INLEY 5

The only place where you can get
your umbrella recovered while YOU
wait. One who discards hand
some umbrella handle, one to the
form and symmetry of which
possibly he has become attached
and an entirely perfect frame, sim
ply because the cover has become
torn or has worn into unsightly
holes does not, what is done in
three cases out of four, but the
most natural thing. which is,
destroy it. The cause of this sort
of wastefulness heretofere-an ex-
euse which never can be urged
again-has been entirely due to
the trouble and expense of having
new cover put on the old frame.
No one thinks Of the umbrella
until 1t is needed, the holes in it are
only remembered when it rains.
But if the careful owner give. heed
to its condition the trouble OF lind
ing a reliable repairer and the
usual cost of the job are such as to
deter one from a repetition of the
experiment. The average travel
ing umbrella mender is the most
monumental of delusions, his work
is only too apt to leave the umber-
ella much the worse for his atten-
ton.
in our patent adjustable umbrella
cover we have an invention that
forever removes all excuse for this
waste of good handles and frames
and does so lin a practical, direct
way that cannot fail to commend
itself to the most exacting. This
cover is so constructed of such
sizes, shapes and qualities that no
matter what the frame nor what
the taste of its owner, a suitable
cover may be bought for from 65c.
to $500, and they are so construct
ed that the least practical person
can adjust 1t in few minutes and
have an umbrella in every par
ticular rs good as new. No novel
ty in the umbrella trade put upon
the market in the last decade has
met with such immediate success
as has this adjustable cover of
which we have the sole agency
for this city.

Forest City, Pa, Oct. 12--Forest City
mas again been visited by "bugaleers"
as may be observed by looking at three
dl1erent business places on Main street
ana some other places in town. Their
work was done some time between !
and O'Clock this morning. The first
place presumably visited by these men
was the Erie tool house, from which
they procured some tools for their
work. Coreys large store house was
next entered and some oats taken.
The station Is opposite and that was
the next place for them to try their skill.
Their task was quietly done and they
observed the interior of the office, but
seeing nothing there that would satisfy
their longings they made their exit.
Leaving the Jeff" they came UP to
Main street to see what they could ap-
proprlate. AleXander's tailor shop was
entered by breaking pane of glass out
of the front. Two new and costly suits
of clothes and an overcoat We're taken.
Matey's boot and shoe store was en-
tered by breaking the glass in the door.
Some shoes have been taken, but It
cannot be accurately made known by
the proprietor how much footwear is
gone.
Wildenberger's jewelry store, two
doors below Matey's, was the next
place that attracted their attention.
They had the same way of entering
this place as the previous two. Moth
ing is missing here, as most of the
valuable jewelry had been placed in
the large safe. They left their work.
however, to be seen on the safe. The
dial on the safe was hammered off.
II. c. Ames & Co.'S bank door was
given a test, but no entrance was
made. Among the other losers H. F.
Aldrich reports the loss of q valuable
dog. DR.. d. Dryers night lamp, which
was at the Forest House, was removed
and was found at Alexander's.
