Geo 81 Williams
MERCHANT TAILOR.

The artistic tailor and draper is
"a most important parsonage in
every community. In Missouri
Valley, a leading representative of
the art is Mr.. Geo. I'll. Williams,
whose establishment is located on
the south side of Erie street. Mr..
Williams has been in the business
here for IL year. His store is
very nicely appointed and he is
prepared to make to order dress
and business suits at reasonable
prices. He is an expert cutter
and practical tailor and guaran-
tees stylish cut, perfect fit, the
best finish and workmanship and
the quality of goods. A large
stock of woolens is carried as we'll
as samples, embracing all of the
very latest patterns and novelties
in summer suitings and materials.
by pursuing the method of carry
ing both stock and samples Mr..
Williams gives his customers a
much wider opportunity for selec-
tion than would be otherwise pos
sible. Repairing and altering are
done promptly and artistically
and at very moderate rates. Mr..
Williams is highly regarded and
those who have been his regular
patrons, sound his praises loudest,
and they are legion.

"KAsH' DEPARTMENT STORE.

One of the bsst and most prom
inent houses engaged in the han
ding of merchandise, is that of
Mr.. j. II. South's "Kash' Depart
ment Store. Able and enterpris-
ing and backed by wide practi-
cal experience, this house was
soon placed in a front rank posi-
ton aud large trade built up.
The premises at Third and Erie
streets embrace four storerooms
conveniently arranged. A vast
and varied stock is carried on
hand. In the assortment is repre-
scented all that is best in American
and European merchandise, en-
bracing everything comprehended
under the general heads of staple
and fancy dry goods, notions,
yarns. infants goods, clothing,
furnishing goods, shoes, etc, etc,
in fact all other articles usually
found in a store of this kind.
Only the best goods are handled
and such as the house can fully
warrant to be exactly as repre-
sented. Mr.. South purchases
his goods in large quantities, and
by getting all discounts off he is
able to give patrons the bene fit
by quoting low prices. Mr. South
has been in business here about
twelve years, has enjoyed a long
experience with his trade and un-
derstands thoroughly what it
wants. He personally looks after
the management Of all depart
ments and pursues the most sys-
tematic methods in the general
conduct of the establi shment.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last Few
years was supposed to be incurable
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing TO cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurab BILE Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F j
Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful 1t acts directly

Relative to the Sioux City &
Pacific Sale.

By a person in a position to
speak with assurance regarding
the subject, the statement is made
that the committee representing
the United States Government in
the disposition of the property of
the Sioux City & Pacific Railroad
Company, has received two propo-
sails for the road entire, but in
each instance the offer was below
the roads indebtedness to the
Government and accordingly both
propositions were declined. He
furthermore stated that little
doubt is expressed that the prop
erty will eventually fall to the
title of the Chicago & North
Western although several different
roads are casting longing eyes at
this desirable piece of property.
1t may be several months yet be-
fore the property is sold.

Q. b. Deur
LUMBER, COAL, LINE AND SEWER
PIPE.

PIPE.
One of the most widely known
firms in the above lines is that
of MIR @ FL Deur, at Eighth street
and the North Western tracks,
and his extensive business inter
ests have caused the people of
this vicinity to become perfectly
familiar with his name. Ho be-
gan here about twenty years ago,
and has steadily and surely built
up very large trade which ex-
tends throughoutsevera counties.
Mr. Deur is dealer of consider
able magnitude, and his spacious
yards contain vast quantities of
hard and soft coal of all qualities,
and the products of the best and
most famous mines; many thous-
ands of feet of dressed lumber of
ell grades and species, as welt ms
Hath and shingles; also quite q
general line OF lime, cement and
sewer pipe. Contractors and build
ers throughout this section look
to this house for their supplies,
and they fully appreciate the fact
that none but seasoned lumber is
ever furnished to them. Mr. Deur
is most capable and experienced
buyer and merchant, and that he
has succeeded we'll in his respon-
sible position, is best told in the
history Of the growth and progress
of the concern.

Lawn Picnic of the l. o. Club

The success of, and the number
who attended the picnic on the
lawn of Mr.. and Mrs. L N. Good
rich yesterday afternoon is p,oof
that hot weather has no effect up
on our fun loving people If there
is a good time in sight.
Shortly after 3 O'clock the
streets leading to Mrs. Goodrich 8
home we're filled with most dainti-
| ly gowned ladies who looked as
charmingly cool and comfortable
as if mercury was only half way
up the bulb instead of waltzing
around in the ninetles.
The large lawn had been care
fully prepared for their reception,
and after depositing their baskets
which were laden With all good
Things, the ladies arranged them
selves in congenial groups on the
shady west lawn and chatted to
their hearts content. About 6
O'Clock, much to the surprise Of
the ladies, several Of the husbands
who we're supposed to be at home
.supping on cold tea and cold pota-
toes, put in their appearance
dressed in their very best clothes,
the wonder still increased as man
after man put in his appearance,
until about several men could be
counted, in a short time the la
dies conjectured that Mrs Good
rich had invited the husbands by
way of surprise, this Innovation Of
course proved a most delightful
feature and was scource of much
pleasure to all.
About eight O'Clock sixty of
the jolliest, merriest people in
town gathered around the table
which was spread on the lawn and
partcok of meal which will long
4 be remembered for it's SYMPTOMS
ness and excellence.
Later in the evening the
grounds were lighted with a hun
dred Chinese lanterns, and made
"a beautiful scene. About nine
O'Clock the south breeze had rem
dered the house cool and comfort
able SO the guests repaired to the
parlors, the music of the waltz
sounded and soon three sets Of
dancers filled the various rooms
and chased the hours with flying
feet until eleven o'clock.
Mrs Deur, Mrs Jones and Miss
Ella Withrow furnished the music
which bespeals it's excellence.
Before breaking up the cake
walk was INDUCED in, q i Hop
l1ins was awarded the cake with
out one dissenting voice
The picnic party had been made
up by Mrs Goodrich inviting q
very few friends giving each the
liberty to invite friend, every
privileged one availed herself OF
the hospitality. The enjoyment of
the fete was 30 great that Mrs r
Craft extended an invitation to
the party to picnic on her lawn
on Thursday Of next week, if any
are not their it will not be their
fault.
