Successful Bazaar.

The bazaar held in the opera house
Dec, and 2, by the Ladies Guild of
the Episcopal church, was well patron
lied and the proceeds amounted to
more than a hundred dollars. 1t is
understood that this sum of money,
added to other amounts that will be
received for the purpose will clear the
ineumbrance from the Episcopal Rec
tory and leave the church and rectOry
clear out of debt. The Ladies Guild
have way of going after things in
practical way that always wins out and
this last success is only another ex-
ample of how they do things. There
were two booths in the bazaar that
attracted much attention. The Gypsy
fortune tellers, Mrs. E. T. Barton and
Miss Amy Starr were elaborately dress
ed IN costume that was appropriate
and srtistic. and Mrs Rush Hsddoek
and Miss Hazel Fowler who presided
over the japanese tea booth We're also
dressed in costume that was delight
to all who saw them.

Big Money Maker
ShOshone'S First Factory
Proving a Financial
Bonanza

The price Of Sage Brush Tonic stock
Is now at par, $l.00 share.
Those who bought stock under the
Introductory price of so cents share,
have had their money doubled over
night. And more than doubled, too;
for the price is going higher shortly;
it may go to several times its par val
lie, within the next year or two, at the
rate the business is now growing.
The factory is swamped with orders;
these are coming in by the thousands
of dollars worth. and the field has
hardly been touched Indeed, the com
pany has canvassed for nothing but the
BARRIERS and barber supply houses, not
touching the general retail or whole
sale drug trade, or the public demand.
It is most gratifying indication Of
local foresight and enterpri. e, Il at
practically all the stock of ths com
pany is held by local buyers. Hardly
share has been sold outside of Sho-
shone. What has been disposed of, is
scattered around town among a large
number of investors, all of whom take
town interest as we'll as direct
financial interest in the company sue
cess. There is perhaps no other enter
prise in the state which is so truly a
local, public institution.
And there is sure nothing else that
is making such business success.

Badly Beaten.

One of the most brutal and hend-
ish things we have heard of in years
occurred down in Number Twelve
District last week at G. W. Squires'
old mill site. An old man named
Baugus lives in one of the old mill
houses and there lives with him his
son of some 20 or 81 and daugh-
ter, a widow some 80 years who has
four children. 1t is currently re-
ported that Baugus, Sr., and Bau-
gus, Jr., have been beating the
women, their daughter and sister.
The poor woman was beaten into
her bed and she sent for DR.. Doran
who examined her wounds d
found her a mass of bruises from
hips to shoulders-both before and
behind. 1t is freely predicted that
the Night Riders will visit this fam
lily and it may have happened be-

abled to keep an engagement to sail for
Europe on the steamship Kaiserin Au-

when it was found that there would be

between the arrival of her train at Jer-

from Hoboken. some distance away.
Under ordinary conditions it would be
possible to make the distance between

chance of the train being a little late.
and wired ahead request that the steam

informed that this could not be done, as
the mail carrying contracts made prompt
sailing mandatory. She was told, how
ever, that a fast tug would be in waiting
for her at Jersey City and that she and
her baggage would be taken on board i'm
mediately upon arrival of the train and
she would be transferred to the ship in
the bay if possible.
Fortunately. the train came in promptly
on time. and a few minutes later Mrs.

up the river for Hoboken. She arrived
in time to climb aboard the Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria just before the big ship
dropped out into the river and started on

FORCE ITALIAN LABORERS TO
HAND OVER MORE THAN $500.

FORT PLAIN, n. Y, June 1S.-Ten
Italian laborers who lived in car on a
siding of the West Shore railroad here
were held up by armed robbers at mid
night and forced to hand over more than
$500. which they had received in wages
yesterday.
One of the Italians. who resisted. was
probably fatally wounded, and an outsider
who heard the tumult in the car and sought
to frighten the robbers away was over
powered. bound, gagged and his pockets
rifed. The robbers escaped with their
booty, leaving behind not clue by which
they could be traced.
The Italians had no opportunity to place
the money in bank yesterday, and SO Sc
creted it in the car when they retired last
night. About midnight the robbers forced
an entrance, and when the Italians aWoke
they found themselves covered with four
revolvers in the hands of two men, while
d third man, armed with knife, ordered
them to come forward one by one and
turn over all their money to him.
Everything went smoothly and the heap
of banknotes and silver at the robbers
feet was growing to formidable proper

A moment later the unfortunate man lay
dying on the floor of the car with knife
wound half way through his body. From

had been attracted by the commotion
sought to frighten the robbers away by
hurling stones at the car, they took time

everything of value in sight. Then they
turned their attention to the foreman
