ALTERATION SALE.
Quick Sale of Goods ut The Meyer

Quick Sale of Goods at The Meyer
Store Monday.
What has long been in contemplation will
shortly be realized in The Meyer Store
Broadway and Washington avenue when
thoroughly up-to-date photograph gallery
and an entirely remodeled optical depart
ment will be installed. The photograph gal
lery will be located on the fifth floor, where
are now the stockrooms; the new modern
optical department will be located on the
main or street floor.
Work on the alterations will be started
in a few days and the firm was puzzled to
know what should be done with the reserve
stocks already overcrowding the stock
rooms. The decision was reached to sell
quickly every yard and piece of goods in
the reserve stocks, and it is the price
slaughtering on these goods that will Gre
ate the sensation among women shoppers
tomorrow, when all this new and fresh
merchandise will go on the bargain tables
at prices representing even less than the

space. however, became imperative with the

the goods must be closed out at once re-

how stylish 1t may be, to make the required

extraordinary bargain sales, but it is a safe
prediction that from n bargain standpoint
the Alteration Sale commencing Monday
will far eclipse any previous bargain event.

MAY NOT ERECT BUILDING.
South Dakota Commission Thinks
Appropriation Inadequate.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Sioux City. Ia, July 25.-south Dakota
will not have a State building at the St.
Louis Worlds Fair, unless the State adds
to the inadequate sum Of s35000 which has
been allowed the Fair Commissioners. This
the Commissioners will seek to have done.
Samuel W. Russell of Deadwood. S. D.,
Judge l. ]. Boucher of Eureka and w. B.
Saunders of AIillbank, the Commissioners
having the exhibit IN charge have met at
Huron, s. D., for weeks session to ar
range the details of the exhibit.
1T seems to me that with the size of
the appropriation which South Dakota has
made II will be impossible to construct any
creditable building and at the same time
provide an exhibit which would represent
adequately the industries of the State" said
Mr.. Russell South Dakota has been
classed with Colorado and California in the
tgoid group and. therefore, will have TO
compete In the matter of an exhibit with
those two formidable competitors. Califor-
mia will have about 500 0oo to spend on its
exhibit, and Colorado about $1,000. SO with
our total appropriation of only $4,000, which
will have to work hard to make a good
showing"
In order to compete with these two States
Mr.. Russell believes that he must introduce
some original features in his exhibit in or
der to attract much attention. He has been
in consultation with the Black Hills Min
ing Association, with which he is identified,
and has decided upon several original fea-
lures for the exhibit.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, July 25.-Despite reports to
the contrary. authorities here believe that
Japan and Russia are earnestly trying to
adjust their differences ana that progress
toward favorable settlement is being
made.
Information has been received that ne
gotiations between the two countries are
being conducted in both st. Petersburg
and Toxic.
The promises secured from Russia as to
the open door in Manchuria have done much
to make the situation less dangerous, and
the only point of difference now unadJusted
which is of critical nature concerns the
advance of the Russians into Korea under
the authority of timber-Cuttng concessions
obtained from the Korean Government.
One of the best-informed officers. who Is
thoroughly acquainted with the Russian
japanese situation, said to-day that he re-
garded the relations between these coun-
tries as not nearly so strained as had been
reported and in his opinion, neither Power
was anxious for war.
