''If they're Rich's
shoes they're proper"
Ten-tWO F.

The time will soon slip by
when Easter will be here.
Then every ones thoughts
will be turned toward the
question of new apparel. AS
far as the footwear is con-
cerned, we are ready even
now to show you whatever
fashion calls for-the correct
styles which every particular
person will want to wear.
These new spring styles we
are receiving almost daily give
us Just reason fo- enthusiasm.
Those who have already seen
them are strong in their praise
of the extreme smartness and
exclusive fashion of the STYLES
displayed. We are quite sure
Our showing far eclipses any
ever seen in this city before.
The ladies' spring high shoes
and OXfords come in for a
goodly share of the admiration
and every woman should
get in and see them.
The swell young men of the
town will find Our stock of
spring footwear exactly to
their liking. We have taken
particular pains with its Sc
lection-and cannot see where
it could be bettered. Our
spring styles are without
doubt the smartest and most
fashionable ever shown.
The rest of the heavy
weights are reduced now to
make room for the spring
styles. $2.o8 now buys the
choice of any of the mems
shoes for which we asked
$3.50, $500 and $3.50 former
ly. And $2.48 buys the choice
of any of the ladies' shoes for
which we asked $3.50, $500
and $3.50. They're just such
shoes as will prove suitable
for the summers outings-just
the proper weight.

TERRITORIAL EXPANSION

The CAief Question Before the Missouri
state Democratic Convention.
Springfield, Mo-, August 10.-It be-
came evident early to-day that Con-
gresham Bland and his followers had
broken away from Stone on the
question CT territorial expansion, and
had declared against such a policy.
Before the State convention met,
the delegates from the Eighth,
(Bland's), congressional district
adopted resolutions favOring the
Bland foreign policy. This indicated
that a strong fight against Stones
policy will be made, both in conven-
tion and in committee.
Baldwin's theatre was crowded
when Chairman S. B. Cook called the
convention to order Congressman
Bland, as temporary chairman, was
received with great applause. Mr..
Bland went at once to the Chicago
platform, recalling the financial plank,
and declaring anew the arguments
with which the people are familiar.
This domestic issue" he said, must
remain paramount until it is settled,
and settled right. We propose to make
the campaign upon this issue. We do
not propose that plutocrats shall en-
tangle and confuse our minds with
foreign issues. We propose first to
make free and independent the people
OF the United States" (Applause)
Reciting the history Of past acquisi-
lions of territory, Mr.. Bland said:
But we are asked to-day to acquire
not only land, but people. We are
asked to connect ourselves with for
eign population unknown to"our inter-
ests and purposes. I don't want to
see this convention declare itself in
favor of annexing Cuba of Porto Rico
or the Philippines. At the same time
| do not wish us to declare in favor of
closing the doors to any honorable an
nexation with which we may be con-
fronted."
At the conclusion of Chairman
BANDS address, committees were ap-
pointed an da recess was taken.
Late tonight the committee on resolu-
tons agreed to a platform, which en-
dOrses the Chicago platform; insists on
the strict maintenance of the Monroe doc
trine; opposes acquisition of the Philip
pines or other territory in the Eastern
Hemisphere, approves the construction of
the Nicaraguan canal, which should be
controlled by the United States; declares
that our navy should be kept equal to any
emergency and demands that Porto Rico
and all Spanish territory in the West In
dies except Cuba shall be taken and held
nv the United States Cuba to be allow
ed to establish its own government and
to be annexed only at the desire of the
people of the island.

New York, Aug. 10.-A despatch to

beneath their feet.
The flames were eXtinguished after
the ship had been in port few hours.

BOWLING HANDICAP.

Bickmyer, the crack representative

by his, very clever work. He sent the
balls down the alleys with unerring
precision. and rolled up an aggregate
string, handicap included, of 564 pins,
an average Of 1SS. Deducting his han

averaged 10, so that Bickmyer fairly
earned his donors. Acker and Hazlett

additional handicap of badly injured

Reward
Vancouver, B. c., August 10.-A Ma
Mia letter dated July Is, brought here
by the Empress of Japan to-day, is as
follows:
There is great friction here between
Americans and Germans. TIE latter
are helping the Spaniards in the most
open manner. Dewey has told them
that if this continues that there will
be war between the two nations.
I'VE have come to the conclusion
that the Germans do not want to help
Spain, as they cannot afford to- They
have not a sufficiently strong navy.
They wish merely to obtain a few pick
ings after it is all over here.
"Spaniards looked upon the at the
beginning as their deliverers, but their
opinion is changing and Germany is
now not very popular at this place"

KEY WEST. Fla. August 10.-The tug
Uncas, commander Lieut.. r. Brainerd,
reached here to-day after an exciting
fortnight Of blockade duty on the North
Cuban coast. The Uncas holds the record
of the three smaller boats for continuous
blockade service and interesting exEer-
fence. She carries Cuban expeditions and
lands them almost under the ensmy's
guns; she chases almost anything from
raft to a battleship and occupies spare
moments by knocking over Spanish block
houses and capturing prizes.
On this, her latest trip, the Uncas put
ashore all her expedition for Gen. Go
nez and had a dangerous fire in her hold
just above the magazine. In spite OF all
this she looked none the worse when she
steamed into Key West naroor to-day
for more coal and provisions.
When the U.Icas left here two weeks
ago she carried Captain Stable, of Co
mez's staff, with six other Cubans and
FIVE hundred Remington carbines and am
munition for the insurgent commanders
forces The next morning an overturned
cook stove in the forecastle started a fire

party ashore without eIcountering a

Then the Uncas steamed toward Ma

Gay or two ago the Uncas was fired
upon. She was withmin two miles of the
shore when without any warning the sand
battery of six-inch guns began to throw
shells at her. Fully twenty of the mis-
siles fell around the tug within a radius of
hundred yards before she could get out
of range AS she steamed away the I'm

ward and after six Founders.
Then occurred a little incident Illus
trating the superstition of seamen. The
last shell from the Uncass stern gun had
just screamed its way across the waters
when gaudy winged butterfly, which
had blown off the shore, lowered over the
still smoking gun and settled down on RS
grim muZZle.
A horny listed Irishman who manned
the gun saw it, threw up his hands and
shouted TO Lieut.. Brainerd:
Say, captain, that settles it! That's the
last shot we'll fire in this war"
And there is not a man on the tug vino
is not thoroughly convinced that the but
terflys visit was a sure forerunner of
peace.
