I it has been discontinue my .ather goods and to give my whole a ay stationery and office /business and this sale ks the closing of the above lines. My time is wholly taken with my staple lines and I can no longer give attention to the book department. The entire stock of printed books, bibles, leather goods and everything in the notion and holiday line has been taken to 607 Main street, and I have en gaged the service of a thor oughly experienced book sales-fi man to take charge of the sale. I shall be in attendance as much of the time as possible and while we expect to conduct auction at 2 and 7 p. m. each day, we will at all times be glad to sell at private sale and at pries fully as low as you would probably buy at auction.. This stock is to be sold. I have always tried to avoid any exaggeration in my advertis ing, but will say none of these goods will ever return to my regular store, and if price will leave them in Keokuk they will be left here. I expect to lose several hundred dollars, but will repeat—THE STOCK IS TO BE SOLD—if price will sell it. After the sale is over I shall re-arrange the regular stock at the permanent store, 623 Main street, and will be better pre pared to serve you than ever before, in our staple lines.

REDMAN Obituary of Baptist Minister Who Passed ints Rest at Elvaeton, Illinois. ?, 7-: •. Ky. Also preached for tnat church for several years and afterwards unit ing with the Baptist church, being ordained to the Baptist ministry Aug. 19th, 190^. at the Whltclick Baptist Association, in Indiana. He was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Vest of Cincinnati. Ohio. July 14th, 1897. To this union wore born two daughters. Edith and Edna. Edith dying In infancy July 20th, 1808. Rev. Redman held pastorates at Carters burg and Bridgeton, Ind., also at Newton, 111., coming to Elvaston about one year ago, being called as pastor of the Elvastcn Baptist church. He had recently been called to continue his pastorate for another year, when ho wag stricken with typhiod fever and passed to the great beyond after I an illness of three weeks, during which time he was a great but patient sufferer, and was tenderly cared for by kind friends. He leaves to mourn their loss his wife and daughter, Edna, his aged father and mother and one sister of Lexington, Ky.. and a host of friends, to those whose hearts are bleeding—the wife and daughter the aged parents and sister, goes out the heartfelt sympathy of an entire community. This is all that friends can do. They cannot check the sighs nor dry the tears, but In the dread trial in the weepings, may I find solace in the thought that grief is shared. Not only has one near and dear by ties of kindred been taken. but a worthy citizen as well. But death asks leave of none. His inex orable decree goes forth and wheth- of life, must be obeyed. We wonder why some are taken and others spar cd. We ask why this is so but from David Copperfleld, Education, Spencer, Fifteen Decisive Battles, A Fool's Errand, The Man on the Box Eben Holden.
