IF the man whose body was ripped
open with a knife New Year day. In
Butte. lives n gets well. II will be
a wonder; the testimony OF the physi-
clans. when he first came under their
care. was hat there was next TO no
chance for him.
The murderous assault on this man
was one Of the sequels OF n Sunday
cock hght-the crime attracted a little
more of attention than IL the rule In
Butte because u occurred on New Year
day. II Il proves TO be a murder. It will
take its place at the top Of the uncanny
list which. IL things go on in Butte as
they have gone On in the past, will be a
gruesome total before next Christmas.
Butte had two murders last January.
but the record for that month was not
started as early as for this month by
eleven days. A few of the mi OF
last year escaped without a murder to
their account. but not nan OF them;
there were two Silver-Bow-county MUIR
ders in January. two In February. two
In October. There were five murders
between September 3 and December rs.
Nobody was punished with hanging.
but IL the record for the past is really
to be broken. the gallows will, for a
change. get one man next month. in ex-
piation for a brutal murder committed
nearly a year ago.
IL may be hat there are communities
OF the same size that can match silver
Bows murder record. II there are. the
Standard Is not acquainted with them.
The record gives the city Of Butte a
reputation that is detestable n one
which, by the test of good citizenship.
Butte certainly does not merit-the rec
ord is one that Is thrust most unfairly
upon the people OF the city and county.
Butte If a city where the percentage OF
good citizenship Is quite as large as In
any other thriving. hustling. growing
community. The vicious element In
Butte could be handled easily enough;
1t is this element that lnhicts a desper-
ately bad reputation on the whole city.
The shameful maladministration in
Butte's department OF Justice is the
trouble-it Is all the trouble. There has
been constant criticism because OF
Butte's failure to equip itself with a
modern-day police department. and bt
is true hat the city's police service
never will be fairly good under the
present methods. But even when the
police do excellent work. as Is the fact
i'm several recent nstances-even then,
the methods of procedure mount actu-
ally to a policy fort encouragement OF
high crimes. You may theorize about II
as you please; the essential fact simply
is that Butte will bear a bad reputation
and. in a sense. deserve it-as long as
the proposition II that the balance OF
chances is altogether against the pun
ishment OF capital criminals brought
into custody in Silver Bow county.
That is the present condition.

Big INCREASE
In the Price of Nails Cause
the Consumers to
Complain.

Consumers of nails and other light
hardware will be called upon to pay an
advanced price for such staples in the
future. A nail trust has been formed
and the prices have been doubled. Eight
penny nails which formerly retailed for
as low as $1.35 per keg will hereafter sell
at $3.50, thus advancing the price per
pound from two and one-half cents to
five cents and over. The price of spikes
is ten cents per keg less than nails, the
price on this staple having also been
advanced. The prices on brass trim
mings and wire and other articles have
been advanced quite as much as the pri-
ces on nails and the rate per pound is
comparatively higher The local dealers
have notified their customers of the ad-
vanced prices and there is some COM
plant by them on account of the enor-
nous increase.

AS mercury will surely destroy the

from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
