'Chief, says: We won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
got the true remedy until We used DR..
Kings New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as in it
We have a certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc. -
1t is idle to experiment with 9th T
remedies, even if they are urged on you
as just as good rs DR.. Kings New Dis

this remedy has a record of cures and
besides is guaranteed. 1t never fails TO

Although the Columbia Stock announced
its season to close last Saturday night,
there were so many requests, and of so
evidently genuine character, to repeat Paul

cided the risk the adverse criticism usually
engendered by prolongation of farewells
and acceded to the request.
The audience present last night win rank
as one Of the largest of the season. So
cicty, or what is left of it in town,
seemed to be there, too, filling all the
boxes and dressing the orchestra in unusual
bri!liancy. They all laughed and applauded
as If "Nobe' had been repeated at each
ones particular request.

THE CYCLERs
Mr.. and Mrs. Keefer Held Up
in judiciary Square.
WITHOUT ANY PROPAGATION
Set Upon by Two Men and viciously
Pounded-Because the Victims
Rode Wheels the Only Motive
Kuown-The Lake Brothers Ar
rested for the Brutal Assault.

Judiciary Square was last night tile
scene OF most vicious and cowardiy as
sault upon the wife of Mr. Frederick B.
kecfer a well known patent attorney,
whose office is at No. 5O1 f street, and
who resides at the Harrison, No. 704
Third street northwest. Mr keefer him
self was also badly beaten by his wife's
essailants while attempting to defend her.
The assault was without the slightest
cause or pruyocation. Mrs Keefer is
pretty young woman and rides a bicycle
Last night about $50 O'Clock, accom-
panied by her husband. she was wheeling
slowly through the park in the vicinity
OF the Pension Office. Mrs, Keefer was
a few feet In advance of her husband. and
when nearing the Fifth street side OF the
park she met two men who had entered
the square from street. and though the
drive IL amply wide, she quietly turned
out for them.
As the lady was about to ride past
them, one of the men remarked In
contemptuous and envious manner, ''see
them bicyciers'' With this
the other man as If to emphasize the
remark drew his umbrella and struck Mrs
Kecfer several times severely on the back,
and inflicting many painful bruises.
Mrs Keefer cried aloud with fright
and pain, and in the meantime her hus-
band had ridden up to her rescue. As
Mr. Keefcr dismounted from his wheel
one of the men approached him anasaid:
''What have you got to say about it,"
and with yolley of vile oaths he rained
blow after bow upon Mr. Keefer's
head with the handle of his umbrella.
BY this time Mrs. Keefer's assailaut had
desisted from lbs attack upon her and
turned his attention also to Mr. Keefer,
W no was doing his best to protect him
self, Finally he managed TO break away
from his assailants and started in search
OF a policeman. As he did so the men
fastened through the park, while Mrs.
Keefer bravely started after them so that
they should not get away. Park Police
man Tom. O'Neal was in the vicinity and
came to the rescue, and hurying after
the waymen captured and placed them
under arrest.
Policemen McNamee and dTurnerresponded
in answer 20 the cries for help and the
prisoners were turned over to them, and
the story OF the assault was related TO
DetcctiE es Horne and weedon. Both men
were well dressed aud of good appearance
1T first they told the detectives that they
were only causual acquaintances, having
met about an hour before for the first
time. but finally admitted after close
questioning that they were brothers.
