Mrs. John Willis is very anx
ious to locate her brother Patrick
James Lirwiu, who was last heard
of at Elgin, Ills., just prior to the
Spanish American war. His pres
ence is wanted to settle his father's

Miss Clara Heller, formerly an

turned to her old stamping ground
the first of the week. There is no
place like home when that home is
in St. Johns.

Mr. J. II. Long of DonucII &
Long, Portland, who is interested
in the St. Johns Gas Light nud
Heat company was in the city Wed
nesday looking after the interests of
his company. He says that Duvidor
is out of the company entirely, has
not n thing to do with it, but that
it is in entirely other hands. Those
who have it now are going to begin
active work of construction within
a short time and will make a cash
deposit bond to guarantee good
faith. He will place a representative
here iu St. Johns to take care of
things here as soon as arrange
ments can be effected. It now,
really looks as if something was go
ing to be done to make the propo
sition materialize.
The spoons we offer are warrant
ed solid nickel silver, the same met
al clear through, therefore there is
no plating to wear off. If tliey be
come tarnished through use, as all
silver will, a little Bon Ami or any
good scouring soap and elbow
grease will brighten them up and
will not injure litem lit tlie least.
The skatinc rink is nuain iu op
eration. Tills time under the man
agement of Mr. C. M. Thomas.
Mr. Thomas is an experienced and
successful rink manager and aspires
to operate the rink in such a man
ner that the most refined, will be
r!pfis1 to mtronize him. He savs
he never operated a rink on Sun
days and will follow his rule here,
keeping the rink opeu every day

lug uwuy Willi uu uum, su iiiui, ut
ter he pets his floor and skates all
clenned un. there will not be suffi
cient dust on the floor to soil the
most delicate fabric. We certainly
hope Mr. Thomas may do well aud
helieve he will. There is no more
delightful or more healthful exer
cise and it a man runs the rink as
Mr. Thomas proposes, he should
have the heartv support of the best
people of the city.

Klectric Unlit is tliu magnet Unit draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People cn
110 more resist the attraction of u brilliant, Hlcctricully linhtml

Is your competitor with thelilectrlcully llltiuihmted show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Hlectric .Sign netting
nn advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the
unlighted candid Up-to-date stores nowadays cousidor
shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain ojhiii
after dark or not. Couicutioit forces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klectric
light will mnke many a sale "the night before." Hlectric
light coiuiels attention, makes easy thu examination of your
display, shows goods iu detail and fabrics hi their true colors.
And don't neglect the Hlectric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name iu the public mind. It is a solicitor that never
