THE WONDER OF THE DAYIS
Why is it that Lewin Bros.
& Co. are doing a rnshiiig
business while other mer-
chants complain of dull times?
We will explain t^e prob-
lem. Ask the Ladies of Gaines-
ville and surrounding country
and they will substantiate our
assertion when we say that we
keep the best assorted stock iu
the Dry Goods line in the city.
We are headquarters for
Dress Goods and Trimmings.
We are up with the times in
bringing out the latest novel-
ties for Ladies wear.
We don't quote prices in
print because th e people are
convinced that our prices in
the house are lower than those
who give them on paper.
Take a peep at our Dress
Making Department. You
will see how busy our Mrs.
Katz is cutting and fitting.
While an arrav of half a
dozen experienced hands are
likewise busy basting, sewing
and pressing. It will do your
heart good to gaze upon piles
of beautiful combinations of
rich mateeials awaiting their
turn to be made up in elegant
walking and evening costumes.
A visit to our Millinery
Department will be a treat to
the Ladies to look at the new
novelties in Ladies Hats,
Fancy Ribbons, Plushes, Vel-
vets, Plumes, Feathers, Flow-
ers, Side Combs, Buckles and
Hair Ornaments. Our Madame
Laura has had many years'
experience as a fashionable
milliner and is well liked by
all who have dealings with her.
Our Cloak Department is
stocked with the latest novel-
ties in Wraps, Jackets and
.Newmarkets. We pride our-
selves in keeping the finest seal
plush garments in North
Texas.
We boast of having the best
and largest line of Carpets in
the state and we can safely say
that we sell more Carpets than
all the establishments combin-
ed in this city. Those who
bought Carpets from us know
the low prices they paid for
them, and those who are in
need of Carpets can easily find
out the difference by pricing.
At last, but not least, our
Gents' Furnishing Goods De-
partment is the largest here.
Out immense cut on Clothing
brought the people by dozens,
and we sold a great deal of the
$15,000 stock on our coun-
ters. The remainder, still on
hand, will be closed out a
former prices.

BRIEF MENTION.
The grand jury has got down to
active work.
CottoQ receipts at the compre.-s '
yesterday, were 350 bales. Prices
ranged from $8.40 to f9.
The bulk of the work done in I
the district court yesterday by 1
Clerk Lilly, was that of issuing
attachments.
The lightning c.lcula'or and (he
cough candy vendor, have folded
their tents and gone in 6earch of
greener pastures ami better pick
lag thai what th»y found in
Gainesville.
The closing up of business firms
has oommenced rather early in the
season this year. The begining
of that part of the programme has
heretofore began about the time
the new year makes its debut.
During the present month there
have been twenty-two interment*
in the City cemetery, seven adults,
five of whom were males, and two
females, the rest being children
under one year of age, with the
exception of two.
Mr. and Mrs. L. Pffeifer cele-
brated their silver wedding last
night at the residence of their
daughter, Mrs. C. Henniger, on
South Lindsay street. A number
of guests were present, some of
whom reside in other parts of the
ooontry, and the occasion was one
of grandeur and social pleasure.
There were two lntermeats in
the City cemetery Tuesday, one
being the remains of an aged lady
named Donavan, formerly of
Gainesville, but who has been re
siding in the Chickasaw nation for
■ome time, where she died Mon-
day last of pneumonia. The other
was an infant 3hild of Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks, of East Gainesville.
In the the district court Tuee.
day there being no c tses ready for
tiial, and with the probability that
there would be none this week,
Judge Barrett discharged the jury
for the week, till next Monday.
In the case of J. D. Atkeson vs.
B. R. Buffham, Rudolph Wor-
litxer & Bro., and the Whitney &
Holmes Organ Co., were given
■ leave to intervene.
If yon want the best roasted
coffee to be had call on Kilgore,

G. W. Way land and ask for Rio-
nosa. Every package guaranteed.
All persons wishing bridal pres-
ents can be suited by calling at J.
C. Morgeson's, south side square.
A BIB FAILURE.
H. D. OsBsrry Is Financially Pressed to
the Wall by His Creditors.
The principal topic of conversa-
tion in Gainesville Tuesday, in
business circles, was the failure of
H. D. DeBerry, which was first
annoucced yesterday morning
that a number of creditors had
sued out and run numerous at-
tachments on the mammoth stock
of dry goods of Mr. DeBerry, and
also on his saloon stock and fix
tares.
The ball wa<5 put in motion by
E. M.J Brooks, Mr. DeBerry
confidential clerk in the dry
goods rtore, his claim being for
$583.22. This attachment was
lollowed by one run in favor of
John J. Gullick, another clerk,
for $991.91, which was likewise
followed by one for $7342,58 in
favor of E. P. Bomar, after which
a regu'ar deluge of creditors had
attachments run, the total number
up to last night being fifteen as
follows, most of whom reside in
Gainesville:
E.'.P. Bomar $7342 50
R. II. Carr 1921 15
D. B. Clendenning 1413 50
John J. (iullick 991 91
E. M. Brooks 583 22
S. T. Bartlett 172 15
J, C. Jacobs ... 36 50
James Saddler 255 00
U. II. Russell 153 00
rOREION CREDITORS.
II. anilL. Block, Dallas $35C 00
A. C, Mathers & Co., San
Francisco 61 00
E. Eppstein, Sherman 323 lo
Brown Bros. & Co., i'hila 224 00
Anheuser-Busch, St, Louis.. 375 55
Making in the aggregate about
$15,000.
It is said that there are several
other creditors living at a distance
who probably hold large claims
against Mr. DeBerry and who will
likely proceed against his goods
and chattels as those above named
have done.
THE ATTACHED GOODS.
It is estimated that the dry
goods stock will invoice $20,000
and the saloon stock and fixtures
$5,000, besides considerable real
estate, outstanding accounts, etc.,
enough at least, iB hoped, to liqui-
date all creditors' claims and
leave a sufficient amount in the
hands of Mr, DeBerry with which
to again begin a lucrative busi-
ness. Henry DeBerry has a host
of warm friends in Gainesville
and Cooke county who honestly
hope to see him rally from his
present embarrassment and come
to the business front again soon.
Appsrssa-Msrter.
B. J. Apperson of this city and
Miss Virgie Morter of the Spring
Creek neighborhood were united
in marriage at 7:30 o'clock last
night at the bride's home, Rev.
M. H. Neely, pastor of the Den
ton street M. E. church officiating.
The wedding was strictly a private
affair, there being no one invited
except near relations of the bride
and an intimate friend or two of
Mr. Apperson. The happy couple
came to the city la&t night and
stopped at the elegant residence of
Mr. Isaac Cloud, on South Dixon
strett, where they intend boarding
this winter.
ROASTED ALIVE.
Last, but not least, you will
find the largest and best selected

ville at J. C. Morgeson's.

Razar Sam captured.
Sam Rucker, a negro man who
has resided in Gainesville for some
time, was arrested yesterday in
the Chickasaw nation, near Mari-
etta, where he was picking cotton,
by Officer W. E. Little, who
brought the darkey to Gainesville
last night and turned him over to
Sheriff Ware, who placed him jail
to await the arrival of the sheriff
of Washington oounty, who will
take Rucker to that county to
stand trial on a charge with as-
sault with the intent to commit
murder.

A Horrible Death by Fire Near Calhs-
burg, Cooke County.
Mrs. Deems, residing with her
family on Cy. Farris' farm, some
two miles from Callisburg, Cooke
county, was fatally burned Mon-
day evening while getting supper,
and died after suffering the most
horrible pains, at 12 o'clock the
same night. The back part of
her skirts came in contact
with the heated stove while
she was preparing the evening
meal, and she was not aware o1
the fact that her clothes had caugh)
fire till the flames had made great
headway, almost enveloping her
body. She screamed for help, but
none being near, her husband be-
ing some two hundred yards away
at the time, her entire clothing
except her shoes burned off before
help reached her. She lingered
till 12 o'clock that night when she
died in great agony. The unfor-
tunate lady leaves a husband and
several small children, one of
which is an infant.

Lsck sf J srisdietlss.
John and Will Stone returned
last evening 'from Paris, where
they had been to appear in the
United States court to answer to
the charge of killing Alf. Brown,
near Thackerville, I. T.f last
spring. Judge Bourland decided
that United States courts have no
jurisdiction in the case, because
the killing was done by Will
Stone, who is an adopted cit-
zen of the Chickasaw na-
tion. and so was Brown, the
man killed, hence the case be-
longs to the Chickasaw courts
and not to the United States
courts. The grand jury failed to
find a bill against the Stone boys,
and they return to Gainesville
highly elated over their good
fortune in being relieved of the
bother and vexation of a tedious
and costly trial, the result of
which would have most certainly
been an acquittal.

ou8 and Costly Presents.
At 7 o'clock yesterday evening
at St. Paul's Episcopal church on
East California street, Dr. Arthur
C. Scott and Miss Maud M. Sher-
wood, both of thiB city, were
united in marriage, Rev. Gibbs,
late of Galveston, now rector of St.

select friends witnessed the solemn
ceremonies, after which the entire
party repaired to the residence of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
F. R. Sherwood, North Dixon
street, where a grand reception
was held supplemented by an
elegant supper.
The church where the ceremony
was performed was handsomely
and tastily decorated for the oc-
casion, and upon the whole, this
is pronounced to be the grandest
wedding that has taken place in
Gainesville for many years, and
perhaps has never been excelled
in this city for grandeur and the
bestowal of costly bridal presents,
a partial list of which is given be-
low—the remainder will appear
in the next issue of The Hespe-
rian—the number given below
being eighty. The happy pair
will leave this morning at 9:20
