A DISPUTED FIVE.
Difference of Opinion Between
Customer and q Vender.

There was an interesting controversy
in a cigar store on X street, between
Fifth and Sixth last evening.
A man purchased two five-cent cigars
and rendered a 50 gold piece in pay
ment The proprietor took S3 30 from
the drawer and laid it on the counter,
and then fished up a sack to produce
the other dollar.
The customers So still lay on the
counter and the proprietor declares that
in fishing for the dollar in his sack,
a 50 piece dropped from it on the coun-
ter. When the correct change had at
length been found he says the customer
picked it up and also the 50 he had
proffered in payment and started for
the door The proprietor objected and
wanted the s. piece returned, but says
his customer pointed to the piece on the
counter and asked him if he wanted
the earth.
The customer left the place declaring
that no finn fam game could be worked
on him, and as there were no witnesses
to the transaction, there has been no
further exchange of courtesies.

he owned and had a copyright Of a
certain address, emblem and name of
the Christian Benefit Association, and
agreed to sell and did sell to said Asso-
citation for a valuable consideration all

said matter was copyrighted in the

be false and untrue and We're made for

THAT said Leslie r. Drake has on
other and different occasions than those
hereinbefore mentioned been guilty of

reports regarding brothers connected

During the afternoon a number of
witnesses for the prosecution We're ex-
amined, and as apparently but little
progress had been made, it was decided
to hold a night session.
The evidence for the prosecution was
all in by 10 O'clock p m, and at that
time Rev. Drake took the stand in his
own defense. He gave his evidence in
a straightforward manner and was
subjected to a severe cross examina-
ton both by the attorney and by the
members who had brought the charges.
He was on the stand until nearly mid
night, and it was given out that as the
there were a large number of wit
nesses still remaining to be examined
the case, if finished, would last until
dawn this morning.
1t was also given out that the Ar
bitration Committee would not give its
decision until it's members have care
fully weighed the evidence both for
and against the pastor.

A New TwO-Ply
Ingram Carpet.

We describe this carpet as two
ply ingram, and sell II at two ply
price, but it's a most peculiar two
ply carpet. In the first place, it is
the heaviest two ply carpet that we
have ever had: it has, in fact, al
most the body of a three ply
Again, it has somewhat the advan-
tage over a three ply III that the
plies are SO closely woven together
that 1t is practically impossible TO
separate them. Thus every
thread in the fabric assists every
other thread in resisting wear, and
the result is most gratifying TO an
economical housewife.
We would like to point out to
you personally the merits OF this
carpet. Its heavier, more closely
woven, and has more ends to the
yard than other two plies, and the
patterns (Which are, OF course, re-
versible) are surprisingly slightly.
You haven't hitherto had the OPP
portunity to purchase so much in
grain excellence at the price. 75c
