Itis use-lr-as for any person,^who has be-e-n in our store for^the last month, to say ^Harris,^how's biz!'' If they were not^blind they could see ^biz was^good.^ Why was it good with^us wheK every clothing tirni in^Hr-lr-na has Wuan active inem-^Iver of the ^kickers club. Why,simply because we^showf-d about as many styles^as all the oilier houses com^^bined. And when a man felt^thai he did not want to work a^whole yeai for the merchant^tailor, in case he needed a sum^^mer suit he put a double eagle^and calls on ns, pees j'let as^well made, just u4 good fitting^and much more stylish gar^^ments, and as a natural conse-^qaewM buys his suit and keeps^us busy. Didyou ever hear about our^clearing sales i We 1, we are^about to start one, pretty soon,^and you can safely gamble that^what little fur is left on the^hides of some of our moss backs^will tiy when they see the^prices we quote. Among them^we will mention some of the^specialties. Don'tyou call to mind that^pretty line of Irish tweeds, the^production of Hill ^ Son, of^Dublin : We had them in two^colors^gray and brown. They^were abjut as universally aa-^mired as anything we have of^^fered this 3-ear, but many peo^pie thought the}- were high;^nut they were not. The trouble^was, they were not appreciated:^but it makes M difference. The^knife goes into them just the^same, and the consequence i*^,^from this day the $22 is^scratched and $17 appears. Butwe have plenty other^plums for those to eat who have^money to buy. The express^has brought in 2(H) suits, sum^^mer weights, that were pur^^chased at 65 cents on the dollar^and they go for the same per^^centage. Many of these lots^came in our first put chases and^were marked *2U, $22, up to^$2s. Now none of them are^marked over $2^^, and although^it is a rank shame, we have let^some of them out at #10. You^can borrow money at B per cent,^a month to pay for your next^summer's suit and s ill be^ahead on nearly any of these^lots. You'venot heard of any sun^strokes this year, haveyout Do^you know the reason i We can^tell you. We have had no hot^weather; for the same reason^we have sold but few of our^summer specialties in coats and VeslS. Now,if there is anything we^pride ourselves on, it is selection^of these goods. Just take a^look at our north window. You^will seethe prettiest assortment^you ever saw in your life. Mo^^hairs, crepes, pongee serges and^silks; the variety is great and^assortment astounding; prices^;if^ per cent, lower than they^would be if the season had been^propitious. We have seersuck^^ers at $1, coat and vest. We^have etripe and cross-bar liss-^tres at tfc. which our competi^tors hold at #7. We have in^the tiner grades, goods that can^not be purchased outside of our^house for love nor money. As^we say, the greatest variety, the^greatest profusion ever offered^to a Montana public. Infact, aJl oar lines are re^^markably low in furnishing^goods. ^In Hats, in Shoes, all^as cheap as consistent with good^grades and best workmanship. Acleaver has been at the dis- Eosalof over 3^H^ dozen hand-^erchiefs at 12 1 2 cents each^^pretty things they were, too,^and neatly all gone. Linenvests at #1 each: last^year's goods at $2.f^o.

Tbe same testimony was give^as at the coroner's inquest, and very little^was added. The witness. Roland Curran.^testified that Lyons threw the chair at Mc-^(roogan. He did not hold it in his hand^and strike him. The testimony of the^other witnesses was substantially the same^as at tbe inquest At tbe conclusion of tbe^examination of witnesses Mr. Booth asked^that the prisoner be held without bail,^and Mr. Campbell made a short^but forcible spee^h in which^he urged that the facts as set forth entitled^bis client to admission to ba 1. When Mr.^Campbell bad concluded the magistrate an^^nounced that he would reserve his decision^as to bail until to-morrow afternoon at 8^o'clock. Lyons was then taken to the^county jail.

OPPOSED TO POOLS. TheChicago Board of Trade I'laces Itself^on Keeord on the Pool Question. Chicago,July 15 ^Tbe senate inter^state commerce committee resumed its^bearings here to-day. Secretary Stone, of^the board of trade, read a report on tbe^questions submitted by the committee.^This report thought that Canadian trans^^portation lines in the United States affect^^ed favorably the commercial interests of^this country. 1 he board of trade commit^^tee also requested in addition legislation to^make it unlawful for railroad companies to^combine for the formation of railway asso^^ciations, like the trust to control traffic,^and to prevent railway trusts of any de^^scription, believing they destroy compe^^tition and evade the laws. This statement^appeared to come unexpectedly to the sen^^ate committee, and created somewhat of a^sensation. They immediately abandoned^temporarily the relations with Canada to^SMi elop the board of trade afea of traffic^associations and pools. SenatorHiscock said this was an import^^ant question, and that the attitude of the^board was surprising, as at other points^where the committee had beld hearings tbe^concensus of public opinion was that these^associations are the only solution of the^present complications. He asked whether^the denunciatory sentences in the report^were in tbe nature of a deliberate opinion^or merely rhetorical. The comniittee evi^^dently did not anticipate the turn affairs^had taken, and evaded an immediate an^swer on the ground that they did not un^^derstand they were present to consider the^question of pools. Individual members of^tbe board of trade committee, on being^questioned, however, expressed strong op^^position to traffic arrangements for differ^^entials for the weaker roads on the ground^that they prevented free competition. The^onimittee finished the hearing, and with^the exception of Senator Culloni left for^east this evening. Lookinginto the Northwestern Koads.

Bl'TTE,July o^ [Special to the Inde^^pendent]^Geo. Kessler did not stand up^in front of Pat Killen for four rounds last^night, as was announced. Kessler agreed^to box four rounds for 'JO per cent of the^gate receipts. Tbe Killen combination ad^^vertised that Kessler would be knocked^out in four rounds. Kessler then made^them sign articles that he should have the^entire gate receipts if he was not knocked^out When he showed up last night the^manager of Killen refused to allow Kess^^ler a representative in the box office. Tbey^wanted to get him in the ring, knock him^out and give htm just whatever sum of^money they pleased. Kessler refused to^appear and stood in tbe door of the opera^house warning the public not to go in, as^there would be no scrap. This kept hun^^dreds of people away and Killen had a^very small audience. The street was^blocked in front ot the opera house and^there was considerable excitement Killen^denounced Kessler from the stage and^Kessler denounced Killen to a much larger^audience from the opera house steps. W.E. Gooding, manager for Killen, in^connection with t lis affair, said to an In^dependent reporter he did not refuse to^grant Kessler a man in the box SMMN to^look after bis interests. He offered him^one-half the gate receipts if he would^stand up the four rounds, and S50 for hos^^pital expenses if he should be knocked^out. The truth of tbe matter is, Kessler^wanted to fix up a fake. He went^to Killen and told him of his^record and reputation in Butte as a fighter,^and asked Killen to let him stay the four^rounds. Killen replied he had a bigger^reputation at stake than Kessler, and if he^should appear before him tbe contest^would be conducted on its merits.

LawyerHeggs Piles a ^w Petition for His^Release From Jail. Chicago,July 16.^A somewhat sensa^^tional move was made in the Cronin case^to-day. John F. Beggs, the imprisoned^senior guardian of Camp No. 20 of the^Clan-na-Gael, tiled a new petition for a^writ of habeas corpus, giving as a reason^why he should be set at liberty that he had^bsen jailed and indicted solely In the hope^that be would thus be forced to turn state's^evidence. The testimony expected of him^he alleges has no foundation in fact He^says while he was illegally Imprisoned and^secreted from friends Immediately preced^^ing his indictment, he was taken before the)^states attorney, who tried to induce him to^make certain statements, the facts so de^^sired not being within Beggs' knowledge,^and that in a conversation the states-attor ^^ney said in substance, ^By the newspaper^^you are condemned already; tbe only way^or best way out of it is to stand in with us,^^meaning thereby to stand in with the press^prosecution, and further stating in the^conversation, ^ If you will accept employ^^ment from us, we will pay you for it lieggsresponded in substance: ^If you^mean by standing in with you, that 1 shall^give you testimony by which any person^or persons might be convicted of the mur^^der of Dr. Cronin, 1 cannot accept your em^^ployment, for the reason that I have no^facts which would tend to convict or even^cast suspicion upon any person. Soonafter this an indictment was re^^turned, and the petition adds that since^there has been the most persistent and de^^termined efforts on tbe part of the police^officers and the states attorney's office to^compel the relator to divulge certain al^^leged facts stated In an anonymous letter^received by the states attorney,regarding al^^leged action in Camp No. 20, In Dr. Cronin's^ease. These facts tbe relator has failed to^give, for the reason that they do not exist.^Tbe states attorney having stated he did^not desire at present to make public his^case, Beggs offers to have the hearing take^place privately. Judge Uorton will bear^the arguments on the petition to-morrow. BOIGHTTHE IMILLIE. Pur- .fanies Wartlner anil Hts Partners^chase a British Columbia Mine.

ANew Style of Cars. TheNorthern Pacific has just received^twenty new colonist sleepers from Barney,^Smith a Co. that are models of beauty,^convenience and comfort, and contain^many improvements over tbe ordinary col^^onist sleeper, or so-called tourist car, gen^^erally in use. Kachcar has fourteen sections with gen^^tlemen's toilet room in one end, and the^ladies room, supplied with marble-topped^wash aland, and force pump, In the other.^In one end of the car Is a Baker firepnmf^heater, which heats the car by means of^hot water conducted through pipes. In the^opposite end of the car Is a cooking range^surrounded by good kitchen facilities. Op^^posite this range Is a twenty gallon cooler^for drinking water, also a large tank hold^^ing seventy galons of water for general^use. Thesecars are finished in natural woods,^^asb, maple and butternut,^beaatifully^polished, and at night are lighted op witn^eight Acme lamps exactly similar to those^in use on Pullman sleepers. The sections^sre divided by sliding head-boards, effect^^ing a privacy not possible in the present^style of cars, where the sections are separ^^ated by a wire netting. An ingeniaus ar^^rangement ot the seats enables them to be^extended flat or with bead-rests when pre^^pared for bedding, and under each seat is^a box in which can be stored bedding or^small baggage, in each section there is^ai-o provided a movable table similar to^those in use in Pullman cars, whicb Is^extremely convenient for many purposes.^All cars are provided with curtain rods. Notwithstandingthe fact that the North^^ern Pac.tic employs s porter to look after^these sleepers, all holders of second class^Montana and Pacifi; Coast tickeU are^allowed to use tbem free of charge. The^Northern Pacific has a greater number of^these sleepers in service than any other^transcontinental line, their total equip^^ment now amounting to 43 cars. It^Is clear that in providing for the comfort^of the traveling public, the Northern Pa^^cific with its new vestlbuied dining and^sleeping cars and superior accommodations^for second class passengers, leads all its^competitors.

She talked rreely yesterday, but^her conversation was only an illustration^of the condition of her mental faculties,^which showed she was still semi-conscious.^The Idj ired portions of the brain are dis^^charging freely: her pulse, temperature^and respiration are good, and as yet she^has not had any fever. While her condition^is splendid, it is such that is apt to mislead,^but Dr. Nichols still entertains the fears he^expressed at first He said that It may be^fully ten days, and may be leas, before in^^flammation of the brain will set in. That^is the crisis be fears, and he Is of the opin^^ion that should she recover her ease will^be extraordinary. All eminent writ^^ers on medicine and practice agree^that wounds to the brain are fatal,^and that generally the worst is known^about the eighth day. Miss Vandervoort^complains of pains in ber bead^but the unfortunate girl has not any idea^as to her condition. She does not know^she was shot and does not know that ber^eye is gone. The vision ot ber left eye^was tested yesterday and found to be all^right She expressed a desire to be up and^around yesterday. Sbe thinks she Is ill^only and when Col. MeCutcheon visited^her yesterday sbe said: **CotoneL, I wish^you would excuse roe for not being at work^today and yesterday; I took sick, but will^be all right to-morrow.

H.^Carter for the defendant The statements^of Col. MeCutcheon. E H. Heckler. H. G.^Mclntire and Drs. KaWson and Nichols^were taken. The boy was relieved from^making any statement, as it did not appear^to be neceasary, tbe testimony making it^clearly an unfortunate accident due to^carelessness. Inthe course of his statement Col. Me^^Cutcheon said tbe girl was engaged in^reading a letter. It was after telling the^boy he did not need to let ber see the pistol^if he didn't care to, that sbe took the letter^up. The boy approached ber and rested^the pistol on her wrist when she made a^grasp for it with her right band, the dis^^charge following. Inreviewing this Dr. Nichols said the^young lady's mind was upon ber work; if^she should become well sbe will know^nothing of the details, but tbe first thing^her memory will revert to will be tbe letter^she was reading. Noarguments were submitted at the^hearing and Judge Sanders discharged the^boy. TerribleFlood In China.
