Shoe Department.

Our buyer, while in st. Louis
last week, ran across several lots
Of shoes, made and warranted by
the demonstrating Shoe Co.and
owing to the small quantities, they
were unable 10 sample them. We
bought the entire lot for cash, at
33 1-3 per cent of. These shoes
are all good styles and every pair
will be fully warranted by us. We
have just received them, and they
will go in our special sale this
week. We give below a few num-
bers that you may have an idea Of
what they are.

Michael's Klondike.

Michael cleared up $1,000 in ten
days in September. 1t was made at
Springfield by his record ride of ten
miles at the same meet, the great three
cornered race at Boston and the contest
with Lesna at Manhattan Beach. The
lad is one of the shrewdest men in the
racing game ard is saving of his mon
ey. He is now the wealthiest man that
ever followed the racing game, where
the wealth of the man is figured alone
upon his earnings on the path. He has
riding reduced to science. His body
does not move from the waist up no
matter how fast his legs may go. When
he increases, he bends a little lower
from the hips. New York World.

The Baron Refused a Tip.

The story is told of an American
who, on sailing away from England,
addressed the crowd at the steamers
dock, asking if there was man in tho
country to whom he had failed to give
a shilling as tip, as that was the time
to speak P D. Armour Of Chicago
must have had very similar expert
ence III Germany. He recently returned
from q summer vacation at Carlsbad.
Baron Kissimgen, one Of the richest no.
blemen in Germany and great lover Of
horses, was at the springs at the time
of the Chicago millionaire's visit. Near
Carlsbad the baron kept half hundred
magnificent horses. Mr.. Armour, with
an American friend, went out to visit
the stable. y custodian to whom they
applied granted permission. Can you
give us some ole to show the horses?"
asked Mr. Armour. The custodian look
ed about. Near one of the stalls stood a
plain looking man, and the custodian
said, ~ think he will show you tho
horses. The plain looking man did
show them, and did it well. He knew
the horses by name, with their pedi
grees, and he told all about them.
1t happened that Mr.. Armour always
carries in his coat pocket when he is in
Europe number of silver coins, which
he distributes among people who are
good to him. So when it was all over
he fished out about half pint of coins
and rendered them to the plain looking
man. The latter, with an amused sort
of smile, declined, but waved the Amer
lean to the stable boys as people who
commonly made small objection to such
favors. 81 am Baron Kissingen, said
the plain man, simply but graciously.
~ am glad to know you, said Mr.. Ar
mour mot only because you have the
finest lot of horses have ever seen in
the country, but because you are tho
first person | have found in this coun-
try who has refused to take tip. -

DAILY NEWSPAPERS.
Population Appears to Have Little to Do
With Their Distribution.


There are 20, 600 newspapers in the
United States of which 1880, or moro
than 10 per cent, are published daily.
These daily papers, however, are not
distributed uniformly throughout the
several states, and there seems to be no
clear rule for the discrepancies to be
found in some states. New York, for
instance, the largest of the states in re-
spect to population, and the one, too,
having the largest number Of newspa-
pers has only 1873 dailies, whereas
Pennsylvania, the population of which
is 1850, 900 less than New York's, has
POI. Missouri, with population Of
1900, 600, has only 81 daily papers,
while Indiana, with population of
500, 900 less, has 1877, yet the Hoosler
State, with Illinois on one side and
Ohio on the other, has not usually been
noted for it's public enlightenment. On
the other hand, Missouri has roe week
ly papers, whereas Indiana has 577.
The population of Massachusetts, by the
last census taken-the state census OF
1S95-was 1850, 900. The population
of California at the same time was
1850, 900, or just one-half. Massachu-
setts has long had high rank in all
matters connected with education and
public enlightenment 1t is the state OF
several universities, it is prominent in
all educational matters and 1T is one OF
the very oldest of the states Of the
country in point of settlement. Yet
Massachusetts has only IS daily papers,
whereas California, with one-half the
population of the Bay State, has lib.
These are some Of the discrepancies
which seem to require explanation
The distribution Of daily papers
throughout the country is in other re-
spects singular Mississippi, with
population of 1880, 900 and with largo
mercantile and agricultural interests,
has only nine daily papers, whereas
Arizona, with population one-twelfth
as large and much Of it made up of per-
sons wholly illiterate OF nearly SO, has
ten daily papers. Delaware, including
the thriving city Of Wilmington, and
with no foreign population numerous
enough to be considered, has the same
number of daily newspapers as New
Mexico with population 25, 600 less,
and a considerable portion of it Indians
and half breeds. There are only 10 daily
papers in the state of Tennessee, only
Is in West Virginia and 20 in Ken
lucky. But in North Carolina, a state
destitute of large cities, there are Fl
daily papers, and in Arkansas there are
&c. New Hampshire and Vermont are
neighboring states-their population is
about the same, between $50, 600 and
375, O00-yet New Hampshire has 10
daily papers and Vermont has four on
ly. Connecticut has relatively more
daily papers than has Massachusetts,.
Iowa has more than Texas, and Idaho
has fewer than any other state or terri
tory with the exception of Alaska,
though this condition may not be per-
manent when the belated returns have
been received from the Klondike, where
heretofore journalism has not flourish
ed. The United States has more daily
papers than any other country, but their
distribution is peculiar.-New York

and a study of the business In a
general way has enabled me to TT
those whose sight was failing be-
cause of advancing age (Presbyopla)
and those who were nearsighteo

any popularity of the sight existed L
was obliged TO refer the customer to
a city oculist. Not satisfied to do q
business that could not do properly,
determined to study Refractien. l
secured the best works on that sub
iect, "Hartridge on Refraction." by
Gustavus Rartridge. F. R. G. s., q
well recognized authority on Optics
and Refraction, and these l studied

tilted in making the announcement
that, am now ready to prescribe tor
and correct the vision of almost any
and all conditions of the eye where
glasses are needed. The liberal pa
tronage extended TO me during the
sixteen years l have been in business
here encourages me to enter this new

stewed Fruit For Constipation.

Children who suffer much from con-
stipation are often the better for some
stewed fruit in the morning, such as
apples, figs or prunes, and a plate Of
these, with cream poured over, makes a

and butter and coffee or cocoa for a

THE SILVER STANDARD IN MEX
ICO.

We consider the silver standard
a blessing for this country, and we
do not prefer the gold STANDARD for
Mexico. We do, however, prefer
it for the United Slater, for the
reason that our interests and our
welfare are now bound up in this
Republic, and it is to the interest
of Mexico that the United States
continue on ITS present basis.
The advantage which otherwise
might accrue to that country now
is commencing to come TO this.
While the one is standing stlll, or
retrogressing, the other is forging
ahead at most tremendous pace;
and that progress, though 1t might
not be altogether stopped, would
receive serious check were the
United States to make change in
its monetary system.
We found cur faith upon what
appear to rs to be substantial reas-
ons. We consider the silver stan
dard blessing for Mexico, be-
cause;
II is furnishing a currency which
is not constantly approaching in
value, to the detriment of all other
forms Of wealth.
1t is furnishing n currency
which cannot be cornered, man
ipulatcd and controlled by few
to the injury of the many.
1t is enabling The producing
classes of The Republic to realize
from their products more than the
cost of production.
1t is setting in motion the wheels
Of progress, and attracting to this
country, by reason of the immense
advantage afforded by the difference
in exchange, the idle capital of the
gold standard countries.
1t is the main and paramount
cause in ''1'he Awakening Of the
Nation;" in enabling her to take
IN new life and activity, in over
coming the effects Of ages Of OPP
preston, strife and turmoil; in TAX
ing her stand on an equality with
the nations Of the modern world;
in short, it is the main spring
which is setting in motion the
other workings. And there are
other reasons.-TRe Tro Republics
