You can buy a straw hat for a quarter, a suit of
clothes for $6.75, and a grand piano for $59.
But you get what you pay for. You can buy a
straw hat for S4O, a suit of clothes for SBO, and
a grand piano for SIB,OOO. And then again, you
get what you pay for. Strictly speaking there
are no real “bargains.” The cheap man gets
what he is looking for-cheapness. And the man
who wants merit, pays for it. Our goods are of
the latter class and sold at the lowest*prices pos
sible, consistent with quality.

HOW MORGAN CAME
TO RELIEF OE MARKET
Grip of Money Sharks
Broken by Action.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—(Special)-The
New York American gives the follow
ering account of the entry of J. P.
Morgan into the breach on Thursday:
All through the morning despite the
millions that were being .poured into
the market, prices continued to drop
steadily on the exchange. The price
of money arose in proportion. Union..
Pacific fell from 110% to par. Great
Northern Went off 7%, Reading 9,
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul 7%,
Southern Pacific 6%, American Smelt
ing 5, and so bn down the list, while
the price of money on call loans went
from 25 to 50, then to 75, and finally
to 100.
Two o'clock arrived amid tremend
ous excitement. A loan of SIOO,OOO
was made at 100, and SIOO,OOO more
was snapped up at 130. The floor of
the exchange was a perfect bedlam.
White-faced brokers dashed about in
a frenzy of fear. They begged the
money sharks for loans at any price.
Stocks continued to tumble. Scores
of men faced absolute ruin. The sup
ply of money apparently was exhaust
ed. From his place in the rostrum
President Ransom H. Thomas took in
the situation at a glance. Jamming his
hat down over his ears, he leaped to
the floor, fought his way through the
mob of frenzied financiers and dashed
out of the door..
A thin, white-faced, careworn man j
is seen running at top speed across |
Broad street, and through Wall to the |
office of President Stillwell, of the Na- j
tional City Bank.
“The bottom is dropping out of the ;
market!’’ he cried. “Money is advanc
ing to 150. We must have $25,000,000 |
instantly to break the grip of the
sharks, or the end is at hand!”
A hurried consultation follows be
tween the two leaders.
“It is impossible for us to advance
it all,” cried Stillman. “We’ll go
halves at 0 per cent. See Morgan for
the balance.”
The hands of the clock point to 2:12.
A minute later Morgan announces the
decision.
“Rush back to the exchange,” is
his message; “the money is at your
command.”
Once more Thomas wings his flight, j
Through the crowd he leaps, up the I
steps of the exchange, from the por-!
tals of which the shrieks and roars of
the maddened brokers are deafening.
A foot inside the doors, he hurls his
message from No. 23.
“Money’s coming, boys! Morgan will
supply it—525,000,000 at 10 per cent.”
Up, up go the stocks; down, down
goes the price of monpy. Union Pa
cific swings back to 110%, Great
Northern to 115%, Reading to 79%,
Southern Pacific to 69%.. Trading is
resumed with a vengeance. Prices leap
back to their former level, and even
begin to mount above it. The situation
is saved.
The gong sounds, the gavel falls,
arid trading for the day is done. Sim
ultaneously a hundred throats send*
out a cry more strident, fierce and ex
ultant than any heard when the panic
raged its fiercest:
“What’s the matter with Morgan?”’
“He's all right!”
His Hear Old Mother.
“My dear old mother, who is now j
eighty three years old, thrives on El
ectric Bitters,” writes W. B. Brun
son, of Dublin, Ga. “She has taken
them for about two years and enjoys
an excellent appetite, feels strong
and sleeps well.” That's the way El
lectric Bitters afiect the aged, and the
same happy results follow in all cases
of female weakness and general de
bility. Weak, puny children too,
are greatly strengthened by them.

GLITTERING AXE FOR
RECREANT OFFICIALS
Chinese PunishmentEavored
by Preacher.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 30.
(Special)—“lt would be a good thing
if the sharp and glittering broad ax
which falls on the neck of any Chin
ese official who does not obey a state
edict could be held over the heads of
some of the men in this country who
ignore the laws.”
This startling declaration was made
by Rev. Homer C. Stunz, field secre
tary of the Philippines of the Mission
board of the Methodist church, in an
address of the fifty-fifth anniversary
of the founding of the Young Men's
Christian Association in Washington.
“The term ‘foregn devils,’ which the
Chinese originally applied to all out
siders, is still a true designation for
the men who are encouraging the
whiskey and opium trade in China,”
said the speaker. “The results which
have been accomplished in that coun
try since it was opened to the Western
world have been marvelous. An im
perial edict has been issued, which
will prohibit the growth, importation
or sale of opium in the empire within
the next ten years, and prohibition in
China prohibits.”
He declared that the United States
would have no cause to fear a flood
of Chinese immigration, even if the
doors were thrown wide open to
them. He said that one of the best
order which President Roosevelt ever
issued was that in which he advocat
ed a liberal interpretation of the
Chinese exclusion laws.

Chief Executive Brought Crisis
NEW YORK, Ovtober 30.—(Special)
—Justice John W. Goff holds Roose
velt responsible for the financial cris
is.
“It is the duty,” he said “of every
citizen of- this country, no matter
what office he may fill, to confine him
self strictly to the discharge of the
duties of that office and nothing else.”
“I venture to say that there is not a
gentleman in this hall whose mind has
not been disturbed by the events of
the last week. We are told that this
was to come. We have been told
about these crimes of high finance for
a long time, but what has been done
to protect us? What is the duty of
our chief officer? What is his duty?
to excite the public mind by simply
talking about big crimes, but to fix
his finger on the place where the
crime started.”

Hanger t in Mothballs
PARIS, October 30. (Special)
Napthalene mothballs, so commonly
used by good housewives to preserve
clothing from moths and other insects,
were the subject of an attack this
week at the French Academy of Med- 1
icine when two eminent physicians j
stated that the substance was not only
useless as a preservative, but highly
prejudical to health.
Mothballs, they declared, give off
oxyde of carbon and poison the blood
corpuscles. They cited cases of as
phyxia caused by nathalene fumes.
The poison is all the more danger
ous as its effects are insidious and not
easily perceved until too late.
