JL.WJL 1I a, Ji I. yl J ' pany, this popular firm has decided to discon
■ TB BE WM I tinue business in Freeland, and the entire stock,
Consisting of Men's, Boys' and Children's Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gents' Furnishings,
lias been bought by
11E VO W1 C H 811 OS.,
who will continue the business at the same stand in the Refowich Building. Mr. I. Refowich, who so ably conducted this
clothing store here for so many years until a few years ago, will again take charge of the establishment and will once more
give the people of Freeland and surrounding towns as large and fine an assortment of clothing to select from as can be had
anywhere. He will have all goods manufactured at Freeland, and again you will be able to buy Refowich's Home-Made
Clothing, which the public well knows will outwear and outlast any other make of clothing sold in the market. In order to
make room for the immense stock which will immediately be manufactured on the premises, Refowich Bros, have decided to
sell out the entire line carried by the Guarantee Clothing Company at less than 42 cents on the dollar. The Guarantee people
did not wish to remove this tremendous stock to the city anil sold it to us at less than the cost of material, hence we can offer
it to you at prices far below the ordinary rate. Remember this was to be the first fall season of the Guarantee Company in our
town, so the stock is strictly new, made up in the latest styles, having been prepared for this season's trade. The cloth is of
the finer grades and every garment contains the best workmanship. This purchase also included a large and very well assort
ed line of fine piece goods for overcoats, suits and trousers, many of them being imported goods.
THIS IS THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME! We have been wide awake to your interests—be wide awake also,
and take advantage of it. During our many years in business we can state positively that never before have we known of
such a sacrifice as this. Do not delay in making your purchases, but come at once while the assortment is complete.
and will continue until the entire lot is sold. At the prices printed below these goods will soon be disposed of, therefore it is

FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 50, 1898.
COLONEL SWSJtI THOUSAND.
IIIH Fee Tliroe Times Larger Than the
Amount Recovered—'The Accusa
tion, the Admission, and All
the Details.
In the Philadelphia Press of April 18,
1897, was an address delivered by Major
George W. Merrick, of Tioga county,
who was a schoolmate of Colonel W.
A. Stone, the Republican candidate for
governor, in which he said:
"I have undertaken to state from the
stump that Colonel William A. Stone,
now of Allegheny, late of Tioga county,
is the slated candidate for governor:
that his candidacy was agreed upon
by the powers that be some two years
since; that he had served the machine
faithfully, during the whole of his po
litical life; that he said to me fre
quently during the past eight years
that his great ambition in politics was
to be governor, but that he could not
be a candidate for office until the 'Old
Man' said so, but he would be when he
did say so; that two years ago in the
senatorial campaign, he made the de
claration that his relations to Mr. Quay
were such that his political fortunes
would rise or fall with those of Mr.
Quay. I asserted also that I did not
deem him a safe man for governor to
stem the tide of corrupt approach upon
the state treasury, since in private life
he had charged the state SIO,OOO for
collecting $2,400.
"Mr. Stone has undertaken to deny
the last statement. Addressing a
meeting at Royersford, April 13, he
said: 'lt has been said that I charged
the state SIO,OOO for a case which re
turned $2,400. I never made a charge
against the state.' By this statement
I understand Colonel Stone to deny the
allegation that he received a fee of $lO,-
000 for collecting $2,400. Does he mean
to charge me with accusing him false
ly? I will submit the record, and you
may judge, gentlemen, who is guilty
of duplicity.
"In Colonel Stone's speech last week
In Williamsport he said, alluding to this
charge: *1 was pained when mv old
comrade, Mr. Merrick, stated here in
the citv of Williamsport, not for the
purpose of helping me but to injure
me, that I had charged the state of
Pennsylvania SIO,OOO for collecting $2,-
400. This is an old story and retold In
the campaign against me in 1890, but
1 never lost a vote. I never denied the
facts, and I do not deny them now,
but I never presented a bill or made
any charge. That is 12 years ago, and
Is known to everybody in Allegheny
county, and now Major Merrick is re
viving that old tale.'
"Well, gentlemen, that is a pretty
broad admission of the truth of my
charge against Brother Stone, but Mr.
Stone is mistaken when he charges me
with reviving this old tale. On Dec.
14, 1897, a clergyman of Wellsboro wrote
him as to the truth of this allegation,
asking for information, saying: 'ln ref
erence to the past record to which you
refer, I would say that for some years
there has been a report current here
that once in a case In which you col
lected a claim for the commonwealth
in the amount of about $3,000 you
charged and received a fee of $10,000;
the story seems to be well supported.
If it is true it would suggest some doubt
as to the propriety of placing you in
the high and responsible control In the
office you seek in the affairs of our
commonwealth. I shall be pleased to
receive an answer to this question.'
"In reply to this letter Candidate
Stone, in a letter dated Washington,
Dec. 20, 1897, from which I now read,
said: 'The matter of the fee which you
speak of occurred nearly 12 years ago.
My fee was not fixed by me, but it was
fixed at the request of the auditor gen
eral by attorneys in Pittsburg at $lO,-
000, which the state paid me. Of course
I am aware that my enemies will raise
many objections to my candidacy,which
will appear from time to time In the
newspapers, but It is not my purpose,
nor has it been my practice, to pay at
tention to them.' "
Major Merrick is a prominent attor
ney. He is a Republican and a na
tive of the county where Candidate
Stone was born, and lived many years.
He was Stone's schoolmate and his
friend in later years. He was every
thing that would have inclined him
to be Stone's friend. Charges of so
grave a character, coming from such
a source, would be a serious business,
even without Stone's admission of their
truth, as above avowed.
