Don't forget that other folks will take advantage of this ?aie. Setter come in to-day?.nay-be the very Suit you'd piek will be gone to-morrow. This is the Clearing Out Sale of all Winter Suits and Overcoats, and people are certainly taking advantage of the saving. We were hardly prepared for the big trade we had last Saturday, and, although we kept a great many of yon waiting a long time, we did the best we could. We know, however, that you won't regret the time wasted for you were well paid. You saved twenty cents on every dollar that you spent here. ' Our trade so far during this Twenty Per Cent Discount Sale h&s been larger, far larger, than any sale of the kind we 1 have ever had. It amply illustrates the quality of our offer- \ ings and the confidence the trade has in our statements. $5.00 Suits and Overcoats now $4.00 10.00 Suits and Overcoats now $8.00 ,^ \ 15.00 Suits and Overcoats now 12.00 \ . * ' \ ' .

The D?mocrate of the House greatly disappointed the Republicans by hold ing a perfectly harmonioua party cau cus last Tuesday, the action of which waa confined to the adoption of the resolution reported by the committee appointed at the December caucus. It would have been Bimply playing into thehandB 01 the Republicans for the Democrats in caucus to have attempted to make a party platform. It will be ' more than two years before the next | Democratic National Convention will I be held, and it will be the duty of the I delegates to that convention to forma- ! late the platform upon which the party I will stand in the next national cam- I paign. The Congressional campaign ia much nearer, and the first duty of Democrats is to see that a Democrat is I returned from every District now rep- i resented by a Democrat and from j enough Districts now represented by I Republicans to give the Democrats control of the next House?a task that i is likely to be made easier by the j Roo&ovelt administration and the Re publican majority in Congress. That Mr. Roosevelt can dodge upon ! occasion was shown when he turned j Schley's appeal over to Attorney Gen- | oral Knox and asked that he go over it and make a recommendation. Mr. Roosevelt may regard this as a very clever way for him to evade responsi bility, bnt the- people will hold him, and not Attorney-General Knox, re sponsible for what action betakes upon the appeal of S?hley. Rear Admiral Schley isn't losing any sleep over whe t Mr. Roosevelt may do with his appeal. Accompani:; l by Mrs. Schley he left Washington Friday for Chicago, where the ovation he received down South will be duplicated. Judging from Schley's talk, it will not be possible to axcel it in earnest enthusiasm and good will. And the people everywhere feel Lhe same way. Representative Stephens, of Texas, las introduced a bill providing for the Konsolidation of Oklahoma Territory vnd the Indian Territory into the State >? Oklahoma. Senator Bacon gave the Republicans i few sharp whacks in a speech against ;ho Philippine tariff bill, for their "hot laste" in pressing the bill and for their ifforts to withhold from the Senate in formation relating to the Philippines. Representative Lever, of South Caro ina, is the youngest man in the House, ind he looks muoh younger than he eally is. He is twenty-seven, but he vould have no trouble in passing for wenty, if he wished to do so. "He does t without vishing sometimes, as a lit tie story that haa just become public shows. It happened when Mr. Lever first took his seat. The House official, who gives notice to those not entitled to the privilege of the floor to getont just before the opening of the sessions, had noticed a boyish-looking fellow for several days who didn't ?v.y the slightest attention to the notice. Fi nally the official approached Amos Cummings, remarking in a nettled tone: "If that boy don't get out of hero before 12 o'clock I'll throw him out." "Whatboy?" atved Cummings. ; "Sitting ovoi there,1' replied the offi I cial, pointing to Mr. Lever. "I wouldn't I throw lu m out." said Cum min jib "Why I not?" 'Becauao, you might low your job. F.e ia a member of the House." A delegation of TexanB made ah argument before the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors last week in favor o an appropriation for the con struction of a ship canal from the mouth jf Sabine and Neeohes Rivers to SaKne Pass, a project that has been strongly endorsed by all the commer cial organizations in Texas. It is to be hoped that the Senate will get the facts asked for in the resolu tion adopted calling on the Secretary of War for full information as to the number of vessels, ownership, and cost of the United States transport system. If it does, somebody will have a lively time, as there is little doubt that there have been some scandalous things con nected with the transport service. Perhaps Secretary Root hasn't known of them, and perhaps he has. At any rate several Senators? including Mr. Till'" ?an, have intimated on the floor of the Senate that thsy knew of them, and if Secretary Root fails to supply the information they may do so. Ex-Senator Faulkner, of W. Va., when asked] what he thought of the political outlook, said: "I think that it will not be very much longer before the pendulum will swing back and bring with it a return of the Democ racy to power. This will depend to a large degree on the conduct of the party in Congress. If, in their opposi tion to the Republicans, they adopt a course too radical to suit the solid business interests, they will not bo en trusted with the reins of government. After all, the people who have the say in determining party supremacy are those who control the finances of the country. The Democrats have a gol den opportunity but to gain the sup port of this class they must be conser vative." Henry F. Oxnard, president of the American Beet Sugar Association, who was before the House Ways and Means Committee to oppose removal of the tariff from Cuban sugar, denounced H. O. Havemeyer, head of the sugar trust, as the "fnstigator-in-chief of all this Cuban free sugar scheme." He also said that to encourage an increase in the production of Cuban sugar would result in bringing the American fann ers into competition with Chinese Coolie labor, which the Cuban sugar planters would get as soon as Cuba was an independent government. The delegates in Congress from New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma threat en to resign their seats if the Houbo does not pass the bills giving statehood to those Territories. * Democratic Senators are making the Philippine tariff bill the text for a gen eral raking over of the Republican Philippine policy, and the broadsides, are likely to grow warmer as the de bate goes on.

C. Genta? it gives ms pleasure to give to the public my high opinion of the value of your preparation known as Evans' Sarsaparilla. I have a cancerous affection of the face of some years standing which gave me no little concern. After I had given many other preparations for the blood a full trial, and had consulted several eminent physicians, I found myself not improved, my attention was called to your valuable preparation, known as Evans' Sarsaparilla, and t<* my delight one bottle completely removed the giowth, and I feel that every one should know of it. I can recommend Evans' Sarsaparilla in all skin and blood affections, whatso ever the cause may be. J N. HEMBREE, ' Ex.-Con. and N. P. GUT THIS OUT. A. .A. A A A A A A A A. A A. ^ A.A. A A A A.

J EVANS PHARMACY. > A Remedy You Can Bank On! F VANS' A ^SAFARI j ^a! THIS "agreeable preparation is [composed of the most valuable alterative, tonic and blood purifying vegetable remedies. It is made right here in your own Town by reliable Pharmacists, and if it wasn't a remedy that would be of great benefit to you it wouldn't be manufactured and sold by Evans Pharmacy. Evans' Sarsaparilla costs more to manufacture than any other Sarsaparilla on the mar ket, although it is put up in the same size bottle and sold at the same price. The dose is one-half that of any other Sarsaparilla, so by buying EVANS' SARSAPA RILLA you get twice as many doses for the same amount of money. Then you get a remedy that has been tried right here by people ?you know, and it has proved to be all that the manufacturers claim for it. One peculiar point about tais medicine is that it strengthens and builds up the system while it eradicates disease. gflTaken as a BLOOD PURIFIER, or for any of the troubles arising from an impure state cf the blood, it is, we believe, superior to any remedy on the market. It is a quick and per* manent cure. * TRY IT. Three bottles $2.75. Six bottles ?5.00. lA-iidLerson-i ?. O,
