 gave the same name and told the same
 story as the one told here. He aroused
 the suspicious of the express clerk, who
 told him it would cost him $42.50, pre-

 the man took his package and went out.

South HADLEY, Mass, June 20.
President Mckinley participated
in the commencement ex .rcises al
Holyoke college today, awarding the
diplomas TO the senior class, among
whom was his niece, Miss Grace
Mckinley, and accepting in a brief
address the degree OF doctor of civil
law, conferred upon him by the col

President Mckinley said:

tinguished honor which the board

self most fortunate today 10 look

Institutions Of the kind are demon
strating that fact.

MAY OPPOSE ZENOR.
Possible Candidates in the Third In.
diana District.
Cox, Shea and Stannard are Mentioned
By Their Friends 10 Congress.
siOnal Race.

Congressman William I. Zenor,
of the Third Indiana district, was
in Jacksonville yesterday. He is
touring the district to look after
the rails on the political fence.
Just now Congressman Zenor
does not know whether he is going
to have opposition when he offers
himself next spring as a candidate
for the third time. There has been
talk that w. f.. Cox, Of Jasper,
Democratic distric ct chairman. will
be in the field. The friends of Joe
III. Shea, Of Scott county, have
been connecting his name with the
race. He is popular and is one Of
the acknowledged leaders of the
Indiana Democracy. In the last
Legislature be made a good record.
There might be other candidates,
but all are waiting to see if NJ. Z.
Stannald, Of Jacksonville, yields
to his friends and permits the use
Of his name. Mr.. STANDARDS friends
say he would win sure. He would
have Clark, Floyd, Scott and Wash
ington counties, they say, ard these
are the largest in the district"
The above is clipped from Tues
days Louisville Courier-Journal
the Republican organ Of Jefferson
county, KY. The COURIER is not
informed as to whether Mr.. Cox
will be a candidate for congress or
not, as we think it is full early to
begin a canvass for a nomination a
year off. Hon. w. T. Zenor has
made an ordinarily safe and good
congressman, but has so far devel-
oped no extraordinary ability for
the position, and as the usual Gus
tom has been to give a man two
terms, and then change, unless he
shows more than ordinary ability,
Judge Zenor has the coming session
of congress yet to show his peculiar
fitness.
But should Mr.. Cox determine to
stand for the nomination, he will
give all other candidates a hustle
for success. He is one Of the brain
lest men in the district, and if nom
mated is calculated by disposition
to make friends in every neighbor-
hood, and would be elected by a
large majority.
When elected the people would
have no cause to regret their choice,
by his violation Of public pledges,
Or voting contrary to Democratic
principles, and he would reflect
honor on his district as a worthy
successor Of the lamented Michael
G.. Kerr, Of national fame.
He was Iaised as a Democrat,
and all Of his life since young boy

masses. He is yet young, active,
and a bold and fearless fighter for

BASE BALL.-The game OF ball
between the Huntingburg and J as
per ball clubs, played at the College
park last Sunday, resulted in a VIC
tory for the latter by a score Of III
to 5. Our boys went into the game
with the determination to win and
kept abreast at all TINES. The
game was played in "olI time
style" like our boys formerly
played, and was interesting from
start to finish. Schung, the pitcher
for Huntingburg, was hit hard.
Heinrich, their short stop, was
compelled to quit the game on ac-
count Of a broken arm, hit by a ball.
The two teams will probably play
again in the near future.

Special Features Of
Qur Business.,2

Is worth something. We have lots of .it-been handling medi-
cnes for twenty years-long enough to know how to do it.
Is a feature that seems t. escape many an otherwise good
druggist. We make cleanliness a point for remark. Every
bottle, graduate, mortar or utensel is cleaned before your pre-
scription is filled.
Is avoided if you trade with us. A few dishonest men in the
drug business may cause a shadow Of suspicion to be
thrown over the whole profession. Our position regarding
substitution is ii known. We avoid anything of the kind,
the same rs any other criminal act. If the drugs called for in
your prescription are expensive you are told SO, and charged
accordingly. If we Lave not got it in stock we get it for you.
In fact, we find that people consider it an accommodation to
to them when We offer to obtain something not in stock. We
know Of no circumstance that would excuse substitution. We
will fill your prescription as it is ordered or we will not fill it
at all. The honest method has paid us and we shall stick to
it..
Is another feature that has made our store popular. We
never sacrifice quality for price, but we always aim to give the
best for the least money. You should not pay seventy five
cents for a prescription that is worth only half a-dollar, or
thirty-fve cents for a tooth brush worth a quarter. These ex-
ira dimes fill the tis of some druggists for a season-but the
people soon find out a few things for themselves. Our motto
is honest prices for honest goods.
Is appreciated by the trading public. Whether you want 10
buy go IDS of us or merely want to look at them-it is all the
same-you are welcome in our store and we will try to treat
you well.
