SANDS &
Some Points in Respect to Which
You Are Sure.
The Races.

Several lots of ladies' medium
priced dresses have arrived, and they
are of better value than we have
ever offered before. The prices are
$40, SIS, $40, and $25. Now is proba-
bly, the best time to select, before the
assortment is broken. Black silk
dresses are stand-bys, and quite q
number that are particularly desira-
BILE are here. They are too staple to
admit Of larger profits. We dimin-
ish profits to increase them. That
may sound paradoxical, but it is not.
Experience has taught US that small
profits pay best, because of the in
crease of business Isn't it better for
us to sell $500, 900 at q profit of 10 per
centthan to sell $50, 900 at so per cent?
THE RACES.
The races have attracted q throng
of visitors to our city, and we believe
most of them have honored US with
q visit,
Our methods of doing business are
known throughout the territory and
beyond it, and are recognized as be-
ing so advantageous that they ma
tural'y call upon US to make their
purchases.
WHAT THEY ARE SURE OF.
They are sure of fair and polite
treatment; they are sure the extent
and character of our stock is superior
to any other in the Territory; they
are sure we eau suit them best; they
are sure prices are the lowest and
they are sure that ifthe folks at home
should not like the goods, we will
take them back without any quib-
bling and refund the purchase
money. Our goods are always worth
to us what you pay for them if you
return them within a reasonable
time in the same condition they were
in when you bought them.
Whether you want dry goods, a r
pets, ready-made clothing, gents
furnishing goods. or anything else in
our line, We will make it to your ad-
vantage to buy. Call.
Very respectfully,

FATAL ARRAY.
A Duel With Revoivers Between
a "Texas RaWhlde" and a
Montana Cowboy.

"They had a lively time at Little
Missouri last Thursday night" says
the Miles City fress. "A party of
cowboys were enjoying themselves
while laying over at that point on
their way to Chicago. One of the
number, a Texan, who boosted that
he was a terror and a Texas Raw
hide managed to lose the magnifi-
cent sum of three dollars in the fasci-
mating relaxation known to the in
itiated as stud POKER Incensed at
being thus impoverished, he accused
one of the players of robbing him,
whereupon the person who won the
money took up the quarrel, and hot
words ensued. The winner called
attention to the fact that he was
una:med, and expressed a regret that
he did not have a six shooter with
him. This deficiency was promptly
supplied by another of the party and
the two disputants Immediately be-
gan firing, in which amusement they
were at once joined by M of the
bystanders. The revolvers cracked
rapidly until fifteen shots had been
exchanged among the three, at the
end of which time the Texan was
found to be MORALLY wounded, and
the man who borrowed the pistol
was shot through the stomach, re-
ceiving painful if not serious inju-
ries. The man who loaned the latter
his six shooter, as soon as the firing
began, set to dancing about the
room as though the crack of the re-
~volvers was too eXnilarating music to
withstand. The Texan died in a few
hours"

To Ascertain the Moisture ia Ore.

Browns manual Of Assaying," a
recent publication, gives a very sim
pie method of ascertainirg the
amount of moisture contained in ore,
which will be OF value to the large
class of miners who do their W as
Swing IN this camp. "A certain
wight is sampled out. say five
unds, and Transferred to a porce-
itj:t cansnIe. the weight of which is

and weighed again. There shOAll
be a bat a slight difference in the last

the last weight and the original
weight Of dust and ore is the loss by
driving off water. The difference
divided by the amount of ore taken,
and multiplied by 100 is the percent

FIFTH HEAT.
Diamond was still the favorite at
the pool box, Lomond selling second
choice. 1t required but three trials
to get the word and the horses went
for blood at the turn loose" Round
ing the first turn Diamond and Frank
again broke and LOmUnd took a
strong lead, but before reacking the
half mile Diamond passed him. He
was not again headed or troubled by
Lomond the latter not getting nearer
the black horse than three or four
lengths while Frank L. Was a still
greater distance behind Lomond.
In this position they crossed the
score. Time, 2:36.

race being thought to belong to Dia-

five times the horses got the word,

Lomond and he three lengths ahead

THE RUNNING RACE.
This was considered the great event
of the day. But the long and excit-
ing struggle just ended, and the late
ness of the hour-it now being after
sundown-robbed the race of much
of its interest. Pool SELL

the scores. In the pools Lady Preu-
lit was first choice, wi h Thady SELL

last. In drawing for positions Red

the first trial and went off in a
bunch. At the first quarter Lady
Preuitt was in the lead, Narrow
Gauge second, Red Boy third and
Thady fourth. At the half
mile the horses were in a
bunch, aud all together at the
three-quarter. They passed the score

same relative position to each other
was maintained until they reached
the half-mile, when Red Boy took
second place and Narrow Gauge
dropped TO the fourth. They passed
the three-quarter in the same posi-
ton. Coming down the home stretch
Red Boy made a desperate attempt
to take the lead from the Lady, but
the Helena mare was too much for
him and led him under the wire by
half a length, Thady a bad third and
Narrow Gauge a worse fourth.
