pa Business is booming at the MIS-
FIT CLOTHING PARLoRs, 262 Second
street. Business is never dull where
Push, Pluck and Energy are dis
played. The people are alive to their
own interests, and they always seek
the place where they can get the
most for their money.
That extra choice bargain lot of
fine MISFIT SUITS and OVER
COATS, spoken of in our last adver-
tisement, are going at lively rate.
If you want phenomenal bargain
don't hesitate. Come at once. An
other choice lot of Suits arrived yes
terday New goods are rolling in all
the time. We never have any Old
or Shop-worn Goods. You are sure
of the Very Best Cloth and the Very
Best Make. Better still, you are
sure Of the Very Lowest Prices.
Don't SILVER and Shake!
! So low are the prices at the MIsFIT
CLOTHING PARLoRs that there is no
excuse for going without good, sub
stantial and warm Overeoat. We bat
ter down all opposition by buying only
where we get good Overcoats far be-
low their real value. If we paid
full price for our goods we would
have to ask full price for them. But
we never pay full price for them.
Often we pay less than half price.
Is it any wonder, then, we can sell
low?

tailor-made winter clothing, hats, etc.,

$40 Jackson. street, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, st. Paul. That this
great sale comprises three immense
consolidated stocks from large whole

days, and in order to dispose of this
vast amount of goods in such short
time, the managers have offered an
inducement by marking prices down
As per cent. less than actual cost of

but genuine bankrupt sale. That
everything will sell rapidly and you

The fair at Ellsworth vas blessed
with weather most favorable, and the
people of the county gave evidence of
their interest in the exhibition by
turning out in goodly numbers. There
were about 5000 in attendance Thurs
day, and fully one-half that number on
Friday, which shows increased inter
est over former years. There were
two disappointments On Thursday,
caused by the absence of Mr.. Price,
the announced speaker, who was sick,
and by the failure of the balloon to as
cend on account of the wind. The
Rev. McManus made good speech as
substitute. On Friday J. C. Spooner
was present and made rousing good
speech, in which he gave "bogus but
ter" severe handling. The balloon
also made grand ascension on Fri
day, and the day was one of great in
terest, although the attendance was
not so large as on the previous day.
Undoubtedly the fair is improving
yearly, and all that is needed to make
it first-class, is for the farmers to see
and fully realize that their interests
are greatly enhanced by liberal ex-
hibition of their products at place
where large numbers of people can
see them. There are in attendance at
county fairs almost invariably those
who deal in the products of the farm
and they make it their business to in
spect the quality of produce of all
kinds, so that they may know where to
look for the best of what they want to
buy afterwards, and in those counties
where successful fair is maintained
the buyers of farm produce are al
