Successful Fall Opening.


By reference to the advertisement
of Messrs. Hart, Armbrust & Co., it
will be observed that they are still adj
vertising their fall opening days as the
10th and 18th of the present month
which are past and gone, but not for
gotten, especially by this enterprising
firm, as their sales were unprecedent-
ly large from the time their fall open
ing was announced in our columns up
to the present time, and even now
they are busy as bees selling goods.
No, they are not retrogradiug, but are
forging ahead with the vim character
tic of the different gentlemen compos-
ing the firm. They allowed their adj
vertisement to run as it is because
they had no time to change it, and
besides they thought such a snare
would entrap their customers and
cause them to remain away awhile, so
that .ha firm and their clerks might
get little rest from being overtaxed
in theirSefforts to supply the demands
of their swarms of customers. They
can't be kept back on the contrary,
the rush still continues. Mr.. Hart,
in order to supply demand, has just
made an order for an additional one
thousand dollar stock, to be shipped
Immediately. Ali this rush and stir
and hustle at Messrs. Hart, Armbrust
& Co.'S Bargain Store is because there
the customer finds what he or she
wants in frst-class goods at one price,
which is the lowest, for cash. That's
what.
We would not forget to state that
these gentlemen make specially of
Fine Dress Goods, of which they have
a large and varied stock
George G. Seaver is happy again.
On the 18th inst. his wife presented
him with u pound son and named

Miss Mary Crumley, eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. Crumley, cele-

Profit Is Profit.

The most tnveterats scslper that ever operated in the Chicago grain market is Millionaire Hutchinson A scalpcr, the uninitiated should be told, s trader who jumps in and out with rapid deals, satis- fled with small profits, and making as few losses as possible. Most operators want to double their money, and many stand for long profits. Not so with Hutch His orders to his brokers are to close out as soon as they can show a profit to his credit.
 ''Whst do you mean by a profit, Mir. Hutchinson" inquired young broker the other day, on receiving his irst order from the scalper.
 "Great heavensp' was the reioinder, 'haven't you been here leng enough to know what profit isS'' '-Yes, know what profit is, but I don't know what you consider a satisfactory profit" "A profit, Hutch then explained, ''is profit Any profit should be satisfactory to a man who isn't a hog. Young man, $50 is a proft-yes, S10, or S5, or S1, or even ten cents. And if you can't do any better, one cent is better than nothing at all Go along and fill that order, and be sure that you earn me a profit, no matter how small" The broker said he had been trading on Hutchinson's account for seventeen successive days, filling several small orders each day, and in all that time he had not made a loss. Some times his profits were only sufficient to pay commissions and dollar or two over, but the old man was always satisied-- Chicago Herald.

Sooner or later the world will be com pelled to admit that there are two sides to even the question of woman's dress re- Iorm- The Art Age records the fact that at late dress reform meeting in London, at which Mrs. Oscar Wilde presided, vari- sus forms of Oriental dress with western embellishments were gravely recom- mended for the fashionable European and American women
 Perhaqs it were not wholly unwise for the reformers who would abandon all srt1acial supports and restraints for tke oemale figure to keep in mInd for Occa~ Eonal reference the fact that even the much vaunted Greek beauties when they became ponderous wore primitive corset of flexible wood and withes- The nymphs and gOddesses to whom women are ad- vised to look and leafn what the natural figure is, are al-save, perhaps, our i'm mortal Lady of Milo-under 9 years of age. After that age, if divine youth had ever extended beyond, even a Greek god- dess must have enlarged her contours. Certainly Attic mothers did, for ombOa point is the fate of southern women, how. ever classic their features. The dress re- formers might also read the testimony of Lady Hester Stanhope's physician after years of residence among the hOuris of Syria "People imagine" |" he wrote, ''thas the Oriental woman is a wreck at 5. On the contrary, she is in quite as good con dition as the woman of her own ago in Europe. The cause of her older appear ance is her manner of dress, which does roS conceal the ravages of time on the fS ure. knew a lady of Damascus, mother of seven children, whom long looked upon as mere mass of shapeless flesh Afterward l met her in London, trans formed by European dress into figure which was the envy of one sex, the adni- ration of the other. .''-Detroit Free Press.

Always Some Good in Him.

When Col Albert R. Lamar was editor of The Macon Telegraph some rather unpleasant controversies occurred between him and Henry W. Grady. Nevertheless, Col. Lamar often told me that he greatly admired Grady. The two men had but slight personal ac- quaintance. Once, in the editorial rooms of The Atlanta Constitution, said in Grady's hearing that Col. Lamar was a great lover of horses and horse races. ''WhatF exclaimed Grady, "does Lamar take interest in out of door sports?' 'Oh, yes" replied, land he knows the pedi- gree of every famous race horse the world over." Then" said Grady, ''l shall alter my opinion of him; there's always some good in the man who loves out of door sports. ."-Brunswick (Ga.) Times

The Colonel Tinted.

Ned Grimes wore sad countenance. He was often asked what was the mat ter, but no satisfactory answer was forthcoming. At length an intimate friend obtained the following particulars of him:
 "You know" said Ned, T have been courting Sally W. a long while, and so we had a great notion of getting mar ried, when that darned old Colonel" -
 "Go on, Ned, don't be boy; what about Colonel"-
 "Why, you see, Sally said had better ask him, and so l did. as perlite as 1 howed how"
 "Well, what reply did he maker"
 "Why, he kinder hinted round as if I want wanted there"
 "Well, Ned, let us know what the hints were-what the colonel said to disturb your mind so."
 "Why, he said if he catched me there again he would cowhide me till hadn't an inch of skin left on my back; darn bis old picterp'-New York Ledger.

FREAKS OF NATUR

CENSUS enumerator discovered family of ten children in San Francisco who were all club-footed.
 FRANKLIN, Pa., has child who sleeps every other three days. The case bafles the physicians. The child is in perfect health.
 AN Indiana COW five years old has given birth to eight calves. At three years she gave birth to quadruplets, and the two following years to twins.
 APET doe at the Missouri penitentiary gave birth several days ago to twins. This is said by those who are up in natural history to be of very rare occur renee.
 A MACON (Ga.) man has frying-size chicken with not feather, excepting a few on its wings. The chicken has been featherless ever since it was matched and enjoys perfect health.
 THERE has been discovered in Augusta, Ga., wonderful spring which cures any kind of nausea and other stomach troubles. It's cures are pro- nounced immediate and remarkable.
 A RADIsH is on exhibition at a store in Tennille, Ga, which, with slight de- formity, bears a perfect resemblance to 8 human hand with five fingers. It was grown on the plantation of F. B. Cullins, who died about three weeks ago, and it is said by folks who visited MT. Cullins during his last illness that the radish is a perfect likeness of one of the old mans hands just before he died
 WILLIAM MARTIN has a curiosity in the shape of a gosling at his home in Eoton township, near Tunkhannock, Pa. This little ''farm bird," about month old, has two feet, but one of them is a perfect chickens foot; the other is natural ''wcb" foot, and when placed in the water it goes around much like top. This freak of nature is a new one, and we doubt if there is another like it in existence.
 A FARMER of Switzerland County, In- diana, has on his farm there lamb, which walks on two feet, and in an up- right position. The fore legs are per feet, but the hind ones are only stubs and of little use in walking. So his  just stands up on his fore feet and moves of. He presents a ludicrous appearance while on jaunt about the farm for his morning constitutional, and is withal 8 remarkable freak of nature.
 ONE of natures strange freaks may be seen on . farm, four miles north of Flora, Mo. It is 8 colt, not unlike other colts, except a mark in it's face. Begin ming on line with the lower part of the nostrils and extending to a point just below the eyes, is perfect outline ] of 6 rattlesnake. Its mouth and eyes are perfectly formed. On it's tail seven rattles and button may be distinctly !. seen, and stranger still, the outline of ! the snake is raised, being about as large | ss lead pencil. and not Q hair on it.

WHAT is to be done about our Arizona exhibit to Chicago? Is the question to lay idle till the legislature has convened and closed its session? If so we had better abandon the scheme at once. To commence on an exhibit at the eleventh hour-an exhibit which could be noth- ing but a humilition to our territorial pride would be worst than none at all. And if none at all what reason will be given for this lack of pub lie spirit? As a business proposition Arizona can not afford to let this ex- cellent opportunity to advertise her re- sources pass by. Commissioner Zecken- dorf in a CITIZEN interview outlined the plan of organization in California and made suggestions for the preliminary steps here. Will they be taken. Mayor Maish is the proper person to start ..the fmasheen" going.

Are You Five Feet Eight Inches T.n9

What is there about the figures feet s inches that is so attractive to police men: Did you ever notice a description of drowned man who was not just that tall? Maybe you have, but just notice and see if the vast majority of them do not conform to that rule, and also are reported as wearing congress gaiters. Whether men measuring 5 feet inches high and wearing congress gaiters are more prone to drowning than others, so far as is known. has not been determined, but it certainly is an odd suggestion which comes to the mind of many who constantly watch such cases.-New York Tribune.

This morning Judge Sloan granted the writ of mandam us for the Arivaca votes and the disputed package was brought into court. The decision of Judge Sloan was proper and will be generally upheld. The votes were generally conceded to be in the treasurer's hand-placed there through the irregularjty of the precinct officers of Arivaca. There was no dispo- sition on the part of anyone to throw out the vote. The treasurer, the Board of Supervisors and all concerned simply re- quired that he matter be gone at in business-like and legal manner The principal blame for all the trouble lies with the election officers of Arivaca. In the face of explicit and detailed orders they committed a gross error. Instruct ions were sent Tn the plainest possible manner-one envelope was marked votes and another returns, so there Was no possible excuse. We trust a lesson may be learned from this transaction.

A FORTY TON ROCKER.
The Wonderfully Balaaced Stone Found
 in a Sullivan County Valley.

in Q Sullivan County valley.
 Perhaps one of the most interesting objects in picturesque Sullivan county, New York state, is the Rocking Stone" on the farm of Joseph McLaury, two miles west of the county site, Monticello, on the old Newburg and Cochecton turn pike. In the center of 8 rather demure looking stone wall, of which it Is part, stands rock whose history is as yet un- written, and lies buried with the dead of many generations. The farm within the boundaries of which it rests is in 8 valley at an elevation of some l, 300 feet above the level of the sea, forming in consequence 8 most appropriate pedestal on which to stand.
 At first sight 1t probably would not attract more than passing notice, but it Is when second and closer observa- ton IS made that the wonderful and delicate hand of nature Is seen, both in its composition and smoothly chiseled sides. In size it is nearly 800 cubic feet, shaped very much like an orange, and weighing S0,000 pounds, or forty tons, and so nicely balanced on a table of rock as to be easily set in motion from either the north or south side, yet the combined strength of 8 hundred men, without artificial appliances, could not dislOdge 1t from its present position.
 Its body is composed of 8 loose and soft sandstone. in which are imbedded numberless round and finty pebbles of a diamond like hardness. In all the valley where it is situated it is the only specimen of it's class, around and under it the stones being of an entirely differ ent structure. The table on which 1t yests $ hard stone, nearly as firm and close grained as the blue stone cut from the quarries of Sullivan county. Whercs it migrated or the date of its pilgrimagp-for it is supposed to have been Tod sed there by some volcanic eruption during the Drift period-ies not in the old tradition of the county.
 Some of the adamantine pebbles that cluster thickly on its surface have been ground off and split in two. probably by the tremendous attrition suffered in it's passage. The only relative specimen of its kind in North or South America is in the northern part of Canada. Its sides and corners have also been ground to almost emery ineness by powerful ele- ments.
 It stands alone. a silent monument of departed age, erected by nature to commemorate the mighty forces which have been and are ever working for the improvement of the earth, for the profit and benefit of man.-New York Press.

HE back of the Messiah

THE back of the Messiah craze ap- pears to have been broken. So long as the Indians had to do with women and children there was good deal of bravo When the soldiers appeared the tables turned. That class of aborigines have a more wholesome respect for the smell of powder and the crack of 8 govern ment carbine than all the tracts which can be piled from the Big Horn to Winnepeg. This class of Indians know but one master which is force and they have reason to respect it.

A Willy Cobbler.

A cobbler at Forfar, Scotland, who was an old offender, was sentenced to a fine or imprisonment. To be imprisoned he had to be carried to the jail at Perth. As he had business at Perth he expressed no unwillingness to go. When arrived about to be locked up he offered to pay the fine, which the governor was obliged to take. Then he demanded his fare back to Forfar, which the governor, after hesitating and looking at the law, found that he was obliged to pay. The fare alone amounted to five cents more than the fine imposed. Horn.

THE National Tribune Washington,

THE National Tribune Washington says:
 It couldn't have been ''Tom Reed" be- cause Reeds district sanctioned his course by the biggest majority ever known in the district.
 Nor the Mckinley Bill, because Maj. Mckinley, running in a rock-ribbed Democratic district, which had been gerrymandered against him, came with in 200 of over coming. the 2,500 adverse majority.
 Nor the Force Bill. because Henry Cabot Lodge was one of the survivors of the deluge in Massachusetts.

Russian Peasants Migrating to Siberia

The tide of emigration of the Russian peasantry into Siberia is largely on the in crease. There is no official registration of the numbers; but in 1886 there passed through SyZrani alone 7,5O0, coming from the central provinces. Others in large numbers proceed by sea to the Amoor in the far east. The disturbance of popula- lion Is not limited to a movement beyond the European frontiers, but prevails ac- lively within it
 One hundred thousand colonists have lately migrated to the banks of the Kie- ban, and the Rural bank is assisting many other thousands to establish themselves tn New Russia With the exception of the last there is little or no organization tn any of these movements; the people simply seem iinpelled by impatience of their present lot and blind desire of change, and they go forth not knowing whither they go. Many of them return to their original settlements after a longer or shorter absence, more destitute than they went forth, but far the larger num- Der are never heard of more They ars lost i2 the vastneSs of the sohtudes into which they plunge.
 There is no government organization whatever in many of the places they go to; no information is available before they start as to the best routes, the capabilities of soil or the conditions of cIknats and season If they succeed it is only after enduring unheard of bardships, which might have been spared them if there ex isted department charged with the reg ulation of this great national migration The instances of failure are, it is to be feared, the rule, and when the disaster happens beyond the reach of railways and steamers the world, even of Russia, never hears of them. The state itself is begin ming to suffer directly in its finances from this disorganized shifting of population, as many of the emigrants leave arrears of taxes behind them--LondOn Times.

THERE is no question but what there are thousands of acres of mesa lands in Southern Arizona that is especially ad- apted to the orange, lime, lemon and cit rus fruits in general. The enormous
 profits on these T he surety that they can be placed in the market earlier than the California product is sufficient to turn attention in that di- rectlon. The beauty of the proposition is that it does not require any great in- yestment of capital and an orchard in good bearing is an independent fortune.
