HE NEW STORE,
wabasha, Fourth and Fifth Streets.

In many respects the
Holiday trade of the season
just past has been the most
satisfactory of any within
our recollection. The sales
have far surpassed our ex-
pectations, and it was all
done in a quiet, Legitimate
and respectable way. We
sold good merchandise, lots
of it, at a reasonable profit,
and never even attempted
to delude the buying pub
lie into the belief that we
were selling our wares at
half-cOst or less.

BLANKETS.

Two or three weeks ago
we bought a large quantity
of Blankets at very consid-
cradle reductions from the
prices which prevailed early
in the season. That's a
good deal better than hay

and marking it down in
order to sell it. Consider

purchases, we can safely
guarantee our prices to be
the lowest in town for
Blankets of equal quality.

IN NEW ORLEANS.

Roses. Violets. Jasmines and
Chrysanthemums all in Bloom.
New Orleans Times Democrat
1t requires pilgrimage through the
residence portion of the city to make
the visitor appreciate November in New
Orleans. All along st. Charles avenue,
Prytania street, Jackson avenue and
throughout the garden district the
lawns and gardens present an almost
uninterrupted wilderness of flowers
in full bloom. And there is a
peculiar quality of profusion in
the bloom of these Southern shrubs.
Everywhere one sees blossoms cleaning
here and there through great banks of
verdure, but here the great leaves only
furnish q slender framework for the
richest and brightest blossoms. Against
a cleaning white wall as background,
one sees arches and festoons of crimson,
pink. white and yellow roses, bound to-
gether with only slender. thread of
green that is barely traceable and
almost lost in the wealth of dainty bios
SONS with which it is laden. The lawns
are literally spdngled with violets, roses,
chrySanthemums. dahiias, pansies and
flowers of almost every variety, the
fresh verdure of the grass framing in
ana filling the background of floral
picture of SURPRISING loveliness.
Climbing roses and jasmines Irvine
their perfume-breathlng chains over the
cold gray of dead walls aud light up
weather-Stained gables. Sweet odors
are borne OH every Grant breeze. 1t is
like a northern sprlngtime; but. in
stead Of that chilly breath that comes of
half-thawed ice and snow, the air has
soft, balny quality that has freshness,
but not a trace of chiilinesS in it.
Throughout the garden district the
low, open palingS reveal dainty flower
gardens in richest bloom, but down
town the close wooden walls leave only
the trees and the larger of the towering
shrubs in view. Though the rarest
wealth OF flowers is hidden from view,
great spreading domes of pink, white
and purple blossoms rise above the
walls, and here and there amid the
great heaying waves of giistening
leaves in deepest green are to be seen
clusters of ripe oranges that glitter in
the sunlight like globes of FURNISHED

HENRIElTAS.

Midwinter sale of Black
Silk Warp Henriettas. This
special sale was begun sew
eral weeks ago, but owing
to the press Of the general
business it has not had our
fullest attention. For the
next few days Black Hen
riettas will be our chief at
traction.
We've said it again and
again, but it will bear re-
peating. They're the best
Black Silk Warp Henriettas
in the world, without any
exception. Best for looks
and best for wear. The
latter qualification is what
most interests the buyer.
They'll look better after a
years hard wear than most
Henriettas when new.
They are the only Henri
ettas we know of that are
WARRANTED to wear and
give satisfaction.
Why do we reduce the
price on them? Simply
because there's a little lull
in the demand for Dress
Goods at this time. In two
or three weeks we'll have
new wash fabrics and other
new goods that will make
business lively without a
stimulant of this kind.
Regular prices will then be
established.

Judge John j. Mediation, of Butte,
Mont, breakfasted at the Merchants
yesterday morning and left for the
West Oh the afternoon train. Judge
Mediation is the gentleman who figured
so extensively in the famous Silver
Bow contest year ago. He lisa bright
looking man with lots of determination
written all over his handsome counte-
nance, and it was this latter quality
which won him seat on the bench
when two Republican senators were
sent to Washington by the votes OF men
who were no more elected than Judge
McHatton's opponent. After taking his
seat, and holding it for time. Judge
Mediation and his rival both resigned.
and Gov. TOole at once appointed Judge
Mediation. and he was again elected at
the late election.

The Pe.sion Commissioners Troubles.

One woman in the best faith addresses the commissioner and asks that he see that the school house in her neighborhood be established in the center of the dis trict. Another informs him that her husband has long been absent. She has wandered over the face of the country in search of him, and she would now like to have him take up the search. Many such cases occur. Letters containing souvenirs dear to the senders, but utterly valueless to any one else, are received; letters of advice detailing whole pension schemes to be substituted for the present system of laws; letters of extravagant commenda- tion, of censure, of anger, of contempt, of wrath, of unmitigable hostility; letters of insane writers threatening vileness and violence; letters excited by the granting of pensions and asking benisonS upon the heads of all concerned; letters of bitterest reptoach for pensions denied, calling down the wrath of God and men upon those who have been trying to do their simple duty-all these and multitudes of others, fantastic, sober, rational and wild, pour by the hundreds and thousands into the mail of the bureau; and from the charity and patience which forbears to respond, and the sense of duty which compels the neglect of idle inquiries, arise many of the complaints and denunciations of the office for it's alleged neglect.

Fixing Up the Passes.

When the interstate commerce bill went into effect, by the way, it was supposed that free passes would be everywhere abolished. The railroad passenger agents and managers so announced with flour ish of trumpets. But where a railroad man wills he still finds a way. As an il- lustration, may mention the case of a friend who applied recently for a pass over a trunk line to western city, scarcely expecting to get it, yet being compelled by his circumstances, and feel ing that for indirect services long ago rendered he was entitled to transporta- tion.
 He was told that he could only get q pass within the lines of the state in which the main line of the system is incorpo- rated, or between any two points within the boundaries of single state. Cant you fix me up for all the states in that way" he asked, except between the sta tions when you eros the state lines, aud let me pay for that distance to the con- ductor?" The man of passes smiled good naturedly as he said: Yes, l might, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I know you are entitled to the consideration, and I'll just engage you in my travelling advertising corps for couple of days. You shall have your travelling expenses for your services. Here are the passes" A wink and pleasant nod accompanied the de- livery of the bits of paper, which had meanwhile been filled up, and my friend came away wiser and happy.-New York Tribune.

Grit as Well as Pluck.

It is desirable that we should have grit as well as pluck-a power to endure, re- sist, take the blows and still persist and press forward. Pluck is the quality of pitching in; grit is the quality of not backing out. Now, we do not expect every one to have both grit and pluck; but every one ought to have one or the other; and so the community, or the so- ciety, or, as we have habit of saying, the commonwealth, shall have both. am inclined to think that, personally, I am decidedly lacking in pluck. I am a natural coward. have the pluck simply to own up my plucklessness. When you set before me new enterprise, I am always afraid to embark in it. But once in, have grit. l can stick to a job of work; and when l fight 1 always intend to win. But wish 1 were also plucky. Do we not generally admire what we have not, and rather depreciate what we have?
 l admire pluck, and don't know whether I admire grit or not. have little friend who is a little over four feet tall, and he has little head and little features, but he bristles up at touch, or a word, or an imagination. If he fancies a slight, ill a moment he snarls, and jumps, and shows he isn't afraid of all creation. So he is not. He is brimful of pluck. But he lacks grit. He pitches in and then sneaks out. Of two generals you will be sure to find one good at an assault, the other good at siege. Sometimes one is most useful, sometimes the other.-M. Mau- rice, NJ. D., ill Globe-Democrat.

The Wells of Andalusia.

In Andalusia the norias or Moorish wells are sure to catch your eye. They are worth examining by the curious in such matters; the construction is very simple,
 but they do effective work. A broad wheel is turned round by an old mule, who is past other work, and attached to this wheel are earthen jars; as it revolves the empty jars pass into the water and como up full, then as they turn over they empty their contents into reservoir, whence a trough or aqueduct of some simple kind provides for household use,
 conveys the rest of the water into the fruit or vegetable garden and irrigates it by means of channels dug in rows in the earth. For drinking purposes the water is generally caught from the jars, for tho Spaniards, though they like their fish ''high" and their oil and bacon rancid, are very particular about the quality of their water, and are willing to buy it from the carriers who often fetch it from long dis tances if that near at hand has an evil reputation.-Cor San Francisco Chronicle.

A Failure for Bismarck.

Scoro one failure for Bismarck. The establishment of colonies, apropos of which he displayed such enthusiasm a few years ago, and for which he nearly precipitated @ war with Spain, is ac- knowledged by his official organs to be an utter failure. Prince BismarclI's purpose was to divert the stream of emigrants from the United States to some land or lands where they would continue to be German in speech, tastes and habits, in stead of becoming speedily unrecogniza- ble as of German origin. This he pro- posed to do by means of his agricultural colonies" in Africa and his plantation colonies" in the South Pacific Islands. For all the money expended in the effort not kreutzer has been received in profit, and the colony craze is to be abandoned.- Once Week.

The Newsboys of Mexico.

Our contemporaries are making many suggestions as to the material of which the clothes of the newsboys should be made. Some think leather suits would be advisable in view of the short time the striped suits presented by the city gov ernment lasted, while others urge tin as the best material This discussion en- ables newspaper men to air their wit, but it really seems unnecessary. The city government presented given number of newsboys with uniforms, with the under standing that the boys would replace them at their own expense when worn out. Those suits have long since served their time and been discarded, and not q single one has been replaced by its owner. Unless the city government intends to clothe outright the urchins who sell papers in the streets, our contemporaries are wasting their time in discussing the kind of material that should be used for their uniforms, for there is no legal way of compelling the boys to buy the clothes that may be designated as proper for them by the authorities. To deprive @ boy of the right to earn an honest living because he cannot or will not dress in prescribed manner is not practicable in free coun- try.-Mexico Two Republics.
