$80O,OOO Worth of Furniture Going for $500OOO

There IS some Of every kind Of furniture
10y hat, including parlor, bedroom, library,
dining-room, kitchen and individual pieces
But the prices range from IS per cent to
SO per cent. off.
Forty-four reliable makers that we buy
from regularly supplied us with $500, 900
worth, at from 50 to IS per cent. discount.
And this was not all that we bought for the
sale. Besides, most of our regular stock
goes in at reduced prices.
Most of the furniture is identical with what
we have had on our floor during the season
-the very best that we can find the world
over.
That which we bought at IS per cent off
is in unbroken lots, and therefore more de-
sirable. For instance: \ bedroom suit with
the bed bureau, vashstand and DRESSING
table all matching is more desirable to us,
and to the maker, than another suit with a
dressing table or bureau, or some other i'm
portant piece, missing Some of the suits
have no beds, for instance, and that accounts
tor the difference in the prices.
The 5000 iron beds, trimmed with brass,
changed his plans regarding the height of the
posts He is going to make the posts four
inches higher than last year. 1t is a whim
of his. These were in his way, and we took
all he had
Some of the office furniture is a third off;
some is only IS per cent. off. This is &C
counted for by the style.
Bmkhrrv IS same Of every kind Of /11wI-
tire mc/UnIng barl0y, bed>v0m, library, dluius-

PRICE The fact that we are able to take the
entire surplus stock Of a maker, brings us,
very often, what nobody else can buy.
With the outlet of our two stores, and the
confidence and good will that we enjoy, we
are able to handle this vast quantity Of stuff

-ncarIy million dollars worth-whcrc no
other store in the country could do it. A
maker would rather sell us his entire surplus
at half than to pcddlc it out here and there
and everywhere at only a quarter off.
There are two chief $hings to remember.
The furniture is, every bit of it, made by old
friends of ours makers we have tried and
found true; men who put into their furniture
the best wood, the best glue, the best screws,
the best work. All of them our regular
Makers
And the other That no matter what you
buy, when you get it home and look it over,
good than you expected, we would rather
have it back, and give you back your money,
than have you keep it and feel the least bit
dissatisfied We will not have in the sale
anything we can't fully guarantee This fur
niture sale is to make us friends. Poor fur
niturc wouldn't do that
If it is more convenient for you to buy
now and have the furniture delivered in
October we shall be glad to do that
Or, if you would rather have the furniture
charged on your August bill, we should be
glad to do that So far as possible every
thing will be delivered in perfect condition.
If it is not perfect have us come for it and
make it right.
The people who are most interested in this
sale are;
Housekeepers,
Young married folks
Hotel and boarding house people,
Men with offices,
College men and women,
And people in lodges and clubs
Besides all the furniture that we bought
for the sale, we have marked down every
piece of our own furniture that is at all
similar

NEW YORK GAMBLERS COMING
WEST.

Apropos to the raid of the police on
the gamblers of New York a dispatch
from the metropolis says:
LAS a result of this radical policy an
other exodus of gamblers began this
morning and many well known faces were
turned westward in search of fresh and
better protected pastures. One party left
tonight for Pittsburg. A detective in the
tenderloin precinct. who has kept track
of the absent 'notables,' tells me that
three proprietors who were advised, over
a week ago, to disappear temporarily,
for the good of their health, are in Pitts
Cleveland. Commissioner Murphy says
the Tenderloin must be cleaned up and
that the big houses must 60"

animation of some of the tables taken
in the New York raids shows that an
ingenious method of attaining that re-
suit has been found. The accidental
breaking Of one of the tables revealed
the secret. The device Is thus de-
scribed:
1T was found that a rubber tube ran
from the edge of the table, where it end
ed in an air bulb. to an outlet at the
edge of the wheel in which is the groove
for the ball. The entire device was sunk,
so as to be invisible. If the ball showed
a disposition to drop near the numbers
on which there was heavy playa pres
sure by the operator on the air bulb pro-
duced a jet of air directly behind the ball,
which drove 1t further around to a point
beyond the dangerous numbers. and it
would then fall of it's own weight into a
place of safety.
This device made it almost impossible
for a player to win"
This is the sort of skin-game artists
now on their way westward. They
