date for county superintendent, made
remarkably good run at the election

morning Mr. Jones discovered the theft,
came to town, and found that his miss
ing poultry had that morning been sold
here. He was unable to locate the thief,
but thinking that perhaps be might re~
peat the operation, he and two other
persons laid in wait Thursday evening,
and sure enough, during the night a
man drove up with a team and chicken
crate on his wagon, and going to the
chicken house he secured a number of
fowls and started for hiB wagon, but
was intercepted by the watchers, who
arrested and brought him, and his team,
to town and placed them in charge of
Sheriff Fishel.

COMPARISON
WW Tell the Tale
If you have any doubt as to the best place to spend
your money for DRESS GOODS, CLOAKS, COL
LARETTES, UNDERWEAR, Etc, compare
goods and prices, and don't leave.out this store in
making the comparison. This is a very important
point to us, for we are Certain that the values we
offer will obtain the patronage of all well posted
buyers who see them. Our endeavor has been to
show a stock for fall superior to any previously of
fered to our customers. That we have succeeded is
demonstrated by the first half of the season's business
which is larger by far than ever obtained before.
Cloaks
The handsomely tailored garments, which we are
showing in our cloak department, easily prove our
leadership in this line. More stylish, better made,
greater variety cannot be found anywhere, the
larger city stores not excepted. In regard to prices,
we can save you money. This combination of
goods and prices is what crowds our store every
day with eager buyers.
Our Cloak selling this season, thus far, has been
phenomnal and continue* with increasing volume.
Don't take our word for it, visit our store and con
vince yourself.
Dress Goods
We would not expect to hold and increase our dress
goods trade without giving people the best possible
va'.ues for their money. Ladies are exacting
now a days about the dress goods they buy. They
want durable, handsome and stylish fabrics and they
don't want to pay high prices for them. Our suc
cess has been won by giving them all this at prices
they can afford and are willing to pay. •...
