10 Unsurpassed bv Any

A representative Of the Register went
in to interview N. N. Mclean, today
and found him still unpacking Holiday
Goods although it seemed that all of
the shelves. counters, show cases, and a
good portion of the floor space was al
ready covered with the beautiful dis
play. Mr.. Mclean went east this year
sonal selection of the latest and best
goods to be found in the market, and
also stopped at the Worlds Fair and
secured large supply OF the latest
novelties and souvenirs to be had at
that great show. A look at the long
rows and stacks of beautiful things on
display in his store will satisfy anyone
that his time was we'll spent.
His line of jewelry and novelties al
ways large has been greatly increased
and many beautiful presents for all
classes and ages are to be found here
In the line of boo g he has the most
plentiful and best selected supply that
can be obtained anywhere. His new
line Of handsome gift books in all the
latest bindings is especially attractive,
and the old standard works and late
popular novels can all be found at his
place. In the line of china YOU can get
anything you want, Worlds Fair souve-
Mrs OF all kinds, Japanese, hand painted
and hundreds OF beautiful novelties.
A large case Of the best perfumes in
handsome bottles is one Of the most at
tractive features OF the display, while
everywhere is a profusion Of beautiful
medallions and statuary Of all kinds.
When it comes to toys there are such
piles and rows OF the most ingenious
and wonderful inventions to amuse the
children that one is almost bewildered
in attempting to make selection and
wishes that he was able to buy the en-
tire stock. as the children will be de-
lighted with any-and 1t would not take

making the prices reasonable to enable
all to enjoy the glad holiday season.
This enterprising firm has always
been one of the most popular ores with

customers and gain new ones. Your

Hold Up.


Lamar had q genuine metropolitan
hold up last week. Two men, Joe Riley
and Frank Cassidy were brought down
from Pueblo by the Bullen Bridge CON-
pany to work on the dam OF the Lamar
canal. 1t soon developed that free
transportation was all they wanted.
They were not looking for work at all.
They saw l6 year old boy, Roy Senter
with valise. waiting for train to Cad
doa, whore his father and brothers live.
They asked him for knife to cut open
a can Of ssrdines. He followed them to
the side track south Of the Lamar Seed
House, as soon as they reached spot
whore they were hidden from observa-
ton, they proceeded TO take from him
his vsliss and q silver watch. The va
lise contained suit Of clothes and some
underwear. As soon as the boy recov.
cred from his fright, he sought the Off.
GERS and told his troubles. The men
were arrested in a north side saloon
where they had been trying to pawn the
watch. Tho watch mysteriously disap-
peared and neither watch nor valise
have been found yet.
The men were tried before Justice
Feast on a charge Of robbery and bound
over to appear at the next term of dis
trict court, and now languish in tbs
county jail.
They had not been in Jail more than
a half hour before they attempted and
almost succeeded in jail break. They
are evidently desperate characters.
