SALES EVENTS

During the last few weeks our
buyers have been particularly fortu=
nate in securing some VERY
SPECIAL VALUES. The amount
of these purchases is large, and
we have thought best to dispose
of them i'm one evening sale. AS many
of the items are for men, this will give
an opportunity for those who cannot
attend a sale in the day time to share
in this evening event. If you will
read the descriptions of the items as
given below you will see at once that
the goods to be sold are not only de-
sirabie in character but that the

Weather Crop Bulletin.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, April IL.

Compared with last year the
season for beginning seeding and
other farm operations is about
three weeks late; and it is fully
two weeks later than the average
of the past ten years.
Winter conditions prevailed
through the month of March, and
until about the close of the first
week in April. At the central
station the daily mean tempera-
ture of the past week was about
8 degrees below normal; and at
Keokuk the average deficiency
was l6 degrees for the week end
ing the Sth inst. Under these
conditions the frost in the soil is
receding very slowly, and the
surface has been generally too
wet for field work. In some of
the counties in the central section
a beginning has been made in
seeding on dry ridges and we'll
drained fields. With favorable
conditions fair start in that line
will be made the coming week.
The fields of winter wheat have
not as yet shown signs of life, and
it is is believed that the llts sown
wheat is about all killed. The
early sown fields have also suf-
fered material damage. Last
years seeding of clover has been
badly injured in all sections. LESS
hardy varieties of fruit have been
considerably injured.
The consumption of grain and
forage during the past winter has
been much greater than usual.

found it necessary to take five
stitches in the wound in order to
close it.

Mix Up at the "Y'.

Saturday night, a mix up oc-
Cured at the "Y" resort south of
town, and as result, one young
man, q resident of this city has
two long, deep knife wounds in
his right side, a farm hand is
minus a finger, amputated by
another mans teeth, and several
others who participated in the
festivities, have black eyes OF
bruised heads.
The fight which was very bit
ter one, was the elimination of a
strife which has existed for several
months between two factions, one
composed of boys living in this
city, and the other of young farm
hands, whose custom it is to
come tothe city every Saturday
and after filling up with booze
hunt for a fight. Saturday, as
usual the farm hands came to
town; each in the course of time
succeeded in heaving aboard a
most elegant cargo, and about Ii
O'Clock they started out to hunt
or make trouble. As usual they
proceeded straightway to the "Y''
where they had been preceded by
the crowd Of town boys, who also
carried quite respectable packages
Soon q row started between the
factions, and a farmer drawing 8
knife, attempted to carve some
one. This was the signal for q
general outbreak. Knives, clubs
chairs or anything which would
assist in making someone else un-
comfortable were brought into
play with the above result.
