ON ADVERTISING.

The late T. Dewitt Talmage
said. "A newspaper whose col
umns overflow with the advertis-
ments OF business men has more
influence in attracting attention to
and building up city or town than
any other agency that can be en-
ployed. People go where there is
business Capital and labor will
locate where there is an enter
prising community. No power on
earth is so strong to build up a
town as a newspaper well patron
lied, and this power should be aP-
preciated.'
This directed to the business
man has this meaning only. Go to
the newspaper with push and
force and there place an advertise

The CASE POSTPONED.
Actual Trial Of Car Men May Not

Less interest than was generally
expected was shown in the appear
ance in the District Court at Pitts
field last Thursday Of Motorman
Euclid Madden and Conductor
James Kelly, who had charge Of
the car that struck the Presi-
dents carriage Wednesday. Not
more than fifty persons were pres
ent. The case was not even called,
and after conference between the
counsel for the street railway men
and the court it was agreed TO
postpone the case for two weeks.
Bail of $4,000 for Madden and So,
500 for Kelly was furnished. For.
mer State Representative Turtle,
the legal adviser of the Pittsfeld
Street Railway Company, appear
ed for the defendants. The pre-
siding Judge was Jos. Tucker,
President of the Street Railway
Company. Had hearing been had
he probably would have given place
to an associate. tbs believed that
two weeks hence another postpone
ment will be granted and the pre-
liminaries and action by the grand
jury, if the case should come before
it, win take up so much time that
actual trial will not be reached be-
fore January.
