A Word About Cheap Goods.

We keep them in some lines Our
only excuse for keeping them is that some
people cannot be persuaded that high
grade goods is the cheapest in the long
run; for instance, we have razors as low
as fifty cents, but no one would care to
take the chance of getting good one at
that price when we have others that are
fully warranted and can be returned if
not satisfactory. 1t may not be generally
known but there is hardly an article that
we sell that is not made in three or more
grades and they all look alike. How are
you going to tell then what you are get
ting? The only way is to deal where
everything that is guaranteed can be re-
turned if unsatisfactory and your money
refunded, and that place is

New YORK, April Elm an inter-

in reply to ex-President Cleveland's
criticism at the Reform Club dinner
Saturday night, that the Republican
party won the late election on its dec

not on the tariff issue, said
1.-The fact is, the Republican party
won on both issues. Nothing could be
clearer than that the pledges of the
party made it its first duty to provide
sufficient revenue to carry on the gov.
eminent without borrowing in time of
peace.
There is undoubtedly need, at the
earliest possible date, Of some legisla-
ton to improve our currency system,
but no one knows better than the gen.

lican party that if such legislation
should be undertaken in the present
condition of the senate, no favorable
results could be obtained"

THE END.

Opinion in London That the Greco-Turk-

LONDON. April 27.-What seems like
~ to be the last week of the war has
been entered upon. 1t is difficult from
the tangle of conflicting kilograms to
understand the exac position of affairs.
Following the Greek defeat at Lar
issa, London opinion is almost unani-
nous that the end is in sight, and this
view is probably shared by the powers,
as they are already moving to inter-

1t is believed that Intervention will
first take the form of a suggestion of
armistice, to which the combatants
would no doubt agree. For "a hours
the British foreign office has been in
close communication with the other
members of the European concert,
Great Britain suggesting that the time
has now arrived for them to act. The
French, German and Italian govern
ments have already responded, offering
to agree, though the German govern.
ment adds as a condition that it will
be necessary to enact a pledge from
Greece to obey the mandate of Europe
when this mandate is again given.
The British foreign office believes
that Greece will give this pledge, as
the disasters which have overtaken her
have demonstrated that Turkey still
possesses a formidable fighting ma

ing effect upon the popular demand for

fits III and out Of the long line Of cars,
telling the brakemen what to take and
what to leave. She goes from end Of
the train to the other, s"eing that no mis-

wastes no time on empty words. The

MYSTERY CLEARED UP.

Murder of the Spicer Family at Winona,

BISMARCK, N. D., April 27.-The q
thorities of Emmons county, where the
six members of the Spicer family were
murdered in a mysterious and brutal
ann last February, are now on the
way to a complete ~unraveling of the
mystery. Not long ago one of two
halfbreed Indians, who are under ar
rest charged with the crime, made a
partial confession accusing his COM.
panion of having instigated and car.
ried out the crime. This confession
has been supplemented by the con-
fession of two Indian boys who
We're suspected Of knowledge of the
crime. They state that they
happened at the Spicer place
the day the murder was committed,
and found the two halfbreeds there.
The members Of the family were MUIR
dered and the boys were induced to
keep silent through fear of being sus-
pected Of having been concerned in the
matter. A division of the property
stolen from the place was made, and
one of the boys secured a peculiar gold
ring, which finally led to the detection
of their knowledge of the crime. All
four persons concerned are closely con-
fined and will have a hearing May s.

nize the real trouble are induced to leopard.

Some of these advertised preparations are

no knowledge of the delicate organism Of

woma suffering from these delicate all

stead to an experienced, skilled specialist.
The services of such a specialist are at the

said, are that the sultan shall renOunce
Crete, that the car shall be given a

The advantage of this arrangement

Russia, in command Of one of the

greatly strengthened in the line of her

Turkey, with the formidable power

can rule her troublesome subjects with
