THF RESULT OF OUR FIFTEEN
YEARS EXPERIENCE.
1t is Worth Your Reading

CHARACTERS
there is just as much difference in
clothing-as there is in people. Some
are expressive in their general appear
ance, they have character. The style,
design, finish, workmanship, material /;
all contribute to the desired effect.
OUR CLOTHES
possess an ivdescribable something
which stamps them as "high-ciass, 1t
is the result of tailoring art, applied by
tailoring brains, to the best tailoring ma
terial. Underbuy and undersell has
been our battle cry; it has placed our
banner way up on commercial heights,
while the indolent and the irnitators of
trade are YEARLY plodding by the way
side.
SUCCESS
is evanescent, to hold it in your ranks,
you must be alert, handle the right goods,
keep you business alive with new meth
DDS, new goods and new ideas.
Cheap made clothes made cheap look
ing people. $500 and $500 clothes are
not cheap, we don't sell them. Clothes
must be good. must have appearance,
character.
OURS
fill the want, our brains go with
them. To slang it: Smoke up, OF
you'll go out" Trade with us, trot with
us, and you'll be placed in the winning
class. WM. KAHN,
The Leading Clothler,

A serious accident happened in the Transit slope of the Hoosier mlne at g o'clock last Thursday night, Kent Ester and James Leasman being caught by falling rock and very badly injured Skeffington, another miner working with them, fortunately escaped injury. Ester had both legs broken below the knees, and received scalp wound and other confusions, while Leasman was seriously hurt in the back, which was at first thought to be broken, but happily, did not prove to be the case. Leasman has improved considerably, and his recovery IS now expected. Ester's condition is not so favorable One of his legs was very badly fractured, the bone protrud- ing through the flesh, and his age, 55 years, is against him.-Arizona Silver Belt.

The simplicity of New York newspapers is quite refreshing. To them the prize fight to take place in Nevada this month is a horrid vulgar affair. Nothing like it could occur in the Empire City. When the wealthy gentlemen of Manhat
 tan are in need of diversion one of the select sect gives a nice little dinner, at which several beautiful maidens, clothed only in their mod
 esty, entertain them with all the charming dances of the day. The tastes of New York gentlemen are too aesthetic to tolerate the ulgar in any form and it can only exist in some of the primitive states where intelligence is at a low ebb.

The Boston Globe deplores the fact that the United States Senate is the theater of an attempt to de- feat the notable treaty of arbitra- tion between the United States and England. The Globe deplores the tactics of opposition formulated by the present senate as a great public calamity, especially, we suppose, to Great Britain and the cholly boys of the Eastern states. The Bostonian journal is not aware that the treaty gives to England ad- vantages over the American cousin not at all agreeable to the gentle men composing the upper house of congress.

Many people are beginning to appreciate the fact that in this great and glorious republic of ours soup houses are becoming a neces- sity. As thousands of dollars are subscribed annually for the main tenance of the poor, in San Fran cisco and other large cities, why would it not be a good idea to furnish the needy with renumera- tive employment on road building and other public work at the ex- pense of the state? Of course taxes might be higher, but it would save individuals from being imposed upon by the genus tramp who will not work. At this season of the year there are thousands of men in our great cities and throughout the country, with families dependent on them, who are penniless and without the means to earn an hon. est dollar. Why bring these men to feel that they are receiving a charitable donation when they are willing to work for all they get?

Master Workman Sovereign has made an attack on the ballot box, claiming that it is but the toy of monopoly. Sovereign does not pro- pose a remedy only in a revolution. A revolution settles nothing. The poor fool who votes for monopoly takes up his gun and fights for the
 same old monopoly in another form. If the fools would only elect men to office to carry out their wishes and failing to do so hang them in a few instances, they would give monop- olistic legislation a decided check.
