Owning our own Store, and having no heavy store rent to pay, unlike competitors tvho are obliged to pay thousands of dollars store rent every year, enables us to sell cheaper than they cun. Buying all goods strictly for cash from first hands saves you another profit. All goods are sold under a positive guarantee that the price paid for them is the Lowest." Our previous well-known repu tation for the past 35 years is a guarantee of the treatment and tho high grade of goods we offer. Don't bo dazzled by a large store with a limited trade and heavy expenses, asit is impossible for them to sell good goods cheap. HEAR TRADE IN MIND WJTIf US.

AND Tho Lycoum of tbe Y. M. 0. A. The Lyceum of tho Y.

M. C. A. held its second meeting last evening. The start was excellent, twenty members being present.

Tho meeting ut once proceeded to business. The constitution, which was a very able one, was adopted after several amendments to different articles. The election of oillcers was next in order, resulting in the following: A. C. Kosor, President; N.

W. Crawford, Vice President; Waldo Snyder, Secretary and Treasurer; Professor Snyder, Critic; L. II. Durrell, Editor; M. Beals, Sergoant-at arms.

After election of oflicors, Prof. Snyder, who had been temporary chairman resigned tho chair in favor of Mr. Ko ser, and the pther oflicors took their places. All jnecessary arrangements for accommodation of oillcers such as providing tables, tablets, el Robert's llnles of Order were adopted as the guide of the Lycenui. After business was transacted the meeting was thrown onon for remarks, suggestions, o' There wore quite a number, entertaining and instructive.

From tho remarks we find that some of the members are old hands at debating and tho rovornniont of societies. I'j was decided that the future meetings be held in the Y. M. C. A.

hall instead of in tho parlors as was done last evening. It was decided that tho executive committee remain aft.n- adjournment and provide a permanent programme for tho business of the meetings. This was amended and a great deal of fun derived in discussing how to dispose of tho amendment and the motion. The program, the result of the committee's mooting, will appear in tho future. Tho constitution will also bo published soon.

After deciding that this report be published tho meeting adjourned. Notice You are respectfully solicited to inspect the largest stock of DRY GOODS this house has over shown.
