Life Insurance for Royalty.

The King of Italy, having paid half
his fathers debts so far and impoverished
himself in the process, wishes to make
some provision for his family in case OF lis
death, but cannot induce the leading
Italian insurance companies TIC allow him
to insure his life with them for

do not allow them to grant policies To
crowned heads, but 1 suspect 1t is tue
magnitude of the sum that frightens

refused, he cannot do better than to turn

CUSTOM CLOTHING.

You often hear people
complain that tailors as a
rule always know better
what the customer wants
than he does himself, or at
least give him that impress
sion,and no matter what his
suggestion or desire may be,
he must give way for the
time being-we hear this
almost every day, and for
just such reasons, although
we give customers our ad-
vice in regard to clothing,
yet we are always anxious,
and strive to make their
clothing just exactly as they
wish it. Our cutters and
workmen are, as usual, very
busy, land we have discovered
that by keeping only first
class assistants in this de-
partment that our trade has
wonderfully increased.
AS is well known, our
stock of piece goods is so
large and varied, eompris-
ing the leading styles Of all
the best manufactures, that
we can certainly please you
in material, and, as we guar
antee the fit and workman
snip, you run no risk in
ordering of us.

DOUBLE MURDER.
A Shocking Signt for the Victims
Son.


HICKMAN, KY, Nov, 24.-Mr, K ng and
wife, who we're ipuod murdered yester-
day morning, lived alone on their farm.
No one had seen them alive since Tues
day OF last week Arthur King, when he
discovered the bodies of his parents,
found evidence Of severe struggle. The
furniture was strewn about, a gun with q
broken brsech was on the floor, Mrs.
Kings throat WAS cut, and there were
evidences that she he'd received three
heavy blows on the head. Mr.. Kings
head was crushed by blow. The trunk
in which Mr.. King kept his money had
been chopped open with Ratchet. About
500 which he had secreted in smother
place was not found.
the only clew is that spare he'd had
bean used by one prisoner, AMI the fact
that the table had been laid for three
shows that owe visitor had eaten with the
aged compile. This points suspicion
towards clock mender who was recently
seen at the King home.

The PROBLEM

In regard to clothing is to
know where you will get a
suit or overcoat which will
best suit your purpose in
every way, and will give you
the satisfaction which all
clothing should when pro-
perly gotten up. Competi-
ton in the trade causes
some clothing to be i'm
proved in the making, in
order to furnish a really
tirst-class article, and then
again it causes a vast amount
to be gotten up in a manner
just as cheaply as possible
without regard to wear
or durability, or, in
other words, for the mere
purpose OF a low priced gar
ment. Now, while we con-
stantly aim to sell everything
at the lowest prices possible,
we do not propose for the
sake of doing this, to offer
you clothing inferior in any
way. Our experience in the
business, added to the fact
that we are CASH BUYERS
EXCLUSIVELY, enables US to
obtain every advantage in
buying.
