Livery person VINO IS smart ana
observant of signs of the times

prices are bound to advance.
We can cite a case wbe a
large firm in the east mailed US g
check for $4oo if we would cancel
an order we placed with them
early last spring for 400 suits o1
clothing.

Well guess not We have been
long enough in the business tc
know when we have "a good
thing and as we consider this tc
be.of this nature, if we give it away
it won't be to an outside party
but will hold it for our customers
Buy earlyll
Or you'll get left. Goods are 90
ing up, not alone in clothing, but
all other lines as well.
But
We talk clothing, and that keeps
US busy.
Overcoats, rincipally.
There arrived lot to-day that
will make your mouth water. It is
q light brown Irish frieze, planted
velvet collar, as nobby as you want
to see, and you can put yourself in
one Of them and walk out of our
store, if you leave US f18.
They're dirt cheap.
In fact all our goods are.
They are sold SO cheap we cant
take chances ofselling on credit.
When you hear Of any person
who would try to get you to leave
as. or buy your clothing elsewhere,
depend upon it, there is a "nigqer
in the woodpile." He has been
hurt, been refused, or been pushed
for money he ought to have paid
long ago. There's lots of 'em in
Helena. and we intend to push
some of them good deal harder
if they don't come to the front, pay
honest debts and stop making new
ones. When they owe us they
have to pay, or else well know
why. Dead beats are too thick in
Helena anyhow, and all ner-
chants have suffered enough from
their depredations. It is about
time to call halt.
We don't wish to have this con-
strued as a lecture on morality,
only a bid for honest trade and
warning for the dishonest few.
Any person who wants a fur
coat and fails to see what we have,
makes a mistake, that's all. We

hall was packed to overfiowing this evening
to hear Hon. W. NJ. Bickford discuss the
political Issues of the day. Judge Kirk
patrick was detained in Helena on legal
business Mr.. Bickford was given an en-
thusiastic greeting and responded with a
stirring address, He was often interrupted
BY uproarious applause. He said that il
was the duty of every citizen to stamp his
disapproval of that great outrage of pre-
cinct "a on his ballot for November 1.
His discussion Of the silver question
was clear and logical. showing
the history Of silver legislation from the
early days Of the government. When the
time for action came Carter, like q sneak.
was paired with Boatner. and he never
raised his voice for free coinage. The leg
islation for the past twenty years shows
that the republican party has been hostile
to free silver, while the democratic party
has been friendly to that interest. Fly re-
fusing to work for free silver, Carter has
betrayed the trust which the people of
Montana placed in him. He then scored
Carter's record on false pledges and said
he was demagoRue the like of which did
not exist between the Atlantic and Pacific.

Sudden Death of the Secretary Who Sold
Post Traderships.
WASHINGTON, Oct. -Ex-Secretary OF
War w. W. Belknap was found dead this
morning in room adjoining his Office at
No. 1920 New York avenue. It is thought
his death was due to paralysis. It is be-
lieved the death occurred between one
o'clock Saturday night and nine o'clock
Sunday morning. From John w. Cameron,
General Belknap's business associate, it is
learned that for some time it has been the
generals habit to meet few friends at the
home of DR.. Hill, who lives less than q
square away, for social game of cards. On
Saturday night he went there AZ usual He
remained until nearly midnight, when he
returned to his own apartments in the
building, 1920 New York avenue, and pre-
never again seen alive. About $50
this morning Cameron arrived at
the building, and proceeded to
the second floor, where their
offices and the general apartments are To-
Gated. The servant girl who keeps the
rooms raped at the door and inquired if
General Belknap was out of the city, say
ing that she had several times since Sunday
morning tried the doors. but found them
locked. The door was then forced open
ana the BODY was found partly uncovered
on the bed, the left arm bent rigidly toward
the head and the left hand tightly clinched
as though death had come while in convul-
sions. The bed clothes were somewhat dis
arranged, as if there had been slight
struggle for breath. Physicians were sum
moned, and after making hurried exami
nation they expressed the opinion that
death had resulted from stroke of apo
plexy. The coroner soon afterward arrived
and took the body in charge. The autopsy
disclosed the fact that the immediate cause
of death was Inflammation of the
inner lining OF the heart. Mrs.
Belknap. who was in New York.
was summoned by telegraph and also the
generals son, Hugh, from Chicago. For
some years Belknap has been an almost
constant sufferer from the gout. In Feb
ruary her had 80 severe an attack that he
hardly left his room for three months or
more. During that time he lost in flesh be-
tween thirty and forty pounds.
AS soon as the death of Belknap was
retary Grant ordered the flag on the build
ing at half mast in honor Of the ex-secre-
tary, and gave directions that the building
be draped in black for the customary per-
iod. He also communicated with the fam
lily of the deceased to offer whatever assist
ance they might desire from the depart
ment in the arrangements to be made for
the funeral. As soon as the final arrange
ments are completed an order will be issued
for closing the department. on the day Of
the funeral.
Mrs. Belknap has decided that the gem
eral shall be buried at Arlington cemetery,
and the funeral will probably take place
Thursday.

THE HOP SITUATION.
Picking Nearly over-Prices Firm
Pickers boarding their Money.

The Slaughter Sun, of last weeks
issue says: Most excellent progress
has been made by growers in getting
their hops picked, and many yards
have been cleaned up, while others
will finish this week. In a great
many yards, from some cause, hops
are turning brown, and many hills
must be thrown away, causing great
loss to growers. Various causes are
assigned for this, but it is pretty gen.
orally conceded that lice are doing the
deadly work.
Everything goes to indicate that o
determined, persistent effort will be
made by the large hop dealers of the
country to cause a decline in prices
with in the next few weeks. These
buyers fear that, owing to the short
crop and the big prices prevailing,
growers will not hold to their con-
tracts, and scare will be attempted
by circulating the report that prices
are dropping. The Suns advice is to
pay no attention to such reports, no
matter from what source they ema-
nate, as all are sufficiently well posted
on the shortage of hops all over the
world to know that prices will not de-
cline this season, but rather tend up
ward. Remember prediction regard
ing this matter.
There is no question. but what the
conditions and character OF hop-pick-
ing time have undergone a very great
change, and the scenes attending the
harvest of this product have been
nothing like what they formerly were
1t was confidently expected by every
one familiar with the situation that
money would be plentiful and bust
ness OF all kinds on the rush. On the
contrary matters are rather quiet, and
trade and traffic has not materially in
creased since hop picking commenced
Strange as it may seem, growers in
form us that the northern Indian
pickers are drawing very little money,
and seem to prefer waiting until the
end of the season and getting their
tickets cashed all at once. This evil
IDENTIFY means the abOrigines intend to
take their money with them and spend
it in the larger towns. This is to be
regretted and is considerable of de-
parture from their action on previous
occasions. The white pickers are draw
ing their money, but are not spending
very much. Altogether there is q de-
cided change in hop picking time that
is difficult to account for.
The following shipments of hops
have been made from this place during
the past week:
L. B. Briggs, of Green River, on the
18th, 30 bales to New York.
&C. Dubois, on the 10Th, 10 bales
