Shopping by Mail.

1t is important to purchasers to
know when to purchase to advantage.
1t IS easy enough to 60 to the city,
look the market over and make selcc-
tons, but to get goods when they are
wanted without mourning the expense
of a trip to the city is often very i'm
portant. There is general disposition
to do without the goods wanted until
other business perhaps makes a trip
necessary, or to await the coming Of
some travelling agent to make the pur-
chase, either of which courses has seri-
Gus objections. Goods cost more when
they have to be bought from agents.
and the additional cost can be avoided
by ordering direct from our firm only
in their line of goods. The firm Of A.
X. Pruden & Co., of St. Paul, whose
aim is to make such inducements in
prices as will justify parties at dis.
lance in sending direct to them for their
goods, is first to make a discount for
orders, and their goods being stoves,
stove pipe. tinware and house furnish
ing goods, their inducements are of par
ticular interest at this time of year.
Our advice is-do your shopping by
mail with this firm, and get the best
prices in the trade.

out clear and wild, again exciting the

DR.. Waite, the physician in attendance,
had to use force to get both of them out
of the room.

been done for the wounded man to rem.

and some hopes were entertained that
he might ultimately recover, and thus
matters remained until this morning.
This morning large and excited
crowd collected around the county Jail
where the perpetrator of the foul deed
had been confined during the night
the authorities being afraid to retain
him in the city prison. An equally
large crowd assembled around the City
Hall. expecting that he would be brought
up on preliminary examination, but
the County Attorney, apprehensive Of
the excited condition of the public
mind, wisely concluded to postpone it.
Threats of lynching were freely used.
but it is to be hoped wiser counsels
will prevail.
At this time it was supposed, from
the erroneous reports in the
morning papers, tina there were some
hopes of the wounded mans recovery
But there had from the beginning been
very little foundation for those reports

should restrain the arm of justice from
