CATCHING THE SUCKERS.

At the present time a certain Chi
cago mail order house is flooding the
country with special ~catalogs adver-
Using their annual February sale. At
this sale, they claim, is offered the
lowest prices Of the year, but a care
full perusal of their catalog shows that
in most instances their prices are
higher than merchants here in Brook
ings are asking for the same goods.
The catalog quotes a few articles at
ridiculously low prices and this bait
is what catches the unwary, who Of
course order other things just to make
up a shipment. You have to concede
it to the mail order houses, though,
they are run by first-class business
men who understand the value of adj
vertising and they keep at It all the
year around.

A TOWNS BEST AD.

How quickly can you tell a live town
from a dead one by simply looking
over it's newspapers. A poor skim
milk sort of a newspaper with a few
small advertisements and those look
ing as though they were run for moth
ing, betokens a dead town just as
sure as a corpse betokens a funeral,
while a good lively printed newspa-
per, filled with good fresh ads and
display locals shows that the town
is prospecting and thriving. 1t never
fails.

GETTING CLOSE
TO THE MURDERER
Sheriff Returns Without His Man But
Learned Much Of His Travels
May Soon be Caught

This morning Sheriff + b. Kettor-
ing. Deputy Baker Sheets and Police
man Charlie Riddle returned from
Pittsburg where they had been look
ing after Angelo di Constance who
murdered Raftaele di Constance at
the Big Springs on the morning OF
November u. The sheriff had been
notified that the murderer and the two
Italians, who He'd with him after the
murder, were at Upper HillsIlle, and
that if he arrived soon they could be
captured.
The sheriff and his assistants hur-
ried TO Pittsburg. aud from there they
went to Upper Hillsville. but before
arriving the birds had flown, and it is
thought they are hiding somewhere
in Pittsburg 1t is also believed that
the men became suspicious and fear
ing that they were being followed de
cided to leave, as on Saturday evening
they drew their pay from the coal
company and departed.
1t appears to be true that The three
men were at Upper Hillsyille and had
been employed there by a coal comp
any. After their arrival some stran-
gers had visited the place and this
seemed to arouse their suspicious and
they decided to leave. The murderer
is accompanied by his brother, Nieolo
di Constance and Nicola lacone.
The men are still being closely pur-
sued, and IL is confidently believed
that they will soon be apprehended.
This is the closest the authorities
have been to them since the murder
and since all OF the detective agencies
in the country are working on The
case, there is every reason to believe
they will be captured.
