MURPnY-MARIIN
COMPANY BACK
IN OLD Home
Popular Firm Receives
Friends in Handsome New
Quarters with Fine Stock.

Back in its old home again, after
being forced to seek temporary quar-
ters elsewhere for part of its big
stock, because of a fire, the Murphy
Martin company is located again, in
its old stand in Main street, and is
receiving it's friends and customers
with complete stock of new goods,
in each of its several departments
The handsome and cOmmodious
quarters Of the company are fitting
setting for the latest things in cloth
ing, millinery and dress accessories
that are being shown by the popular
firm. The greatest interest centers.
as always with the gentler sex, in
The ready to wear and millinery de-
partments, and here the firm holds
its own in this field
The millinery department is Il
veritabe garden of flowers, ribbons,
tulle, chiffon and the other things to
go to adorn miladis pretty head this
early spring season. Big hats and lit
tie; wide hats and narrow; tall hats,
and low effects; hats with flowers,
hats with ribbons, hats with both
flowers and ribbons, and just plain
hats, are there, in such bewildering
assortment and such array of num-
bers, that mere man wonders how
any one woman can find the bonnet
that suits her best.
Mrs. O. Campbell, who is in charge
of the millinery department., has ar
ranged display of millinery that is
strictly up to now, there being shapes
in velvet, in lace, in straws, with all
the varied trimmings. She is taking
pardonabl pride in the results of her
recent visit to the eastern markets
and the big style shows, and not with
out due cause.
In the ready to wear department,
there are dresses for all occasions.
in wide range of materials, cuts and
designs. The silk marFlisettes and
the pussywillow silks are the mate
rals evidently most popular, although
the taffetas and the voiles. in stripes
and checks and shadow checks are
worn in seemingly equa! extent.
Whites and blacks are unusually pre-
dominant in the seasons designings,
the lack OF dye stuffs perhaps being
responsible for the great prevalence
of white this year, although there
are worlds of the prettiest of colored
effects to be had.
The Murphy Martin company is
having a dual celebration now, in
that it is enjoying sort of house
nual spring style opening, and the
friends of the firm are warmly con-
graduating it upon the double event.

But the beauty and the joy of our

Emporia we all know Tom O'Connor-
and love him. Who knows Morgan in

not know George Newman, our banker

his frailties as readers who begin the
narrative of an old friends adven-
lures.
Our papers, our little country papers,
seem drab and miserably provincial to
strangers, yet we who read them read
in their lines the sweet, intimate story
of life. And all these touches of ma
ture make us wonderfully kind. 1t ;
the country newspaper, bringing to-
gether daily the threads of the town s
life, weaving them into something rich
and strange and setting the pattern as
it weaves, directing the loom and Civ

lives of all people in its color pot-it
is this country newspaper that reveals
US to ourselves, that keeps our country
hearts quick, and our minds open, and
our country faith strong.
When the girl at the glove counter
marries the boy in the wholesale house
the news of their wedding is good for
a forty-line wedding notice, and the
forty lines in the country paper give
them self-respect. When in dues course
we know that their baby is a twelve
FOUNDER, named Grover or Theodore or
Woodrow, we have that neighborly
feeling that breeds real democracy.
When we read of a death in that home
we can mourn with them that mourn.
When we see them moving upward in

the country club neighbOrhood we re-
joice with them that rejoice. There

local stories, it's tiresome editorials on
the waterworks, the schools, the street
railroad, the crops and the city print
ing, don t throw down the contempt

there is nothing in it. But know this,
and know it well; If you could take the
clay from your own eyes and read the
little paper as it is written you would
find all of God beautiful, sorrowing,
struggling, aspiring world in it, and
what you saw would make you touch

PASSING OF AN
EMPIRE BUILDER

In the death of James J. Hill, which
occurred at st. Paul the other day, that
city, as well as the entire Northwest.
suffered a severe loss.
Some so years ago Mr.. Hill went to
st. Paul from Canada, working his way
up the Mississippi river as a deekhand.
on a boat owned by Commodore n. W.
Kittson, who was afterwards associat.
ed with him in the purchase of the old
st. Paul & Pacific, which ran for eighty
miles west of the Minnesota capital.
With nothing but indomitable courage
and ambition. Hill at once began lay
ing the foundation of his immense for
tune. He took a position in Kittson' $
warehouse on the river front, and in a
short time was the best posted man IN
transportation problems on the river.
When the road above referred to de
faulted in interest payments on its
bonds, Hill went to Kittson, and Sc
cured the money with which to pur-
chase it, and from that short fright
of-way and streak of rust'' has been
built up the great railroad system
which now serves an empire.
1t is related of Hill that he was one
of two men in the United States who
could borrow money at the Vatican IN
Rome. Be that as it may, he certainly
yraa M mo rrbo couIJ aeoomnIcb
that end, for he is credited with having
borrowed the money from Leo XIII. 20
extend his road to the Pacific coast.
He was a very democratic man, and
could be seen most any morning in the
year in st. Paul walking from his home
to his general offices. On the way he
gave a hearty "good morning. to near
~ all he met, calling them by name.
lie was personally acquainted with all
the heads of departments in his shops,
as well as most of the men, and when
ever there was any trouble it was usu-
ally referred directly to him.
When he first began work on the old
st. Paul, Minneapolis q Manitoba rail
road, which ran from the Minnesota
Twin cities to Winnipeg, there was a
wilderness from the Minnesota Dakota
line west to Puget Sound, with small
settlements few and far between. Dur
ing his lifetime he saw this country
changed from an Indian hunting ground
to a prosperous and populous empire,
due in a great measure to the efforts
of himself and the late Henry Willard,
who built the Northern Pacific.
James j. Hill was a good citizen, a
kind husband and father, a man who
never forgot a friend or forgave an
enemy.
