WONDERFUL SALE

Undoubtedly the largest and most
successful sale ever inaugurated by
firm in this section of the state,
was begun Wednesday morning, when
the New York Store Mercantile COM
pany threw open their doors to a
multitude of bargain seekers. The
doors had been opened but few
minutes when the interior Of the big
establishment was a seething masS
of humanity. Frequently the manage
ment found it necessary to lock the
doors to keep back the crowd. So
thickly were the people wedged in
yesterday it was almost suffocating
and there was grave danger of some
being crushed. Nor was this only
temporary but throughout the day
yesterday and today, men and women
and even children, congregated from
throughout the county to take advan-
tage of the unprecedented bargains
offered in everything from line of
drugs to suits of clothes, shoes, dry
goods, hats-heaven only knows what
all. The sale is gigantic one and
the patronage will be heavy as long
as the goods remain to be sold at
the astonishingly low prices at which
they are marked. Where dollars do
double duty and pennies do the work
of dimes" heralded the large adver-
tising posters and truth was never
more sincerely spoken than in that
short but significant sentence.
Not only was the purchaser afford
ed the opportunity of selecting goods
from the regular matchless stock of
the New York store, but the $40, 900
dry goods, shoe and clothing stock
of the Rachofsky store in Black
Hawk, which embraced the latest and
highest grade of these commodities
was added. The sale will continue as
long as the goods remain. Those who
put off attending until the last, of
course. will get bargains, but to get
the cream of the stock make your
purchases as early as possible. 1t
will pay you to make purchases for
Christmas.

occasion was the fiftieth anniversary
of her employment which in this day
of household complexities and servant
vel and such a record of fidelity that
the Prices made the day one of CRATE
full celebration.
Friends of Mary Grogan and friends
of the Prices came from far and near.
The house was beautifully decorated
and the Riverside orchestra of the
village made music while gifts and
praises were showered on the old cook.
From until o'clock a banquet was
with tears of joy, sat beside Mr.. Price.
Members of the family We'd with each
other in paying her courtesies and
everybody made it a point to pass her
something out of the many delicacies
which loaded the table. A cake,
adorned with fifty candles, and sup
porting two small Irish flags glistened
in the center of the board and hang
ing on the wall were old dish pans and
bread pans that Mary has used in
days gone by.
Mary Grogan came to the Price
family on April 5.1s59. and asked for
500 a year as wages. She entered the
household under these terms and has
never had raise nor a vacation since,
and but very few days off She has
never visited New York since the Civil
war. Although 80 years old, Mary is
still in good health and is still the
cook. The Prices, however, consider
her one of the family and dearer than

FEAR REVOLUTION.
Paris Newspapers Alarmed Over the
Existing Situation.

Paris, April 6.-The newspapers of
Paris show genuine alarm here at the
violent character of the speeches de-
livered at the workmen's meeting held
in this city yesterday under the au-
spices of the revolutionary organiza-
ton to formulate a plan of organiza-
ton against the government. They
refer particularly to the agreement of
q large section of the state employees
to make common cause with the
trades unionists and the appointment
of a secret committee empowered to
call strikes.
Public opinion is rapidly becoming
terrified. the papers declare, at the
belief that a bloody instruction is
Imminent and the statements of some
of the speakers that the proletariat
would neither fight nor work in the
event of a war is regarded as a par
ticularly alarming prediction.

the scores of congratulatory cable
grams with a message to the American
people. 1t follows:
"After passing eighty years in this
world with almost countless opportuni-
ties for observing the purposes for
which men generally live and the dis
appointment they SO commonly suffer.
it seems reasonable that I should have
formed some opinion as to the course
they ought to follow if they are to
have any real success.
$50 on this, my eightieth birthday,
I tell the American people this:
''If they will seek the honor OF God,
the reign of righteousness, the welfare
of the friendless poor, the riches that
endure forever with the same self
sacrificing activity with which they
seek the wealth and pleasure of this
world, they will have good chance of
finding that life of satisfaction which
now so often eIudes them and of
building up a pattern nation for the
world to initiate.

absence to deprive her of her home.
Miss Ward is one Of the mysteries
of Newark. She was belle in her
girIhood days, when she went abroad
to study art in Paris. Returning sew

refusing to renew all social friendships
and making her home in the old man

woman now and her only visitor is a
nephew, who is a physician.
