Closed Town.

Considerable agitation has been
goining on recently in regard to Sun
day closing of business places. City
Marshal Organ was instructed as to
the law regulating the matter, by the
city attorney, and that officer circu-
lated an agreement which was signed
by nearly every business man in town,
stipulating that they would voluntar-
lily close up. This plan was n wise
one. and relieves the marshal of the
necessity of invoking the strong arm
of the law, as is clearly in his line Of
duty. The agreement is as follows:
We the undersigned business and
professional men of st. Johns, do
hereby agree to close our respective
place of business on Sunday, COM

Quite a Discrepancy.

The difference in the bids for build
ing the temporary school addition is
most marked, and it makes a man
think if he contemplates building. The
highest bid was $l143, while the low
est was only $5l3.5O, difference of
$629.50. The difference between the
lowest bid and the next lowest is
$154.50. Certainly the highest bid
der must have expected to make a
very big thing, or the lowest are fgur-
ing on a pretty close margin. The
balance of the bids ranged from $175
to $500 above the lowest. There were
fifteen tenders in all.

Finally they were served some beer at

quickly: Neither of these, and it is
more than probable that the other two
are also copies by the same hand.
Wonderfully well done, too, but the

The toast was drunk with becoming
decorum. 1 was about to resume my
seat when I saw that Mr.. Blake had
screwed himself up to desperate de-

drama was at hand. He was quite
pale. and suffered a little as he spoke.

The chief of the detective bureau
received us in his private room. He
listened attentively to Blake's report,
but seemed rather puzzled than graft
fed by its triumphant peroration. Now
the young man felt that he had done
a big thing, and this non-committal
attitude of his superior chagrined him.
He unrolled the covering in which the
picture had been wrapped.
"Therei" he said, half resentfully.
The chief looked carefully at the
picture and turned to Indiman.
