John Hippie Mitchell, Senator in Congress from the State of Otegon, died at hia home in Portland, that state, on Friday last. December 8, 1905. in the 71st year of his age. The fact that Senator Mitchell was a former citizen of Bntler makes every thing concerning him of interest to our people. It was from this place he went west. He was born in Washington county, this state, in Jane 1835, but came to Butler county with his parents when quite young, about 1836-7. His father, John Hippie, purchased a farm between Mount Chestnut and Prospect, this county, and lived on same until his death some years ago Here his son John M. Hippie was raised, and lived until he came to Bntler. about 1856. He entered the law office of Samuel A. Purviance and John M. Thompson us a student, and was ad mitted to the Butler Bar on March 23d, 1858. Mr. Pnrviance being elected to Congress, and Mr. Thompson soon lifter, to the Legislature, left young Hippie alone in charge of their office, an opportunity which he improved with ability. He was regarded as a young lawyer of talent and eloquence and was favorablv known. But in 1860 he left here for "the west, settling in Portland, Oregon, as his new home. He left a wife from whom he was afterwards divorced. At Portland he rapidly rose in his profession being soon chosen city solicitor of that place, and then a State ( Senator, and then a United States Senator by the legislature of Oregon. All this took place within ten years after his landing in Oregon. In the meantime he thought it proper to change his name from that ot John M. Hippie, ns he was known here, to that of John Hippie Mitchell, the Mitchell, his middle name, being that of his mother before marriage The Oregon Legislature we are told subsequently continued this change of name. He married again in Oregon and his present wife and two daughters made a journey to Europe some time ago and are at present in Paris, France. Mr. Mitchell's first election to the United States Senate was as we have stated about the year 1870. He was subsequently re-elected to the same high post at least twice, and again in lUUI. and was filling that office at the time of his death. During his service in the Senate no Butler man who visited Washington would fail to meet a warm greeting from Senator Mitchell. For his old friends who knew him here as John M. Hippie, he had a particular re gard and would serve them in any way he could. That he was a generous, warm hearted man was known, and while we do not desire or intend to ex cuse his faults or in any way to palliate his offenses, either public or private, yet there were none of his old acquaint ances hero but regretted to learn of his dea»h and felt sad at the unfortunate circumstances under which it bad oc curred. There is a lesson in his life to be learned by all, but particularly by young men. He haa left, living in this and adjoining countieH. good and re spectable relatives and friends. J. 11.

St"! •« Elgin Movement No. 019 9 EXPLANATION Modern business methods made it necessary for these manufacturers to dispose of their samples when their travelers 5 finished taking the season's orders. To do so at one time meant a i>ig reduction from the regular prices—a direct loss. However, the up-to- M date manufacturer must encounter these losses, it's considered good business judgment. The big saving we have made Ls now at your mercy, g These goods are not odds and ends, but fresh and late samples.
