PROBONO O>PUBLICO.
Announcement Extraordinary From Fried
man Of Friedman's New Racket.

The public is probably aware that
nearly all goods are advancing, every
thing that we have to buy now, each
time we make purchase we have to
pay more for the same articles.
Friedman don't believe in that kind
of humbugs, there is no necessity in the
advance of prices Of manufactured
goods, for the raw material has not ad-
vanced in proportion, The advance in
the prices of goods by the wholesalers is
a fake dodge on the retailers to unload
their old stock at an advanced price. BY
the time the retailers are well stocked,
by spring, goods will drop about 20 per
cent ormore, so those who carry up full
stock now, will be compelled to pay an ex-
tortian of 20 per cent now and the one
who will open new business in the
spring will save from 20 TO 40 per cent
Friedman's New Racket are on to them
and will therefore stop buying and 20 to
selling
We are making full arrange
ments to go East in the spring
for an entire new stock. OuI
store is full of goods, bought at extreme
ly low prices, except few muslins and
calico, which we lately purchased, we
will make reduction on all lines ex'
cept few staples Of from 20 and 30 PEI
cent, on capes which we have a new
stock of 80 per cent, on the latest styles
of ladies new jackets, 40 per cent from
the actual sale mark, we will sell al
ladies fine shoes for less than ! OF whaI
it cost to manufacture them, we will sci
overcoats and ulsters for less than they
can be manufactured, we will make 6
reduction on all mems clothing OF q
per cent, on children's clothing 20 pei
cent, our reductions will astonish you OF
all lines Of goods.
For we are going TO unload, we mus
empty our counters and shelves Of goods
and II they are not sold fast enough, w
will use force to compel people to TAXI

the goods off our hands, those who 49,.
out to purchase goods and want ,o sovo
money, will be well repaid by comm.
first to Freedman's New Racket
Friedman has never had to resort n
the fake dodge of selling goods at cos, or
retiring from business, for no excusa /.
necessary II you actually mean businass
We never stop for cost but sell them.
Friedman has several times reiirod
from business without advertising ,ho,
he was going ont Of business. The ars,
thing that the public knew he was an,
of business, but you will find in severol
towns fakes and fakirs that are olwov.
selling at cost or retiring from business
yet you will find them until late a,
night in the sample rooms of the Drnr
mers, continually buying from whoeye,
will credit them. There are few Of
them in Salem, but you will also notica
that Friedman was the only one who
closed out those who actually retiraJ
within the last two years in Salem.
Although he pays an auctioneer,s
license, he has preferred to 20 idlo
rather than take fake auction sale
One more word TO the wise, do you know
what it means selling at cost? The man
who is able. TO discount his bills will
buy from 10 TO 10 per cent cheaper and
even get to Z per cent off for cash
than the one who has to sell at cost
and beg for 2 or months credit. who
is always at the mercy Of the house
whom he purchases his goods Of. There
fore, there are several houses in Salem
that buys that way and they certainly
sell cheaper and make handsome profit
over and above those who are selling
at cost.
Friedman has also the advantages in
purchasing and is about the only one
has purchased bankrupt stock in Salem
in the last two year,

lie also stated that inasmuch as the
matter had passed the courts, he felt no
inconsistency in calling the public at
tention TO another matter which he
seemed to think was important. II is q
fact that the prosecutionLrelied in the
last trial very much on the testimony Of
Portland detective by the name OF
Barry. The said Barry was not a wit
ness on the first trial; on the second
trial he swOre that after the defendant
had been arrested at the Globe by De
tectives Ford and Cordono, he went
down expecting TO make the arrest him
self, but found the man already
in custody; whereupon they all
walked to the headquarters Of Chief
of Police, he, Barry, being directly on
one side Of Mayors, Ford directly on the
other, and Cordano about two steps be-
hind. Now, whilst thus occupied, the
witness stated that he said TO Mayors,
"When you killed that man and snnk
him in the river, you did not think he
would ever rise" Where upon Mayors
answered "What! did he rise? When
did they find him2" Both Ford and
Cordano were Immediately present.
Neither of them testified to have heard
the language, or anything like IL; these
gentlemen have not been heard iron as
yet, but the counsel stated that Sheriff
van0rsdel, Of Polk county, has told him
since the second trial that he asked
Barry why he did not disclose these
facts before the first trial, and he re-
ceved the answer that detective y as q
damned fool TO go on the witness stand
The sheriff then asked him why IL wal
that Ford and Cordano should not hav,
heard the remark, and Barry answered
"Ford and Cordano went down on th'
streetcar, and walked down will
Magers alone. There can be no question
about the integrity Of Sheriff Vanors
del; it is strange, however, that h'
should have withheld this important fac
until after the second trial was over.
Taken altogether, the attorney state,
that he had entire confidence in the in
nocence of his client; that he believe,
public sentiment was inhamed on ac
count of the atrocity OF the offense; tina
II seemed natural that people shoul'
think some one ought to be punished
and perhaps, 10 far, IL may be'they hav
proven better case against Mager
than anyone else, but the circumstance
relied upon were altogether flimsy an
insufficient to carry conviction TO a rigl
thinking mind. The only consolatio
to be derived from the unfortunate r,
suit, II consolation it may be called,
that he is not the first victim 10 an uu
healthy and infiamcd public sentiment
