An Artistic Market.

Probably the most beautifully decor
ated market in the city is the Broadway
ash market at No. 57h West Broad
way. The exquisite taste here display
ed in converting mutton and beef into
attractive designs is remarkable. on
entering the shop the visitor is greeted
with "A Merry Christmas" in frosted
tallow. on either side of the counter is
a handsome steers head, complete with
horns, and suspended by hooks are a
number of dressed mutton. the cavity
being filled with novel designs, very
artistic. One in particular is very pref
.ty. representing Faith. Hope and
Charity" Around the sides of the shop
are hung the finest Of beef quarters.
The scene is enlivened by a generous
display Of evergreens, making this the
handsomest market anywhere to be
seen. The market will be open for in
spection all day Sunday n Monday.

MADE A HAUL.
burglars Plundered the Merchandise
store of T.. j. Bennetts.

Burglars PIundered the
store of T.. j.. Bennetts.
The general merchandise store of T.
j. Benefits, in Centerville. was bur-
glarized some time Friday night and a
great quantity of stuff carried off. The
robbery was discovered yesterday
morning when the store was opened for
business. Everything in the place had
been rummaged over, especially the dry
goods department. The burglars effect
ed an entrance by forcing open a side
door near the rear of the store room,
which Is located in the basement of ST.
Georges hall. So far as could be ascer-
tanned the robbers got away with seven
$21 overcoats, l. pairs of mems shoes,
two or three dozen ladies' handker-
chiefs and Is bottles of McBrayer whis-
key. There were evidently two or three
or more of the burglars. to judge by the
amount OF stun they carried off. 1t was
at first supposed hat they must have
had a wagon to cart the stolen goods
away, but this was disproved by the in
vestigation Of Deputy Sherifs Aware
and Gridley, who were put to work on
the case. They tracked the thieves in
the direction OF Walkerville and found
a number of the stolen handkerchiefs
near the st. Lawrence church. Four
pairs of the shoes were found under the
doorstep of the Methodist Episcopal
church parsonage IN Centerville. The
shoes were discovered by the pastor,
who thought some kind member of the
church had left them there as a Christ
mas present for him, but he changed
his mind when he heard of the Ben
netts robbery. The officers concluded
from the find hat the thieves had ia
ken more than they could carry and
were compelled to unload some of their
booty. The job looks as II II had been

HE EXPECTED Us.

II Asst week, as noticed by our con-
IL temporary in double-leaded arti-
Gle with three scare heads on it, Jim
Renshaw, who owns the Cactus ranch
out on the Tucson road, refused to take
his copy of the Kicker out of the post
Office. Jim not only owed us $l.5O on
subscription but refused his paper to
hurt our feelings. He's been sore on
us ever since we refused TO lend him
our white shirt-the only one in town
to go On drunk in.
We want to show an accommodating
spirit towards all, and we have the
name of being good fellow, but we
want 10 say right here and now that
we believe'a common blue wool shirt is
good enough for any man in this town
to get drunk in. If it isn't, he'd better
stay sober.
When we saw Jim's little game we
mounted our mule and rode over to in
terview him. He was expecting us.
One bullet went through our hat and
another raked our mule. but after that
Jim lay down, and we dug the bullet
out of his shoulder and helped him in
TO his dug-out. He not only paid us all
his arrears in spot cash, but dollar
on advance subscription; and as soon
as able to move about he will person
ally canvass for subscribers.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1898-04-30

that this was his long-lost son, and we
lent him our mule that he might go out
and view the spot and bend over the
last resting place of his wandering otf-
spring. While he WAS absent we as
ccrtaincd that William was hung by
five cowboys from NNN ranch, who
overlook him just as he had dismounted
from Il cayusc belonging to the ranch,
which he had borrowed on a dark night
without consulting the owner. This in
formation we did not communicate to
the father. He left here Wednesday
evening, fully believed that William
had been chased mile and half by n
cinnamon bear, and that J art failure
was the direct result. 1t twere better so.
He will return to his wife and mother
and tell them that William joined the
innumerable caravan from over-eXer-
ton while trying to keep 10 rods ahead
of a hungry bear; and, though she will
gricve for her first born, she will be
spared the knowledge that he was
cholied with a lariat for two or three
minutes before his heart went back on
him.

NO TOWN CLOCK.

NEs: :6nsi9s9a5o gSRsHsGAS0 fssas 51e' assa5 ,fa ;
WV us around town BECAUSE, us
mayor, we vetoed the common council
resolution TO purchase sown clock
for the city hall tower. Our opposition
arises solely from desire 10 save
money TO he tax payers. Atowu clock
wouldn't have time TO tick Is ticks be
fore old Jim IIewson and his crowd
would be popping away at the face Of
st. We can't say that we could be per-
sonnlly restrained. On the contrary, we
are almost sure that the sight of the
dials up there would result in our
whooping whoop and banging away
with the crowd. Ten minutes after fire
would he opened the town would be
several thousand dollars out Uf pocket.
No, we are not captious, nor do we
wish to oppose the will of the people.
One has hut TO count the $50 bullet
holes in the front doors of the city hall
to realize what the fate of a town clock
would be. If the town wants to set up
a flagstaff with gilt ball we'll favor
the project and If the ball isn't shot
to pieces within 81 hours We'll say that
we don't know the idioms OF Giveadam
Gulch.
