MORE SENSATIONS.
The NOline Gambling cases Seem to
Involve Plenty of Them-The Detec-
tive Aagain Arrested.

The cases against prominent Moline
people charged with gambling continue
occupying the attention of the county
co1rt, where Judge Mock. of Cambridge.
is presiding on account of the illness of
Judge Adams. This morning Messrs.
Grimes. and Merzyman had Detective
DeYeraux arrested again on the same
charge preferred yesterday-adultery.
The de.e Give was arrested in Rock ISL
and and taken to Moline States Attor-
ney Sturgeon telephoned up to send the
prisoner to Rock Island on a mittimus,
bat he was released by the Moline justice
on his own recognizsance. The states at
torney then gave notice that he " ould have
Merryman and Grimes taken before the
court for contempt of court in attemp t.
ing to obstruct the laws course in e.
peatedly having the detective ARE sted on
charges which could not be substantiated.
This morning the chief witness exam
ined IN the case against Snyder for per
hitting gambling in his hotel. was ]. E.
Pool, bookkeeper for Deere s. Co. The
defense objected to Mr.. Pools testimon V
as to Witnessing gambling in the Ksator
house, and two hours were consumed in
the arguments, the defense holding that
Poo in so testifying would criminate him
self The Judge overruled the motion
and when Pool was told to answer the
question he refused to do so. The court
ordered him to answer and he did so in
the affirmative. He has refused to ans
wer every question doing the day, and
the court has compelled him to and so
the case proceeds up to the time of going
to press.
The court this afternoon instructed
Mr.. Pool that he could refuse 10 answer
such questions, as in witness opinion
would tend to criminate himself. and af-
ter such questions were asked him Mr..
Pool would repeat, II refuse to answer
that question" after which he would
state the grounds on which be refused,
this being done in order to made the rec =
ord show that he had refused 10 do SO
until forced to answer By the court.

There is large class of people who
ire easily ''gulled," and who can be
irawn into anything that promises some
thing for nothing. They like to be hum
plugged. Those who are so disposed find
ample use for their imagination writing
advertisements that are intended to mis-
lead The only way in which houses
that do business on solvent basis and
give value for value can compete with
these lying tradesmen is to adhere to the
straightforward, confidential style of adj
vertising 1t is the straight truth about
straight goods or honest service that sets
the people right on the question Of
patronage, and educates them TO detect
the difference between the fair dealer
and the swindler by the tone of their ad-
vertisements. Ink.

Everybody Read His Red Ad.

A novelty in newspaper advertising is
found in The Fishkill Standard, where
an enterprising merchant, in order to be
sure and attract attention to his an
nouncement concerning holiday goods,
had it printed in red ink. His space
in the upper right hand corner of the
second page was four columns in width
and about third Of the page in length,
and was occupied by well written and
tastefully displayed advertisement. The
body of the paper is of course printed in
black ink, and in order to make it posi-
BILE for the advertiser ''to paint his cor.
ner red" it was necessary to run every
paper Of the edition through the press
twice-once to print the advertisement
in red and again to print the rest of the
paper in the usual black. Such work is
quite expensive, but no doubt it paid the
advertiser big returns. for certain it is
that every reader Of The Standard saw
and read the snowy announcement.

How Bonner Became . 1illiousna,

Mr.. Robert Bonner inserted, in the
year 1855 and later, many full pages in
the New York dailies, repeating short
Advertisements making q column or
more. each separate advertisement be-
ginning with two line letter. This
made the page look attractive, and no
one could open the paper without being
impressed by The Ledger's announce
ments. This had never before been done,
and 1t made quite a sensation. The Led
ger and what Mr. Bonner was doing
was talked about everywhere. Some
contended it was foolish waste of
money-that the repetition was unneces-
sary. Such persons were asked if they
would have talked about it, and had
their curiosity aroused sufficiently to in
duce them to buy The Ledger. If there
had only been one advertisement instead
of hundred in the same paper? Ger
tainly this kind of advertising aroused
universal desire TO see The Ledger.
remember one page that was set IN
squares like a checker board. every alter
nate square being blank space. This
was at the time great curiosity.
The result of this advertising, the ex-
traordinary merit of the paper, and the
enterprise of Mr.. Bonner in securing
such great array of talent in writing
for it, brought the circulation of The
Ledger at one time up to $50, 900 copies,
which was 100000 copies more than any
other paper had then reached.-S. NJ.
