brisk-fully up to Our expectations.
Every man who saw this shipment

say that this particular car Of Mules
was as fine a bunch Of Mules as ever
came to this market. and the best evi.
dence that this verdict Is correct Is the
number of Sales and Exchanges that

real identity of goods classed as con-

Mr.. Dolan explained in detail the re-
peated use Of the same type compost

pany figured on a profit Of % cents Z

proceedings Of the common council In
others where the bid was sl25 per page,
and the same type composition was used,
profits of $40 per page was figured
upon.
In testifying about reports of the
Board Of Education, MIR. Dolan said
the contract with the board was for
printing at s1.55 a page, its regular BIZ
monthly reports. An item In the books
of the Argus Co. showed that 1899 copies
Of an annual report compiled from the
weekly reports had been billed to the
journal Co These reports, said the
witness. were furnished to the Board of
Education for mailing. Mr. Dolan told
how the type from which the bi-monthly
reports were struck off was kept in
forms until the order for the 1000 copies
Of the annual report was received
Now wasn't the report of the Board
of Education also printed in the pro-
ceedings of the common council?" asked
Mr.. Bowers.
Yes" replied the witness

nrirted IN three sena rate ocoa siops rro,,,

That is correct replied Mr. Dolan.
Did you charge the fair market price
for your work."
There was no market price
Were you under an agreement with
the Journal Co. to give Is per cent for
all orders received from the common
council?"
I'VE agreed to pay Is per cent If we
should get the work of printing their
extras"
Were YOU printing for the Board of

Yes
And did you pay 15 per cent. upon
your contract"
Il do not recall. replied Mr.. Dolan.-

direction Of .'zsok pass and tc the west
ii the direction of Cracow. That great
battle was being fought in Western
tSalicia was indicated in dispatches sent
out from Berlin several days ago. 1t
was then revealed that the Russians in
order n avoid the disastrous effect Of
the fire of the heavy Austrian artillery
had evacuated all their positions at Tar
