j. l.. FREELAND.
New and Second Hand Goods of All
Kinds.

1t may be doubted if there is a store
IN Salem more popular with the econ
omic and intelligent buyers of the city
and country than that conducted by
j. L.. Freeland, for this is essentially
store of the people. The house was
established five years ago by Mr. Free,
land, and has since been conducted by
him as sole proprietor.
Mr.. Freeland's stock is too diverse
to admit Of even a cursory mention
An idea Of it may best be formed from
his own words: 81 carry everything. -
However, the writer may mention
some of its salient features, viz: furni
ture, bedding, stoves, tin and glass.
ware, wall paper, guns, pistols, jew.
elry, bicycles, tools, household, shou
and farm goods. Mr.. Freeland buys
and sells both new and secondhand
goods. All new goods are bought
from trst hands at the lowest marke
price, and are sold on the smallest mar
gin of profit.
j. l.. Freeland is now in his new
quarters at No. 102 Court street, in the
opera house, having moved from his
former store on the corner of Court
'@ibNi' " III Ills new store MI.
tIeeland has three full rooms on two
noors, and his stock occupies 5375
square feet floor space. Besides his
new and second hand business, Mr..
treeland manufactures tents and avn
lngs to order. He also makes a spe-
clalty Of new and second hand bicy-
cles, and will soon put in a line of
popular gentlemens and ladiese' new
wheels, which he will sell for $50.
j. l.. Freeland is a native of the
state OF Illinois. He has been seven
years in Salem, during which time he
mas been engaged in his present line
OF business. He is an excellent Judge
or values, and is thorough business
man. Remember his new address: No,

The building occupied by the Hotel
Salem was originally intended for a
mammoth residence and has all the
comforts and conveniences of the man
sion home; but for the past two de-
cades the house has been used fol-
hotel purposes. and since May 1, 1895,
has been under its present manage

and fitted with electric lights Facili-
ties for heating by stove are afforded,
and at present more than third Of
the rooms are so warmed.

ladies' parlor and dining room are on
the ground floor. Toilet rooms are on
both the ground and second floors, and
free baths, with hot and cold water,
are at the disposal of guests. Free
sample rooms are also conducted in
connection for the accommodation of
commercial travellers. But however
much may be said in the praise Of the
other accommodation of the Hotel
Salem, the cuisine is pre-eminently
worthy especial mention. The culinary
department is presided over by
skilled white cook of long experience,
and the table is provided with the best
the markets afford of everything.
Choice fruits, delicacies and other ta-
Die luXuries are served in abundance,
and in every respect the table set by
the Hotel Salem is worthy the best
cultivated palate in the land.

the interior towns and surrounding
country, official gentlemen visiting the

Itous concern for the welfare and com

WHO MAY voTEf

The Salem Statesman asks ques
tions and S. T. Richardson, of th'
Willamette law school, answers q
follows:
In constructing the statutory quail
fication for voting at school meet
ings, would not a challenge lie agains
a man, or woman, who is not a prop
erty, holder and taxpayer, OF record
1T appears to me that the act o.
1891 does not prohibit any male citi-
zen from voting, unless you give this
act a strict construction and inter
pret the act as only applying to per
sons named in the act and exclude 81
Others not named. The right TO vote
is valuable one, and IT does not ap'
pear that this act takes that right
away. and | believe any male citizen
possessing the qualification OF voter
has a right to vote"
Suppose a woman holds property Oh
record, and IL is listed under her nus
bands name on the assessment rolls,
does her right TO vote remain
"She has no right to vote, unless
he pay the tax as her agent"
AS member OF a corporation owning
realty or taxable property, does the
property qualification hold good, as
20 man or woman, Offering To vote I?
"Each stockholder holds shares OF
stock in the corporation and the stock
is assessable, as property, to the owner
thereof, and II tax is paid on the
stock and the person Is otherwise
qualified, he or she can vote.
What sort of proof would overcome
an arbitrary challenge, having as its
basis the fact of nOn-ownershlp UI
taxable property in the district Z
Would the tax receipt of the year In
cdental to the election, or a deed,
showing title, be adequate; or would
an oath suffice?
"There does not appear to me to be
any method prescribed Of challeng'
ing or deciding the challenge. L DO
not see why the rules governing gen.
eral elections, as far as applicable,
would not be adequate. However,
think it is in the discretion OF the
election officers as TO the method
pursued, as long as there is no abuse
thereof"
"Any male citizen possessing the
quail liication of voter has right
TO vote" at the coming school cleo
tlon. Thus says Mr.. Richardson.
Well, then what Is the use OF laws
and supreme court decisions?
any male can vote then why
can't any female? Mr.. Richard
SOD has thrown out this decree very
lightly. He intimates that the
law declaring that voters at
school election must be taxpayers IN
the district amount 20 nothing so far
as "males' are concerned. Would he
let all woman vote regardless OF
they pay taxes or not?
We do lot mean TO say this opinion |
is given to help the push roll up a big
vote, hut we do not believe that
when voting at Portland, Eugene aud
other cities is restricted to actual
taxs payers, Salem has right ito
allow any voters TO vote at school

name of Jacob Luthardt. called at the
Central Police Station this afternoon and

the $1,000 reward which Police Inspector
Michael Setback has offered for the pro-
dution of Mrs Louise Luetgert alive.

gert within forty-eight hours and could
produce her within the same space OF
time. He said Mrs Luetgert- WITS within
a short distance of Chicago with friends.
According to Luthardt's story she Is in
sane. but has lucid intervals. He was
given a letter to Inspector Setback. and
that official not only agreed to make good
the $1,000 he had originally offered. but
promised to give Luthardt $500 additional
for every day that was saved In the trial
by the production of Mrs. Luetgert. The
man is believed &c be insane.
