IS East Park St.,
BUTTE, MONTANA,

The liberal patronage bestowed
upon us by the public shows us
that they appreciate our efforts
to establish what has been
hitherto unknown in this city,
viz: A One Price Strictly Cash
Store. We claim, and are willing
to back our claim substantially
that we are selling goods cheaper
than any store in Butte. And
we should, for as we are doing a
strictly cash business we do not
have TO make those who do pay
for what they buy, pay for those
who do not. Neither do we have
to employ collectors and pay
them percentage of what they
collect, nor bookkeepers at large
salaries. All OF these things
combined show our expenses to
be a smaller percentage than any
ofour competitors in consequence
of which it stands to reason that
we can sell our goods at smaller
profit than they can.

SUI TS.

Our sales on suits during the
last week has been enormous,
many of our lines being entirely
gone while others are broken.
We have, however, telegraphed
our eastern buyer and will have
new fresh goods in the beginning
Of the week. In the meantime
the broken lines must 90. Our
profits go with them, but we do
not object to that as we must not
carry any odd suits. We have
cut the price of these suits from
20 per cent. to IS per cent. and if
teat does not sell them we will
give up, but we think it will. In
these lines we have not only the
cheaper class of goods but some
we were selling at S22.oo, $4,000
and $1,000. These goods are
now cut 10 $500, 1880 and
$1,000. They are just as good to
you as though we had a dozen OF
them but not to us and we are
perfectly willing to sacrifice our
profits in order to make room for
the new goods to arrive.

FUNERAL OF JUDGE ANDERSON,
Prominent Mason. In Attendsnoe--The
Episcopal Bskssr.
Special to the standard


MIsSoULA, Dec.3.-At2 . o'clock this aft
ernoon the remains Of the late Judge
Andernon we're laid at rest by his Ma
sonic breihern according to the impress
siye ritual Of their order. At I o'clock the
grand lodge Of Montana was called to or
der by Grand Master W. T. Boarhman OF
Helena. The services of the order were
conducted, after which about thirty Ma
sons of this city, Helena and the Bitter
Root valley marched down In a column
Of twos aud took their places in opeu or
der in the rear OF the hearse. The re-
mains Of the late past grand master were
then brought down from the hall by the
pall-hcarcrs, Past Grand Masters Lang
horne, Hedges and Stackpole and Past
Masters Lalimer, Chapman and Woody,
preceded by floral aud evergreen square
and compass, which was borne between
the long files Of men to the hearse, while
the TwenIy.fifth regiment band played a
dirge.
The procession was then formed with
the band ahead, followed by Masons with
emblems, the hearse accompanied by
bearers and was followed by Undertaken
Bradley and more than 10 carriages. The
band played dead march and the pro-
cession moved 10 the cemetery, where the
last sad rites were performed by Grand
Master Bosrdman and Acting Grand
Chaplain J. J. McAllister, and the re-
mains Of the well.known and highly-re-
spected Judge were laid at rest.
The Episcopal bazaar has proven equal
10 the expectation Of the most sanguine.
The opera house, which was donated for
the occasion by c, II, Mcleod, was deco
rated this morning. The ladies decided
not 20 spend 80 much time and money as
usual in decorations. Nevertheless, by
means Of bunting and flags they gave the
various booths and tables present an en-
,remely attractive appearance. Soon the
flowers, dolls, fancy goods, various re-
freshments and the large stock Of deli
eious home made candy were in place
and the sales commenced. The house
has been well filed ever since with happy
children and equally happy older per-
sons and the ladies in charge OF all tho
departments have been paid for their
trouble by the gold and silver that has
rained upon them. Although the sales
have been very large, II is evident that
there will be many goods left over and
these will be sold tomorrow afternoon
and evening at the Rutherford and Tower
building.

TOO HANDY WITH A GUN.
One Of the Cases Where q Revolver Was
Out of Place.


Special Dispatch 10 the standard.
PHlLIPsBURG, Dec. AT Boulder last
night, about o'clock, Hector Gibbon, an
old French saloon keeper Of that place.
shot at Peter Sherr. the superintendent Of
the Nonpareil mine. The origin of the
trouble seems 10 be that one Of Sherr's
men while drunk gave Gibbon an order
for his wages, which Sherr refused To ac-
ccpt, and in the argument that ensued
about the order, Gibbon pulled revolver
and shot at Sherr. Fortunately the men
were very close and MIR. Sherr showed the
mursle of the revolver 10 one side and the
bullet passed harmlessly by his head.
Mr.. Sherr then knocked the French
man down and in all probability he would
be pounding him yet had he not been
stopped by some men who witnessed the
affair. A warrant was issued here today
for Gibbons arrest and he will be brought
up for trial as soon as he can be safely
moved. Gibbons has always borne a
very bad reputation for petty pilfering
and the too promiscuous use Of his little
gun.
