 Company. l50 South Main St.,

With the opening of the Spring Season We would call attention to one of the finest selections of Imported and Domestic WooIens ever placed be, fore the public.
 Determined to merit a continuance of the pat. ronaoe so IiberaIIy bestow. ed on us in the past, We shall continue to lead in the making of Garments in Excellence of Quality, and Moderation of Price.
 For instance, our 2O44 is a fine Clay Diagonal in deep black or blue black, of which We will make Suits to order in the most approved style and perfect workmanship for $25.
 Our 2O38 and 2O2o are respectively,a fine i'm. ported Yale Diagonal and Birds Eye Worsted, of which We shall make up suits in same manner, and for the same price,.
 Our 2187, 2177, 2O8o 2O0O, and a great many others, are strictly all wool black Tidbits, Chev. tot or fancy Cassineres of which we'll make up Suits to order from SIS to PLO.
 Realizing that We have just passed through a serious business depres. sion, and that it would therefore be inconsistent for some of our patrons to pay for a suit of Clothes all at one time, We will in the future, as in the past Deliver Garments on small weekly payments.
 Es>By request of great many of our patrons we have arranged for department where we will do Repairing, Cleaning and Pressing of Garments at the Lowest Prices and at tha Sb0rtaSt Dotira

Important Factors In Roadmaking That
 Are Often Overlooked.
 In building a road care should be taken that the cross section has lateral grade sufficient to readily shed the wa ter and yet permit vehicle to comfort ably pass over any portion of the road way. About one-half inch to the foot is all the lateral fall necessary to procure good results as to drainage without in- terfering with traffic. To properly round or shape the cross section the following rule may be used with good results:
 Divide the half roadway into, say, three equal parts, then starting from the center fall O.. .03 of foot for one-third of the distance, O04 per foot on the middle third, Q.05 on the side section. In extremely broad roadways it is ad- visable to increase the number of sec

The Care of Millinery.

The Frenchwomen are great deal more careful in the care of their mill linery, and consequently always make a better appearance than the majority of Americans. When the Frenchwoman takes off her bonnet, she does not bundle it at once into bandbox, or throw.it hastily on shelf, or hang it up on peg. Not she. Every little loop and bow is pulled out and put into shape, strings are gently caressed into smoothness, jets and aigrets are strengthened and fastened in position, and the bonnet receives the touch of the brush to remove dust. and then it is laid between folds of tissue paper and is ready for its next appear ance as fresh and new, to all intent. as when it left the milliner's hand

THAT SHOOTING.
How Hack Driver Came Near Losing
His Life.

How Hack-Driver Came Near Losing
His Life.
Relative to the shot fired at hackman
about O'Clock yesterday morning-lnen-
toned in yesterdays RECORD UNIoN-it
was learned yesterday that it was fired by
an L-street woman named May Melville.
The woman has been infatuated with a
young man, and of course jealous of him.
Having satisfied herself that her whilom
lover was out hack-riding with another
woman as morally trail as herself, she
procured another hack and started in
pursuit. Overhauling the other hack at
Ninth and n streets, the Melville woman
opened the door and fired a shot, but
whether at the driver, George McKeon,
or the occupants OF his hack is not
known.
McKeon declares the bullet passed so
close to his face that it nearly scorched
1t, and as the woman thinks he has been
aiding her rival in obtaining interviews
with the tickle youth referred TO, it is
possible the bullet was intended for him.
As soon as he got well away from the
scene McKeon made the occupants of his
carriage get out and walk, and if they go
hack-riding again Bump is not likely
to occupy the box.

THE LATE CY. WHEELER'S BONANZA.
With Plenty of Silver Ore, 1t was Ap-
praised at So, 500.
But If Ever the Price of the White
Metal Improves it viii be
Valuable.

John A. Mcintyre, executor of the
estate of CYRUS Il. Wheeler, deceased, has
filed his final account in the County
Clerks Office. There is now in the hands
OF the executor the sum of Sl3, $50 80, to-
gether with $50 shares of the capital stock
OF Booth d Co., appraised at $50, 200, on
which Y per cent has bean paid.
The executor, in his report, says he
believes that about 80 per cent. of the par
value of the stock will be realized in all,
making the present value of the stock
So. $50.
The report also states that the mining
property formerly belonging to the estate,
situated in the State of Nevada, consists
of number of silver mining claims, the
value of which is in great measure de-
pendent upon the market price of silver.
But it is property in which the deceased
had great faith and which cost him up-
ward of $4,000.
AS appears from the first account, the
executor paid out the sum of S., sol 81 on
this property up to the time OF its distri-
button to the Iegatees and the devisees;
and from then TO the filing of the first ac-
count he paid out, at their request, the
further sum of S3.772 6S, which is in
cluded IN the amount advanced to the
residuary legatees. Since the filing OF
the first account he has paid out the
further sum Of SZ7S 9S on account of that
property.
The report further states that although,
on account of the depression in the silver
market and the consequent non-product-
I've character of this property at the time
or the appraisement, it was appraised
at the nominal sum of $500. the residu-
ary legatees, who are the present owners
OF the property, value it at 100000. There
is in sight an almost inexhaustible supply
of low-grade silver ore, and whenever
there shall be change for the better in
the price of silver, this property will
doubtless realize the highest expectations
OF Mr.. Wheeler and his heirs.
