The growth of our business has been remarkable. The public appreciated our efforts and this fall we open the largest and best light ed Clothing store in Connecticut. In the meantime we are reducing our stock and giving many grand bargains. Come and get them

 KANSAS CrTY, Mo-, Aug. 12.-A mob in vaded the Common Council Chamber here during the day, and had it not been for the fact that the Aldermen made their escape through back door violence would probably have been done.
 The attack WIS the result of proposi- tion before the Council for the purch ase of the Consolidated Electric Light and Power Comp lny's plant for $340,000.
 Rumors of the use of "boodle" were freely indulged in, and public indigna- tion was aroused to high pitch. This culminated in a mass meeting of taxpay- CTS to protest against the purchase.
 The meeting was in charge of John B. Scroggs, leader of the Kansas City bar. Several incorporate speeches were made, and finally MT. Scroggs addressed the crowd from the Court House steps. He denounced in bitter language the pro- posed action of the Council. Finally 8 committee of fifteen was appointed to call at the Council Chamber and present
  pas ed. The crowd by it's own motion joined the committee, and all started for the City Hall.
 Threats of Lynching.
 As the march proceeded the excitement grew until the mutterings of the crowd became loud and bitter, and finally cul- minated in shouts of Lynch themp' and "Hanx themp The crowd had worked itself up to high pitch of indignation when the City Hall was reached.
 In the meantime the Council had been informed of the progress of the mob, and < sty adjournment was taken. The last alderman had barely left when the advance guard of the mob rushed into the chamber, to be disappointed at find ing it emptied. The crowd resolved itself into mass meeting again and more speeches were made. The mayor and Council were stigmatized as towards and thieves. Finally the mob dispersed with out doing any damage.
