Remember, this is certainly a golden opportunity for you to secure
anything you need at one half the price you would be obliged to pay
any other merchant or concern in all New Jersey. We must and will
turn this stock into cash in 10 days regardless of the enormous sacrifice.
Herald the good news, it is wonderful it is a premier effort in value CIV
ing without a counterpart. A bargain event that will surpass anything
ever attempted in the State of New Jersey characterized by thousands
Of surprises. A supreme master movement Of underpriced merchandise
dwarfng all similar events, ecipsing all other sales. An original direct
appeal to the economical instincts of thinking people to whom the saving
ofa cellar is equivalent to a dollar earned. The only question for you

money saving opportunity Of your lives? In ySEr widest dreams it
would be impossible for you to have even a faint conception OF the ex-
traordinary values Of the marvellous bargains offered. Prices will reach
the very lowest limit. Use your good common sense which nature has

~. Store Building Burned.
On, March 20 the store building
burned to the ground under suspi-
cious circumstances, and when he
attempted to collect the insurance
carried on the structure the case
was placed in the hands of Deputy
Fire Marshal E. A. Simpson. After
making an investigation that official
arrested Gruer, and later the pris-
oner broke down and confessed.
In doing so he implicated Roth,
by whom he had been employed at
Finlayson. According to his story,
the buildings at Klossner were in.
sured for $4,000, and he declared
that Roth arranged with him to set
fire to the store, pay over $500
of the insurance money and keep
the remainder for himself. Gruer
was sentenced to the st. Cloud re-
formatory, but was brought to st.
Peter to testify against Roth.

discussed at length, no action was
taken. The telephone post nuisance
was also taken up, and although
nothing was done at this meeting,
it is probable that at some future
meeting, something will be done pro-

Request From Mr.. Cooper.
City Engineer Blomquist then stat
ed that President Cooper of the
normal school wanted permission to
stretch guy wire from the smoke
stack of the normal school across
Cherry street. This permission was
granted, reserving the right to re-
move the wire when necessary.
A smoke consumer may be install
ed at the normal, but it is said
that there is not enough money in
the treasury at present to place
one in. However, C. M. Masters
has made arrangements so that when
enough money is secured, a smoke
consumer can be installed without
making any changes in the smoke
stack.
After allowing the usual number
of bills the meeting adjourned.
