A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Daughter and Then Commits Sui 3.
eide In Horr. BILE Manner,

CANTON, o., Aug. 1O.-A terrible
triple tragedy occurred three miles
east of this city Tuesday night result
ing in the death of Edward Eckinger,
his wife and their three year old
daughter. Neighbors discovered the
dead bodies of the three lying upon
the bed in the Eckinger home.
Mrs. Eckinger evidently first shot her
husband and daughter with shotgun
and then tried to commit sSicioe by
gashing the veins in her wrist with a
knife. The latter apparently proved
too slow or else too painful, for the
woman put third charge into the
gun and sent it through her heart.
Eckinger was 25 years old and a
farm laborer. Lately he has been
drinking quite heavily and frequent
quarrels took place between him and
his wife. The couple had agreed to
separate.

Eight Hundred of Ills Soldiers Enter the
Camp of Pacheco,o ,one OF Jim
Lnez's Generals.

CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti Aug. 10. Gen.
Francisco Tiriano with 500 men, sent
from Monte Caristi by the Dominican
government to attack Gen. Ramon Pa
checo at Dajabon, the headquarters of
the revolutionists, was abandoned
when he arrived in front of the en-
emy by his troops, who without firing
shot deserted and entered the
camp of Gen. Pacheco, The advanced
posts of the latter are at Las Aguas
and the revolutionists are masters of
the fords across the river Vague, thus
cutting off communication between
Monte Christi and the interior The
forces of Don Juan Isidro Jiminez,
leader of the revolution, are being
augmented every day, and the news
from all parts of the dominican repub-
lie is favorable to him.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O--Gen. Brooke
was given instructions Wednesday to
prevent at all hazards any filibustering
expedition in Jiminez interest leaving
Cuba. 1t is probable that this subject
more than any other, is the immediate
cause of Secretary Roots visit to Lake
Champlain. Mr.. Root received a sum-
mons from the president just after sew
eral dispatches from Brooke about the
suspicious movements of Jiminez had
been received, asking instructions.

some of our imitators ar doing. A
great many people, merchants as well,
get the idea because a price is Low the
quality of the goods must be poor and
they. try to impress this upon their
customers and induce them to pay
nigh prices or take a poor quality in
competition with our goods at low
prices. 1t shows that they either be-
1ieve we sell these poor goods at the
prices we quote or they are under the
impression they can compete and hold
their trade by foisbing off an inferior
quality and make believe that 1t is the
quality we sell at the Low Prices we
quote. We wish to put our customers
on their guard against the houses
who use these methods. When they say
tnat good goods can't be sold at such
low prices as we quote, come without
delay and you will find everything just
as we advertise. Those who do not
deal regularly with us may believe
some of these outside imitators, but if
