The American band will head the parade this evening, not the Military band as was an nounced through mistake. On Thurs day night will come the big barn dance. This will be the funniest fea- ture you ever saw. There will be more people in costume than ever be- fore and all will bc struggling for the ten dollar and the five dollar prizes for the most comical costumes.

silk from Weed Pulp.

Artificial silk is made from wood pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex- cellent, but it is found that many dresses made from 1t have been dis carded because the creases made when the wearers sit down do not come out. It Is scarcely possible to distinguish the real from the artificial silk. but this defect has proved fafa' for use as dress pieces.

An ADVERTISING Trick,

Every reader of newspapers who
has the power Of observation knows
the deception practiced In advertis.

figures a price given which Is third
Of what the real worth Of the article

preston that Il IL the article illus.
trated that 10 sent for the low price.
This Is for the purpose Of securing
an order for an article which. when
received is found to be far different
from what the person who sent the
order expects to receive. How would
the home merchant fare should he
advertise In the same manner? Would
he not be placed on the list Of trick

credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at bats thrown out to

Psychologists say that every person
has . weak spot somewhere In the
brain. II seems that this softness Is
commonly manifested in false reason.
ing that frequently one can get some
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part Of the majority. the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill OF goods purchased the buyer
gets something for nothing"
Just think OF a graft" like this
that will draw $500 worth Of soap or.
ders in a single month from q town
OF 10000 people! But this is Just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think Of wives OF
grocers and dry goods merchants In
large cities Joining soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each month to for.

MUM. while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost all the
soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power OF the

no exclusive privilege is asked Tor IN

be. Whoever is FIRST on the ground
in such case takes the practically
exclusive privilege with him. An ex-
elusive monopoly consists in FRI.
mar cinch on the raw material ana

The raw materials OF sirect car
system are the people and the streets
to get to them. The ground iloor
privilege OF the main artery OF n
towns traffic, especially with the ad-
dition OF two or three good feeders
that take in the denser areas OF popn-
lation, is all that any monopoist
needs. Al the end of twenty years
the people that have granted the priv
ilcge. are not being carried by the
railroad so much as they have the
railroad on their backs. The price
then asked for the surrender OF the
equipment includes the valuc of the
field, which is made by and belongs
to the people. and is so cNtortionate
n sum that the renewal of the char
ter seems the cheaper release from

ice is what several cities are now

ance OF detail conditions, would be

Further, let the associations at Rocky

lots to Denver by.R. D. freight. He says:
