JOHN WANAMAkER.

Since 1878 there have been nine epidemics
of dysentery in different parts of the country
in which Chamberlain.s Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhpa Remedy was used with perfect sue
cess. Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost
rs severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera.
Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled
physicians have failed to check its ravages,
this remedy. however, has cured the most
malignant cases, both of children and adults.
and under the most trying condition. which
proves it to be the best medicine in the world

LOGICAL

The existing conditions of
this sale are perfectly reason
able. The statements might
seem absurd to the casual
reader. The following are
among the reasons why aoe
and not the sellers command
the prices
First Large manufacturers
are not infallible-they make
mistak es, get too many goods.
By placing all surplus with
us they concentrate their losses
at a single point, do not de
moralize their general trade
and make a profit on all other
sales. They lose heavily on
sales to us to make generously
from everybody else.
SeroN1. 1t pays to run at a
loss during a dull time, that
machinery may be employed
and an organization of hands
kept intact. This cause is pro
life in our furniture Bargains.
Third. Some Furniture com
panies are heavily bonded.
When short of cash to meet
interest it is better to financier
on merchandise than to bor-
row money. Thus come many
of our cheap lots.
F0W~Ah. To be represented
in our stock gives national
prestige to Furniture manu-
tacturers. To maintain con
tinuitv OF business throughout
the year some of the best man
utacturers are glad to sacrifice
on Furniture for the Trade
Sale.

DISAPPOINTMENT

When our announcement
of the Trade Sale of Furni-
ture was made just one year
since we assumed that we
would never again be able to
make statement regarding
Furniture of equal interest to
buyers.
But unexpected conditions
exist, and the facts of the Sev-
rnth Annual August Trade
Sale are far more interesting
than those of any previous
sale.
We announce more, better
md cheaper Furniture than
we did last year or in any for
ncr wear.

FURNITURE

The stuff itself is better than
ever before - it always was
good, very superior, high class.
But certain of the front rank
makers were indisposed to
place their goods in our Trade
Sale, glad as they were to
supply you through us at
other times.
That is now changed. Very
swell concerns not heretofore
represented have abundant
stocks in the collection, adj
mltted upon our terms, not
theirs.
The excluded manufacture
ers are numerous. Only such
as produce worthy and reli-

WORKING FOR M'KINLEY.
W. +. Curtis Canton letter.

one of Governor McKinley's most earn
est supporters in this section is Miss
Minnie Kiihn, 4 music teacher at Massil-
lon. Her father is Democrat He is
one of the oldest residents of Massilon,
where he has been employed in the shops
of Russell IL Co. for nearly fifty years.
Miss Minnie started out several years ago
to earn her own living. She went first
to Wichita, Kan, then to Salt Lake City,
and to Cheyenne, Wyo.. where she saw
women voting. She is not Il believer in
woman suffrage herself, but 1t made a
profound impression upon her, and, hav-
ing returned to practice her profession
here at her own home, when the cam
paign for Mckinley's nomination was be-
gun a year ago she undertook to inter-
est the women of Wyoming. Colorado,
Utah and other states where they have
the voting privilege in his support. She
organized q literary bureau and without
his knowledge or that of Mr.. Hanna and
at her own expense she commenced work
and, it appears. did good service. Now
she has interested her self for the prasi-
dental campaign, and with the co-opera-
ton of Miss Estelle Reed, Of Wyoming
intends to make thorough canvass of
the silver states. most of which have
" SeN, III OiucI "
hold the vote of the women for Mckinley
against the free-conage candidate They
argue that the women may have the bal
ance Of power in some of these states and
that the men committees do not know how
to go at them. Their work is entirely VOL
untary. Major Mckinley and Mr. Hanna
will not know of their plans until they
read of them in this column and they
are not asking for any financial or other
assistance, although they may call for
4 supply of campaign literature.
Miss Reed is superintendent of public
instruction in Wyoming, and the manner
in which she secured her Office demon
strated her skill as politician. When
she decided to be a candidate she had sew
eral thousand prints made Of her photo
graph. which represents her to be an un-
commonly good-looking young woman
and forwarded them with what ladies'
call "a sweet little note" to every man
in Wyoming whose address she could OBJ
tain. Cowboys and clergymen, school,
techers and miners, merchants, bankers,
laborers, in fact, all who wore breechcs
were made the objects Of this little at
tention, and the photographs Of Miss
Reed are now to be found in every camp
and cabin in Wyoming. and often the only
ornament there. In reply to her notes
she received abundant assurances of sup
port. which were not only verified and
justified when the primaries were held
but were supported by silent vote that
made her the only candidate before the
convention. and she was nominated and
elected without opposition. These women,
Miss Kiihn and Miss Reed, intend to car
ry on an equally thorough campaign in
favor of Governor Mckinley. particularly
among the women of Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado
