believe that time courts are entitled to a

guilty or stealug $50 ho would have been
convicted at once.
Kearney Hub : There can bo no higher or
moro Imperatve duty devolving upon the

alel among cIvilized people. The previous
offenses or Darret Scot have nothing to
do with the case. and do not justify a crime
so foul and diabolical. Tile murderers
should get the full benefit or the law.
Auburn Granger : As the case now stands

We're Cutting h'lces--
That's an assertion so easily made that every once
il.1 a while somebody makes suoh a remark-they
may mean it-We don't know-but we do know-
that-we are cutting prices-and we are cutting prices
as we never out prices before , A good long blaok
beaver overcoat with an ulster collat'-our $30 coat
is cut to $15-How's that-also a genuine Irish frieze
ulsier cut from $28 to $15 ; downright good coat-
Same way all through the suits and overcoats. We've
added a lot more pants to our cut pi'ioo counte-aL
-$2-$2.50-$3.OO-$3.75. Pants in the lot worth -
and formoi'ly sold as high as $7. All good trouseers-
our own good make-Oh , we're cutting prices and.
cutting prices hard.
