SHOES
The New Department

The success of this department, although es-
tablished but short time, has far exceeded our
expectation, and may be attributed to the fact
that we offer brands of universally acknowledg-
ed merit and mark them at the same low per
cent as dry goods in general instead of the eX-
orbitant profit added the cost by regular shoe
dealers. We desire to emphasize the fact that we
sell our shoes at lower figures, by about 20 per
cent, than are usually asked, and as proof OF
our intention and ability so TO do, we quote
q few prices of some of our leading styles:
Ladies' French Kid Button Boots, Rochester
made. at only $500, worth $500.
Ladies' Real English Kid Button Boots, our
price only 1895, Shoe Store price s.. 80

There is one lesson that the result

There is one lesson that the result
Of the recent elections teaches which
small and great politicians OF the
republican party will do well to
heed, and that is, that the people are
10 longer to be deceived by polit-
ical clap-trap, and the indiscriminate
abuse of party leaders and party
candidates, that if the republican
party hopes to regain control OF the
national government it must do SO
by some other means than raising
the insane cry of rebels and trait
ors against all who profess and call
themselves democrats. This cry
which proved all-powerful in past
national elections has now lost its
force. Eight months of good demo-
cratic government has shown to the
whole people that democratic ascen-
dancy does not mean the ruin OF the
country. On the contrary, the
country is happy and prosperous,
and Sherman and Foraker have
found out to their sorrow that they
misiudged the temper of the people
when few weeks ago they went to
New York and flung the bloody
shirt" to the breeze and raised again
the old WORKOUT cry of traitors and
rebels. And small politicians of the
once grand old republican party vii
do we'll to profit by the lessor
taught to their recognized leaders
There have been very many repub
leans whose jealous care for th'
interests Of the country induced
them to believe that it would b.
safer to trust the republican party
than the democratic party with TIT
reius of government, but there ar
by far too many partisan republi
cans whose Jealous care for the offices
prompted them to stigmatize az
svmpathizers with treason and re
bellion all who refused to preach the
gospel of sectional hate.

The editor of The Chronicle joins
with the democrats in declaring the
result of the recent elections very
satisfactory. He seems well satisfied
because such states as Iowa and
Pennsylvania are still left in the
republican column.

Mystery i'm orange.

The people of Orange are excited over the alleged disappearance of the wife of Emil Brehm, farmer of that place. About seven months ago Brehm married the daughter of Bernhard Oberkehr, well known German citizen of this city residing on Davenport av- enue. They resided about four months at the Oberkehr residence and then moved out to the residence of MT. Brehm, senior, in West Haven, town of Orange. Since then MT. Oberkehr has not seen his daughter and thought that her affections were estranged A few days ago MT. Oberkehr learned that the pair did not get on well together and on Tuesday young Brehm called on him and said that he was disappointed in his wife, as she was too lazy to come down stairs to her meals. Thursday MT. Oberkehr went out to the farmhouse of Brehm to find out what the trouble was and found that his daughter had mysteriously disappeared. Her husband said that she went away few days ago and the elder Brehm said that she had been gone about two weeks. The father started to return, astonished at the strange news and suspecting that both of the Brehms knew where his daughter was. On his way the elder Brehm overlook him and wanted to settle with him on, West Haven territory. MT. Oberkehr whipped up and drove home. Yesterday he revisited the place and heard the same story. He has put the matter into a lawyers hands. The friends of the girl fear that she is imprisoned or murdered No reason is known why she should attempt to escape. The affair is in volved in mystery.
