RED LETTER SALE.

1t is the custom of a great
many Clothing Houses, when
the end of a season comes, to
take all the old chestnuts that
have laid on their shelves since
the days of the 'bull teams,
pile them on a counter and Of
fer them at great bargains.
Now, with us it is different.
At the end of a season our
buyer goes to market and there
buys just exactly the same
goods he bought at the begin
ming of the season for about
one-half the amount he paid for
them at that time Our buyer
is now in market and has
shipped us per express as large
a stock of flannel and percale
shirts and underwear as any
other house in Helena carries at
any season of the year. Do
not fall into that common error
of thinking that because goods
are cheap they are no good, for
a single examination will con-
vince you that you are mis-
taken.

MIssoULA, Aug. 20.-(Special to the In
dependent THE republican county con-
vention was held in the court house at this
place this morning. Two sets Of delegates
from Missoula and Steyensville had been
chosen at the primaries. but the matter
was amicably arranged in caucus. The
convention was comparatively harmoni-
Gus, but as one of the delegates explained
it was all cut and dried beforehand. The
following is the ticket: State senator, NJ.
Z. Rutherford; representatives, A. c.
shelton, W. b. Harlan, Thomas l.. Green
ough, L. j. Philips and A. ).
Blake; county commissioners-Henry
Teweault, j. l.. Humble and j. r. Latimer;
sheriff, w. II. Houston: county clerk, -.
ID. BOgart; treasurer, John Anderson;
assessor, L. A. Kenney; clerk of the dis
trict court, 81. b. Hendricks; superiuten-
dent of schools, Fred Gilbert; public ad-
ministrator, K. w. Angevine; coroner, y.
j. Meyers; county surveyor, l.. o. Ken
nedy; county attorney, f. c. Webster. The
position Of district judge was not supplied,
owing to the lack Of suitable material, not
wishstanding the fact that Hon. ). g. Muir
ray occupied prominent position in the
room. The indications are that after the
democrats have nominated their ticket the
republican central committee will resort to
the democratic ranks for a man to ill their
vacancy. The party here is very much di-
vioed, and tO-day's work resulted in the
success of the Kenney faction. There are
some good men on the ticket, but it is by
no means considered strong.

Lowry After the Big Guns.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 20.-lt was rumored
last night that Kilrain had skipped. Sher-
i'll Childs, of Mississippi, who is here to
take him back says he has no fears Of any
thing of the sort and that Kilrain will
leave for Mississippi to-day to stand trial
Childs makes the rather sensational state
ment that Kilrain knows that he has moth
hing to fear. He says the plan is to convict
and sentence MIN TO the same punishment
as that inflicted on Sullivan
This will put things in proper trim for
the punislmen of railroad officials who
carried the pugilists TO the fight and for
whom Gov. Lowry is cunning specially.
Kilrain will then be released on bail. and
as soon as the railroad men are brought to
time, both Sullivan and Kilrain will be
psrdoned or the proceedings against them
dropped.

larger stock; also, my kind

From the st. Paul Globe: Itseemls;t n 3
be the fate Of Republican presidents
particularly to suffer annoyances by
reason Of the indiscretions Of members
OF their own families. What Mr.. Lin
coin endured on account of a peculiarly
distressing domestic affection is a part
Of the unwritten history of the country.
The troubles that General Grant had
with his boys, who were disposed to
traffic In their fathers fame, are known
to all.
And now 1t appears that General Har-
rison's administration is to be beset with
a similar misfortune. The President has
a son who imagines that by right of the
blood relations existing between himself
and his father he is entitled to handle a
political oar whenever he has a mind to.
and liz accordingly laying his plans to
create q dukedom out of Montana fer

good people Of Montana resent the self
constituted dictatorship that Russell
Harrison proposes to establish over them;
but for all that. the young man is hand

to bring the rebellious subjects to terms.

who loves to humor his boys whims;

THE PREF dents withdrawal Of the
name Of Eugene Schuyler to be Assistant
Secretary Of State, was done, it is learned,
at the suggestion of the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations, to whom the
nomination was referred. The request
for its withdrawal wa coupled with an
intimation that, If this were not done, it
would be reported adversely. This action
was taken by the committee on account
of the assault made by Schuyler In his
book, american Diplomacy" upon Elihu
B. Washburn, rejecting upon his official
conduct while Secretary of State, to-
gether with reflections upon the admin
.istration Of President Grant and the
Senate; and also, it is said, on account Of
charges affecting Sehuyler's personal
conduct in Europe. Moral: Those who
have political ambitions should never
write books, letters nor anything else.
In fact, 1t would be better, for their
chances. il they could neither read nor
write.
