vorced, sl2. 600. II is said he paid the di-
vorced wife 81 900 out of this wife's
proceeds, which caused some trouble,
and IL was said TO be the cause of his
present wife applying for q divorce,
which SO worked upon Mr.. Justice that
he came home at l p. m. on the 10th,
and, without any words, shot her and

White Shirt Waists.

We have almost been. ashamed to
mention White Shirt Waists until now,
SO poor has been our assortment; to-
day we have fair line. They. are
our regular goods; first we have had
from our favorite manufacturer; prices
ST., $1.25, 81. so, $1.75, 81, $2.25, $3.50,
81. rs and 50; we may not have all sizes
in any one OF the above prices, but to-
day there is a good assortment. The
styles, qualities and prices, we claim
have no equal even in large cities.
We marked those goods at least 25
per cent. lower than large city stores.
We can do SO because our expenses are
not half and in proportion we are SELL
ing as many goods as many large city
stores. We will not give white shirt
waists on approval; we have q fitting
room and will fit them. We will be
glad to show you through the line.

THE REVISION
Of The Presbyterian Greed
Adopted Almost Unani=
monSly.

The Presbyterian Church of Ameri
ca has been disturbed for two or three
years, over the question of q revision
of its creed, the Westminster COnfes
sion of Faith. Seine have opposed re.
vision, fearing that some of the funda.
mental principles of Presbyterianism
would be tampered with. Some wish
ed q restatement of some points of the
Confession to make them more plain
Others wanted some points stricken
ont A year ago a movement was be-
gun in the General Assembly, in favor
of revision. This resulted in the ap-
pointmeut of a large committee to con-
slider the question and report to the
General Assembly of 1902. This COM
miItee was composed of leading min
isters and elders of the church, rep
resenting all phases of belief on the
question of revision.
This committee held several meetings
ing the year past, and unanimously
agreed upon q report, which was pre-
sented to the Assembly which has just
closed its sessions in New York. This
report was so admirable in its declara-
tions and phraseOlogy, that it was re-
ceived by unanimous vote, and its
oyertures were adopted and sent down
10 the Presbyteries for their adoption,
with only two dissenting votes out of
over $50. There will not, in all proba-
bility be single Presbytery vote
against any of the overtures, and when
the Assembly meets next Spring, the
work of revision will be completed.

FALSE CLAIMS
Made by the Neat Trust to JUS
tify the Advance in Meats.

In gathering testimony against the
meat trust the government has gained
important points from the Indian Bu-
reau. Contracts made for beef to sup
ply the Indian schools of the country
furnish figures that not only prove the
existence of the meat trust, but ,stab-
lish the fact that the trust is RESPONSE
bic for the advance in prices, and that
the price they pay for beef does not at
all justify the advances they have
made.
The bids for these contracts were
opened in April, and the men who got
the contracts will begin to furnish the
beef on the 1st of July.
The bids of the trust were uniformly
high, while those outside were reason
able.
Although the trust is asking butchers
10 to IL cents q pound for meat, they
offered to sell the same class of meats
to the government at an average of st
cents; while an outside bid was as low
as "a 80 hundred pounds. Beef Of
fered at these prices was dressed, with
necks, shauks and all tallow trimmed
of, while it Is cold to butchers at IL
and Il cents with neck, shanks and
tallow.
| The defense Cmade by the trust,
that the scarcity of beef makes them
pay higher prices, and therefore they
had to advance prices 10 customers, Is
shown to be false by the fact that the
government had an offer of good beef
ON the hOof. in large quantities, in Col
orsdo, at 50. 19 q hundred pounds.
The government is in q position Il
get at the facts, and it is q good thing
for the people that the government IL

ness Of trusts along all lines. Let th'
people hold up the hands of the Presi
ldent, and all wilfbe we'll.
