PRINCESS COFFEE.

EOR several months past we have heard
IL numerous complaints as to the quail
ity of the Roasted Coffee we were selling
the most popular band on the market
and we knew the complaint was reasona-
BILE; but we were helpless, as we did not
know of anything better at the same
price. 4 few days ago we received case
of Middleton's Princess Cotf, e, and we
do recommend it as being far superior to
any roasted coffee offered on this market.
1t is worth Is cents q package, or two for
25 cents, and with each package goes a
tablespoon, teaspoon or fork, and the
roasters offer valuable premiums for a
given number of heads sent direct to
them. The next time you want coffee,
suppose you try package OF Princess.
EDAM CHEESE
Is said to be the finest made. At the So
LECTION of customers we ordered case. 1t
has arrived. The cheese is worth Sl.U
each, and those who know the cheese will
come and get it, and those who do not are
urged to try it.
FRESH SUPPLY OF BUCHWHEAT
We have in stock fresh supply of
Austin, Nichols 4 Co.'S. prepared Buck
wheat and offer five pound package 1or
25 cents.
BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO.
We have ordered an up-to-date Mon
arch Tandem. 1t is the finest, lightest
running tandem made. 1t will be a COM
bination tandem, and will be hired to
those who desire a novel and delightful
ride. GRIST COUSINS.

EADS to prosperity. You can do no
II more sensible thing than to PAINT
YOUR house. 1t will prevent decay and
waste while you are directing your efforts
in accumulating other property. 1t is
useless to gather snow and leave it ex-
posed to the sunshine. The deterioration
in am unpainted house is very great, and
those who would protect their property
from the ravages of the elements, must
PAINT 1T. In the selection of your
paint, would advise the use of NJ MASU-
RVS RAILROAD PAINT. 1t is not
only the best but it is the cheapest.
1T WON'T SCALE.
1T WON'T CRACK!
1T WON'T PEEL OFF.
There are thousands of paints that are
inferior to MASURY'S but not one SUI
perior. When you paint your buildings,
use the best. 1 have had years of expert

Next year, 1899, James Nick's Sons will
celebrate the fftieth Anniversary of the
establishment oftheir flOwera and seed cat
aiOgue. James Wick was the first ma in
America to publish an illustrated seed
catalogue. That first catalogue would
doubtless present a remarkable contrast
compared with the beautiful book of 120
pages presented to their patrons this
year. The present firm propose to pre-
sent to all their patrons of 1893 a hand
some souvenir of their anniversary at the
opening of the year 1899. They offer
many bargains this season. \oticeahlc
is that of the Rambler roses.
Last season one of these plants sold for
fifty cents, but this year James Nick's
Sons of Rochester, y. Y. offer one each
of the white, yellow and crimson Ramb-
lers for only forty cents. Weeks Garden

NEWS OF VICTORY
RumOr of an American Success
Reaches Hayti.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press)
Cape Haytien, Hayti, May 2S.-A ru-
NOR has reached here of an important
American success, but no confirmation
of the report can be obtained here.
Since the rumored arrival of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba, no
news has reached here. though the ca
BILE between this place and Santiago de
Cuba is not interrupted.
The significance of this mysterious
silence is not known, but excites great
wonder. No explanation is furnished
excepting surmise based on various in
f1uences.
The theory that the Spanish admiral
allowed himself to be bottled up in the
bay of Santiago de Cuba, is not enter
tained here. On the contrary the Hay
tien officials say it is far from likely
that such a thing has occurred.
It is hoped that a message from Com
modore Schley will soon be received at
the Mole St. Nicolas, or elsewhere.

The Governor Wants Mr.. Simp-

Congressman Jerry Simpson will not
go to war on the motion of Governor
Leedy. His patriotism and aspirations
to be colonel of a Kansas regiment re-
ceived a set back today on the receipt
of the following telegram sent him at
noon by the Kansas executive:
Hon. Jerry Simpson, Washington,
D. c.
Il have the honor to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your patriotic tender of service
to the nation in the present conflict
with Spain While I appreciate the
high motives of patriotism which
prompt the personal tender of service
in the cause of our common country 1
am inclined to believe in common with
other citizens of the state of Kansas,
and especially with the citizens Of the
Seventh district, that we would prefe-
that you should remain in your present
position during the present crisis in the
affairs of our country. Yours very re-
spectfuuy. JOHN w. LEEDY."

one torpedo boat and the converted

Everything bore the appearance of
unsteadiness-
The Pelayo's boilers, recently put in

the experimenting engineer at Cadiz,
on the ground that they were of insult

coaIing.
The Rapido and the Patriota had not
been fitted with guns and neither had
a crew.
There was no belief in the reports
that the fleet was going to Manila, or
anywhere else for some weeks at least -

they did nothing more than canter

1t was conceded on all sides after the
work of the morning was over and the

cusS the coming race that Ornament

1t would be an open contest as there
are so many good ones in this year and
nearly all had been raced more or less.
AT 10 O'Clock this morning the track
was dryer than had been expected and
the harrOwS were at work trying to

MANILA CUT OFF.
Situation of the BeSieged is
Growing Desperate.
Insurgents Have Surrounded
the City.
ON THE LAND SIDE
Supplies of Food Can No Longer
Be Obtained.
Dewey is Waiting Patiently for

THE LAND SIDE

New York, May ga dispatch to the
World from Manila by way of Hong
Kong says: The situation of the be
sieged Inhabitants of Manila is grow
ing more and more desperate owing to
the shutting off of the supplies of food.
The blockade of the bay by Admiral
Dewey's squadron is complete while
the insurgents have surrounded the city
on the land side, thus efrectualIy clos
ing the place.
Admiral Dewey has deferred further
aggressive action at this point until the
arrival of the United States cruiser
Charleston with coal and ammunition
and of the promised troops for the
military occupation of the islands. The
Spaniards in Manila have heard a re-
port that a squadron of eight Spanish
warships is coming to attack the
American fleet. The story about the
smallpox epidemic on board the United
States vessels is without foundation
Everybody in the squadron is in excel
lent health, the weather is not severely
hot and no sickness is apprehended.
Hong Kong, May 2s.-There is abso-
Iutely truth in the report that the
United States cruiser Baltimore, now at
Manila has been damaged by an inter
nal explosion.
The United States auxiliary cruiser
Seafire which arrived here at midnight
yesterday reports that Rear Admiral
Dewey is short of provisions and ammu-
milton.
The Havilo- Manila cable, it is said,
was cut by the Americans on May %.
A brush between the insurgents and
the Spanish occurred near Cavite on
May 20.
The entire American fleet is at Ca
vite. The report that some of the
American ships had sailed for IIoilo
where the Spanish gunboat Ell Cano is
| supposed to be, is incorrect.
Aguinaldo. the insurgent leader, is
| with the insurgents between the Ameri-
| cans and Spain.
| The incendiary fires continue.
| The priests and nuns at Manila have

service from your state 1t is desired
to know how far you will be able to
furnish the above number.
R. A. ALGER,
Secretary of War.
When the governor read the telegram
his temper rose and not without some
reason, for he had followed Alger's in
structions as he understood He
promptly dictated the following tele-
gram in reply:
Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War:
In reply to your telegram saying it
will require $50 men to fill organizations
of Kansas troops already in the field to
maximum will say that the regiments
from Kansas left the state with ranks
your instructions, 5000 men signed the

you will give US two regiments under
