the Government is do

battle and when every one was
exercised over the events of Jan

that any other result than was
experienced by the prisoners
would follow, but now that mat.
ters have tiled down in the old
groove it is probable the council
will reconsider quite a number
of the cases and pursue the same
course that taken in the case OF
V. V. Ashford. Among the
masses on both sides Of the poll
ucal fence such action would be
endorsed.
II there is any doubt in the
minds of the people who use
wire fence regarding the quality
of the wire we sell; if there is
any one who believes that Amer
ican galvanized wire is superior
in quality to the European arti-
Gle, the little story we tell here
should convince them of their
mistake. Our European wire
has been tested at the iron works
and shows a tensile strength OF
200 pounds-that is to say the
wire was stretched by machinery
and when the Indicator showed
200 the wire parted. Again it
was tested by being rolled
around an IRON bar and pounded
to ascertain whether the galva-
nizing would come off and
whether the annealng was all
right. Every test was satisfac-
tory as the samples in our store
will prove. But there were peo-
pie then who want ed nothing that

ments were of monarChial form,
Americo-maniacs, if the term
may be allowed, and who insisted
upon their cattle scratching their
backs upon American wire. We
ordered a hundred coils and put
it through the same tests exactly
that had been given the Europe.
an article. The wire broke at
100 pounds, the galvanizlng
cracked when it was hammered
and the annealing was imperfect.
The result is we have a hundred
coils of beautiful looking wire
on our hands that we would not
sell at any price, because it would
injure our wire trade for ever
Talk about cattle rubbing thciI
backs against it, why, if a call
should tall against it, it would
break in pieces.
For good, strong economical
fencing the Jones Locked should
be adopted and it should be
made OF the wire we sell. The
stays cost six cents each and the
washers necessary to fasten the
wire to, them about two
cents. The stays may be used
from six to thirty feet apart &C.
Cording to the character of the
ground and the purpose for
which the paddock is to be
used. People who have tried
the fence like it and recommend
it to their friends. We have a
large stock of wire, stays and
washers, and we will be pleased
to supply the material or any in,
formation concerning it to peo.
pie who use lenCes.
We have lately received the
CuteSt and best tea strainers I'm
aginable, and we sell them for q
quarter each. They are made
with spring fastening that fits
around the spout and prevents
the strainer from webbing.
You should try one if you want
a good thing.

bakers, broilcrs and general

pleasant odors and without the
slightest danger Of explosion
Kerosene oil is cheaper than any
other fuel and the result is that
a meal cooked on one of them

cents. In warm climate there
is nothing more convenient OF
better taan a Dietz Stove.
