Besides the fact that prices
mean nothing till you’ve seen
the goods, recollect that goods
may be too cheap sometimes.
Price- doesn’t tell the whole
story. Either know the goods
or know the dealer. Few men
do or can know the intrinsic
value of a garment. An ex-
cellent fabric may be rendered
almost useless when made up
by the inferiority of the trim-
mings and workmanship in the
garment’s construction. There
are clothing manufacturers in
this city whose business it is
to produce garments for sale at
auction. We could name one
whose product is sold at retail
regularly each season in Stores
opened here and in other cities
for a week or two at atime and
advertised as “bankrupt stock.”
Therefore, better deal with a
reputable house. As arule the
dealer with 'the largest trade
deserves to have it. The large
,premises, extensive stock and
army of clerks mean Something
They tell the whole story of his
business methods. They show
that people have discovered
his liberal ways and taken ad-
vantage of them. They point
you the direction for your next
purchase.
We are often asked "if it
pays to advertise. It does,
because we always have »pre--
cisely the thing we .describe

JAILED FOR AWFUL CRIME;

‘ vits That in Her Nefarious Business
She Has Thrown Living Babes
Into a Flaming Furnace.
DENVER, Aug. 28.—-This city has ix
thrown into a state of feverish exciteuu
by the arrest and imprisonment of the =. -
torious Mme. Astle on the charge of m L
inal practices. The woman, who see!"-
be entirely unmoved, and who ac
though she ha‘deome powerful inflame:-
behind her that would shield her 1'
punishment, has a most remarkable in U"
national history. .
Her London Career.
'Her exploits in London kept the pu‘i w
busy. Sir Charles Dilke was her persomi
friend when she was known as Georzézc
Shorthouse, and it was she who invited
Mrs. Crawford to her resort, where Sir
Charles afterward met at frequent inter-
vals. The disclosures in this intrigue
were of a sensational character, and the
scandal provoked by the relations of the
pair startled England. Mme. Astle knew
too much. She was spirited away, and
was heard from in France and from various
parts of Europe. ’ '
The skill of Scotland Yard, however,
failed to locate her, and she sailed for
America remained a short time in New
York and then bobbed up in Denver, where
she has been known as Mme. Astle, chi-
ropodist and manicure.
Burned Babies in Her Stove.
The police say they have the affidavit of
I. man who lived in the same house with
Mme. Astle to the effect that he has seen
the woman burn the bodies of infants in
her kitchen stove time after time. The
police have arrested a Mrs. Howard whc
lives in a cottage back of the Astle house.
She is supposed to know something about
the doings of the infamous woman, and
is held as a witness. _
The police have searched the Astle prem-
ises, but will not tell what they have dis-
covered. 'It is thought that some horrible
developments will be made in a ,day or so
when more facts are brought to light.
This Is Horrible. ‘ '

to concede this when they learned of the
secretary’s efforts in the last two months
to increase the supply of gold in the sub-
treasury in Wall street and in the treasury
vaults at Washington. '
On June 30 the supply of gold at the sec-
retary’s command was $117,667,772. It is
now $129,402,927, showing a gain of more
than $12,000,000 in the two months. The
secretary has been quietly preparing for
Sept 1, when the 4% per cent. bonds are to
be redeemed or extended. The banks in.
.New York have lost the gold and they
have just awakened to the fact that the
secretary has shrewdly and quietly re-
duced their gold reserves by more than
612,000,000. He has simply adopted shrewd
measures which compelled the banks to
give up their gold.
The express companies charge seventy-
five cents per 31,000 for shipping currency
from the east to the west. The western
bankers, as is well known, have been in-
terested fora month or more in making
arrangements for shipment of money from
the east to move the great crops of grain.
Secretary Foster, knowing the situation,
notified these western bankers through
Assistant Treasurer Roberts that the Uni-
ted States Treasury Department would
charge only fifteen cents per 81,000 on the
shipments. The western bankers were
tickled at this and gladly accepted the
generous offer of the secretary.
Then they instructed their eastern cor<
respondents to ship their money through
the subtreasury at New York. The cast-
ern bankers complied with the instruc-
' tions, but when they offered Mr. Roberts
legal tender for shipment that smiling
ofiicial announced that the secretary in-
sisted that the eastern bankers in this
emergency must deposit either gold cer-
tificates or the coin. There was no re-
course for the eastern bankers but to com‘
ply, so they honored the drafts of their
western clients and deposited the gold
coin and certificates in the subtreasury to
meet the drafts. '
The western bankers didn’t care whether
they received gold or legal tender. All
they wanted was money. Mr. Roberts, it
was learned, after the eastern banks had
deposited the gold with him, acting on the
directions of the secretary at Washington,
either retained the gold in the subtreasury
or forwarded it to Washington, and in lieu
of it shipped legal tender to the western
banks and bankers. In this way more
than $12,000,000 in gold has been corralled
by the secretary, and the amount will go
far toward helping him out with the 4%
per cent. redemption and extension scheme.
But the New York bankers early in the
week got their eyes open and they ob-
served that their gold reserves were declin-
ing ‘ while the gold reserves of Secretary
Foster were gaining. They set about as-
certaining just how this came about, and
investigation brought out the shrewd plan
of the treasury department.
Lightning Causes 3 Panic.
VIENNA, Aug. 28.—A terrible thunder-
storm swept over the Trieste district, caus-
ing a number of fatalities. At Tualls, on
the Italian frontier, lightning struck a
church while the edifice was crowded with
women and children. A anic ensued, the
people making 'a mad rus for the doors.
Owing to the courageous conduct of the
priest, who was at the time celebrating
mass, order was restored. Subsequently
it was discovered that three women had
been killed by the lightning which struck
- the church. A hunting party at Plan was
struck by lightning during the progress of
the storm, one of the party being killed,
while four others were paralyzed by the
electric shock.
Vanderbilt's Yacht Will Be Seized.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-—The custom house
authorities will collect duties on the yacht
Conqueror, which was imported by Fred-
erick W. Vanderbilt some time ago. Ofii-
eers have been sent out to look for the
boat, and she will be seized when found.
Mr. Vanderbilt intends to take the case
into court and to fight the government on
the point of its rights to collect duties on
his yacht. If duties are finally collected
he will have to pay about $35,000. This is
the first time that the question ever arose
of making a boat that came here on its
own keel pay duties.
Missouri City Endangered.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 28.—The Wabash
railroad is having a hard fight with the
low here. The road had just got the pre-
vious washout repaired and was ready to
run trains when there came another and
more extensive kiosk in the bank, which
swept away :200 eat of the track and a
house which stood near the depot. Gov-
ernment engineers are on the spot to see
if they can do anything to stop the gradual
washout which threatens to destroy
Missouri City unless prompt action is
ta en. '
