NOTICE.

We wish to announce to the peo-
pie Ct Garrett and vicinity that
we have purchased the north side
stock of Furniture e Under aking,
and will consolidate same with our
business. Mr., j. G. Wise will take
charge OF the furniture aud carpet
department.
4 We wish to announce that we
propose to compete with all adjoin
ing towns, Just the same as
though they were doing business in
Garnett By having the exclus i've
business it will enable us to sell
goods from 10 to 20 per cent cheap
er, which we propose to do, and
thereby increase the business OF
Garnett by extending the boundary
lines Of business
We will commence by reducing
the price on furniture about 10 per
cent. To become convinced that
we will do just what we say, we
ask all to post themselves as well
as possible on prices in surrounding
towns, like Ottawa, Burlington, ETC.,
and then compare said prices with
ours. We also wish to state that
since we have been doing the un-
dertaking business of Garrett, we
have extended the boundary lines of
sald business much beyond what
they ever were before, viz beyond
Richmond, nearly onehaIf way to
Ottawa; to Mineral Point, ncary to
Waverly, to Lone Elm, kincaid and
many points beyond their former
lines. This is conclusive evidence
that we are furnishing them their
und ectaking for less money, with
better service, besides furnishing
them with one of the best hearses
and teams in the state Tree, which
no other point in Kansas does.
Our Richmond friends claim they
can do 10 to 20 per cent better with
us than they can do anywhere else,
hes ides the usr of hearse and team
and our service free. This is Ger.
tainly conclusive evidence shat we
have not taken advantage of our
not having competition. As further
evidence that the public have not
been imposed upon and that they
have been well satisfied with our
prices and services, we would state
that during the past two years
there has been competition in the
undertaking business here, and,
during all that time, there has
cen but six cases put out that
bwe did not furnish. This APP
pears very conclusive that the PEG.
pie have not been imposed upon, in
prices or services. We have also
spared no pains to furnish every
thing first class with neatness and
dispatch, besides sparing no ex-
pense in qualifying ourselves In be-
ing til ouroughly competent, having
received graduating certificates
from four of the best demonstrators
in the the United States.
| will conclude by thanking you
for your kind patronage and will
promise you as fair treatment in the
future as in the past, and will here
after furnish you, in addition to the
hearse, pail bearers wagon free in
the city, and equal rebate to the
country trade, aside from making
lower prices than than any place in
the state.
Yours very respectfully,
@. p. Smith.

Replaces the Storm Which Prevailed
in Colorado Sunday.
DENVER, April 13.--The wind, which
blew at a velocity of seventy-five miles
per hour last night in some places in the
State, ceased before daylight, and the
April sun shone clear and warm all day.
In the Arkansas Valley farmers were
blowing in the fields, while along the
divide and on the Ration Pass men were
digging out the drifts which filled the
cuts to the very top. The force of the
wind was so great that the moist snow
packed almost as solid as ice. The Den
Yer and Rio Grande was the only road
10 experience annoyance to-day, due to
the repeated derailing of engines while
bucking the drifts, but traffic was fully
resumed after twenty-four hours delay.
The AtchisOn was clear on it's Colorado
line early in the day, but down in Ration
Mountain more time was required in
breaking through the drifts. The snow
fall was not heavy, and it will be en-
tirely gone before tomorrow No de-
lays were experienced in the other
mountain districts. All traffic was re-
Sumed tonight on all roads.

NEW YORK, April 13.-A special

and party arrived at the Grand Central
depot from Albany about 6 o'clock this
evening. The run from Albany was
without incident. At West Point the
military academy was pointed out to
the Count, and he recalled General
Grants visit to Japan, and spoke feel
ingly Of the great Commander-in-
Chief. The speed of the train was
considerable source Of wonder to the
party.
At the Grand Central depot a party
Of about 800 welcomed the guests and
they were driven to the Waldorf Hotel,
where apartments had been secured for
them.
Shortly after leaving Albany the
Marshal said to the United Press rep
resentatiye: when l came to Amer
lea before I felt that l was among
strangers; now I feel that 1 am in a
country where friends welcome with
wide-open arms. Instead of travelling
as an unknown stranger 1 have been
made to feel that 1 am indeed a well
come friend. How gratifying this is to
me no words of mine can express. The
depth of my appreciation neither can
words speak But I do not see that /
deserve the honors so lavishly showered
upon me. 1 have done my duty only

great fight and won. In common with
all my countrymen, 1 rejoice over the
