KKMARKAHI.F PRODUCT. 1 Square of Linoleum 011 Sidewalk Shows no Wear. 1 There Is a square of linoleum on the cement pavement in front of the 1 Furniture Store of J. F. Mackey & Co., that is attracting a lot of atten-1 tion and favorable comment. The square measures about 12 by 12 feet and has been on the sidewalk \ for nearly a week, subiected to the most severe teats and in all kinds of * weather and shows no damage. Dur f ing this week hundreds of people attending court have tramped over it, 1 and other hundreds who are here ev- ( ery day have dono the same. Tlia linoleum lies perfectly flat; shows no tendency to curl nor "buckle." 1 This same teat is being made in many cities of the Union and the lin- j oleum is equal to the demands made upon it. It is a most unique test and it is doubtful If any but Ringwalt's 1 Idnoleum would stand the racket. ~ HOUGH'S STORK ENTERED. j Plate Glass Window Broken and Few . Watches stolen.

Just . when or by whom the store was entered Is not known, since It was daylight before the theft was discovered. ( It was obviously a rather hold deed when we consider the location of the , store and the fact that the ar^ light , on the corner shines full upon Its ' rrnnr.
