Their Buying.

Gov. La Toilette of Wisconsin was de-
scribing the sharp business methods, the
intense economy of a certain company OF
usiness men, relates an exchange.
''Those men," be said, should live in
Duckwater. Perhaps it was from Duck
water that they originally came. They
have certainly all the Duckwater char
acteristics.
''What, Jon have never heard of Duck
waters Well, then, here is an illustration
for you of the character of the town.
"A drummer went to Duckwater ons
winter, and to the leading merchant, in
an effort to sell a line Of cotton goods,
he said:
These goods, sir, would make a tempt
ing line for a bargain day.
"'A bargain day?' said the merchant.
We have no bargain days in Duckwater,
SIR
"sNo bargain days in Duckwater? Why
is that?' asked the drummer, quite amazed;
Because replied the merchant. II
we had bargain days here, nobody would
buy anything on the other days, sir

Save the Babies.

INFANT MORTALITY is something fightfuL. We can hardly realize that Of
all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-five per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thhtyseven per cent, OF more
than onethrd, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of astmia would save a ma
jGny of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of thes
infantle deaths are occasoned by the use ofnarcotc preparations. Drops, tncture
and soothing syrups sold for childens complaints contain more or less opium, o.
morphine. They are in considerable quantities, deadly pisns. In any quantity
they stupefy rvtard circulation and lead to congesions sickness, death. Castori
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature o
Chas. 3. Fletcher. CasOda causes the blood to circulate properly opens tn
pores of the skin and anays fever.

WATER WORKS PURCHASE.
The Public Improvement Committee
Spends an Hour Considering the
Question.

The public improvement committee
of the Chamber of Commerce met in
the office of the city clerk at o'clock
D. m. Monday with majority of the
members present.
The meeting was called to consider
the proposition to purchase the water
works system at the price fixed by the
owners, American Pipe Manufactur-
ing Company, Of Philadelphia.
The matter was discussed at length
and exhaustively, but no definite de-
cision was reached and no action was
taken. It is said that the prevailing
sentiment was favorable to the pur-
chase CT the system, but when Mr..
E. c. Haynsworth proposed a resolu-
ton that in stated terms recommend
ed the purchase Of the system by the
city, it was not put to a vote. AT the
suggestion Of Mr.. Altamont Moses it
was agreed to refer the matter to the
Chamber of Commerce for considera-
ton.
At meeting will be called at an early
date and the whole subject will be
threshed out, and it is hoped that
some action Of a decided nature will
be taken either for or against the pur-
chase proposition.
