CASH ARGUMENT.


That is the inducement we
are hanging out to secure your
cash trade. We couldn't begin
to sell goods at lower prices
than others if we sold on credit.
Cash buying and cash selling
is the only way to cut prices
down. We can publish our
prices to the world because
they are cash prices and every.
body gets them. We don't
have a different price for every
Tom, Dick and Harry, neither
do we watch what others are
charging and then cut under.
We charge as near a uniform
percentage as possible, hence
our many odd prices. 1t can
do you no harm to trade with
us and may possibly do you
some good. Come and see us.

the work. The bullets barely entered

Brother Zeglen says that the secret
OF his bullet-prOof cloth lies In the

BROKE DOWN THE GATES.
Scotch Sabbath Resisted by Party o
ExcursIOnIsts.

Greenock. July 1s.-A curious scene
occurred to-day at Cuneen, a water
ing place seven miles from this city.
Great excitement has prevailed there
for several weeks because the authOri-
ties Of the borough refused to allow
passengers to land there on Sunday.
To-day pleasure steamer arrived
and found the pier closed and a guard
Of police stationed at the gates. The
whole town turned out to watch the
proceedings, 1t having been an
nounced that landing would be eff
fected despite the prohibition of the
authorities. The passengers landed,
headed by a popular Scotch agitatOr
named Hunter, amid the cheers of the
pOpulace. Hunter demanded that the
gates be opened and compliance with
the demand being refused by the po-
lice. the passengers made rush and
ultimately smashed the gates and en-
tered the town. The police were rough
ly handled by the steamers passengers.
Thousands Of the populace danced
with delight over the conflict and ran
to Hunter to shake his hand, the peo-
pie of the town being in favor of the
admission of tourists on all days.

THE USE OF THE MeoApHoME.
It IL an Invaluabls Adjunct to Grew rrain-
ers and Othees.


The reports of tho rowing contests have
all contained reference to the megnphone,
through which the various coaches communi-
caetd with the crews. and accounts from the
training headquarters had similar references.
says the New York Tribune. The simple
instrument IL found to be so valuable as
means OF communication that 1t Ia now
looked upon as pagt Of the necessary para
phernalia in N rowing contest. The mega
phone is simply large cone. from thirty to
forty-cight Inches long. made of waterproof
fber or light metal. The voice of . person
speaking into the small end is carried easily
q distance Of a mile, while loud call, when
neither wind nor distinctions interfere, may
be heard on the water, in open country or
along the shore distance of two miles.
The instrument is often used as receiver
also. The small end Is placed at the ear,
and sound from distance which would
otherwise be inaudible, can be heard dis
tinctiy. The Instrument is usually held In
the hands Of the person who uses II. like
speaking trumpet. but 1t is constructed 30
that 1t can be liked to a tripod or a swivel;
and the person using 1t may remain seated
and direct 1t to any point. BY means of the
meInphone the audiences at nearly all open
air athletic meetings are informed as to the
winners. and at those places. as well as In
the rowing world, 1t has become an lnval-

Topeka, Kas.. July 16.-Reports from
