HOARD OF TRADE.
Another Important Meeting OF the
Trustees Last Tight.

Meetings of the Board of Trade were
held Thursday night and last night.
Some matters which it is deemed judicious
to withhold from the public prints for the
present are under consideration and the
sessions were behind closed doors.
Correspondence has been opened with
Union Pacific people looking to an ex-
curslon to Douglas when the Cheyenne &
Northern extension is completed. This
trip to Cheyenne's friend OF the north
was suggested in THE LEADER of the
18th, when this paper also made the ex-
elusive announcement that tracklaying
had commenced.
President Hay has forwarded letters to
the general passenger agent and other
Union Pacific officials.
The Board of Trade needs money and
has decided to enforce the constitu-
ton on delinquents.

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
of Trousers 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
u r~ightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
