That Their Store Was Not Twice
as Large to Accommodate the
Immense Rush.
.YerXa Bros. & Co. announce to the
public their regret that the largest gro
Gerry store in the West was not many
times as large as it is. that the ava
ianche of humanity might have had
more breathing space at last nights
crushing reception"
When the Seventh street window cur
tain went up last night on the tableau
of Sitting Bull and the Bad Lands, a
shout went UP with it great enough to
awaken the dead warrior fir ON his
last sleep. This was our first intima-
ton that the street was blocked from
curb to curb by vast thrung of anxious,
but good-natured houSekeeperS, eager
for promenade through the inviting
store.
To the thousands unable to get i'll,
and to the thousands unable to get out
when they were in. on account of the
jam, we suggest that the store will re-
main in holiday attire. with added at
fractions. until New Year.
AS heretofore, the lowest of low prices
will prevail for the highest of High
Quality Groceries. Our friends in the
country, who cannot enjoy a. ramble
through Nineteenth Century Grocery
Store, may enjoy, at least. the advantages
of fresh, crisp goods, at the fairest
prices, by addressing us their orders,
which will be filled with alacrity, and
at no expense for boxing or delivering
the same to depOtS.

Honored Local Clerks.

The retail clerks union held a well-at-
tended meeting last evening and initiated
five new members. The delegate to the
American Federation of Labor reported the
organization of National Retail Clerks
Protective association, composed Of fifteen
unions, Samuel Ely, OF Duluth, being elected
national president, and James Morrow, of
ST. Paul. chosen TO the Office of treasurer
The ST. Paul union received many compli-
anents from the delegates representing other
large cities for being the first to bring about
a shortening of the hours among the clerks.
This it is claimed, was an important factor
in bringing about the national union, which
will in the future work Systematically to or
ganize the clerks in all the large cities. The
ST. Paul clerks are highly pleased at the selec
tion of their delegate, MIR. Morrow, to tine
important position of treasurer of the nat
1onal union. Much of the good work that
has been accomplished among the clerks has
been due to his efforts. The local union
meets again Jan. 2. when the officers for the
next term will be elected.
