DROWNED.

A nine year old son OF DR.. A. j.
Patchen of this city was drowned in ne
Manitowoo River last Sunday morning.
The little boy in company with two 9TH
or urchins went bathing in the river up
near the second railroad bridge. He
was unable to swim and be probably
went in beyond his depth and WAS una
bic to retreat
His companions ran off As fast as they
could and told what had befaIlen their
little comrade. They were very much
scared and it WAS only with the greatest
amount of persuasion that one Of them
was induced to return to the fatal spot
while the other absolutely refused to
go back.
Az soon ~ the news spread a large
party gathered on the scene TO help re-
cover We body. The river ~As raksd
and dragged all day Sunday without
avail. The wind was blowing quite
strongly and the current WAS quite swift
owing to the heavy rains OF the night
before.
The search was resumed Monday
morning. A raft was constructed and
hole made in its center through which
was placed q large tin tube. By means
Of this device the bottom of the river
could be seen quite plainly and after
short search the body was found about
twenty feet from the place where the
drowning occurred. The spot where he
lay WAS repeatedly dragged but the
hooks failed to take sufficient hold to
raise it. The family have the sympathy
of the community in their bereavement.
NEW GOODS. You will find no shelf
worn stock nor will you find goods mark
ed at what they cost years ago. All old
stocks of hardware, we don't care how
large, have in them very many goods
costing two and three times as much
as the same goods would to day and
consequently retaued at double the price
they should be. We haven't any old
stock. Our goods were bought at to-
days prices and they are marked at only
reasonable advance (Which can't be raid
of all hardware stocks) We have many
advantages to offer you when in need Of
anything. We have bright nice goods
to give you and We can save you 80 Per
cent. on all house trimmings and hard
ware notions, and can sell you all staples
as low and a little loaOer generally than
others. Nails $40 a keg. Wesell the
finest looking, the oldest and most reli
able make and the heaviest Stoves and
Ranges ever brought to this town and
while they have all Of the above named
advantages they have the additional one
land It's big one-the biggest of all, We
think Of being all 1884 patterns and hav-
ing in their make up all of the improve
msnts of the year. Ours are the only
'aeaU stoves brought to to,0n tbs gear.
With all of the above reasons for your
buying our stoves we have others that
will count. Our stoves were bought low
er than any old stock in town because
you know iron is cheaper now than
year ago. We don't ask as great profit
over the cost of the stoves within $500
as others do, besides giving you q better
outfit with your purchase. We mean
what we say, and we know from expert
enoe that we are right and any talk of
others about being larger buyers and
other nonsense is all bosh. Such talk
don't get away with the fact that their
goods are old and bought at old prices
while ours are new and at new prices.
We can save you $1,000 on good cook
stove or range over one of same weight
Eve mean the same number OF pounds 81
ison in ~ offered you by sthers besides
giving you the latest thing out, which
others can't do this year.
