twelve from Mcpherson and other towns
are expected to be represented quite fairly.
The decorating for the event
will be very elaborate. Major Marshall
says he has had no trouble in convincing
the citizens that it would be good plan
for the city to make liberal display on
that occasion. He feels quite well pleased
with his success, and thinks that the city
will give the Grand Commandery more
hearty welcome than it has received from
and other city in the state. 1t is believed,
also, that the attendance will be greater
than at any former meeting of the COM
mandery, and everything will be OF the
most satisfactory He thinks that the
citizens should decorate tomorrow if the
weather if favorable, and have everything
in readiness to welcome the delegates.
Anyone wishing more decorations can get
them from Mayor Marshall at the estab-
ment of Cole & Jones.
Mr.. Corbett says the Blue Lodge will
meet in Wichita next February and will

THE CITY HANDS PAID.
The Cash is Forthcoming and the
Laborers are Happy.


In connection with the report of the
city finances which was published in
the NEWS of yesterday evening we
can add this evening that the street
hands have been paid in full and the
gigantic overdraft of the city finances
has dwindled away into an insignifi-
cant nothingness where the micro
scopic observation of the most chro-
mic caviller cannot discover it. APP
pended to the financial statement
furnished us by Treasurer Seley yes
terday were the accounts of Assessor
and Collector S. B. Humphreys and
Marshal Neil, the former with SS69.27
to his credit and the latter with
$3S9.SO. These amounts have been
collected by the officers named since
the first of September, but had not
been transferred from their official
accounts to their respective funds
because this is not done except once
or twice monthly, as the money &C
cumulates. This aggregate amount
of S1259.O1 was under the direction of
the finance committee, this morning
transferred to the street and general
funds, and when at two o'clock
Marshel Neil presented the check for
5000, issued by the mayor to liquidate
the August payroll, he received the
cash in full and proceeded at once to
pay off the laborers who worked for
the city in August. Chairman Ca
ruthers and Alderman Lacy, of the
finance committee have been espe-
cially active in their efforts to bring
about such settlement and the citi-
zens of Waco will applaud and COM
mend them for their successful work.
Assessor and Collector Humphreys
told News reporter this morning
that there are still outstanding sew
eral hundred dollars due the city for
the street and gutter tax which be-
longs to the street fund and that u
large portion of the amount due will
be paid in tomorrow. Thus we see
that the city is in pretty good shape
financially and the danger of disas-
trous bankruptcy is exceedingly
remote.

AGO Curiosity Shop.


The Waco Curiosity Shop is at 90
and I'll Austin street. The Waco Gu
riosity Shop is the place to buy and
sell all kinds of secondhand goods.
They carry a full and complete stock
of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every al ticle needed for housek eeping.
1t is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with so-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t is the place where they
can and do sell goods at a fair profit
so that there is no accumulation of old
time-worn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ed less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $4,000
worth of goods. 1t has helped hun
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when they could not do so in any 9TH
or way. 1t has continued to grow,
make friends and prosper as no other
house in Waco ever did with same
capital.
Now let me tell you what the Curl
osity Shop is going to do. 1t is going
to have the best stock of new stoves,
furniture, trunks and general house,
hold goods it ever had. 1t is going to
meet all competition and lead it when
we can. 1t will make special low
prices in new cook and heating stoves
and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible.
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favOrs
and our prosperity, we are as ever,

Some men engage in business with
very little money, having an abun-
dance of push and get up and get and
good common business sense, knowing
how, when and where to buy goods,
pushing rapidly to the front, are al
ways glad to meet and welcome COM
petition, rejoicing in the prosperity of
all, with the motto, "Onward and up
ward" ever before them. They real
ize the fact that ten years ago are not
the ways of to-day, that old fogyism
is dead. Such men deserve success.
Others starting in business when
all it was thought necessary for a man
to know was what he paid for an ar
ticle and to sell it at double the cost.
Such men soon get disguised at the
business push and success of the mod
ern merchant, and rather than meet
competition stands off and defies 1t
rather than sell goods at fair profit,
let them lay on the shelves and rust
and grow old. Gradually dropping
back, back, back, and out, leaving
business for younger men, and mer
that are aware of the fact that this
