We are pleased to learn of a movement to give a complimentary benefit to Dan Dean, the attentive manager of the stage at the 0{era Ucuse. He has always been reaiiy to assist all home entertainments, doing far more than his duties called for, and it is but proper that his services be recognized in this way, and that, too, in a substantial manner.

His many friends over here will be glad to learn that Joe T. Magner re oeived the Republican nomination, at Indianapolis, for City Clerk. He had strong opposition, and six ballots were neoessary for a choice. The News says when the nomination was declared "Mr. Magner made a short speech, with a quantity of magnetism (no pun intend ed, but the actual truth) that put the entire convention in great good humor and in full aooocd with him.

In no branch of trade has there been such growth In a short time as in the furniture business of Foster A Son on Fourth street, just north of Cherry. From a small beginning, tbeir business has increased until now they carry an immense stock of parlor and bedroom ssites, sideboards, batraoks, bookcases, bed lounges, chairs of every description, including rooking and folding chairs, wool and hair mattresses, etc. They have built up this large trade by a commendable spirit of accommodation, oourtesy and honest dealing.

The show season is drawing to a close and our people will not call at the Cen tral Bookstore so often for their tickets, but they will continue to go there nevertheless for tbeir elegant stationery, their interesting books, the latest and beat publications, their school books, their blank books of every description, their out paper patterns for ladies' and children's clothes, because Button A Go's Central Bookstore is the recognised headquarters for these articles.

The ladles this week bsve been attracted to the several openings of spring millinery, and among the many styles have been distressed to decide where to buy, but the gentlemen will have no each trouble. They know that S. Loeb has just returned from the east, where he selected all the latest and nobbiest styles in hats and caps, and they go direct to the oorner of Main and Fifth streets, welt knowing that they will get not only the newest stylss but the lowest prices.

I calkilate Ibaint made less'n sev-

entv-five dollsrs this winter a tradin' with him—not a cent less'n seventy fi dollsrs! An' I might a been a doln' It right straight along fur years bsck. It does gravel me to think I didn't find the place out when I was young an' purtier than I am now—though I ain't no slouch as I know uv. Besides his low prioes, Rippetoe alius baa every thing I that's in market, an' Is alius in advanoe.
