CASH SYSTEM

We find in looking over books
that many of our customers
whom we have favored BIZ al
lowing them to run open ac-
counts with us, have abused the
privilege and this year bought
their goods for cash elsewhere.
1t is to protect our business
against this class of trade that
we decided to make this change.
For the last % YEARS we
have endeavored, sometimes at
a great sacrifice of profit, to
give the people of this section a
first-class jewelry store. A
place where they could buy
HONEST GOODS at HONEST
PRICES.
To those of our friends who
have assisted us in our efforts
we extend sincere thanks and
promise for the future to keep
our business up to it's usual
high standard. and with their
patronage and assistance, to
show them better service in
1899 than ever before.
Yours for BIG DOLLARS

Storm Veered to the East Before Reach
ting That City.
HUDSON, Wis, June 13.-One of the
most terrific cyclones ever witnessed by
the. citizens Of Hudson passed through
the co4ntry here at about $50 p. m. It
formed in a waterspout four miles south
of:Hudson on Lake St. Croix. It was
Witnessed by hundreds of people and
seemed to follow the lake and to be-
making directly for the city, but about
two miles south it veered to the east
and left the lake and crossed the coun-
try. It first struck the buildings of Fl.
S. Mattison. Just before the storm
reached the place the family and farm
help fed for the cellar. The cellar
door had just closed when the crash
came. This place was directly in the
line Of the storm and not q building,
tree, wagon or piece Of machinery is
left whole. The house was completely
swept from its foundations and nothing
remained but the floor, which covered
the people in the cellar. Not. one of
them were harmed. Forty cattle and
about 100 sheep cannot be found. The
storm passed on to the northeast de-
stroying every thing in. its way. Tele-
graph and telephone wires are all blown
down and adjoining towns cannot be
heard from.

Saturdays Battle the Hardest Yet Expe-
rienced by Our Troops.
MANILA, June IL. The Filipino &C.
! cupation of the province of Cavite has
been broken and, as the result of the
present movement, the Americans now
control the important coast towns Of
Paranaque and Las Pinas, while a long
line of insurgent trenches facing our
south line has been cleared.
The insurgents have again proved
their facility as dodgers. Between
5000 and 1000 warriors, who seemed
destined to be captured, have disap-
peared, the majority sliding away un-
der cover of the night, after fighting
the Americans all day. Some others
came to meet our troops with protesta-
tions of friendship.
The Thirteenth infantry lost man
killed and 6 wounded; the Ninth in
fantry, man killed and wounded; the
Fourteenth infantry, wounded, and
the First Colorado volunteer regiment,
II wounded.

Saturdays work was the hardest our
army has seen. The battlefield stretch

Laguna de Bay to the harbor. While
the troops were advancing, the army

Tagu, shelled the enemy, killing several
of them. The monitor Monadnock and
the gunboat Helena shelled Paranaque
and Las Pinas all day with the full
power of their batteries.
At the outset the Colorados, the
Ninth infantry and the Twenty-tirst ia
fantry forced the line of insurgent
trenches, wheeled to the left and drove
the enemy toward the lake. The Ninta,
infantry crept around to the right,
fanking the trenches, driving out the
Filipinos and killing many of them.
The Colorado regiment advanced to the
lake, charging the enemy and driving
them out. In the meantime General

Paranaque, where the Americans. found

they drove the Filipinos by hard fight

PROVED TO BE A SWlNDLE.
Even Rysn's Eyes Are Opened 10 The Gigantic
Iernegan Gold Fake.

Boston. May 1.-The Herald will say.
tomorrow: Prof. Carmichael. the eX
pert appointed by the committee in
charge of the liquidation of the Flee
trolytic Marine Salts Co, has sub
nitted a semi official report Of his eX-
periments.
So far as the Jernegan process is
concerned, the professor does not hes
itate TO say in substance. that it is
fake. He admits that it is possible TO
find traces of gold in the accumulators
devised by Jernegan but these traces
are SO vague as to be hardly worth
mentioning except as scientific fact.
There Is 50 little gold to be found that
il would not pay to operate the plant
upon that system.
President Arthur b. Ryan. who is
now at Lubec, has at least been con-
verted to the idea that the sO-called
Jernegan process is a failure. He has
insisted that his independent investi-
cations assured him that by Jernegan
process il was possible to take gold
from sea water at profit. His con
versation comes in the shape Of let
ter to Mr.. Warren in which he at last
admits that he was mistaken.
Prof Carmichael has been asked to
extend his Investigations still further,
and inform the committee if it is posi-
BILE to extract gold from sea water by
any system at a profit. He is at work
on this line at the present time.
While Prof Carmichael is operating,
plant No. | will not be sold. but plant

the more valuable. is now for sale to
any one who will make a reasonable
offer. There is clear title to the
place, and over $4,000 has been eX-
pended in building the wharves ana
improving property. There are also
several houses on the property.
Chairman Warren Of the committee
appointed to settle up the affairs OF
the company. says that the COMMITTEES
will be able to pay at least another
now in hand. regardless of the amount
the works will bring. 1t would not be
surprising if the total of dividends
amounted TO 81 per cent. out Of a to-
tai Of 953 600 shares issued, all but 20
oW shares are represented in the agree
ment under which the committee was
appointed. These $4,000 shares repre-
sent the holdings of two parties who
are now engaged in litigation. and for
that reason refused to join with the
committee. AS Il consequence they DO
not participate in the 90 per cent. divi-
dend which has been declared.
