"Chicago's reign of lawlessness is

only few weeks ago that was par
ticipating in an open-air meeting in the
Chicago slums one Sunday afternoon,
when fusilade Of shots, which remind

Commissioners Kilby, Out Of the Full

Crime Here and Elsewhere Chicago
People Not to Be Blamed for Tough
ness Of Their City.

3 q. 81
Chicago's carnival Of crime would be
abated by the closing of all saloons at
midnight and all day Sunday. This IS
the opinion of Commissioner George A.
Kilby, the western head Of the Saliva
tion. army, who is in Minneapolis
inspecting the records and accounts at
the provincial headquarters in the old
city hall.
"You are Fortunate" said the COM
missioner when he was told that Min
neapolis saloons were undergoing a
course of law enforcement. Many OF
Chicago's midnight crimes are tracea-
BILE to the open-all-night saloon. We
Of the Salvation army are opposed to
the saloons altogether, but we are glad
to see them regulated in places where
they cannot be prohibited. If it is i'm
possible to close the saloon, the next
best thing is to shorten its hours and
see that it is run properly.

Second Great Auction
Sale of BIuefieId CITY
Lots, May 8, 1906

On November 18th, 1905 we had
quite IA successful auction sale OF Blue
field City lots located in the East End
Addition. We have acquired additional
lands, and have laid out some addition
al streets and made permanent some
OF our plans contemplated when hav-
ing this sale. Many lots that we sold
I'm our last have been resold at a hand
some profit, some OF which haave been
nprovrd, and the purchasers expect
to improve other lots Immediately.
We call attention to the advantage
of buying lots in the East end of Blue
field. For some reason a great number
of houses have been built in the last
six months in the eastern part of Blue
field, and many are now under course
OF construction. III Bland street is
named as a dividing line between east
and west Bluefeld, there are more
brick being laid now in the eastern
part than all the rest of the town. In
fact, there ale now about eight large
brick business houses under construc-
ton and eight others contemplated tc
be constructed before the end of the
year. 1t is thought by many that the
Government Building TO be built in
Bluefield will be commenced possibl,
this year.
Bluefield has proven herself to b,
the queen of southern cities. During
the last fifteen years of her rapio
growth there has been no time wheI
property has receded in price or value
No one should hesitate to purchas
city lots In a place where it is nov
necessary that from two to six familie
should occupy the same house. 1t ha
been demonstrated that population
wealth, and if this is so, we are wealth
TO the extent of urteen thousand in
habitants, who are compelled TO live i
too limited num!er of houses, who ar
compelled to stay, and who have m
desire to leave the city. There is n
speculation about it; the population
here.
These lots are styled the EAST En-
OF Bluefield." They are located opposit
the eastern end Of the Blu,field Raj

A New Era in
Soda Water

The Twentieth Century Sanitary
Fountain recently installed at.Jackson's
Drug Store, represents "A thousand
years OF progress toward the
security OF human existence. It's
unrivalled success rests upon the np-
plication Of scientific principles 10 con
strucion in points vital To health.
The syrups are stored in Sterling
Glass Bottles standing in plain view.
Self evidently clcan-cach glass syrup
container is thoroughly sterilized be-
fore rcplcnishing That's why the
iiavors will always be sweet, and the
soda fountain drinks at this place
always wholesome and health protect
ing.
The fountain differs materially from
the ordinary and old style apparatus
its sanitary features are as perfect as
modern skill can conceive.
1t is an inspiration TO look at this
handsome new fountains, and an in
vitation TO the palate hard TO resist,
80 harmonious is the apparatus in all
its appointment, but best of all il is
the sense Of coirplete security from
disease germs which is afforded by the
sanitary system employed.
This fountain is one OF the latest
styles Of the Twentieth Century Sani-
tary Fountain, manufactured by the
j.. A. Becker Co., Chicago, and was
especially designed for John E..Jacl<son,
who is now prepared to make the soda
water feature OF his business more
popular than ever, and he has spared
no expense in claiming the patronage
Of the refreshment-loving public.

road Yard. Just think of it-ten
Princeton Avenue lots and seventy
Virginia Avenue lots to be sold at your
own price. The terms, one-third cash
and one and two years with vendors
lien retained, are so liberal that it will
take very small proportion OF your
pin money to make the down payment
on the lots; and we predict that be-
fore any of the deferred payments are
due, this property will have enhanced
so much la value that TO have the
right to pay the remainder and own
the lots will be matter of great satisss
faction to one and all the pur ehasers.
The street car line is TO be materially
extended in this direction within six
months from this date, and if the lots
are built up, we predict it will be ex-
tended along the entire front of Prince
ton Avenue lots.
All Virginia Avenue lots front on q
60-foot street, and it is thoroughly
| feasible 70 build a nice residence on
any of these lots. Nearly all Of the
OTIS west of Dexter street will have
acc ss to city sewerage, and all lots in
the entire East End Addition will have
access to Bluefield water main.

this advertisement, they cannot make
any better investment than to erect

very acute demand for Bluefleld prop
critics.
We understand that the city tax i'm
Bluetield under the new charter can
only be at the rate OF 35c ON the humid
red dollars. Now this fact should at
tract large investments In real estate
and In manufacture. We sincerely be-
heve it is possible to make Investments
IN town lots offered at this sale on
which you are sure To have an income
OF at least 20 per cent per annum il
you improve the lots. If you hold
them ON speculation. it is highly pro-
bable that you will double your money
ON them in from twelve 70 eighteen
months.
The writer has made many predic-
uons on the mateIial prosperity of
Bluetield, all OF which many of the old
residents remembe' have been fulfilled.
We believe that the development of
Blueiield is behind the development of
the Norfolk x Western Railroad and
the Pocahontas Coalilcld, and other
adjacent coal fields; and it is now due
OF necessity that more houses should
be promptly built in Blueneld. We
regard II as n very conservative fore.
east To say that Blueileld must double
in population in five years. This Will
occupy lots that are now not dreamed
OF.
On account of the rapid increase in
the production OF gold during the past
Few years. which promises 10 continue
for several years, il is now high time
that such commodities as real estate
and coal and all material investments
will enhance i'm value generally at the
rate OF per cent per annum. But
some vacant town lots I'm Bluefield will
advance from 40 per cent 10 300 per
cent per annum; therefore, your best
interest will Ice served 10y being ON
hand when the Band begins to play.
The sale will begin at 2:3O p. m. shnrp
and continue for two hours: begin
again at X p. m. on Tuesday MAY Sth.
