an a borrowed nightdress. Officially
at was announced today that customs

encerns them not."
Arriving in New York from tho

m rigid examination by the customs
officers. They took her trunks from

xearched tho dainty contents. Amonc
-tke articles that they seized was the
nightgown. Its absence was unno
ticed by Melbn, who proceeded to
Devon. But when she came to re
lire her plight was piteous. Appeals
-to tho hotel manager resulted in the
production of a coarse American
dress. Bather peevishly, Melba ac
cepted the situation and retired.

ment which he is seeking, is the an
swer of "William J. Barnes, Jr., to
the speeches of the colonel, announc
ing his intention to fight the "old
guard" in the Saratoga convention.
"I am against making the pet the
ories of a demagogue politician the

"Roosevelt says ,he opposes crooks.
So does every other honest man.
"I regret tho controversy in New

HITCHCOCK EXPECTED
SOON IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 27.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock is ex
pected hero any day by tho managers
of tho Burke and Wilson senatorial
oampaigus. For days tho regular
republican leaders in Washington
have been awaiting for Hitchcock to
come and throw the weight of an ad
ministration mnndnto into tho polit
ical balance.
The decision to demand that tho
administration send its chief expon
ent to Washington came when the
state of Washington welcomed Vio
tor Murdbck, tho insurgent. Believ?
ing thnt if Judge Burke and ox-Senator
Wilson were to remain in tho
race, tho electtion of Poindexter, in
surgent, was assured, the organiza
tion, chiefly including tho workers
of the old Piles mnchine, and the ad
herents of Senator Jones, demanded
that the administration keep its
pledge and send Hitchcock to save
tho day.
MORE DEER THAN EVER;
EVE7RY HUNTER GETS MEAT
"There are more deer this year
than ever," says Lon Applegnte, one
of Gold Hill's mightiest nimrods.
"The lnw prohibiting the killing of
docs is n good thing, and is to a
great extent responsible for tho in
crease." Others hold the opinion
thnt tho forest fire3 have driven
many deer out of their fastnesses,
and that this accounts in part for the
good luck that hunters hnvc been
having this season. Every hunter
thnt has gone out from Gold Hill this
year, asserts tho News has got veni
son, and some hnvc cone the legal
limit by killing five deer, it is as
serted. There are several parties
still in tho hills.

Make Every Dollar fcWorth
More than a Dollar!
An educated nd reader will never be poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and whero to buy. No ono,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
over bo unthrifty, or in any sense careless
or reckless of expenses. Por such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
The intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning tho money that is spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of the family revenue!
