CLEARING

New Novelties, New Designs.

CONTINUED.

Although our sales in February were greater than ever before in that month, owing to our great Clearing Sale then in progress, our stock was far too great to be so quickly reduced. The warm weather in the early part of the winter left on our hands great quantities of medium and heavy weight goods, which must be disposed of before the time comes for lighter weights. Therefore we extend our great Clearing Sale throughout the month of March. Great weie the opportunities of the Clothing and Furnishing Goods buyer in our store during February, but greater are those we have prepared for the month of March. Even you who are not in immediate need of goods in this line will find it decidedly to your advantage to fill your wardrobe now. That you may gain Bome little idea of the way we mean to reduce our stock in. March we will submit the following: Our entire stock of men's" Overcoats and Suits has been divided into five lots, namely: A §12 00 lot, a 810.00 lot, a $7.50 lot, a $5.00 lot and a $3.50 lot. Thus all the Overcoats and Suits selling upward from $15.00 are now $12.00, those selling from $11.00 to $14.00 are now $10.00, etc. Our entire stock of Boys1,Youth's and Children's clothing and men's extra trousers we subject to a 20 per cent, discount. In our hat and furnishing goods department our prices show even more than a 20 per cent, discount. Our reputation for high grade goods makes it unnecessary to describe quality offered at the above prices. Everything is new and up-to-date, and every purchase is guaranteed to give satisfaction. "We will gladly show all prospective buyers through our stock. Remember, this sale lasts all this month.

The Golden Rule

TADIE IS TOUGH.

A Former Terror Revives His Pugnacious Proclivities and Starts Trouble.

About ten years ago Tadie King wa9 a notorious tough, and his drunken brawls kept him in jail a good part of the time. Finally, however, he took the Keeley cure and braced up wonderfully. He was sober and industrious and continued so for several years. His former bad record was almost forgotten and was never referred to. It seemed that Tadie had become a good Indian and would no longer wander from the reservation for fire water or scalps. Of late, however, there has been a painful change. Tadie has again become a drinking man. which in his case means a fighting man. He has been drunk and disorderly a number of times of late, and last Monday in Drury's saloon he indulged in some fancy shines that are likely to cost him his freedom for some time to come. He was drunk and quarrelsome, and upon entering the saloon asked George Long to drink with him. Lang refused, and this incensed King, who became violent and abusive. Finally, drawing a knife, he attacked Long savagely and slashed at him with evident deadly intent. Fortunately his reach was short and the knife merely cut open Long's clothes over his breast.

Before Ring could follow up the attack he was caught by the bystanders and held. The police were called and he was carted oil to jail. On Tuesday an affidavit charging him with assault with intent to commit murder was filed in the mayor's court.

Mr. Long, who was assaulted by Ring, is not a drinking man and made no remarks to incite the ire of the young ruffian. Ring was sold no liquor at Drury's place, where he is not recognized as a customer because of his habits.

New Tracks.

The Yandalia will as soon as the weather permits begin the construction of the new track required for the accomodation of the new brick factory. This^will include about a mile of siding from the old gravel pit just this side of the Walnut Fork bridge, to the creek banks. The shale beds lie just across the stream from this point, and a cable system will be constructed to carry the shale across to the cars. Huge buckets such as were used on the machine which constructed the Green street sewer. The yard limits will be extended to where the side track leaves the main, thus giving the yard engine the right of way. A new man will be added to the Vandalia employees here and a yard engine installed far the purpose of handling tho output of shale, which is expected to amount to about four cars daily Besides this the engine will do all the switching which is quite heavy just now.

THE MASONIC TEMPLE.

The Splendid Plans of W. Sharpe Strike the Committee as the Best Submitted.

Tuesday tho building committee of tho Masonic Temple Association met with the architects who had prepared plans and every set was carefully considered. Sinco tho movoraent was begun plans have been submitted by J. I'1. Alexander, of Lafayette: Scott Moore, of Indianapolis: Wing Mahurin, of Ft. Wayne: Mr. Trailer, of Indianapolis: Mr. Bates, of Indianapolis: Herbert Foltz, of Indianapolis, and W. F. Sharpe, of this city. The live last named were here in competition Tuesday and it was the sense of the committee that the plans submitted by Mr. Sharpo were by all means the most pleasing in ever}' way. While a deal Lias not been closed with him it. is understood that one will be if certain conditions, which Mr. Sharpe can comply with, are granted and certain assurances given.

It is especially gratifying that the work falls to a|home man and that Mr. Sharpe's plans are the ones decided upon, for they are of tho most approved character. In his work he had t.he advice of one of the most learned Masons in the state and the details aro wonderfully elaborated and ^worked out from a Masonic standpoint. The French renaissance stylo of architecture is employed in tho plans and the ell'ects are something stunning. If completed on the plans drawn up by Mr. Sharpe the building will be one of''which the town may well be proud.

Pierce as a Householder.

ruptcy for tho district comprising the counties of Fountain, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Benton and White, made a ruling in a sitting in this city on Monday that disposes of an interesting question. William B. Pierce, a tenant farmer in Montgomery county, had tiled his petition in bankruptcy, and had claimed his exemption. Objection was made to the exomption on tho alleged ground that he was not a resident householder. It was referee Burnett's function to decide the status of Pierce's qualifications as a resident. The evidence taken on tho subject showed that Pierce is a widower, his wife having died six or seven years ago. Since the death of his wife, Pierce had been clothing and educating his n, now 9 years old, and had been supporting him at the home of tho lad's aunt. Pierce for the last six mouths prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy had been living alone on the farm occupied- by him, and had done his own cooking and had discharged other domestic duties. Referee Burnett hold that Pierce, with the dependency created by the care of his son, is a resident householder, and that he is entitled to the exemption provided by law. The decision of tho referee was accepted as final by tho attorneys on the other side.

Foul Play Suspected.

C. H. Carter, who has been traveling through tho south during the past three months establishing dealors in windmills and general hardware, is missing, and his wife and friends fear that he has met with foul play or succumbed to some fatal illness.

Mrs. Carter is a daughter of .1. C. Todd, of Wavoland, and has been spending the time of her husband's absence with her parents. Letters came regularly every few days and she was preparing to join her husbaud in Memphis, Tenn., about the middle of February. Becoming alarmed at his unusual silence, every possible investigation has been made, but as yet no tiding can be learned.

Mrs. Carter is prostrated with grief as she feels sure that some terrible disaster has befallen her husband.

He Was Rising.

That Sergt. Jesse E. Caplinger was rising rapidly in the army is attested by tho following letter, probably the last one he ever wrote, penned only live days before his death:

Tho family have the sympathy of the entire coimnuuity in this their groat sorrow, and we would say to tho loving kind sister who tended her so faithfully and Kindly during her illness, going whorever she was called, to lean on Him who gave yon the blessed little sister that you may join her in the great beyond.

Dearest Ella, thou hast left us. Here no more we'll see thy face May we all in heaven meet you

When we too, have run this race.
