Novel Method Of Advertising.


A merchant in State street took a
novel method of advertising his wares
last week, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Two show cases of the up
right variety stood in front of his
door, and on each was planted a dog
dressed in gaudy blankets and be,
decked with miniature plug" hats.
Each held stick in its mouth, from
which were suspended in banner fash.
ion placards setting forth the merits
of the merchants goods. One of the
dogs was splendid specimen of a
brindle bull; the other was an Irish
terrier, the saucy expression of whose
face was accumulated by the plug
hat cooked rakishly over one ear. The
two eyed the crowd somewhat bashful.
ly and anon looked at each other as
though to say: ''To what base uses
may we come at last?" Judging from
the expressions heard in the crowd,
which almost blocked the thorough.
fare, the dogs were more detriment
to the storekeeper's trade than an ad.
They shivered in the keen air, despite
the protecting blankets, and looked
so wistfully toward the store door, as
though begging to be released from
their exposed position, that the people
were more moved to pity them and
condemn the storekeeper than to pur
chase his goods.

VOTE BONDS
ON FRIDAY
IT IS NOW UP TO THE PROPERTY
OWNERS TO DECIDE WHETHER
LEWISTON'S STREETS SHALL
BE PAVED.

The pavement of Lewiston's
streets will be determined by the
property owners, who will vote Fri.
day on the question Of Issuing $22..
600 Of bends to provide funds for
the street intersections and the city's
portion Of the engineering work.
The proposed issue will necessi.
tate an additional tax Of one-half
mill. or an annual tax of so cents
upon each $1,000 worth Of assessed
valuation. The assessment is made
upon 80 per cent of the property val.
uation, which would mean that
property valued at $3.50 would DO
taxed an additional sum Of so cents
for a period Of 20 years, at which
time the bonds would be redeemed
by the sinking fund provided for In
the assessment.
While the general sentiment in
the business district has at all times
been strongly favorable to the pave
ment. the present condition of the
streets has made many converts to
the pavement cause. and 1t is not be-
lieved a strong vote will be cast
against the proposed issue.
The recent action of ttI CONNER.
