AN IMPOSING SCENE.

The Annual Trade Palace Openin? Attended With Great SuccessA grand and magnificent sceno greeted tho vision of the thousands who visited the grand opening at the Trade Palace last riday and Saturday nights* The mammoth room was fair'v ablaze with brilliant lights, shedding rich rays on the handsomo drapings and gorgeous displays in tho numerous departments. Music Hall orchestra discoursed delightful music while the vast throngs wended their ways as best they could throngn tho large avenues. It was a happy time for Messrs. McClure & Graham, these enterprising gentlemeu who have placed in our midst a grand establishment that is the pride of every resident of the county. The attendance was most gratifying and the result all that could he desired. To describe this mammoth store one must begin at the beginning. On entering tho storoonc was met with a dazzling brilliancy almost otherial. On either side were huge columns of silk and satin draperies, the background of which was formed by a bower of ribbons, tho blending of which colors was magniliceqt. To the right you tiud the dress goods department with its innumerable shelves rilled with handsomo designs in China and Wash silks, fancy trimming silks-- and black dress silks. Next comes fancy dress goods with an almost endless variety in novel shades and patterns Jin ehallies, lawn?, crepes, mulles, dotted swisses, Tijii cloths, satteens and satin glorias. This leads us to the ladies heavy cloth department which is replete with material for those beautiful spring wraps and cloaks that are at present so much admired. Coining down on the other side of the aisle we first lind the fancy dress trimming department in braids, jewels, etc. Then the embroideries and lacf»s followi'd by the hosiery and ladies' underwear and ribbon departments, to which space forbids us doing jiutice.

We now cross over to the south side and lind ourselves in what might properly be termed "Absolute necessity depart ments.'' Here are the latest creations in ginghams, shirtings, outings and cheviots, followed by llannels, yarns, blankets and skirtings among the woolens. At the end of the row is the gents' tailoring department. This is among tho leading features of the store and is crowded with a handsome lino of spring and summer suitings, pantaloonings and overcoatings. Every garment is made on a guarantee.

On tho opposite side in tho oval counter wo lind a beautiful ditplay of handkerchiefs, corsets, linens, towels, crashes, table cloths, napkins, tray cloths and numerous other beautiful and useful articles.

On the lirst floor in the rear is the mammoth carpet room which is large and well lighted. Here aro velvets, Brussels, ingrains, rugs, mattings, linoleums, and oil cloths in endless variety. bovo this on the second tloor are the curtains, draperies and lace goods, one of the most beautiful and complete lines to be found anywhere in tho United States. Never before in this part of the country were exhibited such rare and handsome designs and ideas in real lace curtains, Irish point lace, bed sets,- antique luce sets, chenillo portiors. stand covers, drapery goods and window shades in all colors. On the same tloor are found the cloaks, jackets, capes and I mantels in all Bhades.

The most beautiful and enticing spot is decidedly the milli"ery department, the largest in the city. This depart-j nient is presided over by Miss King, of Cincinnati, the highest salaried lady in this part of tho state. She is ably assisted by Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Leo and Misses Snyder, Hamilton and Dooley and are well equipped to turn out work promptly.

Just at this time it would not do for us to overlook tho new wool ware room just added with an enormous capacity. Messrs. McClure it Graham are the pioneer wool buyers of the county, and every year pyy out to the farmers from' $30,000 to 350,000. They will buy this year on a bigger scale than ever.

One beauty about the Trade Palace is that all goods are marked in plain fig-! ures, the room is splendidly lighted, so that a child can buy as easily ar.d econoraically as the shrewdest of buyers.

It would lie unwise to close this articlo without giving a brief history of tho business career of the gentlemen who! compose this lirm Everybody in Mont-

goin«ry county knows David P. McCluro. Ho has solved the problem of business life successfully and his example should servo others well. Ho was born in Bath county, Kentucky, and in early lifo served in the warof the United States with Mexico. He removed to Montgomery county in 1S50 and did his first work on tho farm of Edward Nutt at ?S per month. During that service lie spent four months in the neighborhood school which was the only education he had. He afterwards worked for James Hall and subsequently came to Crawfordsville and first clerked in the store of Harvey Benetiel, afterwards for Zack Mahorney and finally went into tho employ of Frank H. Fry. There after two years Mr. McCIuro wasinstalled as equal partner and so remained until Mr. Fry's death in 1SC0. The lirm was reconstructed by the substitution of William S. Fry, son of the deceased partner, which continued until the younger Fry's death in 1872. Mr. McClure then set up for himself and has continued almost constantly since.

In all his life, through every panic, Mr. McCluro has paid one hundred cents on every dollar-

Mr. Graham lias a very extensive acquaintance over the county having been connected with tho Mat Kline jewelry store for many years. In the dry goods business ho has found afield that fits his ambition. He is energetic, full of vim, which together with his partnor's business experience forms a very thrifty and solid combination.

A Breach of Promise Suit,

An interesting breach of promise suit, which both parties are deaf mutes, was tiled in the circuit court of White county this week. The plaintilfis Miss Nettie Coombs, daughter of EliCoombs, of east Wabash avenue, this city, and the defendant is William C. Home", of Monon. In her complaiut the plaintiff alleges that William is a gay widower and wealthy merchant. About a year ago Will come down here to visit sou.e of his mute friends. He met Nettie Coombs and both fell desperately in love. He then paid regular semimonthly visits to Crawfordsville. Letters, couchod in the most endearing terms, were so nume.Mus that it kept tho mail agents between the two towns hustlhig. In short time, will, by skillfully manipulating his lingers, asked Nettie to be his bride. It didn't take her long to spell yes ami in a moment both were in each others arms. Tho day was set for October 12th. Miss Coombs prepared everything for the wedding, and everything ran smoothly until two days lreforo the happy event was to take place, when the cruel William wrote her that he had "changed his mind." Entreaties and demands have alike failed to bring Horner to time, and now Miss Coombs prays the court to grant her 85,000 damages, and sho ought fo get every cent of it.

Two "Jars" and a Bloody MouthSunday afternoon two young men who had taken on a jag'1 each, that is whiskey and been in too large quantities, became somewhat boisterous near the Monon depot and the Marshal with Officer Grimes siarted after them. The young men immediately shot out iu the direction of the poor farm and in their flight had occasion to run across the property of L. J. Coppage. who being at homo immediately demanded tho reason of their presence there. They at once informed him that they were Hying from the "cops," and were as promptly informed by Coppage that he would report theui. Thereupon both of them went at. him, knocked him down, mashed his mouth, and continued on their retreat. This little incident, however, did not deter Coppage, and he immediately started after llem bare-headed, coat tail (lying high and yelling at some people passing along the road near the poor asylum to head these men off, as they had half killed him. One or the men whose "jag" was too heavy stopped in tiie road and was capture !, while the other out winded the crowd and escaped. He returned, however, to town soon after, and both men were lined in the polico cruirt on Monday.

LaPearl's Opening.

On Monday April 21th, LaPearl's Big 10 and 20c. Siiows will open tho season in this city. Monday afternoon will be a dress ro hoarsal of t.he entire company and Monday evening the doors will bo thrown open to tho public, remaining over Tuesday when two performances will be given, afternoon and evening. Crawfordsville and surrounding country will no doubt turn out en inasse, not only to see a show which has made ail enviable reputation as tho cleanest, brighest, best conducted and biggest show for the money ever exhibited here, but also to show their appreciation of Mr. LaPearl's selection of Crawfordsville as the winter quarters of the show and place of residence for himself and family. This is the third season of tho show its growth, both in point of excellence as an amusement enterprise and for reputation as being the most honestly advertised and greatest cheap price 6how in existenco, is phenriminal. Mr. LaPearl voluntarily selected Crawfordsville as his wintering place. He has expressed hiiNse'f as pleased with tho town and speaks in glowing termsof the treatment received at tho hands of its people since locating here. We trust the citizens will realize that the LaPearl show is an institution of no small dimensions, growiug as rapidly as ever any of the now monster R. R. Shows did in their early historj-, and to encourage and assist the manager of this enterprise means the building up and permanently locating of what will be the city's pride, the home of a monster circus. There is already in daily practice at tho winter quarters a small army of performers with new arrivals every day. On the morning of the 2-Jih the large new tents will be spread on Main st., two blocks west of Court House. The show which gave such marked satisfaction last season, is increased to more than double its size, higher salaried people engaged in al. departments. Prof. Vandorcook Band the big feature last season, bigger and better than ever, will daily parade the principal streets. Let everybody turn out to the three performances on thy opening days and by packing the big tent to its I most capacity prove to Manager LaPearl that his labors in this city are not lost, and that the remarkable growth of tho showwithout any increase in price of admission is fully appreciated by the public.

Both Had Eczema

In Its Worst Form

After Physicians Failed, Hood's SarKaparilla Perfectly Cured. Great mental agony is endured by parents who see their children suffering from diseases caused by impure blood, and for which there seems no cure. This is turned to joy when Mood's Sarsaparilla is resorted to, for it expels the foul humors from the blood, and restores the diseased skin to fresh, healthy brightness. Read the following from grateful parents

To C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: "Wo think Ilood's Rorsanarilla is tho

most

valuable medicine on t!e market for blood and akin diseases. Our two children suffered tciTK bly with the

Worst Form of Eczema

for

two years. Wo had three physicians in that time, hut neither of them succeeded in curing them or evea In giving them a littlo relief. At la.il. uo tried Hood's Swsaparilla and In a month both children were perfectly cared. V.'e recommend

as a standard family medicine, and would bo without it." MU. find Mils. M. M. Solleb,not 14115 2nd Avenue. Altoona, i'a.
