order to meet competition. We
lower the price because we can af-
ford to lower it. AS our buyer
has picked up large jobs in the
eastern markets at about half the
regular price, and which we are
selling nt prices that simply defy
all competition. We set the price
on Lawrence LII Muslin from 20
yards for S1.O0 to 80 yards; from
30 to 35 yards; from 35 to 40
yards. or 2ao per yard, or 2 yards
at the former price of one. We
set the price on spool cotton from
60c n dozen to 45; from 45c to 35;
from 35 to 30c per dozen, or 2Bc
per spool, or 2 spools at tho former
price of l. Spool silk we set the

could get more for the above goods
than the above prices from job
bing houses, or from some other

do it. We propose to give our GUS
toners the benefit of the big job to
close. No limit is placed-you
can get all you want and when you
call for it we will not be out.

SIMPSONS Company Of Players,

This troupe, which has been at the
Columbia Theatre, Pueblo, during the
past winter, is now making a tour Of
smaller places. They have been at La
Junta for the past week and have greatly
pleased the people. Wemake the follow
ing extracts from La Junta papers:
Watermelon: This is the best and
most meritorious troupe that has ever ap-
most liberal patronage, all the members
being first-class and up in their several
parts.
Tribune: Mr.. Simpson has surround
ed himself with a company of versatile
actors and actresses, and his efforts to
amuse should receive encouragement.
There is not poor performer in the
company.

very pleasant one and large crowd will
enjoy the trip. Arrangements have
been made for round trip tickets over
tho cog wheel road to the top Of Pixies

want at other stores and the prices
ale too high and don't suit you, &c
to Hilfkers. They will have
what you want and the prices will
be just right as they are leaders

picking up snaps enables them to
make prices 80 that you can all af-

ductions will bring gladness to
many. The splendid drives they
offer in these goods will be rec
ord breaker for Rocky Ford, or
for any other town in the valley,
so far as quality of goods and
prices are concerned. IT you
need anything in their line you
will miss the opportunity of a life
time if you fail to look over their
immense stock before purchasing
elsewhere. Maxwell Bros. are
strictly in it, and no one can un-
dersell them, as they will not be
undersold. Never in the history
of the Arkansas valley has any
store offered the prices they offer,
and only the amount of business
they do justifies them in selling
at such ridiculously low figures.

Any one who has ever had an attack
OF inhamatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. J. A. Stumm, 900 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from a siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Mer-
rinm's confectionery establishment. Some
months ago, on leaving the heated work
room to run across the street on an or
rand, he was caught out in the rain. Tho
result WINS that when ready to go homo
that night he was unable to walk, owing
to infamatory rheumatism. He was talk
en- homo, and on arrival was placed be-
fore good fire and thoroughly rubbed
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During
the evening and night he was repeatedly
bathed with this liniment, and by morn
ing was relieved OF all rheumatic pains.
He now takes especial pleasure in prais-
ing Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and al
ways keeps bottle OF it in tho house.

service was conducted by the pastor, who
gave an appropriate address to each Off
Ger elect.
