BANKER DIES
BY DRQW MING

LYNN, Mass, April Shortly after
the beginning of the autopsy on the
body of David K. Phillips, the wealthy
banker Of Swampscott, which was
found on the beach there yesterday,
word was received that Phillips waist
coat, containing his watch, had been
found on the beach near where the
body was discovered. These articles
were missing last night and this fact
led the family of Phillips to ask for
an autopsy, foul play being suspected.
After the autopsy to-day the med

banker came to his death by drown
ing, and that there was no indications
Of foul play. The drowning must have
been accidental, he added, although
the circumstances would indicate that
the drowning was deliberate suicide.

TERROR SPREAD
BY Wild MAN

LAWTON, o. T., April IA wild
man, of hideous appearance, with
ragged garments, emaciated features
and lacerated body, has for the past
two weeks been terrorizing the citi-
zens of the southern and southwestern
portions of the Chickasaw nation, In
dian Territory. On several occasions
he has assaulted women and children
and injured men who sought to capture
him. He invariably makes his escape
and shortly turns up in some other
section of the country and renews his
operations.
Two deputy United States Marshals
and posse of citizens recently came
in touch with him in heavy thicket,
but he made good his escape. All sub
sequent efforts to capture him have
been futile. No one knows his name
or where he comes from.

Reasons Why We Open
Our New Store on
April 18th

The rapid growth of our business has no
parallel in the history of merchandising in the
Western States In very few years we have grown
to be the largest store of our kind west of Chicago
We have seven departments devoted to mems and
boys outflttngs, but these inadequate tc handle
our fast-growing business. We require second
store, which will be opened April 5th in the
James Flood Building at the corner of Powell
and Ellis streets. Then with fourteen depart
ments we hope to handle all the goods necessary
to satisfy our numerous patrons.
Do you know why we have grown1 Do you
know that there is reason behind all this expan-
sion? Yes, and the strongest kind of reason:
We sell direct to the public and positively
save them at least twenty-five per cent.
Stepping into store is just like entering
manufacturing establishment and buying at whole
sale. 1t is this elimination of middlemens profits
that has started the tide of public favor in our
direction.
And, by the way, store will be the
sweest store on the Pacific Coast San Francisco
may well be proud of such store when we open
the doors April 15th.

London and Paris Cabs.

The statement made by the Figa-
70 to the effect that 1000 Paris
cabs are to be provided with auto
matte time and distance registers
directs attention to the comparative
conservatism of English cab pro
prietors. 1t is a somewhat surpris
ing fact that, although rubber tree
cabs appeared in London at time
when public conveyanceS in Paris
ran scarcely more smoothly than
country wagons, the great majority
of London cabs are still tired with
metal, whereas it, is impossible in
Paris to hire a cab which is not fit
ted with pneumatics. As for time
and distance registers, one fears
that they must be regarded as be
yond the widest dreams of the Lon
doner's ambition.-London Globe.
