Portland Clothing Buyers are in great
luck. This great stock is to be sold
right here in Portland. Harris Bros.
are known all over the United States as
makers Of FINE GOODS. This season
has been very unfavorable for all makers,
and the makers of fine clothing have
suffered more than the makers of lower
grades. Harris Bros. had moro goods
than they had any hope of selling when
the STANDARD made them cash

taken quite a while to complete the

The service was sufficiently extrava-
CANT. The s74,197 paid in 1897 for no
better service, If as good, was more
than half of 1t thrown away. And yet,
II Hastings had permitted It, the ap-
preparation would have been $12,500
more, that being, in round figures, the
sum of the governors vetoes in this
line. The increase in the cost of the
senate clerks. etc., has been just about
as great. The appropriation for 1883
was s23,700. The appropriation for
1SS7-SS was $47,710, and was S54,976 be-
fore being trimmed by the vetoes. And
II William A. Stone should be elected
governor and a majority of machine
legislators returned, every item vetoed
by Hastings will be reinserted in the
general appropriation bill to cover "a
deficiencies in salaries, etc." passed and
approved.
The contingent funds of the senate
and house indicate a like degree of
fraud and extravaganza, even IL we
admit that the money is actually ex-
pended as professed. In 1888 an appro-
priation of $4,000 for the senate and
$4,000 for the house, to be paid out by
the chief clerks, was considered ade-
quate to cover all contingencies. In
addition, the librarian of the senate
got $1,000 for recess postage, etc, and
the resident clerk of the house got
$1,000 for the same purpose. In 1897
the appropriation for the senate for
contingencies was limited to $685. and
for the house to s135S0. In 1895 the limi-
tations We're s7,70O for the senate and
$10,S00 for the house. Notwithstanding
this, however, the actual expenditures
by the chief clerks for contingencies
in that year were IS. 800 in the senate
and s14,741 in the house. In the senate
the limitation was exceeded by $500
and in the house by nearly $4,000. It is
not so much the amounts thus expend-
ed that is to be deplored as the impu-
dent and daring disregard of constitu-
tion and statute law that characterized
them, and the evidence 1t affords that,
under Republican sway, all the depart
ments of the state government are in
constant collusion to loot the treasury
and swindle the people.

a Limbless Millionaire.

Portland, Ore, corresdonpence OF
the San Francisco Bulletin.
Henry Wendhof, of Mauch Creek,
Penn, at present visiting friends here,
is perhaps the only armless and legless
millionaire known on earth. His arms
were amputated below the elbow and
his legs below the knees twenty-five
years ago, so that by this time he has
succeeded in accepting his affection
most philosophically.
Mr.. Wendhof, who came here re-
Gently, attended by valet, weighs 200
pounds, and is as jolly as if he were in
possession OF perfect physical health
and all his limbs. His valet has been
with him ten years, and he says that
he yet has to see Mr.. Wendhoff out
of temper, despite the many discom-
forts his physical disability entails.
The afflicted man manages to walk
fairly we'll on two automatic legs made
for him in Vienna and fitted up with
an ingenious mechanism that materi-
ally aids his locomotion. He also
has two mechanical forearms, the
hands of which enable him to hold a
handkerchief, newspaper, book, etc,
and to pick up articles from the table.
These four artificial limbs cost $25,-
900 before they were brought to their
present state OF perfection.

Thousands of men in lonely homes call
up the pictures of the loved and lost ones,
who might still be happy husbands with
healthy babies prattling at their knees, If
they had only been little more observant
and thoughtful When a woman ; COM
plexion gets pale and sallow and her eyes
look heavy; when she is evidently nervous
and Respondent, and complains of pains
and aches and dragging down and burning
sensations; a wise man should know that
she is suffering from weakness or disease in
a womanly way. The thoughtful man who
realizes this will at once advise his wife to
consult some eminent and skillful special
ist. He will know that the average physi-
clan will insist upon the obnoxious exam
nations and local treatment so embarrass-
ing to modest, sensitive women. He should
know that these ordeals are unnecessary.
DR. R. V. Pierce Is an eminent and skillful
specialist who has been for thirty years
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical institute, at Buffalo,

ance of staff of able physicians, he has
prescribed for many thousands of WON.

medicine for the special weaknesses of

DIED IN A SHANTY.
Unfortunate Thomas Clark Succumbs
at the Mouth of Coalbrook Mine.

Thomas Clark died in a small shanty
at the mouth Of Coalbrook mine at
7 o'clock yesterday morning. He had
Teen sick for several days and word
was received by the chief of police the
night before that he was i'll. He in
turn notified the poor department who
intended to look after the case. Several
worlimen were present at the time of
the mans demise which was probably
due to weak vitality and exposure.
Clark had not worked for about
year owing to poor health. Before that
he had been employed as miner. He
was unmarried and of very reserved
disposition, seeming to care little for
the society of others. When working
he had boarded at various places in the
central city. He was about fifty years
of age, was born in Ireland and had
lived here about thirty years. One
sister Mrs. James CaWley, of Dorrarce-
town, Luzerne county, survives him.
The remains were taken to the home
0fHthe sister-in-law of the deceased,
J. Edward Clark, on the West Side.
Ind funeral will take place from there
this afternoon at $50. After the usual
services in St Rose church the body
will be inferred in ST. Rose cemetery.
