The fact that continuous advertising leaves an impress sion on the Public Mind is demonstrated frequently in our Store for example, a gentleman last Saturday asked for a Suit that we advertised and displayed in our windows some time ago for $1o.oo. By chance we had about four of the Suits he had reference to left, and as there was one that fitted him nicely and the price had been reduced to $6. 50, you may easily imagine that he left our Store in a happy frame of mind.

A Sensational Chapter at Valley
Falls In This Campaign.
Red Flags Placed on Houses of
Free Silver Advocates.
With Such Words As aAnarchist" and
Traitor on Thenn-Some Of the
Victims We're So Indignant
That They Adopted the EN-
blem and Let the Flags
Float.
Float

Valley Falls, Sept. 2.-The change of
the political sentiment from gold to sill
yer has been so rapid in this, as in all
other communities as to seriously
move all the advocates of the gold
standard, and the feeling upon the
part of the latter has penetrated to no
mean depths.
This feeling made itself known by
the placing during the night by some
mischieVOuS persons of red flags over
the business houses of several promi-
nent c1JlzenS OF this place who haVe be
come strong advocates of the popular
reform opinions on finance These
flags, evidently hOisted by those who
would deride the views of the free sill
yer advocates bore ludicrous and libel
olus inscriptions, such as anarchist!
turncOatI traitor! etc.
Excitement was high on account of
the occurrence. and the universal Opin-
ion was and is that it was manifestly
unjust and impudent to denOunce as
anarchists and traitors our oldest and
best citizens and business men simply
because they, after studiOus inVestiga-
ton of the very important question of
finance had honestly and earnestly ad-
vocated their candid views.
There is evidence that those who I'M
der cover of darkness, hOiSted ensignS
of disorder and crime over the quiet
habitations of peaceful and law abiding
citizens, soon saw the gravity of their
error and deeply regretted the weak
and Vuerile attempt to Wreak a low and
groweling party vengeance, and were
anxious to see the flags lowered and
their night work undOne long before it
ever can be.
Some of the indignant advocates of
the cause of the oppressed for days
left the glazing insults fiutttering in
the breeze, and boldly proclaimed that
if to study deeply the vital issues of the
day, arrive at conclusions and advO-
cate what they believe to be truth and
right, if it constitutes anarchy-then
they are anarchists of the darkest dye.

EARTHQUAKE DESTROYS IT
Japanese Town Destroyed and Several
Others Badly Damaged.

Yokohama, Sept. 3.-Much alarm is
felt here over a meagre report of a
great earthquake which occurred in
the northeast province of the main

The town of RukOgO has been en-

towns severely damaged.
Many persons are reported to have
been killed by the earthquake and a
large number injured while a multi
tude have suffered severe losses by
damage to property.
The provinces visited by the earth
quake are the same as those devasted

The other day Webb McNalI gave his
nine small boys a dime apiece and told
them to go buy themselves a Bryan

didn't want any Bryan and Sewan caps,
handed the money back to the old man
and are now engaged in accommodating
some cash of their own with which to
buy Mckinley caps. A man with a

ED MKEEvER's BROTHER.
Throwing Hot Shot Into the Ranks of
the "Shylocks."

James McKeever, a brother of z. D.
McKeever, the Republican candidate
for representative in this city, created
something of a sensation by a free sill
yer speech made before the Bryan club
at Valley Falls.
Among other things he said after
quoting from Abraham Lincoln:
Money spectators cornered the cur
Tency, drained the treasury and forced
Lincoln having read that congress
could declare war had also recognized
its right to coin money, and following
his advice $50, 000 900 in treasury notes
offered immediate relief. These We're
payable for all debts, public and pri-
Vate and bore no interest. They did
not have the exception clause. This
was in 1861.
In 1862 money dealers, in order to
create a demand for gold, induced con-
gresS to provide that Subsequent issues
should not be valid to pay duties on i'm
ports interest on public debts To pay
the enormous amount of interest on
her public debts the government was
forced to borrow gold A demand was
also created for the yellow metal to
pay duties with and the owners of gold
had gained an important victory over
the people"
In closing his address he said:
THE price of labor is being gradually
deprecated in spite of the influence of
strong labor unions.
But the time has come for us to call
a halt. and we will call halt and he
(Shylock) shall halt! and under the
wise leadership of one of us, who loves
