Merchants Day.

Time is Money-You're way behind
the times; that's why you're losing
money. You haven't been advertis-
ing; something had to be done. so you
have decided to give the people from
the country, and surrounding towns.
the time of their life on Thursday,
June 10Th. You've agreed to sell mer-
chandise on that date, at or below
cost. and give the good people grand
fete as an inducement to draw trade;
but when, and how are you going to
get your money back? Got that fg-
ured out? THE guy that bought the
checked suit of Chas. Ward, couldn't
wear it out, so he tried to work the
checks off on some of the good people
of his home town, and had to leave
in hurry; you won't see him again;
so his trade Is no good. THE lady
that bought the new suit, silk hose
and suit case of Walter, left on the
4.50 train this morning for Reno, New
ada, you won't see her again. And
we'll the people had mighty good
time and went home loaded down with
genuine bargains; but you know how
the new kind of wears off and peo-
pie forget; you've got to refreshen
their memory; keep your name and
business ever before them. How
Advertise. 20, you did? Well
you're on the wrong side. Have Bob
Bigelow paint you new sign in gold
silver or any color, or style lettering
to suit your fancy; have that wagon
lettered; have him put your Ad on the
fences, or any conspicuous place
along all the roads leading into town
You never knew he was an artist a
this; just because he never advertis
ed. We've always kept in the back
ground just where some of you have
been but let's come to the front ant
do business; let the people know it
how! - why Advertise of course; WI
can make 'em sit up and take Cotice
viii be pleased to give YOU an esti
mate on any thing In this line; we II
right here with the goods. SO it's up tt
you.

ORDERS new JAIL
Morton County Judge Tells
Commissioners Few Things.
Don't Put Prisoner in Old
Structure.

RichfieId, Kan, May 12.-Judge G. H
Downer, of the district court, has or
dered the Morton county commission
ers to erect a new Jail and instructed
the sheriff not to confine prisoners IN
the present Jail hereafter. County Off
Gals received much severe criticism
here recently when a negro, the only
person condemned to Jail in this coun-
ty during the past 20 years, was al
lowed to run at large because OF the
unsafe and unsanitary condition of the
county bastile. In his order to the
commissioners Judge Downer reminded
them that the advent Of the Santa
Fe's Colmor cutoff is causing the magic
development of new towns and settle
ment of the southwestern counties.
New people will mean more criminal
business and a modern Jail will soon be
needed. However, Judge Downer in
sists that no prisoners be confined IN
this county till a new jail is built.
