Embroideries Now q Fad.

Not since the days of our great.grand-
mothers has SO much hand work been
seen Oh the best gowns Of the season.
1t is the chief reason of the costliness Of
the newest frocks.
Silk embroidery is one of the favorite
trimmings this year, and the elaborate
designs are all worked by hand.
Bodices and even gowns made entire.
ly of sequins are one of the fashions Of
the hour, and every separate tiny sequin
is sewed to the foundation by hand.
Jeweled lace is much used, and if
the lace is worthy its price the jewell
ing is all hand work.
Many of the collarettes which glisten
with spangles have taken days of hard
work to fashion, for each spangle has
been sewed by hand.
There are more tucks used this year
than for many seasons past They are
fine, dainty tucks and are the work Of
delicate fingers Many of the little
French bodices are entirely Of tucks
Tucked sleeves are also much worn.
Not only are the sheer fabrics tucked,
but many of the heavier materials.
Hemstitching by hand is also much
the vogue

There used to be held, in accordance
with Murchisons Z well knewn geolog.
ical views, the general theory that
mountains were mainly due to cracks
which tcok place in the surface ct the
earth in remote pericds, but this idea is
no longer entertained ly scientific men.
AS to the form Of mountains, that which
is know II as table mountain finds the
best example, curiously enough, at the
cape of Good Hope, mountain, it is
believed, due not to any action or phe-
nomenon Of upheaval, hut to the sink
ing of the surrounding districts or ter
ritory. Why these peculiarly defined
areas did not sink was owing, it is
thought, to the probable fact that the
ground under them cooled before the
rest of the section, and thus the table
mountain had the earlier foundation
and has long retained it's place. There
would always be denudation, however,
though proportionate with its surround
ings, and therefore, owing to this fact
of being higher at the start, it still keeps
to its approximate elevation.

Phil G.. Sullivan and Mrs. Freda M,
Curn, both of Philipsburg, were married
in Rathdrum, Idaho, last Wednesday,
after which they visited Spokane, Mis-
soula and other points until Saturday
evening, when they returned home. This
event is the elimination of quite long
courtship, and among their friends has
been looked for at any time during the
past several months.
1t was quiet "sneak" they made on
their friends, and but for the ever alert
newspaper reporter in Missoula they
wouldn't have known anything of it until
their return home Saturday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan are at present
boarding, but expect to go to housekeep-
ing by the first of next week. They have
the best wishes of a wide circle of friends
for long life and smooth sailing.-Phil-

The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the tired
body, weakened organs and nervous sys-
tenn yearn for building-up medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait for
the opening spring weather and, in fact,
delay giving attention to their physical
condition SO long that long siege OF
sickness is inevitable. To rid the system
Of the impurities, and to purify the
blood, there is nothing equal to Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

J. G. Robinson, prominent attorney
from Deer Lodge, is spending few days
at the fruit growers meeting. The ven
cradle attorney is an authority on water
rights and knows thing or two about
farming in all its details. He comes
from farming center and is therefore at
home among the orchardists. Like
great many others he is somewhat sur
prised at the adyancements in the cul-
ture of fruit and berries in the western
part of the state. There is another sur
prise in store for the colonel from Deer
Lodge and that is when he hears the
world-renowned farmer and tragedian
Herr Daniel Z. Bandmann recite "Othel-

on Friday evening.-Missoulian.

A DUEL TO THE DEATH.


Bob Wilson, an Old Resident of This City,
Killed at Red Lodge.
News was received in Deer Lodge
Monday of the death of Robert Wilson,
who was better known in Deer Lodge for
many years as "Bob" Wilson. No partic-
ulars of the tragedy were received until
the arrival of the morning papers Tues
day, when it was learned that shooting
affray had occurred at Red Lodge Sun
day night in which Wilson was killed and
a man named Stanley Miller mortally
wounded. 1t appears that Miller owed
Wilson some money, and that the latter
reminded him of it in the presence Of
some friends, when a quarrel ensued in
which the men came to blows, but were
separated. Later both men armed them
selves, but they did not meet until about
1 o'clock Monday morning, when Wilson,
who was sitting in a saloon at Red Lodge,
made the remark that he would go home,
and got up to leave the saloon. When a
short distance from the door he met Mil
Ter and both men pulled their revolvers
and began firing. Wilson received two
bullets in his breast and fell to the floor.
Miller had been shot through the lungs,
but received another ball, which broke
one of his legs, from Wilson's gun before
the latter expired.
Bob Wilson was born and had spent
most OF his life in Deer Lodge. He left
here about five years ago and did not
again return until about three weeks ago,
when he came to his old home and re-
mained a few days. Years ago Bob was
frequent visitor at The New NORTH
WEST office, and the writer always had a
kindly feeling toward him. He did not
"pass us by" in his last visit, but came in
to talk over old times. lie was naturally
good natured and generous; he told us of
his wanderings since he left Deer Lodge;
of his good resolutions and weakness.
Poor Bob He did not then know that in
three short weeks all would be over. His
remains were buried at Red Lodge on
Wednesday.

First avenue, day before yesterday, was
one of the best known men on the Pacific
coast, although he had lived retired life
for the past seven years. He was born
in Bangor, Me-, July 80, 1880. His father
was Rev. Benjamin Huntoon, and his
mother was Susan NJ. Huntoon. He was
educated at Hamden Academy, Maine,

His funeral services were conducted at

izer of the A. o. U. W. for the jurisdic-
ton of Washington, who delivered a
brief address in which he paid beauti-
full tribute to Mr.. Huntoon.
