Attorney Rich ardson has served no.
on all the saloons and business houses
of Shelton, that from and after next
Sunday they must be closed in letter
and spirit of the la on the first day
of the week. commonly known as Sun
day, he having been retained by the
w. G. T. U. for the enforcement of the
law. Last Sunday the saloons were
closed, except except for several back
doors, and it is believed that the law
will be observed without having a
suit. It was noticably quiet last Sun
day, on the streets and more people
lounged around home than usual. AL
though it is likely to prove of consid-
cradle inconvenience to those who
come to town Sunday to buy a few
things occasio ally, it will be consery-
alive of better order to have the sa-
looms closed on Sunday. "Dry Sun
day. will come as surprise to some
people.

electric belts visited our city last Mon
day evening and gathered in forty or
fifty dollars in short time. He used
deceitful methods in foisting his wares

pie will allow themselves to be swim
died out of their hard earned dollars
by such transparent tricks as are usu-
ally employed. But the people who
expect to buy two dollars for one from
these slippery and INSCRIPTIONS fakirs
deserve little sympathy. If articles
sold on the streets under the deceptive
guise of advertising would perform
one-hfth of the miraculous cures as
cribed to them there would be no call
for that method of advertising. Pa

kinds OF Washington grown fruit,
