Selection of a Permanent Resting Place Not
Made, But Officers Are in Favor OF
Arlington Cemetery.

An American squadron will bring the
body of John Paul Jones, recently found
by Ambassador Pogter in Paris, to this
country in June.
The present plans are that the re-
mains will be placed In Arlington Gene

Partial arrangements to this end were
made at a conference between State
and Navy Department officials today.
The squadron which will bring the
distinguished naval hero,s remains home

there with his brother. William Jones, in
his early life. The feeling among
officials is that the remains should rest

where later on Congress would probably
authorize the placing of monument.

And Her Name Was Maud

Monday evening while Miss Por
 ter and Miss Schwentker were stroll ing in the neighborhood of the rail road dam they encountered a large black bear, so they concluded that they return at once from whence they had come. The report was soon made known to two of our brave hunters, and after an inter
 view with the ladies, Ralph Morrow and Allen Strickland went to the place where the bear was seen, and sure enough some tracks were there. They started in pursuit with rifle and revolver, to bring him to task, but from what we learn we know that the bear in question was noth
 ing but an Arizona mockingbird. A law should be passed prohibiting burros from running wild in the beautiful canyons surrounding the city, to scare unprotected females.

 To Our Customers
 ''New transformers coming to in crease the brilliancy of your electric lights"
 New metres coming to decrease your light bill where you have been paying for more light than burned.' y
 New machinery coming to fur nish you light the year round, re- gardless of weather conditions.
 The electric light is no expert ment. It has displaced all forms of oil and gas lights in all of our cities where electric lighting plants have been installed. Why?
 Because, exhaustive tests have proven it to be the most practicable. economical, satisfactory, labor saving light in use.
 Because, insurance companies pronounce it the safest light in use, and reduce your insurance rate ac- cordingly
 Because, electric lamps will not explode and destroy your property and that of your neighbors.
 The metrei is the customers friend. It registers no more, no less light than actually burned. Therefore by turning out lights not needed, the customer may reduce his light bill.
 Do not allow knockers, and gas lamp alarmists to persuade you that the metre system will materially increase your light bill. Wait until a thorough test has been made, and be convinced.
 Remember, gas lights, oil lights, and every other known form of light has been repeatedly tested with, and replaced by electric lights in all of our large cities.
 If your flat rate is too high, de- posit with the Electric Light Co.,, $16.5O and get in upon the metre rate. Fifteen dollars of your de- posit will be returned to you in lighting, the balance of $50 going to the company for labor and mat erial used in putting in your metre.

a GreWsome Find.

The employees of the Canada Mailing
company at Montreal. made a grewsome
find Wednesday while unloading a car
of barley. Near the bottom of the car
they came upon the body of young
man who had probably lain there for ten
days. An examination of the pockets
showed couple of post cards addressed
to Thomas Keene, Norton Mills, Vt. The
supposition is that the man crept into the
car to sleep and unnoticed by elevator
employees was smothered by the grain.
The car was filled over week ago.
