The objections to the report and ac-
counts of the receiver of the Silver Bow
Plucrioing and Electric Light Supply
company are being heard by Judge
Knowles this afternoon, w. E. Carroll
representing the receiver AMI Thomas
Morrin represer ting the creditors.
One Of the objections of the creditors
was that the receiver had failai t) turn
into the estate $3.50 alleged to be due On "a
certain contract. The receiver explain IL
that he had not been able to satisfactor
lily complete the contract until last We'd
nesday, and that the money couli now b,
collected. The objecting creditors also
made an attempt to show that the re
ceiver has in no way benefited the es-
tate and is therefore not enitled to COM
pensation for his labors. He claims that
his services are reasonably worth $100
per month, and that he has been engaged
in the work for over 80 days.

THEIR SUCCESS
AND ENDED HIS LIFE ACROSS
THE AXLE OF A
WAGON.
PAPERS SHOW HIS
NAME WAS JOHN COLLINS.
A Post-Election Celebration That Had
Fatal Termination
Today.

Just whose success he was celebrating
does not seem to be very clear. Be
that as it may, ne was found dead at
115 East Granite street this morning,
after ne had spent his time since the
election in drinking to the success of
various candidates. Even the name of
the dead man is shrouded in some doubt.
John Collins the coroner put it down,
after examining some letters found in
his pockets.
Collins, it appears, did not give very
clear account of himself when he APP
peared with some convivial companions
to make an after-election celebration
in the rear of the lot at 115 East Granite
street. Mr.. John Mccormack lives in
house on the front part OF the lot. and
ne noticed that few men were having
a jolly time among themselves in the
rear Of his house, but he took no ac-
count of the personnel Of the crowd.
Early this morning Mr.. Mccormack
was called out of his home by J. F.
Case, one of the operators of the Arctic
mine, who said there was a dead man
in the back yard. Mr.. Mccormack went
out and found the body. The neck of
the dead man was lying across the axle
of wagon, indicating that the man
might have helped to end his life by
falling on the axle so as to shut off
his breathing. The coroner was noti-
fed and the remains were removed to
Richards undertaking establishment,
where an inquest will be held.
During the early morning it was ex-
pected that some one who had known
the dead man would appear at the un-
dertaking rooms to identify the remains,
but no one came. A few strangers came
to see the body, but paused only a mo-
ment to gaze upon the face of the un-
identified. Found dead.' That was
about all the information any one had
to give concerning the death Of the
man. A week ago some politician might
have taken an interest in the man in
order to secure his vote. Now the cleo
ton is over and the men who few
days ago were looking for voters are
too busy to take any deep interest in
man who died out of doors while in
dulging in a debauch. There is no dis
cussion as to whether he voted for Nc
Kinley or Bryan; as to whether he was
celebrating because the republicans won
nationally, or because the fustonists
We're the victors here. He is set down
among the unknown. or rather, the un-
identified and no one -but public Of
fetal who Is paid to care for the re-
mains will bother about him.

ONLY A LACE CURTAIN.
A Slight Blaze That Interfered With
Tom Lavell's Slumbers.

Shortly before o'clock this morning a
pedestrian saw an immense blaze in one
OF the windows of Tom Lavelrs home at
Park and Idaho streets and rushed fran
tically to the nearest fire alarm box and
sent in call for the department.. Upon
the arrival of the department Chief San
ger entered the house and found the gem

bed. In answer to inquiries Mr.. Lavell

GARSIDE'S DEATH.
Coroner's Jury Decides That It Was

An inquest was held over the remains
of Thomas Garside in Duggan's under

suited from heart failure.
Before testifying, James Bergman

Corsets are always straight in front

are cut so as only to curve in the back
and over the hips. 1t is impossible to
be we'll dressed without corset of this
shape, as the prettiest dress will look

though several years old and cOuntri-
fed. though so many second class stay
makers still continue the cut from
force OF routine, says the New York
Telegram.
1t is the cut, as every one knows. that
constitutes the elegance of a corset. 1t
is better to have a plain coutil corset
made TO measure by a good staymaker
than satin corset bought ready made.
Moreover, satin is no longer the ma
teriaI most used for pretty corsets.
They are more frequently made of silk
and thread cambria and lined with
faiIle, which is infinitely more supple;
lighter cambria is sometimes plain,
sometimes embroidered with small pat
terms.

You can also wear, with white che
