We have made an arrange. Iment with a professor oi French dress cutting to cut waists of all silks and dress Igoods bought of us this month. l There will be no charge for the present. First come, first served.
 We have had the first look at the new fall silks and dress goods. They began to come in last week. Friday is the first opportunity to see more than a very few. Every day there'll be more and more.
 School next Tuesday! Shoes must be got; and stockings, and handkerchiefs. and aprons and jackets, and dresses, and slates, and paper; and pencils. We have ready a large variety of these goods.
 By the way, children ought not to wear high-heeled shoes; but, as mothers do not all think alike, we keep high heels, low heels and no heels. Spring heels are the easiest, as the name implies; and it is as much to the shoemaker's inter- est as to the shoe-wearer's com fort that the shoes are easy. So we give a little council now and then. Women are not generally wise enough to wear spring heels (men we say nothing about, you see;) but they are wise enough to buy them for their girls and boys. We keep spring heel shoes for both boys and girls.
 We ought to say here that the best shoes for boys and girls are our wear-resisting shoes; but let's change the sub

 TONIC.
 Od Sunday afternoon the community was startled by the intelligence that Oscar E. Winton had met his death by drowning in the Housatonic river. Itap- pears that Mir Winton, with company oi friends, had gone to the river to pass the day, near the Barlow, place about one mile above Zoar Bridge. Mir Winton, who was good swimmer, went into the water and started to swim across. When about half way he was probably taken with cramp, and went down. His body was found in short time and taken to the home of his mother, Mrs Eliza Win. ton. The deeea sed was g years old, and is survived by his mother, who is now very ill, sister, Mrs John H. Blaekman, and a brother, Charles Winton. The funeral was largely attended on Tuesday, Rev O. o. Wright officiating. The bear CTS were William Winton, Frederick and French, Homer G.

separated When Little Children
Their Meeting at Her Home in
This City Last Night.

Joseph Crawford, a young man connected
with the NJ, X. G. 7. railroad Offices, at
St. Louis, came to this city last evening to
meet his sister, whom he has not seen for
twenty years, and whom he thought was
dead, until he received word from her a
few weeks ago. Mr.. Crawford's parents
name was McClelland, but ne wss given
the name of the people who took him to
raise after his parents death. Miss Matte
McClelland, the sister he came to see, is a
pretty young woman, probably twenty-four
years of age. who is employed as a trim
mer at Griffith Brothers. She boards at
No. 17s North Illinois street. and near that
place the first meeting OF brother and sis
ter took place last evening, shortly after Z
o'clock. The history Of the two lives, the
circumstances which led them to become
separated, and the strange manner in which
he was led to know OF her existence reads
like fiction.
The young peoples parents died at Terre
Haute when both were very young. The
boy was adopted by a family named Craw-
ford, who treated him with great kindness.
They moved away. going TO Kansas, and
when about sixteen years Of age, young
living north Of Terre Haute. She
frequently heard her brothers Eame.
she lost all trace of the family. and began
TO think her brother was dead or a wander
er. A few months ago she heard that there
was a Joseph Crawford living at Parsons.
Kan. She wrote there, but the letter came
family, but met with disappointment.
Through a friend she heard there was a
young man at Denison, Tex, named Craw-
ford, and she sent a letter there.
Mr.. Crawford was stationed there at the
TINA and nna AQU Uhf1n af rrnrk ha
ceived a letter from indianapolis. He was
greatly surprised. for he knew Of no one
here who would be likely TO write to hin.
The letter began: MY dear but unknown
brother" and Il was signed Your un-
Crawford was greatly perplexed, for he
firmly believed his sister was dead. He
answered, however, and other letters
passed; He was removed to ST. Louis. and
sending word of his coming.
Last evening Miss McClelland left her
boarding house for a walk. She had gone
but a few yards when a well-dressed young
man approached and asked for a Miss Nc
Clelland. She was pointed out to him, and,
going to her, he said:
This is Miss McClelland, 1 believer
And who may you beT' she asked.
Il am your brother, whose right name Is
the name OF Crawford he answered.
There was a meeting such as there should
be between a brother and sister separated
for twenty years. Miss McClelland was
taken completely by surprise. She intro
and. later, brother and sister walked to-
gether, talking over the incidents of each
others life and rejoicing over the reunion.
Mr.. Crawford will spend several days here
which she will probably make her home
with him in st. Louis.

ell expressed no opinion upon the case, but
he promised TO submit the evidence to the
Board OF Safety, which will probably be
with the recommendation that the charges
be dismissed. Mr.. and Mrs. Minor appeared
In person and told the circumstances which
led them to believe they were grossly in
suited by the two officers. The hearing OF
the case was the occasion for several dis
putes between witnesses, so IL became neces-
sary to separate them. Mrs. Minor is rath-
er a large woman. with black hair and
blacker eyes. She no sooner saw one wit
ness than she jumped to her feet and began
talking to him in a most rapid and ener-
getic manner. Mr.. and Mrs. Minor allege
that they were stopped by the officers and
insulted, and that the officers were guilty
of drunkenness. Mr.. Minor related the
incidents which caused him and his
wife TO talk a walk in one of the worst
sections Of the city. Mrs. Minor said she
wished to see a part of the city which she
had never seen, so they walked down on
West Georgia street. Ii was last Sunday
night, and IL was dark. Mrs. Minor became
weary. and she sat down., as chance would

L OF ST EAGLEN.
A Thousand People mt the House-Re-
marks of Rev. Mr.. Black.

The funeral services of ST Eaglen, the
saloon keeper hot by Chris Zimmerman
last Sunday night, were held yesterday aft
ernoon at the family home, No. 266 East
Market street. The interment was at Mt.
Jackson Cemetery, where Eaglen has rela-
tives buried. Fully a thousand people
stood around the house while the services
were being conducted. Some were friends
of the dead saloon keeper, a number were
acquaintances, while many were there
through curiosity. Rev. III. ]. Black, of
the Grace NJ. f.. Church, conducted the
services, which were brief. There was
some speculation regarding what a minister
of the gospel would say at the funeral of
a man like Eaglen. Mr.. Black made brief
reference to the dead. Faith was the theme
words concerning Eaglen, saying:
he " mase d na nrossss Tas n no one. c9 He ia aea and
his sun has set, SO let the mantle OF charity
fall over him. Be it said he was a Kind
parent and a loving husband and dearly
beloved"
The local lodge of Druids was in attend
ance at the funeral and it was recalled by
some that Eaglen was initiated into the
place in the woods. where he was killed
and but a few yards from where he fell.
A band headed the procession, which
dirge which was played could be heard at
the jail and zimmerman knew it was
Eaglen's funeral. He paced the floor of the
cell corridor restlessly. The. procession had
just passed when a stylish looking woman,
dressed in black, was seen walking slow
ing toward the jail. Her head was bowed
and she carried a handkerchief which she
occasionally placed to her eyes. She stag
gersd some. as if faint, and persons who
observed her, expected her to fall. AT the
Jail door she faltered and leaned against
the easement for support. with one and
over her eyes. Then she rang the bell and
was admitted. 1t was Mrs. zimmerman.
The funeral procession passed her room
and she knew her husband could hear the
dirge. She went to him and husband and
wife spent some time together. She swore
to lead a different life and he promised TO
quit his ways, stop gambling and liquor

saloon Keepers Map Out n New Policy
Of Campaign.

There was a meeting day before yester-
day Of the saloon keepers of the city for
the purpose Of consulting about the new
laws, particularly the Nicholson law. The
meeting was a secret one and was held in
Mozart Hall during hours when 1t could be
kept a secret. The fact of the meeting
was not known until yesterday morning.
The saloon men who were present say that
the consensus of opinion among the saloon
keepers was that the law ought TO be
strictly obeyed in letter and spirit, so as
to put the business in a more favorable
light with the law and order people and
also TO make the law obnoxious to the
liberal element with a view TO influencing
their political opinions. The saloon keepers
will demand that brewers cease TO sell
beer by the keg to parties Saturday night.
hut should leave this part OF the trade to
the retailer. There Will be another meet
ing Friday afternoon to which all saloon
keepers have been invited. IL Is said that
two of the prominent saloon keepers are
about to organize clubs so as TO be able
to make sales during prohibited hours.
