A real Well-made Suit, selling for
less than a much inferior grade OF

in Quality, but Cheap in Price. We
have them in Sacks, Getaways,
Prince Alberts, Full Dress, and all

We have no cheap grades of suits,
but the extraordinary low prices at
which we buy enables US to sell High
i Grade Suits for less than the cloth

A FonIish nnd stnhhorn ReIIef


In the efficacy OF certain remedies Of violent
action, is the bosettiug foiblO of the ignorant
and prejudi ,ed. The indisoriminate use Of
purgstiveS is very common phase of the
faulty Of such people. Aloos, podyphillin,
disguised in sugar coating, castor oil, mor-
curry, and other old fashioned drugs, still
hold their own among this class, and al
though tho success Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters sufficiently disprovos the necessity
for violence in medication, the Rdherents OF
an exploded fallacy still persist In giving
pepsia, constipation, liver com plant are AZ
certainly and thoroughly subdued by the
B,tters, as they are invariably aggravated by
an indisoriminato use Of medicines, ofhcinal

We have condemned. Fever and ague, per-
vouaness, rheumatism and inactivity Of the
kidneys, yield to the BitterS.

Owing to a disappointment in
securing the services of a teacher,
the opening of the fall and winter
term of the public school has been
delayed. 1t was arranged that the
school should have begun on Mon
day last, and a Mr.. Bennett, Of
Oregon, was employed to take
charge Of it. At the very last
moment the expected teacher sent
word that he could not come, and
the Trustees were obliged to seek
the services of another. Mr..
Charles Griswold, of Rochester,
New York, who is well recon-
mended. has been selected as
teacher and will arrive here early
next week. School will probably
begin on next Wednesday. The
new School Trustees, Messrs. Snow
and Gooding, will qualify and take
charge of the affairs of the school
district during the coming week.

"OlGl Dads - Treat.

cold Dad" Freeman returned
from Challis on Wednesday night
with stage load of drummers and
their traps. While on the road
last Monday "Dad" spied a Nor
mon rancher with.a load of truck
and wishing to be liberal hailed
the latter day saint and purchased
two watermelons at a dollar a piece.
The day was cold, and by the time
one of the melons had been des-
patched the drummers thought
there "inards were frozen. At
Bayhorse juction stop was made,
a big fire built up and the remain
ing melon thawed out, after which
it was sent in the direction Of the
other. The drummers say that it
is a new experience to have to eat
watermelons around rousing fire
to keep from freezing.

The Stage leaving Albion on last
Monday fox the railroad station,
with nine passengers aboard had a
narrow escape from a serious acct
dent. The team, a new one, was
unused to stage work and one OF
the passengers claiming to know all
about driving insisted on taking
the reins. The four bronchos soon
had things their own way and the
would-be driver lost all control of
them. Seeing the condition of
affairs and the almost certainty of
the stage and passengers being
thrown over a bridge just ahead
that had to be crossed, two of the
occupants jumped from the stage,
one sustaining a severe sprain to
an ankle. Fortunately the bridge
was passed in safety and the team
brought under proper subsection
by the regular driver, just in time
to avert a severe accident. There
would have been fine bill of dam
age to pay by the stage company
had an accident resulted.

THE BELLEVUE RACES.

The first meeting of the Bellevue
Driving Park Association closed
last evening with an attendance
greater than that of any previous
day. The commencement of the
races on last Tuesday was made a
gala day at Bellevue and Broadford.
Mines were closed down, public
schools given a holiday and Belle
vue itself, proud of the occasion,
gave hearty welcome to the hun
dreds Of visitors in attendance.
The organizers of the Association
and all concerned in the building
of the race-cOurse are deserving of
the greatest praise, and the enter
prise will be a lasting monument
to the energy and public spirited
ness of the people of Bellevue and
vicinity. The expression of visitors
from the adjoining Territories and
States was unanimous that no finer
track could be found in the north
west, and that nowhere was so much
attention paid to the care and COM
fort of those having horses in stable
training for the races. The man.
agement will arrange for another
meeting next Spring, and in the
interval still greater improvements
to the grounds will be made. The
first meeting was in many respects
success, and the liberal patronage
bestowed shows that the enterprise
of the projectors of the Association
was well appreciated by discern
inc nuhlic

Postal Regulations Extended %
ala Offices In the Country.

Every postoffice in the United
States and Territories has been des-
ignated as a special delivery Office,
and the system has been extended
so as to include all classes of mail
matter. In addition to the special
delivery of letters as heretofore,
packages of all kinds, four pounds
or under in weight, can be dis
patched through the mails with the
certainty of being delivered almost
Immediately upon arrival at desti-
nation. 1t looks as though the gov
eminent had gone into the express
business on a small scale, and the
delivery of small packages will
prove quite feature of the new
system in towns of larger growth.
No office, however small, will be
exempt from the immediate de-
livery, and no excuse will be re-
ceived by the department for a
failure to comply with the new
regulations. The delivery of any
letter or package bearing the spe-
cial delivery stamp must be made
Immediately, when the addressee
resides or has place of business
within one mile of the postoflice,
although the postmaster will be at
liberty to make such delivery be-
yond the mile limit if he desires.
A receipt is taken from all parties
receiving special delivery matter
and a record kept of all transac-
tons pertaining to the system. 1t
is hardly probable that the new sys-
tenn will be brought in sufficient use
at Ketchum to greatly increase the
salary OF postmaster Williams, but
it will be annoying to geta Especial
delivery" to deliver about a mile
from the Office some dark night
next winter, when the snow is six
feet deep and no trail. The eight
cents which he is allowed will hardly
be a recompense sufficient to
smother his emotions as he starts
out. The new regulations go into
effect on and after October 1st.

WV. COLES NEW FEATURES


Prominent among the newly
acquired special features of Coles
New Colossal Shows. which appear
in HALEY Saturday, Sept. 18th, is the
most elaborate and best equipped
Roman hippodrome, so the best
judges say, that was presented in
this country. Several other shows
have attempted to produce this
popular and historical form of
amusement, but its only complete
and perfect representation is to be
seen at the performances given by
Manager Cole. The latter desires
to particularly impress upon the
public the fact that real racing will
take place in his hipprodrome, and
on a track large enough to permit
of the same degree of speed as is
seen on a regular race course. The
horses used in these races have
been selected with the most consum-
mate care, and comprise two score of
fleet-footed English and Kentucky
thorOughbreds. Other adjuncts of
the hipprodrome are professional
jockeys and drivers, historically
correct costumes, chariots, etc.
Another striking novelty of this
management will be the presenta-
ton of DR.. w. F. Carver's "Wild
West" exhibition, in which more
noted Indians, cowboys and scouts
will be introduced than were ever
before seen in one combination.
The picturesque Land of the Mont
ezumas will be presented by band
of vaquerOs and other Mexican
celebrities. A rare and costly col
lection of curios from Old Mexico
is one of the chief objects of inter-
est in the museum department of
this exhibition. Scientists, anti
quarians, and studiously inclined
people in general unite in pro-
nouncing these trophies and relics
of our sister republic to be of an
infinite educational value. The
menagerie department of Coles
New Colossal Shows has been extern
sively replenished by recent inn
portations of wild beasts from
the great animal depots of Ham
burg and Liverpool. The new
geological acquisitions have ne
cessitated the construction of
many additional cages, which
has swollen to number to upwards
of fifty. The illustrious Samson,
the most formidable beast alive,
still continues the central figure of
the Mammoth Herd of Elephants.

the name of its county bingham

FOOT. The latter it claims is too
suggestive when in referring to one
OF the gentler sex to say "a Black

The following additional partic-
ulars concerning Paul Hubert, VIC
tim of the Arco murder, have been
ascertained Mr.. Hubert was rom
Umatilla county, Oregon. He
worked there for some time for a
man by the name of Frazier, a
banker, then went into the sheep
business for himself. He was quite

from relatives in New York, where
his parents at present reside. While
