S. H. ALEXANDER
IN new STORE
NOW OCCUPYING THE FINEST
AND BEST APPOINTED
STORE IN THIS SECTION
MAMMOTH STOCK.

1t is always pleasure to us to recog-
nize enterprise and the completed store
of s. FL. Alexander, at Jasper, is a
compliment to his good judgement
and sagacity which has produced the
best, or at least one of the best store
buildings in the valley. Ordinarily one
finds for store purposes buildings
which are hardly ever imposing and
generally business is carried on under
many disadvantages. Mr.. Alexander
has solved the problem by having a
store in which he utilizes every foot of
space, and in addition it presents a
cheerful and pleasing appearance.
Entering from the Court House
square both sides of the entrance are
occupied by show windows, lofty and
spacious, and protected OF. the inside
by movable sashes, in which many
tempting articles are displayed. and
facing the entrance glass cases make a
display of many utilities. Turning to
the right the south side is occupied by
dress goods, linens, ETC., and the old
fashioned, ungainly counter is sup
planted by tables. On the opposite, or
north side, are notions and large
array of shoes, while the center of the
store is devoted to piles on piles of
clothing.
At the rear is the fancy grocery de-
partment and back of all the heavy gro
ceries. In the southeast corner is a
raised platform for the business Office
from which an easy staircase leads to
the second story, which is occupied on
the east end by millinery and dressma-
king departments and the front to a
large display of furniture. On the
north side is the ladies' hat depart
ment The second story has large
opening into main store which is sur
rounded by a tasty balcony, and the
windows in the second story provide
| for perfect ventilation. The building
is piped for gas, which is supplied
from the outside and the effect is very
brilliant. The walls are tinted pleas
ing color and wreaths of flower pattern
relieve the sharp lines of the building.
We might write much longer dis
cription but our advice to all is to &C
and see the building and the tempting
offers there made. Enterprise merits
reward and we hope Mr.. Alexander
will realize that the people endorse and
appreciate his efforts to realize per
fectly appointed store.

"On my way in paid a visit to Tenny-

and said he could no longer bear to
be knocked about tho world and that
he must marry and find love and
peace or die. He was very angry
about very favorable review of him.
Said that he could not stand the chat
tering and conceit Of clever men or
the worry of society or the meanness
of tuft-hunters or the trouble of pov-
erty or the labor of place or the
preying of the heart on itself. Said
that no one had been so much har-
assed by anxiety and trouble as him
self. told him he wanted occupa-
ton, a wife and orthodox principles,

The judgment of the district court

execution for the week commencing

that the requirements of the consti-

be observed in the passage of bills,
were not complied with.

St Petersburg. Feb. -(SpecialD
The workmen to the number of L.
OOOm the carshops have drawn up a
manifesto disclaiming the delegates
who were put forward as represent
ing them in the deputation which
visited Emperor Nicholas at TsarlIoe-
Selo on Wednesday. February /.
They assert that these men were
selected by the employers and were
not representatives. of the working
men.
The employees of one or two factor
les may follow suit. but the work
men in general are inclined to stand
by the deputation.
There were a few slight collisions
between Lessner's workmen and the
police guarding the factory today.
Poland. however, continues to be

Fire Destroys a Home.

Saturday night about 10 o'clock
the little home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ditt-
man on west Chipeta avenue was
completely destroyed by fire with all
the contents. The fire started from
a lamp which set fire to one of the
window curtains near which it was
setting. Mrs Dittman was out of
the room at the time. and, on enter
ing, found the curtain in flames and
the woodwork of the windows on
fire.
Her husband was out on duty; so,
rousing the sleeping children, Mrs.
Dittman took them to a neighbor's
and the alarm was sent in; but the
house was then too far gone to be
saved. though the department got
out in good time.
Hardly thing was saved from the
house.
Mr.. Dittman is a fireman on the
Denver & Rio Grande. Some time
ago he built the little home, which
was three-room structure, intend
ing to build a more commodious res
idence at a later date. The loss of
the house and all the household
goods bears heavily on the family.
No insurance was carried. Mr.. Ditt-
man, being out on his run, knew no
thing of the fire until Sunday morn
ing. The fire attracted a great
