Promised before Christmas we would
tell our patrons why so great number
of people trade with us and will en-
deavor TO make good our promise.
We believe the reasons are: First
Because our patrons have discovered
that our aim and purpose is to deal fair
and honorable with them. Second
Because 1t is a distinct advantage
financially for everybody who trades
with US. Third-Because they like our
system of doing business, which has
made 1t pleasure to do the marketing.
Fourth-Because in our establishments
can be found every variety kept In
the well ordered markets of New York
and Boston, and lastly. because we
have not resorted to any smart adver-
tising schemes. but have told the pub.
lie plain facts. The public know IL we
tell them the supply of poultry for
Christmas is likely to be short, such is
the fact, and they govern themselves
accordingly.

IRON BARS SWUN G.
Dunlap, Famous Bank Robber, Par
doned by Gov. Russell.
HIS CASE HEARD MANY TIMES
By the Council Since ne Was First Tm-
prisoned-He Was Sentenced I'm 1877
for the Northampton Bank Break
Imprisonment Ended.

Boston, Dec. 29.-Bank robber James
Dunlap has been pardoned by Gov. Russell.
The executive council met at l2 90 o'clock
yesterday afternoon and voted unani-
mously In favor of the pardon.
The matter was taken up at the request
OF Gov. Russell, WHO, after the meeting,
communicated with Mrs. Scott Rowland,
who has been working for his release, and
informed her that Dunlap would be free
man today. Later in the afternoon he
made public this statement:
he case OF James Dunlap has attracted
so much public attention that It seems
proper to state the facts in regard to II.
he was sentenced Dec. 20, 1877. for the
robbery OF the Northampton Bank. His
term OF sentence will expire December.
1893.
Sentence was suspended for time in
the expectation that he would be able to
make restitution for the property stolen,
which fact, IL was stated would be taken
into account In giving him sentence.
through his Efforts stolen property to the
Amount OF 81 100000
was restored to the bank. This restitu-
tion was made after numerous confer
ences with the officials of the state, and
every assurance was given him that prop
erly could be given by the governor and
other officials that In case of restitution
OF property every effort would be made
to reduce his sentence by pardon.
"Since then the case has been repeated
ly before the governor and council. A
pardon has been strongly urged by the
president and officials OF the bank by
Mr.. Long, who was governor at the time
the property was recovered, by the coun-
sci in the case, by all the surviving jury
men who could be found, by the wardens
OF the state prison under whom Dunlap
has served and by many prominent citi-
xens.
"The executive council OF 1888 recom-
mended that he be pardoned in 1890. The
executive council Of 1891 recommended
that pardon be granted forthwith, and
again recommended that q pardon be
granted forthwith,
Though q Minority Dissented.
Notwithstanding these recommends |
tions, the governor declined to grant the
pardon. The executive council yesterday, |
now by unanimous vote of all It's men, |
bers, again recommended that a pardon
recommendation of three different coun- |
ellis, unanimous recommendation of the |
present council, the fact that but a year |
Of the sentence remains, and that his con- |
duct In prison has been absolutely per- |
!ecf, II seems to me proper that pardon |
should be issued.
"Mr. Dunlap certainly received every |
possible assurance that, In case Of restitu- |
ion OF property, which he has since made,
mis- sentence should be shortened IL posi-
Dle."
The pardon is now in the executive
chamber and will be held until Mrs.
Rowland calls. II was her wish that she
hould be the first person informed II
Dunlap was pardoned, and that she might
AIRY the papers to the prison.

TRYING FOR A JURY.
The Ceur d. Alene Miners Suits
Commenced.
EVIDENCE TO BE TAKEN TODAY.
Prisoners Making Complaints on Only Be-
csiyIng Two Meals Per Day-Marshal
Pinkham Is Blamed.

CoUR D'ALENB, Ida, Sept. Especial
telegram to The HERALDl-The United
States court met this morning at 10
O'Clock and the examination OF jurors com
menced, and at the close OF the court
seventy-nine Jurors had been examined,
four Of whom were excused for icause and
one by peremptory challenge Dy the pros
ecution. Messrs. Reddy and ..Hawley, for
all the defendants except Attorney Bush
nel interposed a psremptory challenge
against James Johnson of Moscow. Judge
Ganahl representing the defendant Bus
hnel, re- fused to join In the challenge.
Pending q solution of the difficulty into
which the court was placed by this pro-
ceeding a recess was taken until O'Clock.
During the examination Of the Jurors for
cause considerable amusement was created
by the answer of juror G. w. Toner. who
when questioned as to having sn opinion
founded upon newspaper articles that
he had read, answered that he believed
nothing he read in any newspaper.
Judge Beatty took the position during
the examination that the defense were not
privileged to inquire into the opinion Of
jurors in regard TO the mine owners or or
ganization and the matters included win
it; most of the discussion Of the court upon
the numerous disputes between counsel to
day were decided against the defendants and
showed bias upon the part of court In favor
of the prosecution. It now looks as if the
jury will be completed by noon tomorrow,
and the taking of the evidence will begin
during the afternoon session.
Judge Holman of the state district court
informed the friends of Peter Breeu, now
in confinement al Wallace Oh the charge Of
murder, that upon the deposit of cash bail
to the amount of $50, 600 in the Miners and
Stock Growers bank Of this place, an order
would be issued to District Attorney
O'Neil for the release of Breen.
The prisoners in custody are making
complaint against Marshal Pinkham for
only allowing two meals day, and the
friends OF the prisoners have succeeded In
getting the promise of three meals in the
future. 1t seems to be quite the thing to
reduce this expense when occasioned by
defendants, but the prosecution seems to
have an open treasury when any help is
needed for furthering the mine owners
cause

Details of the Fight.

RISe SIDE, OLYMPIC CLUB, NRw Or
LEANS, Sept. 7.-Fhe excitement that has
prevailed In this city has had no parallel
since the Italian assassination eighteen
months ago. There has been no subject of
conversation discussed In any quarter save
the event of the evening. of which every
portion of the civilized world is more or less
deeply interested in. 1t apparently af-
fected the outside as deeply as it did the
participants in the battle.
Both men were known to be in prime
condition, aud the greatest fight OF the
series was looked forward to by all with
keen anticipation.
There was universal movement in the
direction of the club even before evening
began to fall. Business men. lawyers and
journalists took their dinners down town
and had vehicles ordered early. They were
willing to wait at the club, but they were
unwilling to waste time going down.
Ate O'Clock carriages were already head
ing down Csnalsstreet, which was crowded
with people and vehicles. Down the inter
secting streets carriages reached to the
scene of the battle. Down in the neignbor-
hood Of the club for blocks and blocks car
riages were strung along the curbstones
and every street corner had crowd.
The Sullivan people came to the club
first They took carriage at the hotel be-
fore and drove Ieisurely down with .
string Of hacks.

the slender columns that should uphold the
man.
When the fight began Corbett came up
prancing, verify prancing. He teetered
about Sullivan ike a carpet amateur and
while the crowd laughed, Sullivan smiled
as though amused. So did Corbett, but
one grew terribly serious before
the night had grown much older.
while the other continued to smile in the
face of his foe and is smiling
yet Coming up for the second round,
the crowd was treated to what has
gone down into history as 1.-THE Sullivan
rush, His awful right few out, but find

back Of the cat like fellow, who wheeled
suddenly and slammed his left on the big
mans stomach.
YeIls Did the crowd yell? 1t did. and

The cheers for his foes oleverness net
tied the champion, though again he smiled
in derisive way while Corbett laughed in
his face. The spectacle was new, old-timers
never before having seen any man laugh
in Sullivan's face. So it went on. There
was an onslaught by the champion, but
there was no teetering. Then straight and
swift as lightning Corbett's left shot forth
and landed with shock on Sullivans jaw.
Sullivan would brook no such liberties. To
be sure, he had not yet landed a blow OF
any moment on Corbett, but after such an
atfront he would Kill his presumptuous foe.
The big fellows jaws closed. His lower
lip became pushed up against its fellow and
the crowd cried;
.'See Sullivan's mug now!"
Corbett needed the injunction. Again
his right shot away and returned
and could it be blood that stained
Sullivan's nose and trickled over
his lips surely he now would grind Corbett
to atoms, ana ne tried, but away few Cor
belts left and right. landing sqoarly on
the damaged nose again and again. The
blows mashed the blood over Sullivan's
face until it was dripping with the red
fluid.

SENATOR CULLOM's SPEECH.
He Opens the Campaign for the Republicans
in Illinois


JOLIET, Ills, Sept. 7.-Seuator Shelby
NJ Cullom OF Illinois made the first speech
of the campaign as the exponent Of Repub-
lican principles, at Chautauqua grounds
this afternoon. There was large crowd
in attendance and the speech was much
applauded. The tariff question was the
principal subject of discussion, the senator
stating that for once the Democratic party
has declared frankly its position on the
question, for the free trade issue is now
fairly made up, and in this campaign two
great parties go to the country to discuss
the question Upon its merits. free trade
versus protection. After one hundred
years of tariff legislation, much of it under
Democratic administrations, the Demo
Gratis suddenly discover and declare in
their platform that it is unconstitu
tional TO shape the tariff act so ss
to give protection to American manufsc-
tories while securing the necessary rsve-
nue. to carry on the government. The Dom
ocratic platform found hearty commenda-
ton from foreign and the English press
generally, but would not meet the approval
of the American people for whom it ia the
function of the American Congress TO leg
islate. Senator CuIlom devoted great
length 10 Reviewing bu6 D6u6ut4 bldt u6F1
accrued from protection to wage earners
in the United States and showed by CON-
parison how it mad gradually reduced the
cost of living. Abiding to the tin plate
question he declared that with the protec-
ton of the Mckinley Dill f3, $40, 600 pounds
of tin plate had been produced in This
country during the year ending June 30
last. This result totally destroyed the po-
siti0n Of the Democratic party on this ques-
ton, as facts are more potent than theories.
Farmers sometimes complained of protec-
ton but the surest method to advance the
price OF all farm products and crops is
through the diversity Of LABOR, so as to
produce home consumption Of American
products, the establishment of new in
dustries and manufactures by protection.
In conclusion Senator Cuilom paid glow
| ing tribute to James G.. Blaine as the
author Of the system OF reciprocity, and
denounced Democratic pretentions on that
subject He also srrsigned the Demo-
cratic party as being, according to their
present platform. In favor ofsths abolition
OF national banks, and return to the old
state bank system. They would discard
100-e cent national currency and return TO
red dog and wildcat state currency The
Republican party favors maintaining the
present system, under which no man ever
lost dollar By having national bank notes
in his pocket.

GLADsTONE's VIEWS
On the Coming International Monetary
Conference.

LONDON, Sept. r. The Associated Press
is authorized to state that both Gladstone
and Harcourt, his chancellor OF the ex-
chequer, are averse to the international
monetary conference discussing anything
affecting the currency of the British EN-
pire. Gladstone thinks that If anything is
done to relieve the reign of the monetary
differences it ought to be effected without
an agreement or confere nee with the
United States authorities. Gladstone
and Harcourt both think the con-
ference will lead to nothing.
1t has been learned that Gladstone priv
ately expressed the opinion that Goshen
has gone too far in negotiating with the
secretary and finally the officials were
asked why the Washington government did
not forward fresh papers on the subject
In reference to the suspension of silver
coinage in India it is learned that the pres
sure of the Indian government is ia favor
of suspension and is SO urgent that special
cabinet meeting will shortly be convened
to decide the question which is considered
much more critical and important than the
monetary conference.
