BROKE ALL BUSINESS
RECORDS IN AUGUST
Megary & Son by Selling
Right Kind of Goods
Made Sale Success

August is not generally a good month
for breaking records, yet that is what
the firm of NJ. Megary & Son did this
year.
August this year was the biggest month
we have ever had" said c. X. Montgom-
cry. manager for that firm. I'VE spent
more money in newspaper space than we
spent last August and our sales were
mueh larger, On the last day of the sale
our business equailed any two previous
days. 1t was a big surprise to us to have
a bigger month in August than we have
ever had in the winter. Generally speak
ing. the winter months are better for
furniture trade than in August This
year however, we advertised more heay-
i.y, and the people we're evidently walt
ing for our sale. They knew what 10 ex-
pect as we have educated them through
they know they can depend absolutely
that we have what we advertise"
This year Megary & Son used more
space I'm all the mediums they used last
year-spent more time developing their
sa,es than they nave ever done before,
and they got the answer that was to be
expected from the public. They got trade
from great many distant points they
could hardy have expected TO near from,
and II was simply through newspaper adj
vertsing they did it.
The right sorts Of inside management
ami outside publicity were the two fac
tors that made the August furniture sale
Of this firm such tremendous success.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill" which opened
at the Grand Opera House last night
and which will appear again this after
noon and evening, was enjoyed by a
fair sized audience. The piece is gen.
ulne melodrama with a number of
clever specialties and enough exciting
incidents to make it pleasing to all.
Virginia Drew Trescott as Alyce
Granger, who took the principal part.
did good work and was ably supported
by George S. Trimble, and in fact the
entire cast is superior 70 what is gen.
orally seen in productions of this kind.
Miss Trescott does a clever piece Of act-
ing in the last act when at coroner's
jury she hypnotizes the murderer OF her
uncle and makes him confess and
thereby clears her lover, who is charg-
ed with the crime.

DELINQUENT TAxPAYERs.

~ A News editorial our morning
contemporary makes a plea for
abolishing the custom OF pub
fishing the lists OF delinquent tax
payers. II urges that these lists are
not accurate in that many names are
omitted; aud II holds that inasmuch
as many property owners pay their
taxes IN installments IT would be a
hardship to publish their names among
the delinQuents
We cannot subscribe to these views.
The only way to have satisfactory
system OF taxation Is TO make it rigid.
That alone is kindness TO the tax
payer II the lists do not contain the
names Of all delinquents then some
body is at fault and whoever il is
should be held accountable. The Gus
tom of paying on account Is all wrong
&C Is a nuisance 70 collectors and saves
nothing to the taxable. Property own
ers have a year in which 10 pay taxes
before they become delinquent and il
owners cannot or will not pay the full
sum within the year it should be made
out OF the property.
The man who owns no real estate Is
paying taxes too. It is "a part Of his
rent, and unless he pays 1t monthly he
Is served with a notice to vacate. Any
system Of easy payments is taken ad-
vantage OF by tax-dodgers. while in
most instances honest people, poor or
otherwise, pay promptly. Tax-dod-
ging should be made impossible.

BE JUST, BE FAIR.

Y ET no Republican be deceived.
Senator Alice has tried TO
break down your Faith in Or.
Chandler. hoping that you would con-
sent to the acceptance OF Conrad.
Yet Dr. Chandler is not on record as
saying a word that in any way dam
ages his standing as candidate. He
cannot be held accountable for the fool
ish utterances OF any other man.
II is important to keep everything
straight in mind. for Senator Alice cir
culated his news with the purpose Of
confusing people. The Every Evening
for instance, drops into the error OF
saying that Mr. Luke promised Alice
for his party the Secretary OF State
and a large per cent OF the patronage
There is no good evidence OF this. It
is not in Mr. Luke's letter. Mr. Luke
denies IL, and 1t rests on Senator Alice S
mere word. Now would you believe
senator Alice in preference to Mr..
Luke? We don't know Mr Luke and we
are acquainted with senator Alec, and
IN matter Of this nature we have no
hesitancy In saying that we should
give the preference to Mr.. Luke.
Finally, there is danger OF doing "a
great wrong TO DR.. Chandler. a man
who had an honorable record long be-
fore Alice had emerged from his jew
elry store. But whatever Mr.. Luke
may haye said or done we challenge
Senator Alice TO produce the least evil
dence showing that DR.. Chandler wa,
behind his overtures.

A RETURN TO SANITY.

VATE congratulate the Water Com
wv mission on its breaking the
the hypnotic spell which the
Sand Filtration Company seemed to
hold over city oficialdom so long. We
are emerging from our trance; the silly
season we trust is over. and now we
hope that we shall spend our money

proceed to collect whatever damages a
jury may assess, and let us turn a new
page OF the ledger and operate under
the laws OF common sense. A num-
Der of separate contracts viii be given
out to the lowest responsible bidders
after thorough advertisement. This
is simply a compliance with the law.
Real Alter experts have given their

ing plans and supervising so important

Water engineering is a science that
calls for experts. In the expenditure OF
