Good luck and odd sizes.

The worst sizes and the best
bargains go together in that
lot of women’s kid boots at
$188. Long feet, short feet,
narrow feet, get a fit easily and
the price like as not is half or
less than half the original.
Feet neither short, long or nar-
row don’t fare as well, but few
remain of such sizes, the price
is about two-thirds. .

If a fit cannot be found
among the $1.88 boots the
near-by sections contain some
of the best goods in the city,
at $2.50 and $3.

An Uprising in Paraguay Quickly
Quelled by the Government. "

 

 

ONE BATTLE SETTLED IT.

 

 

The Defeated Insurgents Driven Into
the Argentine Republic, Where They
Surrender-ed Their Weapons—The
“Outs" Against the “Ins."

BUENOS AYRES, Oct. 23.—-Advices re-
ceived here from Asuncion, capital of the
republic of Paraguay, tell of an attempt
there to overthrow the government of
President Juan G. Gonzalez. The attempt
was promptly suppressed by troops loyal
to the government. .

Full details are not yet at hand, but it is
known that there has been an uneasy feel-
ing in Paraguay and a spirit of hostility
to the government for some time, accom-
panied by rumors of plots against the
government. As usual in South Ameri-
can states, the trouble originated in and
was nurtured by political rivalries and
disappointed ambitions, the “outs” schem-
ing against the “ins.”

.Quolled by Prompt Action.

This rivalry grow until the government’s
opponents, several days ago, threw OR the
mask and, collecting the most desperate
of their adherents, made an appeal to the
people, armed themselves and sought to
wrest the reins of power from the consti-
tuted authorities, claiming that the latter
had in many ways abused the trust vested
in them.

The government immediately sent a
force of troops to put down the insurrec-
tion. An engagement took place between
the government troops and the revolution-
ists, which resulted in the defeat and flight
of the latter. The insurgents were badly
routed, and were compelled to flee from
the territory of Paraguay and seek refuge

'in the Argentine Republic.

The Argentine government was notified
of this, and sent orders to the frontier au-
thorities for the disarming of all Para-

guayans found with arms in their pose.

session on this side of the frontier. This
was done without any difficulty, the de-
feated revolutionists surrendering their
weapons when requested to do so by the
Argentine officers.

Paraguay’s Government.

The Paraguayan government against
which the attempted revolution was
aimed consists of President Juan G. Gon-
zalez, who was elected Sept. 25, 1890; Juan
C. Centurion, foreign secretary; Juan
Sosa, minister of finance; Dr. Carlos Gon-
dra, minister of justice, and General Du-
arte, ministerof war. The president and
vice president are elected for a term of
four years.

The senate and chamber of deputies are
elected directly by the people, the former
in a ratio of one representative for 12,000
inhabitants and the latter one for 6,000
The Paraguayan army, in-
fantry, cavalry and artillery has an effect-
ive force of only about 1,500 men and
about 100 officers. The navy consists of a

~ screw steamer of 440 tons and four guns

and two small river steamers.

The Judge Whacked the Colonel.

TYLER; Tex, Oct. 23.—The International
and Great Northern receivership matter
took a rather sensational turn last night.
Colonel W. S. Herndon, the railroad at-
torney, and Judge Felix McCord met in
front of the latter’s residence. Judge Me-
Cord told Colonel Herndon to let his
(Judge McCord’s) name alone, using vig-
orous epithets. A fightpwas the result.
Colonel Herndon picked up a brick and
Judge McCord secureda‘. stick. Colonel
Herndon threw the brick, which Judge
McCord dodged, and then McCord began
hitting Herndon on the head with the
stick. Before any serious damage resulted
friends interfered.

 

Train Robbers Captured.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 23.—D. Lud-
low, Pacific express agent in this city, re-
:eived a. dispatch from the agent at Lang-
try, reporting the capture of four of the
Southern Pacific robbers on Live Oak
:reek. The capture was made by Captain
Jones and a posse. None of the robbers
offered resistance except John Flint, who,
after a running fight for several miles,
committed suicide in preference to sur-
render. The names of two are James
Langston and Jack \Vellington. The rob-
bers had about $800 when captured.

To Make Tin Plate.

ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 23.——At a meeting
of the directors of the American tin plate
:ompanies held here contracts for erect-
ing the buildings and furnishing machin-
ery for the new factory at Elwood were

and contracts require the factory, which
will employ 1,000 men, to be ready to run
by March 1 next.

Two Men Killed.

WINNIPEG, Mon, Oct. 23.—Between
Brandon and Kenney stations on the Cana-
dian Pacific two trains were running close
together. The first stopped to switch a
car at a siding. The second freight crashed
into the rear caboose, which was filled
with passengers. James Bell, 3. Brandon
contractor, and J. J. J 011, a builder, were
instantly killed.

A Chicago Alderman Missing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23. -—— Alderman Adam
Meyer, of the Twenty-first ward, has been

nue since Monday evening. When last

pleasant. Foul play is suspected.

Manager Hill Breaks a Leg.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Oct. 23.—Theatrical

Bond Redemption Goes on at the
Average Rate of $60,000 a Day.

 

THE WORK NEAEING AN END

There Are Only Abod't Five llIilllons
Worth Still Outstanding—The Report.
of the Commissary General—Tho
Cost of the Postal Department.

\VASHINGTON, Oct. BEL—Although noth-
ing more is heard publicly of the 4% per
cent. bonds, they still continue to drift
into the treasury at the average rate of
about $60,000 a day. For the most part
they come from the larger cities and
through the banks there, the holders hav-
ing apparently deposited them for re-
demption. Here and there come a few
from the private holders direct, and gen-
erally from persons who it would be rea-
sonable to suppose would ordinarily be
wide awake about their money matters.

The letters received are themselves often

an object lesson in certain odd traits of

human nature. Thus, an owner of a regis-
tered bond or a number of them, whom
the department has been bombarding for
months with circulars about the approach-
ing maturity of the bonds and the prepa-
rations for redemption and extension, will
apparently be unaware that anything has
happened or is in process of happening
till he suddenly wakes up to the fact that
for some reason he has not received his
September interest.
Five Millions-Still Unredeemed.

His first act then is to write to the secre-
tary of the treasury and ask what is the
matter. He is astonished to learn that in-
terest has ceased on his bonds, and that
the only way to get the last installment is
to turn in the bonds themselves for re-
demption, when a check will be sent him.
for the principal and the balance of in-
terest due.

How a person of worldly means and fair
intelligence, as many of these writers ap-
pear to be, can have remained ignorant of
the recent operations of the treasury with
regard to the 4%8, when the newspapers
of the whole country have been overflow-
ing with facts and speculations about
them, is one, of the mysteries.

There are still some 5,000,000 of these '

bonds unredeemed. It is believed at the
treasury that the work of redemption will
go on at a pretty even pace, till by the 1st
of March next year there will not be more
than 2,000,000 outstanding, and those
about evenly divided between registered
and coupon bonds. .

_ General Duban‘y’s Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—General Dubarry,
commissary general of subsistence of
the army, has submitted his annual report
to the secretary of war. The report states
that the resources of the department for
the year were $3,535,967, and the expendi-
tures were $2,887,536, leaving a balance of
$648,541. The subsistence supplies issued
to Indians and transferred to the Indian
department during the past year aggre-
gared $49,445.

There were issued to destitute citizens
at various posts on the order! of com-
manding officers 4,735 rations, most of
which were issued during the Sioux cam-
paign. For liquid coffee $9,377 v'vas ex-
pended—an increase of $1,293, largely due
to the movement of troops made neces-
sary on account of the campaign ,with the
Sioux. The value of stores and property
reported lost by accident and wastage in
transportation was $8,207; loss on sales of
condemned supplies, $17,277.

What the Mail Service Costs.

WASHINGTON, Oct. f23.——The annual re-
port of the auditor of the treasury for the
postoflice department for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1891, shows that the postal
revenues were $65,931,785. The expendi-
tures to Sept. 30, 1891, were $71,662,463,
leaving an excess of expenditures over all
revenues of $5,730,677. Grants from the
general treasury in aid of postal revenue
were $2,200,000. The excess of expendio
tures over grants is $3,530,677.

Cadets Appointed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Cadets have been
appointed to the \Vest Point Military
academy as follows: William A. Burnside,
Newark, 0.; E. R. Heiberg, Lacrosse,

A. Yoder, Chestnut Kills.

Penetrating Into Alaska.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 23.-—A second let-
ter has been received here from Lieutenant
Glover, who, with a party, started out
last spring to find a. pack trail into the in~
terior of Alaska He has now returned to
Pyramid Harbor. He writes: “Our~ ex-
perience with pack horses is destined to
play an important part in Alaskan history.
It proves a possible transport where none
before existed except the Indian carrier—a
mode of conveyance upon which the solid
development of the country could not be
made. The United States and the Domin-
ion government can now follow our foot-
steps and survey the land they claim.
They can go in and fill in the blank chart
with the lakes and streams belonging
there.”

Physicians Stopped the Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.—The="fight ad-
vertised last night at the Occidental club
between Billy Maber, of Australia, and
Billy Mahan, of this city, did not take
place, physicians having declared that
Maber was in no condition to enter the
ring. Maber himself wanted the” fight to
proceed, but Mahan refused, and the Aus-
tralian left the building in an excited
frame of mind.

Troops for the Ute Reservation.

SYDNEY, 0010., Oct. 23.-—Five companies
of infantry and cavalry from Fort Russell
are making a forced march to the scene of
the Ute outbreak of two years ago, to pro-
tect the rights of settlers. This is taken
more as a precautionary measure than
anything else, as it is not believed the
Indians will again attempt to hunt out-
side of their reservation.

Blow Out the Gas and Died.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23. ——Two unknown
men, immigrants from Russia, were found
dead in bed, asphyxiated by the gas hav-
ing been blown out and loft turned on. It
is supposed to have been an accident, and
attributed to the ignorance of the men.

DRESS ; GOOD...

It would appear that any advertising of this department is almost a
superfluity with us nowadays. And yet in these times when advertising
has grown to such an art, and printers’ ink is so largely used to attract
business, it seems best for us to continue on the old lines, advising the
community in a moderate way of some of the attractions and advantages
which this large stock offers to consumers. We propose always to adhere
to the practice of UNDERSTATING rather than OVEBSTATING the facts as to the
extent and variety of this great stock, and of our constantly

 

' enlarging facilities for the proper service of the public in the lines of

business to which we devote special attention—first and foremost among
which is Dress Goods.

Medium Grade Dress Goods.

We have spoken often of late of the finer class of Dress Goods with
which our stock overflows. Quite as many original and stylish efl'ects
shown in the medium grade dress seufi's. Take, for instance, one price—-
50 cents per yard—and there will be found enough varieties at this one

' price alone to stock an average dress goods department.

All the new Rough Fabrics in Cloth Effects, Gay Plaids, Fine Checks,
Cashmeres, Serges and Foules are to be found among these popular price
fabrics. In numerous instances the prices have been reduced for various"
reasons not affecting the character or value of the goods.

54-inch HABIT CLOTH, the best all wool plain cloth to be found for

the money, 19c.

HOMESPUN SUITING, as attractive in style and coloring- as many
goods selling for twice the price, 49¢, per yard.

40-inch PLAID AND STRIPE SUITIN G, in a number of beautiful
efi‘ects, at 19¢, per yard.

STORM SERGES, 40 inches wide, strictly all—wool .and all the best
colors, at é9c. per yard.

ly cheap at é7c. per yard.
