A few weeks ago the meetings reached the "Tongues of Kire" stage, but then ouly one man, a young man named Williams, who came here from the Salem iiiiHxion. talked In tbe un- known tongues. The meetings were I hen noisy, hilurlous affaire aud quieted down In response to popular feeling and a shower of fresh eggs on New Year's eve. Williams aud a Mrs. Reese, who also came here from Salem, then left for fortlaud and the meetings recently have been more quiet. Young Williams returned here two days ago aud last night he meeting waa the uiot fanatical exhibition ever seen in this city. Frenzy was worked up early in the evening and for hours the worshippers rolled, moaned, wept, sang aud chattered in the strange jargon. A young girl lay on the floor bysterioal for a long time, her body qoiveriug aud trembling, while others lay stretched out on benches almost in the same conditiou. The door of the uiissiou was locked at 10 o'clock, iu response . to a former order of the police that the meetings mast close at that hour, but it was then that the worst part of the meet ing began. No outsiders were ad mitted, but were permitted to watch the railing through the windows and tbe chattering tougues oould be heard pluiuly from the outside.

Uncle Sam has stopped Seirn, Roebuck & Compauy's mail U times for fake deals like this bnt has never been able to catch them. Sears is probably worth nine or teu mill ions. Roebuck is working in Des Moines, Iowa, for $18 per week, being forced out of business several years ago. As an illustration of how this firm makes money. About a year ago they bought 3000 bicycles all alike, and they placed three prices ou the same wheel, which cost them $r.o0 aud they sold it for $12.75, lift. 25, and $10.&0. The same wheel, mind you, possibly a different color of paiut; but the ouly difference was that some people wanted a $12. 75 wheel aud others a $16.00, aud they all got what they wanted. They work the same graft on clothing. Iu cata logues they advertise clay worsteds at $12.50, $15 aud $is. No matter what yoo pay, you set the suit. The name Sears, Roebuck & Company is their trade mark and as Roebuck has been baukropt for several years he is uot counected with the firm. Montgomery Ward is practically dead and has been for several years. et these people have been so successful iu s ealing from the publio such large sums that it is wonder Uncle bam allows them to exist. Their advertisements are j deceptive. They do not fill orders as 1 the customer thinks they ate filled, yet they are sniuoth enough to keep ' within the bounds of the law some . wy. Eveu your country merchaut who pays a larger wholeslae price for his goods than they do, could get rich selling a better grade of goods to the people that patronize thse two big ' places.

It certainly looks good to us aud yoo will note that additional stamps are needed to mill the ore already in sight and that is the reason stockk is being sold at the prospeot price of 25 cents per share. Oiill You Bny Some of tbe Stock? The stock is easily worth double the price askpd for It, but th quick money is worth more to the compauy than the stock that will have to be told to build and equip the mill. Tbe stock is selling at the prion of many ordinary prospects, bat as a matter of faotit is a REAL MINE. If you failed to realize the iniportane of the above re port, read it over again and see if you do not wish to join as a part ure, in a proposition that you, yourself must acknowledge ia meritor ious in every tespert Get Some Alexandria now. After the present allotment Is sold, the stock will be entirely withdrawn from sale, and will unrloubtely be worth from two to four times what it is now selling for. Stock in a dividend paying mine at 25 cents per share is certainly a bargain, and that is what Mr. Gill ingham says it is, as soon as the mill is in operation. The ore being in sight, all that is necessary is the equipment to handle it. The allotment will be sold promptly and in offering it to yon, it ii un necessary to state that we advise its purchase. Don't be too slow in getting your orders in. As soon as yon read this, write or wire the number of shares yoo want. Our customers are our best friends, be cause we make them money.
