but deplorable features OF the recent
extraordinary furry in mining stocks
on the Pacific coast, that $4,OOO,OOO,
made up of small deposits, has lately
been withdrawn from the San Fran
cisco savings banks for purposes Of
speculation. The mourners, many Of
them, are now going about the streets
in a penniless condition, while the in
stigators Of the boom, who profted
therefore, are severely denounced.

South Atlantic states to Arkansas,
very much as they did from the South

have been quite successful in their op-

The senate and house conference
committees on the Cullom and Reagan
Interstate commerce bills have come
to an agreement and reported a sub
stitute measure. This measure will
retain the feature of the Collum bill
which provided for the establishment
OF a commission to deal with COM
plants against railroads, though ship
pers will be allowed to prosecute suits
for damages in the courts on their
own behalf. On the long and short
haul question a compromise has been
agreed on. The provision adopted
makes it unlawful for any railroad to
charge more under substantially SINH
lar conditions for transportation for
a shorter than longer distance over
the same line and in the same direc-
tion, the shorter being included with
in the longer distance. The commits
sion, however, is authorized to relieve
the railroads from the operation of
this provision in special cases, but on
ly after investigation. Uponthe ques-
ton OF prohibiting pools, the Senate
conferrees have yielded to the House
committee and stringent prohibitory
clause has been adopted. Upon the
question publicity of rates q substi-
tute has been agreed upon which re.
quires the railroads to display in ev-
cry depot the rates established be-
tween points on their lines and to file
with the commission copies OF all joint
tariffs or through rates to which they
may be parties.

Rambling Talk !


About the middle of last March
the idea occurred to us to present
every purchaser of u Boys Suit
with pair Of roller skates. We
then ordered 1000 pairs (when
bought in such large quantities
the cost is but trifling), and on
last Friday we were compelled
to duplicate the order. Inasmuch
as not single pair of skates loft
our house unaccompanied by o
Boys or Child's Suit of Clothes it
will be seen that in six weeks we
have sold over 1000 Suits for
Boys and Children. This In itself
proves the popularity of our
goods, our prices, and our
m ct hods of doing business.
Doubtless there are good many
parents and guardians who have
not yet seen our stock. our styles,
or our prices. To those we re-
spectfully extend a standing in
vitation to visit our house at
their convenience, look through
our stock, compare our styles
and prices with those to be found
elsewhere, and then d | d o
whether our claim to keeping the
finest goods and selling them at
the lowest price is good one or
merely an idle boast. No visitor
is ever importuned to buy; our
experience has been that when
goods are needed our styles and
prices sell them without any eff
fort. We keep Children's Suits
as low as $1.25, and right pretty
little suits they are. We have
them in every grade up to the
finest made. We keep Boys,
Youths, and Mems Clothing in
abundance, selected with care
and attention. Our styles are
the latest and nobbiest to be
found on the American market.
Our prices are the lowest that
can possibly be named for such
goods and live We fancy our
methods meet with the approval
of orr people.
