been selling out the stock of c. II.
Raesser the past week has been having
| great success. On Saturday $500 sales
| checks were filed by the clerks and
| s., 800 worth of stock was sold, which
means some business. On several oc-
| casions the police has caused the
| company to close the doors and not al

Their, Miss Amy, in charge of the team
when going into the building, and while

time to alight from the carriage without

mad gallop. they went through town
oyer some of the main travelled streets,

The finance committee has been I'M
successful in making a sale of the
Franklin school bond issue. On the
day set for the opening of bids, CAST
Wednesday, the committee met and
after discussing the weather adjourned,
There were no bids to open. Only one
banking representative was present, Il.
l.. Harker, who is connected with the
firm of n. w. Harris q Co. which has
banks in Chicago and eastern cities.
He refused to put in bid because the
rate of interest was not high enough.
For this same reason no other bids
were received. Brokers, it appears,
consider four per cent (the rate of in
| terest fixed for the bond issue) too low.
| The finance committee has therefore
decided to leave the matter with the
| council for further instruction

| trunk. They took his watch, but over
looked S27 in one of the pockets of his
trousers. AS the place has been burg
| larized several times, it is the openion
of the police that the guilty parties are
familiar with the premises.
