Mems TWo=Piece
Summer Suits.

The two-piece Skeleton" Suit is
remarkably comfortable hot
weather costume. If one uses care
and judgment in making his pur-
chase it can be kept as fresh and
crisp in appearance as when first
bought.
The suits constructed for us are
made with special view to securing
permanence of shape, the cloth
being composed of carefully selected
materials, woven SO as to give the
maximum of frmness and yet be
thin and cool. We can promise an
unlooked-for amount of satisfaction
with these suits.
A perfect fit is guaranteed. Col
lars are deep and hug the neck
snugly. Sleeves and shoulders are
properly cut, while hip and leg
measurements will be found correct.
The materials are wool crash, home
spuns, serges and cassimeres the
patterns are very neat, in the new
est styles.
Prices, So, $40, $I2.5o, SIS, $40.

was examined by a marshars jury yes
terday as to his sanity. Birrer came here

Horse Creek seinx Settled Up.

The Horse Creek country is be
ing settled up with great rapidity,
and if our la unta merchants
make some effort in that direction
there might be something doing
for them over in that neck o. the
woods. Colorado Springs parties,
who think very favorably of the
Horse Creek country, are inter
ested in development scheme
and there will probably be a great
influx OF population there early
next year.
Tests of the undertiow for more
than a mile on each side OF the
creek show an almost inexhausti-
BILE supply OF water at an average
depth OF about seven feet, and the
pumping plants that have proven
