Has cheated a big sensation among the BARGAIN HusYERs, and many
have witnessed the greatest reduction in prices Of goods-ever before
offered in Jefferson City. We buy BARGAINS only, and sell BARGAINS to
our customers.
The citizens Of the town and surrounding counry-includug the
'Kngdom Of Galloway" have shown their appreciation of the "DEPART-
MENr Store by their liberal patronage, and our expectations have been
more than satisfied. We ar therefore encouraged to extend our differ
ent departments and take in a larger variety and a much better assert
ment in each line Of goods III order to meet the demands. We have e
goods in transit and arriving every day. Note the prices quoted below
and drop in and ask to see the goods.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER HICKMAN is
in the city in working harness. The
railroad board is now composed of a
practical farmer, Mr.. Hickman q
practical railroad man, Mr.. Hennesy
and a lawyer, Mr.. John Brethett.
This is q strong combination. John
Brethett is a good lawyer and a ne.
cessity to the board and is certain to
be re.nominated if he wants TIE
place. He is one of the most popular
men at the capital and Very strong
politically.

FORGETTING DEAD.

The inhumanity of man to the liv-
ing is exemplihed in his forgetful-
ness Of the dead. And, again, it Is
made manifest in the barbarian nature
of the youth who seeks the defense
less bird as his just object of prey.
But there Is byAind it all a sacrificing

IT has been suggested that Mr..
Dewey be sent out west to fight the
Indians. BY the time he gets through
fighting the high street property
owners it won't be necessary. He will
swear that there are more Indians at
home than abroad and that they are
all "Chiefs."

The New Year is marching on.
1891 will soon be familiar to US all.
Whenever we recall the cyclone of
Nov. 4, 1890, we feel relieved TO know
that so disastrous a year has ceased
10 be with us, and we gladly fly from
the Ills of the past to those we know
moi of.

The open winter is enoughto force
the most skeptical to believe that a
climatic change has come over the
Western hemisphere. 1t may still
fool us, but it is dangerous enough
to discourage the most sanguine ice
man.

ask the legislature to so amend their

The depressed condition Of the
money market for the past year and
the purchase of the Union Pacific
railroad by the Gould interests, has
no doubt had much to do with the
delay in the building of the river
route between this city and Boon
vile. The improved condition of
money matters IN the financial cen
ters is now apparent to every one,
and we hope we see in it a reason for
the speedy construction of this road.
1t will make a division 1t this point,
and hence it is a matter of great i'm
portance to jefferson City.
TIE jefferson City Tribune last
week paid q very high and deserving
compliment to Judge II. A. Swift on
his retirement from the county bench.
The Judge has served in the capac.
ity OF county judge for the past six
years, and we say, without desiring
to fatter him, that he retires from
Office one of the most popular officers
that has ever occupied the county
bench. What stands to his credit
most is the impartial mannerin which
he treated the people residing in the
country districts while elected in the
city district. He has the respect OF
all men regardless of party, and may
well be proud of his record.

THE MINING BOON.


Salt Lake Journal.
The citizens of the United
States have their hobbies and pet
schemes as we'll az other people.
1t Is a. noticeable fact that in every
tweaty years they return to the
subjects that interested them
twenty years before.
Some years it is banking and
railroading that attracts their
money and absorbs their capital.
At another time it is mannfactur-
ing enterprises; at others, agricul-
tural pursuits and stock raising;
and then again they will become
wild on the subjects OF mining and
rush pei, nell for the mining dis
tricts of the west; the young and
the inexperienced to be taken in by
''tenderfoot gold," and the more
level headed to discover that min
ing Is business that requires the
same attention and application OF
strict business principles as Is re-
suired in any other branch OF trade
or profession to make it success.
Twenty years ago mining was
the chef topic Of interest and
object of Investment Hundreds
of locations were made, and many
rich ore bodies discovered. Money
was plenty and times were easy.
An era of prosperity dawned ON
the west to be eelipsed and dark
ened 10y the decentralization OF the
wl.ite metal. A cloud, the size OF
mans hand, appeared in the east
which grew and spread until the
whole sky of our mining interests
was overcast, and the bright Wis
ions of our mining men turned to
the darkest night.
For twenty years the mining
industry carried black eye. While
few properties were worked to
advantage on account OF the ore,
ninety nine out of a hundred were
shut down and abandoned simply
because the government, prompted
by coldltes and bondholders, refus-
cd to recognize the interests OF the
west and the right of silver to hold
its proper ratio with gold.
There has been break, a rift
in the cloud, however, and the
people have awakened from their
lethargy and demanded their rights
and the restoration to the mints OF
the coin of the masses.
Capitalists have tired OF railroad
investments, of manufacturing en-
terprises, and are now seeking safe
Investments in the mines of the
west. They have learned that min
ing. after all, is not wildcat, but
straight out and out business pro-
position that promises large returns
on the money invested; consequent
rush has been precipitated for
The mineral regions in the Rocky
mountains that will exceed any
similar stampede ever ohronieled
by the most ancient historian. AL
ready the prospector, the miner
and investor are swarming to the
mountain fastnesses and every cliff
and canyon throw back the echo of
their shouts, as with pick and SHOW
ell they open up rich lodges of min
eral bearing rock or expose to view
large bodies of gold and silver ore.
They are calling on their friends
and acquaintances to join them IN
their search for hidden treasure,
and every indication goes to prove
that the West is on the verge OF q
mining boom of magnificent pro-
portions.

A Mimic for q Preacher.

One is dazed by such stories as the fol-
lowing from Peignot's "Predicatoriana:"
"A monk, preaching on the Nativity, re-
marked that the cock was the first to an
nounce in the morning the great event by
singing Christ is born, Christ is born,'
'Christus natus est and in repeating the
Latin words the monk initiated the crow
ing of cock. Then continued he, the
OK, inpatient to know where Christ was
born, cried out, Where, where' 'Ubi,
ubi?' and again he initiated with the Latin
the deep low of the OK; to this question of
the OK the preacher said the sheep made
answer, In Bethlehem, in Bethlehem
and SO saying he bleated like a sheep;
finally the ass invited all to repair to the
place by braying out, Let US go, let US go,
let US co. 'Eamus, eamus. eamus;' and it
was in the braying of the ass that the
preacher surpassed himself.'-St. Louis

The Belt Line.

The graders were busily at work yester
day on the portion of the belt line lying be-
tween the Rio Grande and the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas tracks, and will probably
be ready for the track layers this week.
While this grading is on the line of the pro-
posed belt road it is claimed the Rio Grande
is making this connection in order TO get
into the union depot without pulling
through the Texas and Pacific yards.
AT the same time the character of the con-
struction is such and the line located in
such manner that it can very easily be
made part of the belt line. If it was in
tended as d connection merely it would not
be necessary to grade up TO square cross
ing.
This work is what has probably given rise
TO the rumor that the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande would pass under the management
of the Katy next month. While this is
contamination devoutly TO be wished in case
the road goes into the hands Of any trunk
line. in this case the wish is probably
father to the thought
