They Want Your Trudr.

Week before last The Times con sisted of l4 pages. Last week We were compelled to make 1t l6, and this week we are very much crowded with Iii pages of space, Much Of this space
 has been sod 10 enterprising mer- chants Of this city merchants who have tie goods and are liberal and will treat you right if you will call upon or phone them. They want your trade, and are Sparing no means to supply your every need at the lowest prices.
 The fact that they are advertising is strong proof that they will treat you liberally by selling you goods at closest prices. It pays to trade with men who advertise, because they are men who know the various roads leading to sue cess, and they employ them in their business. Advertising, fair dealing, honest goods at honest prices. these are some of the foundation stones upon which they build Read their advertisements. They are very inter- esting, and mean money 10 you But We started out to say that though mHch of our space is taken by adver- tisers, yet we have many columns of local, state and world news. We are just little proud of The Times, but prouder still of the constituency which It serves, because they make it posSi- ble and necessary for us to print pa- per of this magniture and character. We hoped to pr mt 20 pages this week, but have not been able 10 do the so- liciting, hence must be satisfied with l6, and here they are We are proud of them and proud that We live in For rest City.

FLED AFTER LOSING PISTOL

Without sign of warning. and
While all the house were seated about
the supper table. NJ F. Watson, q.
boarder with the family, last night
pulled pistol from his pocket and
fired point blank at Mrs. NJ j. Boze, OF
920 North Twenty-seventh Street. She
was SO startled that she was nable
to move. but before Watson could fire
again Mr.. Boze had wrested the re-
volver from his grasp. Every one rose
from the table, and there was turmoil
in the house. Watson. bareheaded, ran
into the street and disappeared.
Watson, who is an employe at the
Richmond Cedar Works, has been a
boarder with Mrs. Boze for nearly o
year, and nothing eccentric had been
noted in his habits. But last night
according to such information as
could be gathered. he appeared to
have been drinking, No other cause
for his attempt on Mrs, Bozes life
could be assigned They had never
.4uarreled, it was stated, and Watson
had seemed to be satisfied.
Sat Down Quietly.
He came in as usual last night. and
when the call for supper came, took
his seat with Mr., Boze and his wife
and the other members of the family
Mrs Boze was i'll the act of raising
cup of coffee to her mouth when
Watson was seen to put his hand to
his hip. A shot rang out, and Mrs,
Boze sat still for second. The bullet
passed under her upraised arm, went
the through the chair on which she
was seated, and entered the wall be-
hind her back.
Mr. Boze, who was seated near Wat
son. Jumped for him. and grabbed the
pistol. The tussle lasted hardly an
appreciable length OF time before Mr..
Boze gained possession of the gun.
Then Watson jumped UP and ran on,
Of the house and was gone.
Watson is about twenty folr--years
Of age, and is unmarried.

MYERS PRESENTS REASONS

Unanimously calling upon Chairman

ocratic Committee to order a conven.
tfon of the party in Virginia for the
purpose of writing platform, "prio,
to any nomination for the Generai
Assembly" the City Democratic Com.
ntttee of Richmond last night put the
movement for a convention In forma,
motion. There was considerable dc
bate, but no real objection to thu
proposition to have platform con
vention of the Democrats of Virginia.
After setting forth the demand for
such a meeting. and it's need from the
standpoint OF furnishing a list of prin.
ciples on State issues, the resolutions
say that matters of vital Importance

a chart BY which candidates can steer
their course. Roads. schools. the In

AURORA, ILL.,. Feb. 1t.-One OF the
oldest complaints ever made against
an electric railway may find its way
into the civil courts of Kane county.
1t has to do with the alleged loss of
sleep and consequent loss of milk of
dairy herds stabbed along the Aurora,
Elgin and Chicago railroad. This line
is known as the "third-rail' road be-
cause it gets power from an elevated
rail on the roadbed instead of taking
it from an overhead trolley line.
The road traVerses section of
dairy country in which there is a barn
close to the track at frequent intervals.
When the aforesaid third rail is Gov
cred with sleet and there is deal OF
ice on the other rails, the powerful
current has an awful spectacular play
under the car rails. There are Contln-
ual binding flashes, as if thunder
storm were plowing the earth and
tearing it up with terrible impact.
The flashes of electric light are sui
ficient to illuminate the right of way
and the farms back several hundred
feet The light is attended with a
kissing and cracking, as if a regiment
of cowboys had invaded barnyara
and were all cracking blacksnakes at
the same time. The light flasnes
through the windows of the dairy
buildings with frightening effect. Inc

mobiles at the auto show the Welch
car is noticeable for the interest be-
ing taken in it by many admiring V1s-
itors. This handsome model 1910 car
being shown by Blinn Kinehan,
agents for Southern California, is one
of the fanciest high class cars of the
show, and the display in booth NUM-
ber seven is a kind of a rendezvous for
many enthusiasts during the display
hours.
AS Manager Kinehan Of the Welch
agency in Los Angeles says: 1T is
one of the pleasures Of participating In
show of this kind to exhibit a high
class car that proves the center of at
traction to visitors. The Welch contin-
ues to hold its own as it has always
done in open competition with the
high class cars OF the best makes,
and we feel good over the fact that
we are offering the automobile lovers
of Southern California in the Welch,
a car that is known all over the
world for it's many advantages. Many
of the globe trotters of the country,
who travel with their own autos When
ON pleasure trips are owners of Welch
cars. and this is substantial evidence
of the popularity of our cars"
