Using columns today Of "a Dead
Clothing Man Found In Virginia :"
The peculiar style Of the horrible an
nouncement possesses an excitingly
deep significance. Docs 1t really mean
that the corpse Of some leading cloth
Ter has been picked up on the street or
found In his bed? Isl IL q dark kuklux
threat that some one or more Of the
head clothing men are to be ruthlessly
rs sassinatedp Who will explain the
terrible mystery. We think We can.
IL does not mean . corpse at all, but
| simply intends to say that . man who
sells dead clothing or shoddy, has been
discovered In that absolute city. No
such man can flourish there or any
where else. He could not succeed any
more than n dead man.. Only good,
live clothing. well made, stylish, cheap
and OF the best materials. Is wanted la
this section. Just such as Is kept by
House clothing store on e street. They
sell no shoddy, no shop worn, dead
clothing. They are live. wide awake
business men, and have an Immense
run OF custom. The only dead thlng
you will ind In their establishment IL
a dead thing on finding just what you
want In the way Of clothing, and NJ
less price than you think you ought to
give. Try them aud see.

newly elected Principal Of the High
School In Virginia City, has adopted q
novel plan for preserving order In his
department. which Is as follows: He
assigns u boy to n Of the front cor
ner seats. which are single. and places
directly In rear OF him a girl, then q
boy, and so on alternately. A boy
hss no opportunity to communicate
with other boys inssmuch rs he Is
isnked on all sides by girls. A girl
has no opportunity to whisper. for the
reason that she Is surrounded BY manly
protectors. The system appears TO
work very we'll for the reason that the
youth of both sexes OF necessity ac-
auir. the habit Of attending strictly to
their own duties, a valuable accom-
pllshment In later life.
