WOMAN HAS a WIDE SPHERE.
So the Ladies' of the Aid Society Decide
at Their Debate.

So the Ladies' of the Aid Society Decided
at Their Debate.
Thursday afternoon the Ladies Aid
Society was entertained by Mrs. Cush-
ing, and one feature of the entertain
ment was the discussion of the ques-
tion, ""Resolved That Woman's Only
Sphere is Home" 7 he ladies taking
part in the discussion were, affirmative
Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Curtis and Mrs.
Hobson; negative-Miss Henrietta
Owen, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Baily.
The debators entered into the discus
sion with much spirit, and every pos
sible argument, both pro and con, was
brought out, though the affirmative
was placed at a disadvantage by
the wording of the question,
that the ''only" sphere was the
home, for few could conscientiously
contend that women are only fitted for
domestic duties, to cook, sweep and
care for children. All felt that they
were capable of entering into wider
sphere, and few at least believed they
were fitted for even the highest official
positions within the gift of a free
people. After the question had been
discussed about two hours: the judges
returned decision for the negative.
This was appealed from, but being re-
ferred to a vote of the house, the de-
cisiOn was sustained.

"Too Lovely for Anything"

That is what the reporter heard a
lady remark " no had been at the spring
opening of the Elite millinery parlors
Tuesday, and the pencil pusher was
convinced that the lady had not drawn
on her Imagination when he gazed in
at the door and feasted his eyes upon
the display of hats and bonnets Mrs.
Briggs had so tastefully arranged.
There were hats and hats, and the way
they were decorated would have made
a florist green with envy. 1t appeared
as if a whole green house had been un-
loaded in the store, and that only
natures choicest flowers had been in
the cargo. The predominant color
was purple: and the scribe being an
Elk, concluded the fair sex had appro-
priated the colors of that order. Sweet
violets and forget-me-nots were in pro-
fusion, and besides there were popies
and pansies, and an abundance of
black and white trimmings, which are
said to be favorite colors this year.
Those dainty little hats and bewitch-
ing bonnets are indeed too lovely for
anything, except to adorn woman, and
happily that is what they are for.

WHERE WILL THEY GO.
Unless the Cascade Reserve is Opened
Sheep Will find Short Picking

Sheep Will find Short Picking.
Since Washington has passed a
quarantine law that will in effect pre-
vent Oregon sheep from being driven
into that state for the purpose Of sum
mer pasturage, Wasco and Gillian
county sheep-ralsers will find them
selves without summer range unless
some action is taken Immediately
whereby they will be permitted TO pas
tnre their ilocks on the Cascade tim
Der reserve. The Washington law
seems little arbitrary, still it is a
matter of self-protection, that the
farmers and stock raisers of Washing
ton have insisted upon its enactment.
Viewed from the standpoint of Wash
ington sheep-raiser, J. II. Cain, of
White Salmon, gives these reasons for
the passage of the new law.
1.-THE new Washington law placing
sheep from the outside in quarantine
is now in effect. The custom has been
for years for Oregon herders to drive
their stock over to the region of Mt.
Adams where the range is good in
summer time, pasture the season
through and then return to Oregon
for the winter. The ranchers in the
fertile valleys of Klickitat, Yakima
and Skamauia counties have long pro-
tested against the invasion of sheep,
1r.a hn nd
spoiled the range for home stock. The !
law appoints stock commissioner |
whose duty it is to see that no undesir- |
able sheep are taken within the state |
and it is his duty to place all bands de- |
string to enter into quarantine for
several weeks outside the state line,
until he can inspect themsand pass on
their condition. He is authorized to
go five miles from the border to inspect
sheep headed for Washington and warn
the herders or owners back. The law
practically excludes the sheep and it
applies to Idaho and British Columbia
as we'll,
"The $4,000 sheep which have been
during the summer months
will either have to be sold or driven to
'he already overcrowded Blue Noun
,ains for summer range. This will be
hard on the Wasco and
Gillian county sheepmen who have
heretofore grazed their bands on
Washington ranges, and Grant county
will also feel the effect of the law. But
Mr.. Cain says that Washington stock
men must protect themselves and their
stock o" they will have to sell out and
cave"

The DalIes is Surprised.

People of this city and surroundings
are surprised with the prices OF house
hold furniture, stoves, tin and granite
ware, sold by the branch of the Great
Northern Furniture Store of Portland,
situated in the store formerly occupied
by Maier & Benton. They handle every
thing in the line of household goods
and their prices are so low that it is
wonder how they can sell their goods
and pay expenses. The fact is that their
motto is to sell goods with a low rate
of profit, and the management is, and
always have been quick sales and small
profits. It is useless for people to be
without a set of furniture in their
rooms,as they sell hard wood bedroom
sets with a German plate glass from
5000; cane seat chairs from Scots, beds
from S1.00; No. Z cook stoves from
$500, No. 8, 500; clothes wringers
s15O, the best Sl.75 rockers from Loo;
copper bottom wash boilers from 95cts:
tables from 75c, and other articles too
numerous to mention at proportionate
low prices. People from the surround
ing country, wanting to furnish their
house, will gain from 10 to so per cent
on every dollar by trading with this
Portland branch store. The time has
come when The Dalles should have
this kind of store, where the people
can buy their furniture at Portland
prices; and in order that this house
should remain a fixture here, che
people should insure a continuance of
low prices by patronizing the estab-
lishment that has taken the lead in re-
duced prices. 1t ia. testhe benefit of
all that low, prices prevail, and the
way to insure1h1s is to buy when you
get prices right ,r1,zs-a----

Home Again.

Last evening Ed Wingate arrived
home from the sunny isles of Hawaii,
looking bronzed as an old salt, though
in perfect health, and apparently has
been royalty treated by his new.made
friends, the hospitable Hawaiians. He
left his travelling companion, Fred
Wilson in Portland, and he will ar
rive home in few days. Mr.. Wingate
was infatuated with Hawaii. says it is
the most delightful climate on earth
and is country with great prospects
before it. Its resources are limited
only by size, for it is beyond doubt one
of the most productive places on earth.
He would gladly return to the islands
to live were the government more
stable, but at present everything in
the Sandwich islands is very unsettled,
and will so continue until they are an
nexed to the United States or some
other powerful government. When
this shall occur, it is possible Mr..
Wingate will go back to Honolulu to
reside.

FRESNO ESCAPES ELUDE PURSUIT.
Not Trace of The Robbers Who Broke
From The County JaiI-7be Officers
Puzzled.

FRESNO, CAL. May 27.-Frank Hall
and James Wilson, the robbers who broke
out of the County Jail yesterday morning.
ore still st large. No trace has been found
of them, but Sheriff Scott's deputies are
m maintaining close watch on the trains
and at every bridge across the San Joaquin
and Kings rivers to prevent the fugitiyes
from getting out of the county. The
PROBABILITY is that the jail-breakers are in
hiding not many miles from the city, but
the question which puzzles the officers is
how they are obtaining food.
1t is now over two days since they ate
their last meal in Jail and as far as can be
learned they have not appeared at any
farmhouse for food, nor has any one seen
them. The fugitives have disappeared
completely and the officers admit that
they are baffled.
The Sheriff office has received m any re-
ports to the effect that the escapes were
seen in certain localities. Every one has
been investigated and the pursuit proved
to be wild goose chase. Two men were
arrested at Los Banos during the day and
for time it was thought that the thugs
had been recaptUred, but il was afterward
learned that the prisoners were not the
men wanted.
How Hall and Wilson obtained the saw
with which they sawed the bars and cut
their way to freedom is as deep a mystery
as ever. A plausible theory has been adj
vanced that they were smuggled in TO Joe
Middleton, the outlaw who was recently
taken to Folsom to serve twenty years.
Middleton had friends outside who would
not hesitate to help him, but as soon as
he was convicted the jailer put an Oregon
boot on him and this prevented him es-
Gaping. 1t is thought that he might have
gwen the saw to Hall and Wilson.

known as "Texas Tom" and he is be-
Iieved to have been an OUTLAW OF CONSIDER
able notoriety in Texas prior 10 making
his residence in Modesto three years ago.
1t is supposed that some act in his ontiaw
life was the indirect cause OF his Kllilng
his wife. She was about to leave INN on
account OF his brutality, and 1T is thought
that fear that when once out OF nls power
she might tell of his former life led to
the crime. At times she spoke knowingly
of something of the Kind, but refused TO
reveal the story. The cause given Tor the
Observation-Disclosures ridiculed by those
knowing the parties.
Ever since the homicide, Berry has been
anxious to be sen tenced to death. AT the
preliminary examinatio and first hearing
be ore Superior Judge Minor, the prisoner
said he was guilty and in several dramatic
scenes begged to be put to death ana
pleaded not to be sentenced to lie lmpris-
onment.
Counsel appeared to defend him, but ne
insisted against their advice In asking ior
i'm mediate execution. when Inc ofoel
was announced that he must hang on
August 13 at Folsom state prison he Ter
vanity thanked the court. Being In ap-
parently buoyant spirits he made speech
to the courtroom filled with spectators,
saying: =.
''Good-by ladies, and gentlemen; De
good to yourselves, and you ladies VINO
are married be true 10 your husoanos.
Don't forget this.
On the way to the train he chatted and
ioked with acqEaintainces, bidding all
good by. He seemed overjoyed at the
prospect of ending his life on tue hang
m ans galIows.
