~ AT URDAY night hoary-
- locked and venerable Father
- Time wrote with trembling e
hand "finis" to the record of
1898 and spread new ledger for
the year just then in the throes of
birth. We're ambitious to figure
prominently in the pages of 'e9's
history. The manner in which
Our name has been associated with
the year just passed acts as an i'm
petus for the record to be made.
We've started at the start The
first day of the year saw the an
nouncement of our clearing sale
told the story OF our purpose-her-
aided the height of the values that
were TO be yours-spread tidings OF
the depth of reduction We began
TO clear up with the sun this morn
ing. And the energy of his rays
isn't melting the SNOW any quicker
than prices like these are reducing
stocks and breaking assortments
here.

WHOLESALE DEALERS BLAMED.
The Alleged Violations of the Pure
Food Law.

Food Law.
OF the fifteen warrants issued by the
Police Court last Saturday for alleged vio-
lations of the pure food law. eight We're
returned yesterday. The persons named
in the warrants are: William Carter. John
+. Schriver Elizabeth A. Daley. Lemuel F.
Lusby, John p. Duhey, Mary F. Burke,
Claude Jarboe, and Patrick Phillips. In
one case the sale OF oleomargerine for but
ter was alleged In the other instances the
sale of adulterated mustard and cream of
tartar, or limitations, was alleged.
Professor Hird, who made a chemical
analysis of the cream of tartar, explained
10 the court that some of the samples con-
tanned no cream of tartar at all, while
others consisted of adulterated -four. The
defendants claimed that the goods had
been bought from the wholesale dealers
purporting 10 be pure articles. and in this
connection the court suggested that the
wholesale dealers and not the retail deal
ers should be prosecuted. In concluding
the hearing, Judge Taylor advised the deal
ers to be more careful in the future, and
that their personal bonds be
taken.
