TO REMODEL STORE.
N. A. Metz Preparing to Make Extern
sive Changes in Establishment.

N A. Metz this morning began prep
arations for making extensive changes
i'm his store on Quincy street, and the
result will be the elimination of the
cloak and millinary department en-
tirely devoting the entire store to the
mems clothing and furnishing depart
ments. The partition separating the
two sections will be torn out. and left
with large arches, making one large
store of the whole place. and giving
ample room for the display of goods.
At present the clothing department,
which occupies the original portion Of
the store i'm the Drittler building Is
lacking for room, and will be moved
over into the more recently added parts
of the establishment located in the
Scott block. Mr.. Metz's business has
grown to large proportions since it
was first founded and he has from time
to time added new sections by leasing
adjoining stores in the Scott block.
About four years ago he added a cloak
and millinery department, which is
now TO be closed out.

LOOKING FOR FoRGER.
John Sullivan is Wanted for Passing
Worthless Checks.

A warrant was issued yesterday for
the arrest of John Sullivan, charged
with passing worthless checks on va
rious Hancock firms, Harry James and
John Schabach being among those who
suffered from his efforts to get money.
The checks were for fifteen dollars
each and were drawn on the Superior
bank, made payable to e. f.. Sullivan.
While the checks are signed and en-
dorsed by John Sullivan, it is believed
that there is someone else implicated,
the body of the checks being written
in a different handwriting, indicating
that the writer was person of educa-
ton. The signature of Sullivan, on
the other hand. is very badly written.
on one of the checks an attempt had
evidently been made to disguise the
penmanship, but the general charac-
teristics were such that it was plainly
to be seen that both were written by
the same hand. The county police Of
ficers have been unable to locate Sui
Ivan and it is believed that he has
gone to Montana.

HOLIDAY EXCURSION RATES.
Usual Fare of One and Third Will be
Effective Dec. IL.

Christmas is only a little over three
weeks off and the railroads are be-
ginning to announce their holiday eX-
cursion rates. There is always a
large portion of the population that
goes away to spend the holidays at
the old home, and for the benefit Of
these the railroads offer inducements
in the way of reduced return trip
fares. W. |. McMaster. agent of the
South Shore and Mineral Range rail-
cock. has received notices during the
past week of the holiday rates from
copper country points TO places on its
own and connecting lines. The usual
round trip will be in effect, and tick
cts at these rates will be on sale
December II to 25, with return limit
good until January >. The earlier date
on which tickets will be placed on
sale is for the benefit of students of
some of the institutions of learning
closing earlier than others. This will
be the case at the Finnish college,
many of whose students live at some
distance and in consequence of which
the school closes earlier than the public
schools. The latter will close Thurs
day afternoon, December 23, allow
ing teachers to reach their homes by
Christmas eve.

there are two in the cast, and one OF
