Not a Penny Obtained by the
Highwaymen for Their
Pains.
±ne 'holding up" of the Omaha pas
senger train and attempted robbery of
the express car, near Kasota, on Friday
night, as published in a late edition of
the Globe yesterday morning, created
considerable excitement among ex
press aud railroad officials. Supl. Ad
ams, of the American Express company,
accompanied by special detectives of
the road, aud a Pinkerton agent, left
for the scene early yesterday morning.
Genetni Manager Winter and Supt.
Scott, of the Omaka road, caused tele
grams to be sent to different points on
the line offering $1,000 reward for the
capture of the robbers, -and Supt. Ad
ams, of the express company, also of
fers an additional $1,000 for their ap
prehension. The passenger train left
St. Paul for Council Bluffs at 7:55 Fri
day night,m chargeof Conductor Blaser.
The Train Was Delayed
between St. Paul and St. Peter, and on
reaching the last-mentioned station* was
several minutes behind schedule time.
As the train pulled out of the station at
St. Peter two men with musks over their
faces crawled over the tender ; and lev
eled shotguns at the engineer and fire
man. The robbers ordered both: en
gineer and fireman to keep still, and,
under penalty of being killed, to do as
ordered. At a point about two miles
this side of Kasota, and known to rail
road men as West Spring Lake, the
engineer was ordered to stop the
train. One .of the highwaymen
then conducted- the engineer and
fireman back \; to the 1 ", express
car and made them call the messenger
to open the door. Thinking the train
had arrived at Kasb'tu. the messenger,
John F. Kennedy, threw open the door.
He was ordered out, forced to give up
his revolver, and asked where the
guard was. On being informed there
was no guard on the train, for the "rea
son that there was no money carried,
the messenger was
Ordered Back
into the car and followed by one of the
robbers. While the fellow was climb
in Messenger Kennedy opened his safe,
and taking the money packages/amount
ing to about $2,300, threw them to the
other end of the car. After examining
the safe, the messenger was ordered to
join the engineer ami fireman on the
ground. The headlight of the locomo
tive was ordered extinguished, and the
engineer, ' fireman and messenger
walked up the track halt 4 -a
mile. Here the highwaymen faced
the trio toward the tram and"
ordered them to get back lively. The
instructions were obeyed, and in twenty
minutes after it had been stopped it
was again en route for Kasota. A tramp
who was riding, "blind baggage? says
there were four in the gang, but. the
railroad men saw only two. There "were
two shots fired during the time the train
was stopped, one at a brakeman who
rwas on his way to the engine to see
what was the trouble, and another at
a brakeman on the rear coach who
Swung His Lantern
from the platform. s; one of the pas
sengers were disturbed by the robbers,,
but the stopping of the train and shots
acquainted them of the fact, and cre
ated something of a panic.
Conductor Blaser sent the following
account of the affair to Division Super
intendent Spencer:
"On train No. 1 tonight, just as we
pulled out of St. Peter, two men with
masks on came In the cab of the engine
and covered the engineer and firemen
with guns and told them to keep still
and go ahead until told to stop. One of
the robbers produced two cigars and
made the fireman light them and hand
one to each of themselves, and they
smoked; them hard, keeping, the -end
of the cigars burning brightly. This,
we judged, was a signal to their con
federates. When we had got about
sixty rods west of Spring Lake they
told the engineer to stop, which he did.
They then made the engineer and fire
man get down on the. left hand side and
so back to the express car and knock on"
the door and ask the messenger to open
it. The messenger was busy, and did
not notice where we were or how far the
train had gone from St. Peter, but sup
posed we were at Kasota. So he threw
the door open and faced the gun. They
made him jump down and
Took Mis Revolver
and threw it down on the ground. They
then inquired for our guard, and were
told the guard was not on tonight, as
we didn't have any money at all. They
then made him get back in the car, aud
one of them followed him. while the
other held the ensrineef and fireman on
the ground by keeping them covered
with a gun. The messenger got into the
car quicker than the robber, and opened
his safe and locker, which stood
by the safe, and managed to enn
ceal what money he had while
the robber was climbing into the
car door, the robber being hampered
some by his gun and being such a lame
man. The messenger showed him all
around the car and convinced him there
was no money aboard the car. They
then took the engineer, fireman anil
messenger and made them walk'ahead
of them to a farm crossing at the top of
the hill and then sent them back to the
train. There two shots were tired, one
at the head of the brakeman, who was
on his way to the ensine, aud the other
buck beside the train on the appearance
of a light back along the train some
where.
The Train Robbers
are described as one being n. very large
man, and the other a trifle smaller.
Both wore long masks that covered
their faces and hung down on their
coats. There is some question among
police and detectives as to whether the
fellows were professionals or new men
at the business. It is argued that had
they been old hands they would not
have been armed with shotguns as
these weapons are very unweildy and
do not give as good satisfaction as re
volvers. Other officials claim novices
at the business would not go about the
game in such a nervy way. The plan
or walking the messenger, engineer and
fireman away from the train after the
attempted robbery is the same adopted
by the men who held up the
Milwaukee & St. Paul train near Mil
waukee some months ago. The sDot
selected for the -'hold up" is a desolate
place, and was probably selected on
this account.
A farmer was held up by two men
near Kasota Thursday night aud robbed
of tSSSQ, and the local" officials think the
robbers are the same ones who commit
ted the deed. The highwaymen evi
dently expected to realize a snug sum
as a result of their work, the express
company carryiugfrom $10,000 to $50,000
usually on the first two or three days of
each month.
(■ot No money.
A visit to the offices of the American
Express com Dan y last night resulted in
no additional information concerning
the attempted robbery. No money was
secured by the robbers and no word had
been received from Supt. Adams, who

kato. The report of the messenger in
detail had not, been received at the
office, and, as his run extended to
Omaha, he probably would not submit
his report until he reached that point.
At the Omaha offices it was explained

AS SERGEANT-AT-ARMS.
Officer Galvin Is Called Upon to
Take Less Money.
Aid. Copeland, Hickman and Cullen,
from the committee on police, held a
session yesterday afternoon. The plac
ing of a telephone in the residence of
Chief Garvin, the expense to be paid
from the police fund, was recommenced
to pass. The communication from Chief
Garvin, regarding the books which
should have been kept before he took
charge of the department, was laid over
until the next meeting, neither Chief
Garvin norex-Chief Clark beingpresent.
The resolution ordering Patrolman
Henry Galvin to act as ser
geant-at-arms ' at council meetings
without additional pay, occasioned
considerable discussion. Mr. Galvin.
who receives patrolman's pay, $!K)0 per
year, and is detailed at the city attor
ney's oflice. said he was entitled to some
compensation for his services." He mag
nanimously agreed to save the city $-350
of the amount now being paid him by
declaring he would do the work for $15
per month. Aid. Hickman thought this
amount too much. Aid. Cullen said the
price was a little high. Mr. Galvin, he
said, was not exposed to inclement
weather and did no night duty, as other
patrolmen were obliged to do. Cor
poration Attorney Lawler explained
Mr. Galvin's duties were serving pa
pers, hunting up witnesses aud evi
dence in suits, brought against the city,
and other work necessary in connection
with the legal department. The point
was raised that Mr. Galvin could retire
on a pension at half-pay. This sugges
tion was not considered by t-he officer,
who finally agreed to do the worK for
jyo per month. Tnis was thought to be
about right by the committee, and a
recommendation to that effect will be
made.
CLOSING THK DEAL. '
To Locate the Lutheran National
College Here.
The prospect of securing a national
Lutheran college in St. Paul are ex
ceedingly bright just at present. The
proposed location is in the upper end of
the Fifth Ward and about two miles
this siue of Fort Snellmg on the top of
a beautiful hill around and about what
is known as Sneliing Heights and
Magofhn's Midway aitiirict. The col
lege will be the head and center for
the education of all Lutheran ministers
throughout the United States, and
many other course? of study
will be available to those with
do not desire to enter the
church. The college will be supported
by over 400 churches throughout the
country, and the council is now in ses
sion at Richmond, Ind., to deci<le upon
a location for the college. An offer of a
donation of ten acres of land has been
forwarded to them from this city by
property owners in the vicinity of the
proposed site, and they confidently ex
pect to secure the prize. If they are
successful this would make quite an ad
dition to the educational facilities of St.
Paul, as there is now located at or very
near the same point one of the largest
Catholic seminaries in the state. There
is no more beautiful spot in the city for
this purpose, and its adaptability will
be demonstrated at a glance to any one
who will take the pains to visit the spot.
Full explanations of its advantages
have been forwarded with the proposed
donation, and it is expected that a com
mittee of the council will soon visit St.
Paul.
COMPLAINS OF INJUSTICE.
In the Case of Miss Taylor, of Van
Buren School.
The taxpayers of Dayton's Bluff, espe
cially the patrons ot the Van Buren
school, are intensely indignant over the
injusticedone to Miss Taylor, the Eighth
grade teacher. Miss Taylor has taught
for years in the school, beginning with
the Third grade. She has been recom
mended year by year by the principal,
and by his recommendation ha 3 been
advanced from erade to grade until two
years ago, when, she was promoted to
to the highest grade, where she has
made for herself such a record as to be
considered one of the strongest teachers
of the city. This year, without cause,
he withheld his recommendation. Tne
first intimation of the matter that the
lady received was an invitation to with
draw her application, as she had failed
to receive the recommendation of the
principal; but, having an idea that she
had some rights in the matter, she
politely declined to do so.
She demanded the right to meet the
principal -face to face and make a de
fense. She personally notified Mr. Mc-
Gee to be present at the committee
meeting, but all in vain. He lias stead
ily refused to. state any charges or to
appear before her.
Such behavior on the part of any
man marks him as being not in
sympathy with the spirit of the times.
He is behind the age else he could never
imagine that such injustice could live
under the stars aud stripes in this
nineteenth century.
A petition is being circulated asking
that Miss Taylor be retained, and hun
dreds of the leading citizens of the
bluff have already signed it. There
seems to be a strong sentiment in favor
of asking for the removal of the prin
cipal, who, we believe, is unpopular
alike with teachers, pupils and parents.
It seems strange that the secret attack
of one man could have had any influ
ence over such men as those who con
stitute the present board of education,
and it is believed that when they more
fully investigate the matter. Miss Tay
lor will be vindicated.

ALL HAD* VAGARIES.
Six Lunatics Sent to the Roches
ter Resort.
• A squad of Sheriff Bean's deputies
took six insane persons to the Rochester
asylum last evening. They wire, with
the exception ot one, adjudged insane
during the week. Three of them were
found to be insane by the probate court
yesterday.
Charles Swanson is twenty-eight years
old, and asserts that he is the brother of
Christ. Mrs. Rosie Arenfelt is a do
mestic, forty years old. Laura Julien
is crazy on religion, and sees spooks.
She prays or sings a great deal of the
time.
One of the other taken to the asylum
is Frank Beckwith. He went into the
probate court yesterday and stated that
he had run away from the Rochester
asylum last Monday and wanted to be
sent back. By inspecting the records
it was found that lie had teen sent from
this county to the asylum nine years
ago. lie was told that the court had no
authority on its own motion to return
him. He stated that he had walked
part of the way from Rochester and had
ridden part of the way on a freight
. train, and that he is anxious to go back.
He was sent to the sheriff. Sheriff
Bean turned htm over to a deputy to be
looked after until the other persons are
ready to be taken to Rochester. A
short time after Beckwith was seized
with an epileptic fit in the corrider of
the city ball building and in his wild
ness shrieked "murder" and created a
great commotion. He was afterwards
lodged in jail aud later made one of the
six taken to the asylum.

Aldermanio. Committeemen and
the Line to Como.
The committee on streets from the
new board of aldermen held its first
session yesterday. The petition of 800
residents and propeity owners in the
vicinity of Como park calling attention
to the failure of the railway company to
construct a line to the park was dis
cussed" at length.
Aid. Warren said it was time for the
council to step in and insist that the
line be completed. Mr. Lowry had
promised time and time again to have
the line built. The people had been
put to considerable expense in having
Cbmo avenue graded, and the only rea
son for this improvement was that Mr.
Lfowry had promised, in case it was done,
he would construct the line. It would not
take ten days to extend the line, and he,
for oue, was determined Mr. Lowry
should be brought to time. The people
in the vicinity were not the only ones
interested; it was a matter in which all
residents of the city were concerned.
Attorney Horn appeared in behalf of
the street railway company, and ex
plained Mr. Lowry had just returned
from a month's trip, and as he expected
to see him later in the day, he suggested
the matter be laid over until next week.
He informed the committee the resolu
tion introduced at the last meeting of
the assembly ordering the line con
structed and Completed by July 15,
1592, did not build the line, neither
could the council, under the ordinance,
compel the company to build it by pass
ing -resolutions. He argued for a delay
until Mr. Lowry could be seen and the
matter explained to him.
Aid. Franklin inquired if the delay in
construction was caused by Mr. Lowry
wanting to get a right of way through
the park.
M*. Horn said he had heard some talk
about securing a right of way thif»ugh
the park, but knew nothing about itT
Aid. Warren insisted on some action
being taken, and the committee will
recommend the passage of the assembly
resolution ordering the line to be con
structed on or before July 15.
M. D. Munn appeared for property
owners who protested against paving
Dayton avenue with asphalt from the
end of the present pavement to Victoria
street. Dayton avenue, he said, was
now paved four blocks further otu tnau
Summit avenue, and the proposeu
improvement would make the av
enue have half of a mile
more of paved street than Summit
avenue. The property owners, he
claimed, asked for the improvement, ex
pecting it would cost $3 per foot. The
report of the board of public works
showed it would cost §8, and only nine
out of a total of thirty-six property
owners now demanded tiie work should
go on.
The committee decided to recommend
the improvement be made.
Capt. Bell, who resides at 205 Dayton
avenue, said something should be done
to prevent bicycle riders from using the
sidewalks. He was informed the com
mittee had nothing before it regarding
this matter.
City Engineer Rundlett, who was
present, said he was engaged in prepar
ing a map showing the paved streets.
Representatives of the bicycle clubs
were preparing rules and certain re
strictions regarding the rate of speed
when wheels were ridden on the side
walks. Just what action the council
would take Mr, Rundlett didn't know,
but if allowed to use the sidewalks at all
it would be in the outside districts and
there uuder restrictions.
ONE LESS TO REWARD.
Committee Recommends the Con
solidation of Market Offices.
The committee on public buildings
held a three-minute session and recom
mended the passage of Aid. Cullen's
resolution which practically abolishes
the office of market master. At the last
session of the joint bodies, and just pre
vious to the election of a market master,
Aid. Culleu sprung his resolution. The
"reformers" had caucused and selected
one of the faithful to be rewarded by
the position, and the resolutiou threw
cold water on the plan. Some objec
tion was made to the introduction of the
resolution, but it seemingly had the de
sired effect, for the election of a market
master was postponed. The resoluTion
provided for the merging into one
office, at a salary not to ex
ceed what is now paid the
market master, the positions of market
master and engineer at the market
house. Aid. Cullen, at the time lie pre
sented the resolution to the joint bodies,
and also at the su bsequent meeting of the
board of aldermen, gave his reasons for
the proposed change. The market
house having been declared vacated by
resolution of the councii, and the evi
dent desire of the council being to re
duce expenditures, lie thought this was
a good place to begin the reduction. By
combining the two offices the city could
save the salary of one of the present
officials, and the city's interest be just
as well taken care of. The committee
yesterday unanimously* recommended
the passuge of the resolution.
ANOTHER REWARD.
Schurmann Appointed to Exam
ine the Printing Bills.
The statement made by the mayor
that he "did not intend to pay political
debts with appointments," was corrobo
rated yesterday. A resolution recently
passed both branches of the ordering
an investigation of the bills for printing
under the contract of J. H. Burns. The
appointment of an expert was author
ized the mayor being left to make the
selection. Charles S. Schurmann, pro
prietor of a weekly paper published
in West St. Paul, was appointed
by the mayor as the ex
pert. Schurmann, so his friends
claim did the "grand old party" great
service in the last campaign, nis publi
cation being the sewer, as it were, for
alleged facts to find way to pubiic
notice. The city attorney has given an
opinion that the employment of an
expert can be legally made from month
to month, but Comptroller McCardy
may have his "notion" about this and
not agree with the opinion. Schurmann
being an active ward worker may, how
ever, cause McCardy to look leniently
on the claim for services when it reaches
his oflice.
AFTER A YEAR.
A Druggist Prosecntesa Wayward
toung Man.
Nearly a year ago Bert Belial, a youth
employed at W\ E. Lowe's drug store, at
the comer of Twelfth and Robert streets,
skipped out. The boy had been sent to
the bank to make a deposit of 534, but
did not return uutil after the store
closed. Then be took what change
there was in the cash drawer and a
quantity of cigars and left. the city. A
warrant was issued for his arrest, but he
was not brought into court until yester
day. Mr. Lowe, the complaining wit
ness, said he had not intended to prose
cute Belial, but the lad was doing worse
instead of better, and he thought it time
to do something with him. Mrs. Belial,
the boy's mother, has left the city, aud

Hbw Prominent People Plan
to Spend the Day of
Days.
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomor
row," sighs Young America with fa
mous Richard 111., who succeeded Ed
ward IT. to the throne of England in
the fifteenth century. Tomorrow
means a world of patriotic pleasure and
exhiliarating experiences to the youth
who aspires to ereat things. Tomorrow
is the grand Independence day, and it
will be celebrated in right royal style
in Minnesota's capital. To the redoubt
able Richard 111. the morrow meant
victory and a perpetuation of royal
reign, or it meant death and ignominy.
It meant a perpetuation of his control
or the succesfion of his enemies. Noth
ing of the sort confronts the prophetic
ambition of the exuberant youth that
louffs for the dawn of another sun. In
the latter instance it means a fusiladeof
firecrackers, balloon ascensions, nic
nics. fishing excursions, parades and
pyrotechnic exhibitions in the evening.
It is the time when patriotic feelings are
set loose without restraint, and the
heroic exploits of the Revolutionary
saints are revered. Chinese firecrack
ers will contribute, as they have for a
dozen decades, to the confusion and
promiscuous joy. Unfortunate night
toilers will be awakened from needful
sleep at an early hour, for the youth
never respects the requirements nor de
sires of the laborer on this occasion.
There will be the booir. of the "can
non" firecracker at early dawn, while
Jesser crackers join the ensemble.
There will be no sleep— no rest for the
weary.
All this counts for little when it is
pmcru in comparison with the oppor
tunities that the occasion offers to the
political Demosthenes! It will be a
day of oratory. It will be a day when
the eloquent lawyer, preacher, poli
tician, will go before the multitudes,
and the American eagle will soar to the
very apex of eloquence.
picnics galore;.
Churches and Societies Will Hold
High Carnival.
The Good Templars will unite with
the otner temperance organizations of
the Twin Cities in holding a picnic on
the grounds of the Minnesota Transfer.
This is at the corner of Prior aud Uni
versity avenues. The Minneapolis or
ganizations, it is announced, \yill join
in a parade, after which a special train
on the interurban line will convey the
party to the v picnic grounds. The pro
gramme that has been prepared will in
clude.^as a matter of course, the usual
speeches, and then will follow athletic
Events with a brass band accompani
ment, and the best sort of a time is
.promised by the management. Trains
will be run at intervals of four minutes
throughout the entire day, or while the
programme lasts.
The newly completed White Bear
electric line just opened will afford an
opportunity to thousands to spend the
day at the favorite resorts of the city.
Wildwood will be the scene of a picnic
and a carnival of miscellaneous sports
and athletic contests. This is an ideal
spot, and will find a large number of
admiring patrons.
At Railroad park the programme in
cludes a grand old-fashioned celebra
tion, and it will include a parade and
novel features. And then there will be
ball games, a balloon ascension, a para
chute jump, foot races, and in the even
ing the event will be a pyrotechnic dis
play.
The citizens of Xorth St, Paul offer a
very tempting programme. In the first
instance there, will be a parade in which
some 300 Patriotic Sons or America will
be the prominent figures. The paseant
will march to Silver lake, where the de
iectable things so usual to an old
fashioned Independence day picnic will
be spread by fair hands, and it is ex
pected that the march will have so
sharpened the appetites that none of
the aood things tnat will have been
placed will want for appreciation. The
culminating event will be a pyrotechnic
oratorical contest between Rev. £. P.
Ingersoll and Capt. 11. A. Castle, St.
Paul's accomplished postmaster, and
the whole will be finished with a brill
iant fireworks exhibition Jin the even
ing. The committee on arrangements
announce that SIOO will be given in
prizes for the victors in the athletic
events that wiil occur during the after
noon.
A picnic will be given by the par
ishioners of St. Michael's church on the
West side. The event will occur at the
corner of Smith avenue and George
street, at the end of the high bridge.
This ft a slightly place where an ex
cellent view of the city can be had, and
the programme promises the most en
joyaulf^time for those who participate.
A band will furnish the music, and
then there will be the usual athletic
events, so common to Independence
day celebrations. There will be races,
foot ball, base ball and the like, and the
most enjoyable time will ensue.
St. Mark's parish will celebrate the
day in a pienfeat Groveland park. The
festivities will include athletic sports,
and eloquent addresses will be made,
and then there will be a fine musical
programme.
The yachting regatta, at White Bear
lake will prove a very attractive feat
ttire amongthe multitudinous things that
have been prepared .for the delectation of
those who wish to enjoy the day. There
will b^ a large number of fast sailing
boats start in the race, and time allow
ances will be so fixed that the result
will be a problem. There will be sev
eral valuable prizes to compete for, as
has already been explained in these
columns.
The Inver Grove citizens never over
look national Independence day. The
time never was since this delightful
suburban resort has been occupied that
there has not been an attractive pro
erajnme on the Fourth at Decker's park.
For tomorrow there will bo two balloon
ascensions by Prof. Bissel, and the
Jubilee singers, so-called, wiil supply a
programme,while there will be dancing
and other pleasures in the pavilion.
St. Mark's church committee wiil hold
a genuine old-time Wald-Fest on the
Fourth of July in Groveland park, end
of Grand avenue line.
The glorious Fourth will be celebrated
by St. James" parish at their picnic
grounds at the terminus of the exten
sion of the West Seventh street electric
line. The electric cars run direct to the
grounds, and on that day extra cars
will be placed on the extension of the
West Seyenth street line to accommo
date the crowds. The pastor, Key.
James A. Filzpatrick. has prepared an
elaborate programme for the entertain
ment of visitors. Brass and string
bands will furnish music. Punch and
Judy performances, and all manner of
out-door games will attract young and
old. Athletic contests of every sort
will take place, and the winners of the
leading events will be rewarded with
gold medals and other prizes.

IN SMALL GRAINS.
Notwithstanding the Rains, a
Heavy Crop Expected.
The average Minn? ■ >tan is filled with
a sort of a premonition that the contin
ued rains have imperiled the crops.
The state grain inspection department
feels differently. The reports at the
office of A. C. Clausen, at the capitol,
indicate that the almost unprecedented
precipitation has not jeopardized the
prospects in any way, and that the indi
cations favor a heavy croD in small
grains. It would be folly, however, to
attempt to disguise the" fact that corn
can be scarcely mediocre with the most
favorable weather from now until har
vest. Tne greatest alarm is felt for the
Red river valley crops. There the land
lies low and is generally victim to se
vere wet weather, but the reports show
that wheat is growing rank and strong,
and the hope is entertained that a good
harvest will be realized. Still there is
danger. Should the tamperature make
a sudden and radical change, and the
thermometer rise to a very high decree
tor a lonsr-continued period, rust may
ensue. That is the one circumstance
that threatens, but under ordinary con
ditions there is little to fear. Small
grains never presented a more thrifty
aspect at this time of the year. The
rains have strengthened the grain
straws, and the low temperature has
added to the strength and vitality.
The consequence is the farmers
throughout the Northwest are now sim
ply praying that Jupiter Pluvius will
smile upon them, and permit the usual
Minnesota weather to reign for a few
months.
A TORPID LIVER
Will Bring on a Fever.
That being the case, what do you
suppose an outing of a fevTilays would
do for you o"n the shores of lovely De
troit Lake, on the Northern Pacific?
Try it and see.

MIDSUMMER SELLING.
Two years ago our Mid
summer Clearing Saie was
the greatest merchandise
movement ever known in
the Northwestern trade.
Last year our Midsummer
Clearing Sale far surpassed
its predecessor of the old
store. The business of the
coming month shall surpass
that of former years. We
are not content to sit quietly
and wait for something to
turn up. We also know
that rt requires extracrdinary
inducements and price con
cessions to do a large busi
ness in a so-called dull sea
son. But we are here to do
a large business twelve
months in the year, even if
we don't make much money
every month.
We need not remind you
that here low prices and
good qualities go hand in
hand. This is a character
istic of our business which
is pretty well known. Poor
stuffs find no shelf room
here. No matter how low
the price, the qualities may
always be depended upon.
SILK REDUCTIONS.
There's almost a craze for
Navy Blue Silks with white
figures and spots. Strange
to say, we are the only
house in town which carries
a large stock of them. Come
to think of it, however, it
isn't quite so strange. "Some
merchants sell the best they
can, some the meanest."
That explains it all.
We shall put a lot of the
fashionable Japanese and
Twilled India Silks on sale
Tuesday morning at 75
Cents a yard; real value, $i.
Those are the styles:
Navy blue \vitn white spots.
Navy blue with white figures.
Navy blue with white stripes.
Navy blue with yellow stripes.
Navy blue with red stripes.
Mephistopheles red with white dots.
It's not a mixed lot of much trash with a
few pieces of good quality thrown In. Every
piece is new and first-class in every respect.
They will not muss or crumple.
Colors are absolutely f.ist.
They are good for wear.
And they are worth one-third more than
our selling price of 75 cents.
There are several kinds of Printed Twilled
India Sil'is. Some are of poor quality in
fairly good styles. Others are ot fairly good
quality, but the styles are abominable.
Neither of these Kinds can be found here.
Our Printed Twilled In
dias are of the very best
qualities and in the newest
styles. There are none like
them in town, nor are there
likely to be any. Our price
is $1.00. Now don't take
our word for this, but just
look around and examine
the various assortments for
yourself.
