how to ct to keep out Of jail. With the numerous amendments to existing
la and with III many inventions n layman safely trust him
self to discover the nw enactnents and their meaning. In addition to
changes In the criminal law there have been numerous enactments o.. the
questions OF government such rs elections, taxation, etc. The codes of
civil PROCEDURE and criminal procedure have been changed and the license
system has been revised In many particulars.
The, confusion is perhaps no worse than usual, but it is interes sting
to find that 1t cannot be laid at the door OF The lawyers. There wa one
lawyer In the senate and two in the assembly. All the rest were men Of
no o little legal education, They do not seem to have improved the law

Most of the laws enacted by every legislature n gotten up and

during the process of passage. That Legislator maybe considered well

graft Is rampant among the caterers. This condition has resulted IN a
great deal OF dissatisfaction among patrons Railroad men state also that

that the attendance will be greatly curtaned. This harvest has been look

INDEPENDENT MEAT co.

The trade life of Everett is as dis
tinctive in quality and price as those
of other communities of the state, a
fact which is we'll known by the many
persons who constitute the patrons of
the Independent Meat company, To-
Gated in the Public Market on Hewitt
avenue. This company is entitled to
large trade on account of the fact
that it is a distinct union" establish
ment, and calls for trade recognition
from that large class of citizenship of
Everett and it's vicinity. The loca-
ton in the Public Market of the In
dependent company's supplies is al
ways one of the busiest of places, and
the reason that it is so busy and al
ways crowded with anxious buyers is
because they vertically slash prices
below the market figures. The house
hold community always takes a delight
in securing bargain prices in meat
supplies particularly, and the "Inde-
pendent" is just the place that most
advantageously offers the opportunity.

that of the Everett Public Market, To-

many trade conveniences, notably in
the fact that every required trade
want for the household table can be
secured at prices cOmparably cheaper
than at any other establishment The
market combines features of attrac
ton, consisting of separate stalls de-
voted to supplies such as meats, gro
ceries, fish, provisions, and almost ev-
cry conceivable want for the house

household table. A woman's exchange
embraces features of the market,
where homemade articles can be
bought or sold. The different depart

idea that purchases of every descrip-
ton can be made without leaving the
place, thus affording a convenience
that is appreciated by every one in
the know"

as wines and liquors owe their popu-
