The Olds, Wort man & King Big Exposition and Special Sale of White is planned in the belief that the love of fine raiment is inher ent in all refined women that it is not merely au ex pression of a su peificial desire lo look nice, but an expression of au inherent desire to be nice, that makes women wish to have their undergarments even daintier than their outer wraps. One of the important features of this sale is the unusually large showing of Imported French Underwear and the remarkably low prices at which they are offered. In designing our American-made Underwear, we have taken the best French models as our standard and have succeeded in reproducing, them to a wonderful likeness in style, finish and detail, and at large saving in prije. The real keynote is the refinement of the styles the garments are the kind you would make yourself if you had time for home sewing though you could not make them as cheaply as we sell them. Three-fourths of the underrauslins we sell are our own exclusive designs, not to be found at the minor stores about town.

Wash ington. Jan. . It .has been freely pre dicted, from time to time, that the Gov ernment of the United States could not expend two or three hundred million dollars as far away as the Isthmus of Panama without Involving- a scandal of largo proportions. Whether that may be true or not, and it will remain to be found out when much of the money is actually being spent on canal work, there has emanated, from the canal com plaints of clerks who have gone thefo to work for the commission. These clerks claim they have not been fairly treated, and that they went there under a misapprehension, and that cir cumstances were misrepresented to them. Among other things they claim that the Government agreed to provide them with subsistence and shelter. While these clerks were being employed In Washing ton, not such Inducement was held out. and It Is doubtful 1f the Government ever Intended to go into any such business as that. The time may come, and it has been suggested as a very wise thing to do. that the Government should subsist and manage every employe on the Isthmus, as the Army is subsisted and controlled. Rigid discipline in the matter of food and mode of life may be found necessary In order to keep disease from disseminat ing the ranks of laborers and dsstroylng such citizens of the United, States as arc necessary for carrying on the work. There never has been a question about the unhealthfulness of Panama. In all the bearings before the different com mittees of Congress it was brought out. especially by Senator Morgan, that Nica ragua was much more healthful than Panama, and some of the advocates of Nicaragua favored the northern route In preference to the one finally adopted. As to the complaints that have been made by the employes, they are probably not well founded, and the commission has already denied them, and so have the members of the' House committee on Interstate Commerce, who visited the Isthmus previous to the meeting of Congress.

WHERE IS THAT $5,750,000? i Question as to Illegal Extraction of Ore in Heinze Mining Suit. BUTTE. Mont, Jan. . An attempt is being made to learn the whereabouts of 13,730,000 worth of ore alleged to have been Illegally extracted from tho Piccolo Gambctta and West Colusa veins, through the workings of, the Minnie Healymlne. With this object In view, and to recover the missing proceeds from that big amount of valuable ore. a eult was begun in July last by the Boston &. Montana Company against tho Montana Ore Pur chasing Company, the Johnstown Com pany and F. Augustus Heinxe. The dep osition of Heinxe was attempted to be taken today "before Notary Public George H. MacDongau. In giving his testimony before the Su preme Court only a little over "a year ago, Mr. Heinze testified that the inter est In the Minnie Healy lode be claimed to have secured through Miles Flnlen to the Minnie Healey Mining Company for stock, but today the witness said he did not know that he had conveyed any thing to that company. The witness said that he had deeded an SO per cent Interest in the Minnie Healey to corporations and Individuals, but could not remember ex actly to whom the conveyance was made. The witness also stated that he owned only 2 per cent of the stock of the Minnie Healey Company, and la not now an officer or director in the company. It was. stated that fio per cent of the capital stock, of the Minnie Healey Com pany 'was owned by the United Copper Company, and Mr. Heinxe said that he owned per cent of the stock. The 93 per cent of- the stock, was stated, was secured to' the United Copper Com pany from a group of men Including A. P. Heinze. Stanley Glfford. George H. Robinson, Watgen & Co., George W. Wat gen and John Macginni. Heinze was asked why he did not In clude bis own name in ths group, but said his name might be put Into it, but that It might not correctly belong there. It was explained by the witness that the organization of the United Copper Com pany bad been a "complicated arrange ment, in which & four-party agreement had figured." The witness was not certain, as to whether or not the Minnie Healey Company had ever acquired an Interest In the Minnie Healey mine. Bricklayers at Bay City. SAN FRANCISCO.
