DON'T

go out of your way while down
town this morning to look into our
window.
Wei speak advisedly, for if you see our
display of cotton Underwear and
note the prices, the chances are
that you will buy Nightgown at
SO cents. even if you don't need
one.
Now, we rather sell you something you
need at proportionately low prices,
then you will appreciate the trade
you have made.
Want to know all about that SO cent
Nightgown? Really it's of such
good quality and price is so low
that we cannot afford to go into de-
tails about it.
Will say. however, that if you can buy
as good a gown for the money any
where we will give you pair of
them.
Come to think of it we cut the price on
these gowns so they would travel in
pairs.
1t would be shame to send them out
singly at the price.
Finally: if you want to keep your money
don't look around Our store to-day,
tomorrow or Saturday as summer
Underwear is selling at winter prices.

MIsFoRTUNEs NEVER COME sINaLY
Hard Luck of the Ship Abbie S. Hart.

=,
uewes, DEL, January 9.-Ship Abbie s..
Hart, of Yarmouth, N. s., from Iloilo, with
sugar, has arrived at the breakwater. On
the passage the ship struck on coral reef
in Bankers strait and remained aground
twelve days. About one hundred tons of
her cargo was jettisoned to float her and
upon her arrival at Batavia 25n00 bags more
were discharged for necessaries repairs.
After which the cargo was reloaded and the
ship proceeded.
She put into Cape Town, Africa. on
October 90. with several of her crew dead
and sick with Java fever. December rs. of
Cape Hatteras. they met with tremendous
northwesterly gales. causing the ship to
labor heavily and to leak slightly. She lost
her mainsail, foretopmast, jib and received
slight damage to her decks, etc. Capt. Nc
Henry is very sick aboard with Java fever
and will be landed here if the ship is or
dered to any other port than Philadelphia.
Part of the ships cargo is probably slightly
damaged.

The BRINK OF MADNESS.
An End to Which Many are Blindly
Rushing.
MANY PATHS LEAD STRAIGHT To
THIS TERRIBLE END.
Are You Hopelessly Struggling Along This
Dangerous Road.

Are You HopeIessly Struggling Along ihis
Dangerous Road.
The world-renowned poet, Gray, says;
1The paths of glory lead but to the
grave" All paths lead to the grave, but
especially do those dangerous walks OF
life, overwork, strain on the system, dis
sipation, improper attention to the rules
OF health, involving sleepiess nights,
tired bodies and weak and shattered
nerves, lead to an early death, or more
dreaded and fearful fate. -
Notice the strength and powerful ad-
vice in the following letter, written by
Mrs. J. Wesley Mann, of Mortified,
Mass:
"a bout IS months ago, my daughter
Jennie went into large store as clerk.
and was obliged to make long days of
about IA hours, and the work proved
too hard tor ner. She was completely
run down, being Frustrated by nervous
debility. She had terrible restless nights
snd.was unable to sleep hardly at all. Hel
head trou bled her, being dizzy, and her
limbs ached, and frequently she would
nit down and cry, size was il such pain.

SOUTH DAKOTA ROBBED.
State Treasurer Taylor is a Much
Wanted Man.

His Bank Has Closed Its Doors-The State
is in an Embarrassing Position-The
Last Heard of Taylor. He Was in New
York.
Pierre, S. D., January Estate Treasurer
Taylor, who should have turned over the
cash TO his successor yesterday failed to ap-
pear, and his bank (the Redfeld' National
bank closed it's doors. The last heard of
Taylor he was in New York. Saturday he
should have had S300.0OO, and should have
paid Sl90,000 Saturday to take UP the fund
ing warrants In New York. His bonds are
S350,0O0 and they will stand fifty per cent
shrinkage. 1t has been known for some
time that Treasurer Taylor was hard
pressed. and altogether he lost 100000 by
bank failures. The first National bank at
Redfeld, Taylor's bank, is in good con-
dition, and it is thought will pay all debts.
If the dafalcation is as large as the bonds.
as many men believe. it will place the state
in very embarrassing position. The limit
of Indebtedness is PASSED largely. No war
rants or bonds can be sold, and there is
considerable deficiency in the revenue.
Taylor has always had high reputation as
a hnancler ana man Of 1ntegr1ty.Hsl he

fires. The bill was introduced late in the
session and failed of passage. 1t Is proba-
hle that a similar measure will be introduced
this YEAR after the convention OF the land
owners What other recommendations that
committee will make cannot be foretold
now.
THE WATER WORKS AMENDMENT.
The resolve presented by Senator Savage
for an amendment to the constitution to
hermit towns and cities TO contract an in
debtedness greater than five per cent of
their valuation in cases where the debt is
to be created to pay for water works, is
understood to have originated in Auburn
which city has a system of water works to
take care of. 1t will be remembered that
under legislation secured two years ago,
Auburn acquiI ed the ownership of the water
works system. Now, in order to put things
in satisfactory shape Auburn feels the need
of money which, under the constitutional
provision, she cannot secure by an issue of
bonds. There are said to be- several other
towns and cities which would like to take
advantage of this amendment but 1t Is very
doubtful if they ever get the chance to do
so, as there is a strong sentiment already
ma king itself manifest against the amend
ment. One member voiced this feeling to-
day when he said that if an exception was
to be made in the case of Indebtedness for
water works, there would soon be demand
for "a similar concession to cities which
wanted to acquire the ownership of gas and
electric lighting plants. If Auburn with
water works to manage wants to increase
her debt. why wouldn't some other town,
which already owns water system. have
good grounds for desiring the privilege of
creating indebtedness to pay for some other
municipal necessity? That is a question
which is being asked here by those who fear
| that this amendment would be the opening
wedge for others or provide means to
| create indebtedness for other purposes in
disguise.
AN ANNEXATION MOVEMENT.
| A movement is on foot to annex a part of
| Berwick to South Berwick. The territory
| to be changed from one town to the other is
