THE BEE HIVE.

who buys one-half page in this is

era of things on the interior of the
big store. This store has, within
the last month, undergone a com
plete transformation in such de-
gree that the old patrons hardly
know the place when they get with
in it's new arrangements and late ap-
pertnances. The shoe department
for ladies' and gentleHen is now two
balconies, on the right and left of the
main entrance from Main street on
tho second floor These balconies
mean a floor space, in addition to
the main store, of approximately six
teen hundred square feet. Here lad
les or gentlemen may be fitted to
shoes as though they were in pri-
vate parlor.
The millinery department has also
been removed from the second floor
to the main floor SO that there will
be no climbing of stairs to the mill
linery department. This is con-
sumation that will be appreciated
without doubt by buyers of mill
linery and suits. The Bee Hive says
manager Haines, will be the re-
ception room of all the ladies visit
ing in the city on Stockman's daR.

What to Print.

Apropros of the discussion of how
far newspapers should go in the re-
porting of certain classes of news
and testimony, are some remarks
made by Rev. Frank Oliver Hall Of
New York at banquet of newspaper
publishers:
Il do not believe that newspaper
need be ashamed of making public
what the public is not ashamed of
doing in private" says Mr.. Hail. In
a crowded community publicity is
the strongest possible safeguard for
public morality. In a great city the
very crowd makes eoncealment easy.
The nearer people are together the
farther they are apart. In a COM
munity where every home is sepa-
rated from another by a mile of
prairie land or forest every one
knows everything that his neighbor
does or says or thinks. But in COM
munity where families are separated
from each other only by an eight
inch brick wall they dc not know
each others names, they live and die
within arms reach and one does not
know that the othr is living and
the other does not care when one is
dead. In such community vice is
made easy. Now the greatest deter
rent to vice is not the police but
publicity. People are more afraid
of copy than they are of the cop
The fear of getting into the papers
keeps many a man out of Jail. Let

Noah Dcvorc, Milwaukee Con-
tractor Found in His Room at
Hainey Hotel With
BULLET HOLE OVER HIS HEART.
Claims Accidental shooting--.aiay
Die.

At about two O'Clock yesterday
| morning q pistol shot rang out in
the hallway Of the second floor Of
the Harvey disturbing the peaceful
slumbers OF the guests on that floor.
Upon investigation of the night clerk
and bell boys it was discovered that
the shot had been fired close about
and within the vicinity of room No.
s. The door of this room was open
and just within the doorway lay the
PROSTATE and bleeding form of Noah
DcTore, beside him lay smoking
2-s:i:':1 revolver. Dr. Jackson
IS mTaodiately called and admins
tered TO the immediate wants of an
GUaTcntlY dying man.
..ocoEding TO the testimony of the
3s!! bog ii appears that Mr. DeVore
had some time prior to two o'clock
n the morning called him TO his
Hooaa and asked for the services of
& nurse, saving that he believed he
Was going to die and seemed in
great Bodily and mental anguish
He designated lady Of the name of
Mrs. Barker, who Immediately ar
rived with another lady as assistant
nurse to attend him. They did what
they could at once and Mr.. DeVore
seemed to be Temporarily relieved.
1t is said by one of the women that
upon their departure Mr.. DeNore
called attention to a 3S-calibre re-
volver lying upon the dresser, and
said to her, you had better take
that gun away for I might kill N.Y.
self with it, The nurse took the
gun and placed it in the lower drawer
of the dresser and started down the
stairs to go home when almost i'm
mediately the pistol shot was heard.
At the woman's screams almost a
of the Harvey as a result. 1t would
appear from the Investigation Of the
room and wound that he may have
aimed at his heart, but hit wild Of
the mark about two inches, the bull
let having passed through the body
about two inches above the vital
organ, passing out below the should
er blade and lodging in the window
casing. The alleged suicide states
that the shooting was accidental, that
he got up to clean the revolver and
that it went off accidentally. There
is but little support of this theory,
however, the wounded man should
be given the benefit of the doubt
as his statement is to some extent
reasonable. He is at this time rest
ing quietly with fair hope of re-
coyery.
Noah DeVore is a member OF De
Vore Bros, railroad contractors,
who have for the past year been do
ing contract work for the Milwaukee
and were just about to close up their
grading contract between here and
Chamberlain. He said that owing
to the hard winter that all railroad
contractors have not been as sue
cessful as they might have been i'll
an ordinary winter, but it is doubted
whether this sad affair has to do
with any difficulty Of the DeVore
Bros. contractors. 1t is the opinion
of the attending physician that un-
less unforeseen complications get in
that Mr.. DeVore will ultimately re-
cover.

Necessity of Good plays.

The days Of slipshod and dilatory
drama is past and managers through
the country are recognizing the di-
rect need of thoroughness and at
tention to detail. No organization
realized this fact sooner than the
manager of Chase-Lister Theater Co.,
and using that idea with his strong
company of players they are now pre-;
senting the amusement loving public
with as good and finished repertoire
organization as you can find in the
confines of the United States. Clint
and Bessie Robbins head the list of
actors and are given support by the
remainder of the company. This att
traction is soon to appear at the
local play house and is one of the
theatrical treats of the present sea-
son. At the opera house three

CLAVERDON'S BAD LUCK.

The British ship Claverdon which ar
rived on Saturday from Kahului is
lying in the stream with the yellow
flag Of quarantine a-fiying. She will
have to be fumigated before being al
lowed to come to the wharf, owing to
an irregularity in her papers.
The Claverdon took on her cargo of
nitrate at two ports in Chile, the first
being Antifogasta. At the second port,
TO which she proceeded to complete her
loading, there was no American consul
so Capt. Thomson was unable to obtain
a consul's certificate and had to come
away without that important docu-
ment. The captain did what he con-
sidered the next best thing under the
and obtained a health
certificate from the British consul, but
this wasn't good enough for the local
quarantine officials
The vessel landed 100 long tons of
nitrate at Kahului and will discharge
1000 tons here. She is probably the
largest three-masted ship that was
ever here and has a greater cargo cap
acity than the big four-masted Sewal
boats The Claverdon can carry $500
tons of sugar, and $500, 900 feet of lunl-

OF immigration at San Francisco re
Gently reported that japanese have been
arriving there coastwise from Homo.
lulu and from Canadian ports at the
rate of from one to three thousand per
month.
sit has been explained that the rea-
son the Japanese Government has been
willing in the past to grant passports
to those japanese who start out
destined for Hawaii, Mexico and Cana
da and has been reluctant in the matter
OF giving passports direct to the Unit
ed States, was due to the fact that
conditions in the country were so at
tractlve as greatly to swell the number
of japanese immigrants
If Japan is sincere in her desire
to stop eoolie immigration to the Unit
ed States she can scarcely object to the
proposed amendment to the immigration
law, the effect OF which would be to
exclude from this country all Japa-
nese who can not present passports from
their Government. This would put
stop to the influx of japanese from
Canada, Mexico and Hawaii, and would
enable Japan to regulate the number
of her immigrants to the United
States.''

LOCATED THROUGH EARTH
QUAKE.

BOSTON, Mar. Through a cable
despatch which was sent to him by a
member of his family after the recent
earthquake, the Boston police have
located in Valparaiso, Willard S. Allen,
formerly clerk of the East Boston
Court, who absconded in August, 1908,
with $110,630 belonging to the Preach
ers' Aid Society, of which he was
treasurer, and an additional $4,000
from the Methodist Historical Society.
When the earthquake occurred AL
LENS family became alarmed and sent a
despatch to him, which was intercepted
by the Boston police.
Chief Watts has asked the State De-
partment to take action toward bring
ing Allen back.
