The reason for closing out these shoes
at such prices is because they are broken
lines-that is, not all sizes of a kind,
yet we have all sizes and half sizes of
some kinds in the lot, from 51a to 10 in
size. Your size is here.
We request you to call and see them,
as pen-painted pictures and Lot number
descriptions are inadequate to express
the idea we wish to convey. A onemn

There's something about the little
black dress that touches man in very
tender spot. He pats the little one on
the head, puts some pennies in her hand,
swallows hard and then-starts out to
make his own children fatherless. There
is no doubt that many man is taken
from his family by neglect of simple
precautions which would preserve his
health. Disease generally begins nova
days in vstomach trouble" because the
meals are hasty and the food not di-
gested. From that beginning come dis
orders of the blood, liver, kidneys, heart
or nerves. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, for diseases
of the organs of digestion and nutrition
will avert the catastrophe of more seri-
Gus disease. 1t strengthens the stomach,
purifes the blood, nourishes the nerves,
and builds men up i'll both brain and
body.

Medical Discovery has cured me sound and
we'll after suffering two long years with stom-
ach disease, !" writes w. H. Braswell, of McAden-

No RIGHT TO UGLINEss.

and temper will always have friends, but
one who would be attractive must Keep
her health. If she is weak, sickly and
all run down, she will be nervous ana
irritable. If she has constipation or KID

pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bitters is
the best medicine in the world to regu-
late stomach, liver, and kidneys and TO
purify the blood. 1t gives strong nerves

The City Council, at its meeting
last evening committed the great.
est blunder imaginable in refusing
to interpose an answer to the case
involving the rights of the public
to the eight-foot strip on Third-st.
1t is a question of grave Importance
and can only be determined by the
courts. as it now will be adverse to
the public without opposition.
The Herald has no other interest in
this matter than is common with
every citizen. How the courts
would decide it if tried, no one can
foretell, but so long as there is a
question affecting public rights the
council is bound to defend these
rights. 1t is derelict if it does not !.
Decided by the courts after prop
er defence no one could reasonably
find fault which ever way decided.
1t is not too late for the council to
reconsider its action.

MORE PEACEFUL IN PEKIN.

Arrival of Foreign Marines Has . Bene-
fetal Effect.
PEKIN, June 4.-American and other
foreign guards, numbering $40, arrived
here in the midst Of the dragon festival.
The streets were unusually crowded
and, though the people were greatly
interested in the annual spectacle, no
manifestation of hostility was made.
The presence of the guards has al.
ready had marked effect upon the
bearing of the Chinese toward foreign
ers. The excitement in the adjacent
country has been much allayed, but
many Christian refugees are still flock
ing into the city. The Boxers" are
evidently moving afield. Unfortu-
nately no leaders of the Boxers" have
been arrested, though their capture
would have been easy. All the govern
ment has done has been to occupy the
scenes of the disturbances and no real
repressive measures have been taken.

Sanford Dodge

For number of years Sanford
Dodge has been very welcome re-
current visitor at Sank Centre. He
never puts anything upon the stage
but what is clean, wholesome and
elevating. He is a fine actor, con-
sclentious and intelligent in his work,
and he has surrounded himself with
excellent support. 1t is to his credit
to note that such strong men as Lloyd,
Shakespeare, and Gay stay right with
him. They are all good actors in
their widely different fields and have
many friends here. On Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of this week he
has presented to good houses a
strong dramatization of the popular
novel Quo Vadis, which has been sc
widely read. 1t is a story of the per.
secutions, of the early Christians in
Rome by Nero. The play is intensely
interesting, and it is destinctiyely re-
ligious.
By the way, this dramatization used
by Mr., Dodge was madeby Miss Laura
Frankenfield of this city, and is 6
highly creditable piece of literary
work. She caught and held the spirit
of the novel and presents it in strong
lines.
Mr.. Dodge introduces new man
Richard Ruttedge-who made an ex'
cellent impression. The polished
gentleman seemed to need no acting
on his part. Two of the ladies of his
company are well-known here, and
have won scores of friends-Misses
leila Zee Switzer and Laura Franken.
field. With them is Miss Bainbridge,
an attractive young lady who did well.
In fact, his entire company is very
creditable in every way, and gave two
satisfactory evenings.

evening, with all members present.

made for. the expenses of the delegates
of the fire department to the state

ication urging the council to contest
the claim of property owners on Third
st. to the disputed eight foot strip, to
the end that judicial decision as to
the respective rights of the public and
the property owners might be deter
mined. 1t will be remembered that
action has been brought by Messrs.
Hilsdale and Sprague asking for
quieting the title in them.
By avote of four to two blanks, the

ing that the public has no claim to the

think 100000 should be spent fo- central
factory for their benefit, while the munich
pal council Of Ponce has appointed O COM
mittee to ask for part of the money for
improvements of Ponce waterworks. The
movement which would meet with more
favor will be the spending of $1,000, 900 In
