day resolved itself into legislative cham
Der and on the advice of Medeville raised
the question of the courts competency To

promise of secrecy, on the ground that as
the indictment had been widely published
they had the right 10 publicly express their
opinions in the case. They moved that the
court was incompetent 20 try Gen. BOu-

The new game "Playing

thank the public for the interest
they have taken in it, helping
us as they have in making it a
success, for while the statesmen
and employees If our compeIi-

front door wondering how long
the smoke was to obscure the
top of Mt. Helena, or talking of
other equally interesting topics,
we have been busy either selling
goods or filling orders for our
mail order department for he
past week has be n something
enormous, showing that p hen
ever "Harris advertises any
thing the people in the surroud-
ing country know that he means
just what he says.
THE CLEARANCE SALE.
Did you see the crowds we
had last week. AS a general
thing this is an off season with
clothing men. Those that can
get out of town and those that
can't stay at home and growl
about the state of the country
lament ''the good old times
when they had to pay 800
sack for -four and S15 for pair
of shirts ETC, and had for their
Pullman berth the hurricane
deck of a concord coach. We
can say why it is that we have
never had a "growl a coming"
our sales book dom show it for
now in midsummer we are do
ing what would be a good busi-
ness for mid winter. Not that
we are making any money for
we are simply carrying out our
promise of giving ''a genuine
clearance sale and in the most
literal sense we are having it
clearing both profit and styles.
81 different lines ''closed out"
last week. A pretty good re-
cord W tn the head of the house
away.
OUR NEW SHIRTS.
Our Mr.. Ben f. Harris wired
US "can you use 100 dozen silk
stripe shirts at bargain " We
wired him ''of course we can.
We can always use nything
good that is cheap. They came
yesterday per express and they
are BIRDS We bought them
cheap a, d we will sell them
cheaper, look here a lovely silk
stripe shirt for 81 25; your folks
that gave up 81 90 and 50. 90 for
some no better
That line of summer coats
and vests not quite all gone, so
in goes the knife to the hilt and
this week they will be 70 cents
for coat and vest, and if that
don't sell them we will pack
them up and next season get
S150 for the same goods.
OUR STRONGHOLD.
Many young men are now
contemplating a trip through
the National Park, or taking
their annual vacation. Now
there is no use for you TO spoil
a fine suit, when you can get
a cheaper de that will answer
lust as well. Remember that
we have but a few of our cheap
novelties left. but we do assert
without fear of contradiction
that the $1,000 suits we offer
cannot be duplicated short of
$500 TO $1,000 by our compe-
titors, while we show a suit that
has given more terror TO the
trade and more satisfaction to
the wearer than any article of
commerce for years. When we
name the price and say it is all
wool-wen cut and good
enough for anyone, and sold at
$500, you will say "Oh Pshaw"
but it is the souled solid truth
and if you do not believe 1t
come and look for yourself.
That's all we have to say on
Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1889-11-21
