tii.ip nor labor in bringing together as nobby a lot of garments as
- June ever been shown nnd at prices tliat are certain to add lustre
to. Ilicm in the EYES OF ECONOMIC BUYERS. We want to
-;tv loo Hint the extenwveness of the assortment s not by any
weans the result of accident but that of special design: There
are scarce two garments alike in the entire Cloak Stock so that
Hie possibility of seeing a half dozen Jackets or Capes like your

Our Cloak Styles are guaranteed to be no less exclusive than

The longer they know us they seem the better to like us. In
fact "THE BUSY STORE" is not a made phrase for advertising
purposes only but the oft repeated expressions of countless cus-
tomers; as is also that of the "BIG FRESH STOCK."
As fine feathers make fine birds we must confess to the absence
t of such gorgeous surroundings or roomy space as must make goods
look all the handsomer. Therefore we must request a closer and
more patient examination of our goods. And this is all right
since you could not wear the attractive store trappings much less
the roomy space. There's not a doubt of it our goods have been
selected with such care and taste as to deserve your closest inspec-
tive consideration. Don't mind using our time: "lis quite at
your disposal buy or no buy. "Moderate Prices" have not made
i3 more famous than the uniform courtesy to all colors rich
and poor. "e buyers and the investigators.

AVIII Neither Alllrm nr Deny.
Washington. Oct. 'M. Although the
government officials do not either affirm
or deny the report of its nccepjimco of
the new proposition of the reorganization
committee of the Cnion I'aeitic Railroad
there is no reasonable doubt of its ac-
curacy. This proposition is understood
to be an increase of the original guaran-
tee bid of JsritMKKMHIO. equaling the full
amount of the government's claim against
the I'nion I'aeitic Railroad proper which
on October 1. aggregated $..S.(M7.:i!S.
I he sale of this line will be proceeded
with as originally intended about No-
vember 1. As to the Kansas I'aeitic road
the committee withdraws its guarantee
and consents to a Mistponmeiit of the sale
to any date to suit the convenience of
the government. The action it Is under-
stood leaves the government in the simie
position with respect to the Kansas Pa-
cific as before the negotations were insti-
tuted and the government may. if it so
desiics. postpone the sale indefinitely. 'Hie
debt of the Kansas Pacific to the govern-
ment aggregates nearly $i:tlMI(MMK).
Whether the government will ask the
court to order a sale of the Kansas Pa-
cilic on December 15 can not be stated
but should it so decide it is understood
no objection will be raised by the reor-
giiiiizatioti committee.
The net result of committee arrange-
ments ko far as concerns the I'nion I'n-
cilie is regarded by the officials as highly
advantageous to the government as it
secures all that it has ever claimed to
be due it and renders It practically cer-
tain that a very large share of the debt
"f the Kansas Pacific will be realized
whenever it may desire to Consent to its
sale.

of bogus warrants on account of the
Creek Indiun nation payment which are
now out. Whether the Creek nation
which b said to have paid some of the
money on the warrants or outside par-
ties who are known to have cashed at
least a part of them on a premium as
brokers or others will be the ones to
stand the loss is not known.
Secretary ISliss stated today that
while there were about $00000 worth
of bogus warrants out of the payment
they had not been paid. The holders
of the warrants can not be learned he
said but the government will not lose
a cent. Further than this officials re-
..l'lise to talk.
Plans for the payment of the indebted-
ness were about consummated nnd the
shipment of the money about to be
made to the treasury when the . dis-
crepancy was discovered. The war-
rants were on the I'nited States sub-
treasury at St. Louis and arrangements
for the payment were immediately sus-
pended pending nn investigation.
Special Agent Sevcrly who practically
worked up the case is expected here
before the end of the week. He will
then confer with Secretary Bliss laying
liefore him all the facts gained in the
investigation which has been on during
the past week and submit his report.
The advices so far received have been
of a preliminary character. Pending
i.w arrival the definite facts as to many
nf the points in the case will not be
known.
