SENATOR CAMERON heads of any
move to send q Cameron delegation
from Pennsylvania to the National
Convention by positively saying that
he is not q candidate for the Presi.
dency, and will not under any circum.
stances be candidate. So that set.
ties that part of it. BY the way,
doesn't this talk about a "solid delega.
tion" from Pennsylvania recall rather
unpleasant memoriesH There was an
attempt made in 1880 to send "solid
delegation" from this State, and, if our
recollection is not badly at fault, it
didn't work. The Republicans all
over the country have decided against
the "unit rule" and those who en-.
deavor to revive il are likely to get
hurt. Keep your hands of, gentle.
men, and let the Republicans in their
district conventions, say who they
want to suppOrt.-Mercer Dispatch.

judges to decide the question as to who had
won the suit Of clothes advertised IS prize
to the solver Of Alshuler's prize puzzle.
There were over one hundred letters, and

to the assembled host. About sixty solved
the problem, but the first one with the few

$500 suit Of clothes. A Mr.. Meyers, of

The Hosford SIGNATURE.

Mrs. John II. Hosford, whom, it will be re-
membered, gained victory over the sons and
daughters Of the deceased, at Minneapolis, by
having herself appointed administrative, is
again in litigation with the heirs, in regard
to the division of the property.
The heirs produce written argument be-
tween John II. Hosford and his wife, given
before the marriage, STIMULATING that she was
to have one seventh of the property, alike
with the SIX natural heirs. She produced a
later instrument, annulling the former con-
tract Mr. Al F. Schoch, of the City National
Bank, who is familiar with the Hosford sig
nature, went to Minneapolis on Tuesday, and
he, with other experts, unreservedly pro-
nounced the signature fraudulent. The case
is now under advsement. The natural heirs
are, Mesdames Mary Mcclure, Arabella Cain,
and Mary Rowe, of Freedom, Sarah P. Con
don, of Sheridan, and Geo. w. Lamb, of Lin.
coin, Neb.
The fight has been very bitter one, Mrs.
Hosford having been accused of poisoning
her husband, using undue influence, etc.
His body, buried near Harding, was taken up,
but the chemicals used in embalming him,
destroyed evidence Of poisoning had there
been any. The estate is worth $4,000.
Messrs. Snow and McDougall were among
the counsel for the heirs

The Reduction Sale.

The bona fde Reduction In the price OF all
merchandise offered to the public one week
ago by II. j. Gillen, has been accepted by an
appreciative people in search Of the real artl.
Gle which can always be found at this house
just as advertised. When this house offers
line Of goods they don't wish to carry, the
price is made in good faith TO move it, and
that price is avery low price, or one that the
house is fully satisfied cannot, or will not, be
met by any competitor.
The winter stock must 60 no,o, and the
price is made to move it. This house has yet
on hand large and well selected stock Of
winter goods, in the following lines
Ladies' Misses and Children's cloaks in
great variety, from low priced and medium,
to the finest in the market.
Shawls-the greatest assortment in all the
different grades much below market value.
Winter dress goods-the largest and most
complete stock, from the medium, or low
priced to the finest imported.
Flannels, blankets, underwear, hosiery,
gloves and all holiday goods.
Also complete line of boots and shoes Of
all grades.
OF course, much more might be said about
this stock but the above will be sufficient,
we think.
The main point to be remembered is that
this reduction sale is not catch. penny an
nouncement of a catch-penny reduction Of q
line of cheap goods-high at any price, with
old prices on desirable lines,-but a genuine
reduction on all lines of standard winter and
seasonable goods, through every department
of the house
Every fact advertised will be strictly lived
up 10, and every garment or fabric warranted
los represented. The desire is to unload at
once goods purchased late, which have been
sold low, and will be sold still lower. The
house will make prices that will move them
during January, the duration Of the special
sale,-prlces that will be acknowledged bar
gains; and these reductions will be found by
the buyer inside the store, and not in the news
papers only. All invited to call and make an
inspection.

The State Board of Agriculture has been in
session this week. 1t appears from the re.
ports that the Association lost sl4 900 by the
Fair at Olney last September. The most i'm
portant matter before the Board was the ques-
ton of placing all French draft horses in one
class. This was strongly opposed by the
Percheron breeders, who have had a special
class for their horses. The subject was ably
argued by both sides, the addresses covering
the whole of " Wednesday. 1t was thought that
the two classes would be consolidated; but
the Percheron men won the day, and these
horses will constitute separate class in the
premium list. Mr.. Sol Degen Of this city
was present at the arguments, representing
the Percheron breeders hereaboUts.
