MEMS SUITS.

In mems suits we have tweeds,
worsteds, satenets and meltons,
plain and fancy, well made and
trimmed. Prices are 81. 50 to 81
for full suits, these are great bar
gains. In better grades we have
all shades and styles of solid cassi-
mers for farmers, mechanics and
laborers. For the young men who
want fine dress suits which are
equal to the finest custom tailor
ing we have them in serge, silk
and satin lined, in sacks, frocks or
GETAWAYS. Gentlemen who have
never patronized our store because
laboring under the false idea that
we do not keep clothing fine
enough for them should make it
point to come in and see for their
own satisfaction.

THOUSANDS OF PANTS.

A very big quantity it is true
but not single pair too many il
our expectations of selling are
realized. There is every reason
why we should dispose of them
very easily. The goods are the
best and the prices are the lowest
This we guarantee and as is well
known our guarantee means some
thing-not nothing. The prices
range from 50 cents to SO and in
the enormous quantity we have in
stock every pattern, style and
quality. No one can possibly ex-
pect the pants we sell at 50 cents
to be Of such value as higher priced
goods.

OVERCOATS.

Overcoats for men boys and
children. Why should any man
with cash and sense pay more
money elsewhere for a good over
coat than we charge for goods of
equal finish, style and quality ?
Do you see any reason in it1 No !!
Of course not. Our prices for
men start at SI.75 and while it may
be said that our lowest priced
overcoats cannot be bought else
where for less than double the
money. In finer grades we have
them in all patterns and styles en-
bracing all that is new and desira-

FURNISHING GOODS.

Right from the beginning Of the
season we shall name prices for all
kinds of mems and boys furnish
ing goods that will cause this to be
one of our leading branches. Al
though we now do larger trade in
these goods than all others combin.
ed, our ambition knows no bounds,
we want to do more and we are
going to do it. The cold spell has
caused boom in heavy under
wear and this is just what we were
waiting for. Within the last few
weeks we have received a gigantic
stock Of these goods purchased
direct from the mills at jobbers'
prices and will be sold to our Gus
toners at prices other dealers are
compelled to pay for them. We
for instance are offering knit shirts
and drawers at 20 cents; also can
ton flannel at same figures; heavy
ribbed goods at IS cents; we have
also all the better grades in merino
and all wool in fancy and plain at
the lowest figures. Our stock Of
white and percale shirts was never
so complete. We are sole agents
for the celebrated STANDARD
shirt made of 2Ioo linen and wam-
sutta muslin, fit guaranteed in every
case. We have all the new novel
ties in flannel shirts. Our line of
neck wear and hosiery cannot be
excelled in the State. The same
may be said of handkerchiefs, sus-
penders, Gloves and every article
in this branch. 1t is by the prices
that we expect to make our trade
and we urgently invite you to come
in and see for yourself. 1t is to
your interest as we'll as your COM
fort to buy the STANDARD shirt.

MORGANTOWN'S CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATEDIN KANSAS.
The MOnOngaIfa Colony Sing
Songs and Make Speeches
I'm Honor of their
First Love.

Special Correspondence to NEw DOMINION
BETHEL, KAN, Nov. THE most
pleasant event of last week was the
observance of Centennial day here in
Kansas. Until Monday nothing
was done toward celebrating, but on
that day Mrs. George Smyth and
Mrs. S. A. Everly said, 1T will never
do; we love our native land, and
while the hills and wales of Mononga-
liza reverberate with speech and song,
the gentle winds of Sunny Kansas
shall echo back, God bless our Ma
tive Land, May Peace, Prohibition
and Prosperity, be ever within her
borders" George Smyth kindly
said, my house is open for all. =
The news was quickly circulated and
on Thursday the Conrtneys, the
st. Glars, the Repperts, the Ander-
sons, the Waters, the Everleys; from
the aged Saul Reppert and Rein
Everley down to bright eyed, laugh
ing babes, came marching in, bring
ing baskets well filled with almost
every variety of food, pleasant to
look upon, and dainty enough to
suit the most fastidious. A merry,
happy group surrounded the festal
board and did ample justice to it's
contents. In the center of the table,
towering high above the rest, was a
large beautiful cake, with this in
scription, in frosted letters, "Centen-
NAL of Morgantown, W. Va, Oct.
29th."
After dinner, we had vocal and
instrumental music, and very affect
ing speeches, from Rein and S. O.
Everley, and as they brought to our
memories, scenes of earlier days in
the land of our birth, the silent tear
would flow, and we exclaimed with
one of old: Eyes my native land, 1
love thee, love each hill and vale and
dell" and when we separated, we
realized it was good to have been
there"
Mrs. Waters returned to-day to
Junction, City Kansas.
Lon Everley has lost II hogs from
cholera. This disease is making it
hard on the farmers, as buyers are
getting afraid to ship hogs, as they
lose so many, and it keeps the price
down. About $3.50 and $3.50 hun
dred is all they pay now.
The two Grants, Reppert and
Dinwoodie have returned from their
western trip, and report beautiful
country.
E. P. Everley resigned his school
this week and expects to go to Kan
sas City, Mo-, and engage in bust
ness there.
Marion Everley lost a valuable
four year old horse this week.
George Ira Keener and wife, of
Clay Center, Kan, were visiting
Alpheus Keener and other friends in
this vicinity recently
Ed. Keener, now has in his posses
sion the famous black horse, NEGRO"
owned by S. A. Everley
Mrs. Rose Everley received a let
ter the other day from an old friend
whom she had not heard from since
she. came to Kansas. That lady saw
Mrs. Everley's name in the locals
from this place and was glad to learn
her address. Some one may fall
heir to a fortune and only find it out

HATS AND CAPS.

We are prepared as never before
with all the newest styles and nov
elites in both stiff and soft Hats.
Our stock is wonderful in its
extent, its variety and its
beauty, but as attractive as it is
for these reasons, it is more SO on
account Of the insignificant prices
which we put on them. We sell
mems good wool Hats at IS cents
and all others proportionately low.
We also carry complete line of
trunks, valises, umbrellas and
rubber goods.

OUR Cornet Band attended the
Morgantown Centennial last week.
Owing to the rain the boys had a
very unpleasant trip to and from
Fairmont by the pike, but at
the Modern Athens they had very
pleasant reception and are very well
pleased with the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the citizens of
the town. The band went to Nor

time to make the preparation they
desired, but we are pleased to learn
that they acquitted themselves very
creditably in their playing.-Graf-

Nobody doubts that if the election
were held tomorrow, Grover Cleve-
land would be the chosen candidate
OF the democracy and would be tri-
umphantly elected. There's no tell
ing what will" happen in the next
three years, but if he stands stead
tasty on the platform of practical
and reasonable civil service reform.
he will as certainly succeed himself
as the people are allowed to choose
the next President.

Exit Malone.

|
There may be more political re-
suits, and larger issues may hang
upon other developments of Tues
days elections, but there is no single
event of the moment which will sink
into the soul with such sweet and
lingering ecstacy as the now ascer-
tanned defeat of Mr.. William Ma
hone. Very likely Democratic vic
tory in New York may be fraught
with deeper National significance,
and the Democratic gains, whatever
tests have been made, may throw a
brighter light upon the future of re-
form; but the human heart is selfish,
and it will dwell with obstinate and
ineffable delight upon the final OBJ
liberation of Malone.
The record of the struggle that
has been made to retain in power
this arch-enemy of every thing hon
orable and decent in politics will
never be made public 1t is a rec
ord of conspiracy, of INSCRIPTIONS
and relentless selfishness, of unutter-
able turpitude, of debauchery and
corruption and wickedness beyond all
words. 1t cannot be understood-it
could not be believed-by any one
who has not seen the revolving truth
with his own eyes. 1t would be
waste of time to try and impress it
in all its nauseous enormity upon the
popular mind But the shining and
stupendous fact that the evil fabric
has fallen in irreclaimable ruins and
buried its architect forever, sheds
glorious radiance ON the scene and
satisfies the deepest craving of the
honest heart.
There has been nothing in our his
tory to give such perfect and acute
satisfaction as the final and conclu-
sive removal from political power of
William Malone During his career
he has managed to create for him
self more widespread and deep
seated aversion than has ever before
been concentrated upon single in
dividual He has become identified
with the popular idea of everything
Objectionable and disreputable in
public life. His fell influence, his
evil preeept, his demoralizing exam
pie, have brooded over Virginia like
blight. He has been the presiding
genius of political corruption at
home, the incarnation of unftness in
the American Senate With refer
ence to him, people have experien-
ced more intimate and poignant
distaste than they ever knew before.
With reference to him, whole Com
monwealth has risen as one man to
spurn the blot upon it's honest name.
He disappears at last. There can
never be return of the condition
which made Malone possible. The
sweet, full inspiration of freedom
which Virginia draws into her lungs
to-day will set the rich blood pulsing
in her veins, and into that re-estab-
lished health and strength that fur
tive poison can enter no more. Thank
God for the deliverance!-W ashing-

The mugwumps of New York have
had their mugs somewhat elongated
by the result of the election. They
are the GROWERS of every campaign.
They don't exactly know where they
stand as to any particular party or
principle, except it be when they
find that party or principle on top
and then they are "furninst it." They
opposed Blaine in the last presiden-
tial campaign and supported Cleve-
land. In the recent campaign they
virtually supported Blaine and op-
posed Cleveland. Davenport was a
representative of the Blaine element
in his party and the mugwumps
fought for him might and main
Hill was the representative and
warm personal and political friend of
Cleveland, and they turned about
and fought him bitterly. The mug
wump is nothing if it is not a
growlcr.

The unterrified democracy were a
long time on the outside of the pub
lie crib. The recent elections are
the assurance that they will be on
the inside long enough to get their
craws full, and the outside fellows
will be very hungry while the pro-
cess continues. The political situa-
ton is very full of interest just now.
1t is full of assurance for democrats
and of discourgement for republi-
cans. AS to the mugwumps, they
wouldn't be happy no matter what
the situation.

1t begins to look like Grover
Cleveland is really man of destiny.
Whatever is really material to his
triumph and success seems to come
about. 1t would have been a decided
backset for him to have lost New
York. And on the other hand
the gain to him is as great or greater
than even to the successful candi-
date for Governor. 1t is unmistaka-
bly, and emphatically an endorsement
of Cleveland's policy. That was the
issue made in the campaign. 1t
was loudly announced and accepted
as the Interpretation that would be
put upon the election of Hill. The
Democrats accepted the issue and
fought it out on that line; and Gro
yer has come out on top.

New York voted straight, and that
meant, as it always means, straight
Democratic victory. That is about
the size of the result in New York.
Nothing more is necessary to ex-
plain it. 1t is seldom that square
vote can be had in that State, but
when we get it, we know what it
means.

"To the victors belong the honors"
is the way an exchange puts it.
"Honors" is better term than
"spoils" in this connection. The Of
fees ought not to be regarded in the
sense of "spoils" by political party,
and yet whatever official honors are
contingent upon victory of this
kind naturally and properly belong
