Corsets
“ FRO N T LA CED ”
H E front laced models
are the culminatiou of
the latest and best ideas in
corset fashion. They re
model the figure, giving it
a perfectly moulded back,
giving it lines of grace aud
symmetry and the long, ta-
periug curves which are so
artistically beautiful. They
reduce the full figure, giving it the flattened front aud slender hip
effects, 'they are absolutely hygienic aud have the endorsement
of the leading physicians and dressmakers.
We call special at
tention to the model illustrated which is made iu two lengths, high
bust, for the tall figure, and medium bust, for the shorter waisted
stout figure. This model is extremely long over the back and hips.
The extra lacing in the back from the waist-liue down permits an
absolutely perfect adjustment over the back and assists further iu
keeping the hips iu perfect subjection, thus giving the so-called
hipless figure.
We carry the front laced corsets iu a varied line
of materials at prices ranging from $2..SO to *12. We cordially
invite the ladies of our city and vicinity to visit our corset depart
ment aud inspect these most exquisite models. Consultation and
fitting free.

Bad Fire Narrowly Avarted.
Sunday evening at about eleven
o'clock a fire alarm was turned iu
and the fire laws responded
promptly. The fire originated in
the Porter Bros, brick upstairs
over the Griffin, Yeatch Hardware
store and Pearce & Shepardson's
grocery. The fire seemed to have
started iu the closets used for stor
ing wood by the teueuts upstairs—
I)r. Oglesby, Attorney Johnsou
and Dentist Ingram. Iu one of
these closets was found a pine box
half filled with ashes, which had
been removed from a stove and it
is possible that a live coal may
have started a fire iu this box. At
any rate the flames had crept up
in the walls and into ihe attic be
tween the ceiling and roof, filliug
the entire upstairs with a dense
black smoke before it was detect
ed. The new chemiele engine
was put to work, two streams of
water were turned on and the
flames were soon under control,
but not before the lower stores
were given a thorough soaking, re
sulting iu several hundred dollars
damage to goods in the grocery
and hardware store, with also con
siderable damage iu the offices
up-stairs. The fire adjusters are
here today and an estimate of the
damage will soon be made. This
has been considered one of the
best bricks in town and little was
thought of a fire originating in
this quarter.
An amusing spectacle the morn
ing after the fire was a fine display
of liquid refreshments, being re
vealed in one of the closets from
which the door had been tom
during the course of the fire and
it was casually remarked that this
quarter ‘‘seemed to wet to bu m .”
