Take stocks from one end of the store to the other, and you'll find the old figures obliterated and prices taking their place.

Still the assortment will gener erally be found sufficient to please most buyers, while the Muteness of prices will delight them. Mo room for figures here. miic Strictly summer fabrics are right In the heart of the season for wearers, but It's getting late for us. to hold them longer, and we never, never carry these cob webby creations over from one season to another. Our closing prices will puzzle you because of their lightness, but you won't complain on that core. Wash Dress Goods begin at 3c nd from that they creep up by easy step to half cents an d pen nies till the 15c limit Is reached.

Barrett That He Committed the Celebrated Emaaael Church Murders Is Not Credited by the Police. San Francisco. July 25.-fhe trial of the young medical student, Theodore Durant. for the atrocious murder of Blanche Lamont. a school girl, lit Emanuel Baptist church last April, continues to attract great attention. The general opinion Is that the Jury will disagree, us sentiment here Is against convicting any one on purely circumstantial evidence. A new turn has been given to the case by the confession, at Santa Cruz, of William P. Barrett, that he had com mitted the murders of which Durant stands accused. Barrett, who was formerly a waiter in a San Francisco restaurant, says he saw Durant' and the girls on street car, and, admiring Miss Lamont and Miss Williams, he boarded the car In the hope of making their acquaintance, followed them to the church and killed them. The police scout Barrett's story as being the va porlngs of a lunatic; but many people here are Inclined to credit It. Queer Series of Crimes. There la nothing In the history of crime which surpasses In its intensity of Interest the series of murders for which Durant stands trial for his life. Durant is either an exemplary young Christian and the victim of a strange link of criminating circumstantial hap penings, or he Is a cool, methodical, cal culating fiend; paranoiac more daring than "Jack the Ripper," and a monster who turned a house of worship Into a slaughter-house for the gratification of the basest passions. Two beautiful girls were murJered In a San Francisco church, both mur ders being committed within a period of .ten days. The church was In a thickly settled part of the city, but thus far the police have found no eyewit nesses to the tragedies. In the face of the strongest kind of circumstantial evidence, Durant maintains his Inno cence and points to his life long record as an earnest, consistent Christian as proof that he Is Incapable of the crime charged. The mutilated body of tMlnnie Will- lam was found In the library ef Eman uel Baptist church of San Francisco, April 13 of the present year. The fol lowing day a search of the belfry of the church resulted In the discovery of the naked and decomposed bodv of Blanche Lamont, who dlsappea ed April 3. William Henry Theodore Dur ant was arrested and a coroner's Jury charged him with these murder. He is also accused of the killing of Eugene Ware, a friend of the murdered srirls aril his in timate companion. Most Grotesque Type of Crime. Durant was to all outward slams a de vout young Christian, the librarian and superintendent of a Sunday school, an earnest, cons latent an 3 Intelligent work er In the Baptist church. He came from good family, a.id to suspicion of wrongdoing would foe entertained by those who knew him as a church mem ber. Blanche Lamont and 'Minnie Will lams were members of Emanuel Bap tist church. There will toe evidence In troduced In the trial to prove that Dur ant betrayjd Blanche Lamont. The theory of the police Is that Durant first killed Blanche Lamont, for reasons bevt known to himself, and then murdered the Williams girl so as to rid himself of the only witness he fearsd. But there was another witness, decree King, the church organist, was prac ticing on the organ the afternoon that Blanche Lamont disappeared. About S o'clock that afternoorv he saw Durant come down from the organ loft greatly excited and overheated. Durant calmed down and explained that he had been fixing some electrical appliances In the lof u The body of Miss Lamont showed that she had been assaulted, strangled and then hacked with e case knife. brok&ri parts of which were found In the wounds, The body had keen dragged up the narrow belfry stairs. The clothes were found hidden around the church. (Minnie Williams Was found in the t-'brary, her mouth Mled with strips of cloth, and 'three knife wounds In the region of the heart. Damaging Testimony. Two witnesses will swear that they saw Durant and Miss Williams enter the church that evening. It will be shown that on two occasions Durant attempted to make an appointment with Miss William, who lived with the family of Dr. Vogel, at Alameda, across the bay. The day she was last seen alive she left Dr. Vogel's at 4.30 and went to the house of Mrs. Voy. She left Mrs. Voy's at 7 o'clock to attend a meeting and was found dead In the library the following day. Durant left home at 7 o'clock and cannot account for his whereabouts until 9.30. When arrested, Miss Williams' pocketbook was In his possession. Durant said he picked it up on the street. Both girls were strangled by a man who used his left hand. Durant la ambidextrous. Eugene Ware was killed by man whm clutched his throat with his right hand and made eighteen stab thrusts with his left hand. Durant and Ware were members of the state signal service corps. An examination of the corpses dis closed the fact that the murderer de Uberately mutilated the bodies after life was extinct Durant was a medl cal student, and both murders show that the crime was committed by some person who understood his business. When Blanche Lamont disappeared Durant haunted the newspaper offices and was prolific In advancing all kinds of theories as to her whereabouts, but always insisted that she would event ually be found alive. When arrested he was on his way to Mount Diablo to Join the signal corps. . Durant protests his Innocence, asks an examination of his church record, says he can prove an alibi In both cases, claims that he Is not strong enough to have carried Blanche Lamont's body up the belfry stairs, and absolutely denies all knowl CARLISLE OUT OF THE RACE. Ue Says That He Does Not Waat the Office of President. Richmond. Va.. July 25. A represen tative of the State had an Interview with Secretary Carlisle yesterday. The Interviewer said to iMr. Carlisle that many Democrats regard him as a strong man for president regarded him as. the only legitimate successor to Mr. Cleveland. "Well," responded the secretary, "notwithstanding the fact that - the presidency Is the greatest honor that can be (bestowed. I do not want the office. I have seen too much of the hard work attaching to It. The re sponsibility Is not only tremendous, but the work multiplies and becomes more exacting every year. A man must have an Iron constitution to stand it. I am sincere when I say I do not want the nomination. I will certainly do nothing toward getting the nomination." SEIZED BY A FRENZIED MOB. TheDnsky Double Murderer snd Assail ant of the llartfleld Family Is Shot Sev eral Times, Taken from Jail and Proba bly Burned at the Stake. Meridian, Miss., July 25.

When the mob arrived at his door he showed fight, having secured a crow bar, and had to be shot several times before the mob could get hold of him. He was carried out to the scene of his crime, which Is about fourteen miles from Hattlesburg, for Identification, and If he proves to be the right party it Is certain that he will be lynched, and there Is talk of burning htm at the stake. tilLKESON MAY HAVE 200. attornoy General MsCormlek Looks to Thai Number of Delegates for the Chair manSigns of Opposition Weakness.

A BLOODY SHAM BATTLE. Soldiers of the First Brigade Affected by the Realism Crate and Punch Each Other's Heads. Sanltoga, Pa., July 25.-JThe Sixth regiment broke the monotony of the First brigade er.cMmpment this morn ing with a thrilling sham batltle, which developed Into a conflict that equalled a college foo't ball match In roughness, and which sent a number of soldiers to the hospital for repairs. Between the first, and second battalions there has been' the greatest rivalry, which, it Is believed, Is to a great extent geo graphical and political. It was practical ly a fight between dives ter and Dehv ware county on the one skie and Bucks and Montgomery on the other. The battle began all right, but as the commands got together the men began to lose their heads. Companies charged down on cocih ther, rlrlng volleys of- tilank cartridges, 'then closkif In a hand to hand tussle, oiuUbing musketta, punching each others noses, and rolling all over the ground. (Hoarse commands to surrender were answered by wild yells of defiance, and then they hustled and tore amd shouted and swore, hut never surrender, until they became a wild, indistinguishable mob, wlltih offi cers galloping and running frantically among them making vain efforts to stop the battle. Company C, of Ches ter, under Captain .IftrowH charged Ccmipa!ny D, of PWoenlsvlfle, undler CaptaHn Walters, with whom was Lieu tenant Colonel Sterrton. A fierce volley was fired by CompanyD, and under the rules the Chester company should have 'been repulsed and captured. But on Uhey wci.vt with fierce f bouts, charging slap-bang Into Company D, capturing Captain Walters and Lleutenar.lt Col onel Sten'ton as they claimed, or being captured by the lieutenant colonel as he claimed. So far as the spectators could Judge, both claims were right, and the fight was a stand-off between tine Phoctntxvllle Iron workers and the Chester athletes. Thla episode was re peated all over the field of battle, hut tine officers, some of whom were scratched up themselves, finally got the warriors separated and the continua tion of the battle was Indefinitely post poned. At least score of soldiers were badly banged. NOTHING NEW OUT WEST. The Jackson's Hole Indians Appesr to Be Calming Down. Omaha, July 25. General Coppmger left at 11 o'clock today for Wyoming.
