Inventory Brings to Light
Many
ODD LOTS.
Naturally when we're just about to enter upon the begin
ning of a new season we do not care to have any left-overs on
our hands. We'll make this a very busy time by closing out
these odd lots and left-overs at prices that will make them in
teresting values for some one.
100 Baby Bonnets, 10 cents.
Left-overs and odd lots and sizes. Most of these were 50c;
some were more.
100 Children's Hats, 25 cents.
Hats that sold up as high as $2. Most of them were $1
and $1.25.
50 Trimmed Hats, $1.
A price that would not reimburse us for the work on
them, but they're here; and as our new millinery wiill soon ar
rive we want to clean up. These are women's hats and about
50 ladies of this town or vicinity will have a chance to buy a
new headpiece at a mere song.
Mussed Goods at Half Price.
Linen Lunch Cloths, Doylies, Sideboard Scarfs, Fillow
Shams, Embroideries, Trimmings everything we have come
across in our taking of inventory that looked mussed or soiled.
We've no room in this stock for any but perfect goods. Rather
than carry them along to another season we put them all out on
the center tables at one-half price.
The Last of Men's Underwear.
Several odd lines of Men's Natural Wool Underwear,
Shirts and Drawers you can any size, $1, $1.25 and $1.50
qualities, all at one-half price.

his borne, which was burned at West
Mirldletowo, Washington countj, Sat
urdsy, David Barr unearthed a tin cash
box containing $800 which he tried in
vain to save at the time of the fire. Of
the bank notes nothing was left but a
charred roll. Barr hopes to have the
government redeem some of the notes
whic i bear marks of the denomination
they represented.

The New Silks.
Glace Shautung.
A time ago, a certain silk mill made a silk, named it, and spent
many thousands of dollars aJvertising it through the oolumos of high
priced advertising mediums.
The price of that silk by the yard was f 1.35 and it was a good
lilk and very pretty.
Another silk mill made a silk fully as good and just as pretty
and named it "Gl ce Shautung."
This is the silk referred to above and the price is tl a yard.
This silk will not be advertised in the magazines and the differ
ence in price represents the amount of money spent in advertising by
the first (ilk mill referred to.

HENRY CAVENDISH.
A Recluse, He Lived Far From the
Madding Crowd.
Henry Cavendish, the famous natural
philosopher and chemist, wus n recluse
who UMtonbhi'd ICiikIqihI. .
A son of Lord Charles Cavendish
and a nephew of the third Duke of
Devonshire, possessed of enormous
wealth, the subject of universal ad
miration because of his scientific at
tainments, he preferred the solittido
of h!s study ami the company of his
books to tho pleasures society could
offer htm.
For ninny years he lived nt Hauip-
stend In n large, roomy house, attended
by n number of fumule servants, who,
however, were strictly enjoined to keen
out of his sight. If a domestic by the
merest chance cnino into tho presence
of Cavendish she was Instantly dis
missed.
Every morning 'lie philosopher would
leave n note on the hall table nainluir
what he wanted for dinner. No one
saw hint place the note there; but, ac
customed to the strange customs of
the establishment, the meal would bo
prepared, and only tho remains of tho
repast Hignilied the presence of the
master of the bouse.
When Cavendish died In 1810 he left
behind him nearly u million pounds
sterling, besides a lasting reputation as
a scientist nnd wilier on natural phl-losopby.-Loudou
