SEEING is BELIEVING

Our store is becoming more and more
popular day by day, and whyl Simply
because people are sure, sooner or later, to
recognize merit in goods and prices. We
could advertise to sell goods for "one-half
the original cost" but we will not do it for
several reasons, one of them being that the
great purchasing public would know at
once that we were exaggerating. We sim
ply say we are in dead earnest about cell
ing our Overcoats, listers and Refers.
We are not selling them ''for less than
they cost to make" but We are selling
them at a small, and q very small, margin
above the actual cost; we are determined
| not to carry over until next season a single
garment in this line. Do not come to-our
store expecting to find 0vercoats for SOC oil
| S1.00 each. We don't deal in plumber
| nothing but dependable goods on oui
counters, and just now We are giving thu
| legitimate profit to our customers.

Canadian Paper Mill. Combine,

NIAGARA FALLS. N. Y, Dec. A
syndicate of paper makers of Canada
has been formed at Montreal to protect
their interests under the name of the
Strawboard. Wrapping and Building
Manufacturers Association of Canada.
Over twenty mills, representing several
millions of dollars, are interested. This
move was brought about to protect the
Canadian market in the product manu-
factured by the mills. For some time
past the Canadians have been undersold
by American manufacturers, and it is
now said that the former have discov-
cred how this is done. Mill boards are
quoted at under valuation price, and
much OF the duty got rid Of. 1t is said
that the new association will seek to
break it up.

GUARDED BY ARMED MEN.

The Northern Pacific Tracks Patrolled to
Prevent Robberies-
TACOMA, Wash, Dec. because of
the recent hold-up of Pullman car al
Hot Springs and repeated attempts to
work passenger trains the Northern Pa
cific on the Pacific coast division has
stationed armed sentinels and detec.
tives along the road to protect its
property and defend passengers in case
Of attempted robberies. Armed men pa.
troll the tracks, and some of the detectives
have orders to stop any train at any
hour. day or night, in furthering the
company's determination to stamp out
outlawry on its lines in the Northwest.
All suspicious characters are being
shadowed. 1t is believed that train rob-
bers especially have confederates in
other states this side Of the Mississippi
river to whom they ship all stolen prop
erty, and in turn are given credit by
robber managers.

Some Of the Vanderbilt system Engineers
Want More Money.
New YORK, Dec. 2.-The general
grievance committee of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, representing
all the Vanderbilt lines between New
York and Buffalo, and Pittsburg
swooped down upon the Grand Central
station with list of troubles which
they want settled. A conference was
held with Superintendent of Motive
Power Buchanan, who has control OF
matters pertaining 10 the government
Of engineers and firemen. The real
cause OF the trouble is that the engineers
and firemen on the branch lines are not
as well paid as their brethren on the
main line who run the fast trains. The
men will have very good opportunity
at this time to find out what concessions
the Vanderbilt managers are likely to
make, either now or in the future. II
the men on the subordinate lines stand
no show of getting the same wages as
those on the main line, the sooner they
find it out the better. They will, nc
doubt, govern their conduct accordingly.
Superintendent Buchanan, after con.
sulting with his superiors, will give the
men an answer.

An Extra Session May BE Called Previous
to the Regular Opening.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--The belief Is
growing among congressman and SEN
ators in this city that if an extra session
is to be held at all it will not be called
in the early part of the year 1sy2. Even
those favoring an extra session are grad
ually forming the opinion that it will
not begin sooner than Oct. ! next, and
win practically form part of the regu-
lar session, which will open according
to law ON the first Monday In December.
Office holders under the Republican
senate are naturally somewhat anxious
as to the political complexion of that
body in the Fifty.third congress and
some Of them are figuring upon possi-
BILE Republican majority. They are
claiming ~ Democrats and Populists
and As Republicans. More reliable fig-
ures, however, appear to be 43 Demo-
Gratis, Al Republicans and Populists,
who will probably act with the Demo
Gratis.

Some Recommendation as to Screen

Things.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Rathbone
reports the number of new postoffices
established during the past fiscal year
as ALSO. Over one-fourth OF these
new Offices went to Arkansas, Texas,
Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and
North Carolina. The greatest increase
in any state was in Georgia, where it
was 22u Texas was next with Gil, and
Pennsylvania followed with 201 estab-
lishments. At the close of the financial
year there were thirteen states in each
of which there were more than 1000
postoffices In operation. or these Ave
are Northern and eight Southern states.
The Northern states. are New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana,
with an aggregate Of IL, 2SS offices. The
eight Southern states are Alabama,
Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri. North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia, with an aggregate Of
19,9O5. The greatest number In any
one state was 4,S42 in Pennsylvania,
S,565 in New York, and 3,229 In Ohio.
These are the only states where the
number of offices was more than 5000.

yised statutes be so amended as to make

and he recommends that the matter be

eral for the postoffice department, with
the request that he draft law embody-
ing the points outlined above and such
other remedies as are deemed expedient.
The anti-lottery act went into effect
Sept. 10, 1880. In the two years which
have elapsed since that time the lottery
companies have been practically swept
from the country. With similar enact
ment against the green goods swindles

be waged against them will be as effect.

surrounding the financial operations OF
George A. Morse is growing deeper
with every hour. The amount OF the
paper to which he is purported to have
forged his fathers name is also con-
stantly growing. The local financiers
have held several meetings and com
parison Of notes showed total Of
$4,000 OF this paper already in sight,

stantly. 1t has been held in some
quarters that the facts would show that
there were no forgeries, but the local
bankers who are best acquainted with
the facts give no hope that there can be
any such ending. In their opinion the
notes are forgeries. They can see no
chance for any other conclusion. Elisha
Morse, who is in California. has been
sent for, and will probably be on the
scene in two or three days. In the
meantime George Morse will say moth

A PROHIBITION MOVE.

Legislature WIN Probably Pass

The Measure which the South Carolina
Legislature VIII Probably Pass.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Dec. 2.-The Prohi-
bitionists have begun work in earnest,
and the indications are that by next
May the traffic in liquor will be prohib-
tied in South Carolina unless the cold
water advocates oycrreach themselves
and cause disintegration in their forces
by the superlative stringency Of the
provisions they propose. A bill pre-
pared by the state Prohibition executive
committee, one that is said to meet the
views of a majority of the members
has been introduced in the house
Of representatives by Representative
Roper. of Marlboro. 1t is of
great length, and leaves no loophole for
evasion Of the law. It creates all the
necessary machinery for carrying it into
effect. 1t was referred to special COM
mittee consisting of one member from
each county. The manufacture, gift,
sale, barter, trade or exchange of liquor
is made punishable by fine of from $50
to 81 900 and imprisonment in Jail from
one month to one year. The second
offense and all successive offenses will
constitute felony. The governor shall
appoint total abstainer as state COM
missioner who shall purchase liquors to
be furnished to permit holders, to be
sold by them only for medicinal, me-
chanical, scientific and sacramental
purposes. Permit holders who adulter-
ate liquor will be liable to for
felt of go to 500. Permits shall be
applied for to the county commission
ers, and applicants are required to give
bond of $1,000 for carrying out a very
stringent oath as to the sale of liquor.
The liquor shall be sold only to persons
personally known to the permit holders
as persons who are not addicted to the
use Of intoxicants. Full prQyisiop is
made for recording and counter-record-
ing all granting of permits, sales of
liquor, etc. All places where liquors
are sold are declared public nuisances,
and officers are designated whose duty
it shall be to abate them.
