Left Basket and Baby.

A white baby about weeks old was
found Tuesday morning nicely fixed in
basket on porch on North Augusta
street. A drayman saw the basket and
noted the contents. He reported to
the police, who took charge of the
baby, and got Mrs. Smith, who lives
near the police station to take tenn
porary charge of it. The little fellow,
though half frozen when found, is a
healthy specimen. In the basket was
found bottle OF. milk containing pare
goric. Suspicion leads to woman
who got off the early wesbound train.
She had a valise and basket which she
carried very carefully. She asked Of
ficer Fretwell what time the Baltimore
and Ohio train left, and when told that
the depot would not be open for some
time and advised not to 20 there, she
replied: 81 know where 1 want to CO."
Every effort was made to locate
the woman. Meanwhile Chief of Police
Simpson is trying to get some one to
adopt the baby.

A Dazzling Display Of Holiday Goods.

A Dazzling Display Of Holiday Goods.
At this season of good cheer, when
our streets are thronged and our shops
crowded with eager purchasers, there
is no place more worthy visit than
Harnsberger's Department Store.
Situated on Main street aud in the
best business block of the city, it is
convenient to all, and visit it when
you will, the immense double store is
filled with buyers and the clerks are
on rush. The store is deep and broad
and occupies two stories, each of
which is stocked to the ceiling. There
is dry goods department, millinery
department, a clothing department. a
queensware department., etc., etc. So
that it matters not what article one
wishes to buy, from handsome clock
to cooking stove, there is a depart
ment well stocked with such articles
from which to select. AS a matter of
course there are Christmas presents
galore. and they are cheap too. So
small a matter as five cents will buy
some very nice toys for either girls or
boys; ten cents buys large dolls, big
wagons, banks. puff boxes, bric-a-brac
of all kinds; fifteen cents buys pictures,
frames, books, trains, very large dolls,
carts, tops. etc; rs cents buys bisque
figures, ornamental vases, napkin
rings, etc. In silver plated ware the
prices are quite as astonishing and the
assortment large Books, furniture,
clothing. millinery, and an endless
lot of other specialties, the enum era
tion of which would more than fill
this entire column.

Constans' resolution. All the embas-
sizes complain of vexatious interference
