Cloudy weather, aided by rain, has prac

Manufacturers in New York have failed ow-
ing to the weather. They could not sell
their goods, consequently had to make set
tlement the best way they could with their
customers. We, always on the alert for bar
gains, had an opportunity offered us to pur-
chase lot of this seasons Sunshades and
Parasols at low price. Being the first
to look the goods over, had first choice; so
that the imperfect ones went elsewhere. The
perfect Parasols came to us. Now if you

lower than they ever were to our knowledge
in any previous season.

Catarrh to ConsumDtion.


Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is.
therefore. singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it, Deceptive rem.
edies concocted by ignorant prstenders to medical
knowledge have weakened the confidence of the
great majority sufferers in all advertised remedies
They become resigned to life of misery rather
than torture themselves with doubtful pallatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every Stage and combatted with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and tasting af
fected to be useless the uvula elongated, the
throat so indamed and irritated to produce
constant and distressing cough.
Sanfords Radical Cure meets every phase of
Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent in
curing, SAFE economical and never-faifng.
Each package contains one bottle of the Radical
Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and an Improved
Inhaler, with treatise; price 81.

DEATH OF DEXTER.


Robert Bonner's Famous Trotter Sue
cumbs to Old Age-Sketch of His Career
ON the Turf. .a.H.t
New YORK, April 23.--Dexter, the famous
trotter, died Saturday morning at the
stable of Robert Bonner in this CITY, He
was just 80 years old, having been foaled
in April, 1858. He died of old age and ex-
haustion. The body will be taken up to
Mr.: Bonner's farm at Tarrytown, where it
will be buried
For two years the old horse has been vege-
tating in idleness under the fostering care Of
Mr.. Bonner Foaled in 1858, he had nearly filled
the span of equine life, and during those two
years no harness was allowed to touch his back
Some time before his teeth had refused properly
to perform their office, and the old hero had to be
fed mashes and other soft food. For months life
had been kept in his wornou body by kind and
wise treatment. Mr. Bonner paid $4,000 for
Dexter. When Dexter was years old his
owner sold him for $40O to the late George B.
Alley, of New York. Mr.. Alley kept Dexter I'M
til 1865 or 1885, and then, the horse having de-
veloped a remarkable turn of speed in numer-
GUS races, he sold him for $14 1000 to Mr.. Faw-
cett, prominent livestock man and lover
OF horses, of Chicago. Dexter's record at this
time was 2:22h. August ID, 1858, Dexter was
driven in Buffalo to beat the trotting record Of
2:19A, then held by Flora Temple. On the oc-
casion of his Buffalo trial Dexter trotted pre-
paratory mile in 2:21A, and then COW
cred the circle in 2:1714, the fastest time
a mile was ever trotted at that time. Imme-
diately upon the result of this trial becoming
known to MIR. Bonner he purchased and with
drew him from the turf. Mr.. Bonner has said
that he considered Dexter, in many respects
the most remarkable trotting horse ever
foaled. On one occasion, after Mr.. Bonner had
purchased Dexter, he drove the horse to sulky
mile in 2:16 Subsequently he drove him to
road wagon in 2:21k.]
