The word bargain has been so freely ap-
piled when the case did not warrant its use that
to many it has lost its real significance. We
want you to closely scrutiniZe these offerings;
each and every one is real bargain in the
fullest sense of the word. With us the rule of
advertising is that each and every price quoted
is guaranteed to be correct. You will notice
here very great reductions announced, each be-
ing genuine statement which is backed by
the goods exactly as advertised.

scOUNOREL OR FOOL?

The following is from the Sacra-
mento Bee.
The NEST Infamous swind'e ever
perpetrated against the people OF
thee United States was inaugnrated
on february Sth, when Grover Cleve-
land. President, and J. G.. Carlisle,
Secrei arv of the Treasury, entered IN
to ~ secret compact with he Roths-
childs and J. Pierpont Morgan to
permit them to take $62,3l5,OOO In
Government bonds at their own
figure. 1O4.49. The President and DIS
man Friday of the Treasury claim to
have believed that the credit OF this
Nation was at such low ebb that
these money gamblers came as savlors
tothe Nation. What kind OF savlors
thew really we're can be briefly told:
Government per cents with only
twelve years to run were selling In
omen market on February Sth, at ITO
and III. Four per cents with thirty
wears tn run were therefore worth ll9.
Yet the President and Secretary, with
out testing the market, without giving
the people chance, without inqulr.
ing what our banks would give Tor
such bonds, secretly agreed to sell to
the syndicate SEC, 315.O 900 Of thirty-year
per cents. worth 119 or more, for
1o4a or a little less. If there was any
doubt that the bonds were really worth
l1e, It is set at rest by the fact that
the loan was subscribed for tel times
over at 1871. and that as soon as the
syndicate secured control Of the bonds,
1l9 and more was freely offered for
them, with no sellers to take the
offers.
Here are figures of what this Ma
ton was buncoed out Of by Cleveland,
Carlisle and the gold gamblers, made
by the New York World when 11S had
been reached:

Cleveland had shown himself in this
matter TO be either a scoundrel or a
foo. either the confidant and confed-
crate of the swindlers, or their dupe
Harsh words some may say, to use
concerning a President of the United
States. But are they not true?

PURE FOOD.

There is bill before the Legisla-
ture providing for food inspector.
1t is almost a copy of the Ohio law
A brief summary of the work of the
Ohio commission says:
Vinegar sold as cider vinegar is on
the market. sold regularly md bought
in perfect faith. which is chemical
compound. Jellies and jams were
analysed and found to contain only
small percentage of the real fruits
Jellies were made of water, grape and
cane sugar, ash and coloring matter.
Spices yielded, on analysis, cocoanut
shells, rice, -four and ashes. Coffee
contained burnt starch, burnt sugar
end saccharine extracts The revela
tons from the analysis Of two tonics,
much advertised and recommended as
especially beneficial to mothers and
children. We're startling. Druggists
were made the defendants. Four ar
rests were made, three for selling
goods not true to label, and one for
selling a predigested food which con-
tanned no food element. These goods
are sold over the whole country. One
tonic proved to be Bordeaux wine and
did not contain a fraction Of the drug
that gave it its name. 1t yielded on
analysis one-fifth alcohol. The other
tonic, two brands of which were ana
lyzed, claimed to be free from alcohol.
one contained 159o Of pure alcohol,
the other yielded none. and in both
large percentage of salicylic acid was
found. Tablets said to contain five
grains of medicine yielded one. An
other tablet did not contain fraction
Of a grain.
These and other facts worked up
proper public sentiment throughout
Ohio, and it has become easy to secure
convictions under the law As re-
suit there was scramble to get adul
terated goods out Of Ohio, and mott
fication by Ohio merchants to the
manufacturers and supply houses
that purity of all further shipments
must be guaranteed.
The adulterated goods that Ohio re-
fuses are being supplied to the people

GOOD FOR THE FIREMEN.

Governor Hastings, of Pennsyl-
vania, has recently signed bill re-
curing insurance companies doing
business in the State, to pay two per
cent. of their business for the public
good. One per cent. goes to the
State Treasury, the other one per
cent. goes to the city and borough
councils for the use of the firemen.
We think this very wise, and in fact
believe, from the mandatory rates
now used by insurance companies
they should contribute more. The
firemen are their protectors. They
meet all kinds of danger, ofttimes to
the sacrifice of life, while the stock
holder reyels IN the profits OF prem
iums. We suggest that such a law
will be right and proper in West
Virginia.

Killing Fish With Dynamite.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, June 90
Since the building of the Charleston,
Clendennin and Sutton Railroad up
Elk River it has brought the use of
dynamite into common use, the Ital-
ians and negroes employed on the
work have almost depleted the Elk
River of fish by exploding dynamite
in holes where the fish congregate.
Thousands of the finest bass and
trout in the stream haye been
slaughtered, and fishermen say the
river, which was a year ago one of
the best for fish in the state, is almost
barren, and that a bite is a novelty.
The dynamiters kill hundreds of fish
for every one eaten, allowing the or
binary sized ones to float off. Wig
orous efforts are now being made to
stop the wholesale destruction.
