Accidental Shooting.

Yesterday morning about O'Clock
sad accident occurred in Florence
Carroll's house on East Park strt ct,
which may terminate fatally. 1t
appears that Ruby Wense, ole Of the
inmates of the house, had been drink
ing quite freely during the evening,
and retired about II O'Clock, but got
up about an hour atterward, pre-
ceeded to her trunk and got pistol.
One of her lady friends noticed the
pistol in her hand and informed Miss
Carroll, who Immediately started
from her room to obtain possession
of the weapon. She arrived too late;
and just as she had taken hold of the
unfortunate girls arm the pistol was
discharged, the ball entering her
right side and passing through the
lung. The girl sank unconscious to
the floor. Medical aid was Instantly
summoned and everything possible
done to alleviate her suffering. Late
last evening she was resting easy and
may possibly recover.

From the Daily Of Sunday.
MISSOULA GOLD.
Tho Excitement Unabated.

Independent, August p: r. J.
Cudner, Of Missoula, who was in
town yesterday, reports that the gold
excitement continues unabated. It
is not exactly an excitement, either,
but more of q quiet business move in
which a large portion of the business
men Of the town haye interested
themselves. Some two hundred or
three hundred claims of twenty acres
each have bsen taken up within
three miles of town, and in soma
cases wheat fields even have been
staked of. Some of the owners are
very enthusiastic in regard to the
future of the discovery. The pay on
the surface seems to be good, and
from this it is argued that when bed
rock (supp0sed to be some twenty
feet deep Is reached the amount Of
gold taken out will be great. One
enthusiastic individual who owns
only five acres has refused to take
(even If anybody should be wild
enough to offer it) $4,000 for his
claim. He expects on reaching bed
rock to find q layer of nuggets three
inches thick, he says.
Some of the old residents of Mis-
soula, however, refuse to place any
faith in the discovery. They say
that all the gold that Is there is on
the surface along the banks of Mis-
soula river and at the mouth of Deer
creek, and that it is merely q few
scattering grains of gold that have
been scooped by the Ice while NOV
ing out of Gold creek, and deposited
here grain or two at q time during
hundreds or thousands of spring
thaws. 1t is fact that 80 far no gold
has been found excepting on the riv-
or bank, but how tenable the theory
above reclted may be remains to be
seen. In the meantime the claim
owners intend to 60 right on with
their work, as generally they are sat-
sfied that they have fortunes almost
IN hand.

Towers Above Medioority.

Sands & Boyce at this time are
perhaps Offering the greatest induce
ments to buyers Of dry goods, ready
made clothing, carpets, etc., that
have ever been offered to the people
Of this community. They have
made . heavy and general break in
prices, but by judicious ADVERTISING
acquainting you with their low
prices-they expect to largely in
crease their business, and this result
will as surely follow as the night the
day. Such an increase will fully
justify reduced profits and there's no
risk in anticipating such results
from such policy.
The mercantile houses that tower
above mediocrity are those that not
only sell low, but also advertise the
fact, and there is no more conspic-
uous example in tho Northwest than
Sands 4 Boyce. Advertising enables
house to sell lower than otherwise,
because Of the increase in business
which is always the Inevitable result.

Fight.

For some time past there hs been
considerable ill feeling between G. E.
Watkins and Albert Werther, gener-
ally known as "Smiling Albert, "
growing out of a dissolution of part
nership, each claiming the other
had bested him in the settlement.
Yesterday the two men met in front
of q produce store on West Park
street, and after a lively discussion,
Watkins made q pass at Werther,
but was intercepted by the latter
who carried q heavy cane. When
our reporter arrived on the scene
Watkins was on top, but had sus-
aimed q confusion on his lip. The
officers made their appearance at
this juncture and placed both men
under arrest. Werther preferred .
complaint against Watkins, to which
the latter pleaded guilty and was
fined $40 and costs. The case came
up before Judge Nichols.

Cheap Postage.

It was estimated at the time the
reduction of letter postage to two
cents went into effect that it would
require flve years to once more put
the department on q self-suppol ting
basis; but the deficiency for the last

which we had cheap postage, was
only S., 100000. and long before the

Then we shall. have one cent postage,
and In five years the postoffice will
be paying q larger revenue than ever
before.

Driving Park match race between
tho famous PAGERS. Johnston, owned
by Commodore KitsisoD, and Rich
ball, owned by J. 8. Campbell, for a
wager of S. 900 side, occurred here
this. afternoon. The weather was
clear and cool and the track fast, ex-
cept q portion of the back-stretch,
which was soft. The attendance was
5000. Johnston was the favorite in
the pools before the opening of the
race at $25 to 500, and a large
amount of money was wagered. The

Johnston could not 60 three fast
heats. The result proved they were
mistaken, az he was never headed.
The pacing was very close to Little
Brown Jugs time-2:1l3. 2.114 and
2:l23-which is the fastest three heats
on record. 1t is the general opinion
that Johnston, had he been driven
out in each heat, he could have beaten
this. The owner of Richball says
she was out of condition. Johnston,
in each heat passed under the wire
in q Jog, with Richball only . little
inside the distance pole. Time, 2:l3,

Following this was an exhibition

ton was to beat 2.C5. In the fist heat

heat the mare broke and returned
without going round. The third
heat began with much promise, the
quarter post being reached in thirty
seconds, at the rate Of two ln minutes; t

slower, the three quarter post being
