why" said groceryman, in a re-
cent interview, IL have been in busi-
ness in Omaha for many years and
have sold most all the different arti-
cles that have made their appearance
on the market, but l have never known
anything'to sell equal TO Kinks Eos. 1t
is pleasure for me to sell this prep
aration, as my customers report they
never used anything that gave such
perfect satisfaction. l use ii myself
In my own family. and my wife says
she feels that she could not do with
out it. although we commenced using
it but few days since"
Said another groceryman: "You ask
me If Eos sells. Well, l should think
1t did l am hardly able to keep 1t in
stock. 1t is the best selling prepar;l-
ton ever handled. declare, 1t seems
as If everybody wanted it, Yes,
Kinks Eos outsells them ALL"
Surely there must be something out
side of the ordinary washing compound
in this repartion to cause such im-
mense sales when II has so recently
been put before the public.
No amount of advertising could Gre
ate the demand Kinks Eos has did 1t
not posses absolute merit. People have
bought it, tried it ana then recon-
mended it to their friends. Therein
lies the great secret of it's success.
Use Eos in doing your family wash
ing!
Use Eos to wash your dishes and for
general kitchen work!
Use Eos to scour your milk pans!
Use Eos to clean your paint!
Use Eos to scrub your floor and your
work will be done better than it has
ever been done heretofore, at half the
labor and expense.

II is not thought that Governor Holcomb
will again interfere with Walkers sentence
and that he will be hanged next Friday.
Walker maintains a partially Indifferent de-
mcanor and does not seem TO fully realize
he is to be hanged. He makes frequent in
qury II there is any news from the gov
ernor." He now expresses the opinion that
Governor Holcomb is also in the conspiracy
against him. Sheriff Hobson is commencing
the preliminary arrangements. The execu-
tion will take place on the south side OF the
Jail, in an enclosure built for the purpose
The case has excited universal interest here
and while a large crowd will undoubtedly
be in the city no trouble is looked for. The
fact that Stevens the victim, was union
veteran and Walker an ex-confederate has
done much to influence public sentiment
against him and the theory OF insanity Is
set up in his behalf. Walkers clear business
views in the past also go far toward tearing
down the belief in his insanity upon the one
subject of "the gang that has been follow
ing him for years"
Public sentiment is divided, however, but
the majority of Lexington people and all
local physicians believe that a crazy old man
will ascend the gallows without knowing
where he is going or why, and that to a
great extent he is made the victim to ex-
plate the sentiment against previous muir
derers in this county, who, with money
and friends, have escaped the gailows.
