w. d. Mack, whese illness has been
a matter of much concern the past
fortnight, died Monday morning, at
the hospital. He had been suffering
for sevaral years from locomotor
ataxia, which rendered him a cripple.
Prior to mis- residence in this city, he
lived at Gray's Harbor. About three
years ago he moved here, but was
seldom seen in public owing to his in
trinity. He managed, however, the
extensive operations of the company
he represented and in which he was a
principal stakeholder. He was a ma
tive Of Nova Scotia and Sc years of
age. A wife and two daughters sur
vive him. The funeral rites were held
Wednesday, the services conducted in
the house and the grave by Rev.
Frederick Howard, of the st. Johns
Episcopal church, and the interment
was made in Masonic cemetery.
Sheriff McClarty has received a
notification from the Sheriff of Siski-
you county, Cal, that Fred. Brant-
lacht, who borrowed his brother.in-
laws horse to 60 to the train, and
finding he did not have enough money
to buy ticket sold the horse for the
necessary equivalent" is wanted. An
unreasonable public sentiment called
this little family affair borse-stealing,
and the argus-eyed indicators of the

surrendered to the Thurs.

is, what are we going to do with him?

pie will have to pay, and what ade-

to restrain crime, is wholly lost in
such cases.
About the handsomest thing we
have seen for many days is the display
OF table linen in the large corner win.
dow of the hoffman Mercantile Co.,
where you will see table cloths, nap
kins and scarfs, in endless variety and
at all prices. from the superb hand.
wrought product of Irish linen to the
finished work of the mills of France,
Belgium and Holland. The display is
of the imported article, for the reason
that linen manufactures in this
country while surely are slowly de-
veloping and have not yet entered
the competition Of tie Old world.
Linen is, however, one of the most
ancient of all textile fabrics, and it's
use has been traced to the early his
tory OF the Egyptians and Hebrews.
The samples in the display under con.
sideration embraces table-clothes up
to $3.50 in price and napkins to $l2
per dozen, and. by the way, what
would be more pleasing and appro.
pirate for a holiday present than a
selection from this magnificent dis.
play, from which you can obtain gifts
to suit both taste and purse?
