started to float down the Mississippi
river to New Orleans. When he reached
a point near Herculanium, a town about
25 miles south of St.. Louis, the boat was
caught and crushed in an ice jam and
the boy was forced to take refuge on the
ice. His cries for assistance were finally
heard and he was rescued by some train
men who locate* him by the burning of
matches as it was very dark, and the
little fellow had an ample supply of
matches. His father was notified bv
Wire and went to Herculanium, the boy
being very willing to return home after
his ad venture.

Many leading republicans of Leon
have denounced in very emphatic terms
the attempt of a few republicans tb take
partisan politics into the city election.
They do not tnink it best to have either
a straight democrat ticket or a straight
republican ticket, but that the best men
should be selected for tbe offices regard
less of "politics. And the majority of
Ibe voters will think likewise when thev
go to vote.

their goods which will be hard to beat

at less than wholesale price. Read
their advertisement carefully and com
pare their prices with what you are
paying for the same goods ebewhere
ana you will find that you can make
good money by taking a trip to one of
their stores. Prices and quality are

About Capes
and Jackets.
It's hard to tell which will be
worn most. So far we have
sold more jackets than capes.
But capes are stylish and con
venient and the city stores are
selling a great many. Leave it
to you. We are showing
goodly variety in both.

a,.
Silk Capes $2 to 5,
Spring Jackets $3.50
to $7 50.
Must mention petticoats too.
Here's a dozen styles at 75c.
to $2.50. All new, all well
made, all cheap at *he prices
we ask.
Carpets and
Curtains.
These are shown on our 2d
floor. We have sold more car
pets since January than we
sold during the spring season
last year. This is mentioned
only as an indication of the
popularity of this department
Measure your rooms and we
can tell you at once how best
to lay the carpet and how much
it will cost. Have just opened
a handsome line of Portieres.
Carry window shades, curtain
poles,lace curtains and mattings
and will be glad to show them
when you come to look

good shoes, sterling values,
low prices, but really you must
see the goods to fully appre
ciate them. Believe us we'll
be glad to show you whether
you want to buy or nott
to your interest as well as
to have you acquainted
the sort of shoes we sell,
