A Message Of Good Cheer.


With malice toward none and char
ity for all, \ we extend to all mankind
our sincere wishes for greater pros
perity, health and happiness. To all
those who buy, to all those WHO build,
and to all those who sell, we wish you
success. Perchance you are COMPETE
tor-we wish you we'll. We believe
we are all entering upon an era Of
more modern merchandising better
values, fewer losses, greater econo-
mics, a larger equivalent for the dol
lar, and therefore have right TO look
for greater and grander successes than
have heretofore been attained. With
the almost phenomenal growth Of
wealth and buying power Of our coun-
try, many men and more modern meth
DDS In the selling of merchandise will
surely develop. Retail dealers will
buy more and more for cash, growing
constantly keener and keener in their
buying and study of economy. And,
with very few exceptions, all sellers
OF goods, regardless Of place or meth
cd, will give honest goods with hon.
est representations and an ever grow
ing equivalent for the dollar.
Certainly this must be the method
of every successful institution of every
kind. If grocer, druggist or restau-
rant, let us think as well of our neigh
Dor competitor across the street as il
he was our banker. Let us rise above
the petty jealousies and differences
that so often grow out of competition,
SO that in the evening of the days
work our competitor will be as well
come to break bread at our table as
would be our doctor or our banker.
We will then have high regard for
every honorable and reliable dealer,
and even though many times we diff
fer in our opinions we bear no i'll will
against any one who is our competitor.
We solicit trade from all, promising
every one the very best service which
the very best facilities can give. We
can't do more and we will never do
less. Now Xmas is coming and we
are going to be ready to serve the
good people of Union City with the
daintiest of fruits, nuts, candies,
cakes, etc, in fact every thing that is
good to eat, also your drugs, and of
the best the market will afford, at the
lowest possible prices. We can only
convince you by your calling on as
and getting our prices. We are locat-
ed just east of M. & o. r. r., second
building. Will deliver your Xmas
orders. j. w. COLE

Capped ProlectiIes,

1t Is a curious fact that armor pierc
Ing shells having soft metal caps on
the point are more effective than those
not so provided. The way in which
the cap acts is not well understood. A
needle may be driven into a board
with a hammer when it is thrust
through cork, whereas it would
break off unsupported. Some have
thought that the soft cap supports the
hard point Of the projectile in the
same way. A British naval architect
who has been studying tie mutual &C
ton Of projectils and armor says that
q shell frequently fails because a very
small piece Of the point Is forced back
Into the mass and splits 1t. A large
piece Is then similarly forced back
and so on. The main advantage of the
soft cap. this writer thinks, is to pre-.
vent such splitting. Caps are inef.
fective at low vslocities, but would
probably be less 10 If made larger.

KEPT PENN TREATY
INDIANS SAID TO HAVE PRE-.

Westerner Declares He Has Il In His
Possession and Has Offered to
Present Il 10 the City Of
PHILADELPHIA.

What is represented to be the In
dian copy Of the treaty Of friendship
between William Penn and the In
dams, made under the elm tree, haa
been offered to Wilfrsd Jordan, cura
tor of Independence hall, for inspec
don, and he Is daily expecting its ar.
rival from Frederick M. Hans, Lone
STAR" Indian scout, Of Kansas, the
Philadelphia Inquirer says.
Whether 1t can stand the fire of his
torical criticism to which 1t will be
subjected from Curator Jordan 70
mains to be seen, but he said that he
would feel chargeable with inexcus
able neglect as Q city official If he
had not met the stfer with a warm in
terest and anxiety to give the owner
every fair opportunity to prove the
commences Of the relic. Incidentally
1t raises the question: Where is the
white mans original copy of the Penn
treaty" If there was one, if 1t was moi
eft OF record only In the recording an
gels book?
Mr.. Jordan said there was no reasos
to doubt the good faith of the mar
Who offered the Indians copy of the
treaty at any rate. whether 1t turns
out to be a copy or only the Indians
original chronicle of the event or 8
reproduction of that chronicle after
the original wore out.
The possessor In Frederick M. Hans
or Lone STAR" Q Kansas plainsmar
and Indian scout His own account Of
the matter sent 70 Philadelphia is az
follows:
1T is little piece Of buckskin
eight inches BY twelve inches, old
soiled with long handling, the figures
half effaced. It was given to Freder
lex M. Hans BY oas of the squaws o.
Sitting Bull. It seatains a leahess
tree, which is said to record the fall
a the time Of the making of The
treaty. Every dot among the feet o.
the figures represent q year S ice the
treaty was made. In 1878, when Hanl
obtained possession Of 1t, 1t contained
1876 dots. Sitting Bull was the chic
medicine man Of the Sioux and keep
Or OF the records Of the nation. Til,
Sioux tribe was largely recruited from
the Lenni Lenape Indians, with whom
Penn made the famous treaty. Other
Indian chronicles In Hans possession
give the account Of the rise Of the
Sioux. They say a mighty warrior
arose and cut the threats Of 100 MI
amis. Sioux, meaning, according t.
this Interpretation, sut-throat warriors
deserted the Lenni Lenapes, and they
carried with them the Penn treaty
chronicle on buckskin, which was
handed down to Sitting Bull"
I'VE will see what 1t is, at any rate, ;
said Curator Jordan, "and II it's what
1t purports to DO Philadelphia is the
place for it. Mr.. Hans has had some
negotiations with the Smithsonian in

they have ever had 1t under careful
examination or not we do not know

tion and has reopened the Cancer In
stitute at % Third street. in most
handsome quarters that occupy two
floors of new brick building.

ley practiced in his profession as
cancer specialist in Los Angeles.
Twelve years ago he came to San
Francisco, where he has been contin-
uously ever since The cancer cures
accomplished by DR.. S. r. Chamley are
wrought without the use of a knife
and without pain. Hundreds of testi-
monials attest to the cures. Patients
have been treated from all parts of the
world. many of whom have journeyed
TO this city to be cured, having learned
by testimonials of the successes that
have been achieved and having been
DESTROYS of lasting relief, under con-
ditions unattended with danger.
DR.. Chamley says that he has been
practicing as cancer specialist the
greater part of his life. He is now
fifty-seven years old. In the many
years in which he has been curing
cancers he has probably had a wider
experience than any other practitioner
in this special line. At the Cancer
Institute at 25 Third street there are
hundreds of cancers that have been
eradicated, which describe, collective
~, every form of the dread disease.
The treatment that is given is briefly
summed up by DR.. Chanley.
1T consists of applications and in
ternal remedies. In a period of thirty
seven years, during all of which 1 have
been engaged constantly in this work,
