day nnd discussed their slrango significance.
It Is well known that during the last two
years nearly all the Important contracts of
tlio Pullman company with the great rail
roads have been renewed for long terms and
under favorable conditions and It vvns chletly
the accomplishment ot thin task that
prompted Mr Pullman to believe that the
enlth of his company had been reached. The
only matter which , In Mr iPullman's mind ,
remained unsettled was the distribution of
the $2,000.000 : ; of surplus which. It Is said ,
has accumplnted during recent years Plans
for the distribution of this surplus have been
frequently discussed , the ono most persist
ently urged being the doubling of the stock
Mr. Pullman was opposed to this , and au
thority was recently voted In him to nr-
rangu a plan to settle the matter. It Is be
lieved heio that only within the last few
days Mr. Pullman perfected the details of
his plan for the distribution of the surplus

the Unlversiall.sts' doctrine had become so
widely accepted In this country that other
denominations are taking up the liberal spirit ,
while at the same time they show no signs
of relenting In their harsh feelings against
their teachers

coats. Come in now and put one on.
We haven't had one of those cream colored
Overcoats in our lunisc this fall until yesterday ( you
know the kind that nil the fashionable fellows arc
wearing ) because we have been ' 'looking around"
to see where we could do the best. We found a
firm who preferred immediate cash to a job lot of
sizes. We bought 'em all. We'll sell them now
at a small margin of profit. These coats are made
of Covert Cloth , all wool , strap seams , Italian cloth
lining , satin sleeve lining , at $6.00 a price which
makes th'em seem unworthy until you are brought
face to face with them. Remember this is a "job

potratcd by the unspeakable Turk. Wo ex
