There is feature of our business we OF
ten note, and that is, anyone trading with
for season, in nearly every instance, becomes
our permanent customer.
We call to mind many of our very best GUS
toners, who, UP to few years ago, rarely ever
traded with us, and who began by coming in
once in while then more often until gradu=
ally they ceased to trade at their old trading
place and became customers for all their
needs in the lines we sell.
1t seems to us that the more thoroughly
customer comes to know store and business
methods, the they appreciate Them At
first they do not notice all the points wherein
our store is different than others, but gradually
they find that there are many things, which
not apparent on first glance, but which
bring about general satisfaction in trading,
which they do not remember of noticing in
other stores
They learn that in all selling, a spirit of
fairness is practiced==f fairness not only to the
buyer, but to the seller. A reliability of goods
and styles. The general conscientious and
friendly effort by all to sell to customers some
thing which will be not only economical but
satisfactory. An absence of the practice found
in some stores, to do anything, say anything to
make sale; and the more obnoxious practice,
of urging and pushing customer to take some-
thing not wanted, because the wanted thing
is not in stock.
They learn that selling in this store is a
dignified transaction, that customers are not
looked upon as common prey, and that all, rich
and poor, old and young, are treated with
universal courtesy aud honesty.
These are some Of the reasons ,CJ.y DkR
toners continue to trade at RusselEs.

VERY COOL RECEPTION.

Cecil knotna Arrive - London but the
Public Shows No Intorest in Him.
LONDON, April 7.-Cecil Rhodes has ar.
rived in this city. He is well and cheer.
full, but is much more exclusive than no
was on his previous trip home. This is
doubtless owing to the fact that DR.
Rutherford Harris, the former secretary
Of the British South African company,
and Alfred Belt, the South African f.
nancier. met Mr.. Rhodes at Funchal,
Island of Madeira, and advised him to
observe reticence ON South African at.
fairs, especially his alleged differences
with Colonel Kekewich at Kimberley.
Mr.. Rhodes reception was in marked
contrast to his former ovations. The
public did not show tho slightest inter-
est in him. From the time Of his ar.
rival he was surrounded by a bodyguard
composed Of Messrs. Belt, Harris,
Hawkesley and Rochefort- Mcguire and
other henchmen, who hurried him from
the boat to the train and from the train
to a cab without permitting him to
speak to any one.

Lord Roberts Report Of the
Unfortunate Affair Near
Reddersburg.
Surrounded by a Superior
Force of Beers With Four
!: or Five Guns.

LONDON, April Mot a word re-
Carding the disaster at keddersburg has
been allowed to come through except
the dispatch Of Lord Roberts. It is
therefore impossible to form any notion
es to what has happened. Meanwhile
the British public is beginning to
realize the immense difficulties to be
overcome even before Pretoria il
,feached and is revising premature
ideas with respect to the time the war
will be over. No one now believes it
will be ended by the beginning Of July.
The latest disaster more particularly
Illustrates the heavy task in holding the
railway. This body of some 400 British
troops, without guns, which disap-
peared so completely within IS miles Of
the great British army, had been en-.
gagged in guarding a section of the
newly acquired railway between Bloom.

thus be spirited away how is Lord Rob.

Other pertinent questions are being
asked as a result Of these 81 ,cessive

most is why don't the British troops
entrench. It is argued that if this had
been done, even 400 men might have
held out until reinforcements had ar
rived. It cannot be concealed that the
Utmost alarm is beginning to DO felt.
1t is said the Beers who captured the
British at Reddersburg belonged to
Olivier's commando. If so, he has not
retired north, and hopes are expressed
that he may still be cut off.
As numerous prisoners are now held
on both sides and the numbers are about
equal the question Of exchange was
mooted in the house Of commons. This

LONDON, April 7.-Lord Roberts re-

"The detachment held out from noon
April 8, until April 4, a. M, and then
apparently surrendered, for it is re-
ported that the firing ceased at that
time. Immediately after I heard the
news, during the afternoon Of April 8,
+ ordered Gatacre to proceed from
Springfontein, his present headquar-
tiers, to Reddersburg, with all possible
speed, and dispatched the Cameron
Highlanders thence to Bethany. He
arrived at Reddersburg at 1890 yester-
day morning, without opposition, but
could get no news Of the missing de-
