Wasimsotok, June 6. Ohio Valler and
Tennessee Klr wratber. preceded In (be
uorlhtiut porllon (if th Ohio Valler by local
rnlna, anil slightly cooler In the Ohio Valley.
Stitlonnry temperature In Tcnnostcn; wcstei
ly winds becoming Tnilnble. Lower Lake
region rainy weather, followed in western
iorllon by clearing wiathor.
Ulobo Mills line erusiruero and worsted
pantaloons, going lor little enough to smash
ns If everything tlao was down no better.
There's a why lor these pants being &.
Nothing the matter with the garments, but a
great surplus manufactured, an over produc
tion of fine pant. Wo arc willing to Bee
them go cheap to rcduco the stock. There's
n limit though, to this kind of slaughtering.
People who are willing to deal with n one
price house nnd tnko our word and they're
feeing for goodness, can do lots worse than
spending an hour among Globe Mills pants.
They're raid to be better made.
Seersucker coats and Tests are coming
nearly e cry day. Samples to-day of fceer
euckcr plaited nnd belted tourists, the very
nowest thing out. You cn't afford to buy
old last j ear's styles and patterns when the
latest are so near. Wo'vo put the old stock
djwn, Ihey'ie always below.
Another Huh ol corktcrcw suits (to down
to $10 They're worth more money, but
trade needs ilie stlmiiUnt. You expect more
here, you ought to, wo can afford more.
Tttintj-liic nnkwnrd Eultc for school wear
will go to-day nnd to-morrow for $1.50 per
suit. Wo were unfortunate In making too
many ol this one stylo. They ought to be
cluap, wo think they arc. You'll know If
you shop.
Shirt waists lower than ever licforc, are
golrig taster than ever within our time, and
wo imagine thcro never was a faster time in
boys wear than we have seen. What the
prices would bo If we were out, we .won't at
tempt to tell. Will you pay us 25c for a 40c
waist, 35c for a G0c waist, 60c for a 75c
waist, or will you stand your hand among
dealers who hare less, care for what they say
or do.
Wo have several thousand undershirts of
hefts suited to the weather, drawers as well,
llnlbriggans nt 40c. gauze at 20a and 25c.
Angola shirts and drawers a dollar each.
Feather weight drnwers 75c, and others not
so leathery, 10c and 00c. There's comfort,
plenty of it, in thin vestures from here.
Neckwear. Does everybody know that
It's nonsense to pay $1,$1.25, $1.50, Ac, for
fine ties? Does highness of price signify
highness of style?
The a line styles nnd more of them may be
had from hire for 25c, 35c, 40c and DOc, and
every tlo pn)S us a profit.
A more generous stock of straw hats is
bard to find, 10c, 15c, 20c, 25c, 40c, DOc.
Will you think of Derby hats such weather
as this?
Nothing wonderful about traveling bags or
straps.
Will you pay more than 50c for a good
unlaundrled shirt? Will you pay 75c?
Will you pay a dollar if you see the value in
It? Wo'vo the best shirt In the world, the
Beal."

The Schemes of Conatantlne.
We clip the following from the Ohio State
Journal:
Several weeks ago "Charley" Constantino
of Springfield, came to secure the position ot
first assistant postmaster general. Charley
was not satisfied with one hook to bis line,
however, and made up his mind that he bad
better set the traps tor more than one place.
He lost the postoffice appointment and threw
a lly for the supenntendency ol the railway
mail service. He has not secured that
place yet, and after having filed a tew In
doisemcnts for tho collectorship ot internal
revenue for the Kighteenth district, he looked
around for something else. His next move
wjs in the direction of the Interior depart
ment, and la now in the ring lor the place
held by Major Lxkwood, ol New York. This
place is the office of chief clerk. Charley's
prospects are not very bright, but be won't
give up. There are several other offices
which be would like, and be will apply
wherever there Is a slightest chance of suc
cess. Mr. Constantice at present wears the
medal as the most "gaily" Ohio offlceseeker.
