DON'T LIKE THE GARY OFFER.
Devlin Creditors Not Satisfied With
Plan to Take Over Mines.

Prominent creditors of the Devlin
estate are not accepting the w. l..
Gary proposition OF taking over the
Devlin coal properties on a merger
plan with any degree Of alacrity.
They are not constrained to look on
the scheme with any favor.
They believe that Gary does not
represent clients who in reality want
to finance the merger on approved
lines. but rather on a speculative
basis.
The fact that Gary appeared before
the creditors yesterday and did not
seem fully acquainted with the liabili
ties and the assets of the Deviin coal
properties and yet urged immediate
decision has already largely hurt his
tentative offer.
There is a disposition along with
this to criticise Mrs. Devlin for the
presentation OF her claim to recover
the amount of the life insurance paid
to the receiver of the First National
bank. The matter of allowing the
claim will be argued before Referee
Loomis Friday.

unlocked the doors of store building at what is now
100 Kansas avenue and made everything ready for
tie stores first customer (Wish we knew who that
first customer was) There are quite number of
customers however, who have continued patronize
us all these years whom we remember being Ia the
store that opening day. and especial invite them
to be Our guests tomorrow.

the south building occupy was erected for
us by Mrs. Hammatt, but found the first floor

the next twelve years then took the entire build
ing This additional space suf4iced until 1902 when
Mrs Sheldon erected the north building and the two
were connected and opened for business during No
yember of that year
The growth Of this business has been caused to a
large degree by the faithful loyal cooperation Of our

That Old
Sweet Song
BY Mrs. Herbert Martin


Night was fallng-a gray, damp Oc-
tober night-on the great wilderness OF
London. Night pierced by the sounds
Of the vast city, which strike so mourn
fully at times on the ear Of one who
vaguely listens in the solitude that is
loneliest OF all, the solitude set in a
crowd
Such a solitude was George Bran
don's as he sat over the fire in his
luxuriously furnished fiat The fiat and
the furniture alike were new as we'll
as costly. A year ago he had been very
differently housed. a struggling young
journalist. Those poverty-stricken
days were over, when he hardly knew
where his next dinner was to come
from. The death of an old cousin who
left no will, and from whom he had no
expectations, had given him comoara-
tive wealth, and he was rising into
repute as a clever writer,
But as he sat now, musing, with the
unopened magazine on his knee, he did
not look much happier for his change
His eyes had fallen, at one of the
station bookstalls, on the colored print
sold with one of the Christmas maya
zines thar shower about our ears now
with the autumn Ieaves-almost as
thickly. A likeness which attracted
him to it had surprised him more and
more; almost against himself he had
returned to the stall, with a cynical
half-smile at his own faulty, and had
bought the pretty worthless thing be-
cause it reminded him of that village
far away
ITS lke-yet it's not like" he
mused. Molly was prettier, and less
pretty. There was more irregularity in
her face, but more character, more
charm. That girl hasn't Molys en-
chanting dimple nor her russet-red
hair. Her eyes We're larger; they had
a wistful look in them sometimes,
though She was so merry 50 iuu OF
life. They turned away from me with
ears in them, | remember, when ! said

Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer have taken up their. residence at the Castle Hot Springs, and some very substantial inn provements are being made, prepar- atory to opening the resort for what promises to be a most successful season.
 The doctor is receiving numerous in quiries from throughout the east, and many reservations have already been made for the winter. It looks as though he would be compelled to open the hotel earlier than contemplated. in order to take care of those who are seemingly anxious to visit the springs prior to the beginning of the regular season. The road is being thoroughly repaired, and eerything about the resort put in first-class condition. Any one wishing to visit the springs prior to the open ing of the season should communicate with Dr. F. w. Sawyer at Castle Hot Springs, in order that he may make necessary arrangements.

WAFER BONDS CASE
 HEARD YESTERDAY
It Was Called on Todd 9 Co.'S
 Complaint.

Yesterday was the time set for the hearing of the water bond suit in the Cincinnati courts. No word of the re- suit, if there was any, was received here last, night. There has been some misunderstanding regarding the status of the case The nearing yesterday was not Co be mainly on the injunc- ton applied for by M. H. sherman to prevent the delivery of the bonds to Todd & Co, the purchasers, though It was thought that that matter would be disposed of at the same time.
 The point immediately before the court was brought up by the brokers as interpleaders who desired to pre- vent the return of the bonds to this territory or their removal from the jurisdiction of the ohio court on the ground that as they had incurred great expense in the bringing of the bonds to Cincinnati and had already deposited q large sum to guaranty the carrying out of the purchasing con tract they would therefore be greatly damaged if they should be ultimately prevented from accepting the bonds by reason of the injunction which had been issued on the application Of General Sherman. e
