We're In It!

On every hand WE hear complaints
of dull times and no trade. Not so
with OUR establishment. We are as
buy as bees not exactly rushed to
death, but we've got our hands full.
We thought we had a big stock of
those Elegant Silk Shirts, but we
were mistaken they are nearly all
gone-only few of the choicest ones
are left. Don't lose your chance.
We were told the other day that
one Of our local concerns had sold
out their entire stock of ladies' hand
some silver buckled carriers. We are
glad of it; but don't forget you
can't make much use of them with
out Handsome Pair of Stockings.
We haven't got any carriers to sell,
but we've got the handsomest lot of
Ladies Hose your eyes ever set on.
Just take a look at the line of Silks
we are showing they'll make your
eye-balls jingle. You can get almost
any color you wish, either plain or
laced. We have SO many different
shades we haven't room to show
them all and if there is any color
you wish that you don't see, just
shout. We've got some cheerful clerks
to wait on you, and if you are not
prepared to buy it don't matter, we
are glad to have you come.
A cold wave seems to have struck
our city, and we are astonished at
the lack Of enterprise displayed by
our great dailies in not discovering
the cause of it before this. Why, a big
iceberg has been humping up against
the northern end of this island for
several days, and from the report
received from our correspondent on
the spot, it's likely to stay there for
some time. To keep you from freez-
ing, and recurrence Of those rheu-
matte pains, we would advise you to
get some of our DR.. Jaeger's SAM
tary Wooden Underwear. They can't
be beat this kind Of weather we've
got 'em in all sizes. You can see a
line of them in our Merchant street
window as you pass along.
While speaking of Underwear, il
may not be amiss to remind you that
we carry a full line of Silk Balbrig
gan and Gauze Underwear, Scriven's
Patent Elastic-seam Drawers, anC
Gents Half-Hose in great variety.

Flower

There is a gentle
Dyspepsia. man at Ma1den-on-
the-Hudson, N. Y,
named Captain A. G. Pareis, who
has written us a letter in which it
is evident that he has made up his
mind concerning some things, and
this is what he says:
" I have used your preparation
called August Flower in my family
for seven Or eight years. It is con-
stantly in my house, and we consider
it the best remedy for Indigestion,
and Constipation we
Indigestion. have ever used or
known. My wife is
troubled with Dyspepsia, and at
times suffers very much after eating.
The August Flower, however, re-
lieves the difficulty. My wife fire.
quently says to me when am going
to town, we are out
Constipation of August Flower,
and I think you had
better get another bottle. I am also
troubledwith Indigestion, ndwhen-
ever I am, I take one or two tea
spoonfuls before eating, for day or
two, and all trouble is removed" o

number of articles of late and sus-
picion fell on the Chinese. Mr..
Newman informed the police yester-
day and a search of the Chinaman's

Mongolian's arrest, but up to a late
hour last evening the culprit had
not been apprehended.
