The Word
 Box

Sometimes has a whole lot of meaning: for instance, you hear of couple oI men going to BOX a few rounds; well, you can bet your life and half of your money if they understand their busl- ness each one will get all the boxing they want, but not half of what they are deserving. Then, again, you'll see how the mayor of some great city (Wa- terbury for instance), will get himsef into a BOX when making appoint ments for the different positions. We all know how many are looking Tor each place when only one is needed: hence the chief executive gets himself into a BOX. Say, if the man of the house is sent for pound of good tea and he doesn't buy it at our store. you can bet your boots he gets himself into a disagreeable BOX. But did you ever see or hear of the folding lunch BOX? You can carry good, big, square meal in it, and after eating you can wash it. fold it up and put it into your pocket. Therefore. it's out or your way after it's empty. The regn- lar price is 9 cents: our price is l9c. Take look at them in our window. Remember our 25c Butter is o. k. Our Tea and Coffee is, as usual, the good tasting kind, at

that reason have been hammering
down credit balance quotations. This
is a fayorite ruse with them. They put
the price OF oil down to such a figure
the operators become Disguised and sell
out, and that is just what the Standard
wants at the present time. If it can
get hold Of the production and keep the
opposition line out they would be will
ing to pay a much higher price for the
oil. With the Standard owning nearly
all the production the other line would
have practically nothing to do and it
would be but a short time until the
great octopus would absorb the new
line. The work on the new line is be-
ing pushed along very rapidly, there
being about 500 men at work on 1t a,
present, and it is expected it will be
completed about September LIST.

THE AMERICAN COWBOY
Will be a Feature of Buffalo Bits
Wild West Show as Usual.

Will he a Feature of Buffalo Bits
Wild West show as Usual.
The easy, unstudied grace, added to
the seemingly dangerous recklessness of
the American cowboy in the saddle, has
always evoked outspeken admiration
and wonder. Added to this, there ap-
pears to be such a perfect accord be-
tween the rider and his horse, when
the latter has been thoroughly mas
tered, that would indicate a subtle un-
d~erstanding between the two, at all
times directing them alike to the ac-
eomplishment of the same urpos AS
a consequence, the feats of horseman-
ship performed by the cowboys in Buff
falo Bills Wild West always arouse
great enthusiasm and win thunders of
well deserved applause. The object
lessons they give of the struggle be-
tween horse and man for mastery; the
triumph of mans intellectually over
brute force. and the subsequent bond
of apparent friendship between the
two, can only be seen and understood
by a visit TO the Wild West.
These picturesque cowboys will form
an important part in the grand street
parade to be made upon the arrival of
the great aggregation In this city,
which will be led in person by Col. W.
F. Cody buffalo BID. The show will
exhibit on the Island Monday after.

THE WHEAT CROP.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Dispatehcs
from correspondent of r. G. Dun & Co.,
throughout the winter wheat belt,
promise an unusually satisfactory yield.
Conditions have distinctly improved
since the earlier statement was prepar-
ed especially as respects the iHessian
fly, which threatened serious disaster
IN some sections a few weeks ago. The
grain has nov made sufficient progress
to exclude any extensive losses through
.ravages of this pest AMI there is little
sign of ether untoward influences. In
many States the acreage planted was
Slightly smaller than last years bit
the better condition as a rule suggests
an equally good yield. This includes
allowance for losses in Texas where
drouth necessitatsd replanting ana In
many cases the final acreage was not
more than half last years. AS the ell
tire yield of the State is a comparative
ly unimpartant factor in the total win
ter wheat crop, its misfortunes will not
materially affect the aggregate.

PARKERSBURG, w. Va, May %
The nineteenth annual meeting of the
department of West Virginia, Grand
Army of the Republic, began this morn
ing at ten O'Clock with probably two
hundred OF the old veterans in the city.
Of these not over $50 are delegates or
nave a right to vote in the encampment
but the total number in attendance al
ways exceeds the number of delegates.
Every one of the 70 posts in the State
is said to be represented.
In addition to the veterans. who are
mere, there are fully two hundred
ladies, members OF the two orders. the
Woman's Relief Corps and the Ladies
OF the q. A. r. These two orders also
held their meetings to-day In onnec

This morning, before Judge H. C..
Heryey in the Circuit Court, one of the
most important steps in the mandamus
proceedings for possession of the Office
OF the Board of Public Works will be
taken. Judge Heryey has decided all
the points in the case, favorable to the
Democrats, with the exception of one.
The exception is a question of fact as
to whether or not the Second Branch
had legally adjourned before the early
morning joint session at which Coun-
Gil filled the city Offices.
1t is this issue of fact that a jury will
be asked to determine. IF the jury
finds that the Second Branch had taken
a legal adjournment, as the Republi-
cans contend, the writ of mandamus
will issue; if not, the case will prob
ably end, unless the Republicans de-
eide to take an appeal.
The matter vas mentioned in court
yesterday morning, when the Republi-
cans sought to change the method of
drawing the jurors. The usual plan is
for the Sheriff to select twenty names
from the panel. The Republicans ask
ed that the names of the entire panel
OF thirty be placed in a box or hat,
and that some person be appointed by
the court to draw twenty There
was no objection to this method, and
it will be followed this morning.
OF the thirty jurors in the panel, it
is understood that seventeen are Re-
publicans and thirteen Democrats. The
jurors will probably be examined as to
their bias or prejudice, and it is just
possible that it may be necessary to
draw another panel before a jury is Sc
cured. Each side will strike four from
the list,
There will be a mass of evidence.
and it is altogether likely that there
will be contradictory testimony. All
the members of Council have been sub
poenaed.
