An armed neutrality was patdied up, but Uitli Judge lllandin ami the prose prosecutor - cutor prosecutor have been sore all morning.

Mks Carroll knew nothing of the fact that I was taking money from tlie complines. lie knew for tlie first time on Wednesday night tliat 1 was In trouble, but ditl not know its nature.

In readinc some re cent advertisements, one is al most tempted to doubt Web- ster's ability to define the word in the light of ad advanced - vanced advanced (?) business methods. It some ot the ladies look at it as though it ought to mean to misinform, we cannot won wonder - der wonder at it. For instance, if we see a business house advertising that they are selling Dry Goods, or Shoes, or anything else at half price or less, and then find out that their goods are not worth one cent more than they ask for them, per perhaps - haps perhaps not as much, the only in information - formation information we eet from that advertisement is that some somebody's - body's somebody's conscience has gone to sleep. John McLaren & Bro. want to advertise in the old fash fashioned - ioned fashioned Websterian sense. We want to inform the people of Springfield that we are here to sell them Dry Goods, etc.. at the very lowest living price, and if we cannot sell as low as any house in the city we will gladly close up shop.
