There are houses in this city that can sell you an overcoat for § 2.75 and make big money on it , but we can't although we do sell you a woo'cu overcoat for $2,75 that wasn't made in Sing .Sing. We don't make any money on it cither- neither do we have to "chew the rag" to find out if it's wool you can see the wool yourself and besides it is made in the latest style , long cut. As to our $ .75 overcoat it is all wool , with an inch wider velvet collar and two inches longer cut in the body and batter trimmed than any coat in this city for twice the money , or advertised as snaps by unscrupulous houses. Made by legitimate tailors , too. Every overcoat we sell isUnion Made , " and although the price may often be below New York sweat house prices , you can rely upon the goods , the quality , the style , the make although we don't make such an awful sight on them. There's no use talking we do the business , getting bigger and bigger every day , for the people are finding out-that we sell only first class goods at a price that sets competitors crazy. Ill the meantime we shall continue this week , at least selling what there are left of those broken sizes in OVERCOATS and SUITS displayed in our window , worth two and three times our price for a five dollar bill.

Dr. Towno was caned out Monday night to attend a girl named Hart , who lived on Pa cific street near the shot tower and was sup posed to be almost within the realm of the grim destroyer. The girl's father called up the physician by telephone and exhorted him to hurry or he would be too late to save the girl's life. Dr. Towne hurriedly dressed and faced the cold wind. In the expectation that 'he was going to bo Just In time to snatch his patient from Impending dissolu tion. He arrived at the house Indicated , to find his patient lying on the- bed appar ently unconscious. He examined her closely , but was unable to find any trace of disease. Her pulse and temperature wore normal and there was nothing to Indicate that the fears of the father were 'well grounded. He ad ministered a stimulant , but It appeared to hava no effect. "Somewhat puzzled by the queer symptoms of the case , he questioned the rest of the family , and finally the father reluctantly admitted that earlier In the evening the g'rl had manifested a vigorous1 disposition to sot aside the parental authority , and that authority had been upheld by virtue of a slipper , which had been religiously applied In the old fashioned way. This afforded the physician a pointer , and ho soon tumbled to the real state of affairs. Somewhat nettled at having his test broken on account of a girl who bad determined to get even for a paddling by frightening her parents Into a belief that she had gone Into a mortal syncope , he concluded to geb a little even and cure the patient at the same time. Assuming the most grave anxiety ho made another examination of the patient and as sured the trembling father that her condi tion was Indeed serious and nothing but horolo measures cdutd afford relief.

As he entered Ward went for the. back door and Sullivan went outside to head 'him off. Ward , how ever , had concealed himself In a dark closet and It was In there that the officer found him. When searched by the officer Ward had nothing on his person , but In a corner of the closet was found a loaded revolver. Ward told Sullivan that he had Just come from Detroit. ' At the station he said that he hailed from Montana. To explain why he had the revolver In his possession he said While he was In Montana he had rescued a boy from "Texas Red , " who was beating the lad with a potato masher , and after that Texas had sworn to have his blood at the first opportunity. Ward had concluded that It was his duty to protect his blood , and he had consequently Invested In the weapon. The police think that Ward has come neither from Detroit nor Montana , but from Sioux City. They also think that Word Is a house breaker and that he has been working at his trade between that city and Omaha.
