SCHEDULES OF THE PENNANT CONTENDERS

THERE ARE TWO POINTS
i
about our tailoring we wish to
Impress upon you. The first is
that in spite of the high charac
ter of our tailoring it doesn't
make a dent in your pocketbook
to have a suit made here.. The
second' is that the long wear you
get out of garments we fashion
makes them really cheaper than
ordinary clothing. Think come
and be measured.

one of 8. This difference was too
great for the losers to overcome.

The Big Ox Mines!
Twenty-eight thousand five hundred
shares of the stock of this mining com
pany must be sold by Oct. 1. This
stock has been held in Boston, and is
now part of an estate that Is being
settled up. Sheriff Kittllsen of Rock
Island and Walter ; D. Oluey of Moline
bid for this stock that it might be
placed in the three cities, in the in
terest of the. present management
rather than to have it go to -eastern
investors.
Here is an opportunity to make your
money double over and over again, as
the Big Ox mines are getting, ready
for business, and, like others surround
ing them, will be milling some of the
best ore in Montana.
Nothing pays better than a good
mine. The Big Ox property consists
of 15 mines in two groups, connected
by a placer claim along Deer creek.
They lie in the midst of the best min
eral districts around Helena; they are
equipped with an electric plant, and
have several tunnels running into ore
assaying from $40 to $100 per ton. A
$40,000, stamp mill stands at the lower
group. A new mill of larger capacity
will be constructed at the upper group.
Then the Big Ox, like all other mines
of that district, will return to you div
idends that will make you money. Any
number of shares of this stock may be
had at 50 cents per share (par value
$1) If listed before the 1st of October.

OUTCOME HI DOUBT
I.
IANTS SCORE CLEAN VICTORY
New York, Sept. 25. After an ex
ceptionally nerve-tingling two days
for baseball enthusiasts, the New
York-Chicago series J the National
league ended yesterday in a 5 to 4
victory for the home team. The game
kept the immense crowd at a high
pitch of excitement and there were
demonstrations notable even for such
an exceptional string of contests as
New York has been witnessing the
past fortnight.1. The dramitic and ap
parently uncertain ending of Wednes
day's game had sharpened interest In
this last contest especially in view of
President Pulliam's-' ruling yesterday
that the umpire's' decision that Wed
nesday's game was a tie would stand.
Appeared for Flint Game.
Further interest added by the fact
that Chicago had already played a
game before the crowd arrived yes
terday or rather had appsared on the
field with no other team and no other
umpire on the diamond and had
claimed that a 9 to 0 defeat should be
ecorded against New York. They
relied on this, it was said, upon the
rule which they construed as making
compulsory the playing off of a tie
game on the day succeeding it. Fur
ther, they urged that the Nev York
team should, under the rules, be fined
$1,000 for failure to appear to play.
The officers of the New York club,
however, stated, they had received no
intimation from the Chicago club of
their desire to play off the tie, and
did not take the matter at all seri
ously. One of the officials called at
tention to the fact that Chicago ap
peared for the regular scheduled
ame in spite of the statement that
had been given out that the New Yo.rk
ers were by rules barred from playing
until the fine had been paid, which
seemed to indicate that the Chicago
club was not altogether in earnest in
the matter.
No Doubt of Earnnlnru.
But in the scheduled game there
was no doubt of earnestness on both
sides. New York scored promptly in
the first, Tenney on a double by Don-
lin and Herbog on a hot infield single
by Seymour. In tho fifth they took
their other three, Tenney and Bresua-
ha:i on a three baser by Donlin and
Donlin by a sacrifice.
Chicago bunched its four 'in the
seventh. A single by Tinker scored
Steinfeldt and a three ba-jer by Kling
brought in Hofman and Tinker. The
locals then retired Wiltse in favor of
Mathewson and Howard, batting for
Coakley, who had replaced Brown,
brought in Kling. Score:
New York 2 000 3 00005 7
Chicago .0 0 000 0 4004 7
Batteries Wiltse, Mathewson and

continued until I bought a 50-cent bot
tle of Dr. King's New Discovery; be
fore that was half gone the cough was
all gone. This winter the same happy
result has followed ;a few doses once
