Snap for Somebody.

We have a theory that when times
are a bit dull, the proper way to bring
pack prices is to reduce prices. Now
we offered an Atchison avenue lot the
other day for $500 and we did not sell
1t. Today we are offering the same
lot for $3.50 and IL we do not find a
buyer before $50 tonight, we are going
to cut the price down to 1870. 1t is
our intention to sell this lot even If we
have to reduce the proce every day to
do 1t.
Lot has east from and is situated be-
tween One Hundred and Eighteenth
and One Hundred and Seventeenth
streets Atchison avenue. 1t is a good
lot. thirty feet wide and 122 feet deey
Terms 81 down and 81 per week No
taxes and no interest until the lot is
paid for. Today the proce is $3.50.

RECORDER PROMISES BIC SENSATION WHEN HIS
TRIAL COMES OFF ON MAY r.
Declares He Did Not Give the Garbage Contract A. L. Daily
Because Of Friendship for That lndivduaI Pasewalk
Was the Lowest Bidder

City Recorder Hodapp states that he
did not employ A. L. Daily as city
garbage collector because of any
friendship for him. Fred Pasewalk
was the lowest bidder and wanted The
Job and offered to put up bond, and
he told Pasewalk that he could have
the Job. Pasewalk, however, consulted
an attorney and learned that this
would cause litigation, and did not
care to 90 to the expense. Then Daily
came to Mr.. Hodapp, and was told
the same, but he wanted the contract
and did not object to litigation, and
Mr.. Hodapp told him that he would
stand back of him. Effer was the
third highest bidder. Mr.. Hodapp
states that he would have much
preferred to have had Pasewalk had
the lob. and thinks that very likely
he would take it yet. He suggested
that inasmuch as he has not signed

injured late yesterday afternoon, by
being thrown from his dray when it
was struck by street car at the cor
ner of Front and Hickory streets, died

o'clock last evening without having re-
covered consciousness. His physician

sion of the brain, with probably a
fracture.

ing qualities, faithful worker, and
possessed happy disposition. He was
quiet and reserved in his demeanor,
but strongly attached to his family
and popular with all who knew him.
