I So IMMI After careful investigation we find thai the recent money panic, or what the Wall Street financiers call stringency, has depleted our bank accounts so much that we are compelled to either make some arrangements to raise money for the mainteinance of the business or take the inevitable consequences. And it being a fact that the banks would not let out money on mercan tile security, the only course left for us to do is to try to raise money through a special sale. A sale that will eclipse anything ever contemplated in this part of the State. Realizing as we do. TESACT OFMNE .s well as ourselves, we will endea ,-r to make it profitable for those who are able to take advantage of the enormous reduction we will make for this sale. This PANIC SALE will last only long enough to raise money to pay our debts s ny day. Therefore, we would urge all who wish to take advantage of this GREAT REDUCTION to come early and not to be left out. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF DEPENDABLE GOODS. We have about $20, - wor0 E 7.-. ect and up-to-date Merchandise, which is placed at your mercy. We will have no special price for our goods at this PANIC SALE. Worth, value and cost will not be considered, and you buy the goods at your own price. We need the money, a.nu uautot afford to dili-dali about the price or figure the loss; therefore we will not quote you prices in advance. In order to realize the enormous reduction at which our stock will be sold during this PANIC SALE your personal attendance is cordially invited. We need TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and if we sell that much in FIVE days the sale will close then and there, but if it takes three weeks to sell that much the sale will continue for three weeks or longer.

During this PANIC SALE r.o creditiwill be extended to any one, everything must be paid cash for, nor.will we exchange goods or return money under any circnm stances. The object of this sale and the prices for which goods will be sold would not permit us to do either, as much as we would like to be considerate to our patrons.

The Women Slaughtered the Victims For the Cannibal Feasts. Mrs. E. 'M. Duulop of .Auc.klaid. New Zealand, writes of the M3aor women: "The 'Maori woman can keep at will. She has practiced the art, which has formed an important part of her train ing. She weeps so genuinely and so copiously as to melt the heart of a sympathizing witness. The Maoris hold 'tnagis.' or weeping parties, to mourn their dead, and in these gather ings the women play a conspicuous part. . While weeping they utter a low, mournful cry, which has a very weird effect when produced by a number of voices. The mourners sit in groups, with their heads partially covered, giv ing forth their monotonous wailing and shedding copious tears. "The M1aori woman of past ages al-' most excelled her lord in savagery. On the return of a triumphant war party they usually brought home a number of prisoners and slaves. It was the privilege of the women of the tribe to fall upon these, slaughtering them in preparation for the cannibal feast which follc wed. The women bore the painful ceremony of the tattoo without shrinking. Spiral marks were cut into the flesh of their chins, lips and faces; a soot made by a peculiar method was rubbed into the wounds. causing an in delible blue-black stain. "The Maoris. even in their former state, treated their women with a cer tain amount of consideration, although the lot of the female slave was very hard and often ended in her being served up as a dainty dish to appease the appetite of her voracious lord, who would kick away the baskets of vege table food presented to him by his wives as a signal that he required the tender flesh of a slave girl." There is something about Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup that makes it different from others, as it causes a free yet geutly action of the bowels through which cold is forced out of the system. Ac the sametime it heals irri attion and allays inflammation of the throat and lungs. It is pleasant to take Children like it. Contaius no opiates nor narcotics. Sold by W. E. Brown & Co.

How Boston and Providence Battled In the League In 1884. Probably one of the grandest series of baseball games played by National league clubs was that between the Bostons and the Providence Grays in 1884. The Bostons had won the cham pionship of 18&3, and it was the am bition of Providence cranks. who lived only forty miles away from the Hub, to wrest the laurels away from the Bean Eaters. Every game that was played between the clubs was at tended by immense crowds, and the excitement was at white heat. The first game of the series in 1884 was one of sixteen innings and result ed in a tie. the score standing I to 1. The pitchers were Charley Radbourne and .Tim Whitney. and 10.000 persons saw the battle. The next day Provi dence won by a score of 2 to 1 In nine innings, and Charley Sweeney struck out:'nineteen Boston batsmen. Of the first eight games Boston won five and Providence three. When It came time to meet for the four final struggles the Providence team had won every series from the other league clubs and wanted to win the series from the Bostous too. Radbourne ac cordingly was assigned to pitch in all four games on four successive days. ie was 'in such maguiltent form that in all of the games the Bostoris were beaten and scored the sum total of one run. One of the games lasted eleven innings. It was played in Boston and was finally von by the Rhode Island ers by a score of 1 to 0. Arthur Ir win, who was the shortstop for Provi dence. drove a long fly toward the right field fence, and the ball went through a hole between the boards. It was a four bagger and decided the game. Radbourne's wonderful pitching in those days will never be forgotten by those who saw him perform. He went into the box game after game and pitched for nineteen consecutive con tests. It was his remarkable twirling that was instrumental in helping Prov idence to win the pennant that year. Sweeney jumped the club In the mid die of the season. and Rad went along single handed. One feat that was the talk of the baseball world In 1883 was his pitching in an exhibition game at Trenton. The home club would not allow Providence to play with the regulation league ball and In sisted upon substituting another of lighter weight. Radbourne, however, accepted the latter ball and proceeded to strike out every man who came to the bat until one man had been re tired in the sixth inning. Then a play er fouled the ball, which had not been done before. The pitching distance then was forty-five feet from the home plate. When you see the name Rydale in an advertisement or on a remedy it is a sure sign that the remedy advertised is compounded from the prescription of a specialist. A specialist in a certain disease knows more about and is better fitted to treat that disease than unyone else, and that is the aeason why the Rydale remedy never fails to relieve. and so often cure the troubles for which they are recommended.

E Brown & o. THE SIX HUNDRED. Incidents of That Mad Ride to Death at Balaklava. Of that mad but heroic charge a hun dred incidents are preserved-thrilling, humorous, shocking. The Cornhill Magazine tells of a man of the Seven teenth lancers who was heard to shout, just as they raced in upon the guns, a quotation from Shakespeare, "Who is there here would ask more men from England F' The regimental butcher of the Seven teenth lancers was engaged in killing a sheep when he heard the trumpets sound for the charge. He leaped on a horse. In shirt sleeves, with bare arms and pipe in mouth, he rode through the whole charge, slew, it is said, six men with his own hand, and came back agtin, pipe still in mouth! A private of the Eleventh was under arrest for drunkenness when the charge began, but b-roke out, followed his troop on a spare horse, picked up a sword as he rode and shared in the rapture and perils of the charge. The charge lasted twenty minutes, and was ever before such daring or such suffer ing packed into a space so brief? The squadrons rode into the fight number ing GT3 horsemen, but their mounted strength when the fight was over was exactly 105. It was all a blunder, but It evoked a heroism which made the blunder itself mnagnificent. And as long as brave deeds can thrill the imagination of nen the story will be remembered of how Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, Into the mouth of hell Noble six hundred! When you have'tried everything you ever heard of for that bad case of dys pepsia without receiving any or very relief. and have about made up yoar mind that you rease is a hopeless one, don't give up. There is a remedy for just such chronic cases, one that has prepared especially for cases of Indi gestiot and Stomach trouble that falied to yield to other treatmeut. It is Bar ney's Compound. The prescription was written by a Washington. D. C. stomach specialist and will relieve that soreness ir. the stomach and overcome catarrhal or mucous condition of the stomach and ir.testines very quickly. As a last res rrt give Barney's Compound a trial. W. E. Brown & Co. A Fairy Tale. Dear little Maudie awoke about 2 o'clock the other morning and asked matmma to tell her a fairy tale.

It did me more good than aything I ever found and my health was good all last summer. W. E&. Brown ABOARD A MAN-OF-WAR. Life Largely Made Up of Scrubbings, Regulations and Inspections. The day's programme aboard a man of-war is calculated to make the boy who wants to run away to sea sit up and think twice. It varies somewhat according as the ship is in port or at sea and under different commands. but In any case, from 5 o'clock in the morn Ing till 7:30 at night, it is a rather strenuous round of scrubbings and drills. The recruit realizes very soon that the expression "shipshape" means a good deal. Saturday morning is a tremendous cleaning time, called "field day," which is followed by a half holiday in the afternoon, and on Sunday morning the captain himself inspects his ship from keel to truck. The marine band is sta tioned just below on the hurricane deck, and the bluejackets stand on the port side of the quarter deck and the marines on the starboard, all ready for inspection. But life isn't all scrubbings, regula tions and inspections. On the larger ships the government furnishes ath letic supplies, and each man-of-war has her champion boxer and baseball and football teams. These teams are managed or supervised, at least, by officers, and many an ensign or lieu tenant who has won his "N" at the Naval academy plays shoulder to shoul der with his bluejackets. Such fa miliarity would have scandalizel old Commodore Porter beyond words.-St. Nicholas. Are you having trouble with yonr kidneys?

One of the greatest hardships suffer ed by men who run elevators in the tall office buildings downtown is the bad effect it has on their eyes. The cars ire run at a high rate of speed, and, as the men have to look straight ahead of them most of the time, their eyes soon feel the strain of the con stant motion. "l've worked in the subway," re marked one of these elevator men, "and I thought that was pretty bad, but it isn't a patch to the way my eyes feel after a day's work in these cars. if you ever ru across an ele vator man who seems unusually bad tempered toward the close of the busi ness day, just look at his eyes and you will be ant to forgive him.
