Two Pointed Questions Answered.

i"V AVineeu yueseIVhs hhsWeItu'
What is the use Of making a better
article than your competitor if you
Can not get better price for IT,:
Ans.-As there is no difference 10
the price the public will buy only the
better, 50 that while our profits may
be smaller on single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
Ii both articles are brOughtIrom-
inently before the public both are
certain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on
them and Use only the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain'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,

1cBride Arrested.


The Winfield Courier Saturday con-
tains lengthy account Of the grrest
and conviction of Judge W. T. Me-.
Bride, on the charge of winning the
affections of the jurymen at the
December term of the Cowley county
court.
As the judge was leaving his desk
Friday night he was approached by
Sheriff Daniels, who accosted him
with:
"YOu are my prisoner"
With look of establishment Judge
Mcbride demanded by what authority
the sheriff arrested him.
"By the authority Of the Kangaroo
Court OF COwley County, Kansas"
proudly replied the sheriff as be read
complaint,
The Judge wilted and was immed-
lately arraigned before Judge Stahl.
He plead not guilty. The state was
represented by Juror G. NJ. Jones of
Burden. and the defendant was repre-.
Sented by Juror P. L. Snyder of
Arkansas City. A jury was empaneled
and sworn and Mcbride was found
guilty. He was ordered to stand up
and state any reason why sentence
should not be passed upon him. The
prisoner could give no reason and then
the court read him the riot act in
great shape. The prisoner was told
that he probably deserved hanging,
and that lifeimprisOnment was mild
punishment but on account Of his
tender years and inexperience and his
family relations, as this was lis first
OffenSe he would refer the matter OF
punishment to special committee
who would meet the prisoner later at
some place they might designate and
there administer such punishment as
they thought best. After a hasty
consultation it was decided to meet at
Woods cafe at 1880 o'clock, in the
meantime the prisoner to remain in
charge Of the sheriff.
1t was most laughable farce, well
planned and carried out to perfection.
The jurors, the lawyers and news
paper men met at the court house
again at 1870 and from there marched
to Woods cafe where sentence was
to be passed on Judge Mcbride and
punishment administered.
The cafe was brilliantly lighted and
handsomely decorated. Ateach plate
was a souvenir consisting of sprigs of
holly and mistletoe. The spread was
all that could be desired. Oysters,
celery, sandwiches, coffee and other
good things received due attention,
after which cigars were passed around
and speechmaking commenced.
Judge W. T. Mcbride was called
upon to toast "The Jury" He eulo-
glzed the jury system. twelve good
and honest men," he said, "are more
capable to decide on the facts in a case
than any one judge, no matter how
learned he may be-" He then got
even with that bald-headed Populist
from Burden" Mr.. Jones, who SO
vigorously prosecuted him in the
afternoon for retaining the affections
Of the jurors.
