All of the early corn is al ready practically made, the stock Is dead, the husk dry and the corn dry. Farmers are commencing to feed this year's crop to hogs and cattle. The average yield will be high. The big mall order houses spend an enormous amount of money each year just for postage alone. Take the Red Cloud post-office und it is safe to say thai one establishment alone will spend 1100.00 for postage during the year right in this office. Multiply that by the number of cities and towns In tho state, and by the cities and towns In forty other states, and one can form 'some idea of the large amount of money it costs to send just the catalogues thru the mail This postage is a small part of the expense of tho catalogue but assuming that the printing, paper, cuts etc., that go to make up these catalogues cost four times as much as the postage, one firm alone would spend STiuO.OO in advertis ing just to reach this one post-office. Is it any wonder that the local mer chant Is able to give a better grade of goods for the same money r To know what to 'doTjwltU popular magazine after one has. read hcrais fuaw pauwivau iui sasunw minoi jaw ually they are saved with the idea that they may be useful sometime but by the time house cleaning comes around theraooiimulatlo1Tn'ort than can be enrlured and away they go to the bon fire. Now these magazines would be very acceptable to many people and they should be used until they, are worn out. We have prepared a table in this office for the use of the public and wo invite all people to bring their magazines here after they have read them. They will be well taken cvre of and anyone desiring reading matter can come here and procure it without money and without price. Very few people subscribe tor all the publicat ions but by patronizing the exchange table everyone is welcome to take what he pleases, When you have something good pass it along. We trust that our readers will immediate ly take advantage of this exchange table. Before you forget just buudle up a lot of those magazines that are in your road and bring them here. Fall Suits, Coats and Skirts with a genuine pepper s martness in every line and stitch. They are from the style creating factories that do things first and best. If you will take the time to give them a looking over, we have the time any time to show them. Just as one turns to a thermometer to learn temperature, so one must turn to this store to learn correct styles in Women's Wear. We are the recognized barometer in this territory of what is not only new but what is correctly new. When a style finds its way to our departments, that alone is a guarantee that the wearer of that style will be dressed in perfect harmony with the season's most approved fashion, and for this style satisfaction you pay less here than in any other store in this or other cities. CLOAKS The most popular fabrics this season are Chinchilla, Boucle', Zilelines and other hairy effects. In short, rough fabrics are the stylish thing in coats. Grays, Tans ane Browns are the favorites. Buttons are used in large numbers, are large and to a great ex tent highly colored. SUITS Suits have jackets 32 to 34 inches long. In materials, serges are still the most popular fabric, although there is a strong liking for hairy effects. Skirts are being made a trifle wider than for Spring and appear much more graceful. SKIRTS Every woman feels the v need of an extra skirt, for either dress or street wear, and you can get the kinds here that conform absolutely to the latest fashion, in both material and cut. They are made with the utmost care and you will find exactly what you want here, at the price you wish to pay. We have large, complete stocks of Coats, Suits and Skirts, each and every gar ment being priced as low as possible, consistent with the quality. Not alone in the Ready-to-Wear sections are we prepared for you, but all through the store we have received the New Fall and Winter Merchandise and will be pleased to have you come and see them. The Miner Bros. Co. A T: P,M E Gonmrml Merchants SrWWWWUWWWWWVWWVV WWWWWWrtVWANWVUWWVWWWUWW- When Christianity seemed dead to the masses in the city, and the city churches insulted the misery and vice of the millions of the submerged, William Hooth began his extraordinary work to briug something of the "god good tidings" to their ears. Of course, ha was severely condemued the com fortable occupiers of the pulpits and pews, the burden of whose main tenance was borne ou the bent backs ad stooped shoulders of the millions who had been made unwelcome within the church, liefore his death General Booth saw the Salvation Army honored in most of the cities of Christendom. The Salvation Army developed aud put in practice principles of economy and efficiency. The old churches fol lowing established modes aud preced ents succeeded in keeping themselves ouly at the cost of enormous out lays of money. They did not, aud could aot, exhibit any newness or variety of Christian activity. They displayed no freshness of feeling, no originality of form, no newness of inspiration. To tread, however reverently lu the foot steps of the past Isj orthodox but un christian. To follow iu dull imitation established usages may bo idolatory, butitisnotChrlstianlty. Chrlstalulty Is an up-to-date energy, forever, creat ive of new modes of expression, for ever assuming now forms of activity. Il is a present inspiration, a to-day's birth of the spirit, not futile effort to recall a former rupture. The moment aay form of worship ceases to be suf ficiently vitalized with flesh vigor aud hows the threadbareseamsaud patch es, It is time to put away the old gar ment and adopt the new one. Irk same iteration of uninteresting funct ions has no claim to superior regard, because those functions were formerly navel and exciting. The Salvation Army scouted at for the ignorance of its followers and the uncouthness of its procedure, bad, at least, the merit of novelty, where the churches bad but tiresome repetition, the appearance of enthuslam where the ohurches had but dullness. It mani fested a real Interest in Jhe crying needs of humanity where the churches revealed Indifference. It rescued thousands from vice and poverty where the churches provided addition al salaries to high priced preachers and missionaries. It did this by the expenditure of pennies wbeie the churches extorted dollars. The Salvation Army was fitted especially for the larger towns. A similar movement, fitted for the small er towns and villages aud the country is needed. Who will be the man, pastor or laymau, that will show the people of Red Oloud that Christianity is a living, inexpensive and available force for good, here and now. WhattstktrUtfeM) Bar AsmcMIm? It is a self constituted body of men who represent nobody but themselves. It doubtless coutains Home fairly good lawyers, and some who are not so good. In the uature of things its meetings are attended chiefly by those who onn afford to do so from proximi ty to the place of meeting, from hav ing little else to do, aud other reasons. They ure also attuuded by those who seek to make the association the in strument for getting their oplulons before the country Is nn impressive manner. As a matter of fact there is not a lawyer in this city who pays any heed to the emauatlons from this or ganization. The reported action of the SHSOolatioa adverse to the judicial recall is not supported by a lawyer of this community. We believe that a poll of the lawyers of the country would show that the attorneys 'who practise, before the courts have no idolatrous reverence for the sacredness of judges. In fact, the selection of the judges in America has been the least favorable featnre of our form of government, And the standing of the judges at the bar has seldom been, worthy of their exalted position Most of our judicial elections have been contests between persons who did not possess the esteem of their fellow lawyers to a remarkable extent. The judicial appointees have been even lower In the scale than those selected by the popular vote. Salmon P. Chase is one person of recent years, whose standing before the appoint ment was commensurate with the dignity of the judicial position in which be was placed. There may have been some others, but their names do not readily occur to us. The office has given its dignity to the in cumbent, and there are few Incumb ents who have conferred dignity upon the office. Trading at Home When you desire to raise money, to put through a business proposition in town or county, do you board a train and seek it from capitalists iu some distant city? Well, uot very often. You go down the street calling on overyone in sight, and como back on the other side. And yet some of us, who havu often asked for business favors of our home people lu the past, and will ask for tbcm again, do not hesitate to spend money freely and needlessly in patron ising the merchants of another city; often, too, to our distinct disadvantage and regret. It is an excellent principle in busi ness to staa'd by the people that stlok by you. The man who buys every thing possible at home creates a circle of business friends who appreciate his loyalty and would like to return It In so far as they can. These business relations lead to personal friendship, and they bring returns, not from self interest alone, but from ties of neigh barllness and good fellowship. A great many things in life go by favor. When two propositions look about alike, yob choose tho one that is backed by the man with whom you have had some friendly relation. Every time anyone buys at home he creates that relation, and the fruitage is likely to come back with a surpris ing amount' of compound interest some day, and it often comes from un expected quarters. Those of us who buy goods of some distant concern never get anything in the Way of reciprocity or return. Wo have cast our bread on waters that ilow away and will never return. Who in the big mall order house know or cares about us, save as one cog in the vast machine of distribution, to be ground through the day's work with out the (.lightest feeling of personal friendship or reciprocity? Think about it. Governor of Kansas Offers Reward for Remedy for Horse Disease Topeka. Kas Sept. 11.
