We're not having a sale because our shoes are out of style. Some of the startling reductions include shoes that are not recent shipments, but most of the stock offered is strictly up to date. That's one place our sale differs from others.

Service

Our guarantee speaks more for the service of our shoes than anything else can. If we weren't selling the best shoes in this section of the country we couldn't give such liberal insurance policies with our footwear. That's another difference.

Regular Lots We put everything on sale. Here are the reductions we make on regular lots of standard goods: $6 Shoes for $4.95 $5 Shoes for $3.95 $4 Shoes for $3.25 and $3.45 $3.50 Shoes for $3.10

Odd Lots Other shoe reductions on odd lots are about the same as our reductions on regular lots. See what we offer in odd lots. Womens' $4 Tans ..$1.98 $5 Colored Suede Shoes $2.50 Mens' $5 Tans $2.50 Women's $4 and $5 Shoes $2.50

The new shipment of Ball Band Rubber Boots is in; the first 72 pairs we offered were not enough to satisfy the wants, so we're putting on 48 pairs more. They may not last, either, but they are the last at the exceptional price of $3.45.

Extra Special About 60 pairs of Nettleton $5 Shoes at the South Side Store which will go for the rest of the sale at the unheard of price of $1.98. These are in both large and small sizes.

Stomach Hisery for Over Six Years Think of it! After six years of sour stomach, of gas eructations, of nervousness, during which time every meal lay on his stomach like a lump of lead, a man was restored to perfect health by Ml-o-na stomach tablets. Read what Mr. Hoffman, landlord of the Webster Hotel, writes. "I suffered misery and intense pains from stomach trouble for over sis years, and all the doctoring that I did or medicines I used were of no avail until about two years ago, when I used a treatment of Mi-o-na. The first few days' treatment helped me greatly and upon using it a while I was made entirely free from any stomach trouble or complaint whatever. Since the cure by Mi-o-na I have regained my weight, I eat and sleep well, am never nervous, and my entire general health is much better." Max H. Hoffman, Webster, N. Y., Aug. '', 1W9. Mi-o-na relieves stomach distress in five minutes. It acts like magic. It is guaranteed to cure sour stomach, gas, eructations, heartburn, dizziness, biliousness and nervousness, or money back. For sale by druggists everywhere and by L. H. Fihe, for 50 cents a large box.

sively, it is predicted, that the present high prices of meat products are, therefore, the result of manipulation by combinations in control of the meat supply.

LOUIS F. SWIFT GIVES A REASON FOR HIGH PRICES (Continued From Page One.)

been grass fed, that one has been grain fed. Much Misunderstanding. "There Is a lot of misunderstanding Kbout meat prices. If people knew more of selection and were better informed on the anatomy of the animals 1h'ey consume there would be less trouble. The preparation of the less expensive cuts of meats for family consumption is a matter that ought to receive more general attention. There is too much frying and broiling and not enough ingenuity displayed in the n so of meats. "I think the fireless cooker will ultimately solve many of the difficulties that now confront the housekeeper." "What is the reason that Chicago beef is sold in London on the whole cheaper than in Chicago?" was asked. "Well," said Mr. Swift, "there are many reasons for such a condition, though it is a mistake to assume that there is much difference in favor of the British market. Still, it must be remembered that the English and Scotch are nations of marketers. "Here a telephone message to the fcutcher calls for a certain joint or cut of meat. That often ends the responsibility of the person who pays the money for the meat, but not so in England. "There the housewife or one of her aides goes to the market with a basket, surveys the wares exposed for pale cr by close inquiry finds out just what cuts or sorts of meat are selling."

the causes of the increase in the prices of the necessities of life. Tremendous Profits Made. He gave some startling information

in regard to the tremendous profits dealers were making out of the people

of W ashington.

The secretary showed that while in

.ew York, Philadelphia and other eit

ies, they were satisfied with 20 per

cent, the retailers of the national cani

tal were gouging the people between 40

and oO per cent. The secretary's agents are in business all over the country, collecting information, and from the data alreadv

at hand he says he is satisfied that the farmer is not getting exorbitant profits

out of the beef prices. The figures collected thus far show

that on January 1, lfHH). the price of beef was 22. per cent higher than the average level of prices in the five

years from 1S90 to 1000 inclusive The price that the farmer got for his cows

before they were fattened was oulv

trifle higher than the average price he had received in th 1S96-1900 inclusive

period. The price that he got for his cattle fattened on corn was not equal to the rise in the price of corn. Farmer Is Not the Gouger.

From this the secretary decided that the farmer was not getting all that was

coming to him.

The increase in the number of farm

! animals used for food has been greater than ever before, and greater, too, in

i proportion to the increase in noDula

tion.

The figures will confirm information

coming from various sections of the

country that there is unprecedented

prosperity in the animal industry of

Spokane, Wash., Jan. 25. Frst of its kind in the history of leal jurisprudence in the United States was the action instituted by the state of Washington on the relation of E. G. Merchant of Spokane against the county of Spokane to recover $5,000 damages for a cold contracted while serving as a juror in the superior court in December, 1907. Judge J. Stanley Webster dismissed the jury, which heard the evidence and arguments, and decided for the defense. An appeal to the supreme court may follow. There was no precedence to guide the arguments, for the reason that neither the attorneys for the complainant nor counsel for the defense were able to find any record of a previous case where a juror had sued the county of any state, though an exhaustive search was made of the reports of practically every state. Judge Webster decided that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover damages for these reasons: The sta

tute of limitation had barred the action in court; that there was no evidence the cold was contracted in the court room and was the cause of the ensuing sickness, and that the complainant was not able to show there had ben any negligence on the part of any one in the county's service. Merchant filed a claim for $1,000 damages with the county commissioners in March, 1908, following his services in a jury case. The board rejected the claim. Suit was instituted in the Spokane county superior court the following fall, but Judge H. L. Kennan sustained a demurrer on the ground that the case was not filed within 90 days after the original claim was substituted to the county commissioners. The plaintiff again presented his claim to the commissioners, fixing the amount of damages at $5,000, but the court held it was virtually the same claim.

It is the opinion of the local police that R. S. Prentiss, alias Harry Armstrong, alias Ed G Lawrence, and H. G. Mason, the two men who are wanted in Dayton, O., for a gigantic swindling scheme in which they are alleged to have swindled a Philadelphia merchant out of $15,000 on a bogus mining deal recently, are the same ones who operated in this city several weeks ago. The Pinkerton detectives have been employed and are said to be working in this locality principally, believing that the men are in hiding in or near Richmond. A reward of ?300 is offered for their capture. Fared Poorly Here. The description of the swindlers closely resembles that of two men who attempted to sell shares in mining stock among the merchants in Richmond only a few weeks ago. However, the proposition did not look good to the local persons and they refused to be separated from any coin. The men stated at the time that they were going to Dayton and hoped to interest several capitalists in that city in the mine. According to the circular received at police headquarters this morning it appears that they were successful in interesting one merchant to the extent of $15,000. The money was in the form of $100 and $50 notes on the Winters National bank at Dayton. The serial number of the $100 certificates was while the $50 certificates were numbered from 30 to ot50. The bank officials in this city have been notified to watch closely for certificates of these denominations. Prentiss is described as being a man of about 60 years of age and weighing

about 135 pounds. He has steel blue eyes, thin hair and a small gray moustache. Mason is 55 years of age, six feet in height and weighs over 1X) pounds. He is smooth faced.

GIVES SECOND WARNING

AND HE MEANS JUST WHAT HE SAYS FIRST ORDER OF CHIEF WAS NOT HEARD BY MANY OF THE OPERATORS.

BIBLE CLASS MEETS

The slot machines must go in Richmond. According to Superintendent

! of Police Gormon .the practice of conducting penny and nickel slot ma- ' chines where no return is given for the j money deposited, is the most pronoune1 ed form of gambling and will not be ; tolerated for an instant. Chief Gormon issued an order to this effect some i time ago, but apparently, little attenj tion has been paid to the matter by j the local proprietors, where such maI chines are in operation, and the chief states that it is now almost time to take action. He declares that there is no kick where value received is givj en for one's money, but its the kind ! of machine where you drop your penny : or nickel and get nothing whatever,

but the pleasure of seeing the numbers spin around, that he is complaining about. The practice is an open violation of the law it is said. Chief Gormon staled that this was to be his last warning. He will instruct the officers to keep a sharp lookout to see that the order is obeyed and that in the event anyone is caught conducting these "valueless slot machines," they will be vigorously prosecuted.

MTUIRIRAY HILLCANDIDATE FOR Stieriff of Wayne County Subject to the Republican Nomination

The Olive Branch Bible Class of the First English Lutheran church, held its regular monthly meeting last evening, at the home of W. H. Romey, 321 South Twelfth street. About 50 persons were in attendance at the meeting. After the business was dispensed with the evening was spent in a social manner and in viewing stereoptic pictures of India and England. Myron Kluter rendered a delightful flute solo and Misses Muriel Bartel and Elenora Wickemeyer sang a very pleasing duet. The next meeting of the class will be held in the assembly room of the Morrisson-Reeves library at which time the annual election of officers will be held. Stereopticon views will be shown which will probably be explained by a lecture. The nominating committee for the officers was appointed last evening.

Columbus, Ind., Jan. 25. Everything is in readiness for the biennial meeting of the Lincoln League of Indiana to be held here.

Chicago. 111., Jan. 25. Miss Dorothy Hesler, aged IS years, daughter of Dr. F. A. Hesler, who died when on duty s a surgeon in the United States Army in the Philippines, admitted at

; her home in Evanston, that she was j the girl innocently responsible for the ! fight in the Boston Navy Yard Decem

ber 11. for which two officers will be tried by court-martial on the last day of this month. She paid glowing tribute to the gallantry of Paymaster George Percival Auld and Passed Assistant Surgeon A. S. Robnett, who went to her defense and whipped Dr. E. S. Cowles.

"I was the cause of the quarrel, or fight, if you choose to call it such," ;said Miss Hesler today. ; "To start at the beginning. I went to visit my uncle la Boston last No- ; vember. I was introduced to a J number of the people in the navy set
