ATliat Hoc * It Mean ?
That was the question asked by almost
every person that passed the Doston Store
two weeks ago.
The cause of It was the arrival of the flrst
lot of our wall paper stock , consisting of all
grades of paper hangings from the brown
backs to the silk papers. Last season we
sold almost every roll of paper we had In
the place , and start In this season with a
much larger and finer line than ever , as
well as by far the largest stock and lowest
prices In the city.
Read the following list ot prices :
Brown backs , 3c.
White blanks , 4c.
White blank mlcos , 6V4c.
White blank gilts , 7c and 8c.
Full gilt and bronzes , lOc , 12Uc , 15c.
Embossed gilt , 17c.
These papers are all straight goods and
bought from the combination , but that makes
n < ) difference to us. We sell wall paper
came as dry goods small profits and large
tales.
P. S. If you want any papering or paintIng -
Ing done do not fall to give us a chance to
furnish an estimate. Wo have engaged Dloss
Bros , to do our papering and painting this
season , and their name is enough to satisfy
you that everything done will be first-class.

Two More C/'n p < .
T ro now cases of smallpox vrero reported
yesterday , the patients , as before , Doing in
the house at the corner of G and Tenth
streets. They are Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman , sr.
This makes a total so far of seven cases , six
ol the patients being alive and. so far as ap
pearances indicate , with a fair show for re
covery. All but the two last are progressing
finely , nnd the last two liavo not been sick
lontr enough to have It known how seriously
their cases arc.
The city odlcials , nnd particularly Marshal
Tcmploton nnd Cltv Physician Macrae , are
congratulating thcmsolvcs on the prudence
they manifested in having Bennett , the flrst
patient , put under quarantine as soon ns the
nature of hl dlsciswas discovered.Vhon
they flrst told the other Inmates of the three
houses where Bennett had been that they
must bo shut up from the world for
forty days the latter did n great deal
of vigorous protesting. They protested that
they hnd nut been exposed to the disease nt
all , but in spite of their protests the ciuar-
antinc regulations were adopted and strictly
enforced. If Bennett hnd been allowed to-
run at larco for another day there is not a
doubt that" he would have increased the
amount of dainaco ten fold. The smallpox
scare has been a matter of consldcraolo cx ?
ponse as it is. but nothing to be compared
with what it might have boon if guards had
not been stationed at the Infected houses
with guns and instructions to use them if
necessary , to keep the quarantined persons
In the house. The time for keeping tno people
ple in the house at the corner of First avo-
nucand Fourteenth street shut up has al
most expired , nnd If the disease iocs not
breaK o'.t there they will undoubtedly bo
turned loose some time this week. City
Physician Macrae's contract has expired ,
thcru now bcine twn more cases than he
agreed to care for for fJOO. A meeting of the
Board of Health will bo held soon to make ; a
new contract wltn him.

Drawer' of Mason City paisetl through this

hero he sent his reply to these who
met at Mason City last Friday
and adopted resolutions expressing
their wishes regarding legislation affecting
temperance. After stating that ho had read
the resolutions and had given them careful
consideration and assuring the citizens that
ho was willing to give respectful attention to
the wishes of any of his constituents ho nald
his final action would be controlled by the
party which elected him and upon whose
.platform he stood and that no man could
Save misunderstood him when a candidate.
He then cays :
"In looking over the names of your com
mittee and of these associated with them In
enough of them who were- engaged In the
this movement It strikes me that there were
last campaign In an attempt to defeat the
party I represent to first warrant me In
taking advice of the large majority of my
constituents.
You have give me the platform of the
Dennett-Mitchell crowd of last fall and the
party I stand for sat down on that class of
Irrcconcllables very heartily at that time.
I submit - to your secondary judgement
whether the resolutions you offer me for my
guidance are In keeping with Instructions of
my party In state convention assembled In
August last.
"My deliberate conviction leads me and
my conslence dictates to the command of
my party rather than the request of a small
meeting of citizens acting upon what appears
to be hasty Impulse and mistaken zeal.
"Frank L ) . Jackson , not Dennett Mitchell ,
was elected and the" modification promised
In Jackson's platform In the light and
spirit of the discussion on the Struble
amendment , will be the kind I will work for
sln fulfilment of the republican promise and
the measure I have presented will meet

Gigantic I-imcl Swindle Snlcl to Have Keen
Engineered Thcr - .
ST. LOUIS , Feb. 12. A special to I'M Re
public from Sioux City , la. , says : It has Just
come to the surface that a land swindle of
large proportions was worked on eastern In-
vcstors during the palmy days of Sioux
City's boom , and up to the present time the
victims have kept still about It. The
swindlers bought a largofarm just east of
the city , where land is not very expensive ,
and platted It Into small lots , which were
deeded to various persons In the deal.
Mortgages were given for payment In sums
nearly as large as the alleged sale price of
the lots , and the manager , with these evi
dences of sale , went eastward In search of
Investors.
He borrowed money , giving his notes and
putting up his mortgages as security. In
these ways he raised from $300 to $400 on
each lot and secured thousands of dollars
from eager capitalists Holders of some of
these notes and mortgages recently wrote tea
a leading law firm to have them commence
foreclosure proceedings and Investigation re
vealed the fact that the lots are not worth
what It would cost to secure them by a fore
closure. The parties then , It Is stated ,
ordered the lawyers to carry the matter be
fore the grand jury and evidence Is being
prepared for this purpose.

I'OVll KILLED J.COLLISION. .
Disastrous Wreck In Ohio Canned' by the
IJIImllne hnou.Storm. .
BELLEVUE , O. , Feb. 12. Two freight
trains collided on the Wheeling Lake Erie
road In the storm this morning , two miles
west of this place. Four men were killed.
Doth trains were running at full speed , the
blinding snow preventing the engineers from
seeing the danger. The collision was ter
rific , both engines being smashed into scrap
Iron. The frelpht cars were broken
Into splinters and piled up In the
confusion. A wrecking train with
physicians was sent from Norwalk. When
It arlved the trainmen were still In the
wreck and were extricated one by one. The
following were either killed outright or
have died since the collision :
ENGINEER CONNELL of engine 25.
FIREMAN M'MULLIN of engine 25.
ENGINEER SAM STOW of engine 29.
BRAKEMAN JOHNSON of train No. 40.
The bodies of all the above were mutilated
and their limbs broken. The rest of the
trainmen escaped without injury , except
severe bruises.
The cause of the wreck will probably re
main a mystery , as both engineers are dead.
Freight No. 5 was running as section two
of passenger train No. 4 , which passed
freight No. 40 at Belleville. The presump
tion Is that the engineer of No. 28 failed to
Eee the signals she carried , In consequence
of the storm , and started out , supposing the
track to be clear.
