warden, who is a very kindly and con-
siderate man, and inasmuch as the Of

men were admitted after very extra pre-

shaved before they were admitted Sher-

great disappointment to Mr. Schad, who
had gone up purposely to inspect the pen

Sheriff Simmons said the prisoners act

to have no i'll will towards any one cos

BAYMAN IS DEAD
His Second Attempt atSuicide
Proved Successful
TOOKETHER AND MORPHINE
Left Letters for Wife, Coro-

TOOK ETHER AND MORPHINE

]. c. Bayman, the man who attempted
suicide in the presence Of his wife near
Sedgwick City a week ago, and was re-
suscitated at the Wichita Hospital, made
a successful effort yesterday, and his
body now lies at Dunbar's undertaking
rooms on North Main street. Bayman
was found dead in a room at Vallance's
restaurant at Valley Center at u o'clock
yesterday. He had engaged a room there
the night before and those who saw him
say he was apparently in the best Of
spirits when he came to the hotel The
rooming apartments are in a separate
building from the restaurant proper and
no one had noticed that Bayman had not
awakened until about noon. Upon going
to his room his door was found locked.
It was burst open and the body of Bay
man, cold in death, was stretched at fun
length upon the bed. Beside him was
letter 10 the coroner of Sedgwick county,
and copy of the Eagle with the aTti
Gle referring to Baymans former attempt
at suicide marked. The letter TO the cor
oner referred to this article and con-
tanned a full statement of the cause and
manner of death. Another note was
found which directed that mis- wife, Mrs.
Ada Bayman. who was then with her
sister at Bentley, be notified Of his death.
Another note was found among the pa
pers in his room which reflected severely
on a. X. Hagitt, the popular and we'll
known farmer for whom Mrs. Bayman
had been keeping house. Another lengthy
letter addressed to his wife at Bentley
was also among the papers in his pocket.
1t was written in the most endearing
terms. but referred often to the wrongs
that had been done him by her relatives,
and while he censured his. wife for a
great many things he pitied her and said
that under proper conditions she was d
good and true woman. The letter closed

You know that this Good Cloth
ing Store is a trustworthy store,
safe store, store where the littlest
boy can buy as cheap as the largest
man, and that we sell none but de-
pendable merchandise. And you
know that if you find any cause for
dissatisfaction in the garments you
buy from lis you can return them
and get back the full amount of
money you paid for them without
question if you want it.
Now, then, admitting that the
above is true, we assert without fear
of successful contradiction that our
regular plain=figure prices are less
than those usually asked by other
clothiers for similar garments of
equal value. To be sure, once in
while some of them will sell an
article at a loss, lust to beat the
Good Clothing Stores prices" but
the OnCe=in-a=Wl1iies are few and far
between.
And now, today, while our

Sale is in progress, we've hammered
down the prices on all Winter wear
ables for men and boys far below
our regular low priCes-=-some a
fourth lower, some third lower,

a half lower.

prove the truth of our assertion,

treated and you will not be urged
