Yesterday’s business was far beyond
our expectations. It gives us some idea
how to prepare for next month.
You will always find us ready and
willing.
We received about forty cases of
Dry Goods yesterday, mostly Dress Goods
and Silks.
Whatever money can buy in these
lines is here, or will be, and here cheap
est. That is a strong, plain statement,
and like most strong, plain statements, it
is TRUE.
The Printed Flannels displayed in
one of our windows ARE COTTON, but
the designs are so rich and the cloth so
skillfully subtle, that many people who
buy the goods and are not told think they
are much better than they are.
Prices are the lowest.
If this store did not save
you money it would fail in
one of its chief claims for
attention.

of the book of Genesis regarded as one

It resulted in the downfall of n prom

or which It raided wa* too loud to he
lasting and In a compnr itlvely short
rime th#- matter was geemingiy forgotten—
forgotten by all but one man. nnd this
man had sworn to wr-k vengeance upon
the man who had brought ruin and dis
aster upon hi* uncle.
There |* no record obtainable In Ihe
city that .1 murder wn* committed within

some quarters as suicide, but the doctor's

' .nunful wife of the statesman wa* found
in a bath tub dead. Just two years later
to n day the congre*mnn— her husband—
was ruined The social wmrld was *ho'k#-i
#f the sudden death. There wu* no sus
picion nor any evidence of foul plav. yet
one of the most cruel and cold-biooticNl
murders conceivable had hr utht leath 10
this beautiful woman. It Is true that
she administered the deadly potion with
her own hands, but it was In the pres

whom she had been foully accused of #e
traving that she the poison.
A Fatal Kiss.
The avenger had plotted Well. That
r,lvlit the doors of the -tot--man's house
had teen ihrown open to one of the gayest
social functions of the season Many of
the celebrities of that time -pint the
early evening over a rare dinner and
wine, and latar the younger guest* In
dancing. This part was the gayest of
the gay. and men flushed with wine car
ried on desperate flit'.minus with every
pretty woman present. When the climax
was reach*d the hour had grown late Al
ready a number of the rev*ter# had gone,
and the hestesa, more beautiful than ever,
was bidding adieu to the departing guests.
In the crowd that night there was a tall
southerner of soldi, rly appearance
Throughout the entire evening he had
havered near the hostess, and Just as
he was about to de|>art paused on the
threshold. *p.*ke something tn an under

Imprinted. In an Instant a terrible nwl
n<*s Invaded his be'ng He gave Ihe aven
ger a curt good night and sought his
library. He bad forgotten that a few
hours ago the Southerner had been intro
duced as his wife's cousin
The Interview between husband and
wife was told by a family slave It was
brief, and the verdict was that the wife
must die. This she did. shortly after her
death the husband met with both finan
cial and political reverses In a com|*ara
llvely snort time the whirlwind of disas
ter swept him off hts f*et. He left Wash
