A STRANGE CASE OF
MISTAKEN IDENTITY

An aged and wealthy farmer was robbed in daylight by a man
who bore a close resemblance to a ~neighborng farmer. The latter
was arrested, and was identified by several witnesses, including a
woman in the house, whom the robber had maltreated. By the
agency Of a man in Philadelphia, who had a revenge to crafty,
the arrest of the real criminal was effected in Chicago, and he has
confessed the crime. But for the revelation thus made an innocent
man, even if he was not convicted, would go through life with a
brand Of criminality upon him. And only the revenge of a person
unknown to him against the real criminal served to clear him Of
the crime. ~

The supreme court of the state has
declared the peddlers' license law
unconstitutional. This Is the law
that was introduced and passed by
D. Robertson, of Argyle, representa-
tive from this district, at the last $685.
sion of the legislature. In its findings
the supreme court holds the law to
be class legislation, and therefore in
conflict with the state constitution.
Further. the tax. which is on a grad
uated basis, is held to be in opposition
to the taxing regulations of the state.
Now that Mr.. Robertson's second at
tempt to secure a peddler's license
law has been knocked in the head by
the supreme court, the full court con-
curing, he will probably make no
further efforts in that direction. His
first attempt, at the session previous,
ran up against Gov. Johnsons veto,
also on constitutional grounds. The
object of the law, in the opinion of
many people. is meritorious but some
other method muct be devised that
does not SAVIOR of class legislation
Peddlers should be taxed same as
other business men-but not with a
view of taxing them out of business.

A Hint To Clothes Buyers.
N/HEN buying suit Of clothes It is Of great
- to you how it will you. Find out
first the goods has been thoroughly shrunk and
we'll tailored True enough, suit thus constructed
must necessarily cost than which is not.
because the manufactures make as many suits of
piece Of goods after has been shrunk he with
out shrinking it. piece of worsted generally contains
about 50 yds after has been shrunk there is probably
10 yds. less and thus the material goes up in value
Besides, the brilliant use has been considerably essened
in the process Thus you may find suit of denticay
the cloth in $500, as you find in an
other at $500 $4,000 and even then the merchant
that has this suit $500 makes perhaps the biggest
percentage Of profit since the manufacturer who does
shrink the goods before making generally employs
poor tailoring Maybe only "sewed up the stuff and
shipped it. The consequence any is that the suit
you pay $4,000 for, in this case will three
times long, and looks better any time thus giving
better service and satisfaction #.*: F.. :#
