at o'clock this morning Occupants OF
the trio OF Pullmans were thrown from

MERCANTILE ASSOCIATION
WILL MEET THIS EVENING

The Mercantile Association will hold
a meeting tonight in the rooms at SIS
Market street and plans for a celebration
to be held in the near future will be dis
cussed. Since the plans for the hallow-
cen celebration We're not carried out, the
members of the Association feel that one
ought TO be held for tho purpose of
interesting the people in their city and in
cidentally promoting the interests of the
merchants.
There is no doubt but that IL the hallow-
cen observance had materialized it would
have been a fine success and although il
is not hoped TO have the kind of a celebra-
tion that was at that time proposed the
members Of the Mercantile Association are
Of the opinion that less pretentious cele-
bration would be very egectve in promot-
ing the civic spirit and in rebounding 10
the benefit of the mercantile interests OF
this city.
II is expected that tho members will act
favorable upon tho proposition and ap-
point a committee or else allow the COM
mittee that was appointed at halloween
TO look after the arrangements Besides
discussing this plan, thcro will also be
a discussion on the subject "The power OF
