the Cause for the assault or the nature
of the trouble between Ray Will

Monroe and Waterloo street q short
time before the trouble occurred, and
Ray Wilson and Billy Connors passed

Finegan replied: If he owes you q
dollar why don't you ask him for it,''
They Followed the Men.
Lopez decided to follow Finegar's
suggestion and they followed the two
nnen into the saloon. Lopez reminded
Wilson of his Indebtedness and few
bad words were exchanged. Finegan
stepped up to the men TO quiet them
and Connors becoming abusive Fine

Spare the orests!
USE THE MAGIC LAMP!

There are according to the last census
sixty-five million of people IN the United
States. 1t is safe estimate that on an
average each one of these sixty millions
uses at least one match day. Think of
it! 65,OOOOOO matches, 65,OO0,000 pieces of
wood burned out of existence every twenty
four hours. On this basis you. of Stats
teal turn of mind can figure the length of
time that will elapse before our beautiful
forests are laid low and onr country, which
is now SO fkrtile and bears such bountiful
crops, will be dry and barren. for a country
without forests is rainless one The all
devouring knives of the match machines
will ultimately produce this result. But,
you say. We must have matches; they are
as necessary to our existence as our daily
bread, almost as the air We breathe

us fight each ether bitterly, We are solving

The question of Capital and Labor is as

We will have to think it out or fight it
out. We hope we will be able to keep
good natured about it and THINK it out.
For instance, all the railroads in this
state will soon be under one management.
If all the Furniture Stores in the city
