The people of Mineral Point and sur

agement of the T. X. KellyiSales Sys-
TEN of New York, Chicago and Mime
apols, high class merchandise brokers,
known to be the greatest bargain Civ
ers in the Northwest.
Nh. Stephenson informs us that the
prices quoted on his stock are in great
many instances cess than he could pur-
chase the same at the factory. His
reason for making this great sacrifice
sale, is that he is heavily overstocked,
and desires to raise. large sum of
money quickly, 50 he considers it good
business judgment to cut loose and un-
load the entire stock right now for what
ever it win bring, just when the people
are in need of the goods and he has
therefore inaugurated this mighty re-
duction sale in order to convert every
dollars worth of goods into cash, no
matter how great the loss might be.
The Kelly Sales System representa-
tives are now in charge Of the entire
store, re-arranging and marking down.

sons instructions to them were to cut
down these lines, even to the bare walls,
no matter how great the loss.
This will give the people Of Mineral
Point and surrounding country the
greatest bargains ever placed before
the public in the history Of Wisconsin
merchandising. This sale will surely
prove to be great boon to the people,
who are never slow in taking advantage
of an opportunity such as this mighty
stock reduction sale viii afford, and
from the large number Of people in
curing about the sale, and waiting for
the opening day, it bespeaks Of Mr..
Stephenson doing record breaking
business.
This reliable firm has never carried
any except the most dependable and
highest grade Of merchandise, and We
expect to see hundreds Of people in at
tendance daily turing this great sale,
as the people realize that when they
can purchase high grade merchandise

Dentists Mysterious Disappearance.

Dentists Mysterious Disappearance
The department of customs at New
Orleans has been asked to join in a
search for DR.. Emile B. Porche, a
prominent dentist OF Colorado, who
is said to have mysterious1y disap.
peared in the spring of 1899, sleav-
ing no earthly trace behind him.
The details Of the disappearance of
the missing man were received in
the office OF Special Deputy Collector
Z. e. Bentley through letter sent
him by Mrs. j. Torrance Smith, Of
Rocky Ford, Colo.. an aunt of DIR.
Porche, who formerly lived in DON
aldsonville, where her deceased 1us-
band kept a drug store.
According to the letter Of Mrs.
Smith, DR.. Porche sailed for Cuba in
the spring of 1899, returning by way
of New Orleans some three months
later. Upon his return, the first
thing DR.. Poche did was to telephone
to his aunt at jacksonville. inqnir-
ing about his wife and child, whom
he had not heard from during his
voyage. While engaged in the tele-
it seems that someone interrupted
the doctor. who asked that his aunt
hold the phone as he intended re
turning Immediately. This, accord
ing to Mrs. Smith, was the last heard
of the dentist. His relatives and
friends have been without news from
him since that time, and it Is feared |
that something happened to him
while in the telephone station.
DR.. Porche was, il is said, a de-
voted husband and father, and a man
of regular habits. He had with him
at the time of his disappearance, be-
sides his baggage, a large assortment
of dental goods and instruments
which he had purchased from the
Adams Dental Supply Company, the
Dental Department at New Orleans
and the S. S. White Company Of Gin
cinnati. He was at the time one Of |
a party of dentists offered free
to Cuba by the United |
States government.

CIubWomen Begin Move to I'M

gerouS Pits.

Mrs. Charles J. Haden. president Of
the City Federation of Womens Clubs,
began movement today for the i'm
provement of school yards.
why not take advantage of all the
waste dirt from the various street eX-
Cavations the city is making and use
this to fill up the school yards?"
This question will be asked the city
council by the club women.
There are holes in our school house
Fairgrounds big enough for a child to
fall in said Mrs Haden. Il under
stand that much of the earth which is
being removed from along Peachtree
and Baker streets and at various other
places in the city is being actually
given away to those who will haul it,
and In many cases is being hauled by
the city wagons and dumped gratis on
some ones lot which needs filling.
Now, why not let the city haul this
dirt to the school yards and throw it
there? Practically every yard in town
needs some filling and, as l said. many
of them are in deplorable state.
In many cases the dirt could be
dumped in the yard and scraped over
with a few shoveIs and that would be
all the labor required. At the Forrest,
Davis and Tenth street schools a re-
tanning wall would have to be built, but
this ought to be done anyway"
Mrs Haden is going to bring the
matter up before the next meeting Of
the federation and numbers Of At
lanta's most prominent club women are
backing her in the movement.
