Tomorrow -End- the Allison Stock The quickest buyers were Mr. Allison's friends. He dropped in several TOII1 S06 OllGStlTIXt StXGCt times during the day, and gave his old customers such attention as they required. Simple good feeling no business in it for him. We bought the storeful of goods outright and they'll all be sold by tomorrow night if that tropical storm veers away.

That is a strong, plain statement. And, like most strong, plain statements, it is true. If this store did not save you money, it would fail in one of its chief claims for attention.

There are as pretty things as our in other stores; there are as heavy stocks in other stores. But there are no prices like ours on goods of equal quality, anywhere. This is "The Store of Real Economies," a prouder title no store ever bore. Real economies, mind you; neither the hollow bargains of mere newspaper talk, nor the fictitious cheapness of trash. Test.

this by any of the items below, or by anything in the store on any day of the year. All Curtains Purchased Here Will Be Hung Without Charge, Within City Limits Men Winter Underwear, Made by Durham Hosiery Co. The trade term is camel's-hair merino, because this house uses the softest and most luxurious camel's-hair in mixture with wool or silk at its factory. But these garments are just luxurious, heavy merinos in tan or blue or gray. All sizes up to 50 inch shirts, and drawers that correspond.

These varments have no seams thev are fashioned like the best hosierv. Regular Price, $2.50 Garment Sale $2.25 a Suit Or we'll sell single garments at Si. 15. but we'd rather not the lot wouldn't come out even, and such values can't be duplicated. That's sure.

Plenty of most everything today not all. Plenty of Star Shirts fancy with stiff bosom 55c for $1 kind and 75c for $1.50 kind. To quickly end the neckwear more of it is marked to 25c yet nobody could see the use of reducing it. To get three, four or five times your money's worth should be enough. Plenty of the collars and cuffs collars started at 6 for 30c 40c cuffs are 25c the finest collars are just half price.

Isn't that all you care to know about it? The 6-for-30c collars include as well odd and soiled lots from our own stock. 1 A 4 Half Prices on We have more than twenty vwj cri ,1 thousand shades that we will WindOW Shades sell for half the prices thev are fairly worth. We bought out a factory, that's why. All are of the "oil opaque" sort, that is, the light, firm, swift-rolling goods in colors, and in the natural linen tint. All are mounted on spring rollers, and are sold complete, with fixtures, ready to put up.

Some of these are plain, some are heavily ornamented with cording, some have the deep lace ends.

The German and French answers, however, clearly indicate the alignment of the powers.

It is generally accepted that Germany's attitude in favor of remaining at Pekin will be concurred in by Italy and Austria, as these two countries act with Germany on political questions of a general nature. As to the purposes of Great Britain, there is an absolute lack of official information, though httle doubt is entertained that since Germany has taki.i the initiative, Great Britain will follow suit in favor of remaining at Pekin. The position of Japan likewise is lacking in definiteness, although it is believed in the best posted quarters that if other nations remain at Pekin Japan will deem it expedient to remain there also. It would seem from this that France is the only government to give concurrence to the Russian proposition. German Troops Land at Shanghai SHANGHAI, Sept.

As a result of the supression of the disorders which occurred at Amojv and the probability of the Viceroy of the province being able to prevent a recurrence, the Japanese and British governments have taken steps to withdraw their marines from that point.

Acting Secretary Hill made this statement to-day: "A telegram from Consul General Goodnow announces the simultaneous withdrawal of all marines from Amoy on Friday." The authorities are very much gratified over the return of peace at Amoy, not only because it brought about the withdrawal of marines but because it demonstrated the purpose of the southern viceroys to stand by their promises and maintain order in Southern China.

They declare that his usefulness has been impaired, and they favor a commission. Already, it is understood, Acting Secre-try Hill, of the State Department, has been asked to head the proposed commission. The other members decided upon, according to the report, are ex-Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, and John W. Foster, ex-Secretary of State. The commission, in the event of the threatened trouble between Russia and the other powers in regard to continued occupation of Pekin, will be instructed, according to a State Department official, to demand that United States trocjw, which may be withdrawn to Tien Tsin, are to remain on Chinese soil by stipulation and not as invaders.

It will also be demanded that sruarantees be given against the recurrence of the outrages, and that assurances be given of order and protection for foreigners throughout the provinces of the empire. Reparation by indemnity will be arranged for the injuries to foreigners and their property. c. W. c.

WASHINGTON, Sept. G. President McKinley is seriously considering the appointment of a commission to go to China and act for the United States in ascertaining the extent of the responsibility of the Chinese Government for the attempts to destroy the foreign legations in Pekin and for the killing of foreigners and the destruction of property. The proposed commission will also act in fixing indemnity and in bringing about a restoration of .1 stable government. The need of a commission is said to have been brought to the front by the intended recall cf W.

W. Rockhill, the special envoy sent by the President, who is alleged to have so far forgotten his position as to have declared that the blame for the entire siege of the legations rests upon the Empress Dowager. It was discussed fully at the last Cabinet meeting, according to an official, and it was the opinion of the authorities that no report which Mr. Rockhill might write fixing the responsibility for the outrages could carry the slightest weight, since he ibbean Sea, several hundred miles south of Cuba.

The biggest storm in a year is bowling along up the coast, increasing in intensity at every bound. The gale, which in the tropics, and now known as the Cuban hurricane, is due here to-morrow night.

Extensive preparations have been made hert? and along the coast to meet the hurri cane.

The hurricane signal consists of two red Hags, each with a black square in the centre. Yesterday was one of the hottest September days experienced in a number oi vears.
