actual truth is that they oaivy in stock

A FEW WORDS TO THE PUBLIC.
California wines and brandies , Ken
tucky ami eastern whiskies , and in fact
all goods of every description usually
carried in a general wholesale liquor
dealer's stock , are all graded according
to ago and all wholesale liquor dealers
handle the same Id ml of grades of
goods.
They are generally purchased from
the same distillers and wine makers.
Ilonco , in competition between whole
sale dealers , it resolves itself down to
strictly business ability and to the abil
ity to purolmso good goods cheap for
for cash and to conduct the business at
the least possible expense.
All this talk by other dealers against
us is simply because they cannot compote
pete against our prices , therefore they
resort to the only method left , that is
simply BUSINESS lying.
Wo make no claims. Wo merely state
that wo buy our stock in largo quanti
ties for spot cash , and wo sell it for
cash at small margains depending on
the volume of business for success. Wo
leave it to the public to decide between
our goods at reasonable prices and the
goods of our ESTEEMED HONEST
competitors at war prices.
Wo call your attention to our quoted
prices on page Twenty-three.

CHICAGO , 111. , Dec. 17. A ruling , handed
down today by Chairman Caldwcll of the
Western Passenger association , removes all
doubt as to whether the vote of any propo
sition may bo kept a secret from the other
memboi's. In his decision Chairman Cald
wcll says there seems to be no provision in
the agreement for the observance of
secrecy , and that he not warranted in treat
ing the votes cast by correspondence in any
proposition as secret. In this decision
Chairmain Caldwcll reverses the position
taken by his predecessor. Some liino ago
the Uock Island road asked for information
as to how a comuctitor had voted on a cer
tain question , ami under the custom in vofjuo
the information was withheld. This brought
about a discussion of the subject anil event
ually led to the present ruling.
In accordance with a resolution adopted
by the special meeting of the managers of
the Western Passenger association' this
week , Chairman Caldwell lias appointed a
committee to go to New York and meet with
representatives of the Canadian Pacific and
See lines for the purpose of bringing about
an agreement on steamship business. The
committee is composed of .lolm Sebastain of
the Hoc ! : Island ; \V. R White of the Santa
Fe : George li. HciTord of the St. Paul : W.
H. Buscnbark of the Chicago Great West
ern. and J. C. Pond of the Wisconsin Cen

EL UKNO , I. T. , Dec. 17. A question is
being argued before the court now in session
hero , involving the legality of a great num
ber of allotments made to the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians during last spring and
winter. Jt seems Unit the alloting agents in
charge of the work allotcd land to almost
every person who applied , whether they
wore members of the tribe or.not.
Homo white men had settled among this
trlbo of Indians , but no provision was over
made for the adoption of themselves or their
children Into thotrlbu , hence it is contended
that thonllotmcntH made to these parties uro
illegal , They embrace some of the best
land on the reservation and some adjoining
the territory on the west. The allotments
will probably bo canceled.

sonic trouble with T. C. Henry in regard td
the land purchased In the San Luis valley ,
on which a colony of Hollanders arc settled.
A. Van Austernianaml C.V. . Hooght , agents"
o ( the company , claim that after their flrsO
payment was made on the land and lioforo'
the second payment was due , on December ill
they discovered that a mortgage ) for$180.00J
had been placed on the land. The scttlerM
were very much incensed over the troubled
I'lioy wcro disinclined to pay for their farina
until the land was clear.
A meeting was held and the settlers dc
dared they would abide by the action ol
their company. Mr. Henry asserts that the
Holland company has not fullHlcd itn con-W
tract and that ho does not propose to spcmt <
money paying off the mortgage before ho 1
assured of the Hollanders making their pay 1
inents as originally agreed. There are nevi

are expected soon. A lawsuit is probable.
