The sun. [volume] (Morris, Stevens County, Minn.) 1882-1895, 1892-02-18

It is interesting to see two or more
talking politics for the coming spring
election. We are not in politics, but
we are in the hat business, and if
there should happen to be any wagers
of new hats made on the result, we
desire to furnish the hats. We are
in a position to fit 500 heads with new
and stylish hats. A better hat for
less money than ever.

ELI AND THE RAIN.

He Says a Good Many Funny Things in
Spite OF 1t.
Melvin D. Landon, better known as Eli
Perkins, lectured at the Young Mems
Christian Association gymnasium hall last
night. There seems to be sort OF fatality
about Young Mems Christian Association
entertainments. at least SO far as the weather
Is concerned. On nearly every night the
association has given an entertainment this
season it has rained, 30 that there may not
be any special connection between Eli aud
tho rain. There might have been suspi-
cion In that direction had the rain only
fallen on the night of his lecture, but it did
not. IL rained during the last concert of
the New York Stars and during one or two
preceding entertainments
The rain did not interfere, however with
what Eli had TO say. He said it just the
same as II it had not rained. The audience
was not a large one, but it enjoyed the
lecture. 1t was the first time Mr.. Landon
had been heard in Savannah and his say
ings. although they were familiar to some
OF the audience through having been read
in the newspapers, yet the fact that they
were said by Eli Perkins made them inter-
esting and as good almost as new jokes.
Mr.. LAndon was warmly received. His
lecture was bright throughout, with the
sort of wit that Eli Perkins is noted for.
Had the lecture been on any other night
than Saturday. and the weather been
pleasant, the audience would have been a
much larger one

BELIEVED TO BE A MURDERER.
Bob Gibbs, Alias Joe Small, of Darier
Arrested by DeJecCive Morgan.

Bob Gibbs, Alias Joe Small, of Darien,
Arrested by Detective Morgan.
Detective H. NJ. Morgan arrested negro
in Yamacraw last night who is believed to
be wanted in Darien for murder. The ne
gro gave his name at the police barracks as
Joe Small. but he is believed TO be Bob
Gibbs, who shot a man in Darien short
time ago. Letters found on his person show
without much doubt that he is Gibbs. He
was arrested at Ann and Zubly streets, near
Golden's saloon, by Detective Morgan, as
sisted by Officer Harmon w aters.
Gibbs, or Small, as he gave his name to
the police, was unarmed except for q pocket
knife. He had pawned new Smith &
Wesson revolver a short time before, else
he would beyond doubt have made a des-
perate resistance, as he is known to be a
desperate character.
Gibbs refused to talk. He claims to have
come from Charleston aud to have been in
the city four weeks. The letters he had
show that he Is from Darien and that he
has been in some sort of trouble there. De-
tective Morgan lodged him in the barracks
for safe keeping and notified Solicitor Gen
eral Fraser, who telegraphed the sheriff of
Mcintosh county the fact of the arrest and
fnquiring as to the crime for which Gibbs
is wanted. II he is the party the officers
think he is he will be turned over to the
Mcintosh county authorities.

The Gut Down 10 Rates By the hail-

The order Of the railroad commission,

MORNING NEWS. is the first order Of the
kind issued by the commission under the
bin passed by the last legislature. placing
the regulation OF telegraph and express
rates under the control of the commission.
TIE order was small and uBimportant

liberty Of the telegraph lines in one direc-

between all points within the state. The
order is effective Feb. l.

the state to IS cents, and 2 cents for each

While the majority of the 10-word mes
saRes sent from the Savannah and other
large offices are charged for at the rate Of
Is cents, a great many messages are charged
for at the rate Of 40 cents for ten words.
The charge from Savannah TO all points
beyond Augusta or Atlanta is 40 cents for
a l0-word message.
In all the small towns in the state,
the charge to all the points beyond
the nearest city on either side Of it is 40
cents. There is no particular reason for
this extra charge to certain points, as no
more work Is involved in sending message
to one of the smaller stations than to At

bitrary, and is fixed by rate committee.

for the Western Union Telegraph Company

An Attempt to Burn "a Tenement on
Maple Street.
There was strange fire at No. 81 Maple
street last night about o'clock. Parties on
the opposite side Of the street saw smoke
issuing from the house. No one was at home
and the door was burst open with an ak.
The smoke rushed out in volume. An
alarm was turned in from box 90, st West
Broad and Hall streets, but by the time the
firemen reached the scene the fire had been
nearly extinguished with bucketfuls of
water, as 1t was not necessary to turn on the
stream.
The strange thing about the fire was that
every bed in tho house was found in "a blaze.
There were three beds in three separate
rooms and each one OF them was burning.
The fire was easily haudled after throwing
out the mattresses.
The occupants of the house, a colored
family named Brown, we're downtown at
the market. 1t was very evident that some
one had entered the house during their alb
sence and set fire to the beds with the inten-
ton of destroying the house with Its cons
tents.
The furniture was all ruined or badly
damaged. The damage 60 the house is small.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

How Money Can Be Made and Saw ed.
It's Said Figures Never Lie, and
They Don't.
II we could live without eating, and
were allowed to adorn ourselves after the
manner of our remotest ancestors, we could
all accumulate. doubtless, a barrel of money.
But tUe can't. A witty writer says that
mans most economical mode Of existence
is Sin bed;" as the moment you get up e5c-
penseS begin. Too true, too true. Ex-
penses are an unavoidable quantity, and
must be met and disposed of. Expenses can
be reduced or curtailed in some instances.
In OUR case they cannot be decreased. but
they can be spread over larger surface, or
In other words, like common taxes, more
people can be induced to share the burden
and thus tighten the personal onuS. That
Is why we claim to and DO sell our cloth
ing cheaper than any other house possibly
can because our trade is SO very large that
we have a large surface over which TO
spread expenses, making the individual
proportion very light. A house that sells a
thousand suits in a given period can work
on a smaller margin of profit than one that
disposes Of only a hundred in the same
time. Take GUS your pencil and figure for
yourself If you think our figures are porous
You may clearly deduce from our PROPOSE
ton that the house having the largest pat
ronage certainly has some basis for low
prices.
There is no mystery about our ability to
mark our goods at as low prices as they can
be obtained for GnylUhere else and then
allow discount Of 20 per cent. besides, for
cash. In the first place, even were we to
sell at actual cost. it would be good business
policy to get rid OF goods not adapted to
summer lCeather. Winter goods must be
sold in winter. Again, it pays us 20 turn
goods into cash quickly, because profiting
by experience. that cash can be put at more
profitable work, and lastly, our ability to
buy largely plays very important part in
our trade. Goods well bought are half
sold" is solid truth, not poetry. Our big
ad on the fifth page this morning may sug
gest some profitable employment to you for
the coming week. We should like you to
see our figures. We don't object to your
comparing them with anybody else's fig
ures; we rather approve OF It. We have
great confidence in our otO1s mathematical
efforts B. Fl. LEVY & Bro.

Here is one. e n
For many years there has been gradual

During the past season there has been

fact that
Logan did it,
In the display Of mutton, ID is acknowl-
edged that Logan always has the best.
Besides this
He made special arrangements to have the
finest pork in the country constantly
shipped to him.
"Logan's veal" is patent household phrase
which delights the cook everywhere.
There is no necessity to call attention TO
the large and excellent line of western
turkeys, ducks and geese which arrives to
Logan daily.
The largely increased trade during the
holidays has demonstrated how the public
have appreciated the untiring efforts of H.
Logan to give them the finest line OF these
goods In the country.
To see the crowds of customers who con-
gregated at stalls "a and 6S yesterday was
interesting. The fully equipped business is
attractive in itself.
A fine line of everything.

Hourly trips of the wagons delivering the

The proper thing for every one to do is to

butcher, who is always ready to serve
them. The best trade ia the city go there
for their supplies. and from appearances
