This is a lino of work not very often called (or in Lincoln, but tho Incident emphasizes a point well worth bearing In mind. It Is this: No matter what you may want in the way o( work or In tho way ot goods that ordinarily come within n jeweler's lino, the thing to do is to seo Hallett. His facilities enable him to fill almost any order that should naturally go to a first class Jeweler, and hewlll do it at ren sonablo figures.

Mr. Jones keeps a complete line of strictly first class goods and will be pleased to show them to all callers atNos. 1018-1030 N street, second floor. Old papers, large and clean, to wrap up bundles with or put under carpets, for sale at this ofllce at t cents per hundred. Since the world began to put on iccord Its great disasters, the terriqle revolt of nature against man who would master her, there have been (ew such woe(ul horrors as the Johnstown Howl. Ten thousand people were drowned, nearly three times the number were heart broken and suddenly bereft of their means of support. It Is important to have such a narrative as this given to the wot Id in a permanent record, which is accurate as well as grapic. The last book on tho subject, entitled "The Johnstown Flood," published by II. 8. Goodspeed & Co., of ew York, Is full of intense interest, and tells It story with wonderful (orco. The author, we ore told, spent considerable tlmo at the ruined city and gathered his (acts at first hand, hav ing mado a careful personal study of the sit uation and all tho circumstances involved in the catastrophe. The publishers have em bodied it in an admirably mado octavo book of 532 pages, with 43 full page Illustrations, j which all educated people will appreciate.
