1t is a conservative state
ment that the offering Of Two
Thousand Women's Wraps,
Refers, Coats and Jackets at
one-third prices was unprece-
dented. We never accom-
plished such an operation be-
fore-nor do we expect to
again.
The forms and finish, quail
ties and elegance, combine
all the latest touches of Paris
and Berlin taste in original
foreign productions-not imi-
tations. Retail buyers never
saw the garments before Sat
urday-they were new. The
prices were not reduced for
the offering was at one-third
value-SlS for SO, $3.50 for
$50. -Four days and two
heavy storms since they came
to the counters, but the buy
ing has gone steadily on. The
best taste Of the city has been
satisfied with the goods-it is
an occasion for pride.
Skeptical incredulity con-
corning this offering is natural
perhaps, but powerless to i'm
pugn the facts.

SHEJUarPED FROM THE TEAM.
A Woman Seriously Injured and Clergy
mnn in Very Awkward Situation.


LONDON, Jan. 12.--A most sensational
incident occurred last night near Tam
worth, town which lies in the coun-
ties of Stafford and Warwick, which has
resulted in Il minister of the gospel being
placed in a very serious predicament.
Asa train on one of the railways entering
Tamworlh was nearing tho town a
woman, who was afterwards found TO
be Mrs. Siddals, was seen standing on
the foot-board ON one Of tho carriages.
She appeared 10 be wildly excited, and
while she chung with one hand 10 the
rail attached to the car she gesticulatcd
with the other in manner that was
taken by the observers TO mean that she
desired assistance.
OF course il was impossible for the
persons who saw her 10 render her any
aid as the train dashed along, and from
her position 1t was impossible for the
engineer OF the guards to see her.
JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.
Before the train had proceeded far the
woman, who had evidently lost all con-
troll of herself, was seen TO jump from
the foot-board. She was hurled TO the
ground with terrific violence, and when
the persons who had seen her rash act
reached the spot il was found that she
was very seriously injured, Assistance
was Immediately summoned and the
woman was removed to u hospital. She
was unconscious and the physicians
who have examined her say they believe
she is dying. The police were at once
informed of the occurrence and an in
vestigation was at once set on loot. 1t
was soon discovered that the compart-
ment of the railway carriage which Mrs.
Sddals had occupied had also been oc
cupied by Rev. Mr.. Goodall, local
preacher.
Of course no Information as to the
causes which led to her jumping from
the train can be gathered from Mrs.
Siddals, but the police have reason to
believe that the preacher, upon finding
himself in the compartment with Mrs.
Siddals, took advantage Of her unpro-
tected position and made indecent pro-
posals TO her.
THE CLERGYMAN ARRESTED.
Finding himself rcpulscd, it is sup
posed the preacher attempted to Grim
inally assault Mrs. Siddals, and that the

way to the foot board. Here it is believed
she could have ridden in safety to the
station ut Tamworth had she not lost
all judgment through excitement result
ing from the outrageous attack made
upon her. She, however, evidently
feared that Goodall would make an at
tempt TO drag her back into the com
par.ment to carry out his nefarious de-
signs against her honor, and to escape
this fate she leaped from the rapidly
moving train.
Goodall is in custody His side of the
story has not been made public He will
have a hard task to overcome the
circumstantial evidence the police have
woven around him, 1t is to be hoped that
Mrs. Siddals will recover consciousness.
so that i the police theory is unfounded
she will be able TO refute il, and so pre-
vent perhaps innocent man from sery-
ing long term of imprisonment.

HARRISON'S NOMINATION AT MIN
NEAPOLIS.

Editor Free Press:
1t now looks as though the nominal
ton of President Harrison to be his
own successor would be the unani-
nous verdict of the convention on the
first ballot, and we have had no presi-
dent for the last twenty years upon
whom the honor Of second term
could have been more worthily or
deservedly bestowed.
The purity Of his private life has
been carried into his public life. and
he has given the people an admins
tration of which every loyal citizen
may be justly proud Of, and which our
Democratic opponents cannot assail.
In the management Of our foreign
affairs he has developed abilities of
the highest order. His clear compre-
tension of our rights and firmness in
their defense, have never been sur
passed by any of his predecessors.
His sound judgement on all the great
issues that have come up for discus
sion and settlement with other ma
tions have been met and managed
with such skill and care as to COM
mand the approval of political oppo-
nents as well as friends, and his we'll
known fidelity to the great principles
of equal and exact justice to all citi-
Zens, good faith with our creditors,
honest money for honest people and
national protection to labor on the
farm, in the workshop and manufac-
tories of the whole country from the
competition of the cheap laboIof the
old world, the maintenance Of the
union of our great United Republic,
one and inseparable, now and forever,
are unquestioned. With an unques-
tionable private and public character
he richly merits Republican endorse
ment, and will undoubtedly receive
it by nomination. He will be sup
ported at the November election by
every voter who loves his own country
better than any other country. B.

A Legislative Endorsement.

a law was passed last winter in
Minnesota affecting the sale of alum
baking powders. The interest excit-
ed by the bill when proposed led to a
long and thorough investigation by
legislative committee of the quail
ties of all the baking powders sold in
that State, with the result that the
Royal was shown by very positive
evidence from the State Chemist,
DIR. Drew, and others. to be the pur-
est, strongest, and in all respects the
best baking powder in the market.

LA CROSSE Republican and Leader:
There has been an increase Of 5000 in
the number Of hands employed and
the capital invested has doubled in
the wool manufacturing industry
from 1880 to 1890 under the Repub-
lican policy of protection. We thought
that our wool manufacturing indus
try was dying out, that wooden mills
were closing, that wages were being
reduced, that etc, etc. Will the De
mocratic calamity howlers please as
sumo standing attitude and explain
why it is thus and so, when they have
assured US time and again that the
whole business would go to the dem.
milton bow-wows if the tariff Oh
wool was not removed?

The rush for hemes upon the Sis
seton reservation, which will be open
ed to settlers upon the 18th Of this
month will now commence, and promi-
ses to equal any ever made in the
history Of this country. There is said
TO be only 5000 hoHfesteads upon the
reservation. and it is estimated that
at least 80, 600 people will flock there
for claims. OF course many, very
many must of necessity be disappoint-
ed. and more or less suffering will en-
sue, but it would undoubtedly be i'm
possible to conviace any one Of the
number who may 60 there that he
will be the disappointed one. Many
who GO there will spend what little
they have scraped together, in going
and getting away again, and the
energy which they eXpend, together
with their small means would gather
about them a comfortable home else
where. 1t is to be regretted that this
reservation could net be settled with
out the rush and suffering that will
necessarily result, but such is the de-
sire for cheap lands that hundreds
who could otherwise be contented
with thefr surroundings will throw
judgment and reason to the winds
and risk all to get the coveted piece
of soil.

A SPIRITED political fight is going
on ia Rhode Island and both parties
are making a strong campaign. The
Democrats especially are doing every
thing possible to turn the little state
into their fold. Rhode Island has
always been strong protectiOnist
state. and consequently has always
cast its electoral vote for the Republi-
can ticket, but local matters have
rendered it at times uncertain in
state elections, and as d result the
Democrats have several times captur-
ed it. But the campaign this spring
turns largely upon the question of
free trade and protection. A legis-
lature is to be elected which will
choose a successor to Senator Aldrich.
This is prize the Democrats would
like, and are willing to pay most any
price for. Then they have an idea
that could they carry this stronghold
of protection, it would be great card
for them in the approaching presiden-
tial campaign. But the Republicans
are keeping close watch of their cor
rupt deals, and will bring their dis
honesty to grief wherever possible.
Left to their free choice there is lit
tie doubt as to where the voters would
place themselves. The protective
policy has given Rhode Island her
great industries, and though small in
territory has become factor in ma
tional interests to an extent which
would not have been possible had the
Democratic policy prevailed.

JUST now the Democrats are trying
hard to make out that the free coin
age Of a cheap silver dollar is not a
party question. Their basis for build
ing this scheme on is that few Re
publicans voted with Bland in the
late contest in the house, and num-
Der of Democrats voted against him.
But such figuring will not work. The
great fact stands that the Republican
party is unalterablys opposed to the
free coinage of the cheap silver dollar,
while the Democratic party is as
much committed to it by its vote
which saved the bill from being
tabled, as though it had passed the
measure.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

The Worlds Fair appropriations by
foreign countries, as far as reported,
aggregate more than s., 100000.
A herd of live elk will be taken
from Idaho to the Exposition. In
the Montana exhibit will be shown
about 100 specimens of wild animals
and birds, native to that State, and
set up by a skilled taxidermist.
1t has been finally settled that the
shoe and leather industry will have a
separate building at the Fair. Rep
resentatives Of that industry have &C
cepted the site offered them, and will
erect, at cost of 500, 900 a building
measuring $50 by 600 feet, in which
they will show an almost endless ar
ray of leather products, and every
process in their manufacture from
the raw hide to the most finished ar
ticle.
An East Indian village and exhibit
will occupy 200, 900 square feet of space
on Midway Piaisance.
The Silk Association of America
and the Silk Industry Association
have decided to combine in making
the finest possible exhibit ofsilk goods
and products.
The Canadian Pacific railway will
exhibit at the Fair model passenger
train, and also models of the fine
ocean steamers in that company's
service.
More than 1860 car loads of build
ing material have been received on
the Exposition grounds.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
instructed the collectors of customs
at all United States ports that the
transportation of articles intended
for exhibit at the Exposition must be
facilitated in preference to all other
importations. Exhibits from foreign
ports are already beginning to arrive
at New York in considerable num-
bers.
Idaho will show some splendid speci-
mems Of mica in the Mines Building.
1t has Lodges of mica eight feet thick
and apparently inexhaustible. Sheets
of it as large as 10 by u inches, with
out a flaw, and as thin as tissue pa
per, are not uncommon. 1t is propos-
ed to have some Of the windows in
the Idaho building glazed with mica.
The Methodists have proposed to
hold an International camp meeting
of months duration at the time of
:. the Exposition. 1t will be held half
the time at Desplaines and the other
half at Lake Bluff. Both places are a
few miles out from Chicago,
The Italian government has select
ed its war ship America, to convey to
the United States the Italian eXhib-
. its to the Exposition free of charge.
The Rome Chamber of Commerce has
invited other chambers to form COM
mittees to promote the securing of
Italian exhibits.
The Exposition company will pay
$40 per lamp for the 5000 to 5000 arc
lamps required for electric lighting
About 100000 incandescent lights will
also be used, but have not yet been
contracted for.

THE New York Sun says that the
devil is losing ground in New York.
We have had an idea all along that
Tammany, under the supervision OF

The political situation within the
Democratic party is about as follows:
Hill has New York with y delegates.
Cleveland has the delegations OF
Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Is
land and the District of Columbia,
and will have the 81 from Pennsylva-
MIA. which will give him a total OF
98 votes. If be can get 500 more votes
the nomination is his.
