This week we desire to call
attention to the merits of the
well-known Alaska Refrigera-
tors, which are guaranteed to
be all that is implied in the
name. Below are a few of the
principal features:
I. The Alaska is construct
ed upon strictly scientific
principles, by which low tenn
perature and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hottest
weather.
3. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice than
any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber free
from odor.
5. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch and
a half space filled with pure
charcoal, and experience ex-
tending over three and a half
years has convinced us that
the Alaska is, without doubt,
the bestrefrigerator on the mar
ket, in construction, in power
to preserve perishable goods,
in economy OF ice, and in fact
in all points necessary to make
them first-class in every re-
spect.
We have them in several
sizes at from $iS to S25, and
also keep the Alaska ice chests.

JUDGE DAYS MISSION.

Washington, April 0.-Judge w. r..
Day, of Canton, who has been charged by
the President with mission to Cuba,
will be in Washington tomorrow, when
be will receive his final instructions,
From administration authority it can be
stated that the scope of Judge Days mis-
sion has been much exaggerated. He has
been selected as lawyer to specifically
investigate the death of Ruiz and is not
commissioned to handle the Cuban. Span
ish situation. generally. The President
did not ask him to do this, and he does
not expect to attempt it. He will, how.
ever, report to thePresident all that comes
to his knowledge incidental to the in
yestigation he will make.

UNDISPUTED FACTS.

People in these days and times do not
do business for fun. Take the every day
course of life which will prove this. You
cannot buy gold dollars for 90 cents,
neither one poor old silver dollar. So it
is with everything you have to buy. The
piano business is no exception. There
are good pianos and there are cbeap ones:
the only thing in buying is knowing how
to buy. 1st. We would suggest look
carefully at all pianos and examine them
closely in all details, when we venture
to say you will be enlightened in the
piano business Our stock is open for
inspection and we carry all grades of
pianos, and assure you we will take pleas.
ure in showing you every point about any
piano we have in our large and varied
stock. A closeipspection of our stock is
what we invite. We guarantee prices,
terms, ETC.. on any piano to be as low ms
can be bought of anyone of the same
grade of goods. Very respectfully,

many scantly clad. The widest confu.
sion reigned. The town was in total dark
ness, and not until an investigation was
made was it known that the. National
Bank had been entered and robbed. The
people rushed to the scene, aud the prent-
est turmoil prevailed. The front door
was swinging wide open and the room
filled with smoke. The furniture was
totally wrecked and scattered about the
room. After the burglars had entered the
building they drilled II hole in the door of
the huge vault which they filed with n
powerful explosive, probably dynam lite,
and then fired it.
Inc explosion was terrific. tearing off
the door of the vault, springing and
cracking the walls OF the building and
completely demolishing the room fixtures.
A close Investigation by the bank officials
showed thata very small sum, amount
ing to about S30S had been taken. This
Is probably due to the fact that the bur
glars used n heavier charge OF explosive
than they intended, and decamped with
out taking time to remove more of the
money. The vault contained nearly SlO.-

ed, as the whole interior of the vault was
exposed when the officials entered the
bank immediately after the explosion.
a posse WAS Mt once organized and a
careful search made through the sur
rounding country, but no trace of the
roobers could be found. The bank build.
