A good advertisement for our busj-
ness men in selling goods cheaper than
they do in Grand Rapids is found in
the fact that while w. w. Heulster,
the Grand Rapids box factory man was
here last week he bought of Holmes
Bros. quantity of gents furnishing
goods which included half dozen fine
shirts ties. handkerchiefs underwear,
etc, at considerably less than what he
would have been obliged To pay for
them in his own town. He says the
same shirt he paid Sl00 for here would
have cost him Sl.50 in Grand Rapids.

A Political Difficulty.

The holding of the populist state
convention at Moscow may be regard
ed as concession to the middle of-the
readers rather than MS the ascondancy
Of that element. The fixing Of the
time and place Of holding their con-
veution without any reference to the
litical parties is an exhibition Of lnde-
| pendence that may seem courageous,
bnt it is questionable whether it is
wise. II the populists had already de-
clared against fusing with any other
party their course in disregarding other
parties would be right and consistent,
but this question, judging from their
address, has not yet been settled.
The democratic and silver republican
conventions will probably, though not
positively, be held at Boise. Suppose,
then, the voters Of the populist party
should instruct their delegates to ar
range, If it could be done satisfactorily,
a fusion with another or other silver
parties, how Is it going to be done
with one convention meeting in BOISE
OF August 10Th. and another in Mos
COW on August Sth? 1t is true that
the arrangements and details would
all be practically settled by commit
tee Of each body anyhow, but the re-
suit would have to be ratified by a
duly authorized convention in order to
make it effective and satisfactory to
the voters of the respective parties.
The present movement of the popu
lists is not understood to be prevent
i've Of an association with other par
ties, nor should it be understood even
to indicate an unwillingness to enter
such an association if it should later
seem to be oxpedient, but it does IN
questionably seem to invest the pur-
oses of the populists with a great
deal OF unnecessary uncertainty and
lend many difficulties and objections
to carrying out the plans Of the ma
tional organizations. The populists
are likely to argue, as the report of
the committee meeting would seem to
Indicate, that there is nothing to pre-
vent the democrats and silver repub-
licans from following them up and
joining them at Moscow, nor would
there be if they were lot Of petulant

and consequence to every citizen in

The |nited States Supreme Court

The Thomas Mystery Called to
Hind


The disappearance of Dick and
Sally Thomas from their ranch on
South Sinker, in the War Eagle
foothills, nearly two years ago, has
again been brought to mind by the
finding of skull in that vicinity
by a locoed sheepherder. 1t APP
pears that the fellow had skull in
his camp, on the hills east of the
Sinker and had told parties that
he found it where a body had evil
IDENTIFY been burned, and that there
were charred bones, buttons, ETC.,
on the spot, and as he thought
there had been a reward offered for
the discovery of the remains of this
couple, he was going to try to get
the reward. Sheriff Crocheron hear
ing of this went out to the mans
camp and, with considerable diff
Guilty, made him produce the skull.
But fearing he would lose the re-
ward, and intending to go to Klon-
dixie before long, and fearing he
might be held as a witness, refused
to reveal the spot where he found
it. When the sheriff tried to scare
him into telling, he took him to a
place known as the petrified In
dams grave, which did not fool
Crocheron, for he had himself
dug up the Indian several years
ago. The sheepherder has since
skipped. Crocheron brought the
skull to town and it has been pro-
nounced by the physicians to be
the skull of a middle-aged woman.

or four years.
