Clothing for the Million

The chief attraction at present is the
mammoth display of gentlemen's cloth
ing at Mr.. l.. Wolfson's White Elephant
clothing emporium on Main plaza. 1t is
not saying too much that every gentle
man in the state could be furnished with
suit OF clothes and then there would be
plenty left for COW boys; and these are
fastidiOus, too. The fact is, Wolfson
keeps himself supplied from first class
manufactures only and hence can supply
the demand for superior article for less
money than ii can be procured anywhere
else. Thin and light fabrics in colors
and black are at present exhibited, and
owing TO the heated term have big
run; seersucker, alpaca, light merino and
large number Of fine materials can be
had In suits or separate pieces. Dress
and wedding suits In the various grades
OF fine quality In texture and make up
to the finest "doeskin" and imported
brosdclOth are among the specialties in
the immense stock now displayed. There
is no excuse for anyone to 20 ragged or
badly dressed while WolfsOn holds out
inducements In low figures for dress
goods and ready-made suits by the car
load and enough to clothe every gentle
man In the state. 7-l2-tf

KENNETH ANDBRsoNs CASE.

What is the Basis of the Charge and
What Is Said on All Sides.
There WAS considerable excitement
In the city last night when II became
noised around that Kenneth Anderson,
a mail carrier, son of the well-knOwn
Mac Anderson, had been arrested upon
q charge OF forgery. The facts OF the
case are these: BlasR Ochoa, then liy-
ing at Kyle, on the 18th of June, sent
postofiice order for 50 to her mother,
Mrs. Margurita Sanchez, who resides at
AIS Monterey street, which Is on Ken
meth AndersOn's route. On the 18th OF
June, Kenneth Anderson presented the
order for payment at the postOtfice and
it was then endorsed to him. He
signed for the money. The order has
since been sent to Washington, ID. g.,
and is there now. Mrs. Sanchez is posi-
tive that she never gave any authority
for the payment of the money and that
she complained to Anderson Of Its non
arrival. AS she cannot write 1t Is hard
| ly likely that she made the alleged en-
| dorsement. Anderson says that he fire.
quently cashed orders for Mexicans on
| hir route, but he don't remember this
case. In such cases he had signed their
names at request.
Postmaster Howard says there Is no
doubt that Anderson cashed the order,
and that 1t 10 not unusual for mail car
riers to cash orders for persons upon
their route, such orders being properly
endorsed to the carrier. He did not
think that there had been any criminal
intent on part of the accused.
| Whom Kenneth Anderson was taken to
| jail, Mac Anderson was having an inter
view with Lilly Gibson. He was aston
ished to see his son in such an unfOrtun-
ate position. but expressed his believe
in his sons innocence, and said he would
get him out of it, The idea generally
prevails thar Anderson has permission
to collect the money, but failed to turn
it over. 10 meet this, II second charge
Of embeZZlement is maze against him.
In connection with this case 1t is
charged by Detective Hughes that
Police Officer Garcia visited Mrs. San
chez, and endeavored to persuade her
to go before a notary and make affidavit
that she had given Kenneth Anderson
authority to collect the money, when he
knew that such was not the case. This
charge, 1t is said, VIII be referred to the
police committee, and will be the sub
ject Of investigation by the grand jury

Marble and Granite Dealers Organize with a
View to Preventing Ruinous Competition.

The Indiana Marble and Granite Dealers AS
ISOLATION came together, yesterday, in called ses-
sion, to meet with those of the large dealers who
might assemble here on call to form a national
association. About twenty dealers, from various
States, met as nucleus for the national associ-
alton, and private meeting was held in the fore
noon, st the Bates House, the object being to
take such steps as will protect the interests of
dealers and prevent ruinous competition. The
representatives from Illinois were considerably
disturbed over the competition they are COM
PEELED to make with convict labor, as there is an
establishment at Joliet in which prisoners are
employed. being farmed out by the State in a
manner similar to the way in which convict labor
is now sold in Indiana, tocompete with the labor

Looking for New Fair Grounds.

The State Board of Agriculture have. during
the past two weeks, been looking up a suitable
site for the State fair grounds. All the avail
able tracts of lands about the city have been Wis
tied, and the various advantages of each noted.
At present it seems that the selection lays be-
tween two tracts of land. One is the sixty acres
belonging to the State, situated just south of
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the other a
one hundred acre tract northeast of the city, at
the end of Massachusetts, avenue Both are
very favorably situated far as railroad facili-
ties are concerned, and either is we'll adapted
naturally to fair purposes. There will be no
purchase made, however, until after the annual
meeting Of the board in January.

seasons work, each booth, aside from the part
peculiar to it, makes an effort to help every other

from cheap to expensive; woolens, which have
heretofore been neglected, are among the most
useful and attractive articles shown. Paper in
its many forms will be surprise to those who
do not know how many beautiful things can be

the aesthetic taste, and everything that can add

entertainments will prove great attractions.

A News boy Shoots q Robber.

Lee Miller is little fellow not more than
twelve years of age. He has an afternoon newa-
paper route, and it is long after dark nowadays
before he is through with his subscribers. He
has been waylaid three times By stalwart me-
ero who is strong enough to break every bone
in his body. Lee got tired of being robbed of
his pennies, nickels and dimes by this ruffian,
and determined to protect himself at the risk of
his life. Buying revolver for dollar, one
that carried bullet about the size of a pea, he
went on his route the other night. and, as usual,
ran across the negro. The robber started for
him, and Miller fred his bean-shooter. The fel.
low howled for help. as he turned on his heels
and ran down Bellefontaine street, holding a
hand on the scratch wound in his body.
