Morning Shopping.

We would suggest te the city trade
the advantages of morning and fore
noon shopping. In the afternoon our
store is so crowded, that even with the
big force Of help we have, we are un-
able to wait on the trade the way we
would like to see them waited on.
You receive better attention, are
shown more goods from which to make
your selection, and are not crowded
as much In the morning or forenoon
as you are in the afternoon, you there
fore can make your selection to bet
ter advantage. We are always willing
to do everything to satisfy trade and
make them feel that we are anxious to
please, yet this suggestion we offer,
will be of great assistance to US and
also much more pleasant to you, to If
possible, do your trading early in the
day from now until Christmas. This
you will find applies to nearly every
branch of trade in Bellefontaine, but
more especially to the dry goods.

TO SET ASIDE
MOTHERS WILL.
Sllas and Frank kauffman Have
Brought Suit.
Claim the Document is Void Because
1t Restraints Marriage.

Suit to break the will OF the late
Elizabeth Kaufman was filed late
Saturday evening in Common Pleas
court by Silas r. Kaufman OF Belle
fentaine, and Francis s. Kaufman OF
Columbus, through their attorneys
Hamilton Bros. and ]. A. Price.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kaufman died Aug.
9, 1901, and the two sons who are the
plaintiffs in this action were almost
entirely cut out from any bequests, al
though the other son, William, and
the surviving daughters were left very
valuable property, the part Of the
estate given the daughters being upon
the provision that they will not marry.
The petition AYERS that the paper
filed in Probate court purporting to be
the last will and testament of Mrs.
Kaufman is not her will and the fol-
lowing reasons are given to prove that
it is void: That it was not signed by
Elizabeth Kaufman in the presence of
two witnesses; that at the time Of exc
cution of said paper writing, Elizabeth
Kaufman was not OF sound mind and
memory; that Elizabeth Kaufman
was coerced into signing the paper by
the undue influence of her other
children who are the chief beneiciaries;
that the said pretended will is in re-
straint of marriage and is therefore
contrary to public policy and void.
The prayer Of the plaintiffs is that
the so-called will be set aside and such
relief as is proper be granted.

WHERE
Has Mr. H. II. Parrish Gone.

When Mr.. II. II. Parrish sold the B.
s. B. shoe store. he took In part pay
ment, the colored school house and lots.
Turning other property into cash, he
went to Columbus and mortgaged the
school property, thus getting ahead OF
the Peoples Bank levy. A week ago
Sunday, having turned about $500
worth of property into cash, he hired a
horse and buggy at Zanesield, and dis
appeared. A letter was received from
him day or two later, by the livery
man, enclosing q check for the buggy
hire, and telling that the rig could be
found In Urbana. His family, 1t is said
do not know wnere he has gone. He
left debts unpaid, here, and some think
he doesn't intend to return.
Mr.. Parrish has lived here and at
Zanesield, some three years. owned the
elevator at Zanesfeld, the shoe store,
here, and bought grain and cattle.

Death Of Uncle Jack Wheeler.

Mr.. L. J. Wheeler died Friday even
ing, at his home on North Stanley
street. He had been sick for IL years
with dropsy and kidney trouble. Ne
had been at deaths door, it was
thought, on several occasions, but with
a tenacity of life that was remarkable,
he rallied and got up and around. His
vitality was exceeded only by his
cheerfulness, which remained with him
to the last. When the end came, he
passed away in an untcoubled sleep,
with his wife and daughter and friends
beside his bed.
Uncle Jack was a joviable, compsn-
ionable man, witty and humorous, and
very original and quaint in his express
sions. Had he been literary man, he
would have ranked among the best of
humorists. Witticism was not an eff
fort, but an effervescence, with him.
And he never failed to start the laugh
wherever he dropped into crowd. He
was kind husband and father, and a
man much respected by all who knew
him.
During the pastorate of Rev. w. II.
Hull, he united with the Lutheran
church, and died in full faith in the
Divine Redeemer.
The funeral occurred at 2:30 Sunday
afternoon, and the order of Odd Fell
lows had charge of the services, the
Grand Army and Knights of Pythias
organizations assisting. The religious
services were conducted by his pastor,
Rev. S. S. Adams, who preached an
excellent sermon, very appropriate to
the occasion.
The exercises at the grave, conduct
ed by the Order of Odd Fellows, were
exceedingly interesting.
There was large turnout Of men,
bers of the three orders.
Mr.. Wheeler was born In Cayuga
county, New York, April 6, 1928, and
he was therefore in his 74th year. In
childhood he came with his fathers
family to Seneca county, Ohio, Aug
ust 3, l849, he was married to Miss
Mary ]. Frich, who survives him.
Five childreS were born to them, of
whom Mrs. James McCoid, Edward
Wheeler and Mrs. Carter Wright are
living. John Wheeler and Mrs. Mari
eta Tanger are deceased.
Mr. Wheeler moved with his family
to Bellcfontaine some time before the
civil war, and he enlisted in the 12Sth
Ohio, and at the time of his death was
a member of Eugene Reynolds Post.
In 1884, NJ. Wheeler moved to Kan
sas, but his health failed, and he re-
turned to Bellefontaine, to spend the
remainder of his days.
Many will miss his genial face and
companionable ways, and he will long
be remembered.
The family have the tender sympathy
of many friends in their sorrow.

How to Make Money.

Not many people think Of the fact
that there is no surer way to make
meney than by taking your county pa
per, but it Is fact nevertheless.
There is no city in this section OF the
State that has dry goods stores equal to
Rellefontaine--in stock, style or prices.
Every man who buys suit, every
woman who buys dress or wrap, or
a hat, wants to know what is fashion
able, what is handsome, what is be-
coming. what is cheap. By watching
our columns you can learn this, and
when you come to buy you will know
where to buy and what to pay. The
bargains that are offered, of which you
can take advantage, will save you
money that will many times pay the
price of your subscription to the RE-
PUBLICAN. Watch our columns.

THE SICK FOLKS.

Louise Allen, daughter of Mr.. and
Chester Allen, is i'll with pneumonia.
Mrs. Elizabeth Downing had . seri-
ous spell with her heart, Saturday af-
ternoon, and for time it was thought
she would not recover. She is still
very feeble.
Mrs. F. o. Batch continues quite I'D

Unfavorable word has been received
from Mr.. W. W. Roach. He is not
quite strong, as when he left Bellefon-

shortly join him at Hot Springs, North

that he remain where he is during the
winter. We sincerely hope the meas
ures used may soon restore Mr.. Roach
to rerfect health.

shown that equals them.
In Raglans there are a dozen and a
half new garments yesterday that

lans are selling as fast as we can get
them. A special article in gray is
shown at s6.75. 1t looks just like the
SO Raglan, but it is not the quality of
goods.
A new line of $40 all-wool Raglans
are shown in Oxford gray and castor.
A new Raglan is shown in all-wool
with neat cape at s12 so.
Another line of S15 castor Raglans
shows q little change in the shape and
a seam down the back which gives a
better hang to the garment.
Our cloak department offers you
many advantages over other cloak de-
part ments. In place of Offering you
one style at $40 and one style at SIS
where everyone has to buy the same
thing, we show you possibly 20 styles
at 80 and 10 styles at SIS to choose
from. Where store buys one style
at so and one style at SIS, ard sells
the sa me garments the entire season,
ordering and reordering, you are liable
to see good many of one style in
town. So many that you become tired
of your garment. In this store, it is
rarely we recorder the same garment,
we want a cl a1ge. It's also what the
people want, you don't want to see
everyone wearing the same thing that
you are wearing. Especially is this
adhered to in the better garments from
SIS upwards. From sl5 down to S. we
may have three or less of the same
garment, but never too many to make
the style common. We solicit your in
spection in this department.
