About that time mother she come out

BAD INDIAN KILLED.

Renegade Apache Chief Slain in Arizona.
DENVER, COL, June 5.--General
Wheaton has been notified that
Massia, the renegade Apache
chief, had been slain in Southern
Arizona by Indian scouts. Massia
killed three scouts before he gave
up the ghost. The passing off OF
Massia will be heard with delight
by all of the inhabitants ef South
ern Arizona and New Mexico. for
he was q red-handed murderer,
treacherous and powerful with the
disorderly element Of Carlos red
skins. He was one Of Geronimo's
braves and succeeded to that
chiefs authority among the rene
gades. Massia's speciality was at
tacking remote ranches, slaughter
ing white men and women and
driving cattle over the Mexican
border. He was captured with
Geronimo in 1856, and started for
Vernon barracks, Fla, where by
order Of the president, the band
was to be confined. At st. Louis
Massia escaped from the train and
was never recaptured.

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE SHAKERS.
An Interesting, God-Fearing People Who
Have Given the World Many
Imnortant Discoveries,

We may not accept their peculiar relig-
ious beliefs nor can we enter into the
spirit Of their sacrifices. 1t is not neces-
sary to believe as they do, but we can aud
do respect their sincerity Of purpose and
the honor and uprightness which marks
all their business dealings.
The Shakers have always been success
full inventors, and some Of the greatest of
the conveniences of the present day
found origin In their settlements.
In one particular they excel all other
men or classes OF men, and that is In cul-
tivation OF medicinal herbs and plants
and their preparation for use. They have
made II study for more than one hun
bred years 1t is one Of their peculiar In
dustries. Their lives have been devoted
to It.
Their latest and greatest achievement
is the Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is not
offered as cure for all diseases. 1t does
not preten to be, but one disease it will
cure, and that Is Indigestion.
Sufferers who resort to its use have not
long to wait to see the result. The effect
Is almost immediate. The first dose US
uslly gives relief and II continued h per-
manent cure will follow.
1t not only contains already digested
food, but II digests food as we'll, thus ton
ing up the general system. An inter-
esting pamphlet is now being issued by
the Shakers and can be had for the ask
ing at almost any drug store.
Try a 25-cent bottle of Digestive Cor.
dial and see what 1t will do for you.

THE PIONEER PIANO, ORGAN
AND MUSIC HOUSE OF TEXAS.
We believe we are justly entitled to
call ourselves the PIONEER PIANO,
ORGAN AND MUSIC HOUSE OF
TEXAS, having been established
THIRTY years, exclusively in that
line, always handling the leading
makes of pianos and organs and CIV
ing customers the very best possible
prices and terms. Never in that
time having demanded notes of pur-
chasers nor discounted their papers,
and always paying 100 cents on the
dollar.
We are, however, content with
saying that WE ARE STILL HERE
AND PREPARED TO STAY, treat
ing our patrons in the future as In
the past with every consideration,
and the public with our usual liberal
ity. We will continue to pursue the
same business methods as heretofore
and those desiring a piano or an or
gan on easy payments without being
compelled to give notes can only get
such accommodations from us.
Being always DESTROYS and ready
to give customers the benefit of any
bargains Obtainable, we have decid-
ed to offer during the summer, every
week., until all are disposed of,
some rare bargains in upright pianos.
We have some 60 pianos that have
been rented from 6 to IS months.
These we intend to close out on the
easiest terms and lowest prices.

chasers will not be required to give
NOTES in payment of same. Parties
contemplating purchasing ramos
SHOULD NOT GIVE NOTES. Fac
tory agents, commission agents, and
sub-commission agents only demand
them to be used as collateral.
We are agents today for the same
makes of pianos that we were 30
years ago, which is proof positive that
the pianos we handled then and now
have always given satisfaction.
We handle such pianos as the
Steinway, Chickering, Knabe and
Emerson, and these we have been
handling since 1866, or thirty years.
We handle beside several other
makes, and it is only at our ware
rooms that one can find choice sell
ection. We handle everything in the
music line, from a jewsharp to a pipe
organ, and we have the only Sheet
Music Stock in the city.
Polite music clerks who understand
their business and play over any music
for customers, always in attendance.
