Van Horns New stores.

Van Horns New Stores.
+ The remodeling of the stores of r. H..
Van Horn & Brother, on Union street, in
this city, which has been going on for
three or four months past, is now COM
pleted and the building is ready for Oc-
cupancy. Practically, the remodoliug
has resulted in new building, as there
is but little left OF the old stores, save the
front wall
The space formerly occupied by the
dry goods and the shoe and carpet stores
is now ono large store, with an extension
in the rear almost as great as the entire
length of the old stores. The size Of the
present building is so feet front by So
feet deep.
1t comprises, practically, four stories.
There is a basement about half the length
of tho main room and Of full width, well
lighted from the rear, which is designed
for tho display of oil cloths and other
goods. rJrsff
On the main floor the ceiling is 10 feet
high. Tho counters and shelvings are
! finished in ash and chestnut and are taste
fully arranged. Tho ceiling is of wood,
paneled, and painted. Iron columns sup
port the floors above. The counters are
so arranged as to group the'goods in sec
lions or departments. On the south side
of this floor will be kept the dry goods,
trimming and notion stores, and the mil
linery department. On the north side,
is the boot and shoe department. In the
centre of this room there is an opening
into the floor above 10 by "a feet, and
through this flood of light is poured
from large sky-light window in the roof
This window is composed of heavy cor
rugatcd glass, and has northern expo
sure. A wide and handsome stairway
leads TO the second floor.
The second floor will principally be
used for the display of carpets, rugs, mat
tings, &c. In the front, is room
which will be used for millinery worl
room. Above this room, front, is two Other
rooms, which will serve for storage pur
poses. A portion of the north side of thu
second floor is cut off and forms tho pho
tograph gallery of Mr.. f. Y. Fritz, de
scription OF which we reserve for mex
weeks issue.
Tho building will be heated Throughout
| by steam; it has an elevator running from
cellar to third story, and is supplied will
water and other conveniences ON every
floor.
Tho new store is certainly a credit t.
our city. The main room is beautiful
one, impressing visitors by its size and ar
rangement. Messrs. Van Horn have rea
son to feel proud of the result of thei
undertaking. 1t excels anything Of th,
kind in this section. As to size, the diff
ferent floors represent nearly one-thrd o
an acre.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, one of the ar

temperance. In the last number of The
Union Signal she closes vigorous letter
as follows:
Whatever gain has been made in tenn

slowly, and received too little help from

The Peanut Crop.

With profoundest satisfaction wo arc en-
abled to inform our readers that tho Ameri
can peanut crop this year promises to be
enormous, in fact tho largest over raised,
amounting, at moderate estimate, to 81
800, 900 bushels, while, If the weather should
continue favorable, it may mount to the
unprecedented figure of 100000 bushels,
gain of thirty three and ono-third per
cent upon tho best yield of any previous
year in our industrial history. The Ameri-
can peanut exerts an important influence
upon the American people, and tho larger
the crop the more potent, naturally, would
be the influence. Post.

Two Dangerous Seasons.

Spring and Fall are times when so many
people get sick. The changes in the
weather are severe on feeble persons, and
even those naturally strong are apt, as
they say, 'to be feeling miserable" Then
they are just in condition to be struck
down with some kind of fever. A bottle
or two of Parker's Tonic will inyigorate
the digestion, put the liver, kidneys and
blood in perfect order, and prevent more
serious attacks. Why suffer, and perhaps
die, when 50 simple medicine will save
you? Good for both sexes and all ages.

ing for Mr.. Hoff in July, and Mrs. IIoff

uNLUcKY COLD FINDERS.
The DISCOVERIES of Famous Mines On
Pointing the Way to Fortune
for Others


uNLUcKY GOLD FINDERS.
The Discoveries of Famous Mines Only
Pointing the Way to Fortune
for Others.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-The move
ment now in progress in this State to re-
lieve the wants of James w. Marshall,
the discoverer of gold on this coast, serves
as n reminder that all the successful gold
and silver hunters have failed most mis-
orably in the race for wealth. Marshall
never had anything. The crowds that
ilocked to California as soon as his dis
covery was announced swindled him until
he was poor, and he has been poor ever
since. Because he bad found gold once
people have seemed to think that he
might do so again il he tried. Ho is now
old and destitute, and unless something
is done for him ho will soon DO in abject
want.
The discoveries of the Nevada silver
mines made nothing by it, and most of
them have died penniless. Comstock,
the original owner of the far-iamed lode
bearing his name, sold his property for a
song, and a few months thereafter, when
its value was known, killed himself at
Bozeman in despair. Since his death
more than $500, 900, 600 in silver has been
taken out of the ground which was once
wholly his.
Patrick Mclaughlin, Peter O'Riley,
E. Penrod and j. A. Osborn, other dis.
coverers of silver in Nevada, sold their
holdings at nominal figures, or were de-
frauded of them.
In the new gold country in the C@ur
d'Alenes the jumpers have taken every
inch of property from Pritchard, the dis
cover, who toiled there for months alone,
and the courts in session at Eagle City
have confirmed their titles. Pritchard is
now wanderer, and others are getting
rich out of mines which his industry and
perseverance, revealed.
The discoverer of the richest mine in
Leadville sold it for $4,000, and in
twelve months tho owners had taken out
more than 81 ,00O 900, while the original
owner had lost his money in dissipation,
and was back again, looking for a grub
stake"
From Marshall to Pritchard the record
is unbroken. Not one of the men who
have found the precious metals has profit
ed by it himself.
