ABRAHAM AND STRAUS
BROOKLYN, N. Y.
THE BEST VALUES YET!
Every Department Comes to the Front
With Misunderstanding Bargains
Prospectus for the
Fall and Winter, 1897

Fall and Winter, 1897
We've begun the Fall and Winter
business Of 1897 with every indlca-
ton Of a remarkably successful sea-
son, and the largest and most CON-
prehensive stocks we've ever gath
cred are here in readiness for the
foreshadowed activity. Every &C.
partment is brimful with the newest
and best. Taken in it's entirety the
vast aggregation Of merchandise IS
not surpassed by any like collection
anywhere.
We had hoped that the two adj
ditional buildings now in course of
construction would be completed
at this time. which. in connection
with the contemplated remOdellng
of our present store, would have
made an appropriate frame and SET
ting for the proper display of this
huge stock. Owing to the SubStan-
tial character of the buildings, how
ever more time is required for their
finishing than we had anticipated.
and it will be several months before
we will be able to announce their
practical completion. When ready,
We can safely state that Brooklyn
will be the proud possessOr Of one OF
the largest and best-equlpped stores
in the world. Every modern and
up-to-date appliance to facilitate
business and enhance the convenience
and comfort of both shopper and
employe will be part and parcel OF
this new and perfect establishment
This growth has been as certain
as it was gradual. Step by step
we have distanced all competitors,
and our supremacy to-day IS
evidenced by the largest business IN
Brooklyn.
We say this more in appreciation
of your great patronage than to De
boastful. There are no better Judges
of merchandise in the country than
the Brooklyn women, and 1t IS
naturally a matter of great pride
with US that our efforts should have
met with such fattering recognition.
It certainly indicates that our
methods must be right and our goods
satisfactory The policy Of looking
out for our customers interest as
well as our own, followed since we
began business in 1865, will be
strictly adhered to in future, only
on the more commanding and
broader scale which the enlarged
facilities and space of our colossal
plant, when completed, will permit.
But while the future is so full Of
promise of great things don't imagine
we are neglecting the present.
Our patrons hardly need the assur-
ance that We will moi permit ourselves
70 be undersold at any time. Quality
considered, our prices are rarely beaten.
Should by any chance an article Of
equal merit be quoted for less else
where, be satisfied that it won't escape
our watchfnlness and that our price
will Immediately be made still lower.

The wedding took place at the home

The house was beautifully decorated
In cut flowers, American beauties pre-
dominating. The bride was attired in
a beautiful lavender travelling dress
with hat and gloves to match, the
groom being dressed in black.
The wedding was attended only by
the immediate friends and relatives of
the family. Those attending from a

Of the groom, from st. Louis; Miss

White, of Danville; Miss Elma Sey-
mour, of Sturgeon; Mr.. and Mrs. O.

SOLDIERS FIRE ON A MOB.
At Urbana, Ohio, a Desperate and Fa-
tai Encounter Occurred-Attempt
to Lynch a Negro.

URBANA, o., June last night
"Click" Mitchell was sentenced to 2C
years in the penitent ary for an as.
sault on Mrs. Gaumer, a newspaper
woman of this city.
A crowd gathered around the jail
and all of last night its numbers were
being augmented, while the excite
ment increased momentarily.
A company of State militia had been
sent by the Governor to assist the
officers in protecting the negro.
At 1880 a. m. the mob began ad-
vancing on the Jail. 1t was expected
that the sheriff and troops would be
overpowered soon and Mitchell lynch

At a. m. the soldiers fred into the
crowd. Three men were hit.
AT 2:15 at least 20 shots had been
fired. Six or seven were wounded,
some fatally. Great excitement pre-
walls.
One man in the mob was killed by
being shot.
A man named Harry Bell and an
other named Hagins we're killed by
soldiers. Seven or eight others were
more or less wounded.
For two hours the Jail was surround
ed by bowling mob of at least !, ZOO

made SO close to the guards that they
at last opened fire on the crowd.

IT is limited that the eccentric EN-
peror Of Germany is playing deep
and diabolical game; that he is Sc
cretly encouraging Turkey not to be
satisfied with anything; and that he
hopes by this means to involve other
countries in war. William has been
in uniform for twelve or fifteen
years, and has been reviewing troops
all the time, but has not had an op-
portunity to fight. He is without
doubt ambitious for the glories of a
warrior. He remembers the COM
bative record of his ancestors and
would not like to allow his day and
generation to pass without something
to embalm him in history as real
military chieftain. He is generally
regarded as "spoiling for a fight"
For the sake of little recreation of
this sort he would even smite his
grandmother, a respectable old lady
who lives in England and who is
nominally Queen and Empress over a
lot of things she has nothing to do
with.

Wonderful Mirage in Minnesota,

DULUTH, MINI, June "A mirage,
showing two large bodies OF armed
men engaged in active hostilities, has
been seen in the sky east OF this city
by several different persons. PATROL
man Kashmer tells the following
story:
"About A O'Clock Monday morning
my attention was attracted by bril-
liant illumination in the sky. thought
1t was the sun rising. Suddenly what
seemed to be a large body Of men
marched into the illuminated space
and stopped. Another body Of men
appeared from the opposite direction,
and at this time could easily see that
both bodies were armed with small
arms and artillery. The two detach-
ments drew up in line of battle and
opened fire on each other. 1t seemed
as If it was only half mile away,
everything was SO plain"

MURDERED AND CREMATED,
The Body of Young Farmer Found on
Burning Straw Stack.

STERLING, ILL, June 2.-Thhias
Kaufman, prosperous farmer liv-
ing about five miles north of here, has
two dwelling houses about a quarter
of mile apart. He left his old home
for a new dwelling about a year ago,
but continued to use some of the
buildings attached to the former
home. Lately Kaufman discovered
that thieves were robbing his granary
near the old residence. He asked his
son George, aged %, to take up his
night quarters in the deserted home
and watch for the plunderers.
George Kaufman began his watch
two weeks ago, and regularly went
back to the other house for his break
fast. Yesterday morning he did not
come at the usual hour. His father
became alarmed, and started for the
old house to investigate, accompanied
by Charles Schrader, the hired man.
They saw the straw stack, which had
been nearly burned, and ON examin-
ing it found the charred body of young
Kaufman on the top of the stack.
The victims skull had been crushed,
his throat cut and the head nearly
severed from the body. A bullet hole
showed that the murderer had shot
the young man.
Several persons in the neighborhood
are under suspicion, but there is no
evidence to warrant their arrest.
No clew to the murderer was found.
Bloodhounds have been put on the
trail, but without success.

Ian Morris New Venture.

Thursdays National Live Stock Re-
porter, published in st. Louis, has the
following to say in regard to Ian B.
Morris, of this place:
"L. B. Morris, formerly of Mexico,
Mo-, is now connected with the West
ern Sale Stables Co. at this market.
Mr.. Morris, though a young man, is
quite prominent in the trade and par
ticularly in the saddle horse branch of
it. His duties will be with the "horse
end" of the firm to assist Mr.. J. j.
Searcy, on whom had previously de-
volved an immense and increasing
toll and responsibility. Mr.. Morris
will succeed in his new associations.
Leaving the country horse business to
embark in the wholesale trade at a
great market is not very easy ven-
ture at first, but he is under excellent
tutelage,n

"Easterly a Gay Boy"

The Mexico papers Wednesday
wrote up H. d. Easterly of the Wood
men OF the World lodge under the
above head, publishing letters from
his wife in st. Louis and claiming that
he had a woman with him in Mexico.
The papers show him up in very bad
light. Easterly is in this city and says
his private affairs does not concern
the public, refusing to make any
explanation.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 2.-The

Quarters were found there for the

moved from the State capitol if the
Capitol Board decides to give the
quarters now occupied by the minerals

are relegated to the second floor. Mr..
