There was quite furry last week
among the post masters of the county.
caused by the deluge of thread passing
through the mails which Anderson's
Bazaar had ordered the celebrated Kerr
Thread Co, to send to the Bazaar Gus
toners. A list of their customers had
been sent to the factory with instruc-
tions to select therefrom seven hundred
names and send to each spool of thread.
This novel idea of advertising cost seven
dollars for postage alone, not to speak of
the cost of the thread, and yet We ven-
ture the assertion that the Bazaar man
knew what he was doing and that the
investment will return fourfold profit.
These little attentions are certain to Sc

The Umbrella For Filtration.

There is one particular in which the
umbrella, as the girls have all learned,
is far superior for Irritation purposes to
the handkerchief, or the glove or the
fan, or any other article that a lady US
ually carries in her hand. If she sees
the dude coming with look of want
ing to tiirt in his eye, and she happens
to be with her mamma so that that cor
rect body cannot see the dude, who al
ways passes, if he is skillful in the art,
next to the girl and not next to the cor
rect mamma. Then. with the umbrel-
la as shield, the girl casts a quick
glance at the young dude, of coquetry
and triumph mingled. She passes on
and brings the umbrella to plumb
line and looks innocently at her correct
mamma by her side and asks demurely:
What were you saying. mamma,
dear?" The umbrella in the hands of
such girl is bonanza. San Francis

and away he went down the icy hillside like

Alex. Hughes Severely Injured by Being
Struck on the Head By John MONT
gomery.
This morning about ten o'clock serious
affray occurred at the Arcade Hotel, which
resulted in the injuring of one of the walters
named Alex. Hughes. The friends OF both
parties have their different stories to tell, and
it is difficult to get at the true particulars of
the occurrence John Montgomery, the head
waiter at the hotel, and Alex. Hughes, the
injured man, have always been great friends.
In fact, it was Montgomery who secured
Hughes his position. Those who are in
position to know say that within the past
few days the two men have had several
quarrels, none of which, however. amounted
10 anything except a war of words. This
were Hughes and Montgomery, were in the
dining-room cleaning. Hughes had cloth
which Montgomery wanted to clean the
mirror with. Hughes refused to let him
have it, and in few moments
the men were fighting. Montgomery
struck Hughes and in doing SO hurt
his own hand. He then rushed
down stairs out into the alley, and picking
up large rough stone, tied it in hsndker-
chief and started back. The men met in the
wash-room, and Montgomery struck at
Hughes with the stone The first blow struck
Hughes on the left arm and disabled him.
Before those who were in the room could
interfere Montgomery again struck
Hughes, this time on the head Just above the
left eye, infiicting an ugly wound, consisting
of three gashes They were then separated.
Hughes was carried up stairs and DIR. Hall
Immediately summoned. An examination
showed that the skull was badly fractured.
Hughes was removed to his home, No. 2O6
East North street, where he now lies in
dangerous condition Dr. Hall thinks, how
ever, that with proper care be will recover.
Montgomery left, and up to noon had not
been arrested.
