a week ago the store has been crowded
every day and all day, and if you have
not been down yet, your neighbor
probably has and can tell you of the
many good bargains to be found in
every department. Every little while
we run across some line of goods of
which there is only limited quantity
and in such cases it is put on sale at a
special price which soon closes the
lot. We mention this to show you
that there are always bargains mot
on the bills"
TailOr-Made Wool Suits.
If you would contemplate a trip and
would like something swell to wear,
we will fit you out at about half the
ordinary price, and we make altera-
tons free. the same applies to ready
made wool Skirts in black, also plaids
and plain colors.
The Millinery Department
is also making half prices on every line
in the stock, and you can buy a new
hat or tone up the old one for a very
small price. Flowers, fancy ribbons,
ornaments are included in the cut

A case of considerable interest which
has been pending since April last was de-
cided by Judge Sale in the county court.
1t was a contest of the will of the late
keoccca Morgan, of Milton Junction, by
the seven grandchildren of the deceased
all of whom reside in Minnesota and
Iowa. The contest in favor of the will
was made by Eliza Goodrich, of Milton
junction. a daughter of Mrs Morgan,
and who, under the WILL took the largest
portion of the estate. Judge Sale after
hearing the evidence refused to allow the
will as made on the ground that it was
procured by undue influence. The
plaintiffs were the children of deceased
son of Mrs Morgan's and by the will they
were practically disinherited. The con
test has been long drawn out one and
many witnesses were sworn on both
sides. John Cunningham, with Charles
E Pierce as counsel appeared for the
plaintiffs and e D MCGOWAN defended
Mrs Goodrich.

shooting happened about 2 p NJ and he
was found by Mr. Fred Springer about
an hour thereafter. The ball from the
revolver entered above the ear and found
Judgment near the skull, it passing
through the brain, hence death was in
Simultaneous. From all the facts that
could be CLEANED by the court of inquiry,
warranted the jury in bringing in a YER
dict of death from gun shot wound in

never be brought to light as he was alone

THE croaker, who insists that F.ag- staff is dead, is having a hard time to convince even himself that such is the case. With buildings going up in every direction and our merchants and mills doing larger business than in any year since the incorporation of the town, the "knocker" is compelled to stand aside and watch the progress of the town.

THE best news of the week is the resignation of Russell A. Alger as secretary of war. At no time during his incumbency has MT. Alger had the confidence of the people. It is said that the cause of the resignation was the recognizing by the president of General Miles as acting secretary, to which position General Miles was en- titled, owing to the absence of the secretary and his assistant. Alger re- fused to allow Miles to assume the duties of the office during his absence.

THE newspaper correspondents in the Philippines are anxious 10 run the army. and in q ''round robin" object to Gen. Otis placing a news censor over them. In previous wars such pro- ceeding would have resulted in the ar rest and court martial of every signer of the protest against the commanding general. It is probable that in this case the offenders will be recalled and less sensational correspondents sub stituted in their places.

The Question of Riots.
[Nampa LEADER

Na1ppA Leuucr.I
The state administration
must be sustained in its effort
to crush out anarchy such as
has been developed at, Ward
ner, and that this will be done
there is no doubt. United
States troops will be kept at
Wardner for years if neces..
sary, until the bogus miners
union there is wiped out, and
good, square, honest working.
mems unions are substituted
for them. What rot to talk
about the governors idea be-
ing to demoralize labor unions
or being influenced by capital
to take the course he has pur.
sued.
Every one knows that q
quarter million dollars worth
of property has been destroyed
and two lives taken. They
knew that nearly 1000 men
participated in the riot-all
members of the bogus unions
of that section. Do the min.
ers' unions of other sections
propose to join hands with
these rioters and murderers,
and by voting them financial
aid and resolutions of encour.
agement approve their work
and also make themselves re:
sponsible for future outrages of
this same character? Does
any sane laboring man or
member of any labor union
really believe that violence
will ever give him better pay
or more benefits? On the con-
trary, it will make bad worse
and always defeat its own ends.
' Better by far for labor to work
;, peaceably and quietly and rec
tlfy its wrongs by arbitration
or at the polls, the only safe
: guard for all citizens. 1t is
! time for the state press to take
: sides in the matter and either
: show their hands for or against
murder and riot. Any attempt
e or disposition to work up po-
!, litical capital out of the situa.
!, !, ton by party organs at the ex-
pense of law and order will
!, soon be discouraged and de.
Y feated by a fair.minded and
r reading public.

gold-producing claims are on . con-
tinuous lead traversing the dis
trict. True it is these claims stretch
south in an almost unbroken course
and the outcroppings bob up here
and there quite identical in APP
pearance and by the way, very
"hungry" in appearance, too.
Further, every days work on these
claims illustrates the striking sim
ilarity eff the ore and strengthens
the theory that the claims carry
the same main vein. However, to
offset this, men who should know
what they are talking about say

Exciting Runaway.

From Fridays daily.
Hall street was the scene of an
exciting runaway last night about
6 O'Clock. A team owned by E.
Sweet dashed down the street at
breakneck pace. Fortunately few
pedestrians were on the street at
that hour, hence there was little or
no chance of accident. One or two
Intellectual efforts were made to
stop the excited horses, but they
were entirely beyond control. Fin
ally near the junction OF Hall
and north Fifth streets the team
swerved and swung the wagon
against a telegraph pole, breaking
the harness sufficiently to permit
them to run free, and then the in
furiated beasts ran a short distance
further. where they stopped near a
barbed wire fence.
The facts seem to be that the
driver. D. L. McGarren, who was
delivering brick for the A. \ r;
building on the corner OF Main and
Hall streets, had unloaded his team
when the sudden falling OF some
brick from an adjacent wagon
scared his horses. He attempted
TO hold them but it was impossible,
and after dragging him short dist
ia loft the excited beasts
loose. The driver had one or two
slioht flesh wounds about the head
and cheek
