Sat Him on a Hot Stove.

DECATUR, ILL, Jan. lone of the
most attrocious robberies ever recorded
in this county took place week ago
Sunday evening, the facts of which never
came to light until yesterday. Just east
of the city lives an old man, named VIII.
liam Florey, who owns eighty acres OF
fine land. He has always lived by him
self, and it was generally known in the
neighborhood that he had money. On
the night OF Decem Der Goth three masked
men gained admission to the house on
some pretext and overpowered the old
man. They demanded his money, but
he denied having any. Then they built
fire in the cook stove and held Florey's
hand on the top until he told them where
to find $500.
Then to make him tell them where to
find more they forced him to sit on the
stove. They tortured the old man from
II until o'clock, and when they left they
carried 81, 300, of which 81, ,02O was in gold.
Old Florey was afraid TO tell of the affair
for fear it would attract other robbers to
the place.

Cutting OF COnstables.

Governor Evans has returned to th,
city and was ct his oaice for the greater
part of the day yesterday, and was quito
busy receiving callers, attending to cor
respondence, etc. In talking with the
newspaper men he said that he wished il
to be announced that no applications for
the positions of Constables need be made,
as there were no more to be appointed,
and the number of those already appoint
ed was to be reduced as last as possible,
and four or five were cut off yesterday.
Speaking of the enforcement of the dis
pensary law the Governor said that there
has been recently shown general effort
on the part of the cities and towns in the
State to enforce the law, and only those
who have not made any effort to enforce
the law would have the provisions of the
metropolitan police law applied to them.
In regard to such towns he said "Tbey
will have thirty days to pass ordinances
for the enforcement of the law, and Il
they do not we will have to pass them.'
He said that Charleston, Columbia,
Aiken, Florence and great many other
towns had taken the necessary steps
towards better enforcement OF the dis
pensary law, and the mayor Of Greenvilla
had in an interview with him told him
that the city authorities Of Greenvillo
meant to enforce the law, and the rail
roads of the State had all given him the
assurance that they would cooperate
with him in his efforts to enforce it.
He said further that hereafter there
would be but one Constable to county
instead of about eight that have beer
heretofore employed, and that these
would be placed in rural districts 30 that
the country people would have tho
"foreign" police about whom so much
has been said, and the cities would have
their domestic police as usual. He had
summoned the Chief Constable for con-
sultation, and they were going to "knock
out the blind tiger" and particular at
tention would be paid to those counties
bordering on North Carolina, from which
liquor was being constantly run into the
State, and those prohibition counties
would be called on shortly to convict and
punish the law breakers.
Governor Evans, in reply to question
In reference to the seizures of the dispen-
sary Constables in Charleston of packages
shipped by the First Presbyterian Church
to the Tbornwell Orphanage, said that he
had been told that the seizure would not
have been made but for the fact that the
church people used wh;skey barrels for
their shipment, and if that was 80 the
suspicious of the Constables who made
the seizure were very, naturally aroused.

b, If the Democratic Congressman know
what is good for them and for their party,
they had better get together speedily and

HoW'S TRADE :?

OUR trade is good, thank you. In
fact, we never sold more goods in our
lives. A common question, but an
uncommon answer, you say. So be
it. and there's a reason for it, too.
Would you you know the cause?
Then, lis figures. The figures We
make. They are attractive figures.
The figures that competition cannot
make. To tell the truth, these same
figures are rapidly pushing competl-
ton to the wall. They can't fight q

Hence you often see idle clerks around
other doors while the Ten Gents Store
is crowded.
Customers ever go off unwaited on?
Well, yes. There are times when We
can't wait on all. At such times we
have to do the best we can, and ask
our customers to kindly have patience
till we can get to them.
Do they wait on your Yes' l
should say they do. 1t is too costly
to 90 out. An old customer says it
is poor policy to pay FIVE cents extra,
and save only one cents worth OF
time. Five cents on a twenty cent
article means twenty-five per cent.
A big profit of itself: seel
How about late-comers? Do they
have as good chance as early buyers

"Procrastination" often gets the better
of the best Of us. Especially is this
true about holiday goods. However,
we always do the very best we can to
the very last.
Why don't you get a larger house
and have more help, and just push
everything out of the way as you go?
In that case we should be at such
expense that we would have to in
crease our prices to cover it. In
other words, charge the difference to
our customers. This we don't wish to
do.
We caution you, beware of houses
with too much expense attached.
