The journalistic profession IL af-
ficted with an occasional ''smart
Aleck. "who usually tmagines himself
a wit. and whose forte is to pick up
typographical errors, made by some
innocent composition, and his efforts
to be funny when such an opportu-
nifty occurs, are as mirth provoking
as a Monkey with + mirror Tn
Avant Courier has q fine specimen Of
this class of wit in the youth who,
for the princely compensation Of
twenty dollars per week, fills its
columns with such cheap padding as
the following, which appeared in its
last Issue:
"Pills" is q correspondent of q
West Side exchange. A writer who
assumes q durgative nom de plume
should he able to write the table de
h0te preparation other than ''cuit-
ene."
We have not yet ascertained the
nature of q "duryative' nom de
plume and we confess ignorance as to
any special "tabLe de hotc prepare
ton" to which the French noun
cuisine may be applied but the purga-
tive qualities Of this species of wit
would find full scope in the proper
digestion of the following specimen

What q Lady Appreciates in Her
Shopping Rambles.
To-Day

Have you seen our new fall stock
of ladies' dress buttons? Perhaps
not, for they came no longer ago
than yesterday. Isn't it wonderful
what a great variety of shapes, colors
and designs can be produced in so
simple a matter as buttonsr and how
pretty some of the effects are: A
few days ago in order to fill a mail
order, we were compelled to buy
some buttons "outside" as we term
it; that is, at a neighboring store.
We paid sl.25 per dozen for the iden-
ticai button that we will sell you to-
day for Is cts. per dozen and still make
a fair profit. From this experience
We are inclined to think that prices
are considerably in u favor; and so
far as assortment is concerned we be-
lleve there ia none in town that can
compare With ours.
What is true of our dress buttons is
also true of our stock Of dress goods
to which we briefly referred vester-
day. If there is any one thing more
than another that a lady appreciates
in her shopping rambles, it is to look
through such an elegant stock of
dress goods as ours. Saturday
is the popular shopping day,
80 to-day we will expect you. So
many ladies feel 90 much difidence
about putting salespeople to the
trouble Of showing goods particular
ly dress g~eods-unless they are ready
to buy. W. appreciate the feelings
that prompt this dimience, but it
really doesn't rest on any sound ousi.
ness norsocial principle. otroubleto
show goods, truthfully expresses the
sentiment, not only of every bus
mess proprietor but of every sales
man too, who has ambition enough
to try to forge ahead in his chosen
location.
We have moved much of our suit
and wrap stock down stairs and the
balance will follow within a day or
0 The stock is arranged so as to be
readily cen, anu @ see is but to
admire.
Very respectfully,
SANDS & BOYCE.

]. M. Barlow Shoots himself in
the Presence of his Wife.

J. NJ. Barlow, who is we'll known
in Butte. having run as express mes
se1ger between this city and Ogden
for several months past, sulcided at
the latter place last Wednesday even

ling particulars Of the tragedy:

lance to the room where J. n. Bar
low, an express messenger of the
Utah & Northern, lay apparently
sleeping on a lounge. A second
glance, however, which discovered a
mass of blood oozing from the mans
mouth and q gh;stly wound showed
plainly that it was the long sleep,
from which none return.
Upon his breast, grasPed in his
left hand, was a certificate of mem
bership to the Des Moines Lodge of
Odd Fellows, and on the back of the
same, written with a lead pencil,
was, ''Sept. q. For Gods sake for
give my rash act, but my life is q fail
ure." On tho floor, near the dead
mans right hand, was q Colts large
size pocket pistol of 44-calibre, with
one chamber empty. In the mans
right temple was an ugly hole show
ing where the bullet had entered, and
one upon the LETT side, but lower
down. evidenced plainly where the
fatal messenger had made its exit.
During the afternoon the unfortu-
nate man had been talking with a
number of his friends, and on the
night previous he was in the parlor
with his wife, enjoying music, aud
no n supposed he was the least bit
inclined to be weary of life. About
5 D. m., or perhaps a little before,
he returned to the house where he was
rooming aud lay upon the sofa. He
had been there some time when his
wife entered and greeted him. AS she
was about to leave he drew his pis-
,ol and, pacing it against his head,
exclaimed, "Good bye" Seeing his
rashness Mrs. Barlow rushed toward
him, but before she reached his side
the report Of the pistol wa> heard and
the bullet had done Its work, death In
stantIy ensuing. The mar was mar
ried about five months ago in Wood
River and while they were apparently
getting along nicely, it is c"njectured
uv many that it Was something Of q
privare nature that drove the poor
fellow to his desperation.

"A Fine Fertilizer,

A Prairie Farmer tells Of a combina-
ton for fertiIizing purposes of lime and
salt. The instruction is to "mix one
bushelo of salt with two bushels of dry
lime, under cover, and allow the mix
ture to decompose gradually, thus form
ing an intimate chemical union of the
two materials. For this purpose the
mixture should lie at least six weeks be-
lore use, or, still better, two or three
months, the heap being turned over oc-
casionaily. This salt and lime mixture,
when applied at the rate of twenty to
thirty bashels per acre, forms an excel
lent top-dressing for crops. 1t acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter OF
Soils. Fifty bushels applied to a turnip
held have produced as large a crop as
twenty loads Of barn-yard manure. 1t is
also very destructive to insects and grubs
IN the soil. Like salt, it attracts mois-
ture from the air. and has been found
useful against drought. Its decomposing
power is remarkable, and if three or
four bushels Of it are mixed with a cord
of swamp muck the | alter will soon be
reduced to powder. Coarse manure is
in a similar manner decomposed an d
made fine. Sour, wet muck thus treated
and composied with barn-vard manur
constitutes a fertilizer almost as valuable
as the unmixed n of the barn
yard" .sflg.E .l
