BY the death of John w. Hall the peo'
pie of Kent county have lost cOpscien'

of vast benefit to her commercial pros

il is to him and mis- colleague-SenPtOr
Williams-that the people of Delaws are,
and the Democratic party in particular,
are indebted for the Illustration OF parti-
san legislatiOn last winter that would
have been a crime against popular gov

ever may succeed him in the State Sen
ate can not more acceptably represent

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction that

We are not prone to indulgence in

positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona f1de cost basis.

our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall

Tt will pay you to anticipate your

We mention in particular our large

marked on them will meet your ap-
proval and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at

Our Moquettes, Art Squares, Rugs,

Return of the Popular Edwin
Ferry and Company,

1t is with m-ch pleasure the the managers
announce the faYorite young actor, Edwin
Ferry, who will appear at the Opera House to-
morrow evening. Sept. 29th. He will be sup
ported by the same excellent company that was
with him on his appearance at the Opera House
last season. Theater goers pronounced their
perform ,nce the best one given at the Opera
House during the season.
In speaking of this company, the Toronto
Daily Tribune says: "If. as has been said,
there are sermons in stones. books In running
brooks. and good in everything surely there
are sermons to be found which appeal to the
noble instincts in such plays as Damon and
Pythias, which oar good people of Toronto had
the pleasure of seeing presented last night by
the eminent young tragedian, Edwin Ferry and
his excellent company. This drama. which has
ever been a favorite with all theatre goeIs.
never fails to attract a full house whenever it
is presented, and with a star of the magnitude
of Ferry. it was made unusually enjoyable last
night. 1t was freely voted the best dramatic
presentation that has yet been given here. and
there have been many very good ones.

THE SEA HORSE.
What the Excsedlngly Curious rish
Looks Like and where Found.

What the Excsedlngly Curious rish
LOOKS Like and where Found.
The genuine sea-horse or hippocam.
pus Is a veritable curiosity. 1t is an
osseous or bony fish with tufted pills
like those of the pike family. The
average length of specimens found on
the east coast OF the United States is
about five inches, those in the Gulf OF
Mexico often growing to be 8 to 10
inches in length. The snout of the
creature is rather elongated and the
head highly elevated posterorly The
ears which are simply spiny coronet
on the occiput help TO give the little
animals head and mock striking re-
semblance to those OF horse. The
eyes are very prominent and can be
moved independently of each other
and in opposite directions. This lit
tie fish horse suspends itself to sea-
weed and other marine objects by
means OF a long. slender. whip-liko
tail which is without fms They have
but three fins altogether two pro-
tectoral Gust behind the ears) and
one dorsaL The mouth terminates
'sucker-likc' and Is without teeth.
They swim vertically. the tail always
ready TO wind about any oh .ect with
which they may come in contact The
dried specimens OF this marine oddity
convey but n slight idea OF the real
looks OF the creature. its appearance
being as graceful and as elegant as
ono could hope to see in any specimen
OF the fish family. The most peculiar
trait OF the sea horse is its habits Of
breeding, which are unlike those OF
any other species of fish known to the
81. Louis Republic. The male has a
pouch or sack just at the beginning or
place where the tail connect, with the
main part OF the body. The female
deposits her eggs in this sack and the
male Tugs them about until they be.
