Elsewhere will be found the formal an
nouncement of Locey Il Smith, who to-day
open very fine line of dress goods in opera
house block. A representative of the FREE
TRADER called on these gentlemen yesterday
and had the pleasure of inspecting as well Sc
lected a stock of dress goods and novelties as
was ever brought to Ottawa. While some
houses may have larger stocks none excel
them in the range of qualities, or the attract
ivencss in which the goods are displayed.
Mr. Lacey, as most of the readers know, is
an expert in handling dry goods, and he has
exhibited his usual good skill on this occa-
sion. His partner, Charlie" Smith, needs
no introduction. He is the same genial wide
awake man behind the counter that he was in
handling the farmers grain at Buffalo Rock.
Everybody knows him and all hold him in
high regard The Ladies' will be especially
pleased too, to know thatMiss Fisher for sew
crrl wears recognized AS one'of the best sales
women in the city, will be found with the new
firm All things considered, the opening OF
Lacey IL Smiths store to-day seems to be a
forerunner of good bargains to the purchaser
of dry goods.

Death Of T. B, Stumph,

The sudden death of Thomas B. Stumph at
his home in South Ottawa on Sunday last oc-
casioned much surprise and many regrets
among those who knew him best. He had
been in poor health for some time owing to a
partial paralytic stroke of the brain received
about two years ago, although few outside Of
his family believed his illness to be of seri-
Gus nature. On Saturday last he came TO town
on foot after first having hitchcd up his horse
and left it standing in the shed ut home, u
circumstance that gave some uncasiness to his
family. Accordingly his brother-in-taw, s. C..
Mills and Mrs Stumph came to Ottawa in
search of him, but only succeeded in tracing
him towards home late in the afternoon. On
rrturnng home, however, it was found the
missing man had not been there, and in conse-
quencc few neighbors were asked to join in
the search. About . o'clock in the evening
Charles Crook and Charles Matson found him
lying upon the ground against the tool house
upon Mr.. Crooks premises, some 20 or 30
rods from his own home. He was perfectly
helpless, and although conscious of what was
going ON his mind seemed bcwildcrcd. He
was taken home and medical aid summoned,
but all that could be done for the unfortunate
man was of no avail. He died at 2:3D p. m. on
Sunday. The cause of bis death was paralysis
of the brain, growing out of disease contract
ed in the army twenty years ago. The funeral
took place on Tuesday afternoon, Rev. w. +.
Day of this city preaching the sermon.
Deceased was born in Fayette county, Pa,
Aug. 81, 1913, and came to La Sale county
when yet boy. He was one of the first to
enlist in the sd H. Vols. when the summons
came for soldiers, and was one of the ycte
rams to re-enlst at the end of his first three
years service. During one year he was drum
major of the regiment and for Il long time
held the position of hospital steward At fine
close of the war he came home and on Nov. H.,
1866, was married to Miss Sarah j., Il daugh-
ter of Daniel Mills of South Ottawa His wife
and three of the six children born to them sur
vive him. In civil life Mr. Stumph served as
deputy Sheriff under Mcintyre and stevens,
and rs such made many friends throughout
the county.
He was an exemplary citizen aud his death
under such saddening circumstances is deeply
felt.
Mrs. Stumph desires us to express her sin
thanks to the many kind friends who rendered
valuable assistance before and after the death
of her lamcnted husband,

Concera,ng the lecture of Prof. Tufts of
this city, at Sreator, on Sunday evening last,
the Monitor has the following favorable com
ments:
One of the most interesting addresses that
has yet been given in the opera house Sunday
evening lecture course was given last evenin =
by Prof. Tufts, principal of the Ottawa High
School, on "Why we are an English speaking
race" Notwithstanding the historical char
acter Of theme, the lecture was original in its
arrangements, choice in its words incentive
in its suggestions, and new in its applications,
and left most happy impression as to the
speakers manliness and sound understand
ing. The Professor is fine speaker and the
appreciative audience learned more in that
hours lecture than they could have learned
in weeks perusal of all the histories writ
ten on that subject. 1t seemed, indeed, that
the language of II people has more to do with
Il peoples health, wealth, habits, morals, in
telligencc, power and true greatness than all
else beside The speaker said that the Eng
lsh language was like the original language
pile who use it have been and will continue to
be Il settled, industrious, moral and cduca-
tional people Among the strong, allied
forces of this language to preserve II from
local peculiarties and so from destruction, the
speaker enumerated the railroad, the tclc-
graph and printing press. This lecture ought
to be heard in every hall, church and school
house in this county. Ottawa is to be con
graduated on having such man at the head
of her cdu, ational interests

The bridge controversy Is still IN an unset
tied state. Messrs McDermott and Mahcr of
the Ottawa board have given notice to the
public that the bridge is in an unsafe condi-
ton and warn all persons that they cross it at
"their own risk" Sons people doubt whcth-
er this action removes any Of the responsible
ty on their part. 1t is also announced in
yesterdays Republican that bids will be opened
on the 18th inst. in the presence OF the com
mlssioners of the two towns and the members
of the beard of supervisors. The South OF
tawa commissioners disclaim any knowledge
of such an arrangement, and say that if pro
posals for bids have been made it is without
their knowledge and unauthorized by them.
How it will end no one can forcsec, except
that the public lhave been warned against the
use of the bridge, both by the commissioners
above referred to and by two or three sets OF
experts. Isn't it about time this foolishness
be stopped, and either the old bridge be put
in safe condition or new one of some kind
built?

The Ottawa Fire Clay and Brick Company
have made for Mr.. Hulls uses All octagon
paving brick of mixed fire and surface clay,
which we believe one of the best if not the
best sidewalk building material fin the world.
1t is as hard us stone, will not wear smooth
like stone, will not chip with freezing: and
Is very cheap. The laying need not cost
much more than that of a plank walk, swhile
the cost of the material will be but about
one and half times that of plank. Mr.. Hull
proposes to lay walk using these brick. The
experiment will be noted with interest, for
the sidewalk question is becoming serious
one, and cheap permanent material VIII be a
boon to more towns. than Ottawa.

enjoy an cnviable reputation in the east, and
wherever introduced soon take the lead of all
others. The prOprictors claim that these pills
will cure sick headache erery time, and that
they are so small and -o unlike pills generally
