What a magic word! How it slinjies the destiny < t !'
mankind! Yet how few there are who sec the point (as *
it were) and avail themselves of the (Jolden Opportunit
otfered them daily at Price nnd Wood's. How many |
there are who let it jro l y without even observing. and |
at the same time are licing fed that sweet, though hitter. $
bitter morsel, "buy what you want and pay when you |
get ready," one of the most damnable phrases ever uttered.
It will tear the shingles oft' your root, stick rags iu the ;;
cracks of your house, stuff a pillow in your painless win- S;
dow, pull the pailings off your front fence and leave you <■
to scratch a poor man's head the balance of your days.
If you will be a man go where you can get best prices and «
upright treatment, plank down the cash every time, using <|
equal judgment in all other marters. We stand willing
to guarantee your success and happiness.

The Dansville Advertiser, pub-
lished at Dansville, Livingston
county, N. Y., suggests the name
of J. L. Tarrey, the "original
Rough Rider," as a running mate
to McKinley. We suppose it is
only done to further advertise
Col. Tarrey. Of course the editor
recognizes the fact there is no
possible chance for his favorite
being elected vice-president any
more than he would expect Mr.
McKinley to succeed himself.
Mr. Bryan will be the next presi-
dent and will be supplied with a
democrat for a running mate.

Charley. The officers have sev-
eral times gotten in close proxi-
mity to Charley, one time, getting
his horse and gun, Jand another
time his shoes, gun and horse, but
each time he would escape them.
On one occasion he fled bare-
footed over a rough country, mak-
ing his escape.
The arrest was made Wednes
day night by Deputy-sheriff Otis
Finney, assisted by Sam Gilbert
and Ben Adams.
They had learned that on that
night he would visit the house of
Mrs. Howell, and at once pre-
pared to "bag" him. They sur-
rounded the house early in the
night, and after reconnoitering
and satisfying themselves that
Middleton was therein, patiently
waited for his leaving. Between
11 and 12 o'clock Charley, accom-
panied by Addie Johnson, was
seen to come out of the house and
permitted to advance within 30
or 40 feet'of the spot where dep-
uty Finney and possee were wait-
ing, when the three suddenly
threw their guns down on him,
with the command 'throw up your,
hands,'which was very quickly effort at resistance, e\ idently con-

him along. The woman seeing
him caught and in the hands of
officers, started back to the houso
they had just left, bidding him
'good-bye Charley,' which was
seemingly unnoticed by him, un-
til he was told by deputy Kinney
that he should tell the woman
good-bye, when, in a low tone, he
said, "good-bye."
On the way to jail, deputy Kin-
ney says, the prisoner talked very
freely until near town when he
suddenly became silent, having
but little to say. In his talk he
said to deputy Finney, "when I
get the halter on me 1 am no

you might have gotten one or
two of us, but your death would
have been certain, had you fired
a shot, though we did not intend
to kill you unless forced to do
so." The arresting parties were
very agreeably surprised, ex-
pecting he would be killed rather
than captured. When he found
they had the drop on him, he be-
came as meek as a lamb, and
