KAUFMANNS'
MERCHANT TAILORING DEPARTM'7

This branch of our b usiness, as
old as our house itself, is continually
adding to its list of patrons. Its order
books contain the names of thousands
of economical and fastidious dressers,
many of whom have been patronizing
us for nearly quarter of a century.
This is a record of which we are
justly proud, but, instead of resting
on our laurels, it but tends to spur
us on to outdo our best efforts of the
past. And we are doing it. Our
present assortment of Fall and Win
ter piece goods exceeds in variety,
excels in quality, eclipses in style and
surpasses in low prices all our previ-
GUS attempts in this direction. In
the words of Prior:
"E1ceLin0 others, these ,oere great;
Thou, greater still, must these erceL"
This quotation but fairly expresses
the standard of advance and i'm
provement so characteristic of all our
departments-of none more than of
the Merchant Tailoring business.
By dint of persistent study and
careful attention to details we have
mustered the truly difficult task of
fitting the human form as perfectly as
perfection can be. We have nothing
in common with the many 'sCheap
John" or "Old Fogy" custom tailors
whose dingy shops indicate the kind
of work they turn out. Why, our
fine grades of Ready-Made Garments
are far superior to the productions of
these tailors. The garments WE
make to order are Unjust be) nothing
short of the best and finest that can be !

M'CURDY SHOWING UP.
TWO NEW GUSHERS DEVELOPED IN
THAT TERRITORY.

The Wetmore Well Drilled and Increased
Nothing of Consequence at Mcdonald
Decline in the General Production Of
Nearly Six Thousand Barrels.
There was decided falling off in the pro-
duction of the Mcdonald field within the
last two DAYS. On Friday it was nearly
$4,000, Saturday 81, 500 and Sunday it was
only 10000. 1t is rapidly falling off, and
unless some new gushers come in there will
be very noticeable change in the general
output There was very little news from
accidents in the Mcdonald field to more
than make up for the lack of wells completed
The boiler of the Liberty Oil Company, on
the Descamp lot, in the eastern end Of the
borough of Mcdonald, exploded. The dome
sailed 25 feet through the air and killed a
boy about 10 years of age in a house occupied
by two Belgian families. The boy killed was
John Kenneth, ana another was seriously in
jured, how badly the physicians were unable
to state.
Many People in the House.
1t was stated at the time that 20 people
were in the house. which was made of brick.
Soon after the boiler explosion a gravel train
ran over two men on the Panhandle Rail-
road, nearly opposite to the place
where the first accident occurred. No
wells of any Importance were reported
from the Mcdonald field, although there are
r. number which should reach the pay streak
in the fifth sand to-day or tomorrow. Among
these are two of the Devonian Oil Com
pany's, one of Hays & Gartlands, one of
Greenlee & Forst's, and one of the Peoples
Gas Company's. There are several wells in
the eastern part of the borough which are
due in the Gordon sand. They are expected
10 be big wells in this formation. but even If
they should prove failures it would not be
as the Gordon sand belt has not
yet been defined.

lady deaf, the male passenger made
pretense of lighting his cigar.
"Do it if you dare" exclaimed Ma
lame Potin, with an unearthly CLEAN

Just to see what1l happen, here
yoes!" he said, stung by the lady's
:one. And he applied the match.
The lady bounced from the seat, and,
,natching the cigar from his lips, threw
it out the window.
"There is compartment for smok

The gentleman, quite taken back,
thought it best to be quiet, while
secretly bemoaning his lost havana.
Five minutes silence. Madame Potin
flushed with her triumph. Suddenly
The lady's muff appeared instinct with
life, and presently little poodle put out
his head to take breath of air. The
gentleman arose, smiling affably, seized

dropped it out of the carriage window,

MANY Miners Killed.

An explosion occurred in the Spring Hill
coal mines. Nova Scotia, and the loss of life
is appalling. 1t is now feared that 125 men
and boys are dead. One hundred and sew
enteen bodies have been recovered. and a
great many horses have been killed. Miners
who have come up say that the levels are
blocked in the locality of the explosion
with large piles of debris, consisting mainly
of timber knocked out by the terrible force
of the explosion, which was felt above
grSund. To add to the horror of the situa-
ton, the deadly black damp has made its
appearance in the mine, making the work
of rescue impossible.

two fine large German carp on sale in
Duluth. Struck with their appearan ce,
and thinking to please his friend the
Doctor, he purchased one and sent it
to him with the compliments Of the
season. OF course tho Doctor was
pleased with the gift and ordered it
tabled. You can imagine the aston

find within a silk-lned case containing
large meerschaum pipe and cigar

a genuine carp, imported from Ger

Maxims of TaIlevrand.

THE love of glory can only create a
hero; the contempt of it creates a great
nan.
THEoLOGIANs resemble dogs, that
gnaw large bones for the sake Of very
little meat.
A RICH man despises those who fatter
him too much and hates those who do
lot 1atter him at ali.
LIFE, to q young man, is like a new
acquaintance, of whom he grows dis
;usted as he advances in years.
THERE are two things to which we
never grow accustomed-the ravages of
line and the injustice of our fellowmen.
BOTH erudition and agriculture ought
10 be encouraged by government; wit
md manufactures will come of them
elves.
THE reputation of man is like his
hadow-gigantic when it precedes him,
md pigmy in its proportions when it,
olows.
THE errors of great men and the good
leeds of reprobates should not be reck Il
med in our estimates of their respective
characters.

IsIeached Dried Fruit.

There was sort of craze some years
ago for bleached dried apples and other
dried fruit. The uniform whiteness of
the bleached fruit pleased the eye, and
people did rot stop to question how it
was produced nor what was its effect
on the quality of the fruit. In fact the
flavor was very much impaired and it
was soon found that the bleaching
process left a dangerous poison in the
fruit. German authorities forbade the
importation of American bleached
dried fruit unless it was tested by a
chemist and found harmless. It is not
only safer to avoid all bleached dried
fruit. but it is better on all accounts.
as the natural fruit retains it's full
favor. Good Housekeeping.

DEATH IN A TUNNEL.
Awful Railroad Collision and Fire at New
York City.

One of the most horrible collisions of the
year occurred in the Fourth avenue tunnel,
New York City. The wreck caught fire i'm
mediately afterward and how many per-
ished is impossible to conjecture. Tt is be-
1ieved at least dozen persons were killed.
The train was the New Haven regular local
passenger and it was run into in the tunnel
shortly afterward by q yard engine at
tached to several cars. The crash was
something terrific, and both trains were
completely wrecked The cars of the pas
senger train immediately caught fire from
an overturned stove, lighting up the scene
of the wreck and making the work of de-
structiOn still more horrible. Two alarms
of fire and calls for ambulances were i'm
mediately sent out and physicians from
BelIvue and Harlem hospitals, accom-
panied by several fire engines, were soon
on the spot.

court commissioners. assignees trustees,
and receivers by a close vote. Join resolu-
lions were passed in memory of Admiral
Porter.
The only important business of the Legis-
lature, on the 10th, was the passage of a
Joint resolution opposing the unlimited
coinage of silver. The Assembly child
labor bill, forbidding the employment of
children under Ii years in factories. was
amended by making the age IA and the bill
was passed to its third reading. Major
George NJ Barbour, OF the depart
ment of publicity and promotion of the
Worlds Fair, was before the two House
Committees on State Affairs, urging an APP
preparation of S150,000 for an exhibit from
Wisconsin Major Barbour urged the APP
preparation because of the influence it
would exert on States which have not yet
made appropriations. The nearness Of Wis
consin to Illinois was also set up as an ar
sument. The committee seemed TO favor
she appropriation and Governor Peck has
expressed a willingness to sign a bill giving
this amount.
THE sessions of the Legislature ON the
Goth were tame. Adjournment was taken
lnti1 the 25th. Senator CIauson introduced
resolutiO thanking the Wisconsin dele
cation in Congress for voting against the
free coinage bill. Mr. Keogh introduced
resolutions in the Assembly instructing the
Adjutant General to order salute of 100
guns on Washington's birthday. 1t was
adopted A bill amending the charter of
the city of Milwaukee so as to permit the
