Cash always commands the best on
the market at the lowest possible prices.
The cash buyer makes money two ways;
he pays less for goods, ond he gets the
best goods. Credit buying is putting a
club in the hands of your master who
will use it on your head when the wolf
is at your door. The poor man, least of
all, can afford to buy on credit; he wants
the little wages he earns go as far as it
can. Besides he wants to go to bed and
enjoy sweet slumber that cannot be
broken by the barking spectre of debt.
Always pay as you go. Be a cash man.
AS to the controversy in Arapahoe
about the depth of the Lincoln salt well,
we beg to state that according to the
sixth biennial report of the commission
er of Public Lands and Buildings of 1888,
it is 2,4o3 feet deep. We are glad to say
that last Tuesday, just before taking out
the pipes of our artesian well, flow of
water rising four feet above the level
was struck, and while the pipes remained
stationery it flowed freely for thirty min
utes. Owing to other work of the two
firms who are digging our wells, work
will be suspended for about two weeks

The National Game.


McCook's elegant new base ball
grounds were formally opened, Tuesday
afternoon, in the presence of an over
flowing grand stand and with crowd
in the bleachers. The opening game
was played between the Arapahoe and
Stratton clubs, which are among the
best amateur players in this part of the
state. The game was one to delight the
lovers of the national game and was
very closely contested.
Early in the game trouble was narrow
ly averted over the umpire, and at differ
ent intervals in its progress that gentle
man caused explosions of wrath from
dissatisfied players, but all in all it was
q good game, and outside of the kicking
was very satisfactory contest. The
score was IL to 9 in favor of Arapahoe.

Long Island Railroad Company Is 81 ton,
and the total amount paid during the last
three years has been S11S,j33. At the rate pro-
posed the city will save at present about SlG,Ooo

the growth Of Brooklyn and the increase in the
consumption of water. This provision was in
serted in the cOmpanys franchise Mt the sug-
gcstion of Mr. A. r. White, the Commissioner
Of city Works. who thinks that while the city
has made a fairly good bargain the company
will not suffer any loss. The city is under no
obligation to have It's coal hauled by this COM
pany. and in all probability the competition
between It and the Long Island Railroad Will
result in a still lower rate and still larger
saving to Brooklyn. While the city Is not TO
