Perhaps the most really sensational sale tint has c < cr taken place In this city Is the ono that entails the closing out entirely ot the Continental's tailoring department on the Fccond floor. Making any suit to order from any piece of goods In the custom room for $25 00 Is an mhe.aid of proceeding Tailors are em phatic In the statement that It Is bcjond human possibility to mnko to measure a si'lt of elot'jen for $3500 IM alo.ir$2500 , nnd put In all the first-class trimmings and llnlnp-j and the best workmanship that the Continental cmplojs This Is true as gospel but the Continen tal are determined to close out this feature of their business befoio January 1 , to make room for a new clcrnrtmcnt , nnd they are not going to allow the lost ) of dollars to stand In the way.

The Continental has made almost as great a reputation for fine tailoring , to order , as thej have In their ready to wenr department. There are * any number of people who cannot bo fitted unless the tailor does It or at least they think so and as a consequence the Continental has been making suits for the best cltlrcns of Omaha , who are taking ad vantage of this chance to have made up to their order any piece of goods In the store for the ono prlco of $25.

Accoicling to Chief Iledell , the lire In the Anson boarding stable near Sixteenth nnd Leavenworth streets , which resulted In the death of eight horses , was duo to a defective chimney. It was found on Investigation that a hole In the chimney on the second floor had been stopped with a piece of plank Sparks had eaten their way through the board and Into the mass of hay that was piled against It. Chief Iledell thinks that some of the horrcs might have been saved and the damage lessened If the alarm had been turned In a few minutes earlier , as the cmplojes could easily have done. Instead of turning ; In the alarm from a telephone located In the atablc , they ran a block to the nearest fire alarm box. The few minutes gained thereby gave the flro a big start. "Peoplo forget that all they have to do Is to call up telephone No. 37 and glvo the location of n fire , " said the chief.

Thro" deaths have been reported In the past three dajs nnd a personal investiga tion of each case has established the fact that In all human frobablllty the lives might have been saved If the proper precautions had been taken In time. Dr. Tow no holds that the use of antl-toxlnc Is just as advis able In the cases of so-called membranous croup as In cases where the disease Is called diphtheria. It Is so used In Chicago and Nenv York , with the result that the patients have recovered In nearly every cane. Ho sajs that In caseu whcro there U any doubt a phjslclan should be called at once , as It Is essential that the treatment should bo given before the disease has made any progress. _ miir.T.s ; TOIL imisni.r AMI WIPB. ncHiicrnto Act of .1.

Yatcs Is usually with President Cleveland and the present administration on the majority of questions , ho does- not coincide with the recommendations regarding national banks. In > esterday morning's dispatches from "Washington , wes > /given o synopsis of a report from ' Comptroller Eckels. Among ether things i Mr. Eckels recommends that small Independent na- _ tlonnl banks bo given permission to establish In small towns upon a capital an low as $25,000. Ho also recommended that national banks In cities bo permitted to establish branch banks In small to\vns * , which shall have full powers of national banks with the exception of Issuing currency. "I would be opposed to the establishment of national banks on small capital , " said Mr. Yatts jesterday morning , "I think that there arc too many national banks now. Such small banks would bo unsafe * because the depositors would not be given enough security by the small capital Invested. I do think , however , that It would be a good plan to allen substantial national banks to cstablitn branches In the small towns , because then the depositors In these small Institutions could look to the parent bank for recompense In cayo that the local Institution failed. "Mr. Eckels' recommendations were cm- bodied In President Cleveland's message. I will give the administration credit In that ho has faithfully given expression to the sentiment of the majority of bankers on the national banking system. I , however , do not fully agree with bankers on this question and therefore I am not In favor of all the recom mendations. " Mr. Yates stated , however , that ho has not an jot had time to glvo the recommenda tions full consideration. A picnic Is not complete without some Cook's Imperial Extra Dry Champagne.
