantinople. stating that
Russia and Turkey had formed an alli-
ance for offensive and defensive pur-
poses, should be modified into the state
ment that only an understanding of
policy and action exists between them,
the report is of the greatest interest to
the civilized world. The dissolution of
Turkey must be postponed for longer
time, though it is delayed now by Rus
sia, and not by England, which in the
past has been the preserver of this mori-
bund monarchy. The alliance with
Russia was the only way left for the
sultan to act. Independence was i'm
possible, and an alliance with any power
save that of Russia would not have been
permitted by the czar. As vassal of
Russia the worn-out government Of Tur
key can continue a while longer till
some opportunity is presented, when
the whole machinery of the sultan's ad-
ministration will be stopped and Tur-
key lose its name as it has parted with
Its independence.
Time brings curious changes, and
Russia has obtained by diplomacy what
che could not by force of arms. Rus
sia's attempt to gain an outlet from the
Black Sea plunged Europe into the
bloody Crimean war, conflict that
gave opportunity for the display of
strategy and shining examples of hero
ism, but whose results were negative,
only postponing the events for which
the time was not then ripe, but which
; had to come and which, from the re-
ports OF the last few days, are now con-
summated. rrF
The opportunity is opened for the
clash of arms, for which Europe has
been preparing for score of years, and
which needed less occurrence than
this understanding" between Turkey
and Russia to percipitate.
