“The Spanish minister feels
confident that he can connt upij
the courtesy’aud sense of justice
of the United S‘ates government
to enlighten public opinion upon
this subject.
“4As. to the cause of th is lamen

The Spanish minister reiterates
the assurance that his government
is reedy to submit the question t<
experts designated by the mari

Sencr Polo delivered the docu

self, the call had added interest
as an evidence of a renewal of
diplomatic negotiations this being
his first call; at the depart

Later Senor Du Bose, first sec

other call at the department or

FOR A PREMIU|¥I.
A Hand Sewing Machine to
The First Fifty.
SPLENDID DEPARTMENT
Visited by a ustler-Commer
cla| Reporter.
The first fifty customers who
purchase S2O worth ol goods
will be presented with a hand
some hand sewing machine, at
Bass Bros , & Co’s., store.
This offer was first made just
one week ago and alreadv a
number of these machines have
been secured by patrons of this
popular house.
The machine is all that is ad
vertised and is a handsome pre
mium on the amount that must
be purchased in order to secure
it.
It sews well, for this deponent
saw it in operation.
The coupon plan lias been
adopted, and, under this system
the purchaser buys his goods at
regular lowest cash prices,
taking a coupon for the amount
of each purchase. When the
amount of your purchase equals
S2O vou hand in your coupons
and secure the coveted premium.
From the machine exhibition
room I dropped in on Mr. Ben
ton Owens, in the shoe depart,
ment at Bass Bros, ACo’s. Now,
I pride myself that while I am
not an expert in drygoods, I do
know something about shoes.
And, right here, let me say by
way of introduction, that, while
I could write a page about the
Bass Bros., & Co’s, shoe depart
nent, I will not.
I found Mr. Owens at work
>rranging his new stock of Ox
'ords, stacks and stacks of them
fresh from Krippindorf’s—in all
-liapes, shades, toes, heels and
grades—from finer to finest. (I
went in early, knowing byexpe
ience that unless I did so I
>vould not get a whack at the
head of the shoe department.)
To a lover of fine shoes and
foot comfort, a visit to Bass’
md an hour among his Krippin
lorfs is a feast of sole and an in
step arching to perfection.
No great manufacturer has so
successfully studied the queenly
oot of the Southern woman,
aence the immense popularity
from one end of the Southland
o the other, of the Krippendorl
shoes,
Messrs. Bass Bros., & Co.,
know this, hence they were quick
o secure the Rome rights to this
famous make. In laces and but
oti, dainty yet durable, in all
hades and shapes they offer you
the acme of perfection in worn
ii and misses foot wear, when
hey give you just what you
vant, made by Krippendorf.
In this department .1 found
ither makes of ladies shoes. 1
dso found quite an elegant lim
of ladies bicycle boots and leg
gins—new goods just arrived
nd fresh for the opening sea
son.
There is an immense slock ol
hildren and infant shoes, and
another feature of this big shoe
department is the coni) lete line
»f shoe dressings carried.
You name your shade and
Benton Owens will do the rest;
he very latest in dressing is
called “chocolate,” and is for
the latest shade in fine shoes,
the chocolate.
But space forbids —though in
desisting today, I promise to de
vote a whole chapter to shoes in
a few days.
Yours shoethingiy,
“Kash.”
Too •
Inch Knife!
The use of the aurpeon’s knife is be
coming so general, resulting fatally
in such a large number of cases, as to
I occasion general alarm.
Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown,
South Dakota, writes; “About
three years ago, there came under
my left eye a little blotch about the
size of a small pea.
It grew rapidly,and
el ,4 shooting pains ran
* n every direction.
W • .wy I became alarmed
‘ t k and consulted a
good doctor, who
/QaR. \ pronounced it can-
if'Tuw er > and said that it
to/ X ‘ nust be cut out.
This I would not
J consent to, having
little faith in the
indiscriminate use of the knife. Read
ing of the many cures made by S. S.
S., I determined to give that medicine
a trial, and after I had taken it a few
days, the cancer became irritated and
began to discharge. This after awhile
ceased, leaving a small scab, which
finally dropped off, and only a healthy
little scar remained to mark the place
where the destroyer had held full sway.
A Real Blood Remedy.
I Cancer is in the blood and it is folly
toexpect an operation tocureit. 5.5.3.
(guaranteed purely vegetable} is a real
remedy for every
disease of the blood.
