seen said that the bonded and floating in
debtedness of the company together amounts

What Does it Mean?

That was the question asked by almost
every person that passed the Boston Store
two weeks ago.
The cause of 1t was the arrival Of the first
lot of our wall paper stock, consisting Of all
grades Of paper hangings from the brown
backs to the silk papers. Last season we
sold almost every roll of paper we had in
the place, and start in this season with a
much larger and finer line than ever, as
well as by far the largest stock and Lowest
prices in the city.
Read the following list Of prices:
Brown backs, Sc.
White blanks, 4hc.
White blank micos, SIC.
White blank gifts, &c and SC.
Full gilt and bronzes, Toe, 1211c, 15c.
Embossed gilt, lie.
These papers are all straight goods and
bought from the combination, but that makes
no difference to us, We sell wall paper
same as dry goods-small profits and large
sales.
p. S.-If you want any papering or paint
ing done do not fail TO give US a chance to
furnish an estimate. We have engaged Bloss
Bros. to do our papering and painting this
season, and their name is enough to satisfy
you that everything done will be frst-class.
All our work guaranteed.

RELIC OF SIOUX cIrY's BOOM.
Gigantic Land Swindle Said to Have Been
Engineered There.

Eng iheereu Inere.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. ia special to t;e Re-
public from Sioux City, Ia, says; 1t has just
come TO the surface that a land swindle OF
large proportions was worked on eastern in
vestors during the palmy days Of Sioux
City's boom, and up to the present time the
victims have kept still about it. The
swindlers bought a large farm just east Of
the city, where land is not very expensive,
and plated IL into small lots, which were
decided to various persons in the deal.
Mortgages were given for payment in sums
nearly as large as the alleged sale price of
the lots, and the manager, with these evil
dences of sale, went eastward in search of
investors.
He borrowed money, giving his notes and
putting up his mortgages as security. In
these ways he raised from $500 to $500 on
each lot and secured thousands of dollars
from eager capitalists Holders of some of
these notes and mortgages recently wrote to
a leading law firm to have them
foreclosure proceedings and investigation re-
vealed the fact that the lots are not worth
what it would cost to secure them by a fore
closure. The parties then, il is stated,
ordered the lawyers to carry the matter be-
fore the grand jury and evidence is being
prepared for this purpose.
