A BRIEF WORD AS TO
PRICES!

Persons who desire to buy such things
as Diamonds, Jewclry, Silver Ware,
Watches, POrcelains, &C., are often him
dered by tho fear that tho prices may be
exorbitant.
As to our prices, We remark -.
I. We make very largo purchases and very
large sales. Our transactions are all for
cash. Therefore, our prices are low.
2. We are satisfied with small profits. Tho
extent of our business warrants this, and
it is greatly to the advantage OF buyers.
). We sell only fine qualities of goods in all
our departments. But these will fire.
quently be found lower in price than
common goods arc sold elsewhere.
4. We invite careful comparison and close
examination as to quality AMI price.
). The fixed price is marked in plain figures
ON every article we sell.
6. Strangers coming to the city are invited to
visit us and see for themselves. Those
who cannot come are invited to write for
such goods as they may wish to examine
with q view to purchase. These will be-
sent at our expense anG brought back Mt
our expense il not approved.

The Comet.

The comet now visible is pronounced
by astronomers to be one Of the most
brilliant on record. lis velocity as re-
ported by NJ. MIcHAELsoN, with sunlight,
is 1856, 500 miles = second. CoRNU found,
with petroleum lamp. a rate of 1876, 700
miles. FORBES, with electric light, lS7,-
200 miles. The closeness OF the figures
OF the three observers bears interesting
testimony to the delicacy Ut modern
scientific apparatus and the skill Of those
employing it.
Prof. SKINNER describes its luminous
body as taking something OF the shape
Of parabola, the nucleus not at the ex-
treme end but perhaps a degree back
from the end, the brilliance greatest be-
hind the nucleus, while the tail is so
transparent that stars can be seen through
it, and ii is rapidly moving toward the
north pole Of the heavens. Prof. Boss,
OF Albany, New York, conjectures that
it is not, the comet of 1872, and Is NOV
ing nearly in the track Of the great COM
ct OF 1907, though its identity with that
body is still In doubt. There are also
conflicting opinions as to the identity
Nth the anmet rennrtn3 by DR. CaSIn
on the lst ult., Dr.. DRArEa suggesting a
difficulty 10 this assumption. II no,
GouLD's comet then it may be approach

A Former Cadizian Falls Heir to
$2,5OO,OOO

Many OF our readers, no doubt, re-
member an old Scotchman, named I've
son, who kept small tailoring and dye
ing establishment here about twelve
years ago, in the old McNutt building,
which stood where the U. P. Church
now stands. He and his family lived
here for years in the most humble Cir
cumstances, and no one ever suspected
them of being OF aristocratic origin, yet
such is the fact, and they have recently
fallen heir to one OF the largest Scottish
estates, Gittanorkin Hall, which is worth
%. 500, 600. Mr.. Iveson, however, will
not get to enjoy the fruits Of his good
as the excitement and fatigue OF
wrestling the fortune from scheming i'm.
posters was so great that he suddenly
died on the 7th ult., leaving the estate
to his son William, a lad of fifteen, who
will share it with his sister Ida, who was
well known here, and who has been
teaching school in Wheeling for some
time past. Thus again has truth proved
itself stranger than fiction, sudden
step from poverty to affiaence, from the
sehool-room to the palace, with all the
Injuries of life, and surrounded by o Cit

Emigration.

II is rumored that the Prussian gov
eminent contemplates the idea OF pre-.
venting emigration to America by force
What causes emigration; by thousands
every month creates uneasiaess, AMI an
inquiry has been instituted by the Ger
man government to ascertain, it posi-
BILE, the bottom facts. Tue N. Y. Her.
aid, 9th ult, says:
with large body Of Germans in
America, thrifty, sober and strongly at
tached to the Fatherland, there will al
ways be efforts on their part to bring
friends from home to join them. But
the deeper reason will be found in the
military and political system OF Ger
many. The trouble with the German
Empire is that although the statesmen
have realized their dream of unity the
burden is so great as 10 be intolerable.
The conscription law, which makes ev-
cry man amenable to the drill master,
must have the effect of driving hundreds
OF thousands out of the country. Wo.
men will feel that they bring forth men
children for better purpose than to be
food for powder. Emigration is a Sc
rious matter in Germany especially, be-
cause the French people stay at home
and il the process Of dismanning :he
German Empire goes on from year te
year as it does now France will sooI
outnumber her opponent in tue mattel
Of rsusket carrying people alone. w,
shall look with interest upon this inquiry
OF the German government. At the
same time we extend our warmest vel
&C me to oil friends from the other side
who come whh benests hearts and good
stout arms, reminding them, in the words
OF the old ballad. that Uncle Sam is rlcl
enough to give them aka farm.'"

tomac depot in Washington City, by a
man named CHARLES A. GErro, a lawyer
from Chicago
The at, b,ve quotation was the first ex

The teachings OF the Radical element
Of the Republican party have leu to
bribery and corruption, and finally to
the murder Of President.
GARrrELD's death will elevate CHESTER
A. ARTHUR, Vice President, to the Presi'
dency.
The death of President GARFIELD, by
the hand Of an assassin, will be deeply
regretted by men OF oil shades OF pollt
ical opinions, except 1t be that element
in the Republican party that has beer
bounding his Administrations.
But the elevation of ARrHUR to the
Presidency, a man who was removed
from the New York Custom House be-
cause of corrupt practices, cannot helr
being regarded as a calamity, and di
rect blow to the honest direction OF th'
affairs of the Government.

moment the President fell q policeman
who had been standing at the depot
door keeping the way clear for the Presi.
dent and his party, grabbed the assassin
by the neck and as he pulled him out oil
the depot another policeman came to
his assistance. Just after firing the sh ot
the assassin exclaimed:
