this year will be interested in knowing
that the popular excursion steame., the

For speed and grace nothing in river or
lake service in the entire West equals
this side-wheeled beauty. Five hours

through the famous fishing waters of the
Columbia, past scores of salmon traps,
and nets and as many white-winged fish

Railway & Navigation Company, whose
cars stand on the wharf awaiting steam

hundred yards wide at low tide and so
hard that carriage wheels scarcely leave
a mark. 1t is an ideal place for driv-
ing. riding. wheeling or walking, and
the surf bathing is unsurpassable- The

Riverside, CAL, June 2-Fischer,
the young degenerate who killed
his wife here in April by choking
her into insensibility, chloroforming
her and then pouring gasoline over
her clothes and touching off match,
thereby hoping to destroy all trace
of the crime, has n nade full con-
fession at San Quentin, from which
place he is sentenced to be hanged
July IA. He made the awful con-
fession last night to Mrs. Coburn,
wife of Sheriff G. M. Coburn. Fisch-
ersays that the wonderful will power
of Mrs. Coburn dominating his in
it's alleged intensity has alone fore
ed him to confess.
In his admission Fischer says:

after we entered our rooms the deed
was done and she was insensible
on the floor with her clothes soak

ST seized her and threw her
across the table, and if her wrist
was broken it was done when she
struggled against me and threw
her arm back to protect herself as !

oform over her mouth. I did not
know her arm was broken, as I had
no time to examine for broken
bones, and the whole act took not
more than three minutes. She
must have broken it across the

her, I threw her on the table te

whea the matter is laid befJre the
presidesst..
The difference between Payne
and Wynns resulted, first, from
P&yoe's criticism of the first assist
ans, because the latter was too free
I0 giving out reports Of abuses and
irregularities to the press, while the
Investl CATION was in progress.
Payae believes that Wynne has al
SO encouraged some newspaper at
Gacks apan him. Wynne feels that
Payne has not stood by him as be
ssaouIl J, and is trying to prevent

veseigat;ons as far as they have
gS9s.- When the mat er is brought

he has forced both of the officials !

except the Delaware e Hudson shipping
any coal here, so that their agents, the
Howard Hardware company, are the on
~ ones furnishing hard coal, and they
not over a car or two per week. Hardly
any is delivered by the company in
larger than 200 or 500 pound lots. Large
amounts of wood are burned. During
the past week rumors have been started
that the Howard Hardware company
was selling coal to Putney parties, and
that the company was standing in the way
of other dealers receiving any hard coal
This results in the company making a
public statement defending themselves.
They say but one car was sent to Put
ney, and that in November when coal
was more plenty and 1t was supposed
there would be no further stringency.
They deny emphatically preventing 9TH
er dealers from securing coal. Much
satisfaction has been expressed hereto
fore at the way Bellows Falls has been
served with coal. Until Jan. LIST prac-
tically no coal was sold at over $500 a
ton, and since that date the price has
not exceeded $3.50 to $1,000, though the
dealers have had standing offers for all
their coal to be taken in carload lots
at a much higher figure. Verify it is
a year when the bed of the coal dealer
is not one of roses, and now after all
their efforts the dealers are maligned for
what they have not done.

Nearly One-half Price.

In this lot we have made what would
seem to be a needless sacrifice Early
In the winter our buyer bought from the
best manufacturers in Boston 600 $500
suits at one-half price. They were all
heavy weight, hand finished worsted
goods, but small lots of a kind. Some
were light color, some were dark, but
all were the best quality goods obtain
able. Our share was IT'S suits, but as
we had so many regular goods already
in stock we have not sold hardly any
of them. In the lot there are blue and
black Scotch mixtures, silk faced
cheviots, satin lined basket weaves and
many other kinds of the $500 suits.
