In first thought knowing that a publication is published pririly in the interest of the Afro-american, for their uplift, etc., the final observer might think that great majority of our readers of our own race, but such is not ease. True, 75 per cent of our title are readers of this journal, even at that, we have three as many subscribers among white friends as of our own people. The reason is obvious: it, we do not have a large population of our people. Second, the white citizens admire thrift and enterprise in our race; and inibly when given an opportunity show the same. Very seldom we find a public spirited citizen when made acquainted with mission in the journalistic d, but what will readily lend support to our efforts for a per citizenship; this not only is good with our public officials with the professional men, bus- men and citizens in general, ardless of racial or political. So it can be seen that the field the PLAINDEALER occupies places in an enviable position. It now maches all classes and all conditions and with it's broad field, the reader, the advertiser and the progressive fizen have become convinced that advocates the interest of all 'the people and that very truly it is a annual deserving of the patronage our best citizenship regardless of ice or creed. The PLAINDEALER is rapidly forging it's way to the front as Monna's Great Weekly. Join us! catch us grow! Watch our business methods win. After all it is ability and keeping ce with the times that win; the people appreciates the efforts of a man who advocates the principles of Peace, Prosperity and con. We acknowledge the receipt of invitation from our good friend, boyhood companion, J.A. Page, attend the commencement exer- ces at Howard University, Wash- ton, D.C. While we found it possible to attend, we are truly affi- nified at the honors conferred on him, as he was not only a member of the graduating class in medicine, but he was president of class as well. We heartily con- sulate you Dr. Page. We are indebted to otr friend Mr. As Dumas for a trip to the beautiful Columbian Gardens at Butte. The trip was indeed a revelation to and for one to see the bareness the mountains in and around we could never conceive of such vibrant garden spot as the beautiful and refreshing Columbian Garries, it is as an oasis in a desert. Trip to Butte would not be com- come without visiting this paradise flowers. We shall at some rare time attempt to describethis oramic picture as we saw it. BUTTE THE GREAT METROPOLIS OF THE GREAT TREASURE STATE. The Editor of The Plaindealer visits Butte and Finds it Made up of Progressive and Broad-Gauged Citizens Who are Abreast of the Times and Stand up for Butte and Montana at all Times. Our first visit to Montana's Metropolis last week in the interest of this publication was profitable and instructive in more than one way. While we were exceedingly gratified at the reception and encouragement given the PLAINDEALER, we were surprised at the activity displayed in all walks of life and the general prosperity of the people, also the public spirit displayed by all the people regardless of race, color or creed. Our short stay necessarily prohibited us from meeting a large majority of the people, those whom we did meet we verily believe to be a fair representation of Butte's citizenship and they demonstrated to us beyond peradventure of doubt that they are abreast of the times and it is no wonder that the mining city in the world keeps pace even with those whose sole claim for fame is refinement, education and culture, THE PLAINDELER in it's mission of good and dissemination of news for the public good, shall always and at all times have a good word for Butte, and those who have so liberally encouraged us by their patronage shall not be disappointod, for it shall ever be our aim not only to keep the PLAINDEALER up to it's present standard, but to improve it in every way as time and patronage demand. One of the most pleasing and jovial public officials it has ever been our lot to meet was the Hon. J. Kenuedy, the genial and popular city clerk of Butte. Mr. Kennedy was a very busy man but he saw to it that we had an audience with him and he expressed himself as gratified to know that a substantial organ of our people was in existence and assured us of his good friendship for such manifestations of enterprise and thrift. We are always glad to meet such public officials as Mr. Kennedy and nothing that we can say or do is too much for them. As moulders of public opinion, the coming in contact with such broadminded and public spirited citizens, gives us an inspiration which of itself tends to make our work for the uplift of a people more enobling. Butte's great department store is the Hennessy Mercantile Company, which is one of the largest and best appointed stores of it's kind in the entire Northwest; progressive and up-to-date it carries a full line of everything and the people appreciate this great house, in fact, it's fame has spread all over this and adjoining states. The manager, C. J. Kelly, is one of the most pleasing and affable gentman whom we have ever met; ever on the alert for the welfare of his patrons and a cordial greeting to all. They recognize energy and ability whereever shown and encourage the same along all lines. This spirit has gained for house an enviable reputation which marks it as the leader not only the lowest prices for the best goods, but as leaders in everything that is for the uplift of the people at large and especially those of Butte and Montana. P. J. Naughton who runs the Annex Saloon at 39 E. Broadway is one of Butte's progressive citizens; broadgauged and popular with all classes and when in Butte don't fail to visit the Annex. The Fosselman Drug Co., is a wide awake and progressive firm Helena, Montana, Friday, June 22, 1906. and deserves the continued patronage of all the people. Our People up with the Times. A pleasing feature to us is that our own people are progressive and welcome and encourage enterprises condicted by our people. They are trying to Do Something and Have Something. Quite a number of them own their own homes and are striving along business lines. Among those who are conducting business of their own are Grant and Oliver, who are conducting a restaurant and cafe at 118 South Arizona St. They are running a first-claass place, clean and up-to-date which would be a credit to any city and they deserve the splendid patronage which they are receiving. J. W. Duncan is the proprietor of a first-clast tonsorial parlor at 114 S. Arizona. He is an excellent workman and enjoys a lucrative trade. The leading hair dressing parlor of the city is conducted by a woman of our race, Mrs. A. Birthwright, who at all times is overwhelmed with work.

Broadway which is equipped with all the modern appliances for her trade. She carries a complete stock of goods in her line, is a thorough business woman and her patronage is composed of the best of Butte's citizenship. John Fagan conducts a shoe re-pairing shop on South Arizona street; by steady work and close attention to business he has built up a splendid patronage and he is compelled to work overtime to get out his work. B. C. Leroy conducts a shoe shining parlor at 435½ S. Arizona street and does a good business. in the near future. The up of these societies in the Butte contingent to are up with the times to stay so. The Church Butte has two chnrs which seem to be providing well both spirit financially. The A. M. is a nice brick structure Idaho street, furnished throughout and is a co-members and community. The church is at this place under the pastorage of Jones who has only re- assigned to the charges. C. Dumas and N. B. Lewis are the proprietors of the Silver City Club at 38½ East Park Ave., which is an up-to-date and well conducted gentlemen's club, which has a large membership. The club is well appointed and under the management of Mr. Dumas, it is the leading institution of it's kind in the entire Northwest. Mrs. M. E. Davis conducts a lodging house at 222 S. Arizona street and her rooms are always full showing that her business is prosperous. The Afro-American Club at 12 W. Galena street is owned by W. M. Mayo and L. A. O'Neil. The club is under the management of Mayo who in his genial and painstaking efforts to please it's members is bringing it to the front as one of the leading places of it's kind in the state. Lee Phillips conducts a massage parlor and has for his patrons the leading citizens of Butte. While we did not meet all of our people who are in business, we understand quite a few are in the mining bustness and there has recently been organized a Mining Co., which holds first-class claims and starts out under the most favorable auspices. Literary Talent, The colored people of Butte show their aptitude along literary lines as they have two societies; the Silver Bow which meets at the A. M. E. church Thursday evenings and another which meets at the Baptist church Tuesday evenings. We had the pleasure of meeting and addressing the Silver Bow Literary Society on last Thursday evening and to partake afterward of the delicacies prepared by the ladies of the church and served in the very best manner by Mesdames Reeves, Schaackelford and Miss Bradberry with the compliments of Mr. Birthwright. We did not have pleasure of meeting the other literary society but have agreed to address them the Stove. Money, You can Save at the Same Time to Your Comfort With Gas. Railway Company. in the near future. The keeping up of these societies show that the Butte contingent of our people are up with the times and mean to stay so. The Churches. Butte has two chnrches both of which seem to be prospering and doing well both spiritually and financially. The A. M. E. church is a nice brick structure at 600 Idaho street, furnished splendidly throughout and is a credit to it's members and community as well. The church is at this present time under the pastorage of Rev. H. H. Jones who has only recently been assigned to the charge. Rev. Jones hails from Kansas and will no doubt give a good stewardship of his charge and church will prosper and grow. He is contemplating some improvements to the church and is giving a rally to raise the money for that purpose. Rev. D. A. Jefferson is the pastor in charge of the Baptist church which is located on Idaho street. Rev. Jefferson too has only recently been called to this charge, and he has—with a vim that is to be admired—instituted a campaign to buy lots and build, as this congregation at this time and herefo- Household.

Jefferson's effort is commendable one and he should have the united assistance of all the people in his struggle to rear the new edifice. He hails from Pueblo, Col., where he ably filled the charge at that place. The people of Butte can congratulate themselves on having two such able and progsessive pastors as Rev. H. H. Jones and Rev.

Our people also have their share of fraternal organizations, which in their mission of brotherhood are doing much good. There is an A. F. and A. M. which we understand is prosperous and composed of worthy members; there are two numbers of the G. U. O. of O. F, both of which are creditable to the community. Friendless Lodge No. 6311, is the latest acquisition to G. U. O. of O. F. circles and is made up largely of the young blood who are enthusiastic to bring this fraternity to the front. With the earnestness displayed and enthusiasm manifest there is no question that this number will keep pace with the times and keep Friendless lodge well up in the front rank of the jurisdiction. At their last meeting the following officers were ejected: H. W. Davis, N. G.; J. W. Jones, V. G.; C. E. Teague, N. F.; Chas. Siscoe, Seet., and W. H. Jones delegate to the Grand lodge.

Agrarian Troubles Distended and Disorders Are Rife in the Army—Reds Eager to Lift Lid—St. Petersburg Streets Filled with Crowds of Workmen Talking of Political Strike. St. Petersburg, June 19.—The general situation is hourly growing more disquieting and the country seems to be on the verge of another gigantic upheaval. In St. Petersburg and Moscow the populace is greatly excited, and nothing is talked of except a general political strike which would bring the government to its knees. The proletariat leaders, who have been preparing for months for a blow, believe the moment has come to strike. The agrarian troubles now are sufficiently extended and disorders in the army are rife. The government has openly refused to accede to the demands of parliament, and a rupture is imminent there. The ultimate plans of the leaders depend upon the success achieved, but if the government is brought down it is not doubted they have determined that they and not parliament shall take over the reins of government and forever enjoy the fruits of victory. The strikes in St. Petersburg and Moscow, with which the movement was started, while based ostensibly on economic grounds, really are political. The committee of unemployed is only a revolutionary organization, like last fall's committee of workmen, in disguise. The bakers of St. Petersburg and adjoining towns struck today and only the black bread eaten by the poor was sold. The streets were filled with crowds of workmen. A correspondent of the Associated Press was stopped today in one of the suburban towns by a workman, who demanded money without the slightest embarrassment. He announced that those who had money might as well divide it as the workmen soon would be a.ble to take what they wanted. A monster meeting of 15,000 social democrats and workmen held this afternoon at Terioki, Finland, was addressed by members of the group of toll of parliament, and every revolutionary utterance was frantically applauded. The government appears to be waiting for the blow to fall before raising its hand, and it is reported that the design of several ministers to raise the question of a more active policy during the cabinet meeting yesterday was apparently fruitless. Heavy patrols have been placed in the streets and the railroad stations are occupied by troops, but no action has been taken to stop the agitation. The emperor is reported to be spending most of his time playing tennis at Peterhof. It is significant as indicating the progress of the revolutionary sentiment that a general strike is expected to be inaugurated on the Nicholas railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow, which was the only line out of Moscow that was not affected during the uprising last December. The workmen in the shops of the Syrian & Vlasma railroad have already struck, but apparently the demonstration is premature. The Rechl today again appeals to the emperor to try to save the situation by dismissing Premier Goremykin and placing members of parliament who enjoy a measure of public confidence in possession of the government. Admiral Alexieff, in command of the fortress at Cronstadt, has received a grim warning in the shape of a coffin, which was delivered at his house. President Approves. President Roosevelt has approved the resolution accepting Yosemite valley and the Mariposa big tree grove. In his telegram to the governor Secretary Hitchcock requested that the guardian of the valley, who is appointed by the Yosemite valley commissioners, be withdrawn at once so the federal government may enter without delay into full possession and management. Kaiser Ignores Precedent. Berlin.—The court notes with surprise Emperor William's approaching visit to King Haakon of Norway as it is customary for a new sovereign to make the first visit. The probable reason for the step, it is pointed out, is that the emperor desires to set at rest the stories that he is opposed to King Haakon's election and wanted a grandson of King Oscar to be king of Norway. Lucky Billy Bates Red Wing, Minn. — William Bates, a clam fisher, has found a pearl in a clam shell which is said to be the largest fresh water pearl in existence. Its worth is estimated at anywhere between $10,000 to $100,000. It is as large as a good sized marble, weighs 85 grains nad has a beautiful luster. H. N. Pillsbury Is Dead. Harry Nelson Pillsbury, the chess master, died at Philadelphia Sunday of apoplexy after an illness of many months. Pillsbury was born December 5, 1872, at Somerville, Mass, where the body will be taken, the funeral to be held there next Tuesday SET FIRE TO JAIL TO ESCAPE. Instead of Liberty Prisoners Are Burned to Death. Setting fire to the jail to burn their way to liberty, two prisoners, George Washington and Tom Ladneir, were cremated at Carriere, Miss. The men expected to burn a hole in the roof large enough to crawl through. The flames got beyond their control and the heavy smoke overcame the prisoners. Their weak cries for help attracted a passerby, but when help arrived the prisoners were dead. DRAMATIC NOTES. Miss Florence Pierce, a western newspaper woman, is the author of a play entitled "The Children of Men," which had its premier in Chicago last week. Ella Wheeler Wilcox's "Mispah," which abruptly ended its season two or three months ago, will be revived in the fall. In the cast will be Charles Dalton, Elizabeth Kennedy and Francis Losee. It is said that Elanor Robson is to create eight new roles next season. Plays are now being written for her by Sutro, M. C. Lillan, Presbrey, Mrs. Ward, Mrs. Burnett, Rostwill, Rostand and Fitch. Miss Luhu Glaser has signed a contract with the Bobbs-Merrill company for the dramatic rights of the novel, "The house of One Thousand Candles," by Meredith Nicholson, Miss Glaser does not at present expect to appear in the play herself, but will have it presented early next season. The Theatrical bank is the name to be given a new financial institution which will be opened this month at Chicago. The new bank is an outcome of the large theatrical merger recently effected by Klaw & Erlanger, B. F. Kieth and the managers of the western vaudeville managers' association, and will be financed by the merger. The capital stock will be $1,000,000, all paid in, and the business of the institution will be made up largely by the theatrical managers and professional people who have heretofore had some difficulty in convincing banks of their financial standing or executive ability. The business of the theaters interested amounts to $5,000,000 a month. Lew Field is endeavoring to secure Joe Welch, Louise Dressler and Elife Fay for his new production at the Herald Square theater next fall. Grace George has closed her season in "The Marriage of William Ashe," and she and her husband, W. A. Brady, plan to spend the summer in Europe. Anna Held has gone all the producers one better and left them gasping for breath. She has announced that she is going to send all the show girls, who are to appear with her next winter, to Paris to have their gowns made. FIVE LUMBERMEN DROWNED. Boat Capsizes in Shoshone River Near Wapiti, Wyo. Five lumbermen were drowned in the Shoshone river near Wapiti, Wyo., while attempting to cross in a boat. The men belonged to a gang working on a log jam. The names of the dead are Joseph Redding, Green Forest, Ark.; Robert Hendrickson, Hope, Ind.; John Hartley, John Finnegan, Joseph Karry. The boat contained 11 men and capsized in midstream. Six of the party were rescued with difficulty. Revolutionists Make Claims Mexico City—The revolutionists deny that the Guatemalan government has won any decisive victory as reported in a Panama dispatch. General Toledo is some eight leagues within Guatemalan territory, well entrenched and awaiting a favorable opportunity for a forward movement. It is stated also that Pineda at any time may emerge form the forests of Peton with is force and make a dash for Queseltenango, where President Cabrera has a large garrison. Salvador adivces state that the government will declare war openly on Guatemala, in which case the disciplined army of that country will be placed back of the revolution. Best Shot in the Army. The complete records of rifle, pistol and carbine firing of the United States army for 1905, which have just been published, show Abraham Hill, a sergeant in the Twenty-fourth Infantry, stationed in the department of Dakota, to be the best shot in the army. The percentage of possible shots made by Hill on slow fire, time fire and skirmish fire was 86.33. Iowa Pioneer Dead Dr. T. J. Caldwell, a millionaire banker and physician, was found dead in bed in his hotel at Adel recently. Dr. Caldwell was prominent in Iowa politics. Death was due to old age. Longsberry to Leave Yale At the end of the present college year Professor Thomas Lounsberry of Yale will terminate his active connection with the university with a service of 35 years. Leishman Made Ambassador The president has signed the senate appointment of John G. A. Leishman to be ambassador to Turkey, Mr. Leishman is now minister to Turkey. Unusual interest attaches to the graduating exercises of the Albuquerque, N.M., high school this year in that the valedictorian is Sam Ho Kee, a Chinese boy whose exceptional ability has surprised his instructors at every stage of his high school course. OKLAHOMA AND INDIAN TERRITORY AS ONE STATE. Another Star Added to Flag by President Roosevelt Signing the Statehood Bill—People of Arizona and New Mexico Take a Vote Whether They Will Come in as One State. Another star was added to the Union Saturday, when President Roosevelt signed the bill admitting Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state. The measure also provides that Arizona and New Mexico may be admitted to statehood as the state of Arizona, provided the people of the territories vote in favor of admission on the terms submitted by congress. The signing of the bill was made the occasion of an interesting ceremony. Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton, chairmen of the senate and house committees on territories, who have worked long and hard for the measure, were present, as also were Delegate McGuire of Oklahoma and a number of residents of Oklahoma; Delegate Andrews of New Mexico, Secretary Loeb and others. Just before the president signed the bill Ambassador Speck von Sternburg of Germany was ushered into the office, and he, too, witnessed the ceremony. The president used two pens in signing the measure, writing the first name. "Theodore" with a solid gold pen presented by the people of Arizona; his family name, "Roosevelt," with an eagle's quill taken from an eagle in Oklahoma. After signing the bill the president congratulated Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton on the completion of their long and arduous labors in connection with the measure. He also expressed the hope that the people of Arizona and New Mexico would avail themselves of the opportunity to come into the Union as a state. From every viewpoint, he regarded this as the wise thing for them to do, as the opportunity might not come again in a score of years. The president said he has a personal interest in the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, as many of the members of his regiment, the Rough Riders, resided in those territories. GOV. PATTISON DIES OHIO'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE PASSES AWAY AT HIS MILFORD HOME. John M. Pattison, govenor of Ohio, died of Bright's disease at 4:20 Monday afternoon at his home in Milford, 14 miles east of Cincinnati. On a beautiful hillside near his home his body will be laid to rest. One week ago the governor was carried into his home, from which he had gone five months before to his inauguration as chief executive of the state, the intervening time having been spent on a bed of pain. His death came suddenly, and was unexpected even by his physicians and family. At the governor's bedside when he died were Mrs. Pattison and his two daughters and the nurses. John Pattison, boy soldier, lawyer, state legislator, member of congress and governor of Ohio, was born in Clermont county, Ohio, June 13, 1842. He enlisted as a volunteer in the United States army when but 16 years of age, in 1864, and entered college immediately after being mustered out, graduating at the Ohio Wesleyan university, Delaware, Ohio, with the class of 1869, having been a college mate of United States Senator James B. Foraker. He was admitted to the bar in 1872, and elected of the lower house of the Ohio legislature in 1873. From 1874 to 1876 he was the attorney for the committee of safety at Cincinnati. He became a member of the Ohio senate in 1890, and was elected to the 52d congress. For the past 15 years he had been president of the Union Central Life Insurance company. He was a democrat and one of the leaders in the state senate in support of legislation for a more stringent observance of Sunday. His position on this point was well known when he was given the democrat nomination for governor one year ago, and it was because of this that the antislaon league gave him its support. Andrew Lintner Harris, lieutenant governor, who became governor during the balance of the term for which Patison was elected, is a republican. He was elected lieutenant governor both times that William McKinley was chosen governor. Ajust Freight Rates in Washington. An entire new system of freight rates, based on a distance tariff; joint rates on wheat between eastern Washington and Puget sound; terminal rates for Bellingham, putting it on an equality with Seattle, Tacoma and Everett for shipments of grain from eastern Washington. These constitute the principal features of the railroad commission program, this week at Colfax and continuing at Walla Walla next week. When first taken from the mines opals are so soft that pieces can be picked off with the fingers. ULTIMATUM TO UNDERWRITERS. Pay up San Francisco Fire Losses or Get Out of Business. In the name of the city of San Francisco and the state of California demand has been made upon insurance companies that are accused of trying to dodge their obligations for a full settlement with the people of the city. A telegram signed by Mayor Schmitz and Governor Pardee has been sent to the home offices of the 61 companies that voted in Oakland to cut all payments of losses 25 per cent. The exact contents of the telegram are kept secret, but it known that the message is virtually an ultimatum and a warning to the concerns addressed that they must deal fairly and honestly with the San Francisco public or be driven from California. Before the message was sent it was submitted to Insurance Commissioner Wolf, who gave it his entire approval. A number of companies that hold large amounts of reinsurance in other concerns would sign stipulations extending the time for filing proof of loss were they not prohibited from doing so by the reinsurance companies. They have conferred with Commissioner Wolf and explained the plight in which they find themselves. They have been warned, they say, that they will run the risk of losing all their reinsurance if they yield to any demand of the insurance commissioner. The Royal Exchange company has arranged with the commissioner to have a published extension of time accepted by him instead of the stipulation demanded. This extension is until September 1. KIDNAPER LANDS IN PRISON. Stolen Child Was Returned After a Week's Detention. Philadelphia, Pa., June 20.—After a weeks' confinement in an untenanted house, subsisting on bread and milk, and suffering from exposure, little Freddie Muth, the 7 year old boy who was abducted a week ago, has been returned to his home. His abductor, John J Kean, is in the city jail, and his trial is to be rush ed by the loafer authorities. John J. Kean,t he kidnaper of little Freddie Muth, was once a prosperous broker, who was respected in the business world, and whose word could com mand a moderate amount of capital. only a few years ago he was happily, married and is now the father of three bright and inesting children, the eldest not yet as old as the boy he stole. Then, a few years ago, there entered upon the scene a woman. For her the prosperous broker neglected both his business and his family, until the form er went to ruin and the latter was brought to the verge of actual suffering. In an effort to recoup his fallen fortunes, Kean entered the real estate business, and here his ability placed him on the high road to prosperity. But his income would not suffice for the maintenance of his family and the household of the other woman as well, and he began falsifying his accountss and embezzling rents and moneyss which he had collected for his clients. His dishonesty was discovered by a man named Cooke, whom he had represented ever since his entrance into the real estate business, and for whom he had handled large sums. Cooke was not only a cilent, but a friend and benefactor of Kean, even providing him with a free house for his family. When he discovered the dishonesty of the man he had befriended he did not at once cause his arrest, but instead went to him and informed him of what he had discovered and gave him June 12, to make good the embezzled money. On Saturday, June 9, Kean wrote to Cooke from Palmyra, N. J., stating that either Tuesday night or Wednesday he would return the stolen money, which amounted to less than $12.000. It was in order to get the funds to pay this obligation that Kean kidnapped Freddie Muth. Later Report. John J. Keane was sentenced to 20 years for the crime. At the trial the boy told of his captivity. Two hours and a half from the time he was arraigned for preliminary hearing Keane was ready for commitment to the penitentiary. The boy's father is a wealthy jeweler of Philadelphia. SALT LAKE NEWSPAPERS BURN. Tribune and Telegram Lose All of Their Machinery.

Emperor Nicholas has issued a rescript to the Siberian Cossacks, granting them in perpetuity the lands which they now occupy. President Roosevelt has approved the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. A revival of Boxerism and considerable brigandage is reported from various sections of north China. Edmund Lyons, a vetran of the stage and a noted representative of the old school of acting, is dead. The decree consolidating Pittsburg and Allegheny has been signed by Judge Collier of the county court. Appleton, Wis.-Wenzel Kabat, convicted of having shot and then burned the body of Michael McCarty, a wealthy farmer, has been sentenced to life imprisonment. The statements of Walter Zalaszkiewicz, at Portland, formerly president of the Polish National society, seem to confirm a recent item stating that Port land harbors an anarchistic society which contemplates the assassination of President Roosevelt, and which lauds the act of Czolgosz. Zalaszkiewicz's tsatements were made to the pice alice while he was securing warrants for several members of his society, whom he alleges attacked and beat him for objecting to an alleged misuse of the society's funds. Zalaszkiewicz states that there are about 80 members of the anarchists' club in the city of Portland, and that they hold regular meetings at the place northeast of Portland. SUNDRY SERVICE BILL PASSES Carries Total of $94,578,040, of Which Nearly $26,000,000 Is for Canal Project. The house, by a vote of 129 to 82, adopted the senate resolution, providing for the purchase of materials and equipment for use in the construction of the Panama canal of domestic manufacture and of the lowest responsible bidders, unless the president shall in any case deem the bids or tenders thereof to be extortionate or unreasonable. The adoption of the resolution came after a long discussion of purchasing canal material in open markets, while the sundry service bill was under consideration. The sundry civil bill was also passed. It carries a total appropriation of $94,578,040, nearly $26,000,000 of which is for the continuation of work on the canal. Among the features of the bill is the amendment discontinuing canteens at all government and state homes of the old soldiers where government appropriations are available. Large Ships Not Able to Get Through the Waterway. Berlin.-A commission of 30 high government officials have visited the Kiel canal to study plans for widening it. Unofficial estimates give the cost of this work as $50,000,000. Larger vessels are absolutely excluded because the locks are too small and the curves too sharp. Meat Inspection Bill Passes: With practically unanimity the house adopted the substitute amendment for the Beveridge amendment to the agricultural appropriation bill, relating to meat injection, the objectionable features of the former amendment being eliminated and the amendment perfected to meet the wishes of the president. After the adoption of the amendment the bill was sent to conference, the conferences being Messrs. Wadsworth, Scott of Kansas and Mr. Lamb of Virginia. MONTANA SQUIBBS. A serious cutting affray occurred all Fort Assiniboline as the result of a collision between a switch engine and a car in which a number of Italian roadbed railroad employees were sleeping. It appears the engine ran into the car and injured a number of Italians. Those who escaped turned upon the train crew with knives and are said to have seriously cut several of them. Former Mayor Frank J. Edwards of Helena has returned from the east after an absence of five weeks during which he was in St. Paul, Rochester, Minn., Chicago, Washington and New York. Helena Elks, have decided to hold their annual "gambol on the green" this year at the big hay ranch of Frank W. Lingquist in the Prickly Pear valley. The house has adopted the conference report on the bill opening the Blackfoot Indian reservation in Montana to settlement. The towns of Rosebud and Ashland have both made preparations for a big celebration July 4. Mrs. Lib Whiting, wife of J. H. Whiting, who runs a store and operates a saw mill on Bridge creek, below Grey Cliff, met with a terrible accident. Some of her clothing caught in the belt and she was thrown upon a big saw. Her right hand above the wrist was cut off, and her left arm, from the wrist to the elbow, was badly lacerated. Engineers of the St. Paul road are at the present time engaged in running a line through Eighteen-Mile canyon, nine miles beyond the Nine-Mile house, and cutting the main range of the Rocky mountains, and if, as the engineers think, this route will afford a better track grade than routes considered heretofore, the St. Paul will enter Butte from that direction. As a means of combating the dandelion plague in Lewistown the civic society has paid children of Lewistown half a cent a pound for 4000 pounds of dandelions, with part of the roots attached. The club was prepared to buy 6000 pounds of dandelions, but two tons were all the boys and girls brought in. The amount of work done for that $20 would not be undertaken by men for five times the sum, but the children seem satisfied. Arrangements are on foot for extending the telephone system along the government irrigation work on the lower Yellowstone river to include the towns at both ends of the project. The lines will be extended to Glendive on the south and Mondak on the north. Mrs. Alice Olson was awarded $25,000 damages in Judge Borquin's court at Butte for the death of her husband, Samuel Olson, in January, 1904, in the Michael Davitt mine. Olson met his death from a blast fired, it is alleged, by employees of the Heinze interests, operating the Rarus mine, adjoining the Davitt. The judgement is directed against the Johnstown company, one of the former Heinze companies, and Thomas Knight, a foreman of the John stown company. Fred Divel, a partner of Olson, was also killed. This conflict was the fiercest in the history of the Amalgamated-Heinze warfare, the miners fighting each other with dry namite and powdered lime blown through air pipes. The massacre of Jews at Bialystok, Russia, has shocked the country of Russia and added to the general excitement and revelation which the parliamentary committee sent to investigate the outbreak at Bialystok are expected to make will only add fuel to the flames. Leopold J. Greenburg, honorary secretary of the English Zionist Federation, of London, has received a telegram from a members of the Russian douma, stating that the bloody anti Jewish campaign in Russia is so well organized and so vigorously supported by the bureaucracy that few Jews and little Jewish property is likely to survive. "Only the douma," continues the message, "offers the slightest hope of staying the movement. Troops, wherever fighting threatens to go against the mob fire, on the Jews. Much property has been destroyed by means of dynamite, which is in the hands of the authorities alone. The Jews are entirely without protection. All other nationalities, as such, merely stand aside. The douma will make desperate efforts to secure control of the administrative machinery of the government in order to stop the on slaughter on the Jews and quell the blood thirsty rioters." The Jewish World has received the following from Dvinsk, also termed Duanabeg, province of Vitebsk, 110 miles southeast of Riga, dated June 18: "Fifty persons have been killed in the anti-Jewish rioting at Starsosielse, not far from Białystok. The state of mind of the population is indescribable." Prominent Jews in Berlin are receiving details of massacres and plundering of Jews in various parts of Russia. At Caroki the authorities posted a telegram alleged to have been received from the czar ordering all Jews killed. Thereupon the peasants attacked and slaughtered many. Wealthy gentiles at Nishin offered $5 for each Jew killed, $2 for each one wounded and $1 for each male infant killed. Pessants everywhere are arming to enrich themselves by earning these bounties on dead Jews. It will take men and women of iron to bring in the golden age.

LOUIS ALSO HAD SEVERAL FIRES LAST SUNDAY, Six Story Ryan Annex Bullding Burns Fiercely All Day—Many Firemen Are Injured—Thirty-Seven Over. come by Heat and Smoke—St. Louis Also Has Big Fires. St. Paul, Minn., June 18.—The six story Ryan annex building was com pletely gutted by fire which was dis covered shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning and which burned fiercely all day. The estimated loss to the build: Ings and the stocks of the occupants is between $450,000 and $500,000, The fire originated in the basement of the store occupied by the Palace Clothing company, supposedly from a defective electric wire. Several firemen were badly cut by flying pieces of glass and 37 were overcome by heat and smoke. Ten of these were taken to the hospital and the rest to their homes. All of them will recover, with the possible excep- tion of Lieutenant William Edwards, who tonight is said to be in a c-itical condition. The Ryan hotel is across the alley from the burned structurs, but it was not damaged in any way and there was no alarm among the guests. Two Fires at St. Louis. St. Louis, June 18.—Two early morning fires Sunday did damage es timated at $105,000 by completely gut ting a five-story office building and burning a large livery and undertak ing establishment this morning. Fifty horses were incinerated in the latter. The office building was occupied by the Philip Carey Manufacturing com- pany, the local office of the Charles Fisher Mattress company of Chicago and the Grand Springs Water com- pany. LADRONE LEADER SURRENDERS. Sakay, “President” of Filipinos, Comes to His Senses. Macaro Sakay, self styled president, and Francisco Carion, vice president of the Filipino republic, has surrender- ed at the constabulary headquarters in Manila, The military and civil aw- thorities are much elated as Sakay was chief of ladrones in Luzon, and his surrender means ah end of the campaigning in this section. ‘The surrender of this ladrone chiet- tain was occomplished through the in- fluence of Villafuerte, a former offi- cial of Sakay's government. The act- ing chief of the constabulary con- ferred with Villafuerte two months ago and when the latter gave himself up he promised to use his influence with Sakay to persuade him to sur- render. He met Sakay in the provinces recently for a long conference, which resulted in the latter's surrender. “I surrendered,” said Sakay, “be- cause fighting is an uphill game and the Fillipinos will never succeed in gaining independence until they show themselves worthy of it. There is nothing to be gained by opposing the Americans.” His surrender is regarded as the most important since the close of the’ insurrection. Sakay is an educated Filipino and after giving the American authorities much trouble in and arouad Manila, proclaimed himself su- preme head of the republic with head- quarters in the Tagalog islands, form- ed a large staff and issued commis- sions to generals and other officers. He went into the provinces three years ago and started a campaign of robbery and general depredation. A reward of $1000 was offered for his capture. Sakay fought several bat- tles with the constabulary and was twice reported killed, but always evaded arrest. CUPID CRIPPLED BUSINESS. Thirty-Six Girl Clerks Resign in a Day to Wed.

EQUITABLE CHANGES ITS PLAN The Stockholders of the Equitable Life Assurance society has by a vote of 667 to 80, adopted the formal reso- lotions authorizing the amended char- ter, which provides for the mutualiza- tion of the society. The resolution was presented by Grover Cleveland, in be- half of the trustees who voted the ma- jority of the stock owned by Thomas F. Ryan. Formal protests against the amended, charging it to be unconstitutional and illegal, were read. All records for large trees in British Columbia forests have been broken by the felling of a gigantic Douglas fir at Rock Bay. The tree measured 99 feot in length when trimmed to lumber size, its diameter at the butt was 1) feet 6 inches and its diameter at the top 4 feet 10 inchse. The tree contains 18,- 500 feet of mercantile lumber. A call for @ meeting in New York of protest against the massacre of Jews in Russia bas been sent out by the United Hebrew congregations of Amer- joa.

The PLAINDEALER man on his recent visit to Butte had the honor of meeting for the first time, the Hon. Lee Mantle, former U. S. Senator from this state and at present Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. We found him quite busy but spared enough of his valuable time to greet us kindly and talk over the field of journalism as covered by us. We found him to be a very broad gauged man who is abreast of the times and he spoke encouragely of of the progress of the race and commended our efforts in disseminating the doctrine of Peace Prosperity and Union. The senator says is no question of Republican success this fall but that as vigorous a campaign would be waged as if the result was in doubt. We were very favorably impressed with the genial chairman and believe he is the right man in the right place if success is to gained along national lines at the coming election in November. While we are not declaring ourselves for any one, we verily believe that the Republicans will have to look a long ways to find a more fitting and available man for the U. S. Senatorship next winter than the Hon. Lee Mantle of Butte. --- Sup't. Smith to Graduating Class The following are extracts from the very able address delivered by County Superintendent, Miss M. V. Smith, to the 8th grade graduating class: "You have laid a good foundation for the superstructure which you are about to build, You belong to a class that in a few years will be at the head of affairs in politics, religion and commerce, not only in your own town but in the state and nation, And I would that tonight you might pause as it were, and take one good look into the future and ask—which place am I to fill? And as you look and behold the teacher's desk, the preacher's pulpit, the statesman's chair, the mechanic's shop, the merchant's office and the many other places to be occupied, I would have you ask—what must I do to be ready to fill one of those places? And the answer must be—make preparation by continuing in the work in which you have been engaged for the past few years. "You are endowed with God given powers and these must be developed if you become the men and women that you ought to be. If they are not developed you will lose even that which you have. 'For he that hath to him shall be given and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.' The right kind of education will develop the powers of the mind and soul so that you will be able to think and do your best. 'What sunlight is to the eye, education is to the intellect.' "In closing I would congratulate you on the good record you have made and say that we will expest great things of you in the future. The day is coming—yea, is now at hand—when the youth of Lewis and Clark will fill many of the places of honor and responsibility. And who can do it better? We believe in you. We believe in building up our teaching force from your ranks; in giving you places of trust as you are fitted for them. We believe in home talents, home products and home industries. block. Mr. Fenter has charge of this large building. He is a native of Arkansas; later lived in Colorado and has been a resident of Butte since '99. Himself and wife are the souls of hospitality and do not hesitate to encourage thrift and enterprise by members of the race. Mr. Lee Phillips. Large of stature and of heart is our good natured friend Mr. Lee Phillips, one of Butte's best known colored citizens. His efforts in behalf of this publication shall ever be gratefully remembered; he has demonstrated to us that he is a race man who shows their make up by acts and not words. Through his efforts and assistance we procured a large volume of business in Butte and we do not hesitate to give him credit for the same. If the race in every community had more men of the type of Lee Phillips, Peace, Prosperity and Union would reign supreme. Give All A Square Deal. We do not stand sponsor for any business other than our own, and if we had our way we would prohibit the liquor traffic in its entirety, because from our observations, with statistics to back it up, we believe that of all crimes and misery, 85 per cent can be traced to whiskey. But, where in this state the business is considered legitimate, why is it that without a hearing or notice of any sort, a man is ruthlessly deprived of his business; that it is confiscatory and an outrage no fairminded man will deny, and we are satisfied when the majority of the councilmen are acquainted with the real animus behind this attempt to crush a man in business, there will be a change of sentiment. This we believe to be a piece of sharp politics, coconected and lined up by the Ben Tillman whip—Lissner who is a competitor of Graye and Gordon—and the plea of crime and the headquarters of criminals, is only dust thrown in the eyes of he unwary to cover a more precious desire to get even than has been dreamed of anp it may yet all come out in the wash. While we shall never endorse the Zanzibar or any other saloon, we verily believe they are all alike, but as we have them, treat them all alike, and in dealing with them, give all a square deal and not be carried away by the maudlin whimperings of a competitor who essays to not only run his own saloon in the same bailiwick, but to run competitors out and through his superior statesmanship run the council as well.
