Our good republican friend, H. P. Calahan, of Johnstown, while in the city Saturday pulled the latch string of the booming Tnazs. Mr. C. has been a subscriber to this paper almost from its infancy and said he had at all times been pleased with this paper and expected to continue to take it, so he laid down the cash and said keep it coming. In turn the Truxs notes with pleasure that he has received the appointment of postmaster of his little town, vice J. D. Ray, resigned. Our estemed fellow-townsman, J. M. Tucker, who has been spending the summer in Colorado, for his health, writes us that he has located for the present in Denver and order- ed his paper forwarded to him at that place. Mr. Tucker was for sey- eral yearsa member and secretary of the Walton & Tucker Investment company, and is an excellent busi- nes man In the early spring on ac- count of failing healthand by the advice of physicians, Mr. T. took up his residence in the mountains of Colorado. He began to improve and the encouragement was so great that he has concluded for the time being to locate in the West. While we regret to lose him he has the best wishes of the citizens of this city and county. In view of the fact that every business man and citizen is vitally interested in the adoption of the very best water-works ordinance that be drafted, and = as the ordinance submitted by Mr. Dewey will come up before the board for its second reading Thurs- day night, it would be well for our business men to be present as they might be able to suggest amend- ments or defects which have eseap- can ed the scrutiny of the board which might be of vital importance to the ordinance when it is submitted to the voters for their ratification. This is the time all these matters should receive attention, and not wait until the ordinance is adopted and submitted. Our thanks are extended secretary of state Lesueur, for a copy of the official manual for the years 1889 and 1890. The pamphlet contains much useful and valuable informa- tion, such as the official vote for president, members of congress, governors, house of representatives, county officers, registered pharma- cists, population of the states and the union, speakers of the house of representatives, local option elec- tions, newspapers of the state, pub- lic lands of the United States land offices, largest cities of the earth, biographical sketches of civil affairs, &e., &e. He also has our thanks for a copy of the laws of Missouri passed at the last session of the gen- eral assembly. Mr. Lesueur is mak- ing one of the best officers the state has ever had and is the right man in the right place. The manual shows that Cleveland received a popular vote over Harrison of 93,- 481. A goodly rumber of our people attended the Nevada fair last week. Most of them who went to see the balloon ascension, came home some- what disgruntled over the fair association not complying with their advertised promise. It is said that the balloon when about half full of gas broke loose from its moorings and when last seen it was about the size of a man’s hat go- ing over Schell City. Another bal- loon was ordered and the ascension took place at 4 o'clock Mon- day evening. Some are disposed to think that the escape of the balloon was a preconcerted plan of the fair association to hold the crowd for the two last days of the fair, Mon- day and Tuesday of this week. But as to this the Tues is inclined to be more charitable with the association for we do not believe the officials could afford to practice the decep- tion. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 14—Joe Hooker, a colt of unknown breeding but valued at $4,000, fell dead in the 2:25 trotting race yesterday. He re- cently went atrial mile in 2:25, and was considered of more than ordina- ry promise. Mr. McKibben is one of our | Another Large Shipment!

Now, ladies and _ gentlemen, enough personally of Mr. Levy, and we turn your attention to the DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT of this establishment, which will be found in the south room of his double store building. The first thing that attracted the attention cf the reporter as he entered the door was the notion department, which is complete in every detail; and as we pressed our way through the crowd toward the rear of the building we soon became blinded and bewilder- edamongthe gorgeous display of silks, satins, calicoes, bolts of mus- lin, and the thousand and one arti- cles that go to make up this depart- ment, and really did not know where we were until werun in the arms of Joe Miers and Ed.

If thereis any one department aboutthe store that Sam'l Levy prides himse'f on it is his boots and shoes, and the reporter will add that he can justly be proud, as his stock of ladies shoes, and general assort- ment of gents boots and shoes, of the best brands and latest styles, is complete and his prices far belowall competito:s. Inshort his entire stock of goods cannot be excelled or his prices duplicated, and this fall Mr. Levy tells us he is going to make a greater reduction onall goods than ever before. He bought his stock at hard time prices, and real- izing the scarcity of money and the hard times which exist in this part of the state, he has decided to let his stock go at a sacrifice this fall and try to make up his losses at some future time.

To disabuse the mind of the pub- lic that this short sketch of the in- terior and successful management of this immense dry goods emporium is nota paid advertisement, we will state in the outset that it is not, and what we say complimentary of the firm and the immense stock of fail and winter goods just received and placed on sale, is of our own motion and without the knowledge and consent of the management of the firm. Itisa tribute we have been intending to pay the Messrs Levys for along time for the gen- erous manner in which they have treated us in the past year, and as this is the only way in which we could show our gratitude for past favors, and believing they would ap- preciate a surprise of this kind bet- ter than any other present we could make them, a Tres reporter was dis- patched to his store to investigate his different departments and give its readers in theshort space allotted a bird's-eye view of his fall stock, just opened.
