IF you want some of the
Best Bargains You Ever Got in Your Life

From now until August st we want
to close out our line Of sprlng and sum-
mer dress goods, for two reasons: Ist. We
don't want to carry them over and have
money locked up in them that will not turn
end. Our store is small and running
over with goods, and we are compelled to
have the room, as fall goods have already
begun to come in.
For the above reasons we have not
made prices that will create just a little
talk and sell few patterns, but we have
made prices that will clean up every piece.
and do it quickly. So if you want first
choice, come at once. If you have no
money bring Chickens eggs or bees wax.

The rhumbe Of Thieves.

For the Bertillon system Of iden-
tihcation, we may apparently score
good point in the. report from
London of the arrest of four rogues
and Bertillon's theory assumes that
no two men are absolutely alike
that if you can put upon record all
the facts that fix mans individu-
atty, this will be a certain guide tc
hat mans identity. Applied in the
IT of. the detectives, this theory
,romised at one time more splendid
-esults than have been realized, but
seems to be working its way.
One of the points in the system
involves the impression made by the
hunrb upon any soft surface, say
wax. Upon the under surface Of
he end of the thumb you may OBJ
serve a maze of minute lines; anf
il held that these lines are dissirni-
ar in every person. In a Londor
eweler's shop a burglar had Lighted
his way with candle and left the
cardle behind him, and on the can
die left the impression of his thumb
At police headquarters they had ar
impression of the thumb of ever,
professional thief. and making Z
comparison they found their men
They knew the man and his associ-
ates, caught them all and recovered
portion of the stolen property.
Thus science helps the police
but it also educates the thieves, who
learn eventually not to leave befint
such certain ey;agrces OF :.,,..cir ider-
tity.

Labor at Panama.

Recent figures from the census bn
reau say that there are now more than
nine millions Of people Of the colored
race in the United States. Gen. Peter
G. Hams, who has had extensive ex-
perience in public works on a large
scale and has been member of the
Nicaragua canal commission and later
Of the Isthmian canal commission, is
earnestly in favor of the employment
of thousands Of the black men of the
Southern states in digging the water
way at Panama.
He believes they can endure the eli.
mate and will be exceedingly useful
in that enterprise, and he holds that
more Of the money paid for toll on that
channel between the Atlantic and the
Pacific will come back to the advan-
tage of this country in one way and
another If they are employed than II
gangs of coolies or West Indian labor
ers were sent to the isthmus. His
arguments will find many friends and
supporters. York Tribune.

An Unsolved Problem.

There are a good many problems
connected with the feeding of swine
that have not been solved. One of
these is why a certain combination Of
foods will give better results than
certain other combinations. Thus 1t
is discovered that skimmilk and corn
fed together give greater gains tnan
when fed separately. One hundred
pounds Of skimmilk has been fed to
a growing pig and five pounds Of gain
made from it. After that 100 pounds
of corn has been fed and a gain Of
ten pounds made with that. Then we
would naturally think that the feeding
of the two together would give fifteen
pounds of gain. But this does not
prove to be the fact. When these are
fed together the gain in weight Is
eighteen pounds instead of fifteen,
showing that three pounds was the re-
suit Of the combination. With pigs
as with other animals and as with
man a variety Of foods gives a better
result than one alone, even when the
one Is very evenly balanced.

I'VE win stand for the protective

I'VE will stand for the protective
tariff which has made this
land resound with the happy
music of the turning wheels.
Every time go out into the
great valleys of the Ohio and the Mis-,
sissippi, and think of the condition
that existed in these valleys and on
these hillsides only eight years ago,
as | went through the same country,
it seems to me that can hear in the
music of every wheel as it turns, in
the music of every spindle as 1t sings,
one great grand refrain for the mod
ern leader of the protective theory,
as it cries out to the wide, wide world,
William McKinley-for he was the
man.
I'VE have been doing tolerably well
with the finances Of the United States.
We have developed our industries so
fast, we have produced so rapidly,
that we have changed the great trade
balances that seemed about to pau.
perize us under the Democratic ad.
ministration, and year by year the in.
creasing wealth Of all the world rush.
ed into the American treasury.
year by year Europe pours her tri-
butte, the tribute to the policy and the
administration of the Republican
party. We are accommodating wealth
so fast that, give us but one more
decade of the same kind, and we will
not only be the creditor nation Of the
world, but we will have so much Of
the money of all the earth that no
nation will dare go to war with an
other nation without asking Americas
consent.
I'VE are doing tolerably we'll"
Upon the truth or falsity of these
statements the election Of 1904 will
largely turn. Is it true or not true
that the Republican party has done
tolerably well?
The answer must be, cannot fail to
be, in the affirmative.
Has the Democratic party ever
done as well? Never in all its his
tory.
Can the Democratic party do as
well? There is no reason to believe
it.

After they had assured him that II
was all mistake and that he would
not be harmed Mr.. Webb came up.
Then it was l learned that he was a
member of the whist club, and later,
that he was engaged to Ruth's Cousin
Alice, and had thus earned place in
the family album. His early appear
ance was explained by the fact that
he had taken what he supposed was
an accommodation train, with the idea
of stopping for Alice, and had discov-
cred too late that it was through ex.
press.
Well, the tangle was Strengthened

fix things up with Ruth's Cousin

didn't mind 1t bit, but noticed that
he kept at a safe distance, and not
