Samuel Levy & Co offering some beautiful styles and extra induce- ments in cloaks this week. Look over their advertisement and call and see their splendid stock WHY? For several very good reasons First and foremost—the 47nd of Clothing we sell. We are sole agents for Bates county for the famous “Baltimore High Art” Clothing. Compare the make— the fit—the style of this brand with the ordinary “store clothes’—no comparison. They ll equal the work of most tailors. Second. The préce Although our Clothing is be- yond question the best sold in Bates county, our prices are less than others ask for inferior makes. The very fact that our sales are so large enables us to sell for a less price. Third. We are strictly ove priced—no deviation. Thats the only real honest way to do business. Your dollar should buy as much as your neighbors dollar— no more—no less. It will with us. Some of our cus tomers think that in buying a bill of say $50 they should get something off the price. To such we say that our prices are made ona basis of nearly fifty thousand dollars a year sales and are, therefore, much less than if figured on a basis of any one forty or fifty dollar purchase. The very fact thac we are ome priced keeps the price down. No one priced house can afford to be undersold—thats simply driving away trade.

This is splendid weather to gath- er corn, and if Hick’s predictions for winter weather be half true, the farmer who does not want to freeze his fingers off diging his corn out of the snow and sleet had better be filling his cribs. If there is danger of the city get- ting into debt the business men should take the matter in hand and devise a plan to raise a sufficient amount of money to liquidate ex- penses, We are now paying an old railroad debt and that’s enough.

The clang of the firm bells, brought the fire department out Monday morning about 3 o’clock on the double quick time. The fire originated in the elegant residence of Mrs. T. W. Childs in the south west part of the city, and was caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp in the bed-room of her son-Edward. The young man proved to be a sound sleeper and when he woke he found himself enveloped in the flames, his bed and bedding almost entirely burned up and his wearing apparel! a total loss. Ed was almost suffocated with smoke, but he man- aged to find the door and arouse the household, and before the fire com- pany arrived the fire had been ex- tinguished. It wasa close call for one of the handsomest residences in Butler acd Mrs. Childs is to be con- gratulated on the damage being as light as it ‘was.

We were very sorry to learn of the death of Mrs. Lizzie Ray, wife of Andy Ray, of Shawnee township, which occurred at their home Tues- day Oct. 24th at 11 o'clock.

Nevada, Mo, Oct. 19.—A queer document was filed in the county* recorder’s office here to-day. It is an agreement of separation between William M. Sterling his wife, Annie L. Sterling, prominent acd well-to- | do people of Warrensburg, Johnson county. This step was taken be- cause the document states, “of irre- concilable differences” existing be- tween the parties there to. By agreement a division of property is made, and the mother has charge of their little daughter, for whose edu- cation and support the father obli- gates himself. The separation was made in this manner in order to avoid the divorce court The body of J. M.

Wond rful Things Hood’s Sarsaparilia Does for The Sick and Suffering Hood’s Cures y “Tread in the papers of the wonderful things Hood's Sarsaparilia was doing for others, and 80 I bought a bottle for my sick child. She was Suffering With Spasms. The physicians had given her up. It was terri- ble to see her; she had spasms from 12 to 15 times ina day and night At last her head was affected and she was out of her mind so that she knew hardly anything. She has taken two bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilis, and is so much better that I cannot say enough in the way of thanks for this good medicine. Now this is Hood’s «: Cures only the truth. and I believe if it had not been for Hood's Sarsaparilla, May would have been in her grave by this time. I carnest¥y recom mend this medicine, believing as it has helped my child, it will help ethers.” Mzs. Many Erszgcg, Woicottsburgh, Ene Co., N.Y.
