TO NY FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS.

l am selling goods at the lowest
prices possible to be made on
strictly cash basis, and find it i'm
possible to hold up and give any
credit.
I have, therefore, fully decided to
adopt the "Spot Cash" system. I
will reduce the price on goods when
possible.
Please don't ask credit, and thus
force me to refuse.
Yours, anxious for cash and bar
ter trade. I. j. Lowry,

CONNECTIONS FROM GRAIN.
Wheat and Malt Used In the Manu-
facture of Candy.

A manufacturing plant in New Jer-
sey, formerly used as a MANILA paper
mill, is now operated by Il corporation
engaged in the unique industry of max
ing cOnfectiOns from wheat and malt.
about the last materials in the world
one would expect to find in candy.
In the earlier stages of the process
the grain is famed, ground and mixed
in proper proportions. Then it is cook
ed to a mash, from which a thin sirup
is squeezed by hydraulic presses and
conducted to a great iron cvapOratOr.
Thence the sirup is carried in pipes to
a vacuum pan. Here it is vigorously
stirred and further evaporated. The
thickcned sirup is drawn off into huge
shallow tin pans, where it is cooled
aDd hardened. Plain or favored with
peppermint. the mass is a rich golden
brown IN color. Combined with choco-
late it is dark as the familiar caramel
in the candy shops.
When batch of goods is needed for
the market, the stock in the pans is
broken into pieces and put into Il boiler
surrounded by steam jacket. 1t is
reduced by heat to the consistency of
tafIy at an old fashioned candy pull.
Skilled workmen shape the mass into
long strips that lie like golden snakes
on a board table.
They are fed to a cutting machine, a
noisy little monster with an Unsuitable
appetite for sweets. You could almost
cover the machine with n hat, yet it

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls CatarIh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitut;onal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

FlNICKY TURKISH LADIES.

One of these fastidious ladies was
talking to small niece the other day
who had just received a present of
beautiful doll from Paris. The child
presently laid the doll on the lady's
lap. who was Mortified and ordered the
child to take it away. AS the little girl
would not move it and no servant was
near, and the lady would be defiled by
touching a doll that was brought from
abroad, the only thing she could think
or was to jump up and let the doll fall,
which broke to pieces. The same lady

EDITOR STOREY'S NOTION.
Theory on Which He RENTED "A
Fine and Raised n Salary.

Il was slashing copy on old StOrey'S
Chicago Times many years ago" said
one of the guests at a reunion dinner.
I'VE had correspondent in an Illinois
town who simply would nc. schedule
his matter, but as he generally sent
good stuff we let him run on, slashing
his stuff to suit the exigencies of the
night. Besides, his stuff always sug
geSted good headlines, and that was
one of Storey's hobbies.
"On one occasion the correspondent
sent up about 700 words which went
into 100, with nothing over. On the 100
words | constructed a headline which
was right up to the mark. The next
day l was instructed to tell the man
who made out the checks for the cOun-
try correspondents to knock s. off the
correspondents pay.
when he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
Kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because the
fool headline over the item made by a
fool telegraph editor had infuriated the
man whose name was mentioned in the
dispatch and brought on a fight be-
tween him and the correspondent, the
result of which was that the CORE
spondent was fined 50 in the police
court.
Mr.. Storey was n very just man
when you got at him the right way.
He instructed the cashier to send the
correspondent the amount of the line
and raised my salary because the head
line l wrote had caused a row. That
was his way of encouraging a head
line writer. New York Sun.

city is now on Ale with Harry Christie.
This print shows that the viaduct on
Thirty-sixth street will start at the south
line OF street and extend to the center
OF the block between c and ID streets.
There will be two spans OF 100 feet each,
one span of 100 feet. one OF sixty feet,
three of sixteen feet each on the north.
two OF sixteen feet each on the south. thus
making 4S2 feet In spans. The approaches
will be 400 feet in length. Work on this
bridge will begin as soon as the frost Is
out of the ground.
Between Thirty-third and Forty-second
streets some twenty odd tracks will be
laid for switching, storage and repairing.
At Forty second and G streets a brick
roundhouse containing twelve stalls and q
turntable will be located.
While no depot is marked on the plans on
| file II is understood that this will come
later. when the main portion OF the I'M
provements have been made.
The proposed connection between the
Northwestern and the Union Pacific lines
| is shown. This line will run just north
