lishment, we want to get rid
of what we have on hand. 1t
will not pay to carry over any
Summer stock. That is what
we mean by the Cut-Rate
Prices we have inaugurated.
Any man with gumption
enough to come in out Of the
rain, can readily see the ne
cesssity of STOCK CLEAR
ING after the turning point
of the season, hence the ne
cessity Of Cutting Prices to
force down accumulations,
broken sets, odds and ends,
and stock in general, in order
to prevent carrying over any
thing bought for this season
We would not have you
believe we are indulging in
the average regulation cry of
ST for IS cents. We are do
ing nothing of the kind, and
if you come to our store ex-
pecting it you will be disap-
pointed. When we make a
printed announcement we
are ready to make good
with acts and deeds all that
we print in words. Our Cut
Price means a GENERAL
REDUCTION in order to
push sales so as to run off
stock on hand before the sea
son closes. 1t means a re-
duCtion in prices in such val
ues that are as staple as the
money in your pocket, and
would cost an even 100 cents
in the dollar to place them in
stock.
come to our store and you
will find we have Let Down
the Bars. We have Opened

has not only been put on a
few cheap articles as leaders,
but you can take the Sum-
mer Line in general. You
will see LOWER PRICES in
this establishment than goods
of equal merit, values and
grade of manufacture can be
bought for anywhere about
here. They were bought
RIGHT from the Jump and
have been sold RIGHT all
along, but now we are go
ing to let them slide a little

est buyer ever dreamed of in
his philosophy. The goods
are popular and the prices
more SO Fine Suits fit for
any man, no matter what
his rank or station, can
be bought to-day for much
less than their actual value,
and the CUT RATE PRICE
SYSTEM will be continued
for the balance of the I'M
expired term of the season
until every piece of Light

been converted into cash, as
carrying over stock from

a Long Island Ghost,

A house on Long Island that long pos
sessed the reputation of being haunted
was rented by a man who had no fear of
ghosts, and who was determined if any
existed there to meet them He sue
ceeded, but the ghosts weren't of the
kind we see represented in pictures. He
heard strange noise late one night and
located it on the roof. Accordingly he
armed himself with clubs and repaired
to the roof. His coming did not cause
the mysterious sounds to cease, and so
he gradually crept along until he came
down on the ghost" 1t was large
vase that was being rocked by the high
winds, causing the unearthly noises. He
pitched the ghost to the ground smash
ing it into thousand pieces and then
returned to bed.-New York Letter.

A gentleman who has given much
thought to the price of coal said to me:
1.-The owners of anthracite coal hope that
when householders return to town in Oc-
tober they will lay in their full supply of
coal for the winter. Now, if household
ers do this, they will simply play into the
hands of the coal barons and make the
price of coal higher. The sensible thing
to do is to purchase from hand to mouth
instead of filling their cellars.
That would result in the large COM
panies being compelled to carry along
great quantities Of coal and would gradu-
ally reduce the price Of this much needed
article. The earnings and the income Of
people nowadays are on the decrease,
and an excellent way to curtail house
hold expenses is to force down the price
of coal to the level it ought to reach."-

In small watering place in western
Prussia rich lady with her daughter,
nineteen years old, hired a cottage for
the whole summer season.
But the two ladies had not been six
weeks in the place when they suddenly
departed. The reason for this. abrupt
ending of their pleasure trip was "a love
affair between the young lady and a
spruce fisherman, which the mother
crushed in the bud With this, how
ever, the story does not end
The inhabitants of the place, fearing
that some more young ladies might fall
in love with the nice fisherman, which
would consequently lead to more abrupt
departures, resolved to prevent such oc-
currences in future.
They held a meeting and decided that
the fisherman should be punished Sc
verely for his imprudence in allowing
himself to be the object of love for
young ladies. A committee took the
culprit to an open place and hogged him
so numerically that the poor fellow had
to lie in bed for several days.-Boston

Chronicle which afterward became the
Cincinnati Gazette Through their in
fuence and that of several business men he
was made superintendent of the Cincinnati
chamber of commerce, retaining that posi-
ton until 1850, when he resigned to devote
himself exclusively to journalism. His
merit and usefulness won him small in
trest in The Gazette, which he added to I'M
til at the consolidation of The Commercial
and Gazette he was the principal owner of
the latter, the chief editorial writer and

style is controlled by the necessity he has
been under as busy man and contributor
to crowded columns of saying and writing
what he wanted to put before the public in

been one of the leading spirits of the Asso-

know him only by sight His manners are
earnest and his perception quick and he
has much of the keen, ready wit of his
