CASH GROCERY.

ChSh GkUCtkI,
We want to thank the people OF
Butler and Bates county for the
large trade they are giving us. We
also want to thank them for waiting
80 patiently until we can wait on
them, all this we appreciate, and
there is no one that strives harder TO
please the people and make the low
est prices possible than we do. We
are now arranging our store to make
it more handy and more room, so
we can accommodate our trade in
better shape. The people know that
We make the prices, and that some
others follow on few things, be:
cause they have to, and we will con.
tinue to make the prices as long as
the people stay by US, as they have
in the past. While our trade is
double now what it ever has been,
80 are we selling on half the profit.
We do not make prices one day and
change them the next day, as some
do. Another thing the people have
learned, that you buy goods as cheap
from US when you bring Us your
produce as though you brought the
cash, which you know some don't
do.
We have more goods in our line to
select from than anv two stores in
Butler, and We are daily adding diff.
ferent lines to our stock; and do you
notice when we add something new
to our stock, how quickly the price
drops. You could not buy the shoe.
makers stand and three lasts for less
than 75c; we bought them and put
the price 35c. Same way with our
axes, barb wire, chicken netting and
hundreds of other things which we
have lately added to our stock. We
are still selling everything at same
price we advertised them last time,
except few things which we have
cut still lower.
Don't forget that We carry almost
full line of hardware, barb wire,
chicken netting, nails, staple, axes,
hatchets, hammers. bolts, hinges,
saw file, door locks, screws, monkey
wrenches, braces, hasps and staples,
butts, stay chains. spring bolts, pad
locks, auger bits, snaps, punches,
hame staple, pinches, hog rings and
ringers, copper rivets, single and
double trees, thumb latches, strap
hinges, hoes, rakes, forks, potato
forks, cast mauls, scoops, spades.
shovels, buck saws, screen doors,
screen wire, in fact, five hundred ar
ticle in the hardware line, and we
promise you now we will make you
the lowest prices you ever heard of
in the hardware line. Just come in
and price them. We keep only the
best goods, everything warranted to
be as represented at our store, and
you know what our warrant means,
Will make special prices this week
on flour in 500 or 1000 pound lots.
We also have fine assortment of
Mays Northern grown garden seed
N bulk, the cleanest and brightest
seed we ever saw, We would not be
afraid to warrant every seed to
grow. We also have about 2 cars of
Northern seed potytoes, Red River
stock from Minnesota, the finest DO.
tatoes for this climate that could be
planted here, and will make the low.
est possible price on them. We
make prices on your produce so high
that no legitimate firm can bid over

Whatever my sisters may decide upon
for their winter toilets. my earnest ad-
vice to them is to put all their heart and
soul and throw all their weight upon
their collars for the collar is to lie the
salient point OF the seasons style. A
clever and chic little woman. not over
blessed with the goods of this world,
and who. therefore. is obliged to exc out
her dollars with her taste, said to me
that che formed her conclusions as to
the success or failure OF her toilets by

was lacking, and upon her return home

edied the error. For the present season
the height and effectiveness of the collar
will, more than any other point. decide
the fate OF the costume.
Influenced by number OF causes the
winter gsyeties are this year likely to be
late. but the outlook is becoming every
day more encouraging. Evening gowns
are to be. il possible. more gorgeous than
ever. more brilliant in combinations and

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
Grow Talks Against Time-Richard-
son Also Makes Long Speech.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Another appropri-
alton bill was taken up in the House to-
day, but little progress was made. The
measure was that carrying appropriations
TO supply deficiencies for the current fis-
cal yean and prior years. 1t encoun-
tered its first snag when Mr. Grow. rep,
of Pennsylvania, insisted that he had a
right to speak as long as he wanted to
on it. This proposition was discussed for
some time, and resulted i'm a victory for
the venerable Pennsylvania member, who
devoted some extended remarks, not to
the appropriation bill but to the Okla
hOma free homestead measure.
Then a long discussion was started by
Mr.. Richardson, dem, OF tennessee, over
an item to pay special attorneys for de-
Tending suits against the United states.
Mr.. Richardson wanted to know the use
of paying attorneys to defend such cases
when the judgments given against the
United States, particularly in claims IN
der the Bowman act, were never paid.
Many members spoke with regard 70 the
proprety of paying the Bowman claims,
bur when the afternoon was nearly over
the discussion was dropped. The bill was
not finished at 3 O'Clock, when the House
took recess for three hours.
Mr.. Sayres, dem. of Texas, gave notice
that he would offer amendments to the
deficiency appropriations in behalf of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Two hours were frittered away by the
House tonight over the private calendar.
Friday evenings, under the rules are de-
voted exclusively to the considera ton of
private pension and relief bills. When the
House met a 8 o'clock, Mr.. Talbert, dem.
of South Carolina, wanted to call up
measure granting a pension to the widow
of Gen. Rice of Iowa, but his motion was
ruled out by the chair CMr. Sherman, rep.
of New York; on the ground that it could
be made only in committee of the whole.
Then filibustering began. Roll calls on
points of no quorum and motions to adj
journ followed each other.
Just before 10 o'clock. the committee or
invalid pensions decided to give up the
attempt to do business and the House at
