SOME PREFER
CORN

To peas or any other vegetable. Here
always is canned corn, delicious for its
sweetness, tenderness, and rich, sweet
corn taste, Ours sells readily at 15c
because it is corn perfection and only a
little of this quality can be secured each
season. A 13c kind is nearly equal
quality Many customers say our Ioc
corn suits them perfectly in quality,
quantity, and price. It's no wonder our
SC corn has sold SO rapidly. The extra
quality at the low price tells the story.
No better succotash anywhere than ours
at 10, 10, and I5c. Tomatoes here are
fullest quantity and most perfect quality
at TO- 10, and I5c.

As illustrated in the accompanying
small engraving white Persian lawn is
the material chosen, the yoke, collar
and sleeves being of valenciennes lace
insertion and fine tucking. White
French taffeta ribbon is used for the
sash belt, which is gracefully bowed
at the left side. A lace-edged ruch-
ing of lawn three inches wide outlines
the yoke and passes over the shoul-
ders, whore full-looped bows Of the
ribbon are placed. The waist is ar
ranged over fitted Innings that close
in centre front, the full fronts and
back being gathered at the top and
applied to the lining at round-yole
depth. The smooth round yoke is
included in the right shoulder seam,
joined to the gathered edge of front
and closed invisibly at the left shoul-
der. The fnll fronts can be closed
invisibly in centre front or cut with
out seam, joined to the lower edge
of yoke and closed at shoulder, arms

The fulness at the waist is drawn
down tightly in back, while in front a
slightly bloused effect is stylishly
maintained. The standing collar is
shaped with fashionable points that
rise up behind the ears and are cut
away in centre back. The closely
fitted sleeves are correctly shaped,
with wide upper and narrow under
portions, the scant fulness at the top
being collected in gathers.
The mode is also suitable for waists
of silk or fine wooden fabrics, in which
yokes and sleeves of all-over lace.

be inserted. Narrow frizzed satin

The new sect of Enochites in the
Russian province of Astrakham is
giving the government considerable
trouble. Some of the members have
been transported to Siberia, while
large numbers of others are shut up
in the prisons of the district, without
the least doubt in their own minds
that they are being prosecuted for
righteousness sake. The immense
number of sects constantly springing
up in Russia would be of somewhat
remote interest to Americans if they
did not mostly all lean to the idea OF
emigrating here in body and setting
up among us their tabernacles, the

II Will Be Different.

With an effective force of but 1000
men, General Otis captured all Of the
strategic points in the Philippines. AS
he had to move his forces from one
place to take another, the scattered in
surgents would reassemble upon the de-
serted ground, terrorize the inhabitants
and compel them to furnish ~sustenance
for the rebels. But before Christmas
General Otis will have nearly three
times as many men as he had in the
former campaign, and nearly three
times as long as he had before, ere a
rainy season comes to interfere with OPP
erations. When he retakes the points
which he abandoned he will leave garri-
sons there to punish the insurgents if
they return, and he will still have a
force large enough to chase the rebels
until they have been hunted from all
their haunts and compelled to surren-
der. There are no places too inaccessi-
BILE for American troops who have hunt
ed Indians to follow. 1t is only a ques-
ton of rounding up the insurgents, for
they are certainly not effective fighters,
and will be defeated in every important
engagement.

WOIcott In the Saddle.

Senator Wolcott has set a pace for
Republicans of Colorado by announcing
that there should be no fusion in the
next campaign, and Republicans should
stand alone. Political fusion of dis
cordant parties is always unsatisfac-
tory where principles are at stake. Re-
publicans have never gained by alli-
ances with and concessions to enemies
who seek alliances for the purpose of
securing offices which could not be OBJ
tained upon their own merits. The Re-
publican party has always had prin-
ciples and objects in view, and has ac-
complished all that it has eve achieved
in spite of opposition instead Of through
forming alliances with disappearing po-
litical parties. No concession is ever
made in political matters that does not
call for more surrenders to the benefi-
and new enmities are aroused
when these growing demands must be
refused or the grantors compromised
by abandoning too much.

Labor is All Right.

The only thing about the Dreyfus
trial which meets with the admiration
of American readers of the proceedings
is the way in which Lawyer Labor
grills the malicious colonies and gen.
when he gets them upon the stand.
Labor must be an American lawyer
posing as a Frenchman from the fear
less and vigorous in which he
conducts the cross examination. 1t N
very evident that his assassination was
attempted because the anti-Dreyfus
clique knew what was in store for
them. By removing the one attorney in
the land whom they feared they hoped
to escape exposure and degradation be-
fore the country. If Labori desires
when the trial ends to leave a lane
where wrong is too strongly enthroned
he will find America ready to honor and
welcome him. And he will also discover
that in this country an attorney who
attacks wrong and roasts an oppres-
sor is in no danger of bullets for doing
duty.

to wear out their pockets by carrying
coin, and are perfectly willing to allow
the government to pile up the metal in
the treasury SO long as paper promises
that will draw down the gold and sill
Yer on demand are as good as gold"
In fact, the banks are unable to per-
suade their customers to take gold when
paper certificates of the government
can be had. The amount of gold coin in
use in the United States is $97S, 900, 900.
OF this, 5000, 900, 900 is in the treasury,
and the banks of the New York clear
ing house hold 1924, 600, 900, thus account
ing for 43 per cent of the money. Most
of the rest is in banks, although they
pay it out as rapidly as they can. Six
ty-three million silver dollars are in
circulation, and $40, 500, 900 in subsidiary
silver. All the rest of the silver Of the
government, $417, 200, 900 and 1874, 900, 900

A RAILWAY Pr0sperinu.

New Mexico looks to the Denver &
Rio Grande railway for an important
extension of the branch line now ter
minating in the capital city. 1t is,
therefore, interesting to learn that the
business for the thirteenth fiscal year
showed great increase, according to
President Jeffrey. His report indicates
a substantial increase in the years
business ending June 80, and is indica-
tive of the high efficiency of rot only
the general office forces, but in the OPP
Grating service as well. The report,
simmered down, shows that the operat-
ing expenses have been a trifle heavier
than for the previous year, but the
amount of business was much greater
in proportion. The smelter strike cut
off at least 800, 900 in revenue, while
fighting snow blockades cost $109, 1885
The previous year this item amounted
to less than $25, 900. Washouts cost
$12, 260. 95, or double that of the year be-
fore. There was a saving in repairs of
SAG, 1O9. S3, and ties $53, 955.17. Both
freight and passenger departments
showed substantial increases in reve-
nue.,
