which Is rather a surprise to me. and, I
dare say. a greater surprise to the author

our government, State and county for the
privilege of selling such liquors. Now, there
are plenty Of restrictions upon the legal

me tell you a fact, and it is one known to
to be a fact by a majority Of the people.

my honest opinion that there are three gal

gallon sold in saloons, and in all that has
been said and written in support of the
Nicholson bill not one word has been said
about any legislation to ever make the
drugstore saloons pay a revenue to the

In conclusion let me urge that we get at
the root of the evil, and if you will give
this matter careful study you will agree
with me that the thriftieSt root of this evil

In Police Court yesterday morning the
usual number of after-pension-day veterans
were present. Judge Stubs finds it very
hard to fine his old comrades and he will
not do so unless a man is persistent in his
violations of the law. But there was one
old soldier present yesterday whom the
Judge did not hesitate to fine, after giving
him a lecture. The prisoner was John Nor
rison, a veteran of Chickamauga, who was
arrested In company with Martha West,
A Van Slack, Thomas West and Felix
Robbins. Martha West was clothed in a red
dress and a mans heavy overcoat. Morri-
son claimed he. had been robbed by some
one of his pension money. The Judge dis
posed of the other cases as he saw best
and fined Morrison $40 and costs.

NEW COMBINED CURB.

Fulton Company, of Chicago, Wants
to Compete with Parkhurst Curb.
The J. L. Fulton Company, Of Chicago,
has written a letter to the Board of Works
asking that it's curb be admitted into com
petition with the Parkhurst curb. The lat
ter has had somewhat of a monopoly in
this city, but now the Fulton company pro-
poses to put down a curb equally as good
at a lower price. The company has a num-
Der of good recommendations, and the city
engineer says the curb is composed Of good
material. In the letter to the board the
company says:
1--WE ask no favors from the board, but
only the privilege of putting in figures for
curbing required, based on specifications
furnished.
w have laid in Chicago, during the last
work, and in no instance has it proved
otherwise than entirely satisfactory in finish
and of lasting quality. We feel assured that
if an opening were made for competitive
figures in the line of combined curb and
gutter, the result would unquestionably be
of benefit to the property holders who pay
for such work, and furthermore, that if
you see fit to assist in any way in bringing
about such competition, you will have no
cause to regret it.
In submitting the specifications we re-
spectfully ask that this class of work be
included in your next advertisement for
paving. If you see fit to accept same, we
can guarantee thorough, frst-class work
under the specifications, and only desire the
opportunity of putting in a figure"

LOSSES AND INSURANCE.
The estimate put on the stock of the
company is varied. The most of the officers
declined to make an estimate, but the best
that could be learned was that there was
about $4,000 worth of Irvine. which was
completely destroyed. and the remainder of
stock is estimated at from 81, 600 to $50. 900,
which places the entire loss on the stock
at about $6o, 600.
A partial list of the insurance is as fol-
lows:
Insurance Company of North America.
5000: Western of Toronto, 5000; British
America of Toronto. 5000; Hamburg-Bre-
men. $3.50; Phenix of Brooklyn. $1,000: De-

mems Fund. 5000: Vernon, $1,000: Ale-
mania, 81, $780,: Girard. $500. Some of these
amounts were on the building.
The Butcher & Gibbs Plow Company had
stock in the building. insured as follows:
Phenix of Brooklyn. 5000; Fort Wayne.
s1,cG0; Firemen's Fund, 5000; Springfield,
81, 1000. The Warder. Bushnell & Glossner
Company, of Chicago, also had a small
stock in the building. 1t is not known if
it was insured. This is not complete, but as
all the insurance policies are in the COM
pany's safe. it was impossible last night
to get a full list. Mr.. Sonde says the total
Insurance will probably be SIS, 600 more than
this list. On account of the stock varying
in value SO greatly at different seasons of
the year the insurance is constantly being
changed, and he could not give the exact
figures of the total Insurance.

Chicago's most prominent music
house, Lyon & Healy, have a num-
Der of slightly used and second
hand pianos, taken in trade, used
in concerts, and in fact not brand
new instruments, which they have
determined to sacrifce rather than
to try to make room for. These
instruments comprise Square
pianos at $40, S65, 800, 500 and
1925. Upright pianos at $l25,
$40, $3.50, S165, $3.50, 5000, 1926,
S240 and upward. Grand pianos
at 5000. $3.50, $500 and upward.

are represented, including among
numerous others Chickering,

Steck, Fischer, etc. This is an
opportunity that will not occur
again, as Lyon & Healy never had
SO many pianos of this class before.
Immediate attention is necessary
A good plan would be to order q

lars upon application. Any piano
not proving satisfactory may be

obstacle in taking advantage of

programme of recitations and sing

followed by each going up to 8

table in front of the pulpit, and
dropping their envelope containing
their "Thank Offering" and a fav.

We send a few samples of the
many quotations:
Thanksgiving dwells'In the heart, not
on the tongue or in tho stomach"
"For comfort In the time OF need,
For every kindly word or decd,
For happy thoughts and holy talk
For guidance In our daily walk.
For everything give thanks.
"What shall say this Thanksgiving Day
That am thankful for.
Tho hogs IRE dead; the seed didn't head;
And oats arc 80 low.
And things In a terrible state, you know.
Yet ut least with Simon Scriggs can say
That with all the fuss, am
Thankful that things a!nt no wuss."
