Arrests By Summons j Instead of Wa?ravt By .\ssociated Pixss. Chicago, Jan. 7.—The municipal court judges of Chicago have de manded that in the future all ar rests for minor violations of a city ordinance shall be made by summons instead of by warrant.

It means that a ma- ] jority of jiersons who will be arrest ed in the city this year will escape the embarrassment of a patrol ride. Atuomobiio speeders who are caught instead of being taken to the station and forced to put up an ap pearance bond, will be handed a summon* to appear in court the next day and allowed to go their way. —OF- Beautiful Rugs We have for quite awh!le made a specialty of rugs, and we try never to run low on them, so have just replenished our al ready large stock with some especially fine patterns.
