WINDS UP
NEXT
MONDAY,
JULY 18TH, 1899.

That our Closing Out Sum-
mer Stock Taking Sale has been
a boon to the bargain hunters of
this section there can be no
doubt. Every day since we have
advertised our slashed prices the
same quality Of goods have stead
lily advanced on the northern
markets until the first cost has
now reached a price which is
equal to nearly twice our slashed
prices on all lines of our 1ner-
chandise. This condition of af-
fairs was something of surprise
to us and has caused considera-
bly, greater sacrifice on our part
than we had anticipated but we
had advertised to the public to
slash the price of every article in
our store, and JUST WHAT
WE ADVERTISE HAS TO
GO, no matter what the sacrifice
to us may be. In business, our
word is A FIDELITY BOND.
This summers closing out sale
winds up next MONDAY, JULY
17-the 1st day of court week

any of our patrons and friends
still unsupplied with our match
less bargains, they will have an
opportunity of securing values
up to the day and hour mention
ed above that don't come with
every change of the moon. Our
prices are cut in two, while the
New York markets are advanc-
ing every day Remember that
every article in our store goes.
That is what we advertised under
our first proposition, and no mat
ter what the cost or sacrifice may
be, we live strictly up to our
business announcements.
If you want Trunk, Valise
or Handbag, you will save mon
ey by buying it before the end of

or declined to do so, as Solicitor Hen
ry's endorsement on the petition is
to the effect that there is now stand
ing another indictment for similar
offense, and that shuford has been &C
cused of crimes of the same nature in
other states. Shuford is man of good
education and has a wife and four
children, but his heart seems to stepped
in immortality.

Beginning With 1896 the improvements
are all embraced in the macadam roads,
the total cost of which for this period
was $S,9l2.45, exclusive OF sewers and
curbing, an average of $2,22S.11 During
this same period (1S96 to 1899 inclusive)
the money paid for repairs fell below
that of the earlier period by very near
ly the same amount That is the av-
erage annual cost of repairs in the first
period was $5,500.96, and in the second
period S3,266.22, an annual saving on
this account of $2,23474, which cores
ponds very closely with the average
outlay for macadam roads of $2,228.11
This comes very near to making good
the contention that the improved roads
have really cost nothing since the av-
erage yearly outlay for all road work
in the four years of their construction
and existence is about the same as in
the years Immediately preceding
Hartford Times.

BLOODY RIOT IN ILLINOIS
Negroes Shot Down at Brush
Mines, Carterville.
OPENED FIRE ON THE WHITES
elimination of Long Standing Trouble
Between Union and Non.Union Min
ers-Militia Called out.

Carterville, ILL.,, Sept. la.-Carter-
vile was the scene Of u bloody riot be.
tween white and negro miners today.
Six negroes were killed, and one other
MORALLY wounded. Company q.
Fourth regiment, Illinois National
Guard, arrived here late this evening,
and will endeavor to preserve order.
Forty miners from the Herrin mines
left that place for this city this even
ing. armed with Krag-Jorgensen rifles
determined to assist the white miners,
should their services be required.
Trouble has been brewing ever since
the militia was recalled by Governor
Tanner last Monday, since which time
the white miners have refused to allow
the negro miners to come into town.
Today l3 negroes marched into the
town and opened fire on q crowd of
whites. The whites returned the ire
promptly, and running fight ensued.
The negi oes, closely followed by the
whites, scattered, some running up the
main street. the remainder starting
down the railroad track. Here the
worst execution was done. After the
fight was over, four dead bodies were
picked up. and another man was found
MORALLY wounded. They were taken
to the city hall, where the wounded
man was given medical treatment, and
an inquest was held over the dead ones.
Later, near the Brush mines, in anoth-
er part of the city, two other dead bod
les were found.
The killed are: Rev. o. T. J. Floyd,
Huse Bradley. John Black. Henry
Uranium. Two unidentified.
Mortally wounded: Sim Cummings.
Tie mayor has taken every precau-
tion to prevent further trouble, al,
none will occur unless the negroes
make an attack.
Superintendent Donnelly, OF the
Brush mines, where the negroes reside,
reports that the negroes are worked up
into frenzy, and. while lie is doing
all in his power to hold them in
check, he is afraid he cannot do go
much longer, and that unless the mill
tia appears shortly further trouble may
be looked for.
Trouble has existed here, off and on,
for over year. but no fatalities oc-
Cured until June 30. when a passen-
ger train on the Illinois Central rail-
road was fred into and one negro wo-
man killed. These negroes were on
their way to the mines. having come
from Pana. A short time afterward
pitched battle ensued between the
union and nonunion forces during
which time the dwellings occupied by
the union negroes were burned. Sew
are in Jail at Marion on the charge OF
murder, awaiting trial.

COnd emned to Death.

Washington. Sept. 19.-The secre-
tary of war, in response to numerous
requests, cabled General Otis regarding
the two men Of the Sixteenth infantry
who, according to the press dispatches,
had been condemned to death in the
Philippines for assaulting native wo.
men. A reply received tonight said
there was a third soldier now about to
be tried in connection with the same
case. and that when the court-martial
was concluded the papers would be
forwarded to the department. The two
men sentenced are Corporal Damphoffer
and Private Conine. The name of the
third soldier involved has not yet been
made public. The sentences will not
be executed until the war department
shall have reviewed the cases. The
papers cannot reach Washington in less
than 80 days.

London, Sept. 20.-The special dis.

reports telegraphed yesterday that the
Beers are massing artillery in positions
commanding Laing's Mex. Small Boel
attachments occupy positions above

The members of the afrikandeIbund

A Bloemfontein paper reports the
dismissal of several Englishmen from
the Bloemiontein police force, because
of tfeir refusal to serve on the com
mand.
The general apprehension in regard
to the outcome was reflected by the de-
cline in consols and stocks on the Lon
don stock exchange, where. although
all stocks continued depressed, there
was not the slightest approach to ex-
element.
The text Of President Kruger's reply
was issued by Secretary chamberlain
this afternoon. The language in many
places is taken to indicate finn, un-
yielding position. The reply, how
ever, concludes:
"lf her majesty's government is
willing, and feels able to make this de-
cision joint commission. as at frs;
proposed by Chambe lain. it would put
an end to the present state of tension.
Race hatred would decrease and die
out, and the prosperity and welfare OF
the South African republic and the
whole Of South Africa would be devel-
oped and furthered. and determination
would increase"

CUBAN CROPS FAIL.
Pitiful State Of Desolation Wrought by
War and Weather.

New York, Sept. 20.-William
Willis Howard. general manager of the
Cuban industrial relief fund, and who
has recently returned from Cuba, SAYS:
'Cuba is in pitiful state. Instead
OF rainy season, Cuba has had a
drought. Not since 1874 has there
been such long continued dry weather
during the summer. The result has
been disastrous. The United States
crops have been ruined. Sugar cane
has been so damaged that the crop next
year will be less than the crop ground
this year.
"The most distressing feature Of the
drought is the destruction of the corn
crop. Even under favorable circum-
stances, the corn crop would have been
small, for it was planted in driblets.
here and there. The weather bureau
reports show that the corn crop will
yield not more than 8 per cent. On
our relief farms we have better corn
than any | have seen in Cuba, due no
doubt to the fact that we put more la
Dor on the growing crop than anyone
else was able to do.
Business in the cities is desperately
dull. The hotels are empty, restaurants
idle and all small affairs are lifeless.
Large business concerns are scIaping
along as best they may, in the hope
that the future Of the island may be
definitely settled.
"In the country the desolation
wrought by war and weather still con.
tinues without abatement.

Reply Of Transvaal Very Unsatisfactory
Beers Moan to Fight.

y
Beers Moan to Fight.
London, Sept. 19.-The reply Of the
Transvaal to Mr.. Clamberlain's latest
note is said to cover nine pages. 1t is
eminently Of the negative and inoon-
elusive" character. which Mr.. Cham
berlain declared would compel the i'm
perial government to consider the situ-
alton afresh. 1t practically repudiates
suzerainty, reveIts to the seven-year
franchise. and declines to give equality
to the Dutch and English languages in
the volksraad. In short. it is politely
negative and defiant. The full text
may not be available for a day or two.
but it will not change the aspect of
affairs. The cabinet will probably
meet on Wednesday or Thursday to
consider the next step.
1t is supposed that the next move
contemplated by the Transvaal is an
appeal to the powers. Begging them to
recommend arbitration on the lines OF
the conference at The Hague.
