Here are some comparative prices on articles
taken at random from a well known Chicago
Houses Catalogue, You will find in almost
every instant that our prices are cheaper deliv-
cred to you at our store than theirs on goods in
Chicago.
When you add to their prices the freight
charges, the delay in shipping, the risk of
damage in transportation, the annoyance and
the fact that in almost every instance you pay
for their goods at least several days and in
many cases weeks or months before you get
them, perhaps to find when they are received
that you are greatly disappointed In the goods,
we believe you will find the odds overwhelm-
ingly in our favor. We invite fair compari-
son on all goods equal in quality and finish.

# the negroes Of the south will

long flowing robes Of the Orientals
the race question may be solved 50
far as the railroads are concerned.
The suggestion comes from Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wilson, whose
genius in making two blades Of grass
grow where one had grown before,
was called upon to plan for tour
of four Hindu students through the
south. The students, who are now
the guests Of the government, went
to visit the cotton fields, but it quick
" developed that they we're in danger

ments in jim Grow cars provided for
the negroes. As the young men are
Of high caste they could not be sub
jected to such treatment, and the
outlook seemed desperate until Sec
rotary Wilson proposed that the
Hindus lay aside their American
clothes and wear the turbans and
robes. So attired they are promised
the best railroad and hotel accom-
modations.

Paying Teller Bids Good Bye to His
Friends and Then Departs.

New York.-Detectives through.
out the United States are searching
for Chester B. Runyan paying teller
Of the Windsor Trust Company, who
the directors allege is missing With
6,615 in cash. The case is being
handled by private detectives. Geo.
w. Young, a director Of the trust
company, confirms the report Of the
defalcation which the detectives say
is one of the most remarkable ever
reported.
Runyan is accused of placing $685.
615 in currency in suit case last
Saturday and departed after shaking
hands with his associates. Runyan it
is said, did not even go to his apart
ment to bid good bye to his wife
to whom he had been married for five
years. Runyan is said to have taken
all the cash available in the bank last
Saturday. The directors it is stated,
have made. up all the loss Of the
defalcation.
Runyan was a man Of exemplary
habits so far as is known and his
conduct was such as not to arouse
any suspicion. When the auditor
went over his accounts on May Sc
they were found to be all right.
John A. Young, president of the
Windsor Trust Co., said that Run
yam is member of prominent FAM
lily of Rochester, n Y, and came TO
the. Windsor Trust Company in 1905
highly recommended.
President Young said also that the
directors Of the Windsor Trust COM
pany made good the defalcation and
were about to offer reward of $1,000
for the arrest of Runyan.
Runyan's wife is Frustrated at the
moderate four room apartment up
town. She, too, had understood that
her husband was to spend Sunday at
Rochester.
Runyan, who is 81 years of age,
live frugally, never gambled, it is
said, had no interests outside his
Office and home and was considered a
matter-of-fact, level-headed person.

KIDNAPPING CONSPIRACY.
Will be revealed when trial comes
off.

New Orleans, Following an extend
ed interview held with the suspects
at the Parish, L Robert Rivarde, the
young attorney appointed by the
Court to appear for the men and
women alleged to have kidnapped and
murdered little Walter Lamana, out
lined the plans of the defense in the
famous trial, and indicated that a
hard fight would be made to save the
Black Handlers from the gallows. He
claimed that at the trial the accus-
ed would tell all they knew Of the
conspiracy and create nothing short
of a sensation.
With the exception of Campisciano
whose case, he confessed, was diff
fcult one Mr.. Rivarde claimed that
he would be able to get most of the
others off with penitentiary SEN
iences, while he thought there was
a good chance for acquittal for Leon
ardo Gebbi and Tony Costa. In re-
gard to the two women, the lawyer
did not believe Nicolina Gebbia
should be tried for murder at all, and
that Maria Campisciano should be
given the lightest punishment, as she
had clearly been merely the tool Of
her husband and had been deferred
from telling the secrets of the matter
because Of fear.
Mrs. Lamana made an interesting
statement to the Picayune that will
perhaps be added to the chain of CIR
cumstantial evidence that will be
used against Leonardo Gebbia. She
claimed that Gebbia had for some
weeks previous to the stealing of the
child shown rather unusual liking
for the boy and often took him across
the street and purchased him ice
cream and cakes. The unfortunate
mother gave graphic picture of the
hypocritical manner in which the Geb-
bia family had acted towards her
during her hours of sorrow.
