The Knoxville (Iowa) Democrat says
that few days since, whilst Mr.. John
Brannan was hunting game near Ben.
ningtoD, in Marion county, he cameupon
q fine specimen of eur national bird
and after shooting it twice, and having
a regular stand-up fight, succeeded in
killing it with the butt of his gun. 1t
was Of the American gray eagle species
and measured seven feet four inches
from tip to tip. 1t had fastened to one
of the claws steel trap, to which was
attached chain too, only the sinewl
remaining, and healed entirely up,show'
ing that it had carried the trap some
time. The eagle had been seen by others
several times before in the vicinity
whore it was killed, bat had always
avoided being shot.

A H1irnclein India.

A Mogul gentleman of Bombay, nared
Hajee Lanai Obadeen, gravely writes
to the Bombay Gazette that an irreverent
Turkish soldier appeared at the holy
shrine of Kerbila, and, not needing the
remonstrances of the doorkeeper, went
In with his sword and shoes on, when q
mysterious hand extended itself from
the grave and slapped the offender so
severely on the face that he was instant
ly deprived of speech and although at
tensed by the Kerbila doctors, breathed
his last on the evening of the same day
In honor of this mircle the Turkish
Governor of kerbila ordered guns to be
fired, and the whole town was illumin-
sted. The MogulS of Bombay also
placed extra lamps in their Museed and
the leading members of the community
intended when the latest accounts were
received to celebrate a Jussun for ten
consecutive days.

WE INVITE THE ATTENTION
w of Merchants to our very large assert
ment of BOOTS AND SHOES, now in store for
Fall and Winter Trade.
With an experience Of many years, Tour
bonss having been established in 1881 we can,
with truth, assert that our stock for extent
variety durability, freedom from all irregular
itv. and adaptation TO the wants of West Vir-
ginia and Ohio, is not aud cannot be surpassed.
ALL OUR WORK
Ia made and selected mainly with view 10 SIR
VICE and REAL VALUE, securing for them all the
style we can without a sacrifice OF quality.
NEWS THICK & KIP BOOTS.
Espeoial attention ia called TO eur own make
of Mems Thick and KIP BooTs. They are made
out Of the very best Kip upper and sole leather
they are solid double sole; have our trade marx
stamped on the bottom, and can be confidently
relied upon TO give excellent service and salts
faction TO the consumer.

very best material and in the most workman
like manntr.

DREN's BALMORALs.
In the department of women's, Misses and
Childrens goods we defy competition. More
over we can give 20 our customers, out OF our
best work any size they may want thus
enabling them to ft mp and work of clean their
broken stock This is an inducement oteref
by very few dealers and IL will be apprecia~d
as a very great advantage by those experienced
in retailing Boots and Shoes.
WANT OF UNIFORMITY AND
HOW WE PREVENT HI.
The want of uniformity in Boots and Shoes, II
is we'll known, equals if not exceeds that OF any
other kind Of manufactured goods. In order TO
protect ourselves and customers, We make IL
rule not 10 receive or place on sale any goods
not regular and uniform, except they DO too
low In price TO allow of uniformity. To insure
this every pair Of Boots and Shoes that enters
our store is carefully examined and rejected un
less found correct in size tree from damage and
uniform in quality.
GOODS EQUAL TO SAMPLES.
Buyers cannot generally devote the time
necessary to examine beyond the samples
shown. By our system of examination and re-
lection, buyers are protected from receiving
goods inferior 10 samples. Aside from the
recognized duty Of dealing ne we would be dealt
BY we regard il as pecuniarly our interest so
to act as to secure and retain the confidence OF
all who may favor us with their trade.
LOWEST MARKET PRICES.
As all good merchants will seek and find the
Cheapest Houses TO trade with, we shall sell our
goods at the very lowest market rates.
