ed W. N. and J. @. Maloney, nephews
of the senior member of the firm operat-
ing the Eureka Flour Mills, and W. d.
Williamson, compose this concern.
Their premises are literally packed
with select assortments of dry goods,
notions, boots and shoes, groceries and
queensware, stoneware, provisions and
kindred household specialties.
Purchases are all made with sound
judgment as to the particular needs of
this community, trade affairs are man
aged on an economical basis, and wares
are sold at rock bottom figures. Each
season witnesses an expansion of their
aggregate trade.
The continued development of their
business necessitates additional room,
to be met by building an outlying
warehouse.
They are also heavy shippers of coun-
try produce, poultry and eggs, that
great market, NewYork, receiving their
shipments. During the Thanksgiving
and Christmas holidays a carload of
turkeys on each occasion was loaded
and sent there by this house.
Maloney Bros. & Co. constantly strive
to add effective features, the latest
proof of which IS the securing of the
exclusive agency for the famous Nc
Calls (NewYork) illustrated Magazine.
This is an elegant monthly publication
of some rs pages, the annual subscrip-
tion price for the entire twelve numbers
being only 80 cents. With each sub.
scription gift is made of any selected
set of patterns. Ladies' in the country

His premises, adjoining the Telford

As elsewhere indicated, Mr.. Campbell
is also interested in the Telford Flour

that numerous sales at small profits, in
the end, yield the best results,
Long experience and careful atten-
tion in purchase are two factors which
enable him to lay down just such goods
as this community require. He rightly
calculates that "goods we'll bought are
half sold, and by iudiciOus selection

is fostered by maintaining seasonable

Future Paint

The best "past" paint is the
paint which has worn down
evenly, leaving the surface
ready for repaintine without
the need of expensive scraping
and "burning-of."
The best present" paint is
the paint which is applied with
least labor, covers the most sur.

best when on.
The best future" paint is
the paint which lasts without
cracking or peeling, affording

Havana, Aug. 2O.-Half a dozen
highly prominent leaders of the Liberal
party have been taken into custody on
the charge of conspiracy against the
government and plotting to assass; mate

These events have shown that the
government is fully aroused to the ne
cessity of putting down not only the
open outlawry in western Cuba but
also of capturing and confining the al
legged leaders of this movement, who
were strongly suspected Of plotting the
assassination of the president and over
throwing the present government by
force. To that end the six members OF
the Liberal party were arrested.
The men arrested here are General
Carlos Garcia Nlez and his brother
Fausto. ex-Cuban consul at Bremen;

PICTURE THAT is BRIGHTER
City Not Destroyed but Badly Dam
aged-About 100 Dead.

Santiago de Chile, Aug. 90 = The
latest news brought in here by refu-
gees from Valparaiso contradicts some
of the first exaggerated statements
from there. but shows. however, that
the catastrophe was extremely severe.
Senor Gree, one of the refugees, re
lateS that the first shock in Valparaiso
was very prolonged. and threw the en-
tire city into indescribable panic. Peo-
pie crowded the streets and the
squares. crying and lamenting. The
first shock also threw down a number
of buildings. The second shock was
more severe and resulted in tn crum-
bling of most of the buildings in the
Almendral quarter.
Immediately after the second shock
the entire city was plunged into terri
tying darkness. This. however. did not
last long. for the scene of destruction
was soon Ut up by the fires which
broke out in this quarter The
light from the flames, Senior Grez
continues, came as welcome
relief to the darkness. The people were
in an extreme state of terror, many
believing that the end of the world
had come.
Among the buildings destroyed were
the Victoria theater. the Bellavista
railroad station and the Club de Sc
tembre Most Of the severe damage
was done on the low ground reclaimed
from the sea. The church of the
Espiritu Santo and the church Of La

buildings on Victoria street. were de

Impure Candy.

Beware of impure candy. Sugar in
candy quickly ferments after eating,
and if too much is eaten serious trou-
bles often result. Pure sugar dissolves
quickly in water and leaves a clear
liquid, affording an easy way of test
ing its purity. Drop a small piece Of
candy in a glass, and over it pour boil
ing water. Let it stand twenty-four
hours. If there is any foreign sub
stance in the candy a sediment will be
found in the bottom of the glass.-New
