peaceable and good citizen. He

Enterprise and Merit the Backbone OfthiS
Vast Business

The supremacy of this store is not
due to chance or accident. It has been
striven for. We tried hard to succeed.
But success here does not stifle effort.
We not only rigidly maintain the high
standard to which we have raised our
merchandise, but better it whenever
betterment is possible.
We improve as we go along-have
been doing it since in business, until
now. We place before the people of
Sistersville a line of merchandise that
has every fine point of good quality.
Even our lowest priced goods possess
exceptional good merits.
For Years This Store
has shown the largest Ladies Ready
made.to.wear stock in this section of
the country, and this Spring the stock
is larger than than ever. Only one
reason for this, the constant broadening
out of this business necessitated it. 1t
logically follows that our purchasing
power is correspondingly greater: Hence
our ability to serve our patrons better
this season than ever before. Nothing
startling about our low prices,any dealer
(even the smallesD can meet them.
Its i'm the goods at the price,
that's where nour leadership lies.

CAR FAMINE SERIOUS
MENACE TO ZINC MINING.
Hundreds of Tons Shipped Out OF
Joplin District In Open
Coal Cars.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Joplin, Mo-. Feb. l5.-Hundreds Of tons
of zinc ore, valued at 5000 20 $1,000 per
car. were shipped out of the district last
week In open coal cars. Never before was
this ore sent out except under lock in close
box cars, but the i~mposSiblity to procure
box cars necessitated first the adoption OF
cattle cars. the cracks of which were
stripped. and now open coal cars are being
used as a last resort.
Two points are brought out vividly. by
serious menace to the zinc mining Industry
and that the smelters are in very great
need Of ore. else they would not be send
ing 1t out without being locked up in closed
cars. The use Of coal cars only increased
the shipment of zinc ore 1888 tons, or about
four carloads, without which the shipment
would have fallen behind about twenty
five cars. The lead shipment was thrssb
cars less than the previous week.
The highest price reported paid for zinc
ore last week was $37 a ton for one lot OF
65 per cent zinc. the basis price being S2
per ton for ore assaying co per cent zinc.
Lead remains firm at $51 per ton. A year
ago zinc sold at S3 per ton top and lead
at $3.50 per ton, a gain OF "a for zinc and
$3.50 for lead.
The district total zinc sales for seven
weeks Of the year are less than the corre-
and the lead sales are less by 236 tons. yet
the higher prices Of this year caused the
value to be $10,031 greater.
Following are the sales Of zinc and lead
ore in pounds, and the value by camps, to-
gether with the district total sales and
values for the week ending February IA,

TRYING TO LOCATE HIS GRAVE.
d. A. r. Wish to Mark Resting
Place of Nicholas futile.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Macon, Mo-. Feb. 15.-In response to a re-
quest OF Miss Mary l.. Dalton. State his
torian of the Missouri Daughters of the
Revolution. an effort is being made to To-
cate the grave OF Nicholas Tuttle. the last
revolutionary soldier buried in this county.
Several of Mr.. Tuttle's descendants are
still living. and some of them remember
the occasion Of the funeral in 1850. There
was a platoon Of soldiers present. some
veterans Of the Mexican War and two or
three Of the Revolutionary War. They had
their old fiintlock rifles with them. and as
the dead soldiers body was lowered they
gave the military salute to his memory Mr..
Tuttle was 90 years old.
A wooden fence was erected around the
burial lot. and for many years the grave
away and new residents came In the little
plot of ground was neglected and the fence
knocked down. Finally. a German farmer
acquired the property and began filling the
soil. Some of Tuttle's descendants went to
him and offered to purchase the ground
er refused to sell 1t at any price. He took
the fence down and planted corn over the
soldiers grave.
For years there has been nothing to mark
the spot. but Marion Tuttle. Constable OF
Callao Township. a grandson Of Nicholas
will try to do so as soon as the frost gets
out of the ground. He attended the funeral
In 1850, and remembers a certain oak tree
that stood on the edge of the field.
Among others to whom Miss Dalton refers
and whose graves are better located. are
Bennett Tillsy; eSsd So years; buried IN La,
Township: James Fletcher. 50. buried in the

the county.

MAP OF SULLIVAN QUADRANGLE
Excellent Example of Topographic
Work of Geological Survey.


Washington, Feb. 15.-The United States
Geological Survey has now in press and will
shortly issue a topographic map of the Sui
Ivan quadrangle. a section not far from the
city Of st. Louis, including portions of
Crawford, Franklin, Washington and Gas
conade counties, Missouri.
The map Is on a scale of about one-half
inch to the mile. and is representative Of the
latest and most careful topographic work
OF the Geological Survey. Its scale is such
that all the roads and trails of the region
are represented. and even the locations of
the dwellings of the country districts ap-
pear, The principal settlements shown on
the sheet are Cuba, Leasburg, Burbon, Sui
Ivan and Union. All the boundaries of the
Land-Ofice surveys also appear.
One OF the most interesting features of the
map is the striking manner in which it
reveals the marked Inequalities Of relief
which characterize the region, produced by
the erosive action of a highly developed
and complicated system of surface drain
age. These are brought out by the use of
contour lines. or lines drawn through points
OF equal elevation at intervals OF fifty feet.
TIL map is one of about forty which have
been issued Of different portions Of the
State. and it will be followed by others un-
til the entire State Is mapped.
