Your Stationary.
It is uettiDg to l>e the proper thing
for farmeis as well as merchants and
other business men to have printed sta
tionary. And we can see 110 reason
why they should not take their proper
| place among business men by adopting
business methods in as many ways 11s
possible. There is a combination of
j business and sentiment in giving your
J farm a name like "V alley \ iew Place.
"Maple Spring Farm" "Maple Dale.', or
something of the kind, as it lends a eer
-1 tain dignity and individuality to the
, place, an increasedt sense of pride in the
j proprietorship thereof, as well as addi
tonal importance in t.te eyes of produce
dealers or commission merchants with
whom yon are dealing. A small invest
ment in printed stationary giving your
residence and business, such as breed
ing of thronghbred stock, the inanfac
tnre of dairy produce, etc., might prove
of no slight advantage to yon. as well
as giving a certain decree of satisfac
tion. And when yon conclude to have
some note heads and envelopes printed
remember that the same can be had at
the CITIZEN* office as cheap and good as
anywhere.

Principles of the Republican
Party
[From the National Republican plat
form adopted at St. Louis June 18,
1890, nearly two years ago,]
From the hour of achievement their
own independence the people of the
United States have regarded with
sympathy the struggles of other Ameri
can people to free themselves from Eu
ropean domination. We watch with
deep and abiding interest the heroic
battle of the Cuban patriots against
cruelty and oppression, and our best
hopes go out for the full snccess of
their determined contest for liberty.
The government of Spain having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives of resident
American citizens, or to comply with
its treaty obligations, we believe that
the government of the United States
should actively use its influence and
good offices to restore peace and give
independence the island.

PARK THEATRE.
JOSHUA SIMPKINS AT PARK THEATRE
FRIDAY, APRIL 32.
The attraction at Park Theatre Fri
day, April 22, will be the Joshua Simp
kins Company. It is a strong rural
comedy drama, opening with a realistic
scene of rural life, showing Skinner
Tavern with Uncle Josh's Wild Briar
farm in the distance. The play pro
gresses, abounding with interesting situ
ations, until the climax is reached, in
the third act, when a human being is
helplessly bound to a log to be cut in
twain by a mammoth buzz saw, and is
only saved by the timely asrival of
Uncle Josh. "Joshua Simpkins" was
written with the view of keeping an
audience thoroughly amused and it
fully carries out the author's intention.
The plot is not allowed to interfere with
the comedy parts to any great extent,
thus producing a play that is not only
thrillingly interesting, but is said to
contain as many laughs as there are
grains in a "heaped np" bushel of
wheat.

A Common Mistake.
It is a common mistake people make
in supposing that the only object of the
liusiness College is to grind out book
keepers and stenographers. Business
College education is useful to everybody.
The man of wealth cannot tell if his book
keeper does his work properly unless he
himself understands the science of ac
counts. Just as the best housekeeper
need not do the work herself but she
knows how, an ! hence knows when it is
properly djne. Tiie p.jar man needs
i business education to be aide to manage
i his resources to the best a Ivaniage.
The moial is plain, attend the Uutler
Business Coll and School of Short

Some people—not many—only see
the price side of a purchase—the money
to be paid.
Others —the great majority—demand
merit—style and quality—that first, and
price afterward.
Our method harmonizes the two
features for universal satisfaction —choice
goods at less prices.
"Less prices" means less ]than you
get equal style and quality for any place
else —less because they're bought well—
frotn first hands for cash—and sold for
small profit
Another feature that commends this
store to your consideration is its large
assortmtnts.
Come and see, and take your own
time about it—we like investigation —do
everything we can to help it. Pays us
to do so.
See, either at the counter, or by
sample, what a royal collection of choice
Dress Goods are here at intermediate
prices.
75c. SI.OO, $1.25, $1.50.
An enormous collection of new
Dress Goods taking it all together —l2>£c
to $3.50.
Made some important silk deals re
cently—the choice new things are priced
to interest you—6o, 75, 85c, SI.OO.
New Wash Goods 4c to f 1.25 — more
prettiness between 15c and $1.25 than
we think any one store ever submitted.
