There is a rumor prevailing on the
street that the sale at the Bell Clothing

These goods are all new. The best
there is in the City of Webster. No
goods outside of our regular stock and

SPECIAL SALE NOW ON.
Never Before in the History of
sary to Close the Doors
TO KEEP OUT CUSTOM ERS
So that Clerks Could Attend to the
Wants of those i'm the Store,
But Such Was the Case
this Thursday.

We were down at Calmenson's sale
today. The Bell Clothing and Shoe
store was packed and jammed to the
walls. We have never before seen a
Webster business house so crowded.
This is bargain time and every one is
buying Christmas presents, and judg-
ing from the fact that it was necessary
several times during the day to lock the
store doors in order t O keep out custom
ers so the numerous clerks could satisfy
the wants Of those on the inside, it is
almost a cinch that before the time for
the sale to close there will not be a dol
lars worth Of goods in the building.
Prices have been slaughtered and we
have seen such an opportunity
for purchasing all kind of goods in gents
and boys clothing, gents and boys foot
wear, gents and boys furnishings. Such
a sale was a revelation to us, in fact it
filed us with wonder, how in so short
a time so many people could be
informed and take advantage of the
bargains there offered.

disposal of the indictments against him
in OBrien county as head of the
Sheldon, Iowa, bank, recently de-
clared insolvent.
Mr., Brown, after consulting with
his political friends, says he has come
to the conclusion that if he should re-
sign his office it would place him in
a false light, as he is innocent Of the
offenses charged against him. He is,
however. out Of the race for renomin-

tercession for His people. We have
listened to these simple human con-
sIderations. We must now pass rap
idly to those that are more scriptural
and more profound.
AS we read the old Testament we
find her poets and her prophets pro-
claiming in estate song that the COM
ing Messiah would go up in triumph
and receive gifts for men: that they
should rejoice and be glad in His sal
walton. The scripture cannot be
broken. 1t is eXpedient therefore that
the One who had come to make the
Messianic claim should not destroy,
but fulfill, and ascend in glorious tri-
umph.
Again, it is fitting. according to
scripture, that we should have a great
high priest who has passed into the
heavens there to appear in the pres
ence of God for US
Again, it is eXpedient that He who
IS to be King of His people. to rule
and to defend them. to refrain and
conquer all His enemies must needs
ascend to His throne of the universe,
there to exercise His kingIy sway.
Again, it is expedient in that his
brethren might have boldness to on
ter into the holy place by the new
and living way, that He should ascend
and dedicate it for them.
'Finally, it is expedient that He
who has promised that His saints
SNAIL rise from the dead and ascend
INTO heaven should Himself conquer
death and give assurance to all
through His own ascension, that He
goes to prepare a place for us. and

receive us unto Himself.
