We bought them right and -we intend to sell them for $2.50, and will
do so later. There is plenty of wear in them, they look well, fit well
and are up-to-date shoes for gentlemen. We say now
For them, because this price is less than cost, is no more reason why
they are not'a bargain and why you should not have some.
You will see them m .our show windows as soon as' we get the

A great many religiously-inclined stat
isticians are figuring it out that the end
of the world will come in May, and Rev.
Hazel, who has taken up the interpreta
tion of tbe prophecies leading to this
interesting event, announces that be
will not be through before August.
However, considering the thousand
years of the milleninm, Mr. Hazel's au
dience might.' be induced to extend his
time, if he would pYomise to get through
in two or three hundred years.
The graves of the defenseless dead are
being robbed of the loving ttibutes of
the living at the Odd FellowB cemetery,
and a committee appointed ' by that
order is authorized to offer a reward for
information leading to the conviction of
anyone caught stealing flowers from the
graves. Shameful and disgraceful are
words hardly fitting the total depravity
of the individual who traduces human
kind by such an act. The bare neces
sity ot publishing this item, acknowledg
ing in public the existence of some one
who robs graves of Sowers, is demoraliz
ing to human nature.
The Great Tobacco War.
The head of one of the largest St. Louis
manufactories of plug tobacco said to
day: About two years ago we put on
the market a brand of plug tobacco, and
when we figured it out, we found we bad
lost just seven cents a pound. Battle Ax
Plug Tobacco, I am told, Sells for one
cent per pound less than our brand,
which would make tbe loss on it nine
cents per pound. "Battle Ax," how
ever, is superior to tbe one we put out,
And must cost more. to manufacture.
Twenty million pounds of Battle Ax
p'ng tobacco were sold, on which I be-
believe there must have been a loss of at
least ten cents a pound, so on this item
alone tbere seems to have been a loss of
$2,000,000.
From the above statement of a large
plug tobacco manufacturer, who eviden
tly knows what he is talking about, it
would seem to us that the only one who
is benefiting by the Tobacco War is tbe
man who chews "Battle Ax," for he is
certainly getting the fall worth of his
money every time he buys it. . .

Taxes Nearly Due.
heart:
h- t,
The tax roll is about completed, and
will be placed in the hands of the sheriff
for collection tomorrow. The law pro
vides that the roll shall be completed by
the county clerk by March let, but Mr.
Kelsay is oftener a little ahead than be
hind time. A glance over it showed it
to be of unusual excellence, as regards
descriptions, so much so that the data
from it ' would be sufficient to convey
title, without legal aid. Taxpayers will
all be notified within three or four days
of the amount of their taxes, which rray
be remitted by mail, in case the payor
has not the time or inclination to make
a trip to town for the purpose. Taxes
will become delinquent by April 1st,
and a disposition is apparent this year
not to extend tbe time.
