Melvfn. silcott & %.


about two years ago the firm of Melvin,
Silcott 6 Co. was organized and COM
menced the business of general dry goods
merchants. All three of the men COM
posing the firm are practical, close busi-
ness men, having been brought up in the
business from their boyhood. When they
started their present business it was
upon a solid foundation; their large and
varied stock being all paid for, they de-
termined to take advantage of all the dis
counts which men who pay cash are en-
titled to, and to let the advantage thus
gained innure to their customers; to this
principle they have strictly adhered, and
in so doing have merited and received a
very large share of the public patronage.
Mr.. Melvin, the head of the firm, has the
reputation of being one of the best finan-
ciers in the country, always keeping his
business well in hand and under his own
supervision. Mr.. Sileott, as a close, dis
eliminating buyer and judge of textile
fabrics, has few superiors in his line, and
Mr.. Mihikan, the junior partner, as their
book keeper, is always on hand, affable
and social, ready to do his part of the
work all being anxious and willing to
accommodate their customers in any way
they can. They are not merely affable and
friendly because you are their customer,
but you always find them the same. They
have thus worked up a large business.
They have heretofore done very limited
amount of erediting, and for the year to
come they propose to do strictly cash
y, ,,oI,o
in the end rebound to the benefit of both
the seller and consumer. They say that
the close profits at which goods are now
sold will admit of no other course in bust
', ness. They propose to go into the. New
York market this season with the cash il
a hand, determined to buy goods at bottom
prices and make such selections as will at
tract the trade from distant parts of thi
k and the adjoining counties. Indeed thu
y stock of goods they now displa!
y is sufficient to induce close buyers t.
It come from distance to make their pur
Il chases. In passing through their carpe
g department we notice the most magnif
ot cent stock of ingram and brussels of tn
n latest and most beautiful patterns. A pei
y son can get carpet from their stock q
IF any price from 15c. to 50 90 per yard. W
E. speak of their carpet department but &
le one attraction to their general stool
m which is always to be found full and con
tie plete. This firm should be commende
IL by all our community for the energy an
enterprise they have exhibited in the
or business; they offer such business a
he traction as all should be proud of and tai
of pleasure IN commencing. 10 those pc
x sons who wish to purchase good class
,t- goods at lower prices than ever know
oe before, we can but say the firm of Me
n vim, Silcott & Co. is the place for you
,se go. Their clerks are always ready al
"a anxious to wait on you promptly wi
- pleasure.

GENERAL MERRITT REFUSED.

Saturday General Sherman stated in
New York City that General Merritt,
who, is in command of the expedition
against the Utes, had sufficient .men in
his command to bring the Utes into
subsection. Yesterday a courier ar
rived at Rawlins, on the Union Pacific
Railroad, with important dispatches
from Merritt, who had been repulsed
by the Utes. An attempt was made
by the troops to dislodge the Indians,
who were posted on commanding bluffs.
Pheir position proved too strong for the
troops engaged, and the whole available
force was brought to the front, when
the Indians withdrew to line of natur-
al Notifications, some three miles from
the scene of the action. A reconnoiter-
ing party discovered that there were
about FIVE hundred Indians intrenched
IN the Notifications, as they exchanged
shot for shot with the troops, and will
probably hold the ridges on which they
are intrenched until howitzers are
brought to bear on them.
The fact that Merritts whole COM
mand has been repulsed shows that
Sherman's opinion on the Ute war is
not worth any more than that Of the
most ignorant frontiersman in Colorado.
The daughter of Agent Meeker. who
was killed at the reservation, complains
that. her father informed the military
authorities early in September of the
danger of an outbreak and asked that
troops be sent to the reservation imme-
diateiy. Sherman was detailed at that
time to accompany Hayes on tour
ttirough.the country, and paid no at
tention to the request of the Agent
until it was too late to render him as
sistance.
