The rush of the season is every day in
creasing at II. J. Giixen's. The special sale
commenced by this mammoth establishment
one week ago, to be continued in all depart
ments for 80 days, is not only meeting
with a grand rush, but'also with a great sue
oess as to volume of sales in each and every
department.
This rush only proves what can be accom
plished amongst an intelligent people when
you give them the greatest bargains ever of
fered in seasonable, standard goods and reli
able merchandise.
A sale of this kind is a very rare opportu
nity for the purchaser, as this stock is the
grandest, most complete and best selected
over opened by any house iu the county and
is offered to the trade at prices that are
making each and everybody say: " Why, such
barguius! ami that, too, on all lines;" "This,
indeed, is the cheapest and finest stock that
it bus ever been our fortune to examine;''
" Such a lariie variety as well as the extreme
of low prices!" The great cau.-'O for this
slaughter is that this truly immense slock,
purchased at tempting prices, in a Muggish
or depressed market, must be unloaded iu a
very short time, and the house is determined
to give the people a benefit by dividing the
many advantages thus gained, and also to
demonstrate how cheap first-class goods can
bo sold when bought at the right time at
the right place. This can bo done by calling
at Gil'.cn's during this sale and the taking
ui'iry advantages therts offered.
This sale extends to the Boot and Shoe de
partment, which stands in the front rank
with any boot and shoo stock iu the county,
and you can there find the greatest variety as
well as the finest stock, and always bottom
prices. The great object iu this department
is to build up a trade and inducements iu the
way of low prices on first-class goods is the
surest way to accomplish this end.

There arc a number of stock holders in
and about Ottawa and in La Salle county, in
what is hereabouts known as the Colwell
motor the invention of a brother of BevJ
Mr. Colwell, formerly of this city. The
motor, known as the '-The Triple Themic
Motor," promised great things, but until
recently it can hardly be said to have passed
the experimental stage. It has lately been
shown, however, to be a great success, and
it is believed that it will oue day supercede
steam largely as a motive power. The prin
ciple is the use ol bisulphide ef carbon va
por instead of water power. The vapor is
generated in a tubular boiler enclosed in a
surrounding shell, tho liquid bisulphide of
carbon on the tubes being heated by steam,
admitted within the surrounding casing.
The tests of the motor at the Lowell Electric
Light, Station (a very large plant) the
consumption was 1.43 pounds per horse
power per hour, which 'shows remarkable
efficiency. The chief points of vantage ove
steam which this motor presents are econo
my of fuel and vast increase of power attain
able with the same heat by the use of the
new vapor, besides overcoming the defects of
steam as a working medium in engines.
Tuos. S. Craue, M. E., of New York, has re
ported favorable on the new motor, as have
other mechanical engineers, while a syndi
cate of Canadians have but recently bought
the right of the patents for Canada. So i lie
stockholders may yet realize handsomely on
their Investment.

Mua. Dr. Kkck Dear Friend: When I ap.
plied to you for treatment I was suffering
very much from catarrh, which had affected
me for eight years, causing great trouble in
my head, throat and stomach, which was so
weak that at times I had to live on milk.
Hard tood always distressed me, causing
sourness, vomiting, sick headache, gases and
bloating, and causing my bowels to bo loose
at times, while other times very constipated.
I was nervous and could not sleep. After
following your directions I now feel well. 1
am much strongerand able to do more work
than for ytars. 1 can eat any food without
distress of any kind. My bowels are regu
lar, my head does not trouble me, my nerves
are strong, and I now have no trouble to
sleep. You have also greatly benefited my
daughter, whom I placed under your treat
ment, after waiting until I saw that tny ben
efits were permanent. She had weak lungs.

Land buyers will be interested In the ad
vertisement of Dr. J. O. Harris & Sou, on
our last page, where numerous bargains are
offered. This is the oldest real estate firm
in La Salle county, having been established
away long back in the "fifties." During all
that time the reputation of the business for
character, ability, faithful service, reliability
of statements made, and liberality to patrons
has been the very highest unquestioned by
anyone, and indeed unquestionable. The
country now is full of land agents; but we
can say that the public will find Dr. J. O
Harris ti Son in the foreground with the
choice of the choice land still in the market
in the west on their books, and that no agent
has greater bargains in southern or western
lands to offer the land buying public than
these gentlemen. They offer also the usual
excursion rates given land buyers going to
see land themselves, and can, by means of
their correspondents in all parts of the
west, Bouth or southwest, place every advan
lage of local acquaintance with lands at the
disposal of their patrons.
