Square Deal for Chinese.

Washington, June 22.-Chineee
immigration to this country and the
execution of the Chinese exclusion
laws, constituted the principal topic
of discussion at today's meeting Of
the cabinet. The president made it
clear at the meeting today that he
vas determined the Chinese should
have fair treatment, under the law,
whenever they applied for admission
to this country at any port. Secrs-
tary Hay will take action on behalf
of this country to correct any mis-
apprehension that may exist in China,
az to the harsh enforcement of the
Chinese exclusion laws. There is no
disposition to exclude from the coun'
try any Of the classes Of Chinese who
are exempt from the operation Of the
exclusion laws.
Secretary Metcalf pointed out that
the United States trade with China,
in cotton goods alone for the ten
months of the present fiscal year had
aggregated S21,ooo,OOO as against
100000 for the previous fiscal year,
He hoped this trade would not be
disturbed through any misunder-
standing and expressed the belief
that it would not be.

Huge Task.

It was huge task, to undertake the
cure of such bad case of kidney di-
sease, as that Of G. F. Collier, of Chero-
kee, Ia., but Electric Bitters did it. He
writes: ssMy kidneys were 50 far gone
I could not sit on chair without a
cushion; and suffered from dreadful
bacsac1e, headache and depression. In
Electric Bitters, however, I found a
cure, and by them was restored to per-
feet health. I recommend this great
tonic medicine to all with weak kidneys,
liver or stomach" Guaranteed by The
Kaufman Drug CO., druggist; price SOC.

So great has been the demand for the
goods advertised in our great One Dollar
Bargain Sale that we have decided to con-
tract for big lots of merchandise in order
that we may be enabled to continue the sale.
These goods have been bought from the best
bargain centres Of two continents; bought
close for cash and selected with an eye sim
gle to the demands Of the trade OF this seq
fion. We ha~o added only very small profit
and we feel safe in saying that there are no
such bargains to be had anywhere:
You may read Of Fire Sales, Reduction
Sales, Discount Sales, Bankrupt Sales Re-
modling sales and Removal Sales, but they
all look like thirty cents compared with the
Greatest Dollar Sale.
