A or1oN GOODS
FOR CASH!
Revolution in Prices .
BUY RIGHT AND MONEY is ALREADY
SAVED

We buy our. Goods at Auction Houses, and
who has ever attended these auctions will notice
how prices huctuate, and will mark the steady
downward tendency. sale after sale and day at
ter day, straight through the season, affording
to real judges of good capital chances 10 under
quote the regular market by at least 20 to 35 per
cent, and to sell to the public and to men to
retail at less thsn the case price at the mill.
An importer, hard up, will offer goods at cost
to raise money, but when note is due to-mor-
row and money must be had, he tumbles his
goods into the aaetions rooms where cost or no
cost, they must go. We buy them at nearly our
own price.
Money is tip-top thing, but brains is the
master. We buy our goods CHEAP aad our pro-
double advantage of selling at prices that must
crush the opposition, who will at once start the
cry that our goods are stolen, or that we are
about to fail, getting up a reputation for us,
without the expense of advertis ng-so by ju-
dicious management We may easily turn the
enemy's guns upon his retreat ting line or put
him in harness upon double duty.
To-day wooden mill stops, tomorrow their
goods will be displayed in the auction room and
sold for half its value. Next day Hosiery
house fails, their stock goes to the same place
and sold at an immense sacrifice. So, day after
day, through dozen auction houses, these
bursted merchants and these moonshine million
aires go crushing through at prices that would
bewilder both buyer and seller, only to prove
that, in this advanced age of stubborn and I'M
yielding fighting, it is your duty to make every
edge cut, and to take advantage of every chance
these giant engines afford.
We do not pretend, nor do we wish to lead
the public to believe, that we keep, full or reg
ular assortmentof Goods. Webuy everything at
auction, if we can get it below its value, without
regard to getting up an assortment-but what
we have got will be sold at astonishingly low
prices.
Our present stock consists principally of Gem
tlemens' Undergarments, Clothing, Cassi m eres,
Cloths, Cassinets, Hats and Caps, Notions, and
all kinds of Boots and Shoes, Ladies' Shawls,
a large assortment of Furs, principally Misses
nd Children.
Our auction sales will continue as heretofore,
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, to commence
at O'Clock in the evening. except at the month
ly courts, when we will have our auction sales
in the day time, and commence at 10 o'clock in
the morning.

To BREAK GLASS AT WILLIAM easy
method of breaking glass to any required

Of a file, on the edge of piece of glass;
then make the end Of a tobacco pipe, OF

and draw it slowly along the surface of the
glass, in any direction you please; a crack
will be made III the glass and will follow
the direction Of the iron. Round glass
bottles and TASKS may be cut in the mid
die by wrapping round them q worsted
thread dipped in spirits of turpentine, and
setting it on fire when fastened to the

blight in grain is occasioned by the growth
of minute parasitic fungus on the leaves
stems and glumes of the living plant. Fe-
lice Fontana published in the year 1867 an
elaborate account of this destructive pest,
so injurious to grain, and since that time
modern botanists have given figures both
of grain and grass affected by it, using
high magnifying powers in their re-
searches, which have been of so much be-
neflt to the farmer and the world at large.

THE Democratic organs and orators
have had a great deal to say about 'sGov
Taylor saving the state $500 day
The statement is an absurdity onits face
to every one who understands the mach
inery of the state government. No gov
ernor could save or waste, were he so
disposed, a tenth part of that sum day
because the expenditures are, except in
few matters of comparatively minor
importance. fixed by law, and governor
is as much controlled thereby as a private
citizen. The Legislature determines the
expenses so far as the bulk of them is
concerned. 4 state administration can
control, to certain extent, office e1pen-
ditures-can make them larger or small
er, beyond this neither the governor nor
his subordinates can go without fraud.

THE DANGER OF Oven CONFIDENCE

IHE DANGER or OVER CONFIDENCE. -
We fear the friends of Harrison Lud-
lngton are becoming too sanguine of his
election over Gov. Taylor by a decisive
majority. They perceive. that public
sentiment Is running strongly against
Gov. Taylor, and therefore that current
IS sure to drown him. But a great vic
tory is not easily won. His followers
are working with the utmost desperation
to stem the tide. The furious efforts of
the News and the Madison Democrat to
lie and eliminate everyone who has any,
thing to say against Gov. Taylor, proves
that the leaders will stick at nothing to
carry their point.
SO, let it be understood, that without
steady and persistent work Gov. Taylor
! cannot be defeated. The Reform lead
ers relize that defeat in the present
election is utter death to their organiza
ton in this State, and that if they dent
succeed now, they must disband after
the November election The Presiden-
tlal vote of Wisconsin in rs is also at
stake, and the State to the Republican
candidate in '76. With such important
results in view, over confidence may be-
come 81 serious blunder, and thousands
will lament, if they fail, that the requir-
ed effort had not been given to carry the
State. Politics is very much like b1ifssi-
ness the parties most interested must
watch and guard against all contingent
cieg, or they will lose both their credit
and their customers HIS
eONSin:

ABANDONING TAYLoR.-No one should
forget that the party which Gov. Taylor
heads in this State has SO blatantly assu-
med to be reform party that the people
al least demand some approach to it.
Personal purity of candidates for ofic
was to be the sine quo non OF support.
Now the developments in Dane county
on the Cottage Grove bounty grab, and
particularly the attempted bribery Of
Brereton, prove beyond all question that
Taylor is not pure man to say the
least he is traitor in politics. That no
one can doubt, who reads the statements
of Brereton, Chandler and FAIR. There
is particularly III their evidence which
bears upon it the impress OF truth.

the convention, and We expect the peo-
pie to ratify it at the polls.
For Clerk OF the Circuit Court,
against Mr.. Fleming, Mr.. w. Shimonek,
business man of this city, is the nomi-
nee. Mr.. Shimonek is one of the most
popular of our Bohemian citizens, is well
qualified to discharge the duties of that
responsible position in a manner which
will commend itself to the public, and is
eminently worthy of the hearty support
of the voters of the county. He will be
a worthy successor to Mr.. Piening should
he be elected.
Taken altogether, the above ticket is an
excellent one, inasmuch as it is made up
of men who have the entire confidence
of all who know them, and if the people
do their duty, cannot fail to be elected.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

Among the leading Republican jour
mails of the United States, none takes
higher rank than The CHICAGO TRIBUNE.
The coming year will be one of deep
and absorbing political interest. For
the first tine since the days of Buchanan's
Presidency HE Democratic party has
secured control of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and will virtually be response
bile for the legislation of Congress. A

CHICAGO TRIBUNE indispensable for the

will be made il behalf of the young
