SANDS & BOYCE.
The Proverbial Modesty of lxewe-
paper Men-The Moral Of
This Tale.
The Magnitude of Our Last
Move.

Busy! busy! busy! Well we should
say so. It's continual rush from
early in the morning until late at
night. If we had the cut Of bee
hive we would display it at the head
of this article instead of the head
lines, as it would be much more ap-
prepriate to illustrate this thought
Even the newspaper reporters are on
tlp-toe, as every low and then we
have the pleasure of noticing their
anxious gaze as they peer in at the
crowd, but for some reason or other
they prefer to let US do our own ad-
vertising and pay for it. Newspaper
men are proverbially, modest, but
some actually have the assurance to
come in that they may be fully sat-
isfed that it's nothing more than a
crowd of customers. The moral of
this tale is that the bargains we are
offering are genuine and you realize
that they are better than are offered
elsewhere,
THE MAGNITUDE
OF our last move you will do well to
consider. This move places our en-
tire stock, without a single exception,
on the market at discount of not
less than
TEN PER CENT,
and it includes large invoices of fall
and winter goods that have arrived
and those to arrive until further no.
tice. No matter how staple the
goods you may buy, we will allow
you a discount of not less than ten
per cent.
All goods remaining on the bar
gain center tables will be sold at
half of clearing sale prices and
TEN PER CENT. LESS.
500 dolmans for $31.50.
SIS parasols for $72O.
Other dolmans, parasols, etc., at
corresponding reductions.
A few cases of mems heavy boots
reduced to $3. go per pair.
Better bargains in carpets and
wall paper than can be found any
where else, 80 far as we know.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

Another Crank.

BUFFALO, August %. - Captain
Rhodes il still lowering around The
city, but gives no special time for his
published intention to swim tie
Whirlpool. He is reported to have
purchased large dog which he in
tends to incase in his arnlor PREF ara
tory to sending the canine through
the rapids rs an experiment. No
faith is placed in Rhodes here where
he is best known, and is 10 .ked up
on as a sensational nuisance.

Poisonous COlOrs.

There was time when they were
hanging men and women for wear
ing of the green;" now such adven-
tureus people die naturally. A Mil
waukee girl is the latest victim and
was fatally poisoned in the handling
of green velvets over the counter.
Professor J. H. Long, chemist Of the
Chicago Medical College, states that
such deaths are not only possible but
of occasional occurrence. He believes
that death is caused by the inhala-
ton OF a white powder arising from
the fabric when handled, highly
poisoned by an arsenieal combina-
ton. Organic celors often contain
much arsenic and copper, and he
states that Scheele's green and Paris
green, when used in fabrics, are very
poisonous. German police authori-
ties have published long list of poi
sonous colors which are strictly for
hidden in the manufactures OF that
country. These colors, Professor
Long says, were formerly made Of
extracts Of harmless plants, but these
have .ecently given place to ami
illness, which, when made properly
are not poisonous. Aniiines are poi
sonous only when the arsenic used AS
q function in their manufacture has
not been eliminated. Every shade
of the rainbow may be produced
from anilines, but the average cost is
IS per pound, and manufactures have
resorted to rank poisons to produce
cheaper coloration, and the user and
rot the producer has to suffer. DIR.
Long describes aniline as one of the
greatest triumphs of modern history.
Produced from coal tar, in which no
coloration exists, but which, by
dozen processes of distilation and
conversion of constituents becomes a
coloring substance of the most bril-
liant nature. Madder red and indigo
blue are now made in the laboratory,
but it cost German chemists twenty
years to discover the secret. Very
little if any coloring matter is made
in this country. The crude materi-
ais, DR.. Long says, such as benzole,
are sent to Germany aud other Euro
pean countries, where by cheap skill
ed labor it is converted and imported.
1t is evident from the above that this
country is lacking in stringent laws
for the protection of it's fabrics from
cheap coloration and poison. The
only practical information mer-
chant can give is the cost of the ar
ticles. If it is cheap nd high color
Ell, especially green, it is dangerous
without doubt. He does not ask or
know what ingredients enter into its
construction, and is satisfied if it
sells and he realizes on his invest
ment. OF course men who deal in
high-priced d goods are quite certain as
to their manufacture.

BERLIN, August 22.--The North
German Gazette, Bismarck's organ,
in replying to the attacks of French
journals on Germany and their cry
for revenge, declares that France also

continue without serious danger, and
that passions fomented by agitation
may burst the bonds Of peace.

killing two persons and injuring sew
eral others. Hail stones fell measur-

Not So Much Quaker AS He

"You can never tell a man from

Dickey, of the supreme bench. in a
chat the other day. "Whsn l was
on the circuit bench a few years ago,
down in the interior of the State, l
saw man in the court room with
his hat on. I knew there were some
Quakers in that vicinity, and sup
posed that he was one. He was one.
He was witness, and when he came
up, thinking to respect religion, l
asked him what he wanted to do,
swear or affirm. To my surprise he
answered promptly: 1t don't make
- bit of difference to me which way
I found out afterward that he was
bald and kept his hat on for that rea-
son" ."-T. Louis Republican.
