Probably half the people that
visited our stores yesterday went
away without buying-some not
ready for Holiday Goods, some
not waited on-and yet the two
stores show a record OF having
made over Seven thousand sep
arate and distinct sales during the
day. This is without doubt the
greatest business ever done in
one day by any retail house in
Helena-and it tells a story Of
popularity, which, taking popu-
lation into account, is not equalled
by any concern in the country.
The store people are worn out
with the Holiday rush--and we
don't want to keep open to-day
but we've had so many requests
from customers who were unable
TO come through the week and
take time to look through the
stock carefully that we cannot
disregard their wishes-and will
be open to-day.
Not a dollars worth of Holi-
day Goods must be carried over
Christmas. We must sell-and
the only way we know to force
sales is TO cut prices. There's
lots of Fancy Goods of all kinds
and lots of Toys and Dolls left
for every one-wen make. a
price to sell them.
Hard work to attend to the
people who crowded around the
Candy counter and clamored for
candy yesterday. Better service
for you on Monday. You've no
doubt seen the stock by this time,
and know that all our claims for
it are just. If you buy Christ
mas candies anywhere but here
you lose money.
The Dry Goods Department
will offer few special prices in
useful and beautiful Holiday
Goods for Monday.

No Pillow,

According to popular French doctor
it is quite mistake to sleep with the
head upon pillow. In order that the
brain be properly irrigated with blood
(that is the word he uses), the head
should lie low, and the feet be raised.
II nature had intended mans head to be
higher than his feet when in recumbent
position, she would have made the hu-
man body in different shape. He ad-
vises every one to lose no time in correct
ing the bad habit; il can be done gradu-
ally, without discomfort. in six weeks
First sleep without pillow when that

Dismay in the Diplomatic Quarter.
From the Profitable Advertising.1

The advance agent of theatrical CON-
pany, which was to make visit of tht G
nights in Washington, had summons in
legal phraseologv, prepared and sealed
with wax, notify ing the receiver that e
must appear at the box Office and buy at
least one ticket of admittance for the
plsy.
They were formally addressed, and
sent by messenger to the prominent peo-
pie of Washington. A number of for
eigners in the diplomatic corps received
them, and, not understanding the pecu-
liar methods resorted to by the Amer
leans, fastened to the Secretary of State
to demand protection, protesting that
they knew nothing of the matter men,
toned in the summons, and that it was a
breach of national law to arrest an &C.
credited foreign representative.
Itrequired the combined tfnrts of Sec
rotary Gresham and his several assis ia Mt
secretaries to explain the thing to the
foreigners without hurting their feelings
or woundipg their dignity.

Our Whole Confidence

in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and which attracted
much attention hereabOuts. was the cure of our
little son, Harry, of consumption. Six years ago
while living at South Berwick, Maine, when
he was but three months old, he was seized
with an illness which developed into quick
consumption. Everything possible was done,
and the doctors, after a consultation, said
they could not save him. He was not expected
to live from day to day. My sister had bottle
of Hoods SarsapariIla which only contained a
few teaspoonfus. In hopes that it might give
the boy a little strength and possibly life, we
gave him few drops of the medicine three
times day. When the small quantity had been

James II. Morgan, the veteran 7. w.
aud B. railroad Gateman at Elkton died

interests OF the company in that town
and vicinity-Mr. Joseph H. Steele.
While it is true that prominence in
local and state affairs is generally
attained more readily by those known as
professional men, yet it is no less the
fact, that the business men of this
county and other counties of the State
constitute q class, which contributes very
materially to local prosperity, and form
an important factor in every community.
To this class of successful business
men Mr.. Steele belongs, and although
their daily occupations do not bring them
SO prominently before their fellow men
as their professional brethren yet they
fully deserve and they generally receive
quite as generous public recognition.
Mr.. Steele Is . native of Chesapeake
City, whers he WAS born in 1886. He
was educated in the schools of this
county, and in 1852 entered the Office of
the late George W. Bennett who con-
Quoted in his life time an extensive ium-
Der aud grain business at that town,
Mr.. Steele beng afterwards associated
with Mr.. Bennett as partner. Having
established early in his life, the reputa-
ton of being q careful and reliable bust
ness man, Mr.. Steele was made post
master of Chesapeake City by President
johnson.
Upon the death of Mr.. Bennett in 1869
Mr.. Steele succeeded him in the grain,
coal, lime and phosphate business which
he has since conducted.
During the years 1871 and 1872 he was
collector of state and county taxes for
the Second district of this county, and
in 1877 was elected by the Democrats to
the Maryland House of Delegates, with
the late Hon. Hiram Mccullough and
James NJ. Touchstone. While in the
Legislature Mr.. Steele made high
reputation as capable worker in the
committee room, and rendered his
county excellent servics on the important
committee of Ways and Means, as we'll
as on other equally important commit
tees.
Mr.. Steele married daughter of John
w. Bouchelle, prominent citizen of the
Second district, his family consisting of
his wife and five children. He is now in
the full prime of life, actively interested
i'll the Episcopal Church of Chesapeake
City of which he is a vestryman, and to
the building of which he very materially
contributed, and has before him the
prospect of many years of usefulness
and influence in his community.

Death of Robert Dawson.

Mr.. Robert Dawson formerly OF Leeds
il, this county, and who had attained the
remarkable age of nearly ninety eight
years, died on Monday last at the homo
of his daughter Mrs. John Hughes at
passaic, New Jersey. Mr.. Dawson was
harm IN this county between Leeds and
Blue Ball in 1897, and was by occupation
a farmer. His sister Maria Dawson was
for "a number Of years = member of the
family of General James Sewell at Holly
Hall, aud afterwards married Stephen Ii.
Foard in Sassafr2s Neck, the owner of
Ford e Landing on the Elk river. Mrs.
Ford was a most estimable woman and
skilled housewife. The introduction of tie
tomato in this county-at first cultivated
as flower and called the love apple
was attributed TO her, and her success in
canning aud preserving peaches and
fruits was proyerbial, the Ford's Land
ing farm having on it a large and prolific
peach orchard.
Robert Dawson her brother, spent q
good deal of his time in Elkton in those
DAYS, he and his sister having been LEI
orphans. Robert was celebrated on al

FIRE AT CONOWING0.

Railroad Depot Burned to the Ground.
CoNowINGo, August LIST, 1894.
The Columbia and Port Deposit rail-
road station and freight house of this
place was destroyed by fire on Sunday
night. The fire was first discovered
about ten o'clock at the north end Of the
freight house but was uuder such head
way that nothing of freight kind could
be saved. The entire contents of the
warehouse were destroyed. The windows
of the Office end were broken open, but
owing to tie smoke and fire, nothing
was saved except few pieces of bag
gage and tho ticket cases. All the
records and books except what were in
the safe (Which is not yet open) was lost.
The building was insured for one thou
sand dollars. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company had Sc wires run into
the building. They are the heaviest
losers as nothing belonging to them
was insured. The Adams E xpress Com
pany also lose all the property they had
in the building, with no insurance. The
total loss will not be known until all
business of the month is duplicated. The
supposition is the lightning on the wires
was the cause of the fire.
Mr.. Charles A. Andrew and Mr.. A.
Burkins are building large warehouse
here. They intend to deal in grain, hay
and such like. We hope they may be
successful as all these things tend to the
building up of our town.
