Many customers remarked: My, I don't eeeiiow you can afford to sell snch good mer chandise so cheap." One lady remarked to an other that she always felt so safe in trading with Mr. Ko- lan ; always was satisfied ; that she had her money's worth in good goods. Her friend's answer was, indeed my whole family always ieei at home here. Remarks like the ahoyeare very gratifying to us and we shall do onr utmost to double our efforts right along. -THE BEE T MB OPENED UITH A UOCJDEREUL RUSH.; At this writing, the storie is crowed to its doors witli eager buyers. The Red Tag Sale Bargains have proren their effectiveness. While the crowd is dense and jostling, it is good-natured. It's truly hard lor a per- son to lose patience in face of such savings as this sale has marshalled out in Red Tag attire,and to-morrow's crowd will be none the less noiseless. Why should it? Stocks will be replenished, and new goods will be added You lost mtney if you stayed away to-day--but the loss isn't irrevocable, that's a consolation. To-morrow you have another chance, but after, that well , we won't promise every line to oe compieie. . WE WILL MAKE NO Profits on BLANLETS and COMFORTS this WEEK. Announcement Our Apology. Whilst we hare not as yet received xne single complaint during this rushing sale, we feel that some of our friends did not get waited on as com fortably as expeeted; to all such we tender 'bur 'apolo gies, at tht same time hop ing that one and all will make known their grie van ces, if any, so that we can promptly givt you satisfac tion.

High -The to "I am not surprised; they stoued and persecuted Jesus Christ, why not me?" was the remark with which George Harmon re ceived the information, Friday, that he wasto be taken to the in sane asylum at Salem on the fol-r lowing day. Continuing, .ar mon said that he received 'calls" from God and that when he was instructed to use the rod on his children he would have to obey. In order to quill this obedience to "calls" the authorities found it necessary to place Harmon un der arrest the early part of last week, after he had administered a horsewhipping to his three daughters, aged 19, 15 and 10, i beating the eldest about the head and face with his fists, as related in the last issue of the Gazette. The authorities say that Har mon was pertectly sane on any aad all other topics, but that when religion was mentioned he was completely ."off.' He ' be lieved himself inspired by God to da as he did, he stated, and seem' ed to think -he severe beatings that he hail ' given his 'daughters were by divine direction..! ',. .? -'"i .

The menace . of the; griprgrip of. the kind that swept oyer the country in -.i8$i3-is enough tb make the stoutest heart quail. - Of all the aggravating, t enervating, ' depressing abominations thatever,. afflicted humanity the disorder' that goes under this name may well be reckoned the worst. It has not even the grace to reach a fatal termination quickly, but plays upon the here nerves of the victim for weeks and even months b.fore allowing him to escape its clutch by dying. Ot course not everybody who suffers from grip dies, but most of its victims whine protestingly against the continuanceof life that the insinu ating, persistent pest has made a burden too grievous to be hornet. We are told there are now between- k 300 and 400 cases of the debilita ting malady, in this city. To these comes the ukase of experi ence saying: Go to bed, cover up warmly, admit plenty of fresh air in the room, cultivate the grace of patience, eschew drugs, drink plenty of cold water - and mutton broth, hope for the best,, and iind consolation in the thought that a needless doctor's bill has been saved even if an ; undertaker's bill impends. -Ore-onian. . . .
