MAIL CHRISTMAS
PACKAGES NOW
IT You Have Package to be Sent a.
Long Way Send it Now to
Assure Christmas Delivery.

People who wish to send Christmas
packages long distances should mail
them at once TO assure their arrival
at their destination in time for Christ
mas. The packages may leave this
place in plenty of time to reach their
destination in time for the recipient
to open on Christmas day, but on
reaching the larger cities, Denver and
ST. Paul and some of the other larg-
er cities farther away, congestion is
caused by SO many packages going
through these offices that they do not
reach their destination until after
Christmas. This was the case last
year and in years before so this little
article is written so that if you have
package to be sent long distance
and want it to be opened on Xmas
day, 1t is the best plan to mail it right
away.

The final full dress rehearsal was
held last evening at the opera house
and everything went off smoothly,
forecasting a fine amateur show this
evening.
Those who have heard the final re-
hearsals by the large company, say
that the chorus is the finest male

amateurs.
The curtain is scheduled to rise

that time on there will not be a dull
moment. The program is a splendid

The reason Vinol is SO successful in
such cases is because it contains tonic
iron and all of the Strengthening

ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vinol is unexcelled as strength
creator for old people, delicate children,

Attorney General Bonaparte Writes
OF the Good And Bad Trusts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Attor-
ney General Bonaparte yesterday
made public his reply to a letter he
had received from Josephine Dayles,
chairman OF the democratic press
committee at Chicago, asking for
facts connected with the trust prose-
cutions by the department Of justice,
including the present standing of liti-
CATION against the trusts.
The reply gives summary of the
cases proecuted substantially as fur
nished in recent report made pub
lie, a copy Of which the attorney gen
eral forwards to Mr.. Dayles. The
attorney general says that his depart
ment has prosecuted all cases under
the Sherman Antitrust or Interstate
Commerce laws that were brought
Ito It's attention from responsible
sourcs where the facts disclosed war
ranted such action. He continues:
1T is OF course needless for as to
say that the mere fact that corpora
don or association is called trust
by Mr.. John Moody in his manual
does not prove or even tend to prove
that its organization or its members
have been guilty Of violation of feder-
al laws, Neither is such guilt sug-
gested by the facts that such organi-
zation may do a large and apparently
profitable business, The criminal
provisions OF the statute generally
known as the Sherman antitrust law
apply only to those who enter into
contracts, combinations or conspiracy

cause it takes the form Of trust, this
does not, Of course, make trusts Of

been brought to its attention from a
responsible source and in which the
results OF carefully inquiry by com

in such prosecution. The policy Of

This company's age and popularity
is remarkable, yet easily explained,
