wHIsKEY RING DEFEATED.

Perhaps the bitterest fight for bet
ter municipal morals that was wit
messed in the United States at the cleo
don last Tuesday. was conducted in
the city OF Memphis, Tenn, led by th (
News-Scimitar one of the oldest and
most influential papers in the south.
When the News-Scimitar began its
light upon the saloons which had
dominated Memphis for so years,
every business man threw up his
aands in horror. Business rushed
AWAY from the paper like tides going
out to sea, leaving the shore stripped
naked to the view.
For three months it seemed that the
7aper would be forced to suspend. So
firmly was the saloon ingrafted into
the business life and political life of
:he city that all kinds of legitimate
business seemed to shudder when the
Etfoons spoke.
Tine News-Scimitar was cursed. boy
oOttedl abused, its editor assaulted by
hired thugs, its property threatened
Eith destruction, its employees ostra-
SiZed and assaulted and a perfect
campaign of annihilation was conduct
ed against the entire business-Gll be-
cause it stood for the suppression of
gambling Sunday closing of saloons
and the elimination of the saloon in
fluence from the public policy of the
great commercial center of Tennessee
Then finally the decent business
men came to their senses.
They asked themselves what the
pubIic-spirited and devoted old paper
had done to merit this warfare from
the very best blood of the city? They
asked themselves If its fight for decen'
Ey was not right? They said they
would not be dominated by a few
Aired thugs and blacklegs employed
by the saloon gang, and then thing!
sook a turn.
Public sentiment revolted at the
campaign of abuse against the paper
which had done more for the upbuild
gng Of Memphis than all other influ
snces combined, and the saloons wer'
slapped soundly in the face by the de
cent business men who advertised
where they pleased and supported
Ehom they liked.
The entire city government was il
she hands of the saloon gang, from
mayor down to dog catcher Ever!
energy was bent by both sides to viii
the victory.
And when the votes were counted
ghe News-S -Scimitar had won by loni
odds, electlng the mayor, aldermen
public committees and all the petit
officials which had been conceded t
The saloon gang.
So Memphis redeemed hersel
through the self-sacrificing efforts o
her oldest newspaper which dared tn
Hhiskey ring and defeated it.

Its a good
Square Piano

Then, we are continually taking in
exchange, both organs and pianos as
part payment for new ones. Here is
one. a Fischer upright, it has been
used a good deal but is in fine shape
can be had for $4,000. Five dollars
per month payments will be accepted
on used pianos.
Never before in Pendleton have
pianos been sold for so low a figure
and please remember, 1t is Eilers
Piano House, the largest dealers in
the west.
Remember that they sell the finest
pianos in the world--rhe Chickering,
Weber, Kimball Hobart NJ. Gable,
Marshall & Wendell, Schumann, Had
dorff, Decker and about 80 others OF
the best makes.
Remember, that Eilers Piano House
sold more pianos last year than all
the other dealers on the coast put to-
gether. The large dealer can obtain
results from mere volume of sales as
he can afford a small margin OF
profit.
This fact means that Eilers Plano
House will sell you a piano at whole
sale-sell you piano at the same
price the small dealer or agent pays.
Every advantage Is offered to the
purchaser from our Pendleton store
You have the worlds finest pianos ant
organs to select from and you have

Even BOOSTERS Are Muzzled.

A dispatch from Mt Vernon, n. Y, says:
The endeavor to observe the curfew law here
in the fullest sense of the word has been
productive of some unusual results The town
is quiet. exceedingly so, but this state of affairs
has been brought about by recourse to extra
ordinary means. Dogs given to baying at
the moon and proud chantielers that announce
the dawn of day hours in advance are being
muzzled and in his efforts to prevent lntrac-
ton of the statute the Mount Vernon commu-
ter spent a sleepless night. Many OF them
carried home muzzles. The dog muzzle IS
one that gives the dog chance to growl and
even bite. but does not permit him to open
his mouth wide enough TO howl at the moon
or bark.
The chicken muzzle is a new invention. 1t
Is a niece of wire that fits over the bill and has
a little metal cap attached, similar to the ones
that are used on oil cans, and attached by
chain. The cap in this case rests loosely
upon the bill of the rooster. As long as he
holds his head down it does not worry him and
even permits him to feed. When he raises
his head and extends his neck and goes to
crow the raising of the head causes the wire
that keeps the cap in position to tighten and
the bill is thus forced inside the cap.
The cap was invented to keep chickens
from scratching in garden by keeping their
heads up, but it failed to work that way, and
by a slight adjustment of the wire it is now an
anti.crowing muzzle. These are to be had
upon application at the police station, and to-
day Chief Foley had for use the patent dog
muzzle This dog muzzle is fitted with an
automatic clasp, released in the same way that
the harness of fire horses is released.
In the few houses that have not been bur,
garized this season in Mount Vernon, and
which because of this reason are likely to be
visited by thieves, the dog will be supplied
with this muzze. By connecting it with the
burglar alarm the muzzle will be released
when window is raised. Then the dog may
bark In this way he will become an auxii'
airy to the police force, and the bark of dog
will be instant notice that the burglar has
raised a window or opened door.

The Best Kind of Husband

From New York journal.
The best kind Of man, the one who
makes the best husband and father, is the
normal wholesome, everyday man.
He has No morbid ideas about woman.
lie judges her from the same healthy
minded standard as Le judges all else,
The morbid, introspectiye man will al
WAYS command a certain amount of inter
ct from women.
They do not understand him, and there
fore feel that he must be worth iuyestiga-
ting
As i rule he Is not,
lie is pessimis,ic, self centred and much
given to phllosophizing on subjects which
he knows little or nothing about.
His admirers are chiefly Young girls.
Men have not much use for him, his
business Judgment Is no, very reliable and
he i, not manly and Jolly enough to be
eampauionable
His mind grows 81 distorted BY his
queer. morbid views Of himself, women
sentiment aud the world in general that
he Is quite likely 10 end as a suicide or in
a lunatic asylum,
The great trouble of it is that he is apt
to make an impression on girls through
arouslng their sympathies.
Let a woman feel sorry for man and
there is no knowing to wha, lengths her
foolishncsS may carry her,
He tells her that she is the only one
who understands him, that all the world
Is against him, that her sympathy Is SO
sweet. etc.
She soon grows to think that nothing
could be more beautiful than devoting her
life TO Frightening the dark existance OF
this blighted being.
She thinks she has mission, and once
woman gets that into her head angels,
ministers and polentates cannot move her
What | would Ike to impress on the
girls is the fact that while the plain, mat
ter-of fact men may not seem quite SO
romantic they make ten times better hus-
bands than the morbid ones.
The best man TO marry is a man who is
doing his everyday work to the best of his
ability.
He is rock of strength on which to
rely. He looks after his business, his
wife and his family as well as he knows how.
He is the man who is making this eoun-
try what it Is.
He IS not a hero of romance, he is just
strong, steady, everyday splendid man. =.
He is manly, girls, and that means a
great deal.
The pessimistic, morbid man is not man
ly, and take my word for it, you will be a
far happier woman with the former than
the latter
Men are not gods, you know, and if
they were We grow very tired of them.
Don jump to the conclusion that be-
cause a man is different from other men
he IL clever or wonderful in any way.
And when he talks epigrammatically
about woman don imagine that he un
derstands her.
A man of this type is interesting enough
to talk to occasionally, but to marry, no.
Marry the man that you understand and
that understands you.
Then YOU Il both be happy

The emperor had the obstinacy of pow

the attempt, but relinquished it. Il can
