Copper Is the principal metal used in
manufact urina, mining and scientific in
terests. consequently the product OF this
metal has increased to wonderful pro-
portions. There we're mined and sent to
market during 1894 over 3GO,OO0,OOO
pounds Of this there were exported
about lNO,O0O,OC0 pounds, leaving for
home Us iAbou. the same amount. AS
the production of foreign copper did
not exceed l97. 100000 pounds, it will be
seen that the United States mined and
marketed two thirds of the worlds pro
ducton.
The force at the Glengarry mine has
been considerably reduced of late on

fuse tu to it and he omDIed. 1t could
result in no hardship to the bank If the
warrant Was legal, and there we're sew
eral questions which might aa well be
tested nov in a court OF final resort
Attorney Shores said in substance to
a TRIBUNE reporter that there was grave
doubt in his mind whether any of the
warrants cashe. by the county treasurer,
issued by the board, were legal warrants.
The statute is not specific in the case of
school warrants, AS it is in the case of
city ard county warrants. In these
latter cases it provides that they shall be
signed by the mayor and clerk or the
chairman Of the county commissioners
aud the county clerk on due authority
from the council or board, as the case
might be, 10 regard to school warrants
it was different. The 'aw authorizes the
school trustees to draw warrants for
certain purposes. and he had grave
doubts as to whether or not the names of
all the trustees should not be attached
to school warrant. AS this question
was liable to arise hereafter on other
warrants, his client thought it best to
prosecute the present case in the supreme
court and put it at rest.
Mr.. Shores denied that there was any
malice in the appeal of this case or any
desire to injure any bank, but justified
the appeal on grounds Of public policy,
and the benefit OF the taxpayers

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Charles trNy H. Weary of E'hi> world
and Tiles tn Leave Ut.

Saturday morning about seven o clock
City Detective Germ was nutiiied that
uan on the West side had attempted
to commit suicide by tahir, poison, and
| fastening across the river he found
| Charles Gray lying near the Great
| Northern ice house vomiting, and appa-
rently Il very sick man. 10 the Inquiries
of the officer Gray replied ttat he had
taken dose of squirrel poison, contain
ing strychniue and that he was tired of
living and wanted to be lot alone. The
officer put him under arrest and coz
veyed him to the county jail, where Dr..
iordon was summoned The latter
promptly administered the proper anti
dotes, and he will probably recover, es
pecialy as most of the poison was un-
doubtedly thrcwl up from his stomach
before it had time to get in its deadly
work.
1t was learned that Gray tried to
borrow Il revolver from several parties
during the morning with the intention
of shooting himself. lie also expressed
a determination to leave the world by
the river route. 10 Detective Germ he
said that it was no use to arrest him, as
he would finish the job as soon as he got
a chance. He said that he bad great
deal of trouble on his mind and that life
had no further charms for him.
Letters found on his person give some
clue to the troubles he referred to- lie
has Il wife and child living in Medical
Lake, Washington about eighteen miles
from Spokane. and its seems his wife was
taking steps to secure divorce, and had
found more congonla. company in the
person Of another man. These things
evidently preycd on his mind
Gray has been here about three
months, coming here from hettbridge,
He has been working at the residence Of
the late II, 2. Rolfe. as general all.round
man at work until recently. lie has a
good character here among the few that
know him. and it is probably that he has
been brooding over bis family troubles

GREAT FALLS
DRY GOODS co,

How coed? That is one of the
questions ever confronting the
buyers of Dry Goods. The other
is, how much? Some dealers con-
tinuaily harp upon the quality of
their goods, and try to give them
a fictitious value, by asking an
extraordinary price. Others talk
quantity only and sacrifice worth
to bulk. Our plan is to give the
best quality in the largest quan
tity, more goods and better goods
for a dollar than any ste re in town.
