/ II was a blizzard from Blizzardsville, so
TO speak, when we left Michigan on Feb
ruary f. For week, the sun in her modesty
had hid her face from the sight of man
and in her place and sphere were the
grizzly clouds of fog and sobbing winds
that shifted the weeping fragments of a
dismal, drilling night and misty, damp
rheumatic day. And yet they call this
nice winter weather in Michigan. Well,
we started in this kind of weather
from Michigan, and 70 tell the
truth, we did feel a little weak
about making statements OF autici-
pated warm or pleasant weather
in Kansas But like good hansans we
still had faith in our country and boarded
the train with party Of twenty. We
reached Chicago at : p. m. on late train,
of course, and had TO lay over.
The wind blew gale and it seemed as
if the lake had tipped up and premium
lot of wind was on exhibition. We took a
sample Of II about two minutes and froze
up our lunch baskets. But we caught the
Rock Island lightning catcher, and when
the southern sun rose on US the following
morning il seemed as if we had stepped
out of an ice house into a straw berry
patch, with the strawberries lust
out" But on we came and here
we are translated. transmogriti Il,
thawed out and ready for business,
and if this country is a. good as it looks it
will be "a long time before you get rid of
Us. We are coming to stay and read the

OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:

To OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
 It Is we'll known that we are to have new and modern building upon our present site, with greatly increased store space. The steady growth of our business demands this change We dread the inconvenience made us and our customers while the improvements are being made, but we think this sacrifice will more than be made up to us and our friends when we re turn to our new and beautiful store, second to none in the city, and we ask the indulgence of our friends while we are in transit.
 We have a tremendous stock of goods at the present time, which must be sacrificed to the necessity of the hour We cannot take them to our temporary store as there IS not the room. THE STOCK MUST BE SOLD, and AT ONCE, as the time is short -only thirtyfve days being allowed us to step down and out You will appreciate the necessity of putting such prices on our goods as will MOVE THEM AT ONCE. THIS REMOVAL SALE OF DRY GooDs will be- gin Monday morning at o'clock, promptly, without further warning.

Information Concerning
 Another Probable Outbreak.
 WASHINGTON, March 24.-The war de- pertinent has been gathering authentic in formation as to the probabilities of another outbreak this spring among the Indians of Dakota, and reports made by army officers serving as agents at the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies, are not altogether reas- suring. These officers assert that there need or need not be trouble, just as the government desires. An outbreak can be prevented or, on the other hand, very little will fan the slumbering feelings of the ab- originies into fierce flame. The whole case rests upon the care exercised in the distribution of the appropriations. If the Indians get promptly all that is due, and there is not too much haggling there will be peace. But the moment the government attempts to pinch the Dakota tribes the hitherto friendly 1ndians, who do not feel very complacently over the trips to Washington, will, it is predicted. surely revolt
