Those curtains have not sold as they should.

Is the trouble with the ad- vertising of them?
 One thing is sure; it is not with the curtains themselves
 They are simply great value and great style.
 Yet they have not sold as they ought to. Why only about half of the over 700 pairs have been disposed of.
 And they are so good, that not a single one should be here now.
 Maybe we did not tell you of them as we should. May be we did not make clear the style and goodness that is in them and the littleness of their price. Sometimes we fail when we think we are succeeding. Maybe this is one of those times.
 Here they are; yours still to choose from. About $50 pairs in excellent styles and worth $1.75 to $3.50,-
 .25 to $2.50 Tucked muslin curtains finished with a ruffle and with Renaissance edging and inserting, worth 75c pair -59c. Ideal for use in cot tage or in bedroom. {

The defendant is sum- moned to appear before Justice Will liam T. Mullins, city hall, at o'clock a.. m., June II.

 The writ was issued by Henry J. Waters. Justice of the Peace.
 Lawrence J. Gill was recognized as surety in the sum of S10.
 Col. Havens' refusal to fulfil the con- tract is said to be based on the ground that 1t was a gambling contract and against the laws of the state; and sec ondly that he has information that the game was not on the level, that pro- fessional players were engaged and that there is intimation the umpire was bribed. The writ will be filed with the town clerk this afternoon.

MESSAGE ALMOST READY

Mayor Lee completed his annual message to-day. Among the matters he touches is the purchase of land for a public playground in the West End. He suggests that hereafter boards ask for just what they will need instead of asking for more than they need with the expectation that the requisi- tion will be cut down. In touching up- on the excessive expenditure of the charities department he states that it has been the rule rather than the ex- ception for this department to exceed it's appropriations.

port from the legislature on any sub
ject that would be encouraging. The
members Of the legislature were
elected as democrats. but he did not
think the rest Of the democrats In
the state were responsible for .he
actions OF the bunch. He thought
that 1t was travesty upon repre-
sentative government that 100 alleg-
ed democrats could talk themselves
to death for seventy-five days and
defeat the very measures that nine
tenths of the people Of the state
wanted. He thought that . primary
election law, with the convention
system included was simply absurd.
and that was about the kind Of a
law the democratic bunch at the
state house was going to pass. Not
until the people get closer to the
government. and we have not only
the primary election law, but the
initiative and referendum. the recall,
and few more panaceas. would we
have an ideal government. After
the Judge had handed his democratic
friends q few more punches he re-
tired amid loud and enthusiastic
applause.

Snowfall in the Mountains.

The snowfall during February was
above the average for the month,
except in the vicinity Of the Sangre
de Cristo and Culebra ranges. The
month was notably stormy; in many
localities along the continental divide
snow fell on twenty days, and at
several places the number Of days
with snow was even greater. The
old snow is packed. but the current
fall, being light and feathery, has
been badly drifted by the prevailing
high winds. Huge drifts formed and
gulches were filled and railroad trav-
el interrupted. Many correspondents
report that the seasons snowfall has
been the greatest since the winter Of
1889. and that = heavy now il In

cur will depend upon the character
Of the weather conditions during the
