Central Illinois is having a water
famine. The wells and cisterns have
gone dry, and the smaller streams are
frozen solid. Cattle have literally
starved to death; and fears are enter
tanned that, unless an early thaw and
rains come to alleviate the condition
Of things, suffering will ensue among
human beings. In Springfield the
supply of water is limited, and while
the Sangaman river has not failed, it
is foul aud smells so badly as to be un-
fit for family use. In contrast to this
condition in Illinois. the telegraph in
forms us that the Pacific coast is being
deluged with rain-storms, the like of
which hath not been seen by the old
est inhabitant. There appears to be
enough for all, but it is not equally dis
tributed.

The Great
Bargain Room
at OAK HALL.

There never was any
where before, so far as we
know, such a sale of clothing
as is now going on at OAK
HALL, taking up the whole
ground floor. A hundred
thousand dollars worth of
good clothing, nearly all of
it new and fashionable, all Of
it we'll made and of good
materials without exception
flor we make no other) is
being sold at prices which
bring loss instead of gain.
Clearing sales occur at the
close of every season; but
they commonly are sales Of
broken assortments and odd
garments, and of small guam
titles.
Here toward the end Of
our most successful season
we are clearing out what
ever, for any cause, has
shown signs of being slow.
Thousands of whole suits
and overcoats and odd gar
ments as well. .... 90.
Now the sole reason for
selling this mass of valuable
clothing, without even an at
tempt at profit, is that stated
above, which may be put into
different words, thus: To get
our stock into the most at
tractive condition, without
regard to immediate profit.
And so, while this sale is
going on, the choicest, most
approved, most successful,
clothing we have is up stairs.
The prices there are not re-
duced at all. This sale will
hurt that while it lasts, be-
cause the clothing in the
bargain room is extremely
good. For this reason we
want it short; and to make
it short, the prices are low.
Bring back promptly aohat
yoW aoN't aOanst at tie price.
You can order by letter,
or buy here, according to-
your own convenience. On
receipt of a letter from you,
will send the means of TAX
ing your own measure. Then
you can tell us what you
want near enough SO that
we can take the risk of suit
ing you.
