you are getting it good; and
a regular dealer in this line
knows his business and you feel safe
in buying of him. Then remember
that on this coming Monday you want
to flush up your shopping with US.
Look us over, we have bargains left
yet; and you can secure them. Ifyou
have been to Washington looking

The Turkeys of Tiffin.

Friend Kimmel, writing from the
Heidelberg university, at Tifin, o.,
says that there seems to be an analogy
existing between our present free trade
Democracy and two old time turkey
trappers that used to reside in that vi
cinity. One of the trappers built pen
and succeeded in catching three fine
wild turkeys But while putting then
into the pen one got away from him,
SO he foolishly threw down the two he
had in his hands to run after the one
that got away. The other trapper, see
ing the race, exclaimed, run, Bottle,
run!' But Bottle failed to run fast
enough, and SO lost all his turkeys
In like manner our free trade friends
want te throw down our large, certain
and profitable home market to risk ac-
curing small share III the sometimes
Improbable and always uncertain so
called markets Of the world - The only
difference seems to be that of the two
the free trader is the bigger fool, for
the trapper risked losing only 6625 per
cent in order to catch 3315 per cent
while the free trader risks losing SO per
cert III order to acquire the meager and
uncertain per cent

The Entire City Flooded with Water to

WILL1AMsPoRT, Pa, May p. = The
river continued to rise during the nigh t
and this morning nearly the entire
business portion of the city is under
water. The Western Union Telegram h
Office, which is situated on comparative
ly high ground, has six inches of water
on it's floor. 1t has had no Geographic
comm unication with Lock Haven since
8 O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when the
telegraph operator was driven from his
Office by the rising food
At P. NJ. the water in the river had
reached height OF thirty-one feet
above low water, one foot higher than
the disastrous flood Of 1899 The entire
city is under water, which ranges in
depth from four to twenty feet. The
water is still rising at the rate of six
inches an hour. All the logs at the
boom, which broke at / o'clock this
morning, have been swept away, as we'll
as many saw mills and houses in the
lower part Of the city. No telegraph or
telephone wire is working out Of the
city with the single exception of a
shaky long-distance telephone wire.
In the business portion of the
city the water has reached a
depth of eight feet and shows
no signs of receding. The rain
at O'Clock is coming down in torrents.
The loss has already reached more
than 100000, and unless relief soon
comes 1t VIII be three times that much.
No trains have arrived or departed from
the city for twenty-four hours.

SIX SHOT TO DEATH.
Execution Of Spanish Anarchists
Who Attempted to Kill Capt.
Gen. CamDOS.


BARCELONA, May 2l.-The six Anar-
chists- Codina, Cerezuela, Sogas, Per-
nat, Villarubia and Mir-sentenced to
death after having been convicted of
completely in the attempt of Palias to
assassinate Capt.-Gen. Martinez Cam
pos, and of being concerned in the
Liceo Theater bomb outrage, were exc
cuted at 4 o'clock this morning outside
the Citadel of Mont Juich
The prisoners passed the night prevl-
GUS in the chapel of the fortress after
force had been used to compel them to
do SO. Rain was falling heavily this
morning when the condemned men
were taken from the chapel through
subterranean passages to the place of
execution. The first Of the doomed
men to appear was Sogas; then came
Cerezuela. They showed signs of re-
pentance and joined in the prayers Of
the priests who accompanied the prls-
oners to the place of death. Cerezuela
was quiet and appeared to be praying
silently. These were the only ones
pending doom. Their companions
shouted all kinds of revolutionary cries
while on the way to execution.
Troops were drawn up outside the
castle walls, forming three sides Of a
square. The fourth side was closed in
by the walls of the citadel. The six
anarchists were placed in line with
their faces to the wall. Standing a short
distance behind the condemned men
was the firing pa"ty.
At the first volley only four of the
convicts fell dead and a second volley
was necessary in the cases Of Sogas and
Codina to complete their execution.
There was no disorder.
