We have Just completed invoicing.
The result Is very gratifying to us. Not
so much for Its money item value as the
fact that the year just closed has made
for US thousands Of customers, showing
an increase far beyond our most san.
guine expectations. We feel grateful
toward every patron for the part they
have taken in supporting our honest
and successful battle against high prices.
At various times would.be competitors
have tried to mislead the public by as
serting that we could not possibly sell
goods at the prices We advertise. This
persistent display OF jealousy on their
part has materially strengthened us,
and while we appreciate the result Of
their conduct We cannot bat pity the
spirit that prompts such methods. We
fear no competition. We are not afraid
to advertise prices and the reputation Of
our house is a sufficient guarantee that
you will find every article we sell to bs
Just what we say it lie, and at Just the
price we advertise. Victory always in
spires confidence. We therefore enter
the promising year Of 1891 with re-
newed yigor with determination 10

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. = Pending
action Of some kind in the House on
the silver bill, the discussion has subsid-
ed and members ofthe House are await
ing developments. The Coinage Com.
mittee has the key to the situation at
present and the general disposition ia to
give the committee an opportunity TO
show what it means to do before max
ing predictions or outlining the course
TO be pursued In the future. Some
effort is making on tho part of the
gold adheIents 10 have the bill kept 10
committee, but the silver men are san.
guine as to their ability to defeat such a
move. At least two Of the Democratic
members OF the Committee are gold
standard men, and each side shows them
great consideration in the present con.
dition of affairs. With their assistauce
the silver men could order a repor;
made to the House, aud 1t is asserted
that this will bs done without much de-
lay, though it is not contended that
these Democrats will commit themselves
to vote for the bill, but merely that they
will agree to secure consideration for it
The Speaker entertains the same
views as ever on the question OF free
coinage, but there ia reason to believe
that he is not prepared to 20 to the most
extreme measures in order TO prevent
the matter coming up and to bear the
burden of dissatisfaction which would
thereby be created in the silver wing Of
the Republican party.
While it IS impossible to obtain an
authoritative statement from the Presi.
dent in regard to the Senate silver bill,
it is intimated very broadly by gentle.
men who have conversed with him on
the subject that he is very much dis.
satisfied with the measure in It's present
shape, and that he will certainly veto it
unless 1t undergoes material modif
cation before it is submitted to him for
action.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 49,
The question, which seems uppermost
in the minds OF everybody around the
Agency to-day, is whether or not Gen.
Miles will insist upon the complete dis
arming Of the Indians. tits aquesion
to which no answer can be obtained.
This morning it was reported on good
authority that Gen. Miles had ordered
civilians to keep ont Of the hostile camp,
because he intended to disarm the In
dians If he had to shell their camp 10
accomplish his purpose. The General
could not bo seen to substantiate the
statement.
This morning about twenty Indians
came into the Agency under Little
Hawk and surrendered thirty-one guns
some WinChesteIs and some as old as
the flood. The weapons were received
in the name of Gen. AIiles and turned
over to Agent Pierce and tagged with
the owners and chiefs names for safe
keeping.

During the past week news reached Key

only when the vessel was high on the

SAGINAW, Mich, Jan. l6.-A resolu-
ton has been adopted by the Michigan
Salt Association to the effect that the
organization shall cease to exist March

TO the competition in the salt mapufac-
turing business throughout the country
and the extent OF fproduction the associa'
ton has been forced to sell large guam
titles in certain territory at less than the
actual cost Of the manufactured product
depending upon the better market to
make up the price. This action prom
ises to cause a revolution in the trade
throughout the country. A heavy de-
cline Is looked for when the stocks now
in the hands Of the association are dis.

road were prepared for any emergency
and at every station where an operator
quit work another man was waiting to
take his place, so that the telegraphlc
business Of the road suffered
no delay Of any consequence.
1t was not a strike at all, in the usual
sense Of the word. The men rendered
their resi- nations on Wednesday to take
effect OF Z o'clock this morning. ALI ol
those who resigned did not go out fol
some repented and wired headquarters
resembling their designations. In Wis.
corsin not single man stopped work and
more than half Of those who did 80 were
employed on divisions in the State oI
