John Stroup Determined to have MS
Patrons Served With Drinks.
]. c. Stroup has decided to change his plan
of getting around the Brooks Law. In a letter
TO THE DISPATCH he says his customers will
be allowed to furnish money to the walters to
20 to neighboriag saloon and purchase what
drinks they desire. The amount. he says, is not
to be placed on the check. In the meantime
Mr. Stroup has gone to New York and Manager
Bicks says he will allow no liquor in the place
during the absence of the proprietor.
Both Chief Brown and Inspector McAleese
say that if Mr.. Stroup attempts to allow his
walters TO bring drinks into the place he will
be arrested.
"Snch a course as Mr. Stroup now proposes"
SAID Chief Brown, 'is just as much violation
of the Brooks law as placing the amount on the
check, and we will not allow It,"
The place was very carefully watched all day
yesterday. Z, w. Porter says he did not know
the liquor he sold to Stroup's walters was to be
served on the tables. but thought 1t was for
the family. He says he will sell no more for
such purpose.

A STRANGE CONFESSION,
General Koontz Says It's Queer the Nicely
Protested Innocence to Him.

Protested Innocence to Him.
General W. II. Koontz, of Somerset was at
the Monongahela House yesterday. The Gen.
eral was one of the counsel for the
Nicely boys. and he is not at this
date convinced of their guilt of murder.
To him he said it was strange that the brothers
should declare to their lawyers an hour before
they were hanged that they we're innocent of
the crime, and at the same time make con-
fession to q minister, who publishes il q week
after their death.
Dave. the General added, was rather evasive
in his protestations of innocence. but Joe. the
one who assumed the insane role, was firm in
his declaration that he played no part in the
killing of old man Umberger.

BACKWARD

May be . pleasing pastime, but we
take more pleasure in Looking
Forward" We cannot point with
pride to long and distant past. but
we can plast six feet on the living
present, and serve your interests
with as much pleasure and profit as
our more ancient and respected com
pstitors. We do not sell our goods
below cost. nor throw dust In your
eyes by giving presents with them.
Neither do we mark our goods too
high. because we have our finger on
the popular pulse and note the indi-
cations. There must be o reason for
the growth of our trade. We think
1t 10 largely due to candid, frank,
open business methods. When we
talk about our Hosiery and Under
wear, we must exercise care. We
can't say too much about it, but we
want to say it so that you will want
to see. That's all; the rest will
come.
