We are making a general clean-op iu our
Skirt Department this week. On looking
through our stock we find too many low
priced Skirts. Better ones have had the
preference this season, which is, of course,
not lamented by us. It is our ambition to
fell goods, and the better the qualities the
more agreeable to us. But to the point:
Lack of sales in these cheaper grades leaves
too many on our racks, and to give them
the benefit of a good-bye start as well as to
give our customers a special opportunity,
we have marked about fifty black and fancy

Before returning to the United States
our Paris commissioners will secure

United States of a strong island, one of

A PECULIAR REMEDY
Something About the New Discovery for
. Curing Dyspepsia.
The Eev. F. I. Bel), a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cayuga
Co., N. Y., in a recent letter writes as '
follows: "There has never been any
thing that I have taken that has relieved
the dyspepsia from which I have suffered
for ten years except the new remedy
called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Since
taking them I have bad no distress at
all after eating and again after long
years can sleep well. Eev. F. I. Bell,
Weedsport, N. Y., formerly, Idalia,
Colo."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a re
markable remedy,. not only because it is
a certain cure for all forms of indiges
tion, by because it seems to act as thor
oughly in old chronic cases of dyspepsia
as well as in mild attacks of indigestion
or biliousness. A person has dyspepsia
simply because the stomach is over
worked, all it wants is a harmless, vege
table remedy to digest the food nd thus'
give it the much needed rest.
This is the secret of the success of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life-and energy is
given not only to the stomach but to every
organand nerve in the body .A trial of this
splendid medicine will convince the most
skeptical that dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles can be cured. The tabiets are
prepared by the F. A. Stuart Co., of
Marshall Mich., but so popular has the
remedy become that Stuart's Dyspepsia j
Tablets can now be obtained at any drug
store at 50 cents per package. Send for
book on stomach diseases free.

Crew Lost
100 PERSONS
WERE DROWNED
Over One Hundred Vessels Wrecked
Outright or Blown Ashore In
coming Vessels Have Brought a
Few Sailors From Wrecks.
Boston, Nov. 29. A special to the
Herald from North Truro says :
The steamer Portland, of the Boston
& Portland Steamship Company, ply
ing between Boston and Portland, was
wrecked Sunday morning off Highland
light, and .that the entire crew and pas
sengers perished. A large quantity of
wreckage including trunks and materi
al has washed ashore, and at dark last
night thirty-four bodies had been re
covered from the surf by the life-saving
crews at High Head station.
News of the disaster wag brought by a
special train, as communication to Bos
ton by wire from Cape Cod points, is
impossible, owing to the storm.
There were about 100 persons aboard
the Portland, including the officers and
crew.
The Portland was built in Bath, Me.,

in 1890, and was a side-wheel steamer
of 1317 tons net burden. Her length
was 230 feet, beam 42 and depth 15 feet.
She was valued at $250,000, and was
fully insured.
Summing Up of the Disaster. -
Boston, Nov. 29. From reports that
have come by wire, mail and paseenger
train to the Associated Press from New
England points up to 10 o'clock tbis
morning it is difficult to estimate the
total loss of life and damage to shipping
along this coast, as the result of the re
cent storm. The list of the disasters
seems to grow every boor, and from the
dispatches thus far received, it seems
that at least thirty schooners have been
wrecked at different points from East
port, Me., to New Haven, Conn.
Eighty-six schooners have been driven
ashore and fourteen barges are aground.
This list does not include the thirty
vessels, . either wholly or partially
wrecked in Boston harbor, nor half a
dozen or more crafts which are reported
missing. When added the number ex
ceeds 110 vessels.
The Iosb of life is bard to determine.
It is known that about fifty people per
ished in and about Bosion harbor. Re
ports from other places in some cases
state that the crew of this or that vessel
escaped. Many, however, state that the
fate of the crews is unknown, some sur
vivors having turned np, and life-saving
Btations and incoming vessels have
brought a few sailors from wrecks.
Perhaps a score would cover those of
whom nothing is known, not including;
sixty-five or more who were on board
the Portland.
Yellow Jaundice Cared.
Suffering humanity should be supplied
with every means possible for its relief
It is with pleasure we publish the follow
ing: "This is to certify that I was a
terrible sufferer from Yellow Jaundice
for over six months, and was treated by
some of the beet physicians in our city
and all to no avail. Sr. Bell, our drug
gist, recommended Electric Bitters;
and after taking two bottles, I was en
tirely cured. I now take great pleasure
in recommending them to any person
Buffering from this terrible malady. I
am gratefully yours, M. A. Hargity,
