SCARLET FEVER SPREADING.

Another case Of scarlet fever was re-
ported to the board of health Saturday .
1t is at is School street. In the IS days
of this month, % cases have been re-
ported. The mortality report OF Saturday
gave one death resulting from scarlet
fever. There are now 80 odd cases
in the city, where the houses are quaran-
tined, and the officers Of this board OF
health arc using every prscaution to pre-
vent the spread of the disease and are
hoping that 1t viii scon run itsslf out.
As fast as a case Is reported the houfs
containing 1t Is quAraptined so there ia
little chance Of going further. STILL cases
occur afternoons that are too late to re-
port that day and this occasions more or
less uneasiness.
1t started In the first place either from
earslssness or else In such q mild form
that the parents did not realize the dan
gerous nature Of the disease until too late
to prevent Its spreading.
There is also quite good dsal Of
diphthsria In the city.

ORE.

And this department merits the
name, when you come to consider the
few really good brands of cigars in
the market it doesn't require great
deal of space in which to show them.
But we haven't been niggardly
with the space, and all the Good
Cigars worth your consideration are
here. No poor ones are represented.
One of the leading importers of
the country, who knows good cigars
as diamond expert knows rare
gems, does our buying.
You can safely trust his judgment.
We expect this will be one OF the
leading attractions of this store.
That's why we placed the department
near the eastern entrance

OUR
BAKERY.

This is a decided Innovation to us
and, naturally enough, we speak OF
it first. Should any traces of pride
be descernible in this our ma iden ad-
vertising speech. it's all on account
of the Bakery.
We couldn't hide our pleasure as
the thought of its mechanical COM
pleteness, its neatness and capacity
for turning out Pure food products,
occur to us, il we tried, and then our
friends would remind US Of it all.
But enough OF the Bakery itself.
You'll want to see it, and we accord
you that privilege.
While the Bakery is new to US, it
is under the direction Of people to
the manor born. Our chief chef,
Mr.. B. Nustedt comes to us from
Copeland's, Boston. Does any man
possess better credentials as to his
ability to produce something appe-
tizing? We think not, Who has
not heard of Copeland's confections
and delicious cakes!
How often it's remarked that it is
an impossibility to get Good French
Bread hereabouts, you'll not hear it
| in the future. Our Mr. Hoppe en-
joys a reputation as French Bread
baker that did not come to him
through chance. He won it. His
products will be in great demand.
And Vienna Bread. If you
know OF o race better equipped, men,
tally and physically, for the making
OF Best Bread than the Austrians,
you are an exception to the rule, but
You don't, nor does anybody. Our
Vienna Bread Baker is an Austrian,
Mr. Biawald. He has held response
BILE positions in leading bakeries and
can be depended upon for Good
light wholesome Bread.
And there are others. Each OF
these prize bakers are emphatic in
their assertions that there isn't bet
ter Bakery than ours in New Eng
land.

Wouldn't il it was not for the fact
that we desire to impress it upon

Grade, not high priced store.
Doesn't matter what you need,
from the common, everyday necessi-
ties to Foreign and Domestic grocer
les, you'll always find our prices in
keeping with the quality of the goods.

A HINT OF THE NEW THINGS:
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1899-02-15
OUR OLDEST CITY.
The Honor Now Said TO Belong to
Caparra, Puerto Rico.

The settlement of Ponce dc Leon, ut
CaParra, near the site OF Pueblo Viejo,
across San Juan Bay, is now, by more
than 90 years, the first town establish
ed within the present borders of the
united States, says a San Juan (Puer-
to Rico) letter in the New York Sun.
historians, therefore, must give the
prestige of antiq uity, not TO the Span
lsh town CT ST. Augustine, Fla, OF
1865, as formerly, but to Caparra,
founded in the year 1899.
DIR. VI. ". Harrington. of the San
Juan Weather Office, discovered the
exact location OF the historical Capar-
ia unexpectedly. On a pleasure walk
into the country two weeks ago he
happened to select the road to Pueblo
Viejo, and Wien talking with the ma
live residents learned their traditions
OF the first Spanish town in Puerto
RICO. He accordingly procured a
guide and made an examination of
the nearest extinct ruins. OF his in
terestng discovery DIR. Harrington
says:
Without doubt. the ruins / found
are those of the first settlement estab-
liShed by the explorer and coloniZer,
Ponce de Leon. Both local tradition
and history name Caparra as the
earliest town on the island. and agree,
moreover. on ';iiis same site near Old
Village, or Pueblo Nisio. Even the
native negroes. some of whom could
neither read nor write. knew the story
of Caparia. Ny personal invcs iyation
/ further satisfied me of the correctness
of their tradition"
;
The only remains of the original
town visible cow are the ruins of
church, hospital and 4 repaired lime
Stone furnace. Nest OF the stone from
the church, hospital and houses has
been used, according to the natives,
IN the construction of new highways
On little elevation from the shore
swNmps the site of Caparra is hidden
from San Juan Pay. three miles dis
tant, by a row of hills. Another his
torlcal landma rl near by is the re-
puted gold mine worked by the first
Spanish settlers. Ponce de Leon
greatly enriched himself, say tradi-
ton and also history, by the compul-
sorry labor of the native Indians in the
mines. Although alta cked by hordes
OF mosquitoes, the gray-haired old
warrior and explorer remained in Ca
para until 1912, and then set sail for
the miraculous fountain of youth.
His voyage ended on Easter Sunday,
March q, 1912. in the discovery OF
the present peninsula of Florida. But
che greater part of the original colony
stayed in Caparra until compelled a
few years later to abandon the town
in order to escape the hot fever
weather and an army of mosquitoes.
The final evacuation is said to have
been in 1852
DIR. Harrington has already called
the attention of educa tors in the Unit
ed States to Caparra in the hope of
saving the ruins from further destruc-
ton. Such a historical settlement he
thinks at least ought to he marked by
a monument. Even thus early the
American relic, hunters have begun
TO chip off pieces of the church foun-
dation stones for souvenirs.
