Notice of Consolidation.

To the Public:
We, the undersigned, have reached
the conclusion that in union there is
strength, and have entered into an
agreement for the consolidation of the
Great Eastern Department Store and
Sullivan & Bonds clothing and furn-
ishing store, and the two businesses
will be conducted under the name of
the Great Eastern Department Store.
| our recent controversy has made us
! friends instead of enemies in business,
and got us together for the better
ment of both stores, and led us to the
belief that being located in the same
building, and both carrying magnifi-
cent and large stocks of clothing,
shoes and gents furnishings, that by
! joining our energies and stocks and
working in harmony we will be better
/ enabled to serve the public and our
own interests than by being rivals and
conducting a business warfare.
BY the consolidation of our two
stores we will materially reduce the
expense of operating the business and
thus place us in a position to give
| better values than heretofore. Under
/ the past arrangements we have both
carried vast stocks of goods, much of
which was duplicated in the two
stocks and required the investment of
capital that under the consolidation
! can be devoted to making ours the
largest, best and most complete stock
of clothing, furnishings and shoes in
the Inland Empire. We propose to
make the clothing department of our
store surpass anything ever seen in
! Pendleton, and we will carry the high
est grades of clothing. QUALITY will
he our motto, and we will give values
unequaled in Pendleton merchandiz-
ing.
The consolidation of the two stores
will be made as soon as we have sue
ceeded in reducing our two stocks to
the size of one. In order to dispose of
the surplus stock caused by the com
bining of the two stores we will in
augurate grand slaughtering of
price sale. and will give the most gil
gantic bargains ever offered here. BY
the articles of agreement for the con-
solidation the store of Sullivan & Bond
will become part of the Great East
ern Department Store, and j. w. Sui
! livan and Charles L. Bond will be-
come stockholders with B. f. Nchol-
as in the Great Eastern Department
Store, which will be incorporated.
BY this consolidation and the ad-
ditional room gained thereby we are
better enabled to care for the
growing dry goods and ladies ready
to-wear departments of the Great
Eastern Department Store, which
have continued to grow to such an
extent that more room is necessary.
There will be a large arch cut be-
tween the two stores at once to en-
able the customers to pass through
and have their choice of the two
large stocks.
Yours for Business,
| B. E. NICHOLAS,

above all, woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases Of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
Others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day after day
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel, of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes !:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over a yeAr ago wrote you letter asking
advice as had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. received your
kind letter Of instructions and followed your
advice. l am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured will Lydia 4. Pinkham's S
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such a record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia +. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
II you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for special advice. 1t is
free and always helpful.

FIVE MORTGAGE TAX BILLS.
Substitute" Bill Passed To-day Likely to
Become Law
tBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1BUNE.l


Albany, May 3.-The so-called Substitute"
Mortgage Tax bill prepared by Attorney Gen
eral Mayer Cuthbert w Pound, the Governors
legal adviser. and q committee from the Senate
and Assembly Taxation committees, passed the
Senate to-day without noteworthy incident, ex
cepting the opposition of Senators Elsberg and
Page, who declared that they did not consider
that the caucus agreement which bound them to
vote for the former bill applied the substitute
measure. The measure was drafted TO correct
certain defects in the administrative features of
the bill now in the Governors hands and is the
bill that will probably become a law The prin-
cipal difference between It and the old bill is the
clause exempting from taxation all mortgages of
$4,000 under held by building and loan as
sociations.
Still another mortgage tax bill was offered in
the Senate to-day. Senator SAKE completed the
list Of measures bearing on this branch Of taxa
ton, and its passage, together with that of the
other bills recently introduced. would per-
nit Governor Higgins to place the statute
books a law embodying almost any phase of the
subject which he finally concludes to approve.
The bill carries out the recommendations of Ed
ward Van Ingen, representing the real estate
men of New York, which the Governor said he
would like to have the privilege of passing upon.
The tax ii provides for is one-half of per cent
upon all future mortgages, payable when they
are recorded. In all its provisions. except that
dividing the revenue obtained equally between
the State and the locality, it is like the old Bost
wick bill.
This makes five mortgage tax bills. which. in
the order Of their introduction, are as follows:
First, the original u per cent annual tax; sec
end, the Substitute" eXenlpting building and
loan associations; third the first Page bill, i'm

EXTRA SESSION IN JUNE.
Governor Higgins on Disposal of the
Hooker Case.

Albany. May Ex-Governor Higgins said to-
night that he believed an extra session of the
legislature perhaps in June-'a little later" nc
nut it-would be necessary for the disposal Of
the case of Justice Hooker, whose removal the
Assembly Judiciary Committee has recommend
ed as a result of its investigation into the
charges concerning Justice Hooker's connection
with the Fredonia and Dunkirk postoffices The
Governor said he did not believe the Hooker
ga se vyouId be considered at the special session
which ne might feel obliged to call Immediately,
10 cOmplete consideration of the gas problem.
The report of the Judiciary Committee the
Hooker case, presented to the Assembly
Monday evening, will not be moved for adop=
tion when IL comes up before the House as a
special order tomorrow morning. Instead
three resolutions, prepared at an executive SEES
sion OF the committee this afternoon, will be
presented by Chairman Fish or other members
of the committee. These resolutions provide
for the adoption of the recommendation for re-
movaI under Section IL Of Article VI OF the
state Constitution, but not for the adoption OF
the findings of fact. The transmission to the
Senate of copies Of the proceedings in the in
vestigation is provided for in the second resou-.
ton while the third authorizes the Assembly
Judiciary Committee to formulate rules of pro-
cedure 1t was shown at the meeting this after
noon that the adoption of the report with its,
findings of fact, would virtually place the AS
sembly iii the position of having found Justice
Hooker guilty.

BOTH WATER BILLS PASS.

tnr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrpUNE.l


Albany. May 3.--owing in part TO Senator
MaIby's broad hint that the defeat of the State
Commission Water bill would carry down with
1t the Mayors New-YOrk City Commission
measure both these bills passed the Senate
to-day with good sized majorities. They were
then hurried over TO the Assembly, which i'm
mediately concurred in the Senate amendments,
and these much battered bills now ready for
Governor Higgins's signature
At the last moment 1t was found that the
printer had failed to change the appro-
priated for the first years expenses OF the State
commission from $4,000 to $4,000. in accord
ance with the amendment Senator Malby had
made In the Finance Committee. but since it
was too late TO correct the error in time to
pass the bill before the legislature adjourned,
the $4,000 stayed in. For the same reason
Senator ElsbeTg RETAINED from Offering an
amendment to the Mayors bill restoring the
provision permitting the city to sell power.
Both he and Senator Bracket expressed dis
satisfaction with this feature of the bill, but
cast their votes for II.
Senator Bracket did vote against the State
commission bill, and explained why.
Il cannot see why the right OF New-York City
to have an adequate water supply should be
supervised by any State body" he said But
let US look this thing straight in the face. It's
simply a grab for patronage. There is no need
Of State commission to protect localities, and
the Republicans of this body have no business
TO make New~York's water supply depend
upon any such condition. It's old game
giving privilege and exacting patronage In
return"
There is no thought Of patronage" declared
Senator Malby.
Senator Gardner asked whether the bill pro-
vided for control over the acts OF the commits
sioners under the Mayors bill.
Yes" replied Malby. I'm a general way. And
1 want to say that l don't think the Mayors bill
will pass unless this does"
The vote was 2S to 8. those In the negative be-
ing Senators Bracket Cullen, Fitzgerald. Haw-
kins Human L'HoInmedieu, Martin and Nc
Carren.
The Mayors bill was totally condemned by
Senator Gardner. ut is extravagant and un-
necessary" said he.
Senator Elsbergs attack on the amendment
eliminating the power sale provision was an
swered by Senator White, who held:
IF the city of New-York wants water for
power it should go to the Hudson River"
Senators Cordts Gardner and Human cast
the only votes against this bill.

Mr. Jerome induces the Opposition
to Support His Measure.
Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1FrNE.I


Albany, May 3-The presence in tie corridor of
the Senate chamber the last two days of District
Attorney Jerome bore fruit to-day in the passage
by that body of his bill to enable creditors TO in
spcct the books of debtors and making a refusal
produce books presumptiye evidence Of guilt. The
Senators came over to his view Of the case in a
body and Senator Grady, who attacked the measure
successfully three weeks admitted that it was
q good measure. and that he found the amendment
upon which he insisted in it already
The bill provides that where person who obtains
credit upon the representation that he conducts a
good business must. upon failure pay his debts,
produce his books, and that any failure to do 50
shall be considered conclusive evidence Of fraud
Senator Grady wanted amendment providing
that copies of the bill must be attached to all such
agreements to make them effective.
The bill met opposition from the time it vas in
PRODUCED by Senator SAKE, and Mr. Jerome has
made no less than three trips TO Albany for the
purpose Of helping the measure along he has
declared all along that the enemies Of the measure
were only helping crooks 10 escape payment of
their Just debts, and that the abuses the oill Is
aimed at had grown to be a system in New-York
City.
At the bottom of the opposition to this bill has
been the antpathy of Senator Bracket, a survival
of the Garfield incident of last session
