would do the family washing better
than it had ever been done before, with
less labor and without the use of II

wonderful results the best equipped

tho preparation energies from the fac
tory bearing the name and trade mark

Among the other advantages Eos has
over any washing powder on the
worlds market today are: That Il lit
tie Eos in the water makes 1t soft and
velvcty. Any one putting their hands
in water prepared with Eos will almost
Immediately eXclaim: "Nly, this water

We also guarantee that Eos will pre-
vent tianncls and wOolens from shrink

your flanncls in water in which Eos Is
used, they will come out of the wash
soft, lcecy and white. For all securing

Use Eos in doing your family wash

Use Eos to wash your dishes and for

Use Eos to scOur your milk pans!
Use Eos to clean your paint!

RUSSELL AND FRENCH FIGHT.

These are Republican times That
party has complete control of affairs,
and all good Republicans should dwell
together in peace and brotherly love.
But such is not the case, Envy and
strife has entered among them and now
the house of Russell and French are at
bitter enmity. Indeed so deadly has
become the feud between these two that
they have quarrelled, come to blows and
French has been knocked out on the
first round.
1t occurred yesterday afternoon and
came about in this way: Sam Russell
and Murph French, both colored, are
employed at the Park Hotel to run the
electric light engine They have been
quarrelling and making threats against
each other for several days. Yesterday
the feeling reached a climax when
French accused Russell of breaking his
wheel-barrow and Russell seized an iron
water pitcher and tried to break Rus
sells head. OF course he did not sue
coed, but he knocked him down, and
by-standers prevented further trouble.
French told his trouble to Chief of
Police Heart and to-day Russell will
be called on to answer the charge of
an assault with a deadly weapon before
Mayor Russ.
