Will Remain.

Last wesk it was stated that Supt.
McCaskell had resigned his position
here aud would remove to Dakota TO
manage the interests of the Anaconda
company in the vicinity of Dead
wood. We are pleased to make q
correction of this, and to say that
while the gentleman in charge OF the
company's Dakota interests has re-
signed, and Mr.. McCaskell was ten
dered the place, he has decided to re-
main here. His administration OF
the company's affairs here have been
very satisfactory to the concern and
to the people at large. We are
pleased to make this correction and
gratified that Mr.. McCaskell will
remain resident of our town.-Ana-

The value Of ready-made clothing is
deceptive; SO much 80. that it can
only be accurately determined by
the experienced eye and practiced

the opportunities. but it does follow
that people should be on their guard
aud exercise ordinary business pru-

sensation peculiar to having been

reputation for fair dealing is SO we'll
