A Card to You.
-

We have been informed that you have hpen sending some orders away to the bio rnail-order houses of late, and are sorry von found such step necessary. Of course we know that the stores of Springdale cannot afford to carry the large stocks to be found in the stores of the large cities, but most of us are willing to order whatever is wanted that does not happen to be Ill stock. and this store, for one, will appreciate your bus mess and be glad enough to order anythino YOU may want in our line. Another thinp we want YOU to bear in mind We know just how disappointing it is to order goods from q picture and written description un less you already know the goods. A very cheap article can be described and illustrat- ed 50 1t will have every ear-mark of the very best, and still when the cheap and the best are placed side by side the only thing left in favor of the cheap article is it's price. This being the case, we invite YOU 10 come to the store before sending away for your next order, If you decide to send again. and take look at the goods You want If we do not happen to have the same thing described i'll the catalogue, YOU will see what we have, and be better able to judge of the value of the goods you get. Of course, 1t is pretty late to judge the val |. but that is something every one must de if they buythe goods without seeing them
 We are inviting you to come in and look at our goods so you will know values. We want you to be well posted as to values, Tor the more you know about the goods yoa buy, the more certain we are that yon will find the goods we handle are the best that can be bought for the money. We do not invite you to come in and see the goods. and intend to then insist that you buy of us instead of sending away for them, Of course, that IS what We want you to do but you must use your own good judgment in the matter. All we ask of YOU is to make that judgment just as good as possi ble, and We here offer you both our own services and our stock to assist you.
 Yours respectfully,
 SPRINGDALE HARDWARE co.

Philadelphia.-It was just 11:4O
O'Clock, 20 minutes before closing time
at the Fourth National bank on the
morning of January 5, when a tall.
dark, unkempt stranger entered the
bank corridor from the north corridor
OF the Bullitt building. Patrons of
the bank-not many in number, for
b tunately-were passing in and out to
make deposits or drafts before noon.
The clerks and tellers We're busy to-
falling up their sheets for the day. The
officers were hurrying TO wind up their
business. Scarcely anyone noticed
the newcomer.
He had on dark blue suit Of cloth
ing, those who saw him remember
ragged and shiny from age. He wore
a black SLOUGH hat. He peered around
hesitatingly, and then caught sight OF
President Rushton standing near one
OF the vaults, which were soon to be
closed. He must have known Mr.
Rushton, for he did not ask anyone fol
the president, bEt approached him and
spoke to him Immediately.
MY name is G. f. Williams" he
said, land l live in the suburbs Of
Philadelphia. 1 want to know if yor
can let me have a loan of SIS 5000"
Mr.. Rushton saw that the man wa:
some sort of crank, and to get rid o.
him. asked that he name his securi
ties. which the president would con
slider before making the loan. At the
same time, Mr.. Rushton signalled K
Crump, the Waterman. splendidly
built big negro. who wore a gray uni
form and to the banks patrons, wa.
one OF the most familiar figures abou
the place.
AS the Waterman responded, Mr.
Rushton whispered; Get rid of thi,
fellow. won't you,i Bob" addressin,
the colored man by the hickman,
which the financial men of the dis
trict long ago applied to him. But tn.
Intruder pressed up close to the presi
dent again before Crump could reacl
him.

the nitroglycerin's force was hurled
/ nat upon the floor, many beneath
crashing, ,cutting showers OF heavy
glass from the skylights and parti-
tioRs, some beneath the desks at
which they had been sitting a second
before.
Not only from the banks quarters,
but from all over the building came
cries of terror and shouts of warning.
Men and women raced out through
| both of the big doorways into Fourth
street, some fleeing for blocks in their
fright. Pedestrians stopped in amaze
| ment as they heard the great boom;
and saw fugitives with bloody faces
and hands pouring from the building.
In the terrific explosion both Nc
Lear and the bomb-thrower were in
hstantly killed. A negro messenger
Tanned William Cfimp, who was try
ing to eject the stranger. had both his
eyes blown out and was fatally in
Jured. A dozen or. more employees and
patrons were severely hurt and the
entire first floor of the bank was
wrecked.
The cashiers body was torn limb
from limb. Both legs were blown off,
one arm was blown from it's shoulder;
half the head was all that remained.
Of the bomb-thrower so little was
left that waste basket contained all
that was later taken to the morgue.
He was literally shattered to atoms.
The only thing that remained intact
hic n1n q
little brass name plate attached to a
bunch of keys, which was found near
strip ~ef >-blue cloth that had been
part Of his trousers The words "R
Steele, Garner, Ia" were Inscribed
upon 5the plate. Through this clewit
was discovered that the man was Rob
ert Steele, who had left the Iowa town
six years ago for the east. and had
presumably been living with wife
and three children somewhere in this
city then. His identity would probably
never have been known for the little
brass plate.
President Rushton, whom the
stranger had left only half a minute
before throwing the bomb, escaped
serious injuries, but had several small
cuts on his face and hands. First Vice
President Edward F. Shanbacker,
though only few feet away, was I'M
scathed. Second Vice President B. M.
FAIRIES, whose desk is a mere step
from the cashiers, probably escaped
death only through having been i'll
and having stayed at home.
The explosions force swept through
every department of the bank and
wrought havoc as it went. In the col
lateral department, not far away from
where the bomb was thrown, 100000
worth of valuable securities were
blown from the desks and trays and
were scattered in a twisted, torn mass.
Just outside the waiting room,
which is in the same section of the
bank, a massive brick fireplace, sur
mounted by large marble clock, was
