Sioux City Tribune, 6th: "It has
been persistently rumored for the last
two or three days that the Lion lu W
Mctinire, a large real estate owner
and boat enthusiast of Riverside, has
decided to transfer Li residence to
Crystal lake," said John C Moor iu
a joking way this morning. "It is
stated," continued Mr Moore with a
twinkle in his eye, "that Mr MeOuire
intends to sell his largo holdings of
property at the river, consisting o!
summer cottages, boat houses, eto,
and a large fleet of gasoline, naptha
and steam launches, and invest his
capital in cottages,1 pavilions, bath
houses, boats, etc, at CrysUl lake.
It is rumored, in faot, that Mr Mo
duire intends building a $50,000 pier
at the new resort. Fur some uu
known reason Mr MeOuire has be-
ime dissatisfied with Riverside, -of
which he has Wen an ardent support
er and promoter for years, and thai
resident of that district and. others
who have large investments there are
' greatly worried over the reports re
garding Mr MoO aire's intentions. It
is estimated that if he carries out his
present plans, it will mean the with
(irawil of at leas a quarter of a mill
ion dollars' from UivtrsMe's support.
Several attempts hsve been made by
Tievspnper reporters to iti-rnew Mr
McOiuih, tint he absolrttely refusi-a to
L.Mttt-r aud sais the
il he is tetdy to
make known Ids plans. A very close
business iuMmst.- of Mr McOnires,
however, has staled Hint Crystal lake
is soon to eipeiience a remarkable
boom, which is significant, M sav the
least, of what Mr M sOnire intends to
do. It is possible, that enough prefs-
uie may lo brought t- boar on Mr
MeOuire bv the combined interests

It has been our custom for a number of years to
take invoice between July 20 and August 1; but owing
to our recent absence from business we are obliged to
postpone this inventory for thirty days, and we propose to
give the people of this locality the lowest prices on up-to-date
merchandise which has been their fortune to see. You
will agree that it will be much easier for us to count cash
in this invoice than the long tedious work of pounds, yards
nd individual garments.
It is not necessary at this time to tell you in high
flowing language that we are going to sell goods cheap.
What you want is good goods for the least money, and that
is what we propose to give you.1
As thi3 is positively a cash sale, we do not expect
our friends', under any circumstances, to ask for credit.
Thanking our many patrons for the liberal way they
have treated us in the past and hoping for a continuance
in the future, we are very truly,
. S. A. STINSON.
