 tion of the kid-Darwin outdone.
 We often say word or so about the Il. ]. & l. $50 Shoe Special tell you that it's not so good as a 500 shoe, but that it is as good as any shoe that sells for less than 500.
 We don't handle line of 400 shoes, for in every respect it's the equal of any shoe made by the manufacturer that sells at 400 We've told you this time and again, and so mpressed you with the fact (and you have tested and proved iD, that there is very large sale of the II. ], & L. 3.5o Shoe Special both for women and men But we said very little of how we came to have this Especial" shoe made for us, and because it is an interesting story and may be the means of introducing the shoe to thousands of other people, we here tell of few facts connected with it's man. ufacture.
 The history of this shoe dates back a couple of years. * The Shoe Department was doing little business just about three years ago, and when different methods of increasing the sale in the shoe section was considered our shoe buyer offered the suggestion (after all others had been rejected as not possessing distinctive meriD that we write to two or three of the best shoe manufacturers we knew of and get them to duplicate just so far as they possibly could 500 shoe of which we were having tolerably good success The suggestion was to buy the shoes in great quantities so as to minimize the cost of manufacture, and get the maximum of quality and style. The idea was to go further than this; 1t was to sell the shoe at very nearly what 1t cost us. That was the germ of the whole thing. It was to advertise the shoe section And it has advertised it as nothing else in the world could have done Today we sell so many more 3. 50 shoes than we did two years ago that we are able to put even more quality and style in 1t, and without in the least affecting the price to you. It's still the, "L J. & L. $50 Shoe Special '-so far as the price Is concerned. In other respects 1t is altogether different shoe Finer leath- CT, and in all the good kinds. Better styles, and all the new lasts. All this applies especially to the womans "35o shoe spe- cial, for that was the original "3.5o shoe special p'-but what is true of the womans "35o shoe special holds good for the mems "35o shoe special '-both are equal to any 400 shoe we know of.
 And then as if this stating of facts were not strong enough, we finish the argument by telling you that the shoes go to you on a guarantee. *

About Carpets and
 Furniture.

In August of each year we advertise the superiority of our Carpet and Furniture De- Partments so emphatcally that it practically requires little advertising the remainder of the year. During August we proved that we sell for less than any other store we know of. better and higher grade Furniture and Carpets
 August, 1902, we demonstrated this fact so thoroughly that this August we sold SO per cent. more than we did the previous year, and 100 per cent. more than we did a year before that. We made it clear to a great many minds that we had a better variety of furniture and carpets here than they could get anywhere else in the Southland that they could buy cheaper The claim isn't hollow one-the 'why'' is logical-we say, that because we buy so much more furni- ture we are consequently able to buy cheap CT, and for the same reason we are able to get best selection of styles. Just how big stock we have we want everyone who has not bought carpets and furniture here, to come to Us. What may be seen in furniture follows:
 hundred Bed Room Suits from 2O.OO to 10000
 Ninetyive Dining Room Suits $500 to 100000
 Fifty Library Suits from $500 to 650.0O
 Fifty Pahor Suits from 1850 to 75O.OO

He was tried at the December term of the district court and the jury in the case were unable to agree At this trial he was defended by W. P Miller.
 During the June term of this year, the case again came up and friends of Edwards in Clifton hired H. F. Taylor of Douglas to defend him. and the jury brought in verdict of guilty, fix ing the penalty at life imprisonment After the trial Edwards sent for Miller and employed him to appeal the case which has now been done The evi- dence in the case is entirely circum- stantial, but of such a nature and so closely connected that it would easily convince the average juror of his guilt.
 The regular quarterly examination of teachers for territorial certificates is being held by Superintendent Wal lace today in the court room. There are eight applicants. as follows: Miss Emma Hemphill of Dragoon, Miss De Esta Cook of Tombstone, Miss Julia Riley of Bisbee; Miss Fife Mabry of Bisbee. Mrs. M E. Carol of Silver Creek.

Tombstone, Naco and Douglas

and the parade covered over seven blocks in length. The different or. ganizations were loudly cheered as they passed the different corners by their friends. After the procession had returned to the Library hall, Chairman Samuel Yarnell of Colo. rado Springs Carpenters union intro duced the several speakers of the day. Prefacing his introduction, MT. Tar. nell said that the several contractors and the company which was doing so much for Douglas had granted the men eight hours and $4 day for the carpenters before a union had ever been organized in Douglas, which was something unprecedented in the Unit. cd States, and that the laboring man had been treated very kindly and his rights recognized by the company here. His remarks were frequently interrupted by applause.
 N. E. McNeil. an attorney of Doug. las, late of Spokane, Wash. followed MT. Yarnell and gave some good sound arguments why the laboring man should have his organization. and also that congress did a wise thing when it set aside day in which the labor. ing man should celebrate and call his own. MT. McNeill then spoke of the young man who has been working hard for the cause of labor, who has his three large newspapers filled to their full capacity in fighting for the cause of labor William R. Hearst.
 Rev. J. M. McComb followed with a short talk and the exercises of the day were over.
 The different stores were closed part of the day in order to give their clerks an opportunity to participate in the parade.
 Charles Fettery. of Helvetia lodge, Western Federation of Miners. was the representative of the Miners union and walked in the parade with god grace.
 The grand ball given by the labor organizations at g o'clock was largely attended and closed the first Labor Day celebration in Douglas. which was a grand success in every part.

His constitution was run down
At least that's what he said
His legs were swelled each morning,
And he often had swelled head.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky,
And IL they didn't fuse
He blamed it to dyspepsia
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he couldn't sleep at nights,
And he always had bad dreams;
He claimed he always laid awake
Till easily sunrise beams.
He thought it was malaria
Alas, twas but ruce-
He blamed il unto everything
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping,
And his kidneys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters,
Till at last he cleaned them out.
His legs were swelled with dropsy,
Till he had to cut his shoes;
He blamed It to the doctors
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he bad the tremens,
And he tackled rats and snakes.
FRS he had the fever,
And then he had the shakes.
At last he had funeral,
And the mourners had the blues,
And the epitnph they carved for him was
"He never blamed the booze"

A NOVEL LYNCHINO CURE.

A Western editor has discovered
what he regards rs Il sure cure for
the lynching habit, aud he gives it
to II b,eatbless world free of charge.
lie says the moment the mob starts
ont to lynch a criminal the sheriff
should instruct photographer to
accompany the crowd with his
ctnera and take picture of the
scene al the most interesting period
Of the mob's works This picture.
H. SAYS, will show the faces of the
leaders Of the Iynchiug party, the
way the victim was put to death,
and could be used as damniug
evidence in court. The idea is
simply beautiful, and it is strange,
indeed, that nobody thought of it
before. We can easily imagine an
infuriated mob dragging its victim
to persimmom tree, and the Pho
tographsr with his camera and
tripod following closely at their
heels
We can see him getting a focus on
thegronp as the victim at the end ofa
rope, rises slowly in the air. We
can see the leaders Of the mob and
the mob itself pause in their grew
some work present "three-quarter
front" "assume a graceful pose and
then "iook pleasant After te
picture has been taken, what then7
We hear an OminOus murmuring
among the mob, which finally
bursts into II blood -curdling roar
aud then II furious tush We see
twenty or more men jumping on
htcamera with heavy boots, ,cursing,
bowling and ravlng like wild beasts.
When the awful din has subside
and the dust raised by huroying
feet has been borne away by the
geutle breeze we can distinctly see
The body of the photographer
swinging like twin pendulum
alongside that Of the first victim,
the idea of the Western editor is
as novel as it is interesting. We
know of nothing that would do
more to encourage double lynching
and reduce the supply of rural
photographers. IN. O. States.
