INVENTORY SALE.
Howe S ststson's Wonderful Offerings Of Bargains.

Howe & stefson's Wonderful Offerings Of Bargains.
 On the second page of this paper will be found the second chapter of Howe & Stetson's great offering of rare bar gains in every department. Those needful of anything in the many lines carried by this reputable concern will
 certainly miss the opportunity of a life 1 time if they fail to take advantage of this wonderful and exceptional offering | of bargains. This is not a reduction
 sale in the sense that everything in the big store is reduced, because that would
 be impossible. but it Is an offering of
 many broken lines and assortments in every department. In some of the de- partments the stock is too heavy and
 there is necessity for reduction in the amount of goods in hand. Fall goods must be made room for, and there is in consequence a necessity of dispos- ing of large portion of the goods all ready on hand in order that this neces-
 sary room can be found. Look for the yellow tickets which designate the bar gains. In the upholstery department where curtains, cushions, mattings are shown; linens and domestics, gloves, faces and neckWear, shoes, hosiery, un-
 derWear. silks, dress goods, handker- chiefs, infants wear, stationary, jewell " and notions prices are slaughtered and the genuine reduction in prices can only be appreciated by a personal in-
 spection., .a .a.g5s ..s
 Beside furnishings for the house and for the ladies. who are generally the most interested in shop talk there are numerous bargains for the children and men folks. It is surprising how much can be bought for little money and it will more than. doubly repay all who call at the, Howe & Stetson stores.
 This is not a sale of a lot of shop worn articles or old fashioned things, but of real, live, up-to-date necessities and no tions which are the real thing. It will pay anyone to attend this sale even if there is not an immediate demand or need for the articles. The values are so great that it will pay to purchase them in anticipation of future wants and re quirements.
 This splendid and exceptional sale be- gan yesterday morning and will con- tinue until to-morrow night. Crowds were busy selecting from the bargains offered yesterday and the big store pre- sented most animated scene with the throngs of ladies circulating about.

STREET CLEANER ARRESTED.

Italian Struck Young Messenger Boy
 With His Cleaner, Inflicting Se-
 were Wound. gss
 A young Postol Telegraph messenger boy named John La Foe got into an arr gument with an Italian street cleaner named Gartano Cavo, at the corner of Orange and Court streets. about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Suddenly the sweep lifted his sharp iron shovel and swung it towards the boys head. The boy dogged it but it struck him just above the right ankle, in descend- ing, infficting a long deep gash. Par trolnan Foley placed Cavo under ar rest and charged him with breach of the peace, while the injured boy was taken to Dr. James Maher's office. Dr. Maler dressed the wound and later the boy was taken to his .home,s at 16S Ro- sette street, in the police ambulance. It was thought that the cord in the back of the leg was cut and that the boy might be crippled for life, but last evening it was stated that no serious results were feared. Cavo was released under s200 bonds. s -..

 To-day Holyoke plays here, and this promises to be the game of the week. vickers is scheduled to pitch for Hol- yoke while there is a strong probability that Dan Cook, formerly star Yale 5twirler, will be in the box for New Ha- ven. If Cook does not play to-day he will certainly be in the game to-mor- row, when Hartford plays here.
 Golden is rapidly improving and will probably play tomorrow. .....| Fitzmaurice, who has been out of the game owing to the serious illness of his wife, is again in the game and will play to-day. sr Mt .."

HOW PEAS ARE CANNED.

Processes in Large Factory in New
 York State.
 The season of canning activity at the two plants in this city and in others in surrounding villages is now on in good earnest, and from this time till the cold weather of the approaching fall there will be no cessation. The season for opening is about a fortnight earlier than that of last year.
 Peas are the first crop to mature, and the early varieties, commonly known as June peas, are of quality seldom equalled, and the indications are for a good yield. Central New York might well be called the home of the canning industry of the Empire state from the number of factories here. One of the largest. and perhaps the largest, is on

GOOD ROAD NOTES.
The Improvement of Highways In
Various States.

49,
Various States.
The council of Hammonton, n. j.,
has passed an ordinance allowing q re-
bate of 81 in taxes for each wheel on
q wagon having a tire four inches or
more in width. 1t has been found by
test that vehicles with broad tires do
not damage the gravel roads as much
as the narrow tires. and to make the
change popular among farmers the re-
bate in taxes has been inaugurated.
At Pennington, Me-, it is stated that
the ladies Of that vicinity, some thir-
teen in number, held 4 "bee" and put
piece of road Of about one mile in the
best condition it was ever in. 1t is re-
ported that they came early, armed
with shovels, rakes, hoes and wheel
barrows, and labored the entire day.
It is said that q woman surveyor OF
highways in that town is to be elected
another spring.
A novel method Of raising money to
repair roads has been adopted in Su-
perior, Neb. The Commercial club has
decided to get up a minstrel show and
devote the proceeds to repairing the
roads in the river bottoms which were
destroyed by the overlooking of the
Republican river the past summer.
The road question is being agitated
in Tullahoma, Tenn, and vicinity. At
recent meeting one farmer stated
that he had sustained loss Of $500 by
not being able to get his corn to mar
ket owing to bad roads. He thought
it time that they were improved. 9th
er farmers were. Of the same opinion,
and it is expected that the agitation
will result in improving roads in that
section.
Joplin, Mo-, has excellent roads lead
ing from it in every direction. About
$4,000 a year is spent on an average.
Some $15O,000 has been spent during
the past six years. The funds for the
work come mainly from the saloon
taxes, every saloon in the district be-
ing compelled to pay $500 to the fund.
Ten per cent on each S100 Of taxable
valuation in the district is the only
additional means of revenue. - Good

4 SPLENDID INVESTMENT.
Good Roads Bring Joy to Every Com
munity.

Good Roads Bring Joy to Every Com
munity.
Many Of US DO not know that bad
roads are responsible for so many OF
our woes because we have not thought,
says Isaac B. Potter. Some OF our
farmers are patient and many of them
are contented with these roads because
they do not know the value OF good
one. A good road is splendid invest
ment. There never was i good road
made in any civilized country on earth
that didn't pay 100 per cent year on
its cost.
a good road raises the value of every
acre, invites us to market when prices
are good and takes us out of the clutch
cs of the commission pirates who sell
our goods behind our backs at their
own figures, keep their own accounts
and pay US a pittance for our toll and
trouble. A good road shortens distance,
saves time, wagons. horsetlesh, harness,
increases the load and lessons the bur-
den and makes it possible to haul two
tons to market with the same power
that now leaves one ton stuck in the
mire.
A good road brings us closer together,
drives out gloom, makes neighbors OF
hermits, discounts every farm mort
gage and brings JOY and contentment
to every community. Imagine man
knee deep in the mud trying to look
cheerful.

UNiMPROVED ROADS.
How They Affect the Cost of Trans
pO-tation.

How They Affect the Cost OF Trans
po-tation.
+. H. Hitchcock, chief Of the bureau
of foreign markets. gave an interesting
address at the North Dakota good
roads convention. The subject Of trans
Dortation is one Of the most important
matters that have to be considered by
Mr.. Hitchcock's bureau, and in the
course of his remarks he stated that it
was of as much interest to his depart
ment to have the cost of transportation
between the farm and town reduced to
a minimum as it was to reduce the cost
to the coast or from Boston to Liver
pool.
Poor roads from the farm to the mar
ket figure in foreign competition, and
it is a known fact that taking the aver
age haul of ten miles to market at p
cents per ton per mile, the cost being
$3.50, the amount is twice that charged
for transporting the same produce from
Boston to Liverpool. Thirty years ago
it cost 80 cents for transporting wheat
from Chicago to New York, while it
now costs cents, and where it former
ly cost $40 from New York to Liver
pool it now costs $1.5O.
The cost of transportation has been
reduced very materially in every way
except from the farm to the market,
which still remains the same as thirty
years ago, and all because Of unim-
proved roads.
