KLONDIKE, here, there, and almost everywhere: In
the columns of all the papers, magazines and periodicals:
KLONDIKE, the great gold field of Alaska:—That is the
place that is attracting the great crowds of humanity at
present. For what purpose? To dig the Yellow Metal. And
in digging gold it requires experience to make a success, like
all (ither businesses.
B'alk is cheap—but ir takes experience to build up a suc-
cessltl business. Experience conies to those who »rnw old
in thelservice, ' Tin now past 26 years since we first began
mercnjuidising.
In presenting our Fall and Winter Stock of Dry Goods,
Shoes, etd., we show the results of our varied experience.
We have spared no time to make our line complete in €»0ry
Particular. We know we merit your business and we expect
to receive your business with due regularity. We shall > • ni-
estly strive to thoroughly please you at all times. Our prac-
tically limitless facilities are at your command.
Our goods were all bought, before the passage of the
Dingley Tariff Bill, which gives us and you a great advantage.
Our Mr. A. E. Graham having anticipated the passage of the
Diugley bill in .July, he, aeeompanicd by his eight buyers,
were in market in June, ready to take ad vantage of every
fluctuation in prices—our NINE BUYERS doing as much
shopping in ONE day as our competitors'buyer can do in
nine days.
The tariff bill was passed July 24, and not one of our
competitors was in, the market until the bill had become a
law. Think of the advance our competitors had to pay on
all Woolen and Imported Goods!
ZT/tanAr your tuc/ey stars that you trade wit A a house wit/t suffi-
cient /jush and energy not to be catty At in such an cmbarrassiny
position.
While KLONDIKE is the greatest gold field of Alaska,
our store is the greatest Dry Goods "Einpor'uin" of North
Texas.
Come in and see us. Make our store your headquarters.

Thomas C. Las well, aged 21, of
| Princeton, Ind., and an unknown
! man supposed to be from Pnila-
delphia, were drowned in the
surf at Atlantic City, N. J., Sun-
day. The young men went into the
I surf shortly before noon and Las-
El well, who seemed to be unaware
of the dangerous undertow, was
soon beyond his depth and call-
i"g for help. The life guards
made a brave but unsuccessful
effort to save him. The second
drowning occurred at about three
| o'clock Sunday afternoon.

Amsterdam, N. Y., Aug. 16.—
c?XX To day a cyclone passed from
west to east about a mile from
the village of Ilagamau, a suburb
of this city, wrecking several

The cyclone was of short dura-
tion. The damage to property
and crops will amount to thou-
sands of dollars.
New York, Aug. 16.—Reports

damage by lightning during to-

loss was at Copenhagen, Lewis

three farm houses and many barns
and outbuildings being complete-
ly demolished. Many people
sought refuge in their cellars.
