SHOPPING
How 1t IS Done Sue
eessfully By Mail.
Per-! ! s0nsal Attention.
Makes 1t Easy.

A Little More About the way
Harris Emery Co. Handle
Mail Orders.
Last week we talked a
little BIT about the way
Harris Emery Co. Of Des
Moines take care Of sam
pie orders, but mailing
sample orders is only a
small part Of the handling
Of mail orders for dress
goods, etc, with perfect
satisfaction to the pur-
chaser.
After samples have
been sent out and you
have had the opportunity
TO Judge what you want
and you have sent in an
order on the neat order
blanks prepared for the
purpose, the thoughtful
ness Of the Harris Emery
Co. is again manifest.
When your order is re-
ceived in the house a
young woman Of taste
and discernment takes
your crdsr and goes with
it to all the various coun-
tiers where il is necessary
TO purchase the goods or
dered BY you; buys them
Just as carefully as you
would buy them for your
self. She doesn't permit
over jealous statesmen to
press upon her goods con-
trary to your order, nor
goods that would be Of
indifferent value to you,
but buys just what you
want. Of course, it is
sometimes true that what
you ordered IS not in stock
and not to Be had in the
store, but in such cases
she goes to every other
store in Des Moines and
. to the competing stores to
supply what you have or
dered. Finally, if the
! goods you ordered are
not to Be had in the city,
she may send you the
nearest thing we have to
ii, but always with the
privilege Of reforming it
at the expense Of the firm.
if it is not satisfactory in
every way.
hen there is another
little thing about shopping
by mail satisfactorily and
we have thought Of that,
too. It is frequently true
that you do not know
what is likely to be the.
most fashionable in color
ing, weave or style Of
makeup. We employ.
the most advanced Paris
ian dressmakers. Three.
from our force are now in
Paris, France, looking Up
all the very latest wink
les in style Of cloth, color
ings and cut. If you will
advise Of your height,
style Of figure and COM
plexion, the services Of
the Partisan dressmakers
are at your command.
They will be glad to ad-
wise you just how to COM
bine the cloth and color
ings that will produce the
most charming effect.
IL IS also to &c noted as
a part Of the. Harris En-
cry system that when
your purchases amount to
SIS or over express charges
are prepaid, 50 the goods
cost you no more than
the prices charged to the

lived on what is known, az the former
Hubbard place, just east of the limits of
Cedar Falls. He met with an accident
about a year ago in runaway, and
never entirely recovered from the In
juries received at that time, and there is
little doubt but what his death is trace
able to that unfortunate circumstance.
He. leaves a wife, but no children. His
last illness extended over period of
about two months.
Mr.. Bailey was quite we'll known in
Waterloo, where he used to make fire..
quent trips before the accident spoken
of above. He was universally respected.
az a man of strict integrity. Az a
reighbor and friend he was very much
esteemed, and the many acts of kind
ness which his great heart prompted
{ will be a pleasant remembrance for the
friends who mourn his death. He was a
most congenial companion and. in every
Way model citizen-true, honest and
Industrious. The remains Were taken
to Missouri last night for interment.

seems Hamilton represented himself to
be tire agent Of the Southern Art League

vance as an act Of good faith on the part
of the applicant
He did good business for a while,
TIL one of his dupes became suspicious
and had him arrested on the charge OF
obtaining money under false pretences.
During the meantime Mr.. ]. D. Beal
was sent to Richmond to investigate the
matter. He visited No. Broad street,
which Hamilton represented to be his
place of business. but found only rail-
road offices and other property. In COM
pany with the chief-of-Dolice he said he
made thorough search. but nothing
whatever could be learned of any such
firm as Hamilton pretended to represent.
The prisoner was bound over TO court,
which meets next week.
