Like Finding Money

Murg.ttroyd, the popular drug
gist, is making an offer that is just
like finding money, for he is sell
ing a regular so cent bottle of DR..
Towards celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dys-
pepsia at half price. In addition to
this large discount he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
whom the specific does not cure.
1t is only through the solicitation
of Druggist Murgittroyd that this
medicine could be bought for less
than so cents; he urged the pro-
prietors to alloy him to sell it at
this reduced price for a little while,
agreeing to sell certain amount.
The result has justified his good
judgment for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with head
ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour
stomach, specks before the eyes or
any liver trouble, should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity, for DR..
Howard's specific will cure all
these troubles. But If by any
chance it should not, he will return
your money.

the next highest bidder because
Exshaw cleverly agreed to offer to
furnish the city cement in 10 times
the quantity advertised for, and
vastly in excess of the needs of the
city at that time, for a slight reduc-
ton on the barrel.
The Exshaw contract has a lot
behind it that should be investi-
gated. Why was the contract for
the paving of Division street award
ed to contractor that was $4,000
higher than the low bidder? The
successful bidder, on getting the
work, Immediately proceeded to in
stall Exshaw cement on the job,
which must be passed upon ard ac-
cepted by City Engineer Ralston.
1t is intimated that the Exshaw
crowd has the inside track at the
city hall, and for this reason every
move in the cement line is being
watched closely

SWEET BILLIE.
BURKE,S FINE

At 10 o'clock Saturday morning
the box office at the Auditorium
opened for Love Watches" At
o'clock that afternoon the house
had been sold out" and from then
on until the curtain rose standing
room and gallery seats were sold.
Many tear was shed by a fair
one, and many swear word was
uttered by the male sex, because
they applied too late for tickets.
Billie Burke is all that she was
expected to be--and good deal
more. She is a regular Nell Brink
ley girl. Fellows look at pretty
girl pictures and exclaim that
there aren't really such dainty,
winsome, fascinating creatures, but
Billie is sure enough one of them.
The nearer you sit to the stage the
prettier she looks-al7d this is
proof positive. She has a perfect
bearing, with the most graceful,
fetching kind of ways about her.
And her hair-the women
"raved" over it. It's the real,
"unpainted" auburn, and the
Billie Burke curls are all there,
too, and they showed themselves
in alluring manner.
There isn't much to the play it.
self, but it's a delicate, light and
sprightly comedy which leaves a
smile on every face, and the COM
pany has been splendidly selected.
Ernest Lawford, as the historian
and admirer of the heroine, is a
close second to Miss Burke. He
creates a character and distinct
place for himself.
Here's to Billie Burke, and may
she always please her audiences
as she pleased Spokane last night

Queen Victoria and was compelled
because of financial reverses to
work for her living, twenty high
school students of this city paid
her SIS to enroll in Chopin
club" which she organized, and

they told to deputies in the dis
trict attorneys office oday.
II. IT. Henderson, a student at
the polytechnic High school, told
of neatly laid plan by means
of which, he asserted, he and his
companions had been swindled.
The police investigated the case,
and found a man who said he was

reverses, and declared that he

MORE ABOUT PRESS
CEMENT EXPOSURE

The exposure in The Press of the
manner in which the board of pub
lie works and city engineer juggled
a .1000-barrel contract for cemelt
into one for 10000 barrels has
caused no end of talk around the
city hall and among men doing pub
lie contracting.
City Commissioner Armstrong, in
an interview, says the city buys
Exshaw, the favored cement, in
10000 barrel lots for $2.75, but the
records show that agreed price is
$3.50 net or $500 gross, 40 cents
per barrel being rebated when the
city returns the sacks.
Requisition after reQuisition
have gone forth from the engineers
office and been allowed at that

against the price as the manner in
which the contract for the amount
advertised for was taken away
