ANNOUNCEMENTS A OF
AUCTIONEER
WELCOME To SPRING OF 1894.

The depression Of trade during the past year
and what can be accomplished now.
The past II months have been hard times
not only 10 the laboring men and mechanics,
but to the merchants also. Now as we have arr
rived 10 the welcome spring and most men have
found employment once more the question
az home arises. how can we complete the
furnishings OF our house or other necessities
az very moderate expense AT the same
time some of our merchants are saying,
how shall we supply those people with what
they want, and help them To make up for
the hard times by coming within their
mcansf In view OF this, one of our largest
housefurnshing establishments are working
under the following rule, 10 have the running
expenses OF the store as light as possible 10
omit from sl2.o0O 10 $1,000 year for adver-
tising. Now my readers, stop right here and
think this enormous EXPENSE must be ad-
del on 10 the cost OF YOUR goods, and the
buyer of the goods MUST pay for IL, which
makes the article cost large percentage
more.
There Is store at los TO 159 Weybosset
street, near Eddy street. that Is not only the
largest Auction House in Rhode Island that
carries "A good many thousands dollars worth
OF New and Fine Housefurnishings and Car
pets, etc.. of the latest designs and patterns for
retail trade and private sale. and on this ac-
count our extremely low expenses which are
paid by our auction business. We are saving
our patrons hundreds of dollars which Others
CANNOT do.
For proof get prices of goods at all other
stores. then call on US and get our prices OF
the same goods, and see for yourself at GEO.

Extinction Of an Animal That Not Long
Ago Blackened the Plains

Extinction Of an Animal That Not Long
Ago Blackened the Plains
When the first white settlers landed
in Virginia the bison ranged east of the
Alleghenies almost to the seacoast,
westward to the dry deserts lying be-
yond the Rocky mountains, northward
to the Great Slave lake and southwark
to chihuahua. It was the beast of the
forests and mountains, in the Alleghe-
MES no less than in the Rockies, but
its true home was on the prairies and
the high plains, says the Rocky Noun
tain News.
Across these 1t roamed hither and
thither. In herds of enormous, of in
credible, magnitude; herds 50 large
that they covered the waving grass
land for hundreds of square leagues,
and when on the march occupied days
and days in passing given point
But seething myriads of shaggy
named wild cattle vanished with re-
markable and melancholy rapidity be-
fore the inroads of the white hunters
and the steady march OF the oncoming
settlers. Now they are on tho point
of extinction.
Two or three hundred are left in
that great national game preserve. the
Yellowstone park, and it is said that
others still remain in the wintry desc
lation of Athabasca. Elsewhere only
few individuals exist, probably con-
siderably less than half hundred all
told, scattered in the widest and most
romantic and inaccessible portions Of
the Rocky mountains.
A bison bull is the largest American
