Cheap Dry Goods.

En.narqoll & Co. Of ST Paul, one OF the old
c.t and wealthiest firms in the State, still
continue to do an immense business III dry
.goodq Their policy is to buy tor CAST III
Eev York. Boston Philadelphia and the other
eregE markets of the east, taking advantage OF
fbc depressed condition Of the market, and
xeI far cash to their customers in Minnesota
IN tia way they are able to place dry goods
within reach of the people OF this State at q
very small percentage higher price than sim
lar goods could be bought for IN the east.
And thew supplement this great advantage
h, an "order business" which brings the
cheap goods within the reach OF the farmers
II the State, and of those living upon the
remote frontier. This system IS as follows
The person desiring 10 purchase SENDS a
postal card, addressed to I'D. W lngerSoll q
Ia. St Paul, ;" containing 3 request to send
,ben SAMPLES of the kind Of goods therein
referred 10 Messrs ID. w. mgersoll Go. by
retnro mail send HIM q small package OF
SAMPLES, each marked with its price The
nnrchaser then compares the fabric and the
oricc with the goods in his local storest and II
he finds, rs we think he will, that the goods
efferedby Messrs. mcersoll \ Co. are much
better and cheaper, he cncloses the sample
which he selects, with money postal ordel
or certified check, Tor money package sent
hy express or in o registered letter. Tor th'
amount of his proposed purchase. II he doe
NOT receive goods to correspond with the sam
nle sent. Messrs Inccrsol 4 Co Will tax
them back and correc. the error or return tn
money. :,
Wewould suggest to our readers TO try tn
experiment Take d postal card and SEM
tor samples and then Judge Tor J ourseive
whether it viii pay you to make an order.

The bridge disaster at Omaha could not
but make : great inconvenience 20
and travel, but the prompt action of rail
road officials has devised plans by which
the great commercial artery to the Pacific
can be abundantly fed. The Omaha Bee
freight for the Chicago, Burlir gton 4 Quincy,
announces on the 27th,hat" all passenger and
Chicago & Rock Island, and Kansas City,
St. Joe & c. B. railway are to be transferred
at Plattsmouth, which point is reached by
the B. NJ. from Omaha. This will make
lively business on this line, and will keep
the rails red hot for a while. ALI freight
aud passengers for Omaha and the west
over these line., will, of course, come to
Omaha by this same route.
1t is said that four hundred cars can he
transferred each way, making four hundred
at Plattsmouth per day, which is equal to the
demand for transportation, and equal to the
number Of cars generally transferred on the
Union Pacific bridge.
The Chicago & Northwestern business will
be done via the Blair ferry and the Omaha
& Northwestern railroad.

the CHICAGO FAILURE.

? Chicago. August 2S.--The State Savings
institution made an assignment this morn
Ing 10 Abner Taylor. This bank has been
established some twenty years, and from
the prestige Of its early reputation has Sc
cured the patronage of a great majority OF
the poorer classes who deposit in savings
institutions here. The MAXIMUM estimate
Of depositors is $4,000, and the minimum
$l2 The failure will fall With crushing
weight on these people. many Of whom
have invested their all with that bank. The
state has for many months been in a some
what precarious% condition, and the run IL oon
it male in August has accelerated the fail.
urc, The officers give this brief statement
of the sita,-s Of the Institution: Savings
deposits, $29.3l7 Sc; certificates Of deposit.

The secretary will continue the placing in

was but n trifle more, ~ the officers would
otherwise be idle. and il afforded an oppor.
t1,nity to display our flag more frequently 10

all such vessels that they make their stay in
foreign p,rts Of lcss duration, % that a Tar

secretary is also preparing an order for the
assignment Of the iron-clads several will
be sent to some southern ports to winter, in
fresh water. Those Of the feet at League
island will remain there, and several other
iron clads MAJ be added to the number. In
speaking Of League island, the secretary
observed that it possessed all the physical
advantages Of location and freah water
suitable to 3 naval station, second to none in
the world.
Without censuring the policy Of his pre-.
decessor 10 the distribution Of the fund ol
$1,OO0.OOO, accruing from the sale Of the
Philadelphia navy yard. he said that that
amount, under the law. was justly due to
the Improvement of the League island yard
and that he would urge congress IA make
good that amount to League island, 40 thar
it might be applied to its Improvement Al
contemplated by the statute. The secretary
is evidently determined to iuausu.a,e /

SIOUX cas journal,
FOR s.versl days the graders on the Col
nmous branch OF the Covington, Columbus 4
Black Hills railroad have been striving to
get their pay from the contractors who hired
them. They have been gathered in Coving-
ton and IN this city, and many of them have
peen reduced TO the last extremity in pro,
vlolng sustehance Tor themselves and teams
They nave been promised payment from

eu, Inc men were assured, however,
ny the general manager OF the company
himself mat tley should have their money
i sa =. all events, and they finally
asperSed without any untoward demonstra
The conduct Of the men during all this
waiting ana disappointment has been most
commendable indeed. While they express
the utmost necessity for the money they
have earned, and feel hat some of those
through whom they are to get it have not
done all they should in procuring it for
them they DO not go 70 these le1gths that
men sometimes heatedly adopt in circnm-
stances like theirs: There have been threats
that this step OF that would be the next in
certain contingencies, but most Of this talk
has been lone by men who have not a cent
at issue, and who strive to fire the crowd for
purposes other than the best interests Of
those concerned. There has so far been no
drunkenness except on the part OF Ferguson,
one Of the scbc contractors, and nothing ap-
preaching violence other than an encounter
between him n ONeil, one Of the princi
pal contractors, in which while Ferguson
was striving to choke ONeil, on account Of q
refusal Of the later to sign a paper asked by
the other, n attempted to draw a re-
yoiver, but wa restrained. Ferguson was
then induced to leave for the sake OF peace.
