GRAND SIRBET PARADE
Leads to Stralss's Store Where
Boys Whole Suits of Cloth
ING are Sold at 80 Cts.

Last year when the circus came
to town, the clown sang high
praises to my name and goods,
and above all my prices. 1t was
not because he loved me or my
business that he became enthused
over my wares, but because he
happened to drop in my store
first, and becoming interested in
my low prices and good goods,
"for a consideration" of course,
agreed to point out the path to
the multitude, and that path led
to STRAUSS. What was true
then is true now. We are told
that truth never dies. Now since
the same audience will be there
that was there before, we will
not require a repetition of the
remarks already made, and we
will charitably allow the "une-
quivocal Endorsement to go to
my brother merchants.
My business is growing day by
day and all intelligent buyers for
miles around recognize the fact
that I am selling better goods at
lower prices than any OF my
would-if-I-could competitors.
For Friday, the 10Th, the day
on which the circus will be here,
1 am going to commence great
BARGAIN SALE IN BOYS
CLOTHING, and here is the
slaughtered price marked in plain
figures
For boys two piece suits Of clothing,
to IL years Of age, at only 80 cents.
For boys two piece suits OF clothing,
to y wears of age, at only IS cents.
For boys two piece suits OF clothing,
black and blue cheviot, s to IA years Of
age, at only 81.
For boys two piece suits of clothing,
black and blue cheviot, to l5 years OF
age, at only Sl.25.
For boys two piece suits of clothing
black and blue cheviot, 9 to ID years o.
age, at only Sl.75.
For boys two piece suits of clothing
extra nice clay worsted, 8 to 10 years OF
age, at only $500.
When it comes to SHOES fol
boys, STRAUSS great bar
gain sale on circus day will sur
pass anything ever known to the
Yorkville shoe trade. Let al
consumers take advantage of the
occasion.
While it is my intention tc
make special drive in the above
mentioned articles, everything Ii
my store must go at a uniform
low price on circus day, and the
ladies and children are cordially
invited to make my store thel'
headquarters. H. c. STRAUSS

he Basalt Blocks to Be Removed and

Valencia street, from Market to Twenty
eighth, is down on the commercial chart
for business street, and in order to have
it come up to the modern standard it is
proposed to nave the old basaIt block pave
ment removed and bitumen pavement
substituted. In consequence Of the in
poverished condition of the street fund,
the property -owners propose to bear one
half of the expense provided the tax
payers bear the other half In addition
to this it Is proposed to discontinue the
use Of gas lamps and swing electric arc
lights in the center of the street. One at
each crossing will, it is claimed, do away
with eight gas lights.
BY figuring the expense the City will be
the gamer, as each gas light cost IL cents
per light where the arc light only cost So
cents, thus reducing the expense on each
