Hashed over the wires from Mciidota that one
Charles Does had fallen from a river steamer at
Keokuk and had been drowned. It afterwards
transpired that Doss had committed Beveral for-
geries of commercial paper during his stay in
Mendota, which accounted for the milk in the
eocoanut. The drowning scheme was explained
and Mendota oflicers .began bunting up the
corpse. It was found in. a lively state of anima
tion at Quiuey. . aou ne got back to Mendota
he confessed to complicity only in the transac
tions, the forger being, m he claims, one Wm,
F.ttineer, of Mendota. The latter was arrested
and both put under bonds to appear for trial.

The newspapers have lately given the dry
good men grand send off (excepting ourselves).
They wanted to glv us a blast, but we had to
decline the proposed favor. Our natural mod
esty would not permit us to excite public turl
sltv to the extent that it must be, by a truthful
Tepresentation of the magnitude of our store and
the rich, rare and beautiful things In it. Emo
tional gushes are not our style. If the newspa
pers attempted to write us up and be truthful,
they would probahly do It In this way:
"In Justice to Andrew Lynch wo must admit
that we purposely left his store and business to
be last noticed, fr the reason that in compari
son with the others it is in the nature of delicious
dessert served after a meal of common food. The
capacity of hts store is immense high ceilings
and well lighted. No curtains are used and this
single and simple feature makes Mr. Lyoch's
store not oo!y healthy for his clerks but for hi
customers In more ways thaa oue. In this re
gard the store is a crystal palm among the other
dry good stores in Ottawa. In its clear, bright
light the rick and gorgeous silks, satins, "velvets
and nil manner of beautiful dress goods, Impart
a feeling that is truly charming; laces and cm
broideries ot the best material and rm)6t artistic
designs are a decided attraction; Sadies' neck
wear is superb; Botne styles of hosiery are mar
vels; embroidered muslins for dreesos are not
least among the stunning attractions; ladles'
uiusKn saques and underwear arettio cap of the
climax, sweet, rich and lovely beyond expres
sion; the carpet department is in eweeteBt har
mony with all the other departments."
But the newspaper men would tiot 6top hero.
Tiiey would speak in admiration TT shawls, cloaks
acid dolmans; of notions, and particularly of cor
sets; of table linens, napkins, "towels, doylies;
Of sheetings, shirtings, crashes, Ac. And the
newspaper men would not slip even here, for
they would find In our immense stock a sultieiout
number of objects worthy of notice to fill many
columns of their papers. From the above re
strained reference to our business, although
made with characteristic, timorous delicacy, the
public will appreciate our reason for not permit
ting the newspapers to make us appear ostenta
tious. A. Lynch.
The first ward gang enjoyed the fun of a first

then, though the injured cian will get well. Law

Scott Hree..- Co.
At their new store, one block south of the post
office, are making trade lively with their new
stock and low prices. When Mr. Scott was in
New Tork, he made arrangements with manufac
turers and importers that will enable them to sell
most of their goods at ae low prices as a great

A Few Moments of Your Time, Fleaae.
Of late we have not annoyed you with any
flowing accounts through the columns of a paper
about great rttiuetiotit, great removals, great re-
pairmyt, great rebuilding, nor a great "Wilde"
ambUr, as we have only been contemplating the
above. Our lime has not yet come for any defin
ite change. We commenced at the bottom of
the ladder the same as the rest of them. And
we have not been in the business from fourteen
to twenty years ; but could at the end of that
time (at our own figures! with our past and
present inereuring trade, purchase a whole block
and erect a massive building with Jult Verne
ru architect. But while we are negotiating for
the contract we shall continue to sell from our
present tnmple room (opposite ft large building).
Our present expense is so small it enables us to
give our customers lower figures than any of our
competitors, and selling principally lor ca.ni, it
makes it interesting for close buyers. We are
also pleased to announce that we have our new
spring goods, and venture to say that the style
and elegance of these goods is not surpassed by
any .oime in the county. Among them are many
new novelties in combinations of color and weav
ing of surfaces upon which the bars, plaids
and checks are laid. These goods must be seen
to be admired. To minutely describe our lovely
gooda would require eoluinn after column, then
it would be hard to form an ndequate idea of
their superlativeness. It attords us great pleas
ure in showing these goods to all the ladies who
honor us with a call. A word to the wise is suf
ficient. Remember, we are at our same locality.
. t Yours truly, Fobbks & Flick.

II a Returned.
Mr. Fiske, of Fiske & Beem's, returned this
week from the east. Goods preceded him and
will follow him. Looking at the stock now in
and contemplating that yet to come, the fact is
forced upon us that Mr.Fisfce.whcn he delilieratc
ly set out to buy a stock, buys with a liberality
that would be downright reckless in any other
house. But the fact is Mr. Fiske buys not for
Ottawa, only, but with the expectation that every
man and boy in La Salle county will want some
thing from his stock.
There is, then, no such thing as competing
with Finke & Beem's. I'.iiying for a patronage
unlimited by city or township lines the stocks
carrier! are also unlimited in size, variety and
quality,
Thi spring's Mock of ready made goods,
suits, furnishing goods, neckwear, hats and
caps, Ae., &c, is one unequalled the Liggett nm
lent in this section. What you can't find there
can't be found.
And it seems like positive bankruptcy to sell
goods at the prices they are niak'nigon all these
goods. ,
