On one of the hottest of July days
there drove up to the hotel, where half
a dozen breathless guests were vaiuly
endeavoring to keep cool, a buggy in
which sat a long haired, elderly man
and a gayly dressed but rather vulgar
looking young m The buggy
stopped, and the man, after greeting
the company in an engaging and affa-
BILE manner, threw toward them n
handful of dingy printed slips.
One of the more enterprising of the
boarders picked up the slip which
fiuttered near his foot. and discovered
that Professor Diamond and his cele-
brated family would give a concert and
entertainment in the town hall of the
village on the following evening.
Il am Professor Diamond" the
elderly man announced, as soon as he
was satisfied that the reader had discov-
cred what the circulars were about.
This is my oldest daughter, Maria
Now, Maria"
With the word he produced from I'M
der the seat a wheezy accordion, and
began to play Pull for the Shore" In
the most absolutely Indifferent manner,
but with the voice of a calliope, the
young woman began also to sing, and
went through two or three stanzas
without stopping for breath
I'VE generally give folks IA sample, "
tile professor explained, as she con
cluded. Now, how many Of you will
take tickets' My other daughter is a
sight likelier singer than this one is.
Tickets are only fifty cents with re.
served seats"
And out of sheer amusement the
boarders all bought tickets TO the con.
cert thus advertised by sample

Criminal Freaks Throughout
the Country Yesterday.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. l.-Gov-
ernor Hill of New York closed the Demo-
cratic campaign in this state tonight. In
the course of his speech he said this is no
time for deals or bargains with the COM
mon enemy. when the very existence Of
our party is at stake. Put no Democrat on
guard whose Democracy is not above sus-
picion. Those who encourage factional
contests should 20 to the rear IN times o.
public peril like these-when the integri-
tY of the republic is assailed. Corrup-
ton, colonization, intimidation aud false
enumeration are the tactics employed by
the Republicans to bolster up their wan
ing power and crush out the hopes Of
honest Democracy. The governor spoke
of the importance of municipal and coun-
tY elections, saying that every local off
cial exercises influence. The Democratic
cities and counties should have Demo
cratic officials and none other. Their in
luence will tend to spread and perpetuate
our principles and it is folly to shut our
ewes to the importance of this question.
The newly discovered doctrine hat there
should be a non-partissn administration
of local or municipal affairs should not be
accepted unless we are ready to dIsband
local political organizations and rely upon
the courtesy OF our opponents to secure
victories.

The tragedy was over and the Indian
debt of blood for blood discharged. The
Indian mothers, who, we subsequently
learned, when they found their sons must
die, had, bravely as any Spartan woman,
gone into the hills and decorated them
for the fray, and who, more b~rlvely still,
had watched them die, now rushed for
ward and threw themselves upon the
bodies. The women and children flock ed
from the camps across the stream and the
air was filed with lamentations and songs
IN praise of the valor of the dead. Dur
the firing many of the young Cheyenne
bucks who lined the hills had in nncon-
trollable excitement, lcaped from their
ponies and buckled their cartridge belts
ominousiy outside their blankets; but the
Indian police, under the wise direction of
Agent Cooper, did their duty faithfully,
and the results we feared were avoided.
As we rode slowly campward the sun sank
in peace upon the valley OF the Lame
Deer, but upon our minds was left a vivid
image of the dramatic scene it so recently
illumined,

Merely a low price is not an evidence OF
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
cheap clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
ofTrousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
