Sale of a Bankrupt
Stock of Shoes and
Rubbers.
We have bought of Frank
E. Carpenter, assignee of the
Merrick & Brown shoe busi-
ness, the entire stock of
Mems, Misses Boys and
Children's Shoes and Rub
bers, and will proceed to dis
pose of them at Bankrupt
Prices.
Messrs. Merrick & Brown
were in business but a little
more than a year, so that the
stock is all, of course, of a
very high order; so high in
deed, most of the goods being
this seasons styles, that nearly
all could be placed in our reg
ular stock and sold at usual
prices. But that is not our
way-as we buy, so we sell.
The whole stock must be
cleared out at once-not a
vestage of it will be allowed
to remain in the store.

GERMAN PRESS COMMENT.
Great Stress Laid On the Magnitude
of German Interests.

Berlin, Jan. 2O.-The National lei
tung, today. referring to the trouble
in Samoa says: The untenable char
acter of the existing conditions at
Samoa has been again demonstrated.
Further information regarding the
latest conflict between the German and
the British and American officials must
be awaited. but it is clear that in con-
sequence of the joint dominion of the
three powers the seeds of conflict are
always present, to the dangerous ma
ture OF which the limited extent Of
American and British interests is in
startling dispTopOrtion.'
The Nossische Zeitung assures its
readers that the German government
can be depended upon to act correctly
and in accordance with the treaty
obligations, of course with due ap-
probation of German interests, which
cannot be surrendered"
The Post says: when the actual
situation is known, Germany will take
decision injurious to no existing
rights"
The official Reichsanzeiger says:
Emperor William received the Ger
man minister of foreign affairs in
audience this afternoon and later he
accorded an audience to the British
ambassador to Germany"

Tank Blew Up-Boat Was Torn to
Pieces.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 2O.-The government
steamer Pansy touched at Biloxi Miss.
this afternoon and reported finding on
Breton island a part of the stern of the
paphtha launch Paul Jones. also small
boat with bow smashed, and other small
articles from the launch. The condition
of the wreckage tends to show that the
naphtha tank blew up and tore the boat TO
pieces. The PanSy met the Maud with
Messrs. Jones and Taggart on board. The
latter visited the wreckage and identified
it as part of the Paul Jones' No bodies
We're found.
The launch had the following pleasure
seekers on board: Joseph BTinknan,
Louisville; Miss Florence Iasgart. .iaugh-
ter of Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis;
Miss Margerie Woodland, daughter of
George Woodland vice president of the
Prairie State bank Chicago; Colonel
Harry c. Yocum. ST. Louis; Mss Florence
Yocum. his daughter.
The crew consisted of three men, whose
names are unknown. The launch, which
was owned by Lawrence Jones. a Louis
Vile distiller, was loaned by MIN TO Mr..
Yocum.
News confirming the loss of the little
craft has been bought by oyster fisher
men. who have known of il for more than
a week. The launch exploded, they say.
on or about Jan. o, near Bird island. and
everything goes to show that all on board
We're killed at once or drowned soon after.
The men who brought this definite news
east Louisiana coast Last Friday they
visited Bird island and found the craft
ashore near the island. The hull had been
split IN half by an internal explosion.
The men boarded the yacht and explored
her cabin. breaking open the trunks and
taking from them lot of fine female ap-
parel and keys and whatever other prop
erty they discovered on board.
Although their discovery occurred
week ago the men did not come to
Venice. the nearest settlement. until to-
day, when they had 10 do so to lay in
supply OF provisions. In Venice they
turned the keys over to d stOrekeeper, by
whom these Facts were made known
The keys bear q tax inscribed "Fletch-
er & Co. indianapolis" The clothing
taken from the truk by the men is that
of Miss Taggart.
No bodies were seen by the men on or
near Bird island, but there is no hope Of
any one having escaped from the wreck.
The Paul Jones had two boats. One
badly slowed in, was picked up by the
Marie Louise of Mobile. The other, with
Paul Jones' painted on her, was found
by the Pansy off Biloxi.
The three relief expeditions ought to
reach Bird island tomorrow. Two so
from New Orleans and one from Mobile.
Bird island is merely a sandy reef, COW
cred by coarse sea grass.
