As this has been oui: practice since the beginning of our business, -we
offer no apology or give any further reason for this ;
This year our sale -will be far more important than ever "before, as our stock is fuller, .
more varied, and owing to our taking advantage of Tariff changes and the business de
pression, allows us to offer more tempting prices. Now is the time to get out your sav
ings and invest them to good advantage. While a Dollar in our house is not any bigger
in size than any where else, it looks so because it will buy so much more. This is not a
sale of old goods carried over from year to year, for at the cbmmencement of the year our ...
stock was extremely low, and this has allowed us to be liberal buyers. This is strictly a
sale of Fresh, Choice and . ' " . . ? . ' ... ' ' . . :.";
Bought as Low as Cash will Purchase, and How Offered a Prices.
We are not dissatisfied with our goods; they are all right, for our business
during the present year has been extremely satisfactory, beyond any sanguine an
ticipations we might have formed at its commencement. - We therefore owe some
thing to our friends and customers, and will endeavor to show our appreciation of
their kindness by giving them-an opportunity of selecting from our stock,'goods
at away below regular prices. As every article in the house will be marked down
it will be impossible for us to be ready until Wednesday. To; avoid confusion,
goods will be sold at regular prices until then. - . '.'
' Of course, if you haven't a cent in the world, . these " reduced prices will be of
little service to you.' Or if you have so much money that you don't know how to
spend it, then reductions are not an inducement. -But if you are like the ma
jority of people, with just a little money and inclined to make it go as far as pos- '
sible, then our figures are interesting. We want! in this sale . to see how much
more we can make a Dollar buy than it used to. . ' r , , .; . ' ; . ..

The Christmas number of Town
Topics reaches us in particularly attrac
tive guise, its handsome colored cover
attracting the eye as readily as the ex
cellence of the contents appeals to the
mind of the reader. . In its 48 pages of
choicest reading matter are. to be found
stories and poems, tragic, sentimental
and humorous, by the contemporary
authors, including Bret Harte, Walter
Besant, Bliss Carman, etc., etc., as well
as a 'series of ably-prepared reviews of
the doings of the year 1894 in the realms
of society, music, the drama, literature
and the fine arts. There is also a goodly
collection of the bright verses and witti
cisms -that have earned the paper its
high reputation, most. of the latter being
turned on the customs and traditions of
the time. One may safely say that a
glance through the pages of this number
will be certain to add to one's enjoyment
of the holiday period of mirth and re
joicing. . Town Topics Publishing Com

. Court Notes.
Upon the opening offcourtlthis morn
ing 'there was quite a crowd present, it
being expected that the , Savage case
would be decided, and the crowd made
no mistake.-' The motion for a new trial
was . overruled,, and Otis Savage, being
told to stand up, was asked by Judge
Bradshaw if he bad anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced upon
him. The prisoner retained his won
derful nerve to the last. There was just
a shadow of moisture in his eyes, but he
said, in a firm voice, "I do not know of
anything I can say. It is evident that
a job -has been put up to convict me,
and I shall have to take such medicine
as yoa give . me." Judge Bradshaw de
livered a brief.'but sensible and pathetic
lecture to him, and then sentenced nim
to four years in the penitentiary. He
wilLnot be taken below for a little
while, perhaps not until the appeal is
heard from.
Frank Klein was then sentenced to
eighteen months in the penitentiary.
William Smith, a boy " of -17, who
plead guilty to stealing ahorse, was sent
to the reform school. " .

23 side-tracked there, as it should have
been, he supposed the train was an
nnled, and as he had the right-of-way,
did 'not fctop. ' He bad scarcely passed
the switch when he - saw the other train
coming;, or, as be says, when he first
saw the other train he thought it was
stopped, but at once did everything to
stop his own train: When the engines
met that of 22 climbed up on top of the
other, and Lang was thrown back and
fell between the boiler-head and the
shovel-plate, which was" turned up
His foot and arm were against the boi
ler-head. Fortunately nothing inside of
the cab broke, not even the water gauge.
Had- they done so, he would no doubt
have been scalded to death. . As it
was, only ' tor the prompt . action of
Brakeman . Miler, who shoveled away
the coal and sawed a board into that was
holding Lang against the fire box, he
would soon have roasted to death.
Lang was brought here yesterday and
Drs. Doane and Logan attended to his
injuries. , It was indeed a lucky escape
for Lang .and time will set 'ail things
right with him. Four or five cars were
damaged-, but Mr. Lang's engine was
pretty badly smashed. '
