ReoommendiUonof Former Jarles Is Re peated by January Body. The iary in its inspection of the county jail found the building In good sanitary condition and the prisoners well fed and well treated, but it also was brought to a realization of ' the necessity of a modern jail building and repeated the recommendations of former juries that a new prison be provided. Here is the resolution that the jury offered to the court: : Resolved, That' the present county lail is manifestly inadequate to the needs of our growing county and an eye-sore to the wide-awake enterpris ing citizens of the community, and we earnestly recommend that the hon orable board of suDervisors of Rock Island county lake tiuch steps as are consistent with tne state of the county's finances to have a new county jail constructed in conformity and in keeping with' the standing and posi tion oi hock: island county.

Mr. Foss told the secretary of the interest taken in their work by tbe blue jacketsof his state: how they had worked under great disadvantage for several years, and had survived maay rough storms, ugurativelv speaking and were now in such shape that the assignment of tbe Dorothea to them would mean that the secretary, in case of need, would have as fine a body of well trained and expert sailors and gunners as he could wi3h for. Ihe revenue cutter people were on a warm chase for the Dorothea and nearly had her cinched when the navy department' soented the game and foiled it. Vet the revenue cutter ser vice had been, under the' impression that it would eventually receive the Dorothea as its own.

We have had an unusually profitable season; we have sold better goods for less money than ever before. This was because the increased volume of our business permitted us to safely sell our goods with a smaller margin of profit than heretofore, and now at the end of the regular selling season, we have gathered together ends of lots of suits, , overcoats and trousers and propose to make a sweeping clearing sale of them at such attractive prices as will give an opportunity to people with the slenderest purses to own the best clothing that it is possible to produce. We call your attention specially to the fact that while there is no complete line of sizes'inany one pattern, there is a perfect assortment of sizes at each price, so that every man, no matter what his size or proportion, can be prop erly fitted.
