Smart L
OBSERVING
Women have for many years noted that the
house keeping linens sold at Smart's are superior
to ordinary kinds. No matter how low our prices
are, we always keep above a certain quality level
and always sell perfect linens. Our counters are
supplied by manufacturers whose goods possess
splendid wearing qualities in addition to fine ap
pearance ; we won't sell a linen that we do not
know to be thoroughly dependable. You pay no
more for good linens here than for the trashy
sorts elsewhere.
Business at These Stores Booming.
Every department is breaking its former records,
enthusiastic buying is apparent on every hand.
The splendid values offered here have stimulated
trade as never before. The people want results,
values, hence the Smart & Silberberg Stores' tri
umphant success and steady growth. It is an
always busy store the result of the public'sjcon
fidence gained and held the outgrowth of well
directed and hard work.

LAWYERS FOR CC.NSTITUTION.
Resolutions Adopted Before Police
Dispersed the Congress.
St. Petersburg, April 11. The first
Pan-Russian congress of attorneys
took place In the hall of the Imperial
Economic society. There were 180
delegates present. The police, how
ever, entered the hall and dispersed
the delegates as the meeting had not
been authorized to assemble.
Before the police actually interfered
the congress adopted resolutions pro
viding for the formation of an asso
ciation to foster social and profes
sional Intercourse and to strive for
the political freedom of Russia on the
basis of a democratic constitution, and
also to combine with other associations
having the same alms.
So soon as the resolutions were
passed, amid tremendous enthusiasm,
the president, M. Taurchnlnoff, an
nounced that the cief of police re
quested the meeting to disperse be
cause It had not been sanctioned by
the authorities.
The delegates refused to leave the
hall except under physical force and
the chief of police entered the hall
with two hundred men. The delegates
protested that the order to disperse
was verbal and therefore illegal and
that moreover it was contrary to the
terms of the imperial rescript of
March 3, but the delegates eventual
ly left the building hooting defiantly
and with the police behind them.
Mounted troops were immediately
posted as sentries at the entrances to
the hall.

The Guillotine
The striking thins about the cxecu

all. Action was so rapid from the In

doorway of the prison to the moment
the knife tell that It wis utmost Impos
sible to distinguish the slight t linln of
incidents. He tiling himself . ,erly
against the plank, was strapped to It,
nnd In the Hash of a glnnce the plunk
was pushed forward on the platform of
the guillotine. An instant's vision of
a recumbent liguro, face downward. In
the same moment a head, with two
staring, wide open eyes, whirled almost
''ellantly, its It seemed, nnd with a
slight zigzag movement, to the right
ward, while simultaneously the pin
ioned body rolled, Inert, convulsive,
Into the capacious basket, also at the
right hand side of the guillotine. The
swiftness, the mechanical promptness
of the business, fairly stupetled the
spectator. It was Impossible to realize
that n human life had ended in less
time than It would take to draw a full
breath. The guillotine hud done its
work well. There was scarcely a sense

A New Idea About Life
Insurance.
Ever try to Insure your life? Notice
the extrcmo care lakon by the medical
examiner to find the exact condition of
the kidneys? Thousands of peoplo are
annually rejected by tho insurance
companies because they have kidnoy
trouble. Moat of thoso people do not
know it. It is an lnsiduous disease,
with various symptoms, deceiving tho
doctor as well as the patient. Neglect
ed long enough, it proves fatal. Heart
burn, palpitation dizziness, sluggish
ness, Indigestion, losing of flesh all in
dicate that your kidneys are not prop
erly performing their functions, or that
your liver is disordered. Thompson's
Iiarosma is an absolutely Infallible euro
for all kidney and liver disorders. The
worst cases yield to it immediately.
Thompson's Uarosma works like mngic
a strong statement, but one borne out
by thousands of authentic testimonials.
I had been confined to the houso with
Kidney Complaint for seven weeks and
was most of tho tlm) In bed. Some
time before I had been refused life In
surance, as I was told I could not live
many months. At tho suRg-stLm of
the druggist, who was a friend of m'.nn,
I began taking Thompson's UnroBm,
Kidney and Liver Cure, and I im happ;'
to make the statement, which my wlte
will affirm that five bottles of Dirosma
completely cured me. Alsj I refer to
