Our First Number
FOR FALL.

You will see many adver-
tisemcnts about large stocks
of Fall and Winter Goods,
and each one will claim to
be ahead Of their competitors
but we will be content to
let the readers OF the RE-
PUBLICAN know we have a
Larger Stock than usual, be-
cause our trade demands it,
and this is an evidence that
our goods are sold at as low
prices as elsewhere, or a lit
tie lower for same quality.
Our Childrcn's Stock is
complete. We do not mean
by that to tell you we keep
the low price shoddy
goods, but we do have a
Good Quality at a very low
price, and yet we sell more
of our Suits from Five to Ten
Dollars.
In our Boys Department
we have some very stylish
garments to show you, while
the young men cannot help
being pleased by making a
selection from our nobby
Styles.
We have over 40 Styles
to show you in our Mems
Department, and now, kind
reader, just visit us at your
earliest convenience and let
us show YOU our goods, and
see if it will not be to our
mutual interests to deal with
each other.
This does not give you
much Of an idea Of our Stock,
but if you will stop in at 4th
and Market streets, at the
NI|nn|ngtonC|othingA House
it will give US great pleasure
to show you our goods and
prices. Yours,
inc. v. Oiefendorf& Co.

Dukes Dead.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, June 13.-James
Mutt, son of State Treasurer Capt. A. G.
Mutt, deceased, shot and killed N. l..
Dukes, his fathers murderer, this even,
ing at 7:30 o'clock. He shot four times
all the shots taking effect. Dukes dice
instantly. Dukes had been frequently
informed of his danger in remaining in
Uniontown, and he lately said he would
either stay there or in the cemetery. II
is SAID that he had expressed fear of the
son of Capt. Mutt, and was never on
the street after night. To-day James
Mutt was seen practicing with revol-
yer at his home, and this evening about
7:30 O'Clock he was standing near the
| post-office, when Dukes came along.
As Dukes was passing he turned his
head and noticed young Mutt, just as
he stepped from the doorway, and fired
shot, taking effect in Dukes side.
Dukes started to run, when Mutt fol
lowed and shot again. BY this time
Dukes was on the post-office steps when
he received another shot and fell inside
the door. Mutt followed and fired two
more shots into Dukes PROSTATE body,
one taking effect in the NECK. Dukes
was dead before any one could get tc
him. The revolver that did the work
is the same that Capt. Mutt carried or
the morning of his death. Young
Mutt gave himself up and is now il
Jail. He was calm, but pale as sheet
Five shots were fired, four taking
effect.

Better Go Slow.

The unlimited supply of gall pos
sesed by Mr.. Dorsey would make the
check of a Chicago drummer pale with
modification. Hardly had the white
wash, neatly applied by the star route
jury to his badly patched and spotted
character, had time to dry, before
Dorsey is out with a howl of persecu-
ton and an intimation that he will make
things lurid in the neighborhood of
those papers which have seen fit to de-
nounce his crimes as they deserve. The
great manipulation of star routes will
do well to go a little slow before engag-
ing in any attempts to fill the air with
fine pieces of the scalps of the journals
in question, or their embodiment in the
shape of managers, stockholders, etc:
Mr.. Dorsey's lime Stacked covering
is not so dense as to deceive even the
superficial observers. The eloquence
of well paid counsel may have succeed
ed in convincing twelve men, whose
brains were muddled with the growths
Of six months trial, but they have no
effect on the people outside the range of
the eloquent Colonel's voice. The YER
dict of not guilty finds no echo in the
public mind. Wherefore judicious use
of the mantle of obscurity is the thing
most needed by the gentleman right
now
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1883-06-21
ReYiying a Dead Sander,

There is an evident intention on the
part of a certain element to keen
alive the bitter feuds which mark
ed the early days of President Gar
fields administration, by means of i'm
probable and unjust stories, rejecting
on the probity and honor IF the deceas-
ed chieftain. Among the most out
rageous of these stories is that assert
ing the existence of corrupt bargain
between President Garfield and Jay
Gould, in which the former promised
to appoint Stanley Matthews to the
supreme bench in consideration of the
subscription by the latter of one hun
dred thousand dollars to the campaign
fund. Time and again the denial has
followed swiftly upon the insinuation,
and the unjust and despbable SANDER
is squelched for the time being only to
break out again in another place.
1t is quite safe to assert that there
never was, is not, nor never will be
found, one grain of testimony proving
any corrupt bargain of this kind, not
outstanding the activity of its propo-
gators. Once more the Story has come
to the front, this time With the allega-
ton that Professor Hilsdale has doc
umentary evidence to show that such a
bargain was made. 1t is immaterial
who is the instigator of the revival,
whether Dorsey ct al in an effort to
brighten the government from the star
route prosecutions, or that shriveled up
and gone to seed leader who, ground
down by the weight of his bronze
medal, imagined the world had been
