HELENA, April Ito the Editor: The

the one whose business interests cover the

THE BURNETT BOYCOTT.
A Man Arrested for Distributing Circulars
of the Labor Assembly.

"A man Arrested LOT DISTRIBUTING circulars
of the Labor Assembly.
The boycott on Burnett, the Grand Cen
trail barber who refuses to close on Sunday,
took a fresh turn yesterday. The officers
of the Trades and Labor assembly hired
Charles Stafford, a one-armed. man, to
stand in front of the Grand Central and
distribute a handbill on which was printed
this:
"Do not patronize Burnett, of the Grand
Central barber shop, as he is boycotted by
the Trades and Labor assembly"
Stafford took his stand Oh the sidewalk of
the building adjoining the hotel. On the
stump of his left arm hung a bunch of the
circulars. With his right hand he picked
them Off, one at a time. and
handed them to passers by. Many just
glanced at them and let them fail to the
ground. The consequence was that theG Grand
Central sidewalk was Uttered with circulars.
William Reed, one of the proprietors of the
hotel, caused Stafford's arrest on the
charge of creating q nuisance by filling his
sidewalk with debris. Judge Sanders dis
missed the charge. but advised stafford to
be careful, when handing out the '%circulars,
not to litter up the sidewalk of the Grand
Central.

Something That Will Surprise Most Peo-
u1e in He1enn

Pic III fleleHSs
Our attention was attracted the other day,
while passing the Grandon block, with tho
display of fancy groceries in tho A.. Il.
Gates Grocery company's store. Their
equal cannot be found in Helena. They
have the largest store and carry the largest
stock of fine groceries carried in Helena,
and sell them way below all their COM
p%etitors. 1t is a pleasure to visit their
store, everything is so clean and nice,
and their goods are all fresh and new. They
have just enlarged their store by taking in
the adjoining storeroom, and they COM
menco next week by making special weekly
sales. Each special sale will last one week
and during that week everything in that
special line will be sold at way down prices.
Their store is very attractive and all will
find it a pleasant place to visit them and
! see their display of nice things to eat and
also to see how little money it takes to buy
them. This firm started out last summer
on the strictly cash system and they
still adhere to that plan. Their
| special sale commences Monday y. April 10,
| and during the week will be entirely on
canned vegetables. Everything in this line
will be sold at greatly reduced prices. 1t
| would be useless for me to mention tho
| price which they are going to make
on goods in this line. 1t surprised me to
see how little money it took to buy these
goods. But prices bring trade and this firm
will have the trade. | will Just mention
prices on a few articles that they informed
me would be made during the next week:
