Among the hundreds Of special val

bargains that Outclass others, both in
their desirabiity and the sweeping
character Ofthe reduction.
Particularly is this true of our open

whether they should be included in
the sale or not but once decided upon
as belonging to the ''odd ware" class,
their cost or value had no part in de-

The Japs' deft fingers never
work to better advantage than in
decorating china. And the cheap
living and low wages makes it pos
sible for them to turn out more
beauty for less money than Euro
pean china makers. Maybe that's
the reason these goods are so cheap,
but we strongly suspect that our
buyer, who is now in New York,
has done rather better than usual.
Here are some of the things he's
sent us:

The increased price of the raw ma
terial does not enhance the price of
clothing in 4 similar ratio. Wool
now worth fifteen cents and shrink
ing sixty per cent. is taken as tho ba'
sis of these calculations, and may
very fairly considered as represent
alive or average quality. A suit OF
clothes requiring for its manufacture
seven pounds secured or II IL
pounds in the grease would be unus'
ually heavy; but the additional out
lay for the wool necessary to make
this suit would be only 81 more at
present than under the Free Trade
conditions of last tyear.
1t is readily seen, therefore, that
under present Tariff conditions the
wool grower reaps a decided benefit
while the consumer is not seriously
Inconvenience by tho difference in
in the price of his clothing. These
figures regarding the price of cloth
ing are based upon the suppositiou
that clothing has advanced in price
but other factors have been at work,
and the fact is it may be purchased
as cheaply now as under the former
Tariff.-Wool Cecord.

Congressman McCleary seems
to have MORALLY offended the edi-
tors of the Worthington ADVANCE
and Mountain Lake View, both re-
publicon papers. And all on &C
count of post Office appointments.
Without question Mr.. McCleary
tries to do right in the distribution
of patronage; but he has a hard
job on his hands. Up to the pre-
sent time he has been fortunate in
satisfying almost everyone in the
securing of appointments. It now
begins to look, however, as the riv-
or that flows on the greatness will
be full of snags, and if he would
avoid shipwreck he better hold
hard on the helm.-St. James Ga
zette.
Look here, Brother Nicholson,
havn't you tumbled to the fact
that the right which has dominat'
Cd in the post Office appointments
in a good many towns, is the same
kind that can turn the greatest
number of votes to Mr.. McCleary
when he comes up for reelection
If you have not we would refer you
to the people of Fairmont, Worth
ington, Pipestone, etc., towns Of
considerable Importance. We give
Mr.. McCleary credit for being one
of the "cutest" politicians in thif
section. and whatever tho county
bosses, who favor McCleary, say
goes, in the matter of post Office
appointments,withou much regard
to other people. You may get
taste of it before you are through

two years ago fixing things for

We know to a certainty that he was
here for that purpose, and it is be,

Why is it that the authoritative
