Do You Know About This Store?

A great many women think it pays
them to trade here. We would agree
with them to be sure. Miss YOder has
spent the past week in New York and
is now home with loads of millinery
novelties and the latest ideas in sum
mer trimming. This department is
getting better and bigger every day
Increased help and increased room,
but still we are crowded every day.
We deal only in fine goods and make
up only pretty hats but what pleases
the buyer is our prices are no higher
than they pay other places for cheap
goods, cheaply made by cheap help.
If you come here once for IL hat you
will not wait for us to ask you again.

Electric Bittters,

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
orally needed, when the languid ex'
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need OF
tonic and Alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness

How to Treat a Wife.
(ErnDn DnniHn HnnIfh Iournnl \

First get a wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home a
cloudy or contracted brow. Your wife
may have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her
brow all clouds of gloom.-To this we
would add always keep bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in the
house. Il is the best and is sure to be
needed sooner or later. Your wife
will then know that you really care
for her and wish to protect her health.

There was an unusually full meeting
Of the Senate District Conunittfe TINS
morning, and the doiiar-gas bill was dis
cusscd at length and postponed. This Is
taken to mean that no bill will be passed
at this session.
There were present Chairman Mcmillan,
and Messrs. Gallinger. Proctor, Prtchard,
Baker, wctmore, Harris, Faulkner, Glib
sou, Smith, Martin and Bacon.
The reason finally given for postponing
action at least till Friday was that several
of the members who have not served pre-
yiously on the committee have never
heard President wiDsnip of the George
town Gas Company on the proposition TO
reduce prices.
1t is understood that Mr.. Smith - vigor-
ously fighting the measure as involving .
principle to which he is opposed. There
is also other strong opposition. some OF 1t
coming from new and unexpected sources.
A revised statement Of the Washington
Gas Company for the past year was laid
before each member of the committee. 1t
shows, after paying $4,000 interest on
bonds, a dividend Of 0 per cent, amounting
to 500, ,OCO, and allowing S20O,OOO Tor
reduction of price, balance OF nearly S4o'-

consumers. S917 ,667; United States, S73,-
41s; District, SS,424. The disbursements
outside dividends, but including interest
on bonds, amounted TO S695,479. TIE
principal items are: Coal, .23l; oil,
23,3T4; Cumberland coal, 81
street lamps. S126. 80; wages. $156,193;
iistribution S53.744; office and general
expenses, 1906; taxes, SAT ,435; law,
S7.O57: repairs, S36,054.
There was considerable discussion of the
items. and it was urged in opposition to the
bill that no proper margin Of profit would
be left the companies after making repairs
and extensions If the reductions to 81
in washington and S1.25 in Georgeto WI
were made.
The friends OF the bill could not muster
ma ajority. and when the natural obstructi"us
| 10 all legislation toward the close OF the ses-
| sion are considered, il is unlikely the bin
| can be passed.
The opponents OF the racing bill also re-
ceived i black eye. The measure is now
! on the calendar, and. in spite OF the long
| hearing two days ago, not a voice was
| raised to recall the bill and recorsider 1t.
