It Is Mystery To All
 How we can sell goods so cheap. But the secret of 1t is we sell for spot cash We do not give credit to any one, the prices we make are for goods at our store. There is a risk in trusting out goods. There is an expense in delivering goods. Does 1t not stand to reason that we can sell cheaper than others

The tragic end of the dastardly an
srchist who attempted the life OF Pres
ident Diaz, and his sudden taking of
by means all too common in the
United States but quite unusual 10 Mex
leo, was q case of swift and retributive
Justice. He sought to strike down the
great head of the Mexican republic
with the assassin's dagger, and he got
the dagger from the people in return.
The anarchist defies and despises al
law and all forms of government, and
he should not be allowed the protec.
ton or benefit of any. Before courts,
aud even on the scaffo'd, this class of
assassins invariably pose as martyrs,
and some of them las in Chicago) die in
an ecstacy of hope of being regarded as
heroes. But when the heavy hand of
an outraged people reaches out for
them the romantic vanishes and they
tremble like the towards that they are,
while at the same time their disciples
are awed into reason and decency
Had the people of Chicago seized the
Newmarket bomb-thrOwers and strung
them up to the nearest lamp posts their
followers would not now be generally
and publicly lsudirg the dastards as
heroes and martyrs.

AT the last session of the English
parliament law WAS passed forbidding
the Importation into that country OF
any class of prison or convict made
goods, except such goods be made in a
penal institution of q member of the
United Kingdom. California wheat
shippers fear this law will interfere
with their expectation of grain, as
nearly all the wheat grown in that
state is sacked in jute bags made in the
state prison.

the other day while at breakfast
through poisoned sugar, strychnine
having been placed in the sugar by a
negro.girl of 13, who was brought here
two months ago from Dallas by Mrs.
H. w. Reynolds. The poison was
detected through the bitterness of tea
sweetened with the poisoned sugar.
The sugar bowl had just been refilled
by Mrs. = Bennett, thus covering the
strychnine more than an inch so that
the first few spoonsful taken from the
bowl contained very little of the poison.
DR.. Hines was called and administered
proper antidotes. None of the family
suffered any serious Inconvenience
from the poison. The girl produced
the bottle that had contained the
poison. She is now in Jail awaiting an
examining trial.
