And a large number of other bargains in the same line. All summer millinery to be cleared out, we desire to move no old stock. Headquarters for all kinds of bargains.

J. WARD WALKER & Co.

SCOTT-& CO.

The leading Dry Goods tirm are still in the lead. When they cut prices others may follow but all efforts to beat them in low prices have utterly failed and will continue to do do so. No matter what prices others may quote in order to down us in our special sales, they will be promptly met by lower quotations. Our customers shall always be protected. This is why our pr ces on challie day dropped down to cents. The few who rushed to other stores and bought from 3 to 6 cents a yard thinking they were getting a bargain felt mortified when they learned that we sold thousaads of yards for 2% cents and hundreds of yards from 12 o'clock to 1 o'clock for l'X cents. It is not our wish to harm the business of any honorable firm.

W* wish everybody success but we are HERE TO STAY and cau not be intimidated hired nor scared from our post.

Special Hat Sale.

We are always surprising our customers. Now on July Fourth we will offer 275 straw hats for men, boys and children, of every grade, style and description, at actual cost. The prices will range from 3 cents and upward. Everybody is entitled to the benefits of this cut price sale. Tell your neighbors and come in and pick out your hate.

Ladies' Special Sale.

We never intend to slight the ladies, so "we offer anything in our line of millinery goods at a big sacrifice on July Fourth. This means that you can buy a $1.25 hat for 50 cents to 70 cents. A $2.00 hat for $1.00 to 1.50 and so on. Don't forget the day and don't miss the bargains.

The rye, barley and wheat crops are being harvested, and the crop is considered the best allround crop for many years, notwithstanding the report that the midge fly etc., had injured it greatly. Nine cases out of ten crop reports of an adverse character are greatly exaggerated, even newspaper writers who are supposed to confine themselves to facts and leave impressions severely alone, are unconsciously affected by the long faces and gloomy forebodings of the parties they talk to. Six weeks ago for instance, it was currently reported that toe Kansas wheat crop was totally ruined by the fly. Later on it was developed that the situation was not so ba«) as stated, and still later it is officially announced that the rain has killed the fly, and Kansas Is enjoying a bountiful aod golden harvest after all
