country ON the face of the earth would
tolerate the many thousands OF armed
savagcs scattered through the different
states and territories. The people OF
Texas, Western Kansas, Nebraska, North

ceiycd here to-day states that Indians are
stealing horses, and robbing houses north

There are some plain speaking clergy

voluntarily. There was an uproar in the
society. but his salary was raised $500.

For the Coinage Committee.
Special 10 the Standard.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Under the rules
Of the house there is no way by which
Reed can put new member on the coin
age committee and secure his election as
chairman. The only thing for him 20 do
is 10 name new man and let the man
who stood next to Conger take the leading
place. The next man is Mr.. Wickham of
Ohio. Wickham voted on June with
Mckinley 10 pass the caucus resolution 10
rush through the caucus silver bill and on
June ! against the motion TO refer the bill
back with instructions 10 the committee
10 report free coinage bill yet the obiec-
ton 10 him is said TO be that he is free
coinage man and therefore one whom it
is Objectionable TO put at the head Of the
committee. The committee on rules is
said to be considering the propriety of
reporting a rule TO enable Reed 10 get
over the difficulty. The trouble will be
that the silver men may be too strong TO
make IL possible 10 get through rule OBJ
noxious to them. The next man to Wick
ham Is Walker of Massachusetts, who is
an anti-silver man, next TO him is Carter.
Reed could do the handsome thing by re-
tiring Nickhan and SO give Carter a
chance to be chairman. The Montana
man would be glad 10 give up the mines
and mining chairmanship for that on
coinage.

SUI IS.

Our sales on suits during the
last week has been enormous,
many of our lines being entirely
gone while others are broken.
We have. however, telegraphed
our eastern buyer and will have
new fresh goods in the beginning
of the week. In the meantime
the broken lines must 90. Our
profits go with them, but we do
not object to that as we must not
carry any odd suits. We have
cut the price of these suits from
20 per cent. TO IS per cent. and if
teat does not sell them We will
give up; but we think it will. In
these lines we have not only the
cheaper class Of goods but some
we were selling at S2z.oo, $4,000
and $1,000. These goods are
now cut to $500, $500 and
$1,000. They are Just as good to
you as though We had a dozen of
them but not 10 us and we are
perfectly willing to sacrifice our
profits in order to make room for
the new goods to arrive.
