Centre Street at
August Blanket Sale.
The Big Annual Event, This Year
Broader and Better Than Ever,
Starts Monday, Aug. 25th.
If wc could bring home to every housekeeper a full realiza
tion of the lowness of the prices that will prevail, and impress
them with the great advisability of filling in shortages in the
Fall and Winter supply now, we would crowd this store from
the moment the sale opens next Monday morning.
In plauning this event, we have had in mind the meeting
of blanket and bedding needs, not only at the lowest prices of
the year, but at actually lower prices than in many years.
It will be by far our most wonderful Blanket Sale and we
have had some great sales in the past.
Details will appear in the Oil City papers Monday, Aug.
25th, the day the sale opens. ,
THE NEW SUITS AND COATS
FOR FALL.
The New Materials, New Trimmings, New Colorings, in
Constantly Growing Varieties.
There is already far more of Autumn in the Cloak and Suit
Section than remains of Summer. More than a lew women
have already become keenly interested in the new style depart
ures. Even if you will not be attracted here by an immediate
need, it is a very welcome opportunity to lamiliarize yourself
now with the lashion trend of lall and Winter.
The length of the Suit Coats, worn with skirts a little
longer than those ol last season, will be of especial interest.
Not a coat is less than 38 inches long, while some of the more
extremes are 45 inches in length. The new sharp cutaway
effects are worth studying.
The fashion showings at present are the most elaborate
that we have had so far, reinforced by late shipments nt new
suits and coats for Fall.

There was a conference In London
recently under the auspices of the In
corporated Institute of Hygiene to dis
cuss the health of business men. Many
it the greatest physicians In England
spoke, especially about the diet of the
ordinary man of business. The New
York Medical Record sums up their
conclusions thus:
"Most of the speakers expressed the
opinion that but little should bo eaten
In the middle of the day, and some
seemed to think that two good meals
In the day were quite sutlicleiit. A
man who does not take enough exer
cise or who does not perform enough
manual labor to enable him to digest
and assimilate a large iiiantity of
food, and particularly tlesh food, should
be very careful as to the quality und
quantity of food ho Ingests. Such u
man does not require much meat."

GLYNN THROWS
DOWN GAUNTLET
dejects Plan ta Let . Courts
Settle N. y. Governorship
MR. SULZER NOW ON DEFENSIVE
With New York State Situation In
Deadlock Charges of Bribery Are
Fired at Tammany Concerning Vote.
Martin II. Glynn sent U William
Sulzer a letter In which he flatly re
fused to refer to the courts the ques
tion of who Is the rightful govcrnoi
of the state of New York. He said:
"1 shall perform every function ol
the office of governor except In sc
far as I am restrained by your Illeg al
actions or by physical force."
He also says that "It Is beyond my
power to barter away any of the tunc
tions attaching to the office In which
I am placed by your impeachment."
He contends that the court of appeal
to which Mr. Sulzer wants the Issue
submitted has no right to interfere
in impeachment proceedings.
Mr. Glynn with this letter answers
the question which everybody in
Albany had been asking. What wai
he going to do about Mr. Sulzer' pro
posal that the lawyers get together
and arrange a test case?
There was ne intiaiatiea frem Mr.
Glyaa as to what his next step will
be. Mr. Sulzer still has possession el
the executive offices, the privy seal and
documents necessary to the buiiaesi
of the state.
As the situation Is now Mr. Olynn
has put the responsibility for the
straage situation clearly up to Mr.
Sulzer. It is believed that Mr. Sui
ter's aext move will be to try te get
a test rase before the courts without
the co-operation of Mr. Glynn. How
be will do this is not known, as h.i
counsel had not considered the pos
sibility of Mr. Glynn refusing to join
them.
While the gubernatorial deadlock
remained unbroken, opea charges oi
brfbery in connection with the recent
impeachment proceedings gave a
startling new twist to the situation.
James G. Garrison, a close friend ot
John A. Hennessy, whom Sulzer ap
pointed to probe all the state depart
ments, issued this statement:
"I charge now and positively that
Tammany i id cold cash for the four
votes they needed to pass this resolu
tion (that rf impeachment) and they
also used money to keep wavering
votes in line. We will be prepared
to prove this before we are through.
There are some gentlemen mixed up
in this who are headed straight to
jail. That is all I care to say at this
time."
The resolution impeaching Sulzer
was carried with only three votes te
spare. Tammany mustered seven'y
nine votes for the resolution, while
only seventy-six were needed. If Sui
ter's friends can prove that four ol
the votes (gainst the governor wore
purchased they declare the impeach
ment will fall flat.
Judge Herrlck said that the report
that Governor Sulzer or any ot bli
advisers contemplated a back fi
against Tanmany by seeking the in
dictment of Charles V. Murphy T
others was false.
It Is understood that the men whe
are serving Mr. Sulzer as counsel have
not received and do not exp',t to
receive any compensation for their
services. ' Is also understood that
they have believed all along that his
right to exercise the duties of gov
ernor desp'te the assembly's impeach
ment would be sustained by the courts,
The Impeachment trial of Governor
Sulzer has been set for Sept. 18.
LOAN SHARKS HAD AGENT
Congressman McDermott Alleged te
Be Paid Representative.
Isaac H. McMlchael, former chief
page of the house of representatives
and frequently mentioned by Colonel
Mulhall as his "principal news source"
In legislative matters, gave the house
lobby committee a new sensation. He
testified that Representative James T.
McDermott of Illinois during the pen
dency of a loan shark bill affecting
pawnbrokers and "10 per centers" h .d
been the paid agent of the pawnbrok
ers. He told of a number of Instances
where lie had obtained articles of his
own and of McDermott's from the
pawnbrokers of Washington.
He said that McDermott told him
he had received all told more than
$7,000 in the shake down of the Wash
ington pawnbrokers. McMlchael de
clared that Henry Neal, Speaker
'.'lark's cob. red messenger, and Harry
Parker, th'1 messenger to Chairman
Underwood, had been to his knowledge
In the pay of Colonel Mulhall,
McMlchael also testified that Mc
Dermott got part of the money that
he (McMichael) collected from Colonel
Mulhall. It was the belief here that
the disclosures will result In an effort
to impeach McDermott and possibly
nn investigation by the grand Jury.

CLOSE VME0N TARIFF
Free Wheat Gets Only Five Majority
in Senate.
Another close vote was recorded In
the senate en a preposed amendment
to the Underwood Simmons tariff bill.
The Inane committee was sus
tained in its action in putting wheat
en the free list by only 6 majority,
the vote being 37 te 32. All the Re
publicans voted against free wheat and
were reinforced by two Democrats
Senators Thornton and Ransdell.
The actin of Ransdell In voting
with tie Republicans marked l.i
second brk from the solid De mo
cratic snppert which had been glv-sn
with the exception of Senator Thorn
ton. Immediately following the adoption
of the comrilttee amendment for free
wheat Senator Gronna of North
Dakota proposed an amendment pro
viding n duty of 6 cents per bushel.
This amendment was lost, 37 to 31,
the two Iulslana senators voting
again with the Republicans.
N Recess by Congress.
All hope for a recess of congress
after the tariff bill is passed or for
the postponement of currency legisla
tion until the regular session in De
cember disappeared when the Demo
cratic cancus of the senate adopted
a resolution commending to congress
that currency legislation be taken up
ns soon as the tariff bill is out of the
way. The action of the caucus was
the result rf insistence on the part of
President Wilson that this program be
followed.
BIG BUSINESS IN VIEW
Merchants Preparing For Heavy Fall
Tirde, Dun's Finds.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Current distribution of merchandise
continues in normal volume, whtlo
steady preparations are being made
for an active fall and winter business.
Conservatism has been accentuated
somewhat by the damage to corn, yet
in a broad sense crop conditions are
still promising and, with remunerative
prices prevailing, another prosperous
year Is assured.
"The heavy movement of agricul
tural products to market contributes
liberally tc transportation revenues,
while the exports of grain and other
commodities add materially to credit
balance abroad."
