Blffst Redaction In the I'rlee of Boot
and Shoe. Ever Offered In Ottawa.
John Fee'hey has a stock of men's boots,
shoes, rubbers and overshoes which he will
sell at an average of 50 cents cheaper than
elsewhere. His numerous friends in Ottawa
and vicinity will testify to this fact. Men's
good kip boots $2.60, $3 and 3.60. Last
year these goods were sold at 60 cents more
per pair. Shoes and summer goods in the
same proportion.
Mr. Feeuey's long experience and good
ju Igment as a buyer gives him considerable
advantage over others in the selection of
stock and is therefore the main reason for his
ability to sell at low prices, together with his
small expenses in conducting bis business.

An EncouuUtr With a Hull.
Mr. Coleman, of Fall River, was in town
yesterday, looking pretty well used upas
tbe result of his being interviewed by an
enraged Jersey bull two weeks ago. Mr.
Coleman had tied the animal to a tree by
rather a long rope, and in passing noticed
the bull glaring at him with malicious in
tent, and forward, but not beyond the reach
of the rope. The bull's horns caught him
and he was thrown as high as tbe fence;
falling, he was then tossed up again, and
then the furious boast tramped all over him,
trying to gore him. A man sear by, who
had been a paralyed spectator, managed to
attract tbe bull's attention, and Mr. Cole
man got of reach. Had not tbe bull's horns
been cut Into stubbe, Mr. Coleman's death
would have been inevitable The animal
has been killed.
