An IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION.
Report Received From the Minister OF
Costa Rica States That the
Boundary Question May
Soon BE Settled.

Washington, July 13-1nformation
received by Senior Calvo, the minister
Of Costa Rica at this capital, reports
that everything is quiet in his country
and also indicates the probable early
determination Of the boundary question
between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
The minister's telegram Is as follows:
The boundary commission is now
preparing the argument and the trans
lation of the same into English to be
submitted to the engineer appointed by
the president Of the United states. The
decree of free imports does not injure
Nicaragua in any way All Is quiet
The question of the accurate dellmi-
tation of the boundary line between the
two countries has been one of long
standing. and 1t was finally agreed to
submit the mooted points 20 a civil
engineer appointed by the president Of
the United States.
This engineer was appointed by Pres
Ident Cleveland some time before his
term expired, and the former has been
FOR several months engaged with the
commission that is working on the
matter.
Very recently Costa Rica issued a de-
cree permitting admission free Of duty
imports into her territory bordering on
the San Juan and Colorado rivers and
including a part Of the harbor Of Grey
town.
Dispatches from Managua. Nicara-
qua, received at the time indicated
that the latter country was displeased
with this action of Costa Rica, and the
possibilities of war on that account
were discussed.
The suggestion of trouble, however.
was discredited by Minister Calvo at
the time, and the telegram just recelv-
ed, showing that the decree does not
injure Nicaragua in any way. is grati-
flying to him in the highest degree.

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
go long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's a poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
affiuent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in a few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda Of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and so carefully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-

cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue
