HOLIDAY MERCHANDISE IS MAKING
AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY.
Our Business Men Right UP to the Mark
with Their Xmas Goods.

\ walk up and down the main street
of Yale this week and peep into the
windows shows us that our merchants
are thoroughly awake and alive to the oc-
caSion. The occasion being of course
the glad Christmas holidays and the
displays made are for the benefit of
Christmas shoppers.
Everybody shops during the holiday
time. 1t is inevitable, and our mer-
chants are here to meet the wants of
the people. They dress and trim their
show windows with holly and ever
greens and other tasteful decorations
and place among these their most at
tractive wares. n great deal of time
and labor is expended in this way, but
it certainly pays, for who does not de-
light in standing before Il pretty shop
window, and always when one sees
something wantedf And SO a double
purpose is served A pleasure is given
the behOlder, he buys what he likes
rs gift and the merchant receives the
price to pay for his own gifts. It's on
ly rule that works both ways and all
are benefited.
Our stores this year, as ever, are re-
plete with seasonable goods and great
care has been exercised in dressing the
merate and describe each, but for fine
sight it is worth coming miles to see.
In the dry goods windows we note
staple and fancy articles which every
one is i'm need of, and which make sub
stantial and useful gifts In the gro
Gerry and confectionery stores, the finest
class of goods is displayed and bewil-
dering assortment of candy, nuts and
fruit.
The drug stores are marvellous sights
with their brio c-a-brac, toilet and brush
sets, mirrors, pictures, ETC., etc.
Decorated china, silverware, and jew
elry in the jewelry store windows are
much admired. The hardware stores
show their lines in the most effective
way, sleds, skates and other things
catching the eyes of the young folks.
The shoe store has put its prettiest
foot forward and the clothing houses
show the latest in gents furnishings.
The baZaars are the places where you
think Santa must have emptied his
pack for the delight of the children.
The walls and windows are packed
high and low with all things imagina-
BILE.
Our furniture stores carry all desira-
bic articles in their line and look over
the stocks of either of the two would
show you many nice piece of furni-
ture for Christmas gift.
In ladies' furnishings the Bon Ton
carries everything and the big window
is much admired. Our meat markets
are never behind and the variety of
meats which are placed for your inspec-
tion i'm such attractive ways would
please the most fastidious of epicures.
Holden's big window contains four live
geese which call attention in their win
dow of green's.
The decorations in many of the win
dows are superb, and Christmas bells
and "Merry Christmas" abound every
where. We can't imagine anyone be.
ing dissatisfied with what Yale offers
this year in the holiday spirit.

CITY TEAM VICTORIOUS.

A second match between the Wooden

Welch's bowling alley Monday evening
and resulted in favor of the city team.
1t was not as close a contest as the pre-
vious one, yet the interest was intense
until the last. The city team had such
a start the two first heats that ii seemed
almost impossible to overcome it,.

San Francisco. Get. 30.-As a result
OF the developments in the superior
court District Attorney W. II. Langdon
has been judicially recognized as the
incumbent of the Office TO which Abra-
ham Ruef was last week appointed.
Two members of the grand jury chos-
en- last week wern discharged because
OF failure TO qualify, and seven others
are TO be examined to determine
whether or not they are qualified TO sit
in Judgment upon the charges of NAL
feasance and corruption in office.
On behalf Of the Ruef faction an eff
fort was made to obtain postponement
OF further proceedings involving the
examination of the grand jury until
after next Friday. when Ruef, Acting
Mayor Gallagher and the members of
the board of supervisors are ordered
to show cause why they should not
be permanently enjoined from assert
ing any claim to the office of district
attorney. Judge Graham, however, de
cided that there was no adequate rea-
son for delay and ordered the examina'
ton Of the jury to proceed.

Chicago, Oct 30.-Albert G. Wheel
err, president of the Illinois Tunnel
company, while testifying in a civil
suit in the superior court, was held IN
contempt of court by Judge Chytraus,
who ordered a deputy sheriff to take
charge of the witness. It was Wheel
er's refusal to answer direct ques-
ton asked by the court that caused
tie trouble. The same question was
asked fully dozen times by Judge
Chytraus. and each time an answer
was evaded by the witness.
Finally the court lost patience and
ordered the sheriff to take Wheeler in
charge. Wheeler then answered the
question. and his attorney offered an
apology, but the court ordered the tes-
timony written up and presented to
him Wednesday morning when he will
decide in what way to punish Wheeler.

HUGHES ATTACKS HEARST
Democratic Leaders, Platform as 1t
Looks to the Republican.

At Evansville Hughes paid his re-
spects to Hearsts platform. He said:
I'VE have at times been perplexed to
know the platform upon which my OPP
ponent stood. whether it was the plat
form of the independence League or
the platform adopted at the Buffalo
convention. He has said, / believe
that he stands on his own platform,
and in that | think he is right, and he
cannot get away from it. The platform
uDon which he must necessarily stand
is the platform of the journals which
have espoused his candidacy, and
which are in his entire control.
1T is 4 platform OF reck less abuse;
it Is platform OF assault upon our
best men and upon our institutions; it
is a platform Of vituperation; it is a
platform upon which we find indiscrim-
inately levelled at those who have been
honored by the citizens of this state
the most reckless, the most abusive.
the most disgraceful epithets which
have ever disgraced any part of our
press"
Roth candidates will continue cam
naigning in the western part of the
state until late in the week, when they
return for whirlwind wind-up in this
city. So far both have drawn large
and demonstrative audiences. Chief
Judge Edgar If. Cullen has consented
to call the court Of appeals in session
at Albany this afternoon to hear an
| appeal from the decision of the ap-
| pellate division of the supreme court
which declared void the petitions up
on which many League candidates in
New York county were nominated. Ex-
Senator David p. Hill has been re-
tanned by the League to make the ar
gnment In behalf of the candidates
excluded from the Official ballot.

hardest week Of the campaign. The
Republican gubernatorial candidate
spoke at Dansville and Syracuse, and
the head Of the independence League

mass meetings for sane judgment on
big business interests, and urged Re-
publicanS and Democrats alike to vote

the corporations and bitterly arraigned
the board of elections, before whom
many League nominating contests were
heard. He asked his audiences to free
themselves of state officials controlled
