A constant stream of people has been puring into the store from 8 a, m. until 10 p. m. every day since" the sale began, the crush at timesi necessitating temporary suspension of business in order to arrange stock and give proper attention to those already in the store. This great sale is the sensation of the day. Nothing approaching it has ever been seen in the Richmond shoe trade before. It's like will probably never be seen again. The people of Richmond have clearly demonstrated that they know the difference between sham "Sales" and the real thing. Our sale is an actual Closing Out Sale of 015,000 worth of fine shoes of the Curme shoe stock, regardless of cost or value. At the rate the stock is moving now, it will be cleaned up before the end of the sale period, and we urge every one who expects to take advantage of this opportunity, to lay in a supply of shoes at the unheard-of prices at which these are going, to C ORIE NOW ! The styles and sizes that you want may be here now, but gone next week.

any objections for her to supply her

husband with reading matter. "Not

In the least" replied McManus. .Mrs,

Ilaler then produced two five cent

novels, one entitled, "The Rough Wd

er Series'' and the other entitled

"The Uuffalo Bill Series." These were at once taken back to the jail lor Ilaler to feast his eyes upon. Ilaler and Runnels are both employed In the engine room at the Light, Heat and Power plant. The latter is nursing a deep plant. The latter Is nursing a deep scalp wound. If Runnels is Able to appear against Ilaler in the morning the latter's case will be heard in the city court. Tuesday evening while Ilaler end Runnels were at work in the engine room Ilaler accused Runnels of "squealing" on him. This led to words, and according to Ilaler, finally blows. Ilaler stated that Runnels, who Is a much larger man than Ilaler, struck him with his fist, knock

ing him to the floor. , Haler said that he picked himself up quickly and grabbed a club as Runnels was running toward him with an uplifted spade. Ilaler spates that to avoid being knocked ddwn with the spade he hit Runnels over the head with a club. There were no witnesses to the

fight, but the head engineer rushed Into the room just as Runnels was

floored by the blow from the club. The

injured man was taken to his home

and it was found necessary to take six stitches In closing up the wound.

Ilaler continued on with his work and was arrested this morning while in bed. Tells Different Story. ' Runnels tells a different story of the fight. He states that he apd Ilaler had had words over the alleged "squealing" on the part of Runnels, but had no idea that Ilaler was very mad. Runnels states that while he was bending over shoveling coal Into the furnace of the engine Ilaler sneaked up behind him and struck him over the head with an iron bar.

MEN'S SOCIETY TO MEET

The Rev. Huntington Urges a Good Attendance at St. Paul's Episcopal Church Tonight.

An organization for the furthering &nd advancement of church work, has leen formed in the Men's Missionary association of St. Paul's Episcopal church. An invitation to attend the initial meeting is embodied in the following circular letter: "Lent is a good time for beginning special church work, and there are many valuable and capable men who want to serve God, but do not know just what they could do for Him. They ask in surprise, "What could I do?" Are you one of these? Whether you ore or not, your presence is desired and needed at an initial meeting of the Men's Missionary association of St. Paul's Episcopal church to be held Thursday night, February 2S, at 7:30 o'clock, in the parish house. "Please be sure to be present and ing your ideas with you. "Faithfully yours, "DAVID C. HUNTINGTON."

AUTO PROSPECTS GOOD

FOR COMING SUMMER

twenty per cent of all ommitted taxes collected. There i3 a clause in the towns and cities code which states that the county treasurer shall collect taxes for both the county and the city. Under this law Mr. Charters could have insisted andthe point he maintained would probably have been upheld in any court of justice, that he was entitled to thirty per cent of the city's share of the taxes collected from the Gaar, Scott & Co. It is the opinion of all the attorneys that have been consulted, that the, city's contract with Mr. Charters is null and void on account of the fact that the city, by its treasurer', is no longer entitled to collect taxes. Mr. Charters stated to the city officials that if he insisted on thirty

per cent of the city's share of the Gaar, Scott & Co's. taxes he would

be taking unfair advantage of the

city during its effectiveness. Mr.

Charters' contract wth the city ex

pires next September. Since he lias been acting as tax adjustor for the

city he has placed over $200,000 on

the tax duplicate. His percentage has been high but the city officials are of the opinion that he has eavie. every

cent that has been paid to him as

he has placed in the city treasury, through his assistant W. E. Lowe, money that the city probably never would have collected. .

TOWN TOPICS.

"I have had the grippe four times

this winter," remarked a country man as he stood at the corner of Eighth and Main streets talking to Officer Scott Winters. "I have always been able to cure the grippe without much trouble," continued the rural resident. "All I do is to come to town, buy a pint of whiskey, drink five or

six other drinks, then go home about

my business entirely cured." Officer

Winters asked the old gentleman: "A

bout how often do you get the grippe?"

but this question was not answered.

THE ROYAL BOX.

The automobile business in Rich

mond is taking on a more business like appearance as will be shown by the fact that Messrs Draper and Whitesell, proprietors of the "Auto Inn" have made arrangements to

keep open night and day after the first of April. Mr. Whitesell says that there will be several new cars in Richmond this summer and that he expects a very large transient trade. Only repair work will be done during the day and all the machines will be washed and cleaned up after night. This will greatly facilitate both parts of the work and they will be able to give good service.

Giants Getting Ready. Manager, Mitchell, of the local col

ored ball team, the Giants, states that

the club will again be in the field the coming season, stronger and faster than ever. Negotiations are on for

Athletic Park but these grounds have not yet been secured as there are other teams trying to secure them. The Giants are confident they will secure these grounds again

The case of John S. Lackey against

the Indianapolis and Eastern traction for killing "Humane," one of his most valuable horses, which was to have been tried in the circuit court today, has been taken to Henry county on n change of venue. It is not likely that the case will come to trial until some time in April.
