 So adjonrning between two hacks that were lined up along the sidewalk they proceeded to flip the coins and drop them out on the best two out of three plan.
 Just then Officer Stokes, who is de- tailed to preserve order at the depot, saw the dusky ones as they tossed the nimble coin In the aid, and sweeping down on them like a thousands of bricks, gath cred them in.
 There were six in the bunch, and each was required 10 contribute simoleons to swell the bursting coffers of the city treasury, which is going some for in dulging in a pastime that is as prevalent as a g thirst in md-summer time.
 They were hacked. all right, and the next time they want to indulge in a little amusement 1t won't be matching nickels between four wheeled vehicles.

 The Moose delegation from this city at tended the convention in special train operated by the Frisco lines and allied connections. Frank A. Morrow was as- signed to accompany the train by Capt. J. R. McGregor, the Frisco local passen- ger traffic representative in this city.
 The Order of Moose is one of the strongest of the younger orders,'' said MT. Williams. "The next meeting will be held in Kansas City, land at that gather ing our growth will be far better than at this time.

$36,0OO 0FFERFORLEA
  Melville Drennen Says Firm Will Occupy Both New and Old Stores

That an offer of $36,000 had been re- fused for the new Drennen building lease, corner Second avenue and Twentieth street, and that the present five story building occupied by that firm, would be continued a hardware and vehicle store. was the statement of W. NJ. Dren- nen. of Drennen company, yesterday.
 Business conditions have taken on quite a better outlook and an offer of $S8. 00O for the Drennen lease was made menting upon 1t said the persons desir- ing the lease did not intend to lease any part of the place a saloon
 MT. Drennen in discussing the situa- ton, said the firm now carried probably the largest line of vehicles south of the Ohio river, and intended to add to that immense stock when the new building is completed The entire store on Second avenue, now occupied as the department store is to be turned into hardware store and vehicle establishment
 Our firm intends to occupy the Sec ond avenue store, corner Twentieth street. as originally planned said MT. Drennen. Ut is true that we have re- fused an offer of s96,OO0 for our lease, but that was declined. The reason for that was that the entire building will be oc- cupied by our department stores. We have also retained our present building and will operate that as a vehicle and hardware department. Our business has increased fast that we have not had sufficient room to take care of the hard ware and vehicles. That will not be the case after October 1, as the present build ing will be fully capable of handling that line as well as the hardware
 MT. Drennen said yesterday that a con tract had been let for the interior show cases and fixtures of the new building
 Tt is our intention to use the most modern methods of keeping our stocks, '' said MT. Drennen. ITO this end We have let contract for the show cases and fixtures, involving a considerable sum Of money. They will be here and installed by October l, when we will open for business
 D. M. Drennen, of Drennen company, is in New York at this time outlining some purchases for the new building.
