NEARLY AsPHYXIATED RY COAL GAS.
Mr. and Mrs James McEuen and
children of Wellsville avenue had
narrow escape from being asphyxiated
by coal gas, Sunday night. The front
door of the parlor stove blew open with
ed, and all quickly revived, with the
exception of Mr. McEuen, who was
quite indisposed for few days. Mr.
McEuen is employed in the store of the
Farmers Trading Co.
The popular firm of the @. H. Booth
& Bentl ey Co. are having great sale
on white goods, ginghams and lawns.
Now you can get the newest designs
and choicest selections and during
Lent you will have more time in which
you can make up your summer waists
white goods will be more popular than
ever. The styles are certainly prettier
than ever and very pattern is new.
Their stock is very attractive and the
prices very moderate. The black and
white combinations are held in great
favor, especially the polka dots and
stripes, and they are in vogue for
women of all ages. They have ri bbons
to match these, which are being ex-
tensively used for sashes and stocks.
The sales on ginghams so far at first
hands prove beyond DOUBT that this
will be a Bingham year. Nothing is
better for every day wear-for waists,
entire dresses and children's wear
than ginghams, as they wash we'll and
can be had in beautiful combina tions
of colors. The firm have a few trim
med hats remaining. One woman, who
is splendid judge of value, purchased
three of them and remarked that
"when you can buy three hats at the
price of one, it is good policy to buy
even for next winter" The price i!
what you have to pay for the work
alone.
