Mems Shirts
To Order.

We don't believe that any man ought to
be perfectly satisfied with Ready Made
Shirts. We sell them ourseIves-we sell
the best we can buy. But we do it to ac-
commodate those men who don't want to
go to the trouble of being measured. We
can't see that there any other reason
why they shouldn't wear Made-to-Order
Shirts. The difference in price is very
slight. The difference in comfort, length
of wear and dressiness is great. We allow
plenty of fullness wherever it is needed.
We're not skinny with our materials, and
yet we fit perfectly. Shirts ordered to-
morrow cannot be ready by Christmas,
but it will be a delightful present where
the intimacy warrants, to say, i've ar
ranged with Falk to make you some

WALTER SWANS TROUBLE.
Attempts to Hang Himself In Jail at
West Union.

Walter Swain. whose parents reside at
al College avenue, and who was a member
of the Peary expedition of 1893. is in Jail
ing in a dying condition from an attempt
to commit suicide. Swain was arrested a
short time ago at PEBBLES. o., and taken
to West Union. He was suffering from the
morphine habit and was under the care of
the Jail physician. Yesterday he sent the
jailer for a supply of medicine and dur
ing the ~jailer's absence, hanged himself
to the ceiling of his cell with a pair of
suspenders. When the jailer returned he
tried to free Swain by lifting him up and
untying the knot. but he slipped and Swain
was given a fall which came near break
ing his neck. He was finally cut down and,
though he was still alive, it is believed he
may not recover.
When he was asked why he attempted
to commit suicide Swain stated that he
had Just come to a realization of his posi-
ton and the modification of being in Jail
caused it. He claimed that he
nothing of committing the forgery for
which he was arrested. He also professed
ignorance of having recently married
the daughter of the landlord of
the Legler Hotel at Portsmouth and sub
seuuently deserving her. Walter Swain is
we'll known in this city. He was the pri-
vate secretary Of Lieutenant Peary on the
famous north pole expedition. He re-
turned to this city and, like his comrades,
suffered a long spell of illness resulting
from the cold and exposure TO which he
was subjected on the expedition. Sciatic
rheumatism set in and the extreme suffer-
ing occasioned the use of morphine. He
was confined to his home and bed for near
" a year after his return. Last summer
he partially recovered and went to Ohio to
engage in business.
