Dissolution.

No we're not going out OF
business, just a change in
the firm. 1T means a great
deal to us but hardly any to
you. The same manage.
ment and the same liberal
policy towards every Gus,
toner will always prevail as
formerly The change will
not take place until March
25th next. Meanwhile we
would like to turn as much
clothing into cash as posi-.
bic; better to have a little
cash at the dissolution than
a big lot of odds and ends in
clothing. .
Oyercoats went lively all
last week, hundreds ef them
here yet for Men, Boys and
Children.
Several hundred odds and
ends of Mems Trousers just
as good as if we had a hun
drod Of a style; take a little
time to be fitted and you'll
save almost the price OF an
extra pair.
Strictly one price, and if
dissatisfied with your pur.
chase we will return your
money.

The exhilarsting sport Of hunting tho

shooting buffalo, writes c. NJ. Harger
from Abilene, Kan, to the Now York

and the hunters encounter far greater
wariness than of old. Only q few years
ago, and the sportsman was in clover
when he reached the prairies Of Kan

stepped in the midst Of the level plains,
and when the men came back It was
with shoulders heavily laden with the
toothsome and attractive game.
But the heartless and indiscxaninate
slaughter, in season and out Of season,
to which the different varieties of
