COUPLE OF BELATED BALES.
An Occasional Bag of Cotton Is
Coming In.

AS stated in the last issue of The
News every bag of cotton IN Dawson was
sold and shipped last week, and for a
day or two there was not single bale
in any of the warehouses of the city.
This condition did not last long,
however, as two beIated bales have
since come in from the country.
The ''oldest inhabitants" have
trouble in recalling time before now
when there was no cotton in Dawson.
The high prices have brought it all
in from the farms and cleaned out the
warehouses as never before.

There is perhaps no more adVant
ageous opportunity for the display OF
artistic skill than the arrangement OF
spring creations OF dainty fabrics and
notions for the renewal of the trading
public, and there is scarcely anything
more pleasing to the eye which loves
the beautiful than the looms spring
time fancies in all their light atrines6
and harmonious colorings.
This statement is fully borne out by
the opening display at McLain Bros
& Co.'S, which occurred last week
From both an artistic and practical
standpoint it was a success in every
sense of the word. From the artistic
viewpoint it brought an expression OF
delight and appreciation from all VINO
viewed 1t. On the practical side IL
was season of busy activity with the
firm who inaugurated it, and an UNI
questionable proof that that establish
ment carries one of the most complete
lines of any dry goods enterprise IN
this section.
Several weeks ago the buyers for
McLain Bros. & Co. visited the east
ern markets. They went there with a
view to buying the most complete line
of spring goods which they had ever
carried: with determination to spare
neither time nor money in accomplish
inc their purpose. 1t is not surprls
ing. therefore, that when they finished
their work stock of goods had been
purchased which would not only rival
those carried in towns OF equal size,
but would compare favorably with
stocks of large city stores. The hrm
advertised it's opening with the assur-
ance that it's display would score sue
cess. And it did.
THE WINDOW DISPLAY.
What used to be considered maCUer
of rather minor Importance has today
become a question of systematic study
and careful attention on the part OF
thousands-it is that of show-wlndoW
decoration. Mr.. H. H. Perry, who
has the arrangement of the display
windows in charge for McLain Bros Il
Co. undertook the work of decorating
them for the spring opening with the
artistic ability which excellent taste
and long experience give; the admirlng
chances which scores of people have
been giving to them are ample evil
dence tina: he did his work well. The
display window on the left contains an
array of spring fabrics 50 artlsticallV
arranged as to at once catch the eve
of the passerby, and, having attracted
attention, to excite desire to view
the many beautiful patterns within the
store. The window on the right Is
tastefully decorated with mems shoes
and furnishings.
LOVELY LINE OF WASH FABRICS.
As a matter of course, the WASH
goods line is one of the most important
considerations for the merchant dur
inc the spring season. The fabrics OF
this kind on display at McLain Bros.
& Cos. are among the best selected
and most complete assortments

ever that may be. The fact is that an

Next Tuesday week is election day
OF the municipal elections which Will

Here there are involved questions Of
greater Importance tina the choice OF
city officials. The entire nation IS
looking to the results of this elec-

may have great weight in shaping ma
tional politics for the mex four years
On the success or defeat of the demo
cratic ticket will probably depend the
selection of the democratic candidate
for the presidency next year. Should
Mcclellan be elected mayor of New
York it would almost surely place in
the hands of the democracy of that
state the choice of the party's can1i~
date for president. The defeat of Tam
many would be a heavy blow to the
aspirations of any man from that state
for the nomination.

There never was a more muddlad,
mixed UP political situation. While
the two candidates represent two DIS
tinct parties, Tammany n anti-Tam-
many: there is such a confusion Of
party lines that there is no telling
what the result will be. The BrooklyI
democrats under the leadership OF
their boss Mclaughlin first refused to
support the Tammany candidate.
Then they bolted M~cLaughlin's leader
