According to a writer in the
San Francisco Call, J. c. Aver be-
gan life as a drug clerk, and
advertised his Cherry Pectoral in
= small but judic,ous way, gradu-
ally increasing his expenditure
year by year. When he died his
fortune was estimated at $1O,O 900,
900. Every man. cannot be a J.
G. Aver, i'll the business world,
out if more of them followed his
example iii doing a larger amount
of iudicious advertising, they
would doubtless find success com
Ing their way more frequently
than it does. AS has been APPLY
said, that advertising does pay
big when given constant, business
brainy attention, is proven by the
colossal fortunes made, and be-
ing made, III trade with advertis
ing recognized a. an important

In obedience to tie wishes Of a
number of patrons of the RoBEso-
MAN we give a story on the outside
of this issue and will, if possible,
publish one each week. The ed
itor is not very much of story
man, and in taking charge of the
RoBEsoNIAN dropped that depart
ment, fearing that he would not be
able to select anything that would
be acceptable. We did this ex-
pecting if the patrons of the paper
were satisfied to discard the sto-
ries entirely, and put other clip
pings on the first page. But those
who had become accustomed to
reading story each week looked
for them and as it is the desire OF
the editor to please his patrons as
nearly as possible the story, as
above stated, will appear hereaf,
ter. If those selected by us are
not as interesting as the ones for.
merly, we ask that the deficiency
to be charged to our want of expe'
rience.

Rather an unusual and amusing

Rather an unusual and amusing
incident occurred at the opening
of court last week. The grand
jury is composed Of eighteen men
who are drawn from hat in
which is placed the names of the
thirty-six men summoned to act
as Jurors. When these eighteen
names had been drawn last week
it was found that nineteen men
were sitting in the jury box.
Thinking that an error had been
made Judge Sutton ordered that
the names be called over and a
correct tally kept. This was done,
eighteen names were found, but
still nineteen men sat in the box,
Another and another count was
taken with the same result, and
it was finally suggested that two
men were in the box of the same
name. This suggestion was acted
upon and solved the puzzle. Two
men of precisely the same name
sat in the box and while onl,
eighteen appeared on the list nine
teen were accounted for. The ex
ira man was excused and the Crane
Jury retired to their room to work

The case against Norton and
White for the murder of Tolar was
the most important tried in the
Criminal Court last week and q
large crowd was here Thursday to
hear it. The selection of a Jury
consumed all of the morning SEES
sion and about half the afternoon.
When this had been done and the
examination Of witnesses was ready
to be begun the case was brought
to an end by the accused men en-
tering a plea of murder in the
second degree, which was accepted
by the State. A number of wit
nesses were examined by Judge
Sutton in order that the particu-
lars of the case might be learned
before sentence was passed. This
was concluded Friday morning
and the men were given the full
| penalty of the law and sentenced
to thirty years imprisonment in
the penitentiary. In passing SEN
tence, Judge Sutton expressed the
opinion that Norton and White
were guilty of premeditated muir
} der i'll the first degree and sale
. that if he had known what the evl
) dence would be he would
, have had the men tried 70
their lives. He complimented tn
e attorneys for the defense upon tn
e able manner in which they ha'

the result. Bill Norment, the
colored cook of Col. n. A. Nc

church, and Norment was worsted
by his opponent, being knocked
down several times. He swore
that he would have revenge and
went off. Later he returned and
went to the house of Dave Sam
mons, being followed by the lat
ter. While the two were talking
Walker, who boards with Sam
mons, came up and the quarrel
between him and Norment was re-
