SAY.PHELAN,

How in thunder is it your Tea ana Cor- fee tastes so much different and so much nicer than what we can buy elsewhere? (The above was a ques- ton put to us the other evening", We'll, old man, my answer is: Be- cause it's fine quality we sell and we always pay attention to the quality when we are purchasing our stocK. You see. we do all our own buying and we certainly know the good from the other kind But, old man, how III thunder is it you haven't been using our Tea and Coffee lately: Well. you see. we moved out quite a distance and we found it too far away to come to the center. But I have resolved benceforth to drink your Tea and CoI- fee even if we move to Harlem
 There's no use in talking. there Is nothing so disagreeable at the table as bad-tasting Tea or Coffee. and noth- inc 80 refreshing, bracing and agree able as a cup or two of nice tasting Tea or Coffee-I mean the kind you sell. Thanks. old man, thanks. And he went his way feeling happy. les. we can safely bet one million dollars to one cent that gentleman felt 10,0D times more happy than some of those politicians who were to get positions from the new administration, but got left. Say. did you ever have that mean. spiteful, disagreeable feeling and couldn't possibly forgive those who were the cause Of your predica- ment? Well, if you are fixed that way or ever get that way. just, drink our celebrated nice tasting Tea twice a day and our fresh roasted Coffee in the morning and mark the change.

embarkation Of Spanish emigrants

amount Of money was paid for this
work. This is said to explain why the

Watertown, S. ID. Aug. 4.-The South

regular army maneuVerS. This decis-
ion was made by the commissioned Of
ficers of the guard in a meeting with
the adjutant general at headquarters
in this city, and In place of the trip to
the regular army post it was decided
to hold an encampment on the state
camp grounds on the shore of Lake
KampeSka, near Watertown, August 8
to l6
Officers and men have been planning
for weeks on the trip to the regular
army post and the participation in ma
neuverS there and the abandonment OF
it is disappointment to all, but the
trip had to be abandoned on account
of the expense. The recent session of
congress included in the regular army
appropriation bill 100000 for holding
camps of concentration of the regular
army and militia at different points In
the United States. South Dakota was
allotted for these purposes $4,000, to be
divided as follows:
Seven thousand dollars for Transport
tation, $4,000 for pay, and $1,000 for sub
sistence.
AT the time the apportionment was
made to the different states it was be-
lieved the railroad companies would
transport troops to Fort Riley and re-
turn at the usual rate for this class
of business, l cent per mile. allowing
the usual amount of baggage. AT a
meeting of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, held after the apportionment
was made to the different states, it was
decided to charge az cents per mile and
to charge the regular excess baggage
rates on all tentage and camp equip
age, notwithstanding the fact that each
soldiers personal baggage would not
exceed fifty pounds per man, and there
was, or should have been. at least 100
pounds per man to apply on the camp
equipage.

ASSAULTED THE WRONG MAN.
Abe Moffitt, in Jail at centerviIle, the
Recipient of Much Sympathy.

Centerville, S. D., Aug. 6.-Consider-
able sympathy is being expressed for
Abe Moffitt, who is in the county Jail
awaiting trial on the charge of as
saulting Thomas Brady with a danger
Gus weapon on public street at Ber-
esford.
At the time of the assault there was
great mystery as to the motive, as
Brady and his assailant were entire
strangers. 1t now develops that Mof-
fits assault upon Brady was a clear
case of mistaken identity, and no one
is more sorry for the mistake than
Moftitt who takes the matter very
much to heart and who recently at
his throat with a razor. Moff1t has de-
clared he will never be taken to the
penitentiary; that he will kill himself
before submitting to the disgrace OF
being convicted felon.
Only a few weeks before getting into
the difficulty Moftitt started black
smith shop near komstad. He ap-
peared to be a peaceable man and made
friends among the people of the vicin-
ity. During the day he attacked Brady,
another party, who was stranger in
Beresford and who is described as hav-
ing lost hand and had an iron hook
on his arm in place of the hand, be-
came enraged at Moffitt and twice at
tackled him. The last time the crippled
stranger struck him in the face with
the iron hook, cutting a cash over the
eye that came near proving fatal.
Smarting under the injury done him,
partially blinded by the injury to his
eye and probably rendered temporarily
insane by the pain from his wound.
Moffitt searched through the crowd for
the man who had struck him, and. mis-
taking Brady for the man, assaulted
him with a knife
Mof1itt has a wife and several chill
dren. His wife is standing nobly by
him during his trouble, and on several
occasions has visited him at the county
Jail. Friends of Moftitt have interest
ed themselves in his behalf and will
do everything possible to secure his
acquittal by the jury which tries him.
