While party lines we're not particular
ly drawn in the city election last Tues
day it is not a matter Of regret that the
three alderman and the mayor are all
s,aunch republicans. But then that's
not surprising as everything goes republi-
can nova days and Mllbank had TO be
in the swim.
Mr.. L. P. Ranous of Corona, left a
sample bottle Of syrup with us last week.
| The syrup is made from the sap Of box
elder trees growing on his farm near
Corona, of which lie has large grove,
set out some ten years ago The syrup
is of good flavor. and somewhat re-
sembles maple syrup but does not ap-
pear to contain as much sugar
Il is pretty generally admitted that adj
vertising pays, but sometimes it does not,
For instance the very favorable notice Of
candidate for mayor seemed to have
the opposite effect Just how many
votes 1t lost the advertiser it would he

The judge who is trying the Brecken-
ridge case at Washington administered
a we'll deserved rebuKe to the crowds of
curiosity seekers who filled the court
room and entrances since the case was
called. He said. these people who have
fiocked here have been on trial for their
decency and have been found guilty of
indecent conduct. They reminded him
of buzzards sitting on fence waiting
for sick horse to die.
The Easter opening at Elliots did
more than credit to this wideawake, pop
ular business house. The transforma-
ton from winter to spring is marvellous.
The clean, fresh appearance OF the entire
building shows a through renovation
while the new, bright spring goods SO
tastetully displayed in every department
of this mammoth salesroom completes
the picture. The lavish use Of adject-
ives complimenting the perfection OF
detail everywhere, as well as the finished
whole should amply repay the manage
ment. They have fully met the most
exacting demands OF the public, and no
doubt will receive the liberal patronage
their enterprise deserves.
