Price 50 cents and SI. AGRICULTURAL THE LEADING IMPLEMENT HOUSE OF SOUTHERN KANSAS last Saturday a telegram was received in this city from Chicago announcing the death by suicide of William J. Copeland, whose family re side in Parsons, and who, until recently, has been engaged in the real estate busi ness here. The Infer Ocean of Saturday gives the following particulars of the sad affair: "William J. Copeland, of Parsons, Kansas, arrived here Thursday afternoon and registered at the Atlantic Hotel, corner Sherman and Van Buren streets.

About 9 o'clock yesterday morning Maggie Fitzgerald noticed Copeland staggering along the hallway on the third floor to his room, No. 73," and remarked to another girl that he was drank. Two hours later she went to make up the room, and, to her horror, she found the occupant apparently dead and cold. Dr. Stitt was summoned and endeavored to save the unfortunate man's life, but unsuccessfully, as he died at o'clock in the afternoon.

He had taken morphine. The coroner was notified and took charge of the dead man's effects, which consisted of twelve cents, a silver watch and steel chain, a lot of cards, letters, papers, and a half-dozen tin-tvpes of the dead man, taken at Mountford's, No. 42 State street, evidently taken the day before. After sitting for his picture, he had had himself clean shaven, taking off some slight side-whiskers he wore, and then suicided. The cause of the act is probably the poverty of himself and wife, letters from Mrs.

Copeland show deceased had been away from his home since January last, and that his family there were in destitute circumstances. From the cards it appeared he had been a real estate dealer in Parsons, Kansas, and partner with Scantlebury in the gold and silver-plating business at No. 707 Sixth avenue, New York. He also had in his jHjssession a power of attorney from himself to his wife." He leaves a wife and three children, in our' city, in destitute circumstances, who certainly deserve the sympathy of the community in their terriblejaflliction. Fiscal Statement.

That we have an extensive variety and one of the largest stocks of GENERAL MERCHANDISE in Southern Kansas, and. one will admit by simply giving us a look through. We evade the old style of advertising, such as "Our facilities for buying enables us to place goods in the market lil per cent, less than other merchants can.

We retail goods at less than others can buy." etc. In this enlightened age people pay but little attention to this kind of bombast, our salesmen nave instructions to give all the attention possible to every person entering our store, showing them the goods and prices, whether they wish to buy or not, and we invite every one reading this advertisement to come in and take a careful look. Compare our PRICES AND GOODS with those of any house within our reach. We meet any drives and strive to beat the general prices made by any firm in competition with us, allowing the public to decide. We have just received a fine assostmcnt of from the lowest prices to the best and latest styled goods in the market.

In gentlemen's hats we have a fresh arrival of everything from a cheap wool hat to the nobbiest fur goods. We would also call particular attention to our new arrival of men's, boys' and children's CLOTHING. We think Ave can please any one wanting a genteel suit at the lowest bottom prices.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Mandrake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully combined, that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is stilly effectual as to purge out from the sySem those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease.

The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over tha country repose in it, prove their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sarsaparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generallv is its superiority tetany other medicme known, that we netUJdo no more than to ass we the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.
