Concerning Corsets

At this time of year people
60 not care for high priced
corsets. They prefer to have
two or three pairs Tor the
price OF one, and if one pair
becomes soiled or over
touched with perspiration
they can throw them away or
an uncostly, fresh, clean pair
We never enter into a contest
for mere cheapness, but we
are always quick to see and
seize opportunities to get
goods of real value at off
prices.
Today we shall sell some
of the very popular ?. & N.
corsets for soc that were made
to sell for $3.50. They are
made of figured batiste with
straight front and bias gore.
They will go on the Main
Aisle AMI will probably sell
in a few hours. The regular
assortment of finer corsets is
in the corset quarters at the
head Of TIE stairs over the
Waiting Room. The Lillian
is here OF latest shapes from
$3.50 up to S25. There is
nothing in corsets that is not
to be found in the various
models OF the Lillian.

Spectacles

The days are getting
shorter more of us cluster
about the lamp, at night, and
read. And reading at night
is hard on the eyes. If you
have the slightest sensation
OF dullness, ii things are
blurred, and your eyes don't
move as quickly as you think
they should, perhaps you
need glasses.
We make no charge for
testing your eyes.

DIED FROM HYDRoPHoRIA.
Playing With Puppy Cost Jay Con-
ley His Life.


Elk City. o. T., April s--The Recorder
has this pathetic story: One OF the sad
dest events that we have been called
upon to chronicle in the history Of this
paper, is the death Of one of our young
men, Jay Conley, caused by hydrophobia.
which occurred last Sunday morning az
ter several hours of terrible suffering.
Jay was about seventeen years old and
came to this point of Oklahoma about
year ago from Kentucky. He has been
living in and near Elk City during the
past winter, attending school most Of the
time. About two months ago he, and
other boys were teasing stray puppy on
the school grounds and several OF them
We're slightly bitten, Jay receiving the
most severe bite, but one that was con-
sidered OF no consequence. Last Satur-
day evening he became I'll, and Or. Wat
son and others were called and did all
that was possible TO relieve the sufferer,
but to no avail. Jay was a young man
of lively, joyous disposition and his terri
bic death has cast a gloom over the
school where he was a general favorite.
The others who were slightly bitten
have shown no Agns OF Illness and it is
generally believed that no serious results
viii follow.
