Horse Disease Spreading.
The fatal horse disease is spreading
in Lincoln county, and has made its ap
pearance in all sections. Up to yester
day Dr. Park, of this city, had learned
of twenty-one cases, and of these but
ono had recovered, this exception being
a colt owned by Fred Payne south of
tawn. The 'disease seems to affect
animals differently, same living for a
week after tho disease develops, others
die within twenty-four to thirty hours.
Some of tho ' animals dying have beon
kept in tho stable and fed grain and
hay, so their contraction of the diseaso
was not due to the condition of the
pasturage.
Among the losers iff J. W. Payne who
had a brood mare and two colts die.
Does the high cost of living worry
you? You can reduce it by Ietttng us
wash your clothes with pure soap and
soft water.

never so emphatically as yesterday. The throngs that attended yesterday were by
far the largest we have ever entertained and on all sides were heard exclamations,
of admiration and gratifying praise.
i A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT feature was the libiral purchasing of the new.
goods. Although there is usually very little business transacted on Opening Days,
the prices we placed on the new styles proved so tempting that most of those
-who came only to look remained to buy and bought liberallv.
IT IS THE best we have ever held this Fall Openings is. It is COM
PLETE, AUTHORITATIVE and COMPREHENSIVE. Thousands' upon
thousands -of dollar's worth of fresh, beautiful new Fall pierchandise is on display.?
Every dollar's worth carefully selected by our own buyers, from the productions'
of the leading manufacturers and importers in the trade market?. The style for
Fall are strikingly attractive and we have been careful to select only the latest,
most correct and most practical modes of all.
IF YOU COULD not come before, come now and be our guest, you are sure
to enjoy yourself immensely and you will gain "a fund of style information that will
prove very valuable indeed.
