Of The Home Of Good Clothes
Great Success
1hrongs Of People Visit Milt.
Lewis New Establishment

The opening Of The Home OF Good
Clothes, Milton s. Lewis, proprietor
occurred Saturday and the new store
was thronged with visitors all day anx-
ious to see the wonderful improve
ments made since the building was
destroyed by fire last December. The
store had on It's gala dress for the oc-
casion and throughout was picture
of modelness and completeness.
Under the new arrangement the es-
tablishment occupies floor space Of
about three thousand feet, being much
larger than 1t formerly was, and the
ceilings have been elevated admitting
of more light throughout. The new
front is one designed after those of
clothing stores in large cities and Is
especially adapted to the dressing Of
clothing store windows. New furni-
ture has been installed throughout, all
finished in beautiful golden oak. 1t
is also strictly modern in every re-

immense stock with the use OF very lit
tie floor space.
The south front department is used
for hats exclusively and forty-foot
case with ball-bearing sliding doors Is
placed along the wall The north front
department is used for furnishing
goods and at the rear of this depart
ment the office is situated, which Is
separated from the store by massive
golden oak railing. At this point the
store is widened several feet and a
center department Is added, the south
side of which is devoted to children's
clothing and the north side to under
wear and trousers. Overcoats, crav-
enettes and raincoats are found In the
south rear department and on the
north side is situated the clothing de-
partment. The cabinet for the cloth
ing In this department Is the very
latest manufactured by the Grand Rap
ids Show Case company and has the
disappearing doors, also the locking
trolleys. In the rear Of the room is
situated the dressing room, toilet room
and ware room.
The second floor department is
reached by an open stairway, situated
about half way back in the store,
which is especially designed with low
risers, making the assent possible
with very little exertion. In this de-
partment trunks, suit cases and trav-
elers' equipment are kept.
The store as whole is one hard to
surpass and was equipped at an enor'
nous expense by Mr.. Lewis with the
idea of giving to the people mod
ern clothing establishment in every
respect-one in which they could pur
chase with ease and every conven
ience, and this degree of perfection has
been reached.
During the opening carnations Were
given as souvenirs to all the ladies at
tending and music was furnished aft
| ernoon and evening by the Moose or

CANDIDATES
For The HiaWatha Ball Team
Out For Practice

On Sunday afternoon a large num-
Der of candidates for the Hiawatha
baseball team reported for practice.
The outlook is excellent for fast
team and unusual interest is being
taken by all of the candidates. Wuch-
ner will probably be behind the bat.
Already the management has had
some experience with men who like
to be coaxed and who are continually
holding out. These men are a great
detriment to any organization and lit
tie bother will be taken with them
this year. There are sufficient cap
able candidates for each position and
the men who like to be coaxed will
perhaps meet with disappointment.

by

The "change of life " is most
critical period in woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is in de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period m life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkhanl's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
Ithas carried many women safely
through this crisis.

BUNKER HILE
 IS IN RICH ORE

(Continued from page 1) ueS, the gold being so plcntifully sprinkled through the ore as to be freely visible by the light of the candles used in the tunnel.
 Sixteen feet of tunnel had al- ready been run in on the vein, which was about IS inches in width, and it was expected that the rich pay shoot exposed in the crOppings about 100 feet above on the hill would not be cut with in 50 or 60 feet at the least. The strike therefore comes as a sur prise both to the contractors, who were the locators of the property, and who still retain an interest in it, and the officers of the com Dany.
 The vein has widened to fully two feet, and the quartz is ap- parcntly very rich. Whalen is en- thusiastic over the strike, as are the members of the company, which recently took over the property, and party will be sent down within a day or two to cx- anime the property and make an official report of the value of the strike.

uNDEVELoPED POWER.


 above all other things a mining territory, it would be logical to base the expectation that, aside from the chief business of eX- tracing precious metals from the carth's crust, the people of the territory would concern them selves principally with the bet torment of mining conditions; the leading topic of discussion should be the Improvement of the min ing laws; the most prominent ad- NcrliSing should be the figures of the mineral output of the terri tory, week by week, or month by month. Yet, except in the coal fields, these practical topics seem lo be subordinatcd to political matters. Questions such as home rule, of prime importance, it. is true. hut slow-lravrling, are giv- "n tn" right of way; while the emergency mining law repair train, once switched from the main line, remains on the side track indefinitely. And for ad- NcrtiSing purposes, it is easier to secure estimates of the agricul- iural possibilities of the territory than it is to secure the monthly figures of the gold output.
 One reason, probably, for such a state of affairs iS. that the practical mining man, engaged in the actual work of mining, have not the time to devote lO system attic study of the laws and con- ditions; they are poorly located for comparison of experiences and for organization. The 0rganiza- lions are made up mostly of pro- fcSsiOnal and business men, whose interests and inclinatiOnS are nat political movements. It is or ganiZaliOn that dominates: all though the mining industry counts the greater part of Inc population of Alaska. it. has little influence even in political mat Lcrs. Instead of being represent ed in congress by d practical min ing man. as would be the logical thing to expect of a mining popu- lation, the miners accept inc nominee proposed by the cOm- mcrcial or inc professional class rS, and vote for him. Small won der that mining legislation is neg lccicd.
 The remedy lies in OrganiZa- tion among mining men. Not un- iii they unite in speech will they be heard, their needs recognized, and their demands fulfilled by the heads of legislation. A Good Min ing Laws league, composed en- tirely of practical and enterprise ing mining men, could help min ing conditions in Alaska further forward in one year than our pol iticians have done or will be like ly to do in a decade.

Phidelah Rice. the closing num-
Der of the course, is an impersona-
tor Of large abilities. In proof Of
this assertion it may be stated that
few men on the American platform
have been accorded a more notable
ovation than was Mr.. Rice at the
New York Chautauqua during the
summer of 1909. Mr.. Rice gave
"The Peaceful Valley" to large ev-
ening audience. Following the rem
dition, which occupied an hour-and-
a-half, he was called back twice by
the applause. Two nights later he
gave David Garrick' and at the
close the Chautauqua salute was
started in the audience and widely
taken upa most unusual ovation,
as Bishop Vincent usually starts, this
salute from the platform and it is
given but few times in an entire
season.
The Methodist ladies are paying
more for the talent for this seasons
than they have ex-H
pended heretofore for this purpose,
and the course will be the strongest
and highest class yet put on by them
for the entertainment of the people
of this city. The attractions above
enumerated can be heartily recon-
mended as deserving Of the public
patronage.
It is expected to give the first two
numbers on the coming course in
the armory and the balance in the
new Methodist church.
The price of season tickets will
be $3.50. Students tickets 81. A
charge of 10 cents extra will be
made for those who desire reserved
seats. The ladies in charge expect
to begin their canvass for the sale
Of tickets next week.
