last evening at the VOgt opera house
and enrolled their names as members
of the projec ed emerge ICY corps. A
permanent organization cannot be

from headquarters in Portland. Ow-
ing to the generosity of our merchants
and the ready response of the ladies to
do the work. "a large box Of the articles
requested from headquarters will
be shipped to Portland tonight.
This call for help will probably be fol-
lowed very closely by another, for the
corps in Portland have more work
than they can attend to. and the com
mittee here want to secure as large a
mem bership as possible to aid in the
good work. For the present those
wishing TO enroll their names can do
so by calling at the Office formally oc-
cupied by The Dalles National bank
between the hours of 10 and ], and 2
and 6. The ladies who have done such
rapid and praiseworthy work are in
debted for material to Pease & Mays.

Came Home After Many Year

When J. P. McInerny opeued his
box at the postof1ce today he found
therein rather mysterious package,
and on opening it found that it con-
tanned nice American flag, inside of
which was letter stating that the
writer believed the flag belonged to
Mr.. McInerny. 1t was at once recog-
nized as one that was taken from Mr..
McInerny's store on July 4, 1886.
Evidently the emblem of liberty had
been n good hands all these years,
for it was as good as when it foated
out on the breeze on Independence
Day twelve years ago. No doubt the
flag was taken for joke years ago.
but remorse of conscience smote the
party having itin these patriotic times,
and knowing that Mac wanted to dis
play the national colors, returned to
him his long lost flag. Mr.. McInerny
will float the flag over his store when
news reaches Us that Sampson and

YOU WANT SOMETHING NICE.

The Place to Find it Is at the Great
northern
For one week the Great Northern
Furniture store offers elegant white
enamel bedsteads, perfect in make
and finish, at the remarkable low price
of S4.00. This is the lowest price such
goods were ever before offered for, and
such bargains will probably never
again be offered.
In other lines the Great Northern is
prepared to offer the best and incest
goods at such reduction that the pur.
chaser finds bargain in every article.
Low prices, nice goods and perfect
satisfaction have long been the crown
ing feature of this store, which has
made it the favorite furnishing house
in Eastern Oregon.
