CHAMBER SUITS.
We have large line Of Chamber suits in
Walnut, Oak, Cherry, Ash, Maple

Antique Oak is now the rage as
much as ever, and Of them we sell
more than any other, but our assort-
ment and variety of Walnut is
equally as large and the prices are
just as interesting.
We have two suits that are leaders,
and to those we will call your atten-
ton. The first we sell, three pieces,
for $35. 1t is solid walnut, marble
top, nicely finished and well made.
1t is not the cheapest suit in the
markets. far as price is concerned
but for workmanship, finish and
size it is the best value for the money
we ever had.
The second is larger every way,
with more work on it and has Ten
nessee marble on bureau and wash
stand. 1t is worth s45; three pieces,
and will compare fayorably with any
$50 or $50 suit in the market.
These merely start the line. We
have them at all prices above this
and just as low in proportion.
Buyers Of suits win find it de-
cidedly to their interest to look over
our stock and secure prices before
purchasing elsewhere.

Significant Speech OF Count Douglas t@
His Constituents.
BERLIN, Oct Count Douglas, promi-
nent Conservative member Of the Prussian
landtag, in a speech 10 his constituents, said
that when Emperor William attended the
Russian military maneuvers in 1886 he sue
cessfuey used his influence against the policy
then predominant with the Russian govern
ment. The greatness Of Germany and the
preservation Of her monarchial principle, he
declared, were the sole objects Of the present
emperor Owing TO the confidence they felt
in the emperor, the people no longer asked
what would become Of Germany when she
should be deprived Of the services Of Prince
Bismarck Emperor William did not favor
the extreme political religious views Of Dr.
Stoecker He was in no way identified with
the high church party, and certainly depre-
Gated anti-Jewish agitation.
The speech created great sensation ON ac-
count Of Herr Douglas close relations with
the court.
