KEN UCKY FEUD. Toe Bakers fled Howards Used Dynamite Cartridges. BAKERS ON DEFENSIVE Dramatic Arrest of The Fight ing Mountaineers. Manchester, Cay County, Ky., June 16. —The arrest of the Ba kers was a dramatic affair. Col. Forrester’s soldiers pitched their camp in the stronghold of the Bakers in a guich on Laurel Creek Sunday night. At once mountaineers bsgan ridirg to the camp. Each car ried a 50 Winchester and two 45 Colts. From every by-path they trailed in till there were 75 assembled. Seme carried two Winchesters each. Then the Bakers began dropping in, but did not pretend to surren der. Nor was any attempt made to take them. Monday, after they had been assured that the soldiers could protect them from the Howards, Thomas Baker, the leader gave up his arms and call ed upon his brothers to do so also. All did it but Ans. He was left m in the mountains. This settled, the soldiers gave a drill. That pleased the mountain* eers. Ttoey lent horses, and the soldiers gave a cavalry drill. The entire bodyguard of the Bakers then volunteered to enlist in the army. At midnight Monday camp was broken and the march to the town began . The armed retainers stayed behind but scouts went ahead to see that nons carried word of the coming ahead. Thus the party ar rived a mile from town at day break without any in town know ing of it. After breakfast the sol d ers inspected their rifles and re loaded them. They then formed in close line (10 crowded close about each prisoner), and, sending a courier ahead, marched to town “I had had some of those ex plosive dynamite cartridges in the rifle that I shot Will White with, and it might be that one of them Went out at him. They do bad work. I have shot them into a tree and they tore it up pretty badly. They look like other car tridges, except that a bit of copper shows at the end. ” This statement was made to the correspondent by Thomas Ba ker, leader of his side of the Baker Howard fend. “The first we know of any trouble,” be said, “was when Jixr Howard waylaid our father and killed him. They say we ambusbed them the day before. It is not so. The Howards have trouble with everybody, and there are many people who might have done ths shooting. We heard the shooting from our house. It was just dinner time, and brother's dinner ball rang about the time of the volley. “We want no trouble with the Howards and have done nothing but in selfdefenee.” A NARRO.V ESCAPE.

This wide awake hustling firm of up-to-date business men found, some ten days ago that, owing to a mild winter, business had not been as good as it should have been —and in consequence they would soon be in need of funds. They had an enormous stock, but cash was needed worst and so the firm very promptly decid ed to lay the knife into prices and throw their stock on the market. Last Sunday morning they announced a “Money Raising Sale” and to show that the} meant business they specified gefods and quoted prices. The result has been exactly what the firm anticipated. Their store has been crowded from morning to night for six days. The crowds have flocked in, have examined goods and eager ly purchased, for the people know bargains when they see them. “Our sale for the past week has been all we anticipated,” said Mr. J. B. Watters yester day. “We are rapidly exchang ing bargains for cash and while we are raising the funds we needed in our business, we are at the same time clothing the multitudes.” “Our advertisement in The Hustler—C omme«• ci a 1 has brought us rich returns, and you can leave it stand, unchanged, for another week. It states what we are doing and that is all that we want it to state.” “We will continue the sale for a few days longer and then will promptly shut off the slaugh ter.” A word to the wise is sufficient —so look over the Watters & Co., add and govern yourself by what you see. Now is the time to join the push. Beware 01 the Knife. Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo., writes: "For six years I have been • sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all efforts of physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months’ constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a re moral of the gland. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S.S.S., and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago, I would have escaped years of misery and saved over fi.50.” This experience is like that of all who ■ufier with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only real blood remedy; it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently.

EVERY DRY BARGAIN DAY, Goods Going, as Advertised, • Regardless of Cost.’’ Every day is a “bargain day” at the big Bass Bros & Co’s, closing out sale. And every day witnesses jams that have never before been equalled in the mercantile histo ry of Rome. Even the showers do not stay the tide of the b irgain thirsting humanity, and but seldom im perceptibly impedes its onward rush. Twenty-five clerks, all expe rienced salesmen and sales la dies, are scarcely able to handle the trade that has been drawn to Bass closing out sale, for several hours each day for the past three weeks. Hence we say every day is a bargain day. The Hustler-Com mercial did not go through the stock today. It was work enough to go through the store, and what we saw along the middle tier of tables and counters was enough to satisfy us or any one else that the stock is being slaughtered. After seeing gents necties that cost all the way from 19 to 70 cents going into a common re ceptacle and going at 10 cents each, it was easy to account for the swarm that hovered around the edges of this sweet. Then when we saw a table of sox, including half hose, that ranged in cost from 15 to 44cls, the pair and saw them going at 15 cents for choice ; why, it was easy to understand why this cord of sox was a popular chord. Then there was the gent’s shirt table. On it was a rack of 100 shirts just takm from stock and every shirt costing from 55 to sfl.lo each, and you take your choice for 39 cents. Think of that, a laundried or an unlaun dried, a white or colored, a hard bosom or negligee, anything and everything going at 39cts. I noticed four large counteis packed and stacked with ging hams, muslins and dimities, none of them costing the house less than 64 cents, while some cost as high as 33 cents, and these goods were selling for 6 cents per yard. Here Mr. Powers, the heaa salesman, was called awav for the half a dozenth time, and af ter waiting a half hour and see ing there was no chance for him toes ape from a cordon of cus tomers that waited on him col lectively while he wailed on them consecutively, I departed I those coasts.
