Bigger
Business
Than
Ever
There's a Reason For This.

There's a Reason For This.
Notwithstanding the gen.
eral depression all over the
country and the cry of poor
trade our business for the
months of September and
October were biggest in our
history. Realizing the situa-
ton, we went to the New
York market late, when all
the buyers had left. Bust
ness was rotten merch-
ants were "uanicky"; we saw
an opportunity and bought
thousands of dollars worth
of merchandise at our own
prices. We hurried them
home, marked them at just
about half former prices,
told the trading public what
we had done and the re-
sonse was great.
Now then: during the past
month there has been a
great break in the price OF
cotton, our money crop.
MANY people have up to now
not bought their winter
wearing apparel. We still
have a big stock and we are
going to stake our medi-
cine;" take our losses and
do it right now and get
through with it; hence we Of
fer this enormous reduction
to one-half price on these
Ladies' Ready-to-Wear gar
ments, and one-third off on
Mems and Boys Clothing,
Shoes and Hats. There is
no bunco game about tins.
We mean exactly what we
say-we are going to give
you an opportunity to buy
remainder of this stock of
wearing apparel at fifty
cents on the dollar, and right
now while you need it.

SCENE FROM PLAY
TO FEATURE PROGRAM.

Miss Susan Stallings, who will be
heard in repertoire Friday evening at
8 o'clock at the Community club
house, will give scene from one OF
her most delightful plays in which
she has been seen from the metro
politan stage recently. Miss Stall
iings is thoroughly acquainted with
her art, and knows how to reach the
hearts of her audiences.
Mrs. Walter Tiedeman, who will
give two groups of vocal selections,
has a voice of exquisite resonance,
which has had years of careful and
educated training, secured UNDER
masters in the Boston Conservatory
Americas music lovers are looking
forward with delightful anticipation
to the program which features these
two of Americas *most charming ar
lists. And behind it all is the desire
to promote good music in the public
schools of Americas by having the
students hear artists in their respec-
tive parts.
Included also in the numbers
which Miss Stallings will give are
several poems, delineating pastoral
scenes as only they can be portray
ed from Georgia's perfect scenery.

William FL. Jones was born in

For more than twenty-five years he
made his home at Empire, and it
was there that his wife passed 10

ago. For several years Mr.. Jones
was 10 the grocery business at
Empire, the firm being known as
the Jones & Cutting grocery store.
He quite efficiently filled the po-
sition of county commissioner from
the second district for one full
term, and afterwari was postmas-
ter there. Along about the latter
part OF July he came to Idaho
Springs TO take the position of
-----~..-.y s-sssserxe-
i lodge, which position he held up
to the time of bis demise.
Mr.. Jones was man of splendid
character, and was a member of
both the Mascns and the Elks.
He possessed a large circle of
! friends, which was evidenced by
the many who gathered at the city
hall at Empire This afternoon at
two O clock, where funeral services
were held.
The services were in charge of
the Elks, who gave their ceremony
in all i'm pressive manner, with the
exalted ruler, Johu Mollard, iu the

BEN HILLIARD SAYS
HIS DEFEAT INEVITABLE

WASHINGTON, Dec "A million
dollars is good deal Of money, but
Ben c. Hilliard, former representative
from the Denver district, is confident
that if he had invested million dol
lars in the recent campaign he would
have lost the million and W. N, Vale
would have come to Congress just the
same.
However, Mr.. billiard finds comfort
in the thought that in time the Denver
district will return to its old custom
of choosing the best man and then nc
proudly will write an. CO after his
name again.
All of this is set forth in note
which Mr. billiard appended to his re-
port under the federal corrupt practices
act which was received by the clerk Of
the house Saturday The note is as fol
lows:
"This were n futile expenditure, and
the much larger sum spent by Mr. Vale
likewise was for naught. Gould ] have
commanded a million and spent 1t in
aid o; my candidacy and Mr.. Vale had
refrained from spending n cent and
concealed himself throughout the carr
paign, 7 am quite sure the result would
not have been essentially different.
"speaking Of concealment, some PEG
pie insist that Mr. Vaile's failure to
keep out of sight was what enabled me
to poll respectable minority Of the
votes.'
'1t is comforting reflection that
the Denver electors have been known
TO send to Congress the best man OFFER
ing for the preferment, and in time
they are bound to return to form.
am looking forward to that glad day.
"'In the meantime. the doggonc good
man that was elected will continue to
send ont garden seeds ms faithfully as
ever did. What more may tax-bnr-
dened constituency expect of repre-
sentative in Congress1'
