Displayed by sidewalk clothiers in their efforts to hoodwink the public is
Almost daily you arc confronted with blazen banners announcing a sale of clothing at half regular price. Others state they are to retire from the cares of
business and generously offer to bequeath their stock to the public at fifty cents on the dollar. Others finding their business has taken wings and flown , try in
vain to call it back by scant music , but these stereotype "Mark Down" and other worthless attractions , have always proven a failure in the end. It is no use. The
public tell us they "have been there before. " We'find there is but one way to secure and mantain custom ; and that is , to act honestly , justly and uprightly toward
the public , by selling them only such goods as will give them perfect satisfaction , and at honest prices ; and under all circumstances to advertise nothing but facts
This is the platform on which we first started , and to which we have atall times adhered. Hence our phenominal success. Fakers of trashy clothing , as well as
agents of high cost clothing , have had their day and trade is fast coming to the house which does business on the legitimate , where the rich and poor , judge or no
judge , can both come and buy their clothes , furnishings , or head gear , knowing that they are not only good and reliable , but are sold at one and always the lo\y- .
est prices. We take this occasion to invite all , after having looked through the odds and ends of Mark Down , Shoddy & Co. , to visit our store Southwest corner
15th and Douglas st. and look through our suits for men and youths for $10.00. Every garment is of this season's make , which we sell at prices far below all
competitors.
P. S. You will find bargains in all our departments and our goods' new and fresh , and of the latest designs and patterns. :

ST. P.GTKiisnuua , April 2. [ Special
Correspondence of THIS BKK. ] Nothing
whatever Is known in Petersburg about
the reported attack on the czar , and if
such an attack did take place it is known
, only to H. M. and the English corre
spondent who made it public. It is true
that , It is worth the living , if not the
liberty of un ollleial to speak , or for an
editor to write about such incidents of
Russian court life , but still , if the story
were true there would have boon aleak-
age of particulars somewhere , which is
not the case. On the ether hand , had
buuh an attack followed the Borkl
miracle not a member of the liberal
pnrtv in either Petersburg or Moscow
wou Id have been in the least surprised
at the news. It may bo set down as a
dead certainty that before many months
uro out pot otio , but a whole series of
attacks will bo inado against the c/.ar.
Bis days of grace arc well nigh passed ,
and people are waiting anxiously for
some manifestation of that spirit of re
form , of which so much was said on his
accession.
The scourging with scorpions how
ever , goes on vigorously. Tolstoi's in
famous project of instituting a number
of Bo-callcd "crown prefects of dis
tricts , " is on the eve of being accepted
by the czar. * Those prefects , who will
bo nctty dictators in the districts under
their control , and who are to have nb-
holitto power oVer the police and magis
trates , may bo looked upon as BO ninny
workmen sent out from Gatschimv to
demolish the ridiculously small cdillco
of liberty which it has taken the Rus-
Hiuu people centuriesjto build up. An
other part of their worlc will bo to
thoroughly disgust the people and to
destroy what remnants of affection and
loyalty to the czar remain. They may
bo regarded as the sappers of
A NKW AllMY OK NIIUUSTfi.
Discontent is general , and for the fol
lowing reasons , beyond the reactionary
homo policy of the czar :
I. Tlio incertitude occasioned by the
. elaborate preparations for war.
: J. The uncertain and wavering for
eign policy of the government.
II. Tlio favor at the court of M. do
Oliirs , whose German origin and well.
known vaxaalugo to nismarck render
him the most unpopular man in the em
pire outside the walls of Gntschina.
4. The deplorable state of the Russian
fortrosbos , which , according to General
Radotski , in spite of the enormous sums
spent upon thorn , nro totally inadequate
for modern requirements.
0. Tlio recent statement of General
Tcherevino in the presence of the czar
that the Russian army rillo is in every
way inferior to the weapons of the ether
Knronoan armies.
0. The Increasing persecution of the
RasUolm und other dissenters.
7. The many recent gross violations
of the common law , as in iho case of the
illegal application of the death penalty.
feollls in consideration of this general
cay ng of discontent that it is safe to
U that before long Russia will be tuq
* ' tcoao of outrages to which voa Iba
most sanguinary oxploitsof the nihilists '
will have been but child's play. The
vigorous campaign instituted by the
'
minister procurator of tlio holy 'synod
( minister of religion ) Poviedonost/eff ,
against the dissenters aud carried out
bj means of agents whoso duty it Is to
work upon the superstitions of the peas
ants , is already beginning to bear fruit
of sweet savor to the bigots of the court.
In the village of Rebedelawka , the
peasants have attacked a number of
bchtundisti dissenters who refused to
allow a child to bo baptised. Tlio
schtundisti wore severely beaten and
exposed , tied hand foot , in a market
place. The persons who took part
in the outrage have just been
sentenced to various heavy terms of im
prisonment. It is understood , however ,
that by order of the Produrator , the
to n ton co will bo remitted.
Apropos of the recent decision of the
government to re-open the
IIIUH SCHOOLS FOK WOMEN ,
it may bo remarked that these were
originally founded by private initiative
chiolly with a view to the formation of
women doctors , in the decade of 1870-
1880. After the death of Alexander II.
the government closed all these schools
except the ono at Petersburg. Tlio rea
son of this was that the professors , be
ing maintained by private subscriptions
were entirely independent of the gov
ernment. Tliroo years ago the Peters
burg school was also closed , on the pre
text of remodelling the scholastic pro
gramme. Recently , however , thanks
to the increasing efforts of the Society
for the Protection of Female Instruc
tion , the minister determined to allow
the Petersburg school to bo re-opened
under certain restrictive conditions.
Since this decision has been made
a largo number of subscriptions have
been sent in towards the expenses of
the school. Curiously enough many of
tlio sums ( includingono of 50.000 roubles
Irom General Schaniawski ) figure on
the list us in commemoration of the
Barki miracle. At the same time Mos
cow , Odessa. Kazan , Kiel ? and Kiirkoft
are all petitioning to bo allowed to
reopen their school for women. This is
Swing's great ofTonsc to the govern
ment , who see in it an antagonistic
spirit.
The empress has boon earning great
popularity Jn the army by the following
generous act : On Monday morning last
every soldier in the guards in Peters
burg received a handsome brier-wood
pipe , silver mounted and engraved with
the czarina's initials , as a present from
her majesty. Nor wore tlio soldier's
wives forgotten , and each received an
elegant kerchief , or coilTure , such as
Russian women wear , in the imperial
colors. These acts of pure kindness on
the part of the royal lady are , of course ,
being sneered at by the radicals , who
say , "No constitution , but a pipe for
Michael , or a kerchief for Miohaola. "
A llugrant violation of the common
law which restricts the infliction of the
death penalty to political offences has
taken place at Medwicditza ( Don. ) ,
where Convicts Mordnnlno and Oou-
zinko have been hanged. Tliolr crime
was the murder of the prison governor ,
and no doubt the punishment was mer
ited , if it had boon legal. The attitude
of the two men on the scaffold was calm
and dignified. Mordanine , before dying ,
addressed the assembled convicts , and
insisted on the illegality of his punish
ment , while admitting that ho deserved
death. Ho ended with an appeal to the
Cossacks to remember their rights.
This affair has produced a great impres
sion in the country.
Miss Sosledoma has made herself
quite a reputation among the good pee
pie of Simybaropol , whore she is known
by the soubriquet of
"DAUQUTKU OV TUB ! PRISON. "
Thli youug lady , who la only twenty-
two years of ago , and remarkably beau
tiful , has passed more than sixteen
years of her life in jail. Her debut in
the world -was in prison. Her parents
were both habitual criminals , her father
being a notorious horsothiof. During
her brief visits to the outer world Miss
Sosiodoma exercised the profession of
cook , but invariably returned to jail on
sentences for assault on her employers.
She has a most irascible temper. Her
ivst term in prison was u punishment
'or having expressed In open court her
pinion that the Tolta magistrates were
'all pigs , ' ' She had just been sentenced
, o exile in Siberia , and on hearing this
lentonce pronounced she thanked the
udgos kindly and said , "I am so sick of
being in prison that if you had sent mo
back there I should have thrashed
every man of you. "
HIS IDEA OF JUSTICE.
On Tuesday morning last two cabt
entered the courtyard of the pilace os
the minister of finance and drove up to ,
the entrance of hiaexcellency's private
apartments. One of these caos was
"acloti with trunks , portmanteaux , books
und articles of private property ; the
ether contained un old gentleman
dressed in the uniform of an official of
the treasury , who sprang out and made
for the entrance. The porter , barring
the way , asked him his business. "I
have como , " ho said , "to see the minis
ter , John Aloxcsicjitsch , und I have
come to stay. Bo kind enough to look ,
after my luggage whilst I take charge
of-the pillowcases niul bedding. " The
porter , stuiiolicd by this strange an
swer , asked the old gontlomann to wait ;
and rushed off to toll ono of the ushers
of his arrival and request. Meanwhile
the old gentleman , followed by the cab
man carrying his luggage , mudo his
way into the antechamber , and , tiaving
arranged his bedding on ono of the vel
vet benches , was about to take oil his
coat , when the olllciul came on tiio
scene.
"What are you doing , and what do
you want ? " lie asks.
' 'I am making myself nt homo , " an
swers the old gentleman in a calm
voice , as ho begins to unlace his boots.
" 1 have como to BOO the minister. I
am an olllciul in the N. department of
the ministry of finance. "
"Did His Excellency send for you ? "
"Oh , not Only ho turned mo out of
my post before 1 have boon 'tried and
convicted on a charge that is being
brought against mo , and so I have made
up my mind to stay with His Excellency
whilst the prosecution is being got up.
I cannot sleep in the street , and an His
Excellency has turned mo out of doors ,
it is , you will admit , clearly his duty ,
to provide mo with a homo until I am
found guilty of the alienee for which
he has made mo homeless. "
"Then , I suppose , you are personally
known to the minister11" !
"No , I have not that honor. And
now , please show mo to u private room
and carry up my property. "
The usher noi knowing what to do ,
goes and tolls his oxcollonoy'ssecretary ,
to whom the old gentleman calmly re
peats his story und his request to bo
shown to a comfortable room und to have
somebody curry up his property. The
secretary asks him if ho is out of his
mind. . The olu gentleman does not
think so , and seems to think his logic
unattuckubio. As no ronboning will
convince him the police is tout for and
ho is ignnminiously thrown into the
street with his property , Jtis not quite
clear whether the rnuu was really in
earnest or hud hit on this curious device -
vice for the purpose of bringing his
grievances directly under the minister's
notice. The laugh of St. Petersburg is ,
however , entirely on his sido.
Another set of colnors was at the om\ \
of last week discovered amongst the
prisoners in Meletopolojcul in Crimea ,
- -
. I
The governor of this prison had been
for some time past convinced that coin
ing was being curried on , but hud never
been able to place the otVondors until
one night a peculiarly pungent odor
rising above the usual smell of cheap
tobacco fumes put him on the scent. He
discovered that the convicts molted the
lead for 10 cent pieces in little cups
over charcoal tires which they lighted
on the floor of their cells , dissimulating
their operations behind their clothes.
'
The casting of'the coins was carried out
in bed under the bed clothes. Three
16 cent pieces , it transpired , were con
sidered an excellent night's work by ,
each of the coiners.
In a petition which has just been ad
dressed to the czar by the Russian
Evangelical union , II. M. is prayed to
put a stop to the unceasing religious
persecutions which are being carried
out in the empire at the instigation of
the procurators of the holy synod. The
petitioners amongst the number of
wliorn are included such eminent Evan
gelical pastors as ] ? . Borrogo , G. Code ,
E. Neville and others insist on relig
ious liberty for all , while pointing out
that those who diilor only slightly in
creed from that of the established
Orthodox church are just as badly
treated as the Roman Catholics and the
Lutheran Protestants. It is remarked
hero that Messrs. . Godo , Neville and
fellow petitioners might just as well
have chalked their reclamations on the
solos of their boots.

The Omaha boat club has bcon reorgan
ized , and takes a now louse of life under
promising auspices. Four years ago it
started out with a hurrah , and built a fine
boat house at Cut Off lako. Unfortunately ,
however , tbo weeds In the lake made it Im
possible to do Rood rowing and the enthu
siasm of the members failed. A few of the
zealous levers of the sport , however , deter
mined to keep the organization alive and re
moved the club house- and headquarters to
Lake Manawa , on tlio Iowa sido. They now
have the club house handsomely lilted up ,
and have about $1,500 worth of hoats.
The dam that w.is nullt at Mnn-
awn raises the water several Inches
and makes the rowing course mi exception
ally flno ono. With the establishment of the
club in its now quarters , the old members
nro coming hack and the outlook for a season
of line sport is especially promising.
It is too lute , now , for the club to think of
sending n representation to the Spirit Luke
regatta in June ; hut the members will have
a number of local contests at Manawa and
will lit themselves for club work next sea
