Grief in the "solo" Club.


The solo" club did not meet last
Sunday, and rs a consequence there
was considerable grief for two of the
members. The solo" club is an or
ganization composed of three men,
bers-Dr. T. J. Mason. c. W. White,
and H. c. McNew. Its object is pure
ly social, and meetings are held every
Sunday or Oftener at the Brown hotel.
The membership being so small, it is
necessary that each member be pres
ent at every meeting. Last Sunday
morning one member was absent,
hence no session of the club was held.
The absent member was c. W. White,
and consequently MessrS. Mason and
McNew were filled with grief. No
business could be transacted without
the presence Of Mr. White, and it was
decided that diligent search should be
instituted. Search was at once begun
and many clews were run down before
the whereabouts of the absentee were
located. At first it was thought that
he had gone duck hunting, but after
due Investigation this idea was aban-
doned. Next it was suggested that he
might haye been Kidnapped but Wis
it to his room in the hotel disclosed
the fact that the bed had been occu-
pied for at least part of the night pre-
yiOus, and the kidnapping theory was
consequently given up. Mr.. Whites
partner, w. H. Wallace, was then
hunted up aud questioned, but he
could give no information relative to
the missing member. Finally Messrs.
Nc New and Mason decided to wire
the conductor OF Denver train No. 3,
which left here at 30 a. M, and learn
whether or not he had had passenger
that morning answering TO the descrip-
tion OF the missing man. A reply was
received about II o'clock. 1t stated
that Mr.. White had Travelled from
Julesburg 70 Denver on No. 3; that he
was apparently in good health and
spirits, and that he seemed to be max
ing the trip OF his own free will and
accord-in fact his general appearance
was that of a gentleman intent upon a
pleasure jaunt. The receipt of this in
formation was very acceptable TO
Messrs McNew and Mason. It remov-
ed a great load of sorrow from their
hearts. They realized that their col
league was enjoying himself in Den
yer, and they were content to forego
the pleasure Of his company for one
day, knowing that others would profit
by their loss.

Marion Kooke, manager for T. NJ.
Thompson, large importer of fine
millinery at 1858 Milwaukee Avenue,
Chicago, says: During the late Sc
we're weather caught a dreadful cold
which kept me awake during the night
and made me unfit to attend my work
during the day. One of my millners
was taking Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy for severe cold at that time,
which seemed to relieve her SO quickly
that bought some for myself. 1t act

Death of c. L. Durant.
Especial Correspondrnce.l

Especial Correspondvnce)
Barberton, Feb. 26.-The circum,
stances surrounding the death of Chas;
Lucius Durant have occasioned a great
deal of comment At council meeting
last night, Councilman McCarty rose
and suggested that the matter be in
vestigated by the village officials, but
it was demonstrated to his satisfaction
that If there was anything suspicious
in the circumstances surrounding Dur
ants death, the matter was entirely
in the hands of the coroner, whose de
cision would settle the matter. Con,
siderable bitterness has been aroused
against the Christian Alliance by this
case and many remarks are heard on
every side. Durant was popular
young man and his death without med.
ical attention has aroused the indig-
nation of all.

A FAMILIAR FALSEH00D.

When a customer seeks to purchase
some well Known, widely advertised,
standard article, and the dealer tries
to sell him something else claiming the
offered substitute to he Just as good"
the dealer ia guilty of fragrant false
hood.
If the substitute were just as good
it would sell on its own merits and
would be called for by customers in
stead of having to be unloaded upon
them by means Of falsehood and de-
ceit.
The very fact of the comparison, "just
as good" proves the claim to be un.
true. We measure up, not down.
We measure the less by the
greater, not the greater by the less
When, therefore, some unknown or lit
tie known article is ranged up for
measurement, by well known
standard article, the very fact
of such measurement and compar-
ison, stamps the substitute as lesser
thing than the standard article with
which it is compared
But this is only half the truth. By
this we prove the claim lust as good"
to be a falsehood, but the extent Of
that falsehood 1t is impossible to es-
innate. Just as good" means, in gen
eral, adulteration in place of purity,
an uncertain, quality instead of a GER
tain quality, cheap material instead OF
the adulterants may be not simply
make weights and cheats, but in some
cases may be dangerous polsons.
When the dealer says Just as good"
ask yourself Just as good" for whom +?
You will find in the answer to that
question the motive of substitution,
which is the extra profit paid the deal
er by the sale of the substitutes and
limitations of standard wares. Practi-
cally the dealer says, when practicing
the gentle art of substitution, This is
just as good for you, because it is n
great deal more profitable for me and
anything is good enough for you which
increases my profits
