In the history of proprietary medicines has
any article met success at home equal to that
which has been poured upon HOOPS SARsA-

OF this article, that nearly every family in
whole neighborhoods have been taking it at

WILL STAY At WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Nov 80 President
Cleveland Sunday afternoon determined
not to make the trip to Indianapolis to
attend Vice President Hendricks funeral.
HIS reasons for not going were state /
very fully to reporter this evening To
whom he said: In the first moment of
the shock of Mr.. Hendricks death
yielded to my inclination and declared nv
intention to be present at the funeral OF
course, in reaching that conclusion did
not put out of view peremptory press
of public business or what / deemed IL
sufficient consideration of my duty to the
people. The public business thought
could dispose of by additional applca~
ton and more hours of work, and cons
sidered it to be my duty to the people to
answer tender sentiment of respect and
affection to the dead vice president which
does them great honor. l am satisfied
now that | was at fault in considering
the question in that / did not take
as comprehensive view of the duty
l owe the public as l should; that
is, did not look at every phase of it,
and | am afraid my strong personal de-
sire somewhat clouded my judgment. /
am now reminded by some of the best
and most patriotic and thoughtful of our
citizens that the real and solemn duties
OF my office are at the national capitol,
and that in the present peculiar and del
cate situation | ought not to take even
the remo,est chance of accident incident
to travel to crafty sentiment so gener-
al and so characteristic as that involved
in the subject. l have been profoundly
impressed by these considerations, but
most OF all influenced by their
strong and unanimous presentation
by the devoted friends of the late vice
president living in the state and city and
their Endorsement by the noble and patri-
otic woman, who, in the infinite sorrow
of her widowhood. reflects the spirit and
character of her honored husband in her
solicitude for the public good. am now
certain that neither my desire, Ior the
sentiment referred to, nor the difficulty
that attends in this case change of de-
sign, nor any stubborn idea of herosm
will justify me in subiugating the country
20 and greater chance ot disaster than at
ENDS my performance of strict duty here.
md that l ought not inflict upon my
'ountrymen even the unrest and anxiety,
attending my departure, absence and re-
urn in attendance upon the funeral Ger
,monies."

A CONTEMPLATED CHANGE.
To be Preceded by Closing Out sale.


For some time past Mr.. l.. Wolfson
has had in contemplation an enlarge
ment ofhis already huge establishment.
In order to accomplish this the begin
ming will be to remove the wall which
now is dividing the several departments
up and down stairs. MIR. Wolfson now
announces that In order to make room
for carpenters and masons lie Is com
PEELED to close ont n large stock Of car
pets and furniture entirely ut strictly
cost prices. The carpet department,
which has always been one of Mr..
Wolfson's specialties, u rs yet complete
In all Its branches, with rugs and
mats to match each grade, shade and de-
sign. The furniture, consisting Of vari-
Gus patterns and designs of parlor and
bedroom sets, are yet complete In large
assortments. Notwithstanding the heavy
sales made during the last few days.
Mr.. Woltson informed LIGIr represen-
tative that his announcement to close
out these goods Is made In good faith
and intended to he carried out strictly
to the letter, though, Notwithstanding
the dull times lately, there has been u
constant rush to Wolison's. Here, also,
can be found everything necessary
for the furnishing of Offices and
halls In any style desired. and
dining room and Kitchen furniture
In styles and qualities and quantities to
suit the most las idious, and It should be
obrn in mind that all these goods are
sold at strictly cost prices, and while
these chances do not occur often, 1t Is
advisable for all, whether in need or not
to avail themselves of this chance to OBJ
tain goods at prices which may never be
offered again. While special disposal
of the class Of goods mentioned is de-
sired, the same kind OF reduction In
prices is made in all departments, inclu-
In the large establishment Of Wolison's
bazaar.
