What Shall We Buy?

Why, boys clothing, of course,

fortunate neighbor. They're so
cheap-you will smile when you

visit, Bought lot of goods from
a manufacturer who is retiring
from the trade, at far below the
cost of production, and we will
to-day sell these goods to our
friends and patrons at prices less
than those at which any dealer in
Helena owns them. Prices SIM
ply ridiculous. We do not make
the claim to be as low, but we

are upwards of a dozen stocks ol

question the price. All will agree
that a business house that would
sell you a suit for $40 after an

of SIS if you cid not ward them

MIssouLA, May 10. - Especial. - News

of the murder of n rancher named Burns
by tin-horn gambler named Herrick. who

ton Herrick claimed that the killing waa

removing his revolver from his inside coat
pocket to put it in his hin pocket when it
was discharged accidentally, the bullet en-
tering Burns back. A barkeeper standing
in the door of his saloon is said to have
seen the entire occurrence, and declared
that Burns started across the street. the
gambler closely following him. When Her
rick reached the center of the street he de-
libsrately shot Bu,ns in the back. Another

That BAlnaceda Must Fall.
PARIS. May 1O.-The ChiIian oongression-
al leaders here deny that the failure of
peace negotiations were due to the dem and 8
of tho congressional party. Their advicss
state that President Balmaceda, after Of
fering to treat, changed his mind upon
hearing of the sinking of the war ship
Blanco Encalada and made the publicity
gwen to the proposals of tho congressional /
party an excuse for rupturing tho negotia-
tlons. The leaders of the anti governmen
party say their losses on sea will not affect
their final victory. The congressional party
according to the same authority, possess
an organized army which is about to m arch
on Santiago. Evon il the troops be confin
to threatening inaction, Balmaceda must
surrender within three months because of
the collapse Of resources. The $15, 600, 600
reserve which he held prior to tho insur-
rection is exhausted, and he has NO source
OF revenue. Fifty steamers at Valparaiso,
laden with coal. which were detained by or

SECRECY IN WASHINGTON.
Nothing Given Out Regarding the Order
of the Charleston.

Nothing Given Out Regarding the Orders
of the Charleston.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-While there are no
new developments regarding the reported
issuance of orders to the cruiser Charleston
ana the men-ofwar composing the south
Pacific squadron to 90 after and seize the
insurgent vessel ltata, which is now sup
posed to be on her way to Chilli with arms
| taken from the schooner Robert and Min
ME, it is believed that orders have been
sent to Admiral Brown, commanding the
| Pacific station, and to Admiral McCapu
commanding the ships of the south Pacific
station, to capture the Itata, by force if
necessary, and take her to the first Ameri-
can port. The greatest air of secrecy sur
rounds the atfrir and tonight it is utterly
impossible to learn that any orders of
any nature regarding the Itata have been
issued by the navy department or would be
issued. Secretary Tracy left the CITY yes
terday on the Dispatch, in company with
Commodore Foger to inspect the new naval
proving ground down the Potomac and has
not yet returned. At his house it was said
he had probably continued his trip to Fort
Monroe or gone down the Chesapeake to stay
over Sunday. He left word that he would
not return until noon tomorrow. Commo-

cation and who issues all orders directing

Was seen tonight, but declined to say any
thing on the subject. There is the strong
est reasons for believing that the orders
were issued yesterday before Secretalv

Charleston is on her way south after the
ltata.
Commodore Ramsey said tonight he had
received an unofficial dispatch this morning
from San Francisco saving the Charleston

not returned, AZ has been stated. Orders
were issued some time ago by the navy de-

that could throw any light whatever on tho
subject. Seeley raid he WAS not fully in

FOR A DEPLETED TREASURY.
Queen Bees to He Taxed When They Have
No Pedigrees.


WASHINGTON, May lO.-Some of the recent
decisions of the treasury department off.
GERS on questions relative to the interpreta-
tion of the Mckinley tariff law indicate
that the authorities are fully aware of the
depleted condition of the treasury and pro-
pose to get every dollar possible out of the
paragra nhs of that law.
It is charitable to suppose that nothing
but an urgent necessity for an increase Of
revenue could be responsible for the deci-
sion that queen bees, imported for breeding
purposes. must pay duty of 20 per cent. ad
valorem, as "live animals not specially pro-
vided for' in the act, because, in order to
come in free. these "animals' must be
duly registered in tho book of record es-
tatlished for that breed" and be accompa-
MED by certificate of such record and of
the pedigree of such animals
Heretofore customs officers have not re-
quired the importers of queen bees to pro-
duce the pediarees of the animals: and
have failed to collect duty upon them.
Hereafter 20 per cent. tax will be levied
upon the queen bees. and thus the govern
ment will get a little more income with
which to meet the demands of the billion
congress.
Another decision calculated to swell the
receipts from the customs taxes is that
just made by tho treasury department.
to the effect that the Girls High
school of Brooklyn ia not an insti-
tuition established for the encouragement
of the arts and sciences. Under this deci-
sion certain photographs imported for per
manent exhibition at that school must pay
tax of % per cent. advalo-em for the ben
eft of the depleted treasury. Had the
Girls High school been an institution for
the encouragement of science. or art, or in
dustry. the photographs would have been
admitted free, and Secretary Foster would
have had just so much less money with
which to mcet the obligations of the gov
ernment.

Pension Fund Of Their Own,

WASHINGTON, May 10.-The Sunday Her
aid says movement is ON foot in the vari-
ous departments of the government located
in this city to establish what might be
termed a comparative pension scheme for
the benefit of those clerks who, through
advanced age or physical disability in
CURED by their service, become unable to
attend to their duties. By fund estab-
lished through small monthly deduction
made from the salary of each clerk, tho Sc
sick or aged will receive n pension during
the time Of their disability, or for life when
regularly retired by the authorized board.
The number of clerks of advanced age who
are retained in the de lartments simply be-
cause of their faithful service for many
years is very large. With pension these
could be retired with the result of a mum
Der of promotions all along the line.
