That is one Of the SmarteSt
things that was ever uttered.
If you do not advertise in the
Summer-if you do not push the
ball at ALT wilg stop. If you do
not advertise in the busy season,
business will go on for certain
time at slow rate of speed. But
if you want to get over a good deal
of ground in short time, you had
better push it along lively.
The best thing to push it with
is good liberal advertising in the
best paper you know of. A pecul-
lar thing about the road to business
success is that it runs uphill-if
you stop pushing your ball it will
roll down..
There is no such thing as stand

GENERAL SMITH RECEIVED
NO ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON
Orders From His Immediate Superior.
General Chaffee,
tBv the Associated Press. !

Washington, April 30.-It is said at
the resolution proposed by the Military
Affairs Committee of the House as TO
the nature of the instructions sent to
Gen. Jacob Smith from Washington for
his guidance in the Samar campaign
will be very brief. According to the of
ficials no orders on this subject were
sent to Gen. Smith from Washington and
the officer acted entirely under the in
structions of his immediate superior,
Gen. Chaffee.
It is also declared that Gen. ChafFee
was not instructed from Washington as
to the kind of warfare to be Waged in
Samar The nearest step in that dircc-
tior was the republication as a guide
for the army of General Order 100, the
department taking this means of calling
attention to the fact that the order is
still in force.
If the court martial now trying Gen.
Smith accepts the view that this order
is in as full force now as when it was
promulgated in the days of the Civil
War then it is predicted here at the Gle
partment that Gen Smith will rely fer
his acquittal upon article 80 of that or
der, which authorizes a suspension of
all rules of civilized warfare and re-
taliation where the enemy acts in a
similar manner.

When the committee of operators and

general public as much at sea on the
situation as before negotiations began.
Not a scrap of official or authoritative
information was obtainable to show
what progress if any had been made TO-
wards a settlement
The operators, however, seemed in a
happy frame of mind. Nor did the
miners seem in any degree downcast and
the consensus of opinion among out
siders was that some progress had beer
made towards an amicable settlement
