D0C10R OUT ON BAIL
Hearlno For Griffith on Charge of Mur
dering Music Teacher.
Dr. Martin 10. Griffith of Monossea,
In Jail in Greenslmrg, Pa., for the
murder of William L. Robinson, a
music teacher, whom he mutilated
after findinK him with Mrs. .Griffith,
was released on $7,500 bail after a
hearing before Judne L. AV. Doty.
Bail was immediately furnished by
Monessen men.
The details of the operation which
Dr. Griffith performed upon Robinson
were described in court by Dr. Morgan
C. Cramer of Monessen, who was
called by Dr. Griffith to take the
maimed man to a hospital.
Judge Doty said that in his mind
the offense was clearly premeditated
and that the deliberation was shown.
Judge Doty said that provocation was
shown too, and while the wounds may
have caused the deatli of Robinson
the evidence did not warrant a charge
of anything higher than murder in
the second degree, which under the
law entitled the defendant to be liber
ated on bail.
Most Civilized Nation. i
The question "Which is the most
civlliwil nation on earth?" Is difficult
to answer, t'lvili.ntion is n very elas
tic term and is understood differently
In different times and places. In sci
entific attainment, education, wealth
and all the things that go along with
wealth the I'nlted States, Great Brit
ain and Germany would appear to lead
the procession, with some other na
tions following closely; but, taking nil
things Into consideration, eliminating
the sole matter of wealth, the most
civilized country on earth is probably
.Norway. In that far northern land the
Ideal civilization that Is. the civiliza
tion that rests on common sense and
justice seems to have matured to a
greater extent than it has anywhere
else. New York American.
Cigar Boxes.
The construction of n cigar box may
seem to be n very simple matter to the
novice, but the box passes through
nineteen processes before it is ready to

Tells Us That An Aviator Should Not Drink, As One Drop Usually
Puts Him Out of Business.
Queer, isn't it? In business we find that you cannot afford to take chances on qualities.
For instance, we could buy pretty good merchandise at far less than we are now paying,
and sell it for the same prices that we are now getting, but it is not the best. We won't con
sider buying or selling any goods whatever where the quality is questionable. We know who
makes the best, and that's where we buy it.
HERE'S PROOF. We sold every Fancy Winter Suit in our store two weeks ago.
If we wanted to be unfair we had opportunities to buy hundreds of suits at bargain prices.
We could have bought them, sold them, and made money, but the people who have made
our success possible would have been imposed on, and the little profit we'd make would be
mighty costly. You can't throw sand in the public eye, and get away with it. We don't pro
pose at any time to even try it.

PASSENGERS GIVEN SCARE
Queen City Sinks at Louisville, But
Nobody Is Hurt.
With about eight feet of water in
her hold the steamer Queen City rexti
on a rock against the dam at the Ken
tucky chute in the Louisville (Ky.)
harbor. The vessel's 6,000-ton cargo ',s
being removed. The Steel City, a
Bister packet, arrived to take the
Mardi Gras excursionists to New Or
leans.
On the boat were 125 passengers, 24
officers and members of the crew, 4
musicians, 20 negro waiters and 5
cooks, 178 souls in all. The excursion
ists had started from Pittsburg. The
steamer was caught in the swift cur
rent of the Ohio when she tried to
dock and was swept against the dam.
When lifesavers reached the steam
er in response to her distress signal
they found the rails lined with half
dressed, frightened passengers, sev
eral of whom threatened to leap into
the icy ater. All were carried to the
lifesaving station.

STOCKS BEGIN TO lYOVE
Weather Conditions Good For. Busi
ness, Says Trade Review.
Dun's Review of Trade Bays this
week:
"Weather conditions were an im
portant factor in the business situa
tion tills week. Recent storms im
peded railroad traffic and retarded the
distribution of merchandise, yet cer
tain lines of trade benefited by the
heavy snowfall and zero temperatures.
There was a notable increase In the
movement of footwear and heavy
weight apparel, while fuel was in
greater demand.
"Sentiment In commercial and in
dustrial channels remains optimistic
and evidences of improving conditions
accumulate. This is particularly true
of wool, sales of which continue lare
at advancing prices. A material re
duction has occurred In supplies at
all sea board markets since the open
ing of the year and in some instances
stocks are now scarce. Both cotton
and woolen mills are well employed,
as a rule, and prospects are considered
satisfactory."

The new suits began to arrive January 10. And they had scarcely ar
rived, been examined and marked when they started to go out about as
fast as they were received. Within the last week shipments have beeu
much more frequent. Indeed most every express now has a shipment of

ed until we had a sufficient range of colors, sizes and prices to warrant
mention of them in these columns, i We're ready now. The Suit or Cost
can be selected here now to your complete satisfaction and superior adt
tage. The assortment is worthy your consideration. Smart, exclut
perfectly tailored models so moderately priced as to command your adm
tion and approval. 4

and $22.50,
That are bound to attract many to this Second Floor Garment Sect
Suits of an exceptionally high order of tailored perfection strikingly
nal in design. Styles are a most radical departure from those of tfaef
season and last spring. Jackets are much shorter, some extending oif
the waist line some few bolero effects are shown. The wide droe
