The combination article consists Of a

that for the men of drab mercerized

such as buckle. size adjustments and
the like are bronzed. The beauty OF
this choice of materials is that, unlike
leather. they will not dry and crack.
and. unlike the conventional brass, the
bronzed metal will not gather the
green mold from which the usual
brass suffered. The mold that comes
to leather from exposure TO dampness
is also avoided.
The belt Is "a inches wide and has

MORE CONVICTIONS TO FOLLOW

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 10.-Severa
legal questions of importance aros,

4 penalty for active participation in
hazing.
plea in bar was then entered tc
the only specification against Dec.l-
tur on the charge of "encourasire
AMI countenancing hazing," on the
ground that Decatur had already been
fried upon substantially the same
facts in the former case.
In denying the motion the court
ruled that maltreatment of fourth
class man by the infection of direct
physical cruelty was not the only Kind
OF fazing, but that any annoy ance
or molestation, such as the require
ment of mental services, making rid
lculous and such like, were also haz-
ing.
This ruling is expected to Isa.l to
lhany more convictions.

STILL MAKING IMPROVEMENTS.

!
Grand Junctionetaoetaoftap cWerekd
/ Among the business houses of
Grand Junction that enjoyed a re-
markable growth during the year of
1905 is the grocery house of j. w.
Osborn & Son. The year was de-
cidedly the best that the popular
house has yet experienced and Mr..
Osborne is planning to make the
business of this year eclipse that of
last year.
The Osborn grocery and meat
market is one of the best equipped
and managed stores in the city, and
| by fair dealings at all times with
their patrons, honest representation
of the quality and kind of goods car
ried, prompt and careful attention at
all times to all orders and courteous
treatment to all patrons, the bust
ness has steadily and rapidly grown
until today the Osborn store is one
of the leading grocery houses in the
county
Owing to the increase in business
the old quarters on West Main street
were outgrown and short time ago
the hrm moved into a much larger
and more conveniently arranged
building on Main between Third
and Fourth streets which the firm
had erected
Since the change has been made
Mr.. Osborne has greatly increased
his stock and is constantly enlarg-
ing it. Today his stock is one of the
largest in the city and complete in
every line.
ha1;a,.o. l..
ing only the best help consequently he
has splendid force of employees, in
care of the various deartments of
the business.
The meat market conducted by the
firm of Osborn & Son is one of the
most modern and most satisfactory
in the city, and while it has always
been under the charge of competent
workmen Mr.. Osborn has just en-
gagged the services of gentleman
who he believes he can faithfully
recommend as the most finished and
best qualified meat cutter that has
ever accepted a position in a Grand
Junction meat establishment. o. L.
Barnes, of Colorado Springs is the
man. He arrived in the city and
went to work this morning. For
seven years Mr. Barnes conducted
the st. Louis Meat Market at Colo
RADIO Springs, considered the leading
meat market of that city He has |
been in the business for over fifteen |
years and knows 1t from beginning |
to end. He was highly recommended |
to Mr. Osborn by business men and
meat dealers who are capable judges
and Mr.. Osborn. determined to. get
the best man he possibly could In
order to give his patrons service that
could not be excelled, engaged Mr..
Barnes.
During the year just passed the
meat market of the Osborn store did
almost double the amount of busl-
ness done the previous year. BY
actual count 521 head of cattle went
through this market besides the pork
and mutton and with Mr.. Barnes in
charge, with other conditions more
favorable than in the past the firm
expects to send 1000 head of cattle
through this retail market is
certainly big record-for. a--retaff1
meat business, but it is the truth
nevertheless. M ~
There is no doubt that the year
will be the biggest in the history of
the firm of j. w. Osborn and Son.
The house believes in "a square
deal" for every patron and conse-
quently it is bound to do big bust
ness.
