After telling how "the ambient

the tombstones OF free silver, free

when the ancient Greek went forth

HIS good sword. and on his left arm
his puckler or shield. Tho part OF the
shield which sustained the enemy's
blow was called the boss. For years
and years Gen. Brayton has stood I'm
this state to receive the offensive at
tacks of the enemy and TO shield those
on whose shoulders the blows should
have fallen.

THE REASONS

might offer for doing your Christmas mar
letng here are numerous, but a very few will
suffice and should be convincing
1t is clear, is it not. that a house which
handles to IS carloads of beef and a great
many tons of Poultry each week buy their
goods cheaper than dealers who handle carcass
or two of Beef and who buy a box of Poultry
occasionally and most likely have to pay the
midde-man's profit?
Again, it is we'll known that large busi-
ness can be cheaper than small and
that goods are handled SO rapidly that there is
no shrinkage or deterioration, which means that
we can sell all our goods on lower basis, be-
sides delivering them to you fresh and new. If
further arguments needed, might add
that we do no credit business, and consequently
there are no losses from bad bills or loss of inter
est on accounts to be added to the general selling
price of our goods.
There are additional why you should
buy your CHRISTMAS TURKEYS or other
Poultry at stores Namely, grade
turkeys very carefully SO you run no risk if you
pay, say a5c., of getting one which really should
be sold for zoe. or less.
Again you find abundance of every grade,
conveniently displayed and prices plainly marked,
so there can be no doubt as to its value. The
weather, as rule, has been favorable to fatten-
ing Poultry, and the TURKEYS will; in all
probability, be fine saw them.
Large buyers especially, should arrange for
their Christmas Turkeys not later than Thursday
Friday.
The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-12-18
CHRISTMAS FRUITS

We probably before had so large an
assortment of Fruits for Christmas as this year
and generally speaking, they are reasonable in
price. The Dried Fruit department, especially.
is filled to overhowing with excellent things and
the prices are way down on good many
Oranges continue cheap and are much bet
ter than they were or weeks ago. In Nuts
we never had SO complete an assortment as this
season, and nearly every variety is grading ex-
cellent.
VEGETABLES may be secondary to the
fruits in sense on this OCCASION but they do
not occupy secondary position in our store.
1t would probably be difficult to find any
where in this country SO great variety as
found here, and you will make your Christmas
dinner more complete and enjoyable if you
have of the little delicacies not in common
1t goes without saying that in Meats, Fish
and Groceries, stock is full and complete and
line of Fancy Cheeses are interesting and en-
joyable.
We never put extra prices our specialtes,
but always maintain usual moderate prices
on everything.

HIDES STOLEN MONEY
IN CAN OF BAKED BEANS
OFFICER INSISTED ON SEARCH
ING THE CONTENTS
Southern Pacific Porter, Who Claims
He Was Robbed While Asleep,
Causes Examination of Premises
With Surprising Results

Loot in can of baked beans was the
peculiar discover made Thursday
morning by Patrolmen Humphrey and
Bartlett, who went to the home of
Stella Williams. 212 East Third street.
to make a search for $15.45 which John
Bingham, a negro porter on the South
ern Pacific railroad, claims he was
robbed of while asleep at that place.
The officers went to the woman's
house to make the search at O'Clock
Thursday morning. The woman was
very surly and professed ignorance.
The officers persisted, however. and
after everything had been searched a
can Of harmless looking canned beans
were espied on a shelf on the window
sill. Half jokingly, officer Humphrey
suggested looking through the beans,
as he said: you never can tell what's
In a can Of baked beans"
The woman became much agitated at
the officers words, However, and imme-
diately began TO deny that there was
anything In the can. SO strenuously did
she plead that the can was innocent,
however, that she prejudiced her case
and the officers decided to have a look.
They looked, and 10 and behold there
was the loot snugly secreted in the
bottom OF the can of beans
Miss Williams pleaded guilty TO the
charge yesterday In Judge Chambers'
court and will be sentenced Friday.

The memory of the birthday of
Frances q. Willard, the greatest wom-

Methodist church.
A large picture of Miss Willard was

Mrs. Lucy S. Blanchard presided.
Mrs. Hester T. Griffith, county
president, read the paper of the after
noon on the life and work of Miss Will
lard. She said:
Manhood has been made nobler,
womanhood better and childhood safer
today because Frances E. Willard lived.
Thursday noon, September 2S, 1889,
the little Willard family was made
happy by the advent of a daughter. Her
mother wanted to name her Victoria,
for England's young queen, but Frances
Elizabeth was chosen as fitting name
for an American girl.
''She was called the doll baby of the
village, and talked when one year old,
and walked when two.
"The Doll Baby'
"When little Frances was years old
her parents removed to Oberlin, Ohio,
where the parents enrolled in Oberlin
college. There Frances often enter
tained the students by standing on the
gatepost initiating the sophomOres.
Later the family came west in prairie
schooners and settled in their country
home, where the child saw tongues in
trees, books in brooks, sermons in
stones and good in everything
''There she grew and became efficient
in carpenters tools and could make al
most anything, but she very much dis
liked the dishcloth.
ITroy do ha ao
an old pillow case, and when her moth
er went with her brother to cast his
first vote she went along crying, saying
that she loved her country as much as
her brother"

Following the address of the after
by those who had known her. Among
these was Mrs. A. M. Quinn, former
state treasurer of the Colorado w. G.
T. u, and who had voted the temper
ance ticket in that state.
Plans were discussed for the worlds
w. c. T. U. convention, which will be

Irvine of Riverside and Mrs. E. H. Mills
of Santa Ana will attend.
Mrs. Hester 7. Griffith, county

COUNCIL WILL ASSIST
IN PLACING ARC LIGHTS
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS YIELDS
A POINT TO ALDERMEN
Two Hundred More Lamps Are to Be
Placed in operatlon-Rebates for
Cottages" Help to Pay for New
illumination

Although the board of public works is
given the privilege of apportioning cleo
tric street lights by the charter amend
ment providing for that body, the board
has agreed to permit the council to have
a say in the question, and at a confer
ence between members of the council
and the board yesterday it was agreed
that the apportionment for the new
year should be recommended by the
council and would be adopted by the
board.
About 200 lights are to be placed next
year, in addition to those already in
operation.
OF this number about half will be set
up in January, and the rest during
March and April.
The council has already agreed on
the apportionment, which will be as
follows: First ward. 25; Second ward,
rs; Third ward, 20; Fourth ward, 25:
Fifth ward 40; Sixth ward, 25 Sew
enth ward, 10; Eighth ward 10; Ninth
ward. 20.
The difference in the number of lights
awarded IS due to the fact that those
wards receiving the smaller number of
lights are already well provided for.
The Fifth ward receives forty lights
on account of the extensive building
that has occurred in that district during
the last year, leaving great areas to
the southwest without light.
In addition to these new lights there
still remain a number that were dis
placed by the ornamental systems or
Main and Hill streets that will be ap-
portioned among the wards.
Lights will also be granted for out
ages" The police department watches
the electric lights, and those not burn
ing are reported to the city electrician.
At the end of the month deductions
OF these Cottages" are made, and when
by this means a gufficient sum has been
saved, new lights are placed In this
way more lights are secured without
Increasing the cost.

RUNAWAY HORSE
ENDANGERS LIVES

A horse drawing buggy in which
DR.. w. E. Pritchard of 2O5 West Fifth
street was riding, yesterday became
alarmed at the breaking of its harness,
and dashed away at a terrific pace.
All efforts of DR.. Pritchard to hold
back the horse were to no avail, and 1t
tore faster and faster through the
crowded district on Spring street. But
near Fourth street the runaway slipped
and fell helplessly TO the pavement.
No one was injured or any damage
done, but the life of Or. Pritchard as
well as the lives Of many pedestrians
were greatly endangered.
