Gloves are peculiar. There
is no sort of goods in which
tits easier to go astray; none
in which the utmost rigor in
adherence 10 standards is
more necessary. There are
good gloves for economical
people, good gloves for ex-
travagantpeople, good gloves
for people between, and a
great variety for them all;
There are also many sorts OF
good-looking gloves for all
sorts of people. The good
of all sorts we keep. The
merely good-looking we do
not keep. We draw the line
sharply between the good
and the not good. But there
arc degreesof goodness and
~c keep several,
10 be short; Cookbook
ing gloves are of all degrees
of goodness; and we sharply
rule out those below a fair
standard of honesty. Have
you noticed that we almost
never advertise gloves below
value? The reason is We
can'tgct honest gloves below
value, e%ccpt by rare ac'

A FEARFUL FLOOD.
The Same Having Overtaken Lincoln on
the goth.

The Lincoln Journal of the 21st gives
an account of the recent disastrous rain at
that place, of which the following is an
extract:
In Lincoln the most serious damage
worked by the floods Of rain was at Masonic
temple. At that place break was made in
the area wall on the south long before the
storm was over, and at midnight Journal
reporter discovered, at cost OF wetting,
that the Western Newspaper Union office in
the basement of the building, was flooded
from three TO four feet deep with the dirti-
est and muddiest lot of water that could get
into 1t. When morning came 1t showed bad
work within and without that office. The
wall on the south nearly the entire length Of
the building had fallen in, the new part
completed within the past week and taken
out by a late rain being the first to give way
and fell before the wash of Sunday night.
Ali the sidewalk was likewise wrecked-the
damage done to walk and wall not being less
than 5000. The most serious loss
and hurt occurred inside the office of
the Western Newspaper Union, and Man
ager Meigs reports that $1,000 to
81 800 will be required to make good the
damage. Much Of the loss comes from dam
aged stock, but the most serious comes
from delay that will be caused to the filling
of orders from this office of the company.
However, Mr.. Meigs acted promptly in the
m alter, sent his head men to Omaha by
early Monday trains, shipped his "home
ads' to that point, and notified his patrons
Of what had befallen him and that they
would be served from the Omaha Office as
fast as possible. He did the best he could
under the circumstances. and his customers
will act accordingly. The basement of the
Webster block reXt east OF the Masonic
temple were all flooded, and numbers of
them suffered severely. The new sani-
tarium lost 800 in the destruction of its
plunge bath walls; Odell, the restaurant
man, lost $20J in damaged provisions, while
Newton lost $3.50 in damage to stock and
of working operations.

FIREMEN IN LINE.
A Sdlendld Parade and Interesting Con-
tests at the Tournament.

Omaha Herald, 24th
The fremen's tournament opened
with grand parade which was the finest
display Of the kind ever made in the west.
The streets along the line of march were
densely packed with people, and there was
general attempt at decoration with flags
and evergreens. Occasionally a canvas
stl Gamer with the word "Welcomeo could
be seen, hut the effort in this line was not
what it might have been or what the occa-
sion called for. The reception, on the
other hand, was as generous and warm as
it was deserved. Fully 1000 fremen, in
bright uniforms, with gaily appareled ap-
paratus, marched in excellent style over the
long route, never man fal.erlng, though
Old Sol sent down his iercest rays, making
the day perfect melter.

Trouble With the Indians.

Durango, Col, was greatly excited
on the oath over the arrival of Red Jacket
with forty warriors highly painted and
heavily armed. The city marshal arrested
one for disturbance and carrying firearms,
and was knocked down by the other In
dians. The Indians then mounted their
horses and started to leave town. Several
citizens and cattle men gave chase. and a
running fight was kept up for two miles,
when the Indians succeeded in getting out
Of range. Some seventy shots were fired on
both sides, but no one was injured so far as
known. The citizens have asked for troops
to keep Indians on the reservation and
away from town. The cattle men Of south
ern Colorado are very indignant over late
losses of cattle, horses, and the burning of
their camping outfits. There will be
general war between them aud the Indians
unless something is speedily done. to pro-
tect their interests from thieviug bands of
Utes. r

MORE LEISURE
And Less Work is What the Workingmen
Are After.

About 1000 bricklayers, 5000 Ia
bors and 200 hosting engineers and trainers
Of New York city struck work on the Goth
because their employers refused to grant
the demand that nine hours shall constitute
days work instead of ten. The employers
who denied the request say they can get
other men to take their places, when the
men will be willing to return at the old
terms. When the bosses who granted nine
hous think others are as foolish as they will
have to yield in the end. AS fast as men
struck they reported to the headquarters Of
their respective unions. About thirty-fve
employers allowed the men to go to work on
their own terms. Hugh Mcmahon, who
has charge of the erection of the new cotton
exchange, says: fThe building trade is
very lively. / do not think the boss builder
can afford to have the men go on strike
for any length of time without suffering
great loss.' Nearly all large builders will
grant the demand.
1t is reported that on many Jobs the men
were not out ten minutes before told to go
to work again. A large number of bosses
held out till noon and then yielded, thus
leaving not over 9. 900 on the strike.
