A Growing FavOrite With People Who
Have to Telegraph.

The River Press, referring to the new tele-
graph line, says: The Rocky Mountain
Telegraph Company is the only direct line
to Helena, Great Falls and Butte. Our
citizens are greatly pleased with services re-
ceived IRON local cities along the line, also
from the East aud West. With it's Eastern,
Western and Southern connections, it can
reach most any city in the country at the
same rate us opposition lines, and a much
lower rate to points in Northwest Terri
tory and some points West. The Rocky
Mountain also connects with the finest
cable across The Atlantic, the Mackay-Ben-
nett, reaching most any point in Europe,
England and France at a very cheap rate.
l.. o. Leonard, General Manager and Su-
perintendcnt, is now having the line in
spccted between this city and Helena and
will begin rebuilding the lie and put it in
first class working order as soon as the
weather is f0 vOrable.'

RETROSPECTIVE.

Constantly increasing business necessi-
tates system in our buying as we'll as
selling, and that system is carried out in
the most practical manner. We have a
permanent New York office at which are
stationed two buyers, directed and
assisted this season by our Mr.. NJ. J. Con-
nell. These men are not located in the
metropolis to secure unsatisfactory goods
at high prices. They are stationed there
to procure Correct Metropolitan Features
for the Least Money that ready cash and
direct dealing with manufacturers will
admit. They are there to secure for you
Every Benefit that practical application
and unlimited experience can obtain.
You do not need to look at it from our
standpoint. Viewed from your own it
IS logical, simple, plain common sense.
While every Department Of our Business
has received careful attention this
season, still there are some features in
which the standard of perfection has
been more nearly reached than in others.
Dress Goods with us means quantity,
quality, price and correct patterns and
fabrics. Our stock is extensive and rep
resents every new idea prevailing in the
recognized centres.
Notions means every novel feature to
combine tremendously with our Dress
Goods display.
Trimmings this season are made with
special reference to the class of goods
they are intended to ornament and in
this particular we have special designs
for every class of Dress Goods exhibited.
Ladies' wraps are graceful and many
beautiful things are shown which are
both pretty and inexpensive, or display
embraces every new and attractive sLyln
known to Eastern and European ula.lt-
factureTs.
In Millinery we have male special
preparation to exhibit only choice novel
ties, this will, however, not prevent us
from offering standard features at very
low prices.
For gentlemen, finely fashioned gar
ments and sensible makes of necessary
furnishings are shown, anu at prices
which are absolutely the lowest cOnsis-
tent with safe merchandising, while for
the hOusekeeper nc such an array of
household requisites has ever been pre-
sented to any community at such re-
markedly low quotations.
Foot wear, an important feature to all,
is represented in the most sensible man
ner by every grade Of fine, medium and
staple Boots and Shoes manufactured,
upon which we have placed extraordin-
arily low values.
In Carpets and Upholstery we say to
buyers: Examine Our stock and if our
patterns and prices do not distance all
others, don't buy Of us.
These are a few Of many reasons why
you can benefit yourself by coming
straight to the fountain head to supply
your wants. The cold logic of facts and
figures require no establishment outside
Of plain truth, which is our business
WatchwOrd first, last and always.

| Special Dispatch to the Daily Eas
HUGoToN, Kan, June S-Yesterday the
| citizens of this town were greatly surprised
and much agitated when Ed Short, James
Garrond, F. E. Sirclecomb and one VIM.
Houseley, of Woodsdale, rode into our
| town for the purpose of numbering our
citizens in cold blood.
We have recently had a hot contest over
a railroad bond election for two lines of
railroad one through the north part of the
county and the other through the south
part, which would leave the center of the
county without any line Of road. OF course
the county seat opposed these bonds only by
fair and honorable means, and the election
resulted in the defeat of the notorious
Sam Wood scheme to hoist these bonds
on the county. This man Short had said
they failed to carry the bonds he would
see that Hugoton was burned to ashes
Of course all this looks as though sane
toned by Wood, who is the leader in all
the litigation the county has ever had.
Therefore, yesterday Short and his gang
came in town. The people here were not
alarmed or suspicious of their appearance,
presuming they had come here on legiti-
mate business, and of course they were
Hospitality treated. Finally Short got on
his horse and rode up in front of the city
marshal's Office, to Samuel Robinson, city
marshal of this place, and commenced
firing without notice or warning. Mr..
Robinson defended himself CALAMITY, and
in the meantime, Garrond was in the rear
of the building to catch Robinson if he
attempted to escape out of the rear end of
the building; also Housley was near the
Harris house with horses ready to escape
This, it is plain to be seen, was all pre-
meditated. Several shots were fired
and Short and his followers escaped
with several excited citizens in pursuit,
but as near as we can gather information,
no one was hurt, while some say Short
was shot through the shoulder. The Hugo
ton people captured a spring wagon and
Winchester rife, which was loaded.
The Hugoton people are all determined
to protect themselves against these lawless
intruders. Next Friday the canvass of
votes will be made by the county commits
sioners, and if the Woodsdale men put
themselves in appearance, war will surely
follow, as the Hngoton people are now
placed on the defensive These people
would be justified in defending their
rights, and they will do it, More trouble
is looked for, and this cowardly assault
will be resented by all good people of the
county.

THE .SELFRlDGE COURT MARTIAL
TRIAL

WASHINGTON, June S.-The court mar
tial of Capt Thos. o. Selfridge continued
at the navy department yesterday The
accused took the stand in his own behalf
and declared the precautions against dan
ger taken by him on occasion of the target
practice in question. He said that he did
not claim that he had any right to prac-
tice at target within three mile limit but
asserted that it had been well-known
usage and custom, not only of ships of the
American navy. but of other naval powers
to have target practices within this limit,
and it had never in any instance within
his knowledge been prohibited or objected
to by the Japanese authorities. On the
contrary it appeared that the Japanese
government recognized the usual custom
and in 1887 issued letter of request to'dif-
ferent foreign countries to notify the COM
manders of the ships that they
should not have gun practice with
In the three mile limit unless
they should ask and obtain special permis-
SION. This order, II appears, was not pub
lie and Captain Selfridge testified that he
was entirely ignorant ofs it as were also
Rear Admirals Davis and Chandler who
had commanded the squadron. He stated
that the practice by him was had against a
duff, not in violation of any japanese
rights, but entirely from considerations of
safety, as the sea for twenty-five miles or

ment in sales, though on the whole trans
actions do not equal those of a year ago.
The better feeling is due in part to good
seasonable weather, also. to a growing i'm
preston that no disturbing changes in the
tariff are likely to be made this year, but
more largely to the decided improvement
in crop prospects. The outlook as to
cereals improves steadily, so that there is
now reason to hope for large yield of ali
grain except wheat, and for yield Of
wheat exceeding 210o00,O0O bushels or
more the estimate of a month ago, pro-
yided the weather continues fairly favora-

rather less promising, but in the Missis-

A CRAZY MAN.

LOUISVILLE, June S.-Edmund Robin
son. an aged farmer of Newton, Ark,
went crazy on the train coming to this
city from Paducah this morning and Gre
ated reign of terror among the passen-
gers. He was travelling with his wife from
his home to visit brother at Beria, KY.
He had just recovered from brain fever,
and the trip was taken for a change.
While sitting by his wife, an hour after the
train left Paducah he suddenly began to
yell. apd when his wife tried to quiet him,
he seized her and was about to throw her
from the open window Of the flying car.
The passengers interferred and he turned
upon them, and was only secured after a
Sharp struggle. He was chained TO a seat,
and when he arrived here was foaming at
the mouth and tugging at his shackles.
His brother was notified by wire. His
wife is FRUSTRATED by the shock.
