 H. W. Laskey & O., the proprie-
 tors of the new clothing house, To-
 cated in the Lawler block, have an ad-
 vertisement in this issue of the
 Journal-Miner. This new institution
 in Prescott is credit to the town, as it is handsomely fitted up and is filled with fine stock of clothing and all articles connected with this line of business.
 The Lawler block is all ready for occupancy, but a delay in receiving the radiators for heating the rooms has caused a delay in the moving in of those who have rented rooms, as there is no way of heating them ex- cept by the hot water furnace. Just as soon as these radiators arrive and are placed in position the work of moving in will be commenced. The heater itself has been placed in posi- ton in the basement and all connec- tions have been made ready for the radiators. The strike of telegraph operators has caused a delay in the | arrival of the latter.
