& WASHINGTON, ID. c., February IT,
Mr.. James u. Clements, Of Alexandria
county. former superintendent of schools
Of that county, has Instituted suit for
10000 damages against Frank Lyons ed
itor Of tho Alexandria County monitor.
Mr.. Clements, who. has extensive inter-
,.sts in this city and spends much time
here. said to-day that the case would be
one of the most hotly contested and
much litigatcd' in the recent history OF
the State. 1t IL understood that each
side is confident that 1t will finally reach
the Supreme Court of Appeals.
There is lots of politics In the case.
'ilie trouble between tho two men orig
mated more than Il year ago. The dam
ages are asked because of alleged inju-
ries received by Mr.. Clements mt the
lunds Of Mr.. Lyons in personal en-
counter in the office of the latter over
II year ago. The bill alleges that the
p,aintiff was permanently injured by rea-
son OF blows about the head ut the base
OF the brain. The bin alleges that the
mind memory and health of the plaintiff
were seriously affected by the blows adj
inlnstered by the defendant.
Lyons and Clements have been politl-
cal opponents for years. it seems that
something more than u year ago Mr..
Lyons. in an article In his paper, used
the expression IAN inferior breed of
dogs" applying 1t to certain people IN
Alexandria county. Mr.. Clements crti-
cised this expression quite freely. Some
days afterwards, he says he was invited
by Mr. Lyons to como into his Office In
the courthouse, and that when he did 80
was attacked.
Mr.. Clements and Mr. Lyons engaged
III personal encounter, which lasted
Hdme time. In the course Of which the
former fired two or three shots, without
lnjuring his antagonist. Mr.. Clements
says he does not habltualiy carry Il
weapon, but Happened to liav cone in his
pocket on this occasion. as he had had
10 cross the bridge from Washington
the night previous with II considerable
sum of money on his person.
A warrant for the arrest of Mr..
Clements WAS issued soon after the en-
counter. and two policemen of this city,
md the CommoffweaIths attorney OF
Alexandria county. remained before his
Office until a late hour ut night waiting
for him 10 come out to arrest him. The
officers were finally taken away by or
der OF the district attorney of this city.
Mr.. Clements had II preliminary hear
ing the following day. hut was not held.
The case Is attracting much attention
In Alexandria county. and in this city.
where both plaintiff and defendant are
well known. 1t viii come up at the April
term of the Circuit Court IN Alexandria.

Dear Sirs: Why. do you think. can Do
voc sell pure paint as low as others sell
adulterated paint?
There are 80 or 40 or so different
makers OF paint that rank, in way as
''frst-class;" they have their regions,
ones region is large, another's Is small:
everyone is first-lass" in Its region.
or these 80 or 40 or 80, one Is best. an
Other next and 50 on down: but the
prices are all the same or about the sania
You can buy one for less than another
though; personal matter sometimes.
But how, do you think, can Deyoe sell
the best for no mora than the rest? The
answer is: 1t costs less to sell II; more to-
make, less 10 sell. Reputation helps sell
1t. It's 100 years help sell 1t.

growers organization.
The work of the organization, Mr.. Ew-
ing declared should go on year utter
