You'll need Rubbers, Overshoes, for men, women and children, German Sox, Makinaw Coats and Rubber Clothingyou'll need the best-for that's the cheapest sort after all. We are showing now an unusually large line of just such things made by the best fakers guaranteed to wear and favorably priced J TO RISE hurry and haste is being shown from Washington.

(LING PEACH PHILLIPS DEAD (Scrlpps News Association) Maryville Cal., Oct. 24 -Joseph Phillips who arignated the Phillips cling peach the greatest canning peach grown, died this morning, Altho his discovery made many fruit growers rich, Phillips died pauper. Pine. Oct. 23 What is believed in Pin to be probably the most important bit of evidence in connection with the murder of Wiiliard Moody excepting only that which is in the possession of the attorneys who secured the evidence upon which Alex. Widdowson was arrested, was discover ed In the finding of a gun near the scent of the killing. ' The gun found is in the possession of the officer hr wK bs'.ic.'S thi . M weapon that killed Wiiliard Moody. The officers are reticent as to who found the weipon and a to whom it may formerly belonged. Whether the finding of the gun strengthens or weakens the case that the state ha against Alex Widdowson is problematical. If it can be positively identified as having belonged to the man accused of having murdered Willard Moody, then the weapon may complete the strong chain of circumstantial evidence, which according to those interested, had much to do with the arrest of Widdowson. Again the finding of ths gin may have no bearing on the case. The weapon was found within a few yards of the place where Moody was slain hidden in the thick rank under growth. The calibre of the ball It carries is said to correspond with that which killed Moody. At least one of the cham bers of the gun is empty. How it could have lain so long undis covered is a problem that cannot be linrlArfnn4 At thm tim tha krulu ura found, and many times since, a careful search was made for the gun or for any clues that might throw light upon the mystery but nothing was discovered. At that time searchers went over almost me exact piece wnere tne weapon wa found. It hardly seems possible in the careful seach made that the gun as found could have been overlooked. The officers here have communicated their find to those interested in the prose cution of the case in Baker and it is rum ored here that but little importance is attached to the find. How ever the local officers have been given in orders to continue work upon the clue presented in the find, and may thru the discovery unravel the deep mystery sur rounding the killing.
