All Grocerymen Not Selling
Strictly for Cash Since
the Beginning of Cash
Prices on Groceries.
1t is Proving a Decided Success
to our Patrons as we'll as
to Ourselves.

The runaxays consists in lost Gus.
toners from the fact that they are
not paying lost accounts and not
troubled with misstatements at the
end of each month. When you
trade with the cash concern your
account is ended and prices guarau-
teed the lowest in market. It's SIM
pie to understand why cash demands
the lowest possible price. If you
have a dollar you want changed
anyone will give you one hundred
cents for it Crowded he hasn't been
buying groceries and having them
chargeO. If so he will say I
havn't the money, but if you will
give me the dollar will give you
the change in thirty days. Your
reason will teach you that dollar is
worth more to you at that time,
than thirty, sixty or ninety days
and maybe never if his family takes
sick and funeral expense to pay.
Now, neighbor, haven't you had
yoGr customers tc say they couldn't
pay because they had to pay a
DOCTORS bill and later on they had
to pay other bills more pressing
than yours, and later on you had to
charge that Identical account to loss
in your statement of the years bus
mess. Well, if it be true who
loses it! You can't say you never
lose any accounts. You simply
have to charge more Tor your goods
to make dividend at the end of
the years business.
Now, customer, listen to the tale
of woe.. The only merchan: that's
prospecting today is the one that
pays cash for his goods. Cash dis.
counts pays all expenses Of doing
business.
Why not each customer pay cash
and make the same saving. CASH
demands the lowest possible price.

THEIR WORK WELL DONE.
Good Results Accomplished by Post
office Inspectors.

Office inspectors.
The great work said Chief Postoffice
Inspector Wheeler yesterday accom-
plished by our force of inspectors during
last month is monument to their useful
ness as government servants. that Is, If
results prove anything, and for results j
always look at the number of arrests made.
The arrest is always the finishing touch
on a piece OF depreciation work, although
rne-tenths of our laborS have little or moth
ing to do with depredationS or arrests.
The depreciation work. however, is the
important branch of the inspector SER
vice. and while every man is rot cut out
for a thief catcher we have many good
ones on the force. Weare waging war par
ticularly against the crooks who amuse
themselves by cracking postoffice safes
and our record for March shows very graft
flying results in that direction.
During last month the inspectors ar
rested total of l66 persons. charged with
al kinds OF crimes from burglariZing post
offices 10 sending obscene matter through
the mails. OF This total, forty-four were
postofiiCc burglars, or nearly an avera ge of
q man and onc-half each day during the
month.
The other arrests comprised eleven post
masters, six assistant postmasters, six
clerks i'll pOStOftiCeS, three letter carriers,
two RAILWAY postal clerks, three mail car
riers, two otheremplo Dyes Oft mail ervice.
and cighty-ninc persons, patrons of the
mails, charged with various offcnses gainst

by far the greatest record ever made by
this force in single month, and the in

He FAVORS A COMMISSION
Congressman Wheeler Discusses
the Cuban Situation.
Thinks This Government Should Send
Competent Judges to Examine Into
the Condition of Affairs.

Congressman Wheeler of Alabama was
one of the bravcst and most gallant OF
Confederate cavairymeu. He is West
Pointer aud q soldier to the manner born.
Gen. Wheeler has decided views on the
Cuban question. When asked by Il Times
representative what the Pre- Sident should
do in regard To the resolutions passed by the
House last Monday, the general said:
The questions at issue are matters offact
TO he ascertained. We ought to know the
exact condition which exists in Cuba,
whether or not they have organized armies;
their size and condition; also whether they
have a civil government.
I'VE ought To also know the truth as TO
the disputed facts about the lie ged
atrocities committed by the Spaniarls. 1t
seems To me it would be very proper for
thiS government To appoint commission,
composed OF men WHO understand the nu-
tional law aud VINO know what war is and
what should beeXactcd of organized armies.
The commission could go 10 Cuba ascer-
tain all facts regarding the Spanish aTmes.
and their method of conducting warfare.
1t could then go through the lines under a
flag of truce and make thorough exanlina-
tion of the conditions existing in the pa
triot army. its strength, organization, aud
truth regarding the results OF battles which
have occurred.
"'Of course these commissioners would
be in honor bound rot TO divulge any facts
regarding either one to the other Then
report would form a basis for the action of
this government. 1t may be charged that
that would be meddiing with other peoples
business, but this government has fewer
higher duties than TO give its attention Ia
matters which affect the people Of Cupu.
who live only seventy miles from our shores.
"If the Spanish should refuse To allow
sucn a commission Ia enter their lines. then
that would be an owledgmcnt that they
are not conducting a civilized warfare. But
i'll my Judgment a commission, such as
have suggested, would not be unweiconle
Ia either the Spaniards or the Cubans. and it
might, and would. i'll fact he the means of
bringing about better understanding of
the whole situation

TWINS PUZZLE The COURT

Judge, jury, bar and spectators in Judge

seldom rtyaled by the stage.

they looked, and many were the times,
Their mother told the lawyer, that she could

But even the dress would not have done
yesterday after Mr.. MILAN, the male Por-

in court. Each bad his hair closely trimmed,
and each wore a high white collar and
an Overcoat that buttCDed high over

MIR. MILAN gained permission from the
court for John 10 sit beside his brother,
and in placing him there ne had him take
the chair next to the" counsel, the. one
usually uCCupicd by the prisoner the bar.
The first witness. Mr.. Bell. was caned

whom had seen the money taken and had
helped To run and ca tch the boy. testified
They were both asked TO distinguish the
one they had seen snatch the money, and
each came around and placed his hand on
Johns shoulder.
1t was TOO much even for the dignity
of the court and the whole court room was
in roar of laughter.
Your honor. ] move YOU that the jury
