to four months In jail. The evidence
disclosed that the two boys had
gone TO the City Hall on Friday eve

giving an entertainment. Prot.
kenoley was door keeper and re-
fused them admittance. They assault

and stabbed Kenoley in the back,

dangerous wound. The two have a
bad reputation and aspire to be 10.
cal toughs and 1t Is always q serious
problem for the officers to know just
how to handle such characters. A
jail sentence has no terror for them,
and the rock-pile has proved unsat-

the term Of Sheriff, and from the dis
cussion / take II that the statement
made on such page is deemed to be q
ruling by this Office, that the term
elected In 1905 lei four years.
'That there may be no confusion
about this, and 10 order to make my
position clear In this matter, I desire
to say that the statement there
made is misleading and should have
been explained by saying that the
term Of Sheriff ives four years after
the election Of 1908, e. per Constitu-

A New Departure.

The Dry Goods merchants OF But.
Ter are reaching out after trade and
are Offering especial opportunities to
the buyers for the next twenty days
In their winter clearing sales. They
all realize that it pays them to make
reductions at this time OF year and
are jointly saying to the people
through the advertising columns of
The TIMES that they are willing and
ready to make the sacrifices.
The advantages offered the people
BY. all the merchants holding their
clearance sales at the same time,
gives large stocks and greater varie-
ties to choose from
This is not a combination In the
matter Of an agreement on prices, as
each merchant makes his own prices
and runs his sale on his own pa
These four combined sales at oV
time ought to attract trade from an
over the county and no doubt will.

amendment by the Senate authorizing
the Postmaster General to contract
" it'll steamship lines running to ports
OF South America, the Philippine Is
lands, Japan, China and Australia.

Jay to vessels Of the second class the
same rate that Is now paid in Ameri-
can vessels of the first-classi to Eu-
rope and TO vessels of the third class
the rate now authorized for vessels of
the second class.
There are no American lines of the
first-class to the countries named, and
the effect of this legislation Will be to
encourage the establishment of pas
senger and mail steamship lines to
orts OF those countries. Although
the payment is to be made for the car
rying of the mail and is not termed
subsidy, it will amount to that never
