R e a djust tm m t Conditions Force Hyder to Sell at
 Big Discount

It was after a great deal of care- fuI consideration and thought that I placed my advertisement in this mornings paper.
 I must confess--I guessed wrong on the readjustment period. studied conditions carefully, talked with men who were familiar with conditions and after sitting all the ideas gathered it was my conclusion that the readjustment period would not force prices crashing for some months. In fact it looked like only slight discounts would be made dur ing the winter Now I find that there has been a sudden turn of events and merchants are forced to dispose of their stocks.
 This does not effect the clothing business alone-it hits every line to dispose of our stocks at figures which knock the profit out of the business.
 Even though I felt in my heart that the low price period was not coming for some time l said to my self when it comes, I'll cut my prices down to bedrock. " It's here and my prices are cut. I am laying my cards straight up on the table, my merchandise is all marked in plain figures-you can see the ex- traordinary reductions for yourself. I am keeping nothing from you. I firmly believe that the market has broken in all lines. I am selling my merchandise at the new market price-a price which is as low as \ any you will see for some time. \ My goods are being sold at prices ' which will astound you--some at cost and a lot at less than cost.
 Some people have been waiting, \ waiting and then waiting a little longer, hoping that prices would come down within their reach be-
 fore they invested in new clothing.
 Now-it doesn't always pay to wait
 too long. Clothing is down at \ Hyder's. winter is here and good
 clothing is necessary. My stock IS made up of high class quality
 merchandise and my prices are \ within everyone's reach.
 All ] ask is that you come in and
 pay US a visit-it costs you nothing
 to look things over and remember you are always assured of the
 Hyder service and courtesy.

 After three ballots it was agrsSA that the state should meet the elafrnsefn the amount of s75O which was held as fair compensation to the attorneys for their work in connection with the inyestiga- tion
 Governor Campbell voted against the Bullard@elaim on the ground that Mir Bullard was engaged by MT. Moeur as his private counsel and as such should receive his fee from the commissioner. Jesse Boyce, state auditor, shared the governors view and voted mo- to the Bullard playment which was reduced to $750 froh s1.000 on the motion of Attor- ney General Jones.
 H. s. Ross, state treasurer voted against the payment of Struckmeyer on the ground that although he was en- ployed by the state land department as it's counsel he had failed to represent him as a member of the department
 Mir. Boyce vited against reducing the Struckmeyer claim, insisting that he should have been paid in the original amount of $1,000. Governor Campbell, ] Secretary of State Simms and Attorns-- 1 General Jones were in favor of the Struckmeyer claim, according to the vote. while the Bullard claim will be met by the majority vote of Ross, Jones and Simms.

The inventor of the drop harness for fire department horses is Edward O'Sullivan, a San Francisco fireman, who still lives in the coast city. It was all because engine No. II of the San Francisco fire department had a horse that wouldn't lie down in his harness and sleep at nights, as any we'll regu- lated fire horse was required to do, that the invention was inspired. It was a good horse, and there was no one but O'Sullivan who had a theory as to what might be done.
 O'Sullivans theory was one concern ing a set of harness that could be sus- pended from the ceiling all ready to drop in place upon the horses back at the first peal of the alarm. It took him four years 10 work the scheme out to perfection, and when it was all finished, with patent granted. the horse still re- fused to lie downi It was a horse that preferred to sleep standing up.
 OSullivan then started on a tour of the United States, seeking to install the harness in the fire departments of the big cities. It was during period of financial unrest, and because of insuf- ficient backing, the veteran fireman was finally forced to dispose of his patent for a pittance to an Eastern manufacturing firm.-From the Detroit News.

 Self Defense Was Plea
 At the trial Ava Patterson put up a plea of elf-defense and stated that his father had attacked him with a paper weight and he fired because he feared for his life. Members of his family recited many instances in which the father had threatened the life of his son.
 Patterson was not held in custody following the verdict of the jury yes terday, but was released to return on Friday morning. The s5000 bond un- der which he has been at liberty for nearly year was continued hy Judge Stanford until the time of passing of sentence.
