-AfC "A r. ID.
TO the patrons of the
BURN HAM ice co.

During the last month we have had in
our employ man, who has SO foully fall
sified and misrepresented us to the old
and new friends of this company, and the
writer being a comparative stranger in
this his native city (having been absent
nearly 90 years), feels it his duty to adj
wise our patrons that the same liberality
and generous spirit SO persistently main
tanned by the late r. R. Burnham will
be continued by the present company
This man while in our employ and under
our pay, solicited business for rival
company. Had he done so with truthful
ness and not misrepresented US we would
not notice. Friends of ours whom he ap-
preached in this manner, kindly notified
us, and he is now no longer in our en-
ploy.

end of the hall is taken up with the
splendid display of the Wiley Calhoun
Company, whose furnaces and sectional
boilers will attract marked attention
No one after seeing these boilers has nc
excuse for an ill-ventilated or cold house.
! Coming down the centre of the hall
from the Wiley Calhoun exhibit we first
encounter the Passion Play, exhibited by

play is displayed in series of "a
tableaux, beautifully colored and bring
ing out in fine effect the rich costumes
of the period. Next comes a little booth
devoted to Standard dress patterns for

eight pieces in all. Back of this sign is
wheel made of four mirror glass rehec-

A Terrible Experience Among BLOOD
Thirsty nnd MerciIeHs Natives.
During the recent Mashona uprising
IL was reported in England that w. +.
Brand, young prospector, had been MUIR
dered by the natives. He afterward ca
bled from Fort Salisbury that he was
safe. In letter TO his parents, who lived
at the Instow, in North Devon, he mar
rates his experiences. Among other
things he writes:
Groves and myself started from 10
Magundi on June 10, two days before
the war broke out, with seven boys
two Mashonas and five Zcmbezis. met
two policemen on the road. 40 miles
from town; next morning both were
murdered. / reached the store on the
18th and met Groves there. We left the
store next morning and started for
Angwe, 30 miles off. AS we passed
along we thought there was something
suspicious, as the niggers all had guns
and were hiding in the long grass. l
went up to n lraal and asked for my
things which / had left there five
months ago, but they refused 10 give
them up. so / cleared.
I'VE finished our work at Angwe and
came back. When we got TO the store
we saw four men who had been brutally
murdered, evidently by battle axes.
They were lying on their stomachs.
and had been dragged out OF the store
into the veldt. They were blown out
90 n tremendous size. and when we
turned them over their faces were eaten
away We walked 20 Jameson's camp
TO see IL we could find any more bodies.
"Then we walked on TO Ayres farm,

Mashonas for safety. and lucky for me
that did. We arrived at Ayres at seven
a. m. where we thought we were going

nothing TO ent for two DAYS. rushed
up 20 the huts like mad. and just as
reached the first the brutes jumped up
oil round us, with battle axes and knob
kerrics. and yelled. They fired about
20 shots at us before we cleared. All
The boys were shot. and then they
chased MS. One gave me blow on the
back with n battle ax. but cut only
through my coat. We shot six and ran
across \ place like the Burrows. bullets

bullet went through my hat, which was
