Crepons
Are by far the most popular Black Dress Fabric oil the
market today, and it must be admitted that a hand
somer fabric never came from a loom. Besides this, its
adaptability to prevailing skirt fashions endears it to
the hearts of lovers of style, while it has been amply
demonstrated that no other weaves can be substituted,
producing the same dressy effects. It is little wonder
then that Crepons are again ihe rage, and are in great
er demand than ever.
English Crepons
Are the best in the world, and their latest creations in
silk faced goods are marvelously beautiful. But, this
is not all, English Crepons wear as satisfactorily as
plain weaves. They do not pull out or fray, and are,
therefore, absolutely dependable under any and all cir
cumstances. True, they are at present hard to get,
but we have succeeded in getting delivery of a full
range of the very latest imported novelties, to which
we invite inspection.
Prices $1.50 to $3.50 a Yard
Another Novelty
Hard to get is louud here in Silk Faced Black Crepons,
with colored stripes. This week, by way of additional
interest to our special Crepou Exhibit, we will offer
these superb cloths that are guarantee. 1 A-j- 7
value for 2. 50 a yard iL pl.( O
Color effects on black grouuds include white, tur

Tho Carlsbad Sprudel Salt is de
rived by evaporation from the cele
brated springs at Carlsbad, and
contains the same curative proper
ties that have made the springs
famous for five centuries.
Eisner & Mendelson Co., Agents
for Carlsbad Salt. Gentlemen: "I
do not suppose that you need any
further words of commendation for
Carlsbad Sprudel Salts, but per
haps my experience may be of use
to some one. 1 had been for years
a confirmed dyspeptic, principally
from constipation. Medicine would
relieve me for a time, only to lose
its efficiency. Three years ago my
doctor advised me to try the Carls
bad Sprudel Salt. I tried them,
but thought the effect two great.
After a little, 1 thought that I would
try them again, using a smaller
dose. I soon found the quanity
that suited my case, and from
that day to this 1 have used them
steadily."

COMPANY IS MODEST.
Lehigh Valley Company Seek Tax
Exoneration in Three Counties.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad company
seeks to be- exonerated from tho pay
ment of taxes upon their new shops at
Sayre, Pa. Two other tountles are
placed In tho same position as Brad
ford in this matter. The company
has asked the county commissioners
of Bradfoid and the boiough council
of Sayre to exonciate tho taxes on
$lf",2tE worth of property in that vil
lage. This includes it pait of the old
shop, the new shops and fixtures nnd a
bi.iall pleco of land, and tho claim is
that the property is a part of the
equipment of the road necessary to Its
operation and not real estate subject
to locnl taxation The amount on
which exoneration is not asked Is $18,
UIO. The lobs to Savre would bo 17'i mills
on J1S5,243, and to the county four and
a half mills on tho same amount for
county and couit house purposes. The
eiueMton Is being given most careful
consideration by the county commls
sloneis and the Sayie council and It Is
probable that tho matter will bo de
cided by tho court according to its mer
its under tho law.
