What Is the use of making a better
article than your competitor il you can
not get better price for it?
Answer-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, so that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they win be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
III both articles are brought promi-
nently before the public both are GER
tain TO be tried, and the public will
very quickly pass judgment on them
and use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham.
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that It can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put
forth with exaggerated claims, but are
certain TO return to the one remedy
that they know TO be reliable; and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal TO Chamberlaih's Cough Rem.

ment gives but a faint notion OF the
play from beginning TO end. From
the first scene to the last everyone
present saw something to excite and

not space tolspeak OF each Of the actors
as they deserve, and can only briefly
refer to one or two. Miss Ewing, at
Juanita, acquitted herself in all heI
difficult roles, as she always does, to
the complete satisfaction OF everyone.
Miss Kate Berry, as Inez Colas, did
well and was greatly admired, as was
Miss Fellows. Mr.. Carroll, and Mr..

absolutely uuapproaehable Indeed
the whole company are deserving OF
unstinted praise, and are entitled to
special mention but we haven't the

PUTS TWO BULLETS INTO
JAMES BOWERS.
WOUNDED MAN CAN'T LIVE
The shooting Occurred in tho 'int saloon
and was the Ou'growth OF Former
Dlfcuity Between the Msn-rsn-
tScost Promptly Arrested
and Locked Up.

Last night near o'clock Joe Pente-
cost, an ex policeman, shot and proba-
bly, fatally wounded James b. Bowers
in Henry Ritterbuschs saloon on
DiAision street between Harrison and
Oklghcna avenues.
There are several conflicting stories
about the origin Of the trouble, as well
as the immediate circumstances at
tending the shooting, but after sitting
all these the facts are about as fol-
lowi: Jus. about supper time Bowers
and FRANK Ellis, the latt slightly
under the influence of intoxicants,
met in the Stock Exchange saloon on
the corner of Harrison avenue and
First street and engaged il game Of
cards. While thus engaged Joe PEN
tecost came ia and he end Bowers
demonstrations but friends separated
them before any blows were struck.
All the parties then left, and shortly
after met in Henry Ritterbusch's
Bowers entering after Pentecost.
Here, so 1t is said, Pentecost remarked
as Bowers came in, $50 you have fol
lowed me, have you9' and immediate.
ly pulled his gun and began firing al
Bowers, firing in all three shots, the
FIRST two striking his victim and the
third missing him and lodging in the
door, where it imbedded itself
The first shots entered the mans sid,
above the hip joint, passing through
! and around to the back, one OF then
lodging against the spinal column ant
producing, 1t is feared, paralysis Of the
! lower extremities. Drs. Cotteral anC
McKeeby attended the wounded maj
and pronounce his injuries serious ant
possibly fatal. Bowers was taken t
his brothers room over Frank Wyatt
where he now lies. Later Judge StranI
appeared and took his statement o
the affair.
, Joe Pehtecost was lodged in Jail
, where he now awaits the result OF hi
victims injuries. Pentecost, in
, statement after his arrest, said tha
he did the shooting in self defense ant
that when he fred the first shot Bow
ers was reaching for his hip pocket a
> II to draw a weapon. In Bowers
/, statement to Judge Strang he denie
this and says that he was shot withou
any cause whatever, and that he ha,
not made any hostile demonstration
at the time be was shot, or any threa
against Pentecost rs the whole mat

we will not refer to the several report
and statements of the affair which ar
floating around town, but wait until

real facts.

special cable to the New York Herald
from Madrid says: Senor Morets eloquently
simple speech at the last banquet on the
occasion OF the Grand Cross of Carlos III
being conferred on the governor of this
province may be taken as the reply of the
government to the American outbursts and
an exposition Of the attitude of Spain in the
whole matter. Among the most pregnant
expressions were these:
What is the great difficulty against
which we fight? Civil war and insurrection
In Cuba, to which there are several corol-
laries. The most prominent are the forces
at work to sustain it. We, 1 affirm, are en-
tirely confident that we can terminate the
resurrection, and that we are nearing a So
luton of the problem.
'It has been said that autonomy is a
failure This is false and mendacious. The
policy of the liberal government is giving
grand and evident results. AS a proof Of
1t, Cuba is being converted from a devas-
tated into productive country. Production
is being augmented, cultivation is extend
ing, property is increasing in value and
prosperity Is returning.
Contrary to the statements of those who
have an interest In perverting the truth, in
the oriental provinces our gallant troops
point with cries of Viva Espanav and NOR
al order has been restored since the birth
of the constitution, which is supported by
old irreconcilables.
with peace in Cuba will come the tri-
umph over all doubts, and 1T lies In the
hands of the Spanish people on the one
side, with the soldiers on the other. BY
patriotism I know the fatherland will not
lose an inch of territory. for believe that
success will crown my efforts, and should
