the curtain and upholstery department is cer
tainly the best in all respects in the county.
The dress -;ood and silk departments are
also very attractive ut this time. The sprint;

conviction, heavy.

the locomotive and fourteen cars of freight
train No. 2f, west bound, were derailed and
considerably wrecked about a mile west of
Buffalo Rock , completely blockading both
trucks of the Rock Island road. A force of
men were set ut work und it was hoped to
have the track cleared by midnight, so as to
permit the passage of the delayed express and
mail trains. The accident is said to have been
caused by the expansion of the rails under the
heat of the sun. No person was injured.

will open in the old Walther block, Madison

pose of the young men to push the business
with vigor, and the Fkf.k Tkadkii predicts for
them success. They have the well wishes of
