Wall Paper, Window Shades,
Paint, Oil, Yarnish, Glass,
Putty and a Full Line of
Brushes.

Yes, that's what you'll find at Dickin-
son Il POmeroy's store. In wall paper
we have all the latest designs and at
prices that cannot fail to please.
Of window shades we have large
stock, comprising all the best sellers, in
the most fashionable colors, with fixt-
ures complete. All shades fitted and
hung when desired.
In dry colors we carry in stock three
shades of iron paint, also Eng. Venetian
red, Bermuda ocher and Mexican graph
lite, which, when mixed with fine linseed
oil, is conceded to be the most durable
paint for tin or iron roofing. We have
all the fine colors ground in oil and
japan, Red Seal st. Louis lead and pure
French zinc in oil. And in mixed paint
for outside house work, we have the
justly famous Pitkin paint, manufacture
ed by the Geo. W. Pitkin Co. of Chicago.
This paint has been used in this city for
twenty years, and buildings can be
shown where the paint has been on for
twelve years and is good yet. 1t is COM
posed largely of zinc, and every practical
painter will admit that zinc will outlast
lead about three to one. 1t costs no
more per gallon, will cover equally as
much surface, is as easily applied, and
will last longer than any other paint in
this market.
In oil, for painting, we handle only the
perfectly pure linseed, and as oil is the
life of paint, it pays to use only the best.
Use no extra oil, substitute oil, Or any of
the cheap frauds, if you wish your paint
to last.
In varnlshes we carry eight different
brands, and all from the best manufac-
turers. Shellac, ready for use, always in
stock. Window and picture glass, the
largest stock in the west, outside the
large cities, and an endless variety of
brushes. Prices correspond with quail
ity of goods. Call and satisfy yourselves;
store open evenings until 9 p. N.

COST OF GOVERNMENT IN CITIES.

fair idea of what it costs govern great city like
New may be got from the discussion that is now
going on of one of the recommendations of Governor Ode
says believes the salary list in New York is alto
gether large that could be safely cut by the
legislature.
The officials, of course. do not agree with him. and
some the newspapers agree with the officials in disa
greeng with what the governor says develops that Of
nearly $9O0OOOO raised for the support of the
municipal government annually s4700OOoO goes for sal
aries OF this $82O0OOOO is divided the police
fire. school and street cleaning departments. In all the
other departments the salaries amount $150o0000 The
mayor gets $4,000 the comptroller $4,000 the chamber
lain $4,000 and the corporation counsel $4,000. 1t will
be that each of these salaries is larger than the
ernor New York who receives but $4,000 and Of the
of the United States the members of the
cabinet the members Of the supreme court and many of
the foreign ministers.
it is surprising that Governor OdeI who appears
to be honest advocate Of economy. should call atten
ton to this big salary list but what is true Of New York
is Of all other cities in larger Everywhere
the tendency municipal government is to make salaries
high as possible limit the responsibility
of officials the time 1t is urged of course that
public servants worth all they get and sometimes
more but how many of them could command similar sal
private employers? That is the test
public officials are seldom willing to apply it
