What.is known and sold as ready-made clothing, is cloth
ing cut out by machinery, put together by machinery .and
with the aid of STARVING FEMALE LABOR. Such a
garment stamps the wearer on sight as dressed in slops.
He not only looks it, but as. a consequence feels it. Men
are learning that they cannot afford to be ill-dressed.
Slops have had their day. Our ready to wear clothing
expresses exactly what the name would implyquite
ready to wear; made by tailors, designed by an artist,
sewed with the best linen and silk, cut to fit the form of
man be he tall, short, stout or thin. Any man not a posi
tive malformation can be fitted by our clothing. By fitted
we mean dressed so that he looks a gentleman and pos
sesses that feeling ot comfort and air of ease that always
marks the. well dressed happy man. See our

lue hijrh scnool had a rare
treat yesterday afternoon in listen
mg to the readings given by San

gave selections from three of Shake

Quite a curiosity, in the shape
of an old auiet claim deed, was

organized; territory, consequently
the back of the deed shows that it
was filed in Buffalo county. The
date of that was-October "27, 1870.
A curious feature about the face of
the deed isa-fifty cent internal rev

It is expected that the fruit will be
gin to go through quite rapidly
now.
Fifth district engine 1404 is in
the shops having her boiler re
paired so she can go on to Omaha,
where she will receive a general
overhauling.
Tbe 1403 came out of the shops
