A LITTLE TALK.
The season has been a backward one on account ot
the wet weather, yet our business has been greater
than ever —
WHY IS THIS?
It is easily accounted for, our theory has always been
that if people are treated fairly and honestly they wil
appreciate it—and for fifteen years we have pursued
this policy —
Hever Misrepresent, nor try to get Rich off one Customer,
And people have found this out and prefer to deal
where they know they get the worth of their money—
Neighbor!
The question to ask yourself when you think of buying
a buegy or harness is—does the dealer know what he
is selling—will he sell an article for just what it is and
at the lowest possible price, also is his knowledge of
the business sufficient that I may rely on it lhen
patronize such a firm—if after all these years our repu
tation is not such as to meet all these exactions in
your mind, then go elsewhere—bear in mind that bug
gies are cheaper now than ever in the history of our
country, and the season is here when you need one.
CALL AND SEE US.
And sec if we canno? save you money—if not do not
deal, certainly this ia fair We never had as fine a
stock of buggies, surries harness as we have now,
and remember we are the largest Wholesale and Re
tail House in our line in the state. Thanking you
for past favors we remain

Barney Barn ato the well known Sonth (
African niulti millionaire, while return ,
iujr to from Sonth Africa, com j
mitted suieiile by jumping overboard (
frotn the steamer on which he was ,
travelling. The liody was recovered.
Barney Barnato \w repnterl to lx*
the richest man iu the world, his for
tune having been estimatetl as high an
10 but where he came from
and how he laid the foundations of hi- i
fortune are matters which have never
been made ijuite clear. He appeared
in London about five vears ago with his
head full of great schemes, and
within two years he launched a stupen
dous speculative movement in South
African mininir stocks, and he was!
known a* the Kaftir King.
According to one story he was the son
of Barney who used to go about
he White cfcupel district of London j
.fathering rags and old iron, and Barney
liuiself turned cartwheels in the street
Liehind onmibuser to amuse the passen
gers and earn half.pence. That his
name was originally Isaacs, and that he
was born of Jewish parents in London
seems t > be no doubt, and. al
though another story says that his
father wa- al'. to ifford private tutors
for him this :s probably a myth, for his
lack <«f education and his uncouth man
ners were notorious.
Some time during his early youth
Barnato drifted < ff to the South African
mining country. What he had done
before that time to earn a living, and
what he did during much of the time
after he arrived in Africa, is largely a
matter of conjecture, but their are sto
ries told by persons who claim to have
known him at various periods of this
stage of fcis career which indicate that
he lived by his wits then, just as he has
since, only working upon a tnnch small
er scale. He is said to have been, by
turns, a barber, a street fakir, a circus
clown, an actor, and a mining camp fol
lower, according as fancy prompted or
the opportunity afforded. Just before
■ he made his first big strike he is reputed
to have been the owner of a "circus,
which consisted of a single donkey that
did clever tricks. Some times he ped
dled watches, or even cheaper articles,
and there were hints that he had dealt
sn "contraband," as diamonds are call
whicli are not bought through the reg
ular channels. Men who make money
- in the South African country do not al
ways tell just how it is done, and Bar
nato himself never made it clear how
, he got his big start.
However, it was its rapidity that sug
gested the marvels that followed the
rubbing of Aladdin's lamp. One story
is that he discovered by accident that
'the blue earth" at Kimberley was the
true diamond-bearing soil. According
to it. 20,000 men had been digging for
diamonds at the Kimlierly mines and
when they reached a depth of 100 feet
or more below the surface the yellow
sand in which they had been working
suddenly ended, and they came upon a
snbstratum of blue earth that was al
most as hard as stone. One digger
went some distance into the blue eartli
and piled up several hundred tons of it,
but the rest abandoned their claims
and went away. The last man left
when the racing season came on, and
four months later Barney came tramp
ing that way and in the crumbling blue
earth left by the miner he found a 30-
carat diamond. He sold the stone, peg
ged out all th- mine, entered claims for
it and sold the claims for $10,000,000.
This is uo better substantiated than
the others, but it is certain that as early
as 1 Barnato had become a heavy
speculator in mining properties, and
about that time he went to Johannes
burg ;wid bought up a lot of mining
claims from men who could not afford
(O pay the heavy license fees demanded
by the Government. Here he came in
opposition to Cecil Rhodes and his
friends, and for a time they made war
on one another, but in ISSri their inter
ests were combined. South Africa
grew too small for Barnato after that
and perhaps too uncomf®rtable. He
hail represented Kimberley for a couple
of terms in the Cape Colony Legislature
and been admitted to a number of clubs
but first the Kimberley Club expelled
him for using bad and insulting lan
guage to other members, and
months afterward the Rand Club, the
most exclusive organization of South
Africa followed suit.
W 1 en he appeared in London it was
said that he took daily baths in cham
pagne, and he spent money freely
enough to warrant such stories. But
in spite of his lavishness and his racing
stable, he could not induce London to
take him up. London Clubs black
balled him, London people affected to
despise him, and no one would go
into his schemes. Sir Edgar Vincent
changed all this. First ho went with
Barnato, as the latter's guest, to visit
the South African mining regions. His
wife, the beautifu Lady Helen Dnns
combe, sister of the Duchess of Leinster
was one of the party, and when they re
turned, her social support did much to
help launch the great Kaftir boom. Sir
Edgar took Barnato to Paris and intro
duced him in other European financial
centres and the companies and shares
which he was enabled to create and sell
seemed endless. Anything with South
Africa" and Barnato's name upon it
was accepted as a sure sign of wealth
making power, and it was estimated a
year or more ago that the British pub
lic had invested $750,000,000 in his
schemes
One of these was the creating of the
"Barnato Bank Mining, and Estate cor
poration, Limited," of London. Its
capital stock was £2,500,000, divided in
to £1 shares. The morning the shares
were issued fifteen hundred brokers
began to hid for them, and they sold at
premiums ranging from !'•! 10s. to £4
each. How much real value there may
be in the "Kaffir" securities no one can
tell, but investors on this side of the
water do not touch them. It is conced
ed, even in England, that their value is
largely .speculative, and during an at
tack made upon them in the London
markets in the latter part of Bar
nato declared that he paid out $15,000-
000 to maintain their price.
Barnato's palace in Piccadilly cost 1,-
000,000 and its furnishings and service
are most sumptuous. Here it was that
he received all who came. At his of
fice lie was inaccessible, except to those
who had important business with him
but everybody could see him at his
breakfast hour at home, and nearly
everybody who knew him at all called
him "Barney." His wife and a big bull
dog helped him receive.
The story of his marriage is on a par
with the others about his earlier life.
Mrs. Barnato is said to have been a bar
! maid when Barney was buying dia
i monds It is dangerous to have unreg
istered diamonds in one s possession in
South Africa, and he t<x>k the stones to
the barmaid In due time he went to
t reclaim them
"Yon can have them. Barney, she is
said to have replied, "but yon must I
take me, too
The Barnatos had three children, ail
born within recent years. Barney wi«
anything but a handsome j>erson. h*
was alxint 5 feet tall, fat and short
legged. His most marked j>eculiaritr
of dress was that he always wore white
silk stockings.

Natures Best Stimulant
is a Little Good
WHISKEY. 0
Tt is wonderful how much good a little whiskey
does the system. How often are we worn out,
listless and dispirited—finding fault with every
tling and everybody, and not knowing the rea
. son why—Try some
Silver Age Rye Whisky gjffe
as a tonic, and you will wonder at iLs immediate
effect. It helps to rebuild wasted tissues, re
store circulation and stimulate nature.
What is Silver Age Rye? ,affe
It is a whiskey made famous for its purity and
medicinal qualities—Doctors use and prescribe,
Hospitals are never without it and every house
hold in the land should keep a bottle—
It is Sold by Druggists Jfe
And first class dealers at |r.so per full quart, or *
will be shipped to your address on receipt of thi«
amount. If there is anything wantea in good
liquors of any description, we have it at lowest
prices.
