Longer Storage Hours

Missouri people may now leave
their trunks, packages or freight

Heretofore at the expiration of
forty'eight hours the owner was

In moving his goods. The new law
also applies to car lots upon the

The action of Attorney General
Barker in applying for and secur-

injunction against the foreign fire
insurance companies which threat.

day fifteen or sixteen companies
notified the Insurance Department
that they had no intention what.
ever OF suspending operations in
Missouri on April 30 or at any
other time, and would continue to
take any risks offered them. Other
companies may take the same SEN
sible view, so there is a prospect of
the situation clearing up. The
Attorney General has taken steps
to secure the names of the officers
of the companies entering into the
combine and boycott at the Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg meetings to
lay before the Cole County Grand
Jury. and there seems to be little
doubt that criminal proceedings
will be instituted against them i'll
the emergency for such action |
arises. Those foreign companies
that do not suspend will be elm.

Will Audit Public Accounts

AT the suggestion OF State Audi.
tor Gordon the Missouri legislature
provided for expert auditing of the
accounts OF state officers, state I'm.
stitutions, etc, and for tie examina.
tion of the books of county and city
officers when such examination ia
requested or deemed necessary. All
state accounts, however, will be au-
dited once n year and the savings
to the state through the enforcement
of uniform systems of bookkeeping
and accounting are estimated at
something like half million dollars
year. On request Of county court
or on petition of 300 citizens the
state will audit the accounts Of coun-
ty officers. The honest official has
nothing Of course to fear from such
an examination.

TRADITION

TRADITION, it is said, OCCASIONAL
hands down the practical Arts with NOR
precision and fidelity than they can
transmitted by book from generation +
, generation, webster.
TRADITION is hard obstacle TO
some people to overcome.
Because an establishment, handlin,
JEWELRY, DIAMONDS, GOLD anC
SILVER WARE, Etc, has always ZEN
deavored to dazzle the passersby with &
brilliant array Of valuable articles, thi:
TRADITION is almost ;nsurmountablt
to the Jewelry Merchant.
This tradition we bow to. We recog.
nize it. We are just completing a front
to our house, No. lSl North Commerce
street, in which we believe our pride is
excusable.
But there is another TRADITION,
which we feel should be cast aside and
that DOCTRINE is the supposition that
exists in the minds of some that when a
Diamond or other valuable stone, or
Watch or other Jewelry is to be pur-
chased; because some other firm "of the
old SCHOOL, has previously served you,
that goods of equal merit cannot be Sc
cured from younger and more up-to-date
dealers.
Our store is accessible to ALL-very
conveniently located-but situated so that
we do not feel obliged to add even
Widows Mite" in figuring our profit,
in order to pay large rental for our
building Nevertheless, every article pur-
chased of us is guaranteed exactly as
represented-and that guarantee is backed
up in such manner as to satisfy the most
exacting. Try us once and if we cannot
demonstrate TO you that we can under
sell others, giving you identical value,
then We won't expect second Visit
BUT WE ARE CONFIDENT.
Now, there is an impression prevalent
among certain people that our Jewelry
stock is an adjunct to our Loan Depart
ment. We, as our name implies, con-
duct loan business, but it is a separate
and distinct department from our bust
ness as Jewellers; and it is because
we are enabled, because of unredeemed
pledges at times, to offer some most as
bargains to our trade, that we
believe it to our interest and yours to
continue the TWO DISTINCTLY SEPA-
RATE DEPARTMENTS.
Come in: inspect our stock; investigate
ns-if satisfied with our merchandise,
and standing, then let us figure with you
on your wants. We know We can salts

OLNEY SECURES
PROPERTY FOR SIS, 1000.

PHOENIX, July 19.-Geo. A. Olney
has purchased from Captain ]. L. B.
Alexander the old Alexander prop,
erty at the corner of Second avenue
and Adams street. The considera-
ton is said to have been $4,000.
The property has a frontage of $50
feet on Adams and a depth of 1879.
This is the third important deal in
which Mr. Olney has figured as the
purchaser within the last month or
two. The first was the CAM prop
erty on West Van Buren, street and
the second was the w. B. Twitchell
property at the corner of Washington
and Second avenue.
The Southwestern Building and In
vestment company had been engaged
in negotiations with Captain Alexan-
der for the purchase of the West
Adams street property and while
some of the directors believed that
it was a good purchase at the price
asked, the majority of the board was
not inclined to sanction the deal.
One member of the company yester-
day expressed disappointment at
missing the opportunity, saying that
he believed that all property in that
vicinity would double in value in the
next five years.

of the most desperate jail deliveries
in the history of the county seat.
Five prisoners, among them Luth-
er Parker, charged with first degree
murder, had made various pretexts
to the guards and had gotten out of
their cells. They got into the main
room, which is surrounded by bars.
One of the prisoners called guard
over to the bars and reaching
through the grating, seized him by
the throat. Other prisoners came to
the aid Of the first one, and while
the guard was held, his pockets were
rified and the keys to the jail Sc
cured.
In a few moments the prisoners
had opened the door and overpower-
ed the second guard. They were just
making for the main door of the jail
when Walsh, returning for his maya
zine, heard the cries of the guards
for help. Drawing his revolver he
dashed up to the jail. The prisoners
thinking that a general alarm had
been given, ran back to their cells
Walsh promptly secured the stoleI
keys, locked all the prisoners safely
in, secured his magazine and went
home.
