Are you interested in Car
pets this SPRING.
Have you bought a house
or are you going to move7-
in either case you are likely to
need new carpets, and you
will be wise to make your Sc
lection early. Our large car
pet rooms present many ad-
vantages to buyers not TO be
found elsewhere plenty of
light, plenty Of stock, plenty of
people to wait on you, and the
prices of carpets were never
lower. OF course your object
is to get suited, and it is of
the utmost importance to go
to that store which can serve
you best. You need to look
around-compare prices, quail
tiles, patterns, assortments,
hear what they all have to say,
then make up your own mind
and buy what you want-but
Iook around first.
If you want a Parlor Carpet
you ought to look at the new
Administer Moquettes, the
most effective, durable and
luxurious parlor carpet made.
Soft and thick, combining ex-
quisite designs with extreme
delicacy of coloring and under
tracery work, the Moquette
easily steps to the front as the
prince of parlor carpets. For
years we have been the only
house that shows a complete
line of these elegant goods.
Therefore you should see ours.
We have sold thousands of
yards without a complaint,
which is proof positive of
their durability and popularity.
Do not be mislead by hear
ing Moquettes will not wear
because they sweep off. The
fuzz or loose wool will, more
or less, sweep off of any new
carpet, but more especially
from Moquette because of its
: thickness. We guarantee any
Moquette Carpet we sell, yet
some vulpine dealers delight
in fairy tales and tell you
"they quit keeping them"
don't give satisfaction
, "look like a cat had licked
them"-"pull out at seems,
etc." but presto-ask such to
tell you how much above other
carpets at the same retail
price they cost him and how
many he has in stock-apply
the deduction and you con.
/. clude there's tricks in all
trades but ours. And it comes
natural for a fellow to run
down what he hasn't. Conse-
quently it all concentrates to
this-7Oe say yes, he says no.

Disturbed Over What IL he.
lievcd to bo Murder.
INDIANAPOLIS, md, May 0.-The mys
terious disappearance OF Abram Cllues,
the well.known real estate dealer, is
causing much comment in business
circles, and the fear is growing that he
has met with foul play When he left his
office week ago to close up a real es-
tate deal in one OF the suburbs he
had considerable money on his per.
son, and it is thought that some one
who knew the condition OF his business
followed him out OF tho city and after
numbering and robbipg him, throw his
body into the river. The stream has
been dragged near all the bridges, but
no clew has been obtained to the MISS
ing man. A woman in Kentucky ave-
nue. saloon, says that q man called there
on Thursday last and got glass OF beer.
Soon after he left she heard two pistol
shots near the river, but paid no atten-
ton to them. Her description Of the
man tallies in every point with Clines,
and bis family are certain that it was he
who got tho glass Of beer.
One Of tho strange things about the
matter Is that the parties with whom
Cliucs was to close up tho dea! for some
properly have not come forward with a
statementas to whether the missing man
called that evening. Clines partner
knew that he had deal on nand, but
no did not know the names OF the parties.
The whole affair is shrouded in mystery
and is exciting great deal Of talk.
