KILLED BY A FALL. COiTY MS SUMMARY. Mti Mi II II If! SATISFACTION. One day this last June a rosy, good natured brother who lives up on the Appanoose, came in and said "Hello!" We said now are you?" Said he, "I feel like a four-year- old just off pasture. Do you see this suit?" pointing to the one he had on, "I bought this of you the first month you opened your store in Ottawa, ten years ago, and it is almost as good as ever" and it was.

The colors were as bright and these wasn't a break in it except the bottoms of the'pantaloons were frayed a little. And he said "if crops come out all right I will be in this fall for another one." (We expect to see himevery day). Friends, don't you believe that our clothing is a little better than that found in most stores? The colors hold better, the fabric is made of better wool, and we know the cut, fit and workmanship are the best human skill can produce and the prices are just as low as the trashy stuff is sold for. This season we propose to sell goods a shade lower than ever. We will tell you why: About the first of Tuly we received warning letters from manufacturers, and right after the 4th of Tuly we scraped all the cash together we could and hurried to the eastern markets, and luckily bought our entire stock before the rise, and bought in such large quantities that we got the jobbers discount on bills, hence we sell all lines a little less than before.

Hughes, of Centropolis, is Found Unconscious at the Foot of a Ravine Had Iaid There Twelve Hours. Jacob Hughes, familiarly known as" "Jake" Hughes, of Centropolis, died yesterday morning as a result of a bad fall Sunday night. Mr. Hughes had been in Ottawa Saturday with his brother Ben with whom he returned and remained over night Saturday and the greater part of Sunday. While walking home after dark across some timber land, through which runs a deep ravine, he evidently met with a fall.

At least nothing was seen of him after he entered this timber until Monday night long after dark, when his bodjr was discovered at the bottom of the ravine in an almost lifeless condition. He had said he would be home Monday and his family became alarmed about him when he failed to arrive, and, with the aid of the neighbors, searched the timber for several hours before he was discovered as above stated. He was carried to his home and a physician summoned, but he did not regain consciousness, and yesterday morning passed away. There were no severe marks of violence upon his body and no bones broken. It is supposed that he lost his way in the dark and was injured internally as he rolled over the precipitous bank, a distance of some twenty-five feet, to the stream below.

Mr. Hughes was born in this county, his parents coming here at an early day, being among the earliest settlers of the county. He was about 55 years of age, a healthy, sober man. He leaves a wife and six daughters, all of whom reside in Centropolis. A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

Santa Fe Employees Surprise their Itrotlier Employe at his Home. One of the most successful surprises that has been planned this season was that upon Santa Fe Station Agent S. M. Campbell Sunday noon. It was Mr.

Campbell's 47th birthday and the employees of the station fixed up a good surprise for him. They arranged to have everything ready for an elegant dinner when he should arrive from the noon train Sunday. They then got a friend to detain Mr. Campbell at the station while they all assembled at the Campbell residence ready for his return. The surprise was a complete one, Mr.

Campbell arriving without the slightest anticipation of their intentions. Before he could recover from the shock of the surprise, Baggage Master M. H. Kennedy began making a speech, at the conclusion cf which he presented Mr. Campbell with an elegant rocking chair on behalf of the Santa Fe station employees.

Resolved, That this Lodge record the testimony of their appreciation of his worth while living and the great loss we have sustained in his death, and while we sincerely 'condole with the bereaved family on the dispensation with which it has pleased Divine Providence to afflict them, we com mend them to Him who orders all things for the best and whose chastise ments are meant in mercy; and further Resolved, That these resolutions be made a part of the records of the Lodge and that copies be furnished to the members of the family of the deceased brother.
