NOTICE!
important Change.

On April 1st we will turn over
new leaf and make an important
change in the manner of conducting
our business.
Commencing on and after April
1st, all goods will be sold for CASH
ONLY.
We have for some time past care
fully considered this plan. We have
weighed the advantages; also the
disadvantages, and we believe it is
step in the right direction and in
harmony with modern merchandise
ing and low, popular prices.
1t will benefit both the buyer and
seller.
1t will enable us to make very
low prices.
We expect to sell 50 cheap that
parties will have no reason to send
out of town for any goods we carry.
The spot cash, low price system of
doing business is fast supplanting
the old long time high priced system
and we are anxious to test the matter
and demonstrate whether the buying
public will support first-class cash
store.
The 1st of April We Adopt a
Strictly Cash System.
For the present we quote few
special, spot each prices:
Package coffee. ..20c worth 25c
Five lbs. lard -. .55c g 65c
Ten z" -. .a.$100 "$1.25
!. Twenty lbs. lard ). LOO &c $50

one long to decide whether fruit or veg etabaes are being prepared, for in dhe latter case a pungent odor rus(hes out to sting one's eyes and crawl uncomfort- ably up one's nolhrils-for the trail of onions is over the land. Within a lively scene is presented MIen are hurrying to and fro bearing rrays and boxes, while long rows of women and children sit busily peeling potatoes and carrots, which, together with lthe onions, form alt present the staple product. When boxes of potatoes and carrots are filled they are poured into large hopper, and from There fed to a machine with rotating knife blades, which cuts them up into small slices a quarter of an inch thick. The further process which the potaioes undergo is simple, and for carrots and other minor vegetables 1t is practically the same.
 After being sliced the tubers are slightly sulphured in a chamber built of wood. Here great discrimination must be used, for if they are sulphured too much the potatoes will taste of the fumes; if too little they will not con- tain enough antiseptic property. and bacteria attracted by the starch will develop. Moreover, a little sulphurlng is necessary to preserve the color of the vegetables as far as possible and to pre- vent decay.
 
 not spread out in the sun, but put into an evaporator. The latter looks like a small Ferris wheel and is inclosed in a sort of brick oven with glass windows. Within this 1t revolves close to the hot air pipes for few hours. When the moisture is sufficiently evaporated the cars of the wheel are emptied through the windows, and their contents are ready for shipment in sacks.
 When this stage is reached the sliced potatoes resemble dry chips, and fit takes six or seven pounds of the fresh to make one pound of the dried.
 By their pungeincy onions possess the power of Warding off bacteria, and are riherefore only slightly sulphured to pre- serve thdr color. They are next evap- orated until one-third of the moisture is expelled, and then placed in trays in the sun, just as is done with fruf. The drying process shrivels the onions so much that it takes twenty parts of ths fresh to make one of ,he dried. While alhe onions are being cut up the moisture coming from them is very sagresable and hard on the eyes of the employees.
 When carrots are evapolsated it takes aIboupr nine parts of them to make one dried part. Perhaps luhe drying process usef in the case of both carrots and potetoes might be improved upon were steam employed. By using the Ia Ter ltne starch in the potatoes would be partly cooked and sterih zed, and after thhs the ,tubers could be evaporated in a cham ber similar to the ours above described. In this way the potatoes could be rid of sulphur, we'll dried, and yet capable of being quickly soaked, and there would be no chance for bacteria to develop.
 Other vegetables than these mentioned are at present in process of development; ; but so far ithe industry has proved very profitable, as evincad by the increased demand for dried vegetables all over the country, but especially in the mining re- giOnS.

ASSUMES ANOTHER PHASE
 s7 MandamuS Proceedings Against Board of Education. 4 THE LAW IS TO BE TESTSD Perkins Claims That His Son Was Sent Home Purely for the Non-Payment of Tul-
 ton-The Other Side.

The school question has assumed an- other phase. It is probable that man. damus proceedings will be instituted against the board of educatio on Mon- day to test it's right to charge tuition. John R. Perkins. father of Robert Per kins, the boy who was sent home from the Paul Hayne school on Friday mctrn- ing, wiM institute the proceedings. It is also said he will be assisted by the Regents of the White Shield. a#a
 If the case is instituted it win result in the settlement of the school question as far as the right of the board is con- cerned to charge tuition fee, as author dzed by an act of the last legislature, and which it is claimed Is unconstitu- tional
 Mr. Perkins was seen by a reporter yesterday and in reference to the ques- tion said:
 q have always co-operated With the school board by paying the tuition fee and feel that have been grossly wrong ed. As I stated yesterday I sent word by my son that would pay at the end of the month.

statement from me saying when it wou be paid, and that it must not be later than the Fist of the month. Again I sent word that could not pay until the end of the month. Yesterday Robsrt delivered the message and was told by Miss Stafford to go home and get the money or written explanation
 "He protested, saying that he would not see me before night.
 Miss Stafford insisted on his going saying at the time that the board of education required payment in advance and not to return without 1t or an ex- pGanaltion. As had already sent several verbal explanations that would pay at the end of the month, as I did last term, what was the necessity of sending Robert home, a mile and half, if it was not for the nori-payment of the tuition fee? Is this not a case of dis tinction without a difference?
 Alex Ploeger was sent home at the same time on a similar mission, and obtained a1is fee, returned anI was al- lowed to remain. Mir. Dougherty's son had only. attended school seven days,
 
 son. MT Dougherty had made the same proposition to pay monthly, but was dunned every day, as I was.
 Mark Manley was treated likewise He wrote note to the teacher that he could not pay intil the 18th and received a reply that they would wait until the 9th and no longer I am always willing to bear my part of the burdens of life, and have made no kick against paying tuition fees, having paid 1t freely last year. but as it was not convenient to pay in advance I requested an extension until the end of the month.
 "The teachers are not paid in ad- vance and private schools do net de- mand payment in advance. What is the necessity to require payment in advance in a free school. It Is time, I think, to drop scholar when they are month behind.
 This is not the first instance in my experience with the Paul Hayne school when disreputable thumb screw methods have been resorted to by this so- called free school system to extort payment in advance. Last time I was charged $1 per month for Robert, which I paid at the end of each month until the last liOlli, WHen my SOH came nome saying his teacher (Mr. Smith I think was h 8 name), required payment in advance, and unless it was done, although his ex- animation showed thab he had earned and was entitled to promotion. that un- less the money was forthcoming by the time he made up his reports that he could not be promoted, nor enter school the next term if any part of the tuition fee remained unpaid.
 "If the school authorities and the sev- eral members of the board of education referred to in. yesterday mornings pa- per who are so sure that no children are being excluded from the schools for non-payment of tuition fees will caM on me at Dr. Moseley's office I will give them further facts to substantiate these charges.

Some of the physicians did mot feel that the facts justified the opin- lion that 'uhe cases are yellow fever.''
 Dr. Guiteras would not give out hfs report Saturday night, but through pr. West it was learned lthals pr. Guiteras thought the disease would not be wide spread or of virule1ft character.
 Dr. w. e. Trueheart. who has been Through several yellow fever epidenics, says: q have examined two of the cases which Dr. Gul;eras considered Suspi- cious, and I saw not the slightest trace of yellow fever. I have found no syunp- toms of yellow fever In my practice, and do not believe 1t exists in Galveston today"
 There is every indication that if the disease is yellow fever it is of a very mild type, and will be attended with Iit- hle or no mortality.
