CONCERNING CHEAPNESS.

Many people seem to want cheapness, es~
pecially In paints. And they getit At any
rate they get what they think is cheapness.
Manufacturers are always ready to accommo-
date. But is it really cheapness TO buy trash2
If IL is, then why not carry the idea further
TO a logical deduction2 Don't be satisfied
with cheap paints only. Buy a cheap brush.
And some cheap oil. And pay some cheap
tramp for applying the paint. And when you
find the work doesn't look well content your
self by remembering in was cheap. And
when the work has soon 10 be done over
again try TO persuade yourself it was cheap.
But was 1t really cheap Would ID not have
been cheaper to have bought good paint and
good oil. and to have paid a good painter
Would not the good material have gone fur
ther, looked better and lasted longer
Wouldn't that have been true fcheapness2
Wouldn't Il have been true economy Isn't
the moral of it all that pure paints are the
cheapest? And doesn't the further moral
follow Buy the Harrison brands" Of Pure
Paints.

A GOOD MAN.

Few men are better known in
in central Illinois than Rev. A.
A. Stevens. For many years
he was postor of the Congrega-
tional chm ch in Peoria He is
not only distinguished by a life
of vital piety, but by a great
practical benevolence, by wise
foresight, and by the most pro-
found sense ofjustice. No mans
advise is 50 widely sought as is
his. No mans opinion is hsten-
ed to with greater respect. Hav-
ing labored all his life for the
good of others, he has yet, by
the exercise of judicious econo-
my and sound business sense,
amassed enough to make him
comfortable in the decline OF
life, 30 that he is spending his
years now like a sage in his
ewn academic grove. When
such a man, therefore, recon-
mends a thing, the pnblic can
assured that it is done from the
best of motives. Rev. Stevens
had a grandchild that was suf-
fering with a severe cold with
symptoms OF the Group. H.
heard of Reid's German Cough
and Kidney Cure and gave ii &
dose. The effect was so remark
able, relief was so immediate
that he used it again and agatI
= and he says that Reid's GermaI
!. Cough and Kidney Cure is tn
!. most wonderful medicine b
p ever saw. Perfectly harmless
: but always reliable, This tes
. timonial is all the more crafty
l. ing because it comes eutirel
. unsolicited, and the high chal
&c . acter of Mr.. Stevens shows ths
n. his veriict is based upon aciu'
or trial. Itis such evidence as tn

A CHARGE OF FORGERY.
William Myers Committed to Jail to
Await Trial.

A young man named William Myers was ar
rested yesterday by Detectives Raft and Carter
and taken to police headquarters on suspicion
OF forgery. The prisoner was emphatic in the
denial of his guilt and threatened suit against
every person whom he had reason to suspect
was responsible for his arrest or had any con-
Inection whatever with it. He is not quite
thirty years old and has wife and one child.
He formerly lived in Rockville, Md, and his
wife was from Snow Hill, Md. About four
years ago Myers came here and obtained en-
ployment as drummer for Barbour d Hamil-
ton in this city and for Mr.. Harris, the grocer,
in Georgetown.
THE FoRaERIEs DISCOVERED.
Some time ago he was employed for few
days by Mr.. J. Edward Chapman, the wood and
coal dealer. Not many weeks after Myers left
his employment Mr.. Chapman discovered a
shortage in his funds at the National Metro
politan bank. The shortage was Investigated
and it was discovered that two forged checks
one for S85 and the other for S150-had been
honored at the bank. One check was
dated December "a, 1889. 1t was made pay
BILE to myself or bearer" the sum being ss5.
Meeting with such success the forger made out
a second check two days later and secured from
the bank $50 of Mr.. Chapman's funds.
WHAT THE DETECTIVES LEARNED OF MYERS HABITS
The officers in conducting the investigation
learned that Myers had been drinking heavily
and spending money freely. They also learned
that while Myers was on a spree in Phiadel-
phia ne received $25 from a man named Rid
die. The prisoner claimed that the money was
loan, but Riddle told different story. He
said that while Myers was drinking he gave
him (Riddle) $50 to keep for him and that the
S25 was a part of that sum. When the detec-
tives told Myers what Riddle had said the
prisoner remarked that he might as we'll tell
the truth. Myers subsequently made
CONFESSION.
He said he had been drinking and he man
aged some way to get into a room at saloon,
where he lost his money in whisky and gam
bling, and when he awoke the next morning
he was in house on Maryland avenue.
In the prisoners possession was letter from
his wife complaining of his conduct and telling
him that she had taken their child and re-
turned to her former home at Snow Hill. He
also had a letter of recommendation from Mr..
Chapman.
This morning the prisoner was photographed
for the police gallery.
COMMITTED TO JAIL.
When the case was called in the Police Court
MIR. Shillington for the defendant waived an
and the case was sent to the grand
jury. Being unable to furnish bail he was

Rheumatism is most prevalent because exposure to the
