DANIEL BEALL BUYS
WILSON HARDWARE

Rumor has it that D. W. Beall will
enter commercial lines in Lexington
shortly.
This keen business man is a reacher-
out for trade and the town Is to be-
congratulated should Mr.. Beall decide
to become the head Of another drawing
card for Lexington. He is an all
around store manager, and whatever
specially he may embark In win have
at its helm one who knows how, where
and when to buy.
His circle of acquaintanceship ex-
tends to the corners of Yaxoo Carroll
and Holmes, who look to Lexington
for matters mercantile and financial,
and the stripe of Daniel Beall is recog.
nized by all as business to the core
Since the above was simplexed, Mr.
Beall has purchased the Wilson Hard
ware Store, stock and building. and
the inventory is now being taken.
The health of Baxter Wilson had
reoched such stage that it was telling
on him managing the large business
he had built up in the many years he
has been before the hardware public
1t was on account of needed rest that
Mr.. Wilson sold out.
Daniel Beall can be depended on TO
keep the well-deserved reputation of
the old house up to its present high
standard, Mr.. Beall will take active
charge in few days, and would be
pleased to have all his old friends call
and see him at the Wilson stand.

Looks Like
A Miracle

An exchange from Nation, Ills,
gives an interesting account of a re-
markable experience of Mrs. Charles
Bills, Of 1912 Dewitt Ave-, that city,
who, after being cripple from rheu-
matism for several months says she
was able to get up and walk after three
days. treatment with L. : r. Cooper s
new medicines.
Continuing the article says: "Mrs.
Bills is well known in NATION and her
case is looked upon as one of the most
startling that have yet been credited
to Cooper's preparations
An interview with Mrs. Bills is
quoted as follows: emo one knows
what I suffered from rheumatism and
it is indeed great relief to be able to
walk with ease and without my crutches
after being helpless for SO long. | had
heard many reports Of the wonderful
results that were accomplished with
these medicines but I could never be-
ieve that they were so effective unless
had tried them myself, after every
thing else failed.'
1t will be remembered that these are
the medicines that have been effecting
such remarkable results for sufferers
sall over the country of late. Several
cases of unusual nature have been re-
Sorted in Minneapolis.

CONTRACTOR FINED.
Ash Collection Service Subject of In
vestigation.

Complaints to the Commissioners about
ash collections in the District are quite
frequent. A few days ago the protests were
chiefly against ash collectors soliciting tips
from householders and their discourteous
treatment to the latter. Now complaints
are being made about the irregular collec-
tons of ashes.
j. S. TAFT of 1729 P street northwest, man
ager of the International Banking Corpora
ton, wrote the following letter to the Com
missioners today:
II suffer much inconvenience at my pri-
vate residence from the fact that the ashes
are neither regularly nor fully collected,
with the result that we are left with con-
siderable quantity on hand all the time I
shall be very glad If something can be done
to ameliorate this bad condition of af-
fairs"
Commissioner West, who has supervision
over the ash collections, at once referred the
complaint to John Twohey, superintendent
of the street cleaning department, under
whose personal direction the ash collector
works Mr.. Twohey has reported to the
Commissioner that Mr.. TAFT and the occu-
pants of adjoining houses informed him
that their ashes were not collected last Sat
urday. but that the collectors appeared on
the following Monday. They failed, how
ever, to remove the surplus ashes and refuse
that had been made between Saturday and
Monday. This action on the part of the COL
lectors is in violation of the contract, and
upon the recommendation of Superintendent
Twohey the Commissioners will impose
fine upon the contractor, which fine will be
deducted from his next pay voucher.
Commissioner West stated today that in
asmuch as 1t Is the Commissioners aim to
give the householders satisfactory service
In this respect. and in view of the fact that
the District pays literally for the work, he
Is determined that the contractors shall not
