THE END IS NEAR.

In three weeks more the stupendous reduction sale
Of reliable Mems, Boys and Childrens Clothing will
end.
OF course our stock grows no larger. While our
sales during the progress of this forced reduction have
been extremely large, we have still fair assortment
left
We had every reason to expect it. The public have
taken advantage Of the opportunity The question of
to-day is not prce--THAT has been settled. The cut
has been too deep for argument.
'Can we fit you? "Have we your size left ?"
Those the only questions that need trouble you.

the chances pretty that still suit YOU
AS we have already said it will cost you nothing to

including the elevated roads.

The Cincinnati Times-Star makes the
following statement, but gives no facts or
figures to support it: "On the face of the
returns the women of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, in tho fight for representation
on the floor of the General Conference,
have won. DR.. Buckley, who has fought
them from the beginning, is apparently
badly beaten. Of course there will be no
jugglery. No back deestricts' can come
in now and change the result. The clergy
in annual conferences have yet to vote on
the question, and the General Conference
is yet to pass final judgment. 1t will be q
great surprise if those two tribunals fail to
ratify the voice of the Church. To op-
pose the plan of woman representation
now is only to delay what is Inevitable
DR.. Buckley and his coworkers are not
likely much longer to escape measure
ment of mental strength with able women
in the spirited debates of the Church"

Eae Crop Report.

The crop report for the week ending
September 12 is as follows: The condi-
ton of all crops continues to be most
favorable. The warm weather Of the
week, and the absence of rain until the
last day, have caused corn, tomatoes,
melons and other crops to mature rapidly.
In many sections the cutting Of corn has
commenced. Favorable reports continue
regarding the potato crop, and the indica-
tions are that the yield will be larger and
the quality better than for many previous
years. The price per bushel has advanced
ten points over that of last week. The
late crops, buekwheat, turnips, and celery,
are in fine growing condition. Pasture is
reported to be excellent in all the districts.
Professor Halsted has received several
complaints of a trouble with the eggplant.
From the specimens that have been sent
to the station it is evident that the failure
of the crop in many localities, or the dying
of certain plants in a field, is due to a
minute fungus not very unlike the grape
rot. BY spraying the young plants early
in the season, once or twice before they
are out of the hot-bed and occasionally
afterward, this serious trouble may be
avoided. Of eouse, some other crop should
be grown next season where the elephants
are situated this year.
