CHICAGO May LOSE a MILLION.
Two Thousand saloon Licenses to
Be Surrendered.

Two Thousand saloon Licenses to
BE Surrendered.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, December %. There
is prospect that the city OF Chicago
will loose very large sum of money
during the fical year beginning Decem-
Der 1, 1895, as it is estimated that fully
1000 saloons will go out of business
with the commencement of the new
year. Each saloon pays license of
$500 a year, and the loss will be in
the neighborhood of a million dollars.
Hundreds of saloons have been main
tanned in the city by rival brewing
companies, between which there has
been the keenest competition. They
have established and filed up saloons,
advanced money to pay the license
fees. and often paid a share of run
ming expenses simply to prevent other
breweries from getting ahead in se-
curing the local trade. Costly
signs are furnished free. There
is no question that the maintenance Of
these saloons has cost the brewers
thousands of dollars annually, and
the reason that so many are to be
closed January is that the beermak-
ers are growing tired of the burden.
The prospect of an early settlement of
the beer war, too, is doubtless another
reason. Peter Fortune, one of the
wealthiest Chicago brewers, is the
authority for the statement that either
the price of beer must be advanced or
more than half the breweries here
must fail inside another year.
John ]. Swench, of the Chicago
Liquor Dealers Association was ask
ed what he thought would be the
probable outcome of the Brewers AS
sociation's s action in the shutting down
of saloons. stAs a matter of fact. "
said Mr.. Swench, sit is the general
belief among the members of our as
sociation that about 200 saioon-keepcrs
will 60 out of business simply on ac-
count of the hard times. Heretofore
it has been the practice among brewers,
when man wished to engage in the
saloen business, to pay the first period
license and to pay one months rent
for his saloon, to furnish him with
the necessary fixtures and supply him
with stock, all without any guarantee
from him and without even inquiring
as to his financial responsibilities and
standing. This is very poor way
of doing business, and certainly would
not be tolerated in any other line OF
commercial trade.
This irregularity of method has
been the indirect cause of much OF
financial embarrassment throughout
the city. The saloon-keeper thus
started in business goes along from
hand to mouth, and he succeeds and
makes money in his gamble-for that
is Just what it is-all well and good;
if not, then the loss must be suffered
by somebody else. ! am of the opin-
ion that the proposed action of the
Brewers; Association win have q good
effect generally upon all parties con
cerred. Boston Transcript

The Ideal Pnnacea.

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chi
cago, says: ~ regard DR.. Kings
New Discovery as an Ideal Panaeea
for Coughs, Colds and Lung Com
plants, having used it in my family
for the last five years to the exclusion
of physicians prescriptions or other
preparations.
Rev. John Burgus, Keoknk, Iowa,
writes: l have been Minister of the
Methodist Episcopal Church for sc
years or more, and have never found
anything so beneficial, or that gave
me such speedy relief as DR.. Kings
New Discovery. Try this Ideal

II MAY Do as Much for You.

Mr.. Fred Miller, Irving, H., writes
that he had Severe Kidney trouble
for many years, with severe pains in
his back and also that his bladder
was effected he tried many so called
Kidney cures but with out any good
result. About a year ago he began
use of Electric Bitters and found relief
at once. Electric Bitiers is especially
adapted to cure Of all Kidney and
Liver troubles and often gives almost
instant relief. One trial will prove
our statement. Price only 50 cents
for large bottle. At Blomeyer & Ha
mans drug store.

SOLD Lots of Goods.

Tight as times have been and few as
the dollars have been during the last
twelve months, one merchant in this
city tells US that his sales during the
year just closed amounted to nearly
fifty thousand dollars, and this too,
without an effort on his part. If this
statement is true, and we have no rea-
son to doubt 1t, what is the use OF
longer saying that Cape Girardeau is
a dead town. If the sales of one mer-
chant amount to fifty thousand dollars
in one year. and that an extraordi-
nary dull business year why should
we hear the word passed round that
we have dull dead town?
We have a good town, located in a
good productive country. The farm
er IN this section of the country is
healthy, wealthy and prosperous.

A Christmas Present That Was APP
preciated.

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Houck were the
recipients on Christmas day of a pres
ent that was highly appreciated. The
present was large oil painting Of
Elmwood, Mr.. Houck's handsome
country home. The painting was the
work of Otto Holm and of course il
faithfully and truly represents the
Elmwood mansion. The picture was
a present from the railroad officers

Plethora of Dimes.

If you are an observer of small
things you have not failed TO notice OF
late the enormous number of 10c pieces
in circulation.
Recently, if you went into a store,
made a &c purchase, and gave a dol
lar bill, it would have been safe to
wager that you would have received
in change half dollar, quarter
and two dimes. Now if you go into
q store, make small purchase, and
lay down dollar, it is almost a sure
thing that yea will receive the change
in 10c pieces.
1 went into the bank the other day
for change for SIS bill. received
"a of it in 10c pieces.
ssCan't give ysu anything else, the
paying clerk said.
why notg" 1 asked.
Because, he said, ''every bank in
America is overstocked with dimes.
About a year ago, when the 10c saving
bank was SO popular. it was almost
impossible to get 100 loc pieces at one
time. Consequently the Government
was compelled to issue millions of
them.
The 10c savings bank is no longer
a novelty, and now that there are but
few of them in use, the dimes are
again in circulation. 1t is common
thing for large house to deposit 10,-
900 1Oc pieces at one time.-New York

1t is Badly Warped. and Other Dogs Flee
in Terror.
St. Paul, KY, April 15-Jim Mason
lives on Twelve Pole Creek and comes
to St. Paul TO take the accommodation
train, that stops only when it is signal
led. to go to Portsmouth once a week.
Jim Mason isn't different from other
Kentuckians, but his dog has not a
parallel on earth.
There are plenty of two-faced people
in the world, but in the dog kingdom
there is nothing like this old dog. 1t is
Of a brindle breed, about the size of a
bulldog, and it is a sight. Facing the
east his south side measures from the
backbone over the hip three inches
more than does the north side. The
same conditions prevail from the tip of
the nose to the end of the tail. The
head bears the same defomity, the
south side being the largest. The south
ern ear is larger and so are the teeth.
The nose is also one-sided.
Il guess" says Jim Mason, '"two
doge got split up while running after
a rabbit. and little half and big half
go: together and grew fast" One eye
is much larger than the other, but the
dog runs as straight as any other dog.
This strangely formed dog never no
tices that it is warped, but other dogs
do, and more than one has looked at
him, then, with tails between their legs
and yell of terror, have run to cover.

Gus advantages set forth in its behalf
are cleanliness, nois.lessness, durability.
elasticity, freedom from slipperiness,
whether wet or dry, and moderate cost.
Unlike wood, too, it is nonabsorben,
and consequently inodorous. 1t presents
the minimum resistance to traction, and
being elastic under passing loads does
away with the vibration caused by
heavy teaming. The blocks are imbed
ded in tar and rest upon concrete
base six inches thick. When taken NJ
for examination, they have exhibited,
when compared with new ones, n re.
