With pleasure / thank my many
friends and the public for the liberal
patronage they have given my Carpet
Cleaning business. The past year,
which has been a very successful
one considering the way our process
has been misrepresented, which is
exactly the same as used by the
principal carpet cleaners in this and
many other cities in the United
States.
From seven years. experience in
laying carpets in this city, cleaned
by other carpet cleaners, gives me
the knowledge of what is required
of first class carpet cleaning works.
We will give few Of the reasons
why it would he advantageous to
you for US to clean your carpets:
1st. We clean as good, if not bet
tel, for less money than you have
been paving.
I'd. Positively no carpet sent
home ripped (something that has
annoyed you often)
Sd. Will call for and return
promptly (something you are not
used to perhaps).
4th. We clean carpets thoroughly
and remove every particle of insect
life, no matter how busy we are.
5th. If you employ Us yon are
not troubled to get a carpet layer,
which is often very troublesome in
the midst of busy seasons.

An Imnnrtnnt Arreat.

An important arrest was made last night
in the person of Manuel polatek The
police claim to have positive information
that he fired the gun that did such fatal
execution on the night Of the murder. The
assassin who fired the gun at the discharge
OF which Hennessy fell, stumbled as he
ran off and came in contact with the gutter
curbing. Polatek's right ear is badly
mangled, as by fall, and his arm is seri-
ously bruised. Officer Cooper, who pur-
sued the assassins some distance, positively
identifies Polatek as the man who fell
down while running away.

A Norwegian, Andrew Drunken, we
think, formerly resided at Colfax, Dunn
County, Wis. He was a brave, eff
cient and shrewd soldier in the great
civil war.
One day while out on picket he was
suddenly startled by the whiz of a
bullet in closer proximity to his brains
than was pleasant Looking up he
saw Confederate picket some distance
off, reloading his gun.
Andrew took hasty aim at his busy
foe, fired and missed him. He lodged
behind an ancient tree, reloaded his
gun and then considered what he had
better do next.
Taking off his cap, he placed it on
the end of his bayonet, and. elevating
it head high, he stuck it out one side
of the tree as though he was taking a
look at the enemy. The Confederate
saw the cap, and, supposing there
he took better aim this time and fired.
did so Andrew lowered his gun and
remained perfectly quiet.
The Confederate knew he had killed
a Yankee, and Andrew supposed he
would come over and look at the re-
mains; hence he quietly awaited
further developments. He had not
long to wait; he could hear the tramp
of the enemy as he approached. An
drew awaited his arrival with breath
| less anxiety. As he drew near the
tree the Norwegian stepped out and
shot him dead. The next day a por-
ton of the army marched past the spot
where the dead picket still Law IN

The life preservers could not be come
at. She tried to secure a stool, or
bench, or plank, anything that would
float, for the moments of safety were
few. Several times she grasped some
article of wood, but it was at once
snatched from her hands by one of the
strong, brutal men.
Then she spied the young rufian of
| the day before, hooking and cursing
at his panic-stricken mates. Somehow
she made her way to the side of this
man; she laid her hand upon his arm
she spoke no word, only looked at him,
! then turned her eyes on me, a helpless
baby, lying in her helpless arms.
"The fellow said not a word to her.
With great curse he sprang into the
crowd that was fighting over posses
sion of long plank; he wrenched it
away from all of them, then swung
it about him to clear a space, knock
ing more than one into the water. With
his coat and neck-mufder he tied
mother and myself on to the plank,
and then slid it slowly and carefully
into the rapid, dark stream, cursing
like fiend all the while at the men
who would have torn the float from US.
"None too quick was his work, for,
! before he had time to drop beside US,
a great sheet of fire enveloped him,
and when he dropped into the water
and grasped the end of the plank and
pushed it off before him as he swan to
shore, the hair was crisped off his
! head, the shirt was a charred rag upon
his back, and mingled with the roasted
flesh of his body.

up. On the levee were planters and
darkies waiting to do what they could.
Mother, unnerved by fright, wet and
shivering in her night-clothes, could
| only thank this man, tell him her name,
and ask his. He refused to give it.
He was only too glad to help a real
lady and a little babby; it was all
right, and not with maxim no fuss

mother was thinking what next to say,
he disappeared, and she never saw OF

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'l get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And " Favorite
Prescription " produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a guaranteed remedy

Fish and Fishermen.

Somebody has given the following
definition of fisherman: "a pole and
line, with hook and angleworm at one
end and a fool at the other" The re-
suit, too, of long days sport" under
a broiling sun is usually string of five
or six small perch, half-grown bull
head, aud three or four pumpkin seeds,
together with stories of "bites" and,
struggles with catfish and mus kalonge
that keep the recording angel actively
employed.
Some years ago theory quite gener-
ally prevailed that fish constituted brain
food, furnishing that ittle-understood
organ with its supposed need of phos-
phorus; all this in face of the fact that
fishing communities, which subsist on
fish, are the stupidest people ashore.
Our observation tells against the the
DRY. Mark Twain's advice to the bore,
who called to consult him in regard to
the brain value OF a fish diet, was that
it was good. and that he, the bore,
ought to begin IL at once with a couple
of whales, the inference being that the
number could be increased as his
needs required The best fishing
ground with which we are familiar is
the Pullman Market Building, where
for few dimes one can get more and
better fish than from the Government
pier in fortnight. Journal.

Our large assortment of Straw
Mattings is now ready, and we
invite your early inspection to
wha. we know is the best line Of
mattings ever placed in the mar
ket. Having bought them at
very low figures we are selling
them accordingly. No matter

cost by using them through
the warm and dusty season
in place OF carpets. Your car
pets will last longer if this
methods followed. or conf
fort and health we say nothing.
Our better grades are made
jointless or with FIVE and two
yard ioints-these are better to
turn.

goods you will find handsome
and novel patterns never before
shown. lfyou are thinking Of
a mating send a request by
lpostal card or telephone and
the samples will be sent to you.
This saves you trouble and you
have the satisfaction OF looking
them over in your own home.
The samples are large and you

they will be dispatched to you
no delay-and you see the
