GOES TO DEER LODGE,

Michael Dooney, Who Shot John Miller
Is Sentenced.
There was sad scene in the district court
few minutes after five O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. A jury came in with verdict
OF guilty against Michael Dooney. He sat
few feet away from his law
yer. BY his side was his wife and
four small children. The woman did
not seem to know what was going on until
after Judge Du Bose pronounced two
years sentence uron her husband. The
silence of the gloomy court room was
broken BY avail of anguish from the mans
wife aud the sobbing of the children. A
deputy sheriff lead the convicted man
away to the county Jail followed by the
mother and children, whose sobs could be
heard through the corridors Of the court
house.
Judge Du Bose, after commanding
Dooney to stand up, studied for several
minutes before he pronounced the sentence
The prisoner made no reply when the Judge
asked him If ha had anything to say. 'I
will have to make an example of y ou," said
the judge. The sentence WAS two wears at
Deer Lodge.
The crime of which Dooney was con-
vlotcd was the shooting of John Miller, a
teamster, on Oct. II last, on Rodney street.
Dooney was a special policeman detailed
for night duty on the east side shortly after

They VIII Fly Every Day Hereafter From
the New High school Building.
Observer Glass, Of the local wenther bu-
reau. announces that beginning yesterday
the flags of the weather bureau will be dis
.layed from tho new high school building
every day hereafter. This forecasts nre fur
nished from Washington, and ars not only
for Helena, but cover all Montana. 10 II
there IL a flag up to-day which says II will
anow, ana IL proves to bs clear In Holena,
il must not be concluded that the forecast
was wrong until IL 10 learned whether or no
ii was clear throughout the whole state.
or course the signals now to b8 used are
not just what Helena wants, but IL is a step
in the right direction. MIR. Glass hopes to
be able In little while to furnish forecasts
for Helena and tho immediate vicinity, as
we'll as daily weather maps In order that
everyone may know just what the hags dis
following code ia given:
White SOU re flag g-Clear weather.
Blue square tiaR-rain or snow.
One-hRlf white and one-half blue square
faa--Local rain or snow.
White flag, with blue aquare in tho cen
ter-A cold wave ia coming and the tenn
perature will fall twenty degrees or more
to minimum of thirty-two degrees or less.
Black pennant-This is temperature
signal, and when displayed above either of
the first three mentioned indicates warmer
weather; displayed bel 3w these flags, eolde r..
When the psnnant is not flying, 1t means
normal temperature.
The forecasts are made in Washington at
six 4. m. and are for the succeeding twenty
four hours. The signals will be put up in
Helena each day at II a. m.

A Handsome Christmas Present.


To make proper Christmas present is at
times tormenting. One will naturally say,
II scarcely know what to buy, or what will
be suitable" Everybody is anxious that
their present, let it be diminutive or great,
should at least have a just appreciation.
Place after place is searched, and still one
is undecided. "Confound itr' he solilo-
quizes, II amt hard to please. I know
right from wrong, hut these gimcracks
don't suit me. / know what will do;
will act upon the suggestion of the New
York Dry Pr Goods Goods s'otf 5 noble thing. %

nonsense Of the city. Or, see," he con-
tinued, this fine piece of silk warped Hen

side our store in Montana. Or this excel
lent grade of broadcloth, in black or
colors; what a useful present, what good,
sound judgment you will exercise in your
selections. Or perhaps you have some one
| in your minds eye, the thoughts Of whom
gladdens your heart and quickens its mighty
pulsations-then again the New York Store
comes to your rescue. Many rich and costly
sets of furs ere placed before you, awaiting
your choice. You will not 60 amiss in
either, all are proper, all commendable
present. Any of them will make most
handsome and suitable holiday gift. Per-
haps you would rrefer some imported nov
elites, then cast your eye to the grand dis
play exposed to view upon the round center
counter, delicate, useful and rich appearing
goods from all countries and every CLINE.
Quaint novelties from the orient, from the
antipodss. visit to the New York Dry
Goods Store will pay you. A holiday selec-
tion for present made easy. An infinite
perfection in every thing, and everything at
New York prices.

A Colossal Sale.

A bargain sale compared with which all
the bargain sales of the year sink into in
significance. will be inaugurated this week
at Sands Bros. Az announced in their ad-
vertisement to-day, they have determined
to close out their entire stock of winter
cloaks, jackets. wraps, capes and newman
kets, and to effect this end as quickly as
possible the cost of goods will not be con-
sidersd but tremendous sacrifice will be
made throughout the department. As ex-
planned in their announcement, Sands
Bros purchases were unusually large this
season and as the cloak department is
greatly overstocked they intend to reduce
at once regardless of either cost or profit.
Prices have been made on rich, new, and
fashionable garments that will amaze the
most skeptcal bargain seekers. Assignee
sales, or cut price sales 'cut no figure"
in comparison to this slaughter sale at
Sands Bros Probably no three houses in
Montana, with their stocks combined,
could display the variety now offered at
Sands Bros and no suoh low prices have
heretofore been named on seasonable and
desirable garments. As at ted in their ad
vertissment, all purchases must be made
for cash only during the sale. Positively
without exception.

GENUINE SEAIsK ms NO CHEAPER


sn0 NopOrL from IOuu0n 10 tDe contrary
Was Misleading.
Somo time ngo report went the rounds
Of the press that there would be reduction
In tho price of aealekina. The story came
from London, and n gentleman familiar
with tho scalskn trade hns this to say TO q
Now York Times reporter about ~; "The
skins TO which tho London dispatch re-
fsrred were not prime Alaska goods, but
Copper island skins of IN inferior grade,
known to the trade as poachen skins. They
are the catch OF pirates and are badly
damaged by shot holes. The skins that are
OF nm inferior quality for many reasons,
among which may be mentioned tho fact
that poachers have but little time and can
not give sufficient cara to the matter OF
retaining tho skins in good condition.
IAN investigation of the actual situa tion
of affairs in the Bealskin market to-day
shows Il moderate supply OF goods and n
great scarcity Of skilled labor. which 40 to
create q tendency toward higher prices. A
glance Mt tho figures showing the amount
of skins sold ct the London sales during
the past nine years proves that thore has
been falling of in the supply, and en-
phasizes the assertion that there IL but
little danger OF any increase This view
of the case is further borne out by the
new contract which the government has
made limiting tho catch.
"London sales for the last nine wears ran
from III, ,2O5 skins in 1883 to 226,378 in 1887,
scaling off to 1868 in 1880 and 80, 1913 in
1891 to Oct. 2G. These fgures are regarded
as excluding nearly every chance for de-
cline in price.
1.-The skins that are uged in this country
arc obtained in Alaska, Copper Island,
Victoria, Cape Horn, Japan, and Seal
Island. OF these, the Alaska skins are the
best and the highest in price.
''rhs testimony of tho trade il said to be
that tho demand for sealskin garments is
steadily increasing, without any CORE
spending increase IN the means of satisfy
ing that demand, and as sealskin garments
will doubtless continue to be fashionable
an increase in their cost rather than de.
creaee would seem inevitable"

has bsen sent out of Helena during the
weeks preceding Christmas for presents for
tho children. The goods received in return
have been for the Sunday School Christmas
trees and for the little ones at homo. This
year Helena people who do this will have
no valid excuse. All the dealers in Helena
have big stocks of toys and other things
for tho children. and one house. that of
William Weinstein & Co., will sell them at
prices as low as any house in the east.
Their line is full, consisting of dolls,
knives, wagons, sleds, and in fact
everything in the toy line. For
the larger children there are hand
some bits of china, jewelry. books. albums
whiting desks, and hundred other simple
things. Mr.. Weinstein guarantees that to
teachers and Sunday school officers gener
ally his prices will be as low as those of
any Wholesale house in the east, and asks
that before purchases are made elsewhere
those interested will examine his goods and
get his prices.
