Cut this out, and so right over to Cal
Taylor's grocery house and ask him If the
TRANSCRIPT is correct in the assertion
that he has store full of the finest teas,
richest coffees, and sweetest sugars.
While you are there. look over his canned
goods, dried fruits, and green apples, and
say whether yon ever saw better or cheap
er. 'tCal" is sometimes cross to his clerks,
because they keep the store so full of peo-
pie, and sell the goods so fast that he can
scarcely keep up his stock; but he will be
kind to you and show you anything in the
house. He thinks that people ought to
have good wholesome food, and dishes,
plain or esthetic, to eat from; and he sup
plies these at prices which will rest on your
consciences in the last great day, if you
do not buy. Patronize "CaF and you
will get all you pay for.
Last week Tuesday special police
officer Y. T. Cameron arrested light
fingered fellow at the depot, suspected OF
picking travellers pocket of two railway
tickets. After brief search the thief
was released, and he boarded the train for
St. Paul. Mr.. Cameron's suspicion was
so strong, however, that he went into the
car, re-arrested his man, and took him to
the lookup. A careful search revealed
the missing tickets in the lining of the
prisoners hat, and also unearthed shirt
and two collars stolen from LEWIS cloth
ing store. The prisoner was arraigned
before Justice Griffith and given 80 days
for stealing the clothing. He gave his
name as Henry Collins. Surely, Austin
is poor place for gamblers and pick
pockets, and Officer Cameron is one of
the men who help to make it so. Y. T..
is certainly entitled to great credit for his
successful persistence in this case.
r. Dunklemann has just returned
with a mammoth assortment of clothing
and furnishing goods. He can supply his
customers with any style or quality desir
ed. He can fit any one, be he short or
tall, thick or thin, fat or lean, white or
black, rich or poor, good or bad. In his
clothing the crooked will look straight,
and the awkward will be gracefulness
materialized. His charming suits will
make the respondent beam with hope, the
unhappy smile with pleasure, and the con-
tented weep for joy. Dunklemann says
it is sin for mothers to drudge away
their lives in the making of boys clothes
when he can sell such beautiful and dura-
BILE boys suits so low. Do you want a
trunk of any size, from boarding house
to a band-box, or valise of any shape
or quality2 Dunklemann. has it. And
collars, cuffs, hats-well, all can't be men:
toned. Go and make your selections
from this new and splendid stock! -
Two weeks ago we spoke of an old
gentleman being victimized out of a
thousand dollars by the three-card monte
men with Batcheller & Doris circus.
Now, that large portion Of the money is
recovered, and the true facts in the case
are known, we propose to give them and
also the name we withheld. On the morn.
ing of circus day ]. B. Buck, an old
gentleman of rs years of age, came
down town, as he does every day, and was
approached by fine looking man claim
ing to be from Rochester. After some
conversation he was invited to walk up to
the circus ground and look at a fine horse
in one of the side shows. He went, and
was led into q tent where another pre-,
possessing looking fellow was throwing
the monte cards. Both began to talk
to Mr.. Buck about the game, and the pos.
sibilities of winning large stakes. After
much coaxing and talking, he was induc'
ed to try it, and allowed to win a small
sum. He was then told that he could
win a thousand dollars, but that he must
have as much Of his own with him. He
was urged to 60 to the bank and borrow
it, and he did, giving his note for ten
days. After dinner he returned to the
tent, risked the whole sum on one card,
and lost, of course. One of the gamblers
claimed to be the Judge of Probate from
Rochester, and promised Mr.. Buck to re-
turn the money which his companion had
just won and disappeared with. After
waiting in vain for several days Mr.. Buck
told his wife all about the transaction,
and secured the bank by giving mort

covery of the money is given in another

of his conduct. For two wears he has
