'X'HE people are astonished at the immense crowds that throng our three large stores from morn
i until night. It taxes our large torce to its lull capacity to wait on the crowds. We are receiving car loads alter car loads of goods—it is
almost impossible to supply the trade. We have been compelled to make the second order on nearly every line of goods. We have boldly entered
the mercantile arena, buckled on the armor of LOW PRICES, drawn the SWORD OF DEFIANCE. On our crest we bear the device gf V
fe Underbuy!
Undersell,
on this motto we will pin our faith. If we fail we will ask no quarters, but with our colors flying, will go bravely down. We go into no combinatons—We
fight our battles alone. We are “for the people, first, last and all the time,” Give us vour support and we will act as a safety valv^against Combinations,
Oppression and High Prices. Ask yourself this important question: “Whv is it that FITZPATRICK BROS, are selling hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of goods every day while
their competitors gaze at the crowds as they flock to our stores ?” The answe! is : “Our knock out prices can’t be matched.”

death is universally regretted by
the people of his stale, who but a
short while tigo presented to him
a handsome swoard in order to
show their appreciation of his gallant
conduct.

Secretary Gage’s estimates for the
fiscal year beginning next June show
that imperialism will be a most cost¬
ly load for the United States. Ac¬
cording to these, the white man’s
burden for the coining year will ex¬
ceed that for the present one by more
than $34,000,000, in spite of the fact
that there will be no $20,000,000 to
pay to Spain and that the Philippine
war is expected to be over before the
next year begins.

In the fiscal year 1895-96, the
War Department expended in round
numbers $54,000,000, and the Navy
Department $29,000,000. For the
fiscal year 1899-1900, a year of rebei
Jion and warfare, the appropriations
amounted to $163,000,000 for war
and nearly $52,000,oOO for the navy.
For the year 1900-01, which is ex
pected to be a year of peace, I lie Sec
nt.ry asks $190,000,000 for war and
$76,000,000 for the navy. Truly,
the cost of the empire is high.

prevailed, would have shorn
the American Republic of theglo-y

Adams, Jefferson, Madison and a

Would it be anything amiss to say
that this rotation business is poking
its nose into every nook and cranny
of our state and county politics too?
The governor must hail from first
one section and then another, and

trying to keep “round pegs out of
square holes.”
