losers generally do, he ''squealed" and
wanted the concern raided at once. He
went TO the city attorney, who sent him to
the county attorney, but that important
official was too busy TO wait on him. If it
had been small game of poker, ascent
ante, but with an equal chance all around,
there Is no official but would have had an
abundance of time. The GrOcers' union
found it could do nothing with the tea men
and dropped the whole matter.

The man who paid 81 and found $50 in
gold in the can of coffee. will say the tea
company is great institution. 1t is only
the loser who denomces it as giant swim
die. No sensible man will suppose every
one who pays 81 will draw $50, and every
one who invests banks OF his luck, allowing
the affair is honest, and should do his kick
ing before he buys A moments thought
will show that for every purchaser who
draws pair of $40 solitaire diamond ear
drops, in gold setting" there are 100 who
get nothing but trumpery piece of jew
elry, worth $3.50 gross. for this concern
is no eleemosynary institution. 1t plays
for suckers, to use slang phrase, and gets
plenty of them.
So
Since the purchase by c. A. Pillsbury of
the $3.50. 900 motor line bonds Col. McCrory
has worn his Old-tinle ruddy smile. He
says the line will now have a square chance
10 work itself out of debt which it has every
prospect of doing. 1t is not alone the
thousands of people who get an outing at
the lakes by means of the road who will re-
Joiee at any step likely to keep the line as
1t is, but by those hundreds, as well, who
are compelled to live where lots are not held
ar 81, 200 front foot. and who must have
cheap and rapid transit in and out.

This is the time of year when the inSur-
anee man anXiOusly cranes his neck and
breaks his back to watch the flight of
rocket over property on which he carries
risks When you see man with his eyes
riveted on the paper balloon as it sails
away like floating star You may know
insurance is his line of business.

Some of the handsomeSt residence prop
erty in the city is being disigured by the
erection of fences. The beauty of many of
our streets was their long lines of smooth,
velvety lawns, with not fence for blocks
TO break the beautiful monOtOny, and it is
matter OF regret that some owners have
seen fit TO put up those unsightly palings.
Why is it done?
To-day the new postal regulation goes
into effect, which makes the rate for first
| class mail matter 2 cents per ounce instead
OF , cents per half ounce as heretofore.
The special 10-cent stamp which inSures
the immediate delivery of letter up to 10
p. III. can also be used on and after to-day.
So
Owing to the unusual press of business in
the district court the special term calendar
on Saturdays will be continued through the
summer. Ii has been customary to diScon-
tinue the special terms from the second
Saturday in July to the second Saturday
in September, but the King-Reming.on
suits have thrown the business of the courts
too far behind to allow the judges their
usual vacations this year.
So
81 feel highly gratified at the success we
have met with in preparing for our races,
remarked Secretary Jones last evening.
I'VE have done it against big opposition.
There are four competing meetings in the
Northwest this week, but we have raised
the money and secured the entries, and
now all we want is the people. The purses
are all assured and if we get the attend
ance our expenses will be paid"

81 don't think that Boston Davis stands
ghost of a show to win the $50 race"
