rHE l. B. MuLLINGs Co.

An umbrella is always a practical gift. It is handsome and serviceable and will last for years and always re- mind the receiver of the donor. Just as long as umbrellas are Host, strayed Tor stolen" just so long will there be a EIdemand for them and just so long will the supply meet the demand. The. J. B. Mullings Co presents complete variety of the above mentioned ar ticle of the most elaborate and new styles. On the other hand if the friend to whom the present Is given is fond of travelling, a bag is most necessary gife. A nice leather made bag confers an air of importance on the person which no amount of fine toggery and a poor bag would ever give. If contemplating the buying of such an article it would not be amiss to visit J. B. Mullings' store. It is d case of bags to the right of you, bags to the left of you, bags in front of you and bags behind you-they seem to defy you to say one looks better than another. Among those present. are Women's English Pig skin Morocco Bags, silk lined and hand sewed: Mems Black Seal Bags; Mems Leather Hat Cases: Dress Slut Gases of cowhide, seal and walrus; and Bags of alligator, sea-lion, grain ed cowhide, calf and hogskin, ranging in price from $2.75 to 100.

GRARER,s BIRD sroRE.

The winter is so dreary and such a contrast to the beautiful summer weather that any reminder of the lat ter brings joy to person when tlir SHOW is covering the ground During the warm weather how pleasant it is to awake and hear the birds singing in the trees outside your window. The same pleasure awaits one even during this weather, providing he purchases one of those singing birds which Frank Graber, who keeps his store on South Main street is noted for. Mir Graber has fine line of songsters and at this season of the year one would make valuable addition to any home. Anything in the bird line is purchasable at Graber's and any iil- formation that is desired about the feathered tribe can be obtained at this store as the owner Is an authority on such matters and will gladly extend his knowledge to others who are in- terested in the study of birds. What makes ones work easier during the day than to have a pretty canary warbling out beautiful songs in his home. It makes a woman. who other wise would be disagreeable doing her bousework. feel that life Is worth liv- ing. The bird greets every member of the family with a welcoming tune and the sense of peace and happiness is visible throughout the home. Visit the store and see the number of birds on hand.

KING DODGE.

If one gives present which ex- presses sentiment only he has made a poor selection, as it expresses only half it's purpose. Let the gift be marked with true elegance and quality, and, foremost of all, let it be useful. Speak ing about practical gifts turns one's attention almost immediately to foot wear. Now a person thinks that as Christmas comes only once year, II might just as well get first-class arti- cle so long as I am buying at all.' To get shoe, slipper, boot or whatever it may be that fulfills his taste both in fit. style and wearing material, he will visit a store whose stock contains all the fashionable forms and which has the reputation of being one of the lead ing firms of the city in that line. A person looking after such store would not have to travel far from the center, as few steps from Exchange place would land him in the palace of shoes" owned by H. G. Dodge, on South Main street. Dodge, the Shoe King, as he is now called has a line that is certainly hard to beat. His stock has both quality and quantity and one can find just what he wants and pay the least for it, quality con sidered. With such an infinite variety and extensive stock, with bevy of patient clerks to suit the most exact ing. Dodge should do record-breaking business during the holidays.

sPEARO CLOTHING, co.

If time or money is any coHsidera- tion in buying ones winter clothing
 the Spearo Clothing company deserves consideration. The full stock which this concern carries means quick and accurate fitting. The quality of their fabrics and the style of their clothing is the kind that insure satisfaction
 Their $15 overcoat can't be duplicated in the city for $20; if one thinks so let him investigate and be convinced. It is now getting so that the manner in which a suit fits a person is con sidered more than the material in the garment. Therefore some dealers have bought goods which are almost a per feet fit but in so doing have sacrificed the quality of the clothing. Because of the amount of clothing which the Spearo company buys, it is able to get it much more cheaply than smaller concerns, consequently their customers are benefited and receive both quality and suitable fit. If one has not the ready cash it should not deter him from getting logged out for the holi- days. The Spearo house will give him credit and allow him to pay a small amount weekly. No matter who ohe is, If he has the appearance of an hon est person, he is given the glad hand by this concern. Everything in the clothing line Is to be found at the store on South Main street and Christmas shoppers are welcome. x

As his store in the center, so are all the others, and you will find fhem ill the eastern, northern, western and southern sections of the city. His win dows are now stocked with all the nice sweetmeats which delight the eyes of the children, who always persuade their mothers to go in and purchase a pound or two of Kelly's celebrated candy.

Special to THE CALDWELL TR1B-
UNE).-A most heartrending acci-

and Mrs. George Ellis, 12 miles

two little children were playing in
the kitchen, when the older of the
two accidentally pushed the smaller,
babe of a few weeks old, against
the stove. The little ones clothes
caught fire and before anything
could be done was so badly burned
that death ended its suffering with
in a couple of hours. Mrs. Ellis
was out of the room at the time,
bat hearing the screams of the chill
dren fastened back. It was too
late to do any good. The child
was wrapt in flames.

COURSE OF LECTURES.
will Be Rare Treat-Deserves
Handsome Patronage.

A town of schools should have a
good course of lectures and concerts.
People coming from the East say
that they miss the lectures and CON
certs and do not see how we old
! sage brushers can endure being so
behind the times.
So to meet the supposed demand
we have signed up an iron-clad con-
tract with the Ridpath Lyceum Bu-
reau of Chicago for two lectures
and two concerts agreeing to pay
them $3o5 for the four entertain
ments. The Redpath Co, is the
Oldest and one of the best known
institutions of the kind in the Uni
ted States and always sends out
first class talent.
The season tickets sell for $2 to
the general public and single ad-
mission IS cents. To all students
in Our public schools the season
tickets are 81 and single admission.
Is cents.
We want to make this enterprise
a success and to have something of
the same nature every year. There
ought to be at least one lecture low
ing community in south Idaho out
side of Boise. We hope to come
out even in the matter of money,
and should there be any money
over it will be expended on the
grounds and buildings of the Col
lege of Idaho
That the patrons of this course
may have the best appointments
and comforts the city affords we
propose to give these entertainments
in the city opera house, provided
we can sell enough season tickets
to see our way clear financially, and
we can arrange dates with the gen
ial manager of that institution.
The first number in the course
will be lecture on Thursday even
ing Jan. 10, by Mr.. F. P. Jolly.

TO DIVIDE DISTRICT.
Richards Introduces the Measure
Business too Much for
One JUDGE.

Hon. J. H Richards of Ada
county introduced a petition to the
legislature from the Canyon county
bar, asking that the Third Judicial
District be divided. The petition
says that the business of the dis
trict has become so great that it is
no longer possible for one judge to
properly handle it. Frequently
people are arrested and being un-
able to furnish bail are held for
several months and set free on
trial. In fact holding court only
twice year works a hardship on
all litigants. The petition suggests
that Ada and Boise counties be
made one district and Canyon,
Owyhee and Washington be made
another. The petition was signed
by every member of the Canyon
county bar. Later Ju1ge Richards
introduced house bill No. 6 which
carries out the idea of the petition.
1t will undoubtedly be passed at an
early date.
