PEACE! PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! As far as the closing of the Clore street resort is concerned we certainly have no complaint, and as to the proprietors of the same, we likewise have no concern. We base all our actions on the broad plane of principle, and we do not believe that the star chamber proceedings of the police committee in secret session where the enemies of the gentlemen concerned gave vent to their personal likes and dislikes behind the back of the parties on trial; we predicated on even the borders of principle. The facts in the case, it seems, are that the edict had been issued, and this resort had to go by fair means if possible, by foul means if necessary. Graye and Gordon, for some, were making too much money; for one, and he a councilman, they were too close to him; with them out of business he could be possibly figured, thrive like a green bay tree. To others, and this strikes home to some of the highest; the mixing of even the scrapings and offal of the earth by which this particular place was characterized was too much. Sixteen hands around with light blonds and eight husky blacks was the climax with the Tillmanites and Lily Whites so on this basis, and equally astounding and pernicious premises, had the edicts that this resor must be closed been issued. The claim of its being a resort for criminals, and a dive were only dust thrown in the eyes of the unwary. The place was way up above the average saloon in appointments, cleanliness, etc. And was patronized very liberally by all classes, eighty-five per cent of their patronage being white. This statement no doubt is a revelation to many, but it is true; many figured that when the colored soldiers were ordered away the place would be a losing venture in a business way, but their business increased, if anything, and the parties who desired their scalps, realized they could no longer wait for their demise in business, for want of patronage, so they, being black, we can use that most dangerous weapon of prejudice which is more potent in destroying foes than the highest explosive yet invented, and they were successful as a matter of course. The claims made that they are investigating other places is only balm for the fair-minded who are opposed to those tactics. In a stone's throw from this resort are places which are twenty times worse, and productive of more evil and crimes which can be easily proven, and is a well-known fact to the average citizen. We frown upon the saloon with its influences, we denounce immorality in every form, and our mission is to stand up for the right and denounce the wrong; we believe that our people and all others should aspire to a higher position in life than that of retailing booze and catering to the denizens of a red light district. As we have often said, this ele- ment is the weight upon the progress of civilization, but the white man with his thousands of years of opportunity is not prohibited from this vocation in life as long as he conforms to the law. By what principle is a man crushed who has had only forty years of this civilization. Leon LeCroixs inspirations for a second term have gone a glimmerng. The PLAINDEALER predicts that his name will not even go before the convention. POLITCAL SNAPSHOTS. The PLAINDEALER's contention as to LaCroix's unfitness for such an office as County Attorney of a county of the magnitude of Lewis and Clarke, has been fully upheld when a public official's conduct is such that the judge of the district court will publicly reprimand him in open court. We submit again the question, is he the right man in the right for such a office. And this rebuke was administered by one of his own party. The people want no more of LaCroix and his methods. Your uncle Dick Purcell can now laugh the laugh of he who laughs best, when he sees all those who opposed him, getting it where the chicken got the axe. Dr. Brooke is evidently one of those broadgauged democrats who does not believe that two wrongs make one right and who stands for a principle, and is in sympathy with the Roosevelt idea, which is not, black man down and white man up, nor white man down and black man up, but rather all men up and no man down. Lissner the moral politician, for whom even those who are not of his political faith, bow in humble acquiescence and in star chamber proceeding executes his will, having now dethroned the King of the Blackbirds, is playing his role to a finish, as his visits to Clore St. of late have been more frequent and of longer duration. Owing to the absence of several of the county officials from Bozeman, we did not have the pleasure of meeting all of the Gallatin county officials; we, however, did meet one old "moss back" in the person of the county treasurer, and we cannot conceive how he ever got elected to that position as we do not believe that he knows himself. At Bozeman we met the efficient and able County Attorney, A. J. Walrath, who has proven such a terror to all evil doers. He is a pleasant and affable gentleman to meet and has made an enviable record as a prosecutor. Mr. Thomas Jones, Gallatin county's assessor was a very busy man when the PLAINDEALER man greeted him at his office, but he found time to greet us courteously. He explained to us the immense volume of work that himself and two deputies had executed on the tax lists, etc. Mr. Jones has made on efficient officer and merits the confidence of his constituents. A preacher at the conclusion of one of his sermons said let all in the house who are paying their debts stand up. Instantly every man, woman and child with one exception rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said: "Now every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception noted a careworn, hungry-looking individual, clothed in his last summer suit, slowly assume a perpendicular position. "How is it my friend," asked the minister, "that you are the only man not to meet your obligations?" "I runs a newspaper," he meekly answered, "and the brethren who stood up here are all my subscribers and—" "Let us Helena, Montana, Friday, July 6, 1906. The editor of the PLAINDEALER last week visited Bozeman, probably the most beautiful city in all Montana, and while there he met a broadgauged and progressive citizenship who are doing their part in making their home and Montana great. One would have to visit this immensely fertile region to in the slightest degree comprehend the vastness of its resources. Its yield of wheat, potatoes and cereals is phenomenal and on every hand the richness of its soil and environment are apparent. The people are all prosperous and race hatred and prejudice is un known, and every man or woman is considered for what he is; they welcome good citizens of any race or creed, but have no room for the idle and shiftless. The town of itself a beauty; wide avenues, perfectly level, beautiful lawns and trees, shrubbery and flowers in profusion. Owing to the absence of the mayor from the city, we did not have the pleasure of meeting him, we were assured however of his geniality and good-fellowship and regret very much his absence. We however met many of the public officials of Gallatin County and found them a genial and courteous set who are a credit to their positions and to their constituents as well. The colored people of Bozeman are industrious and progressive THE KITCHEN IS THE PLAGE Where Comfort Begins in the The Chief of All the Articles in Use is the Stove.

We visited the home of Mrs Lewis and found one of the finest mansions in the state of Montana, artistically built and surrounded with a beautiful lawn, shrubbery, foliage and flowers. Aside from this Mrs. Lewis owns numerous pieces of valuable property throughout the city. Mr. S. J.

McCowan has resided in Bozeman for 8 years and by hard work has built himself a splendid home and is doing his part toward the upbuilding of his city and state. L. D. Hawkins has lived in Bozeman for the last decade and is noted as a dealer in horse flesh. His straight forward methods and square dealing have earned for him an enviable reputation is his line. Aside from doing business for himself he has been in the employ of the largest buyers in Gallatin county as their buyer of horses, they having explicit confidence in his judgment and sagacity.

Many of our readers are acquainted with the genial hospitable steward of the Gallatin Valley Club in the person of Wm. Walker, who is known all over Montana for his genial ways and good fellowship. He is doing nicely and is contented with his environments; has the confidence of his employers and has made many friends since his employment at the club. Mr. Walker has as his assistant our own J. W. Bush, who has only recently gone to work as assistant steward, but we predict that he too will make good in the position. One would have to go a long way to find a more reliable and steady man than our genial friend Bush, and this great club could not have their business in better hands than Walker and Bush. But, more than that, as porter and handy man at the club and formerly devil at this, the PLAINDEALER office, the Gallatin club has captured --- Household. THE SELLS-FLOTO CIRGUS. Willie Sells of the Great Sells-Floto Shows which will be here on the 11th is a Kansas Boy who has by hard work and business ability made a rapid rise in his profession; he is from our town and has a reputation of doing things. We can assure our readers that in patronizing the Sells-Floto Shows they will be well re-paid, as the genial and generous Billy is always there with the goods.

There are one or two more families whom we did not meet, among which is McDonald family, which is highly respected, own their own home and have lived in Bozeman for many years. everything that goes to greater Montana, and we meet such men, we are, encouraged and strive to in our mission of Peace and Union.

King of Bozeman While on our recent visit to Gallatin county we had the honor of meeting the Hon. E. W. King, who is one of the stalwart republicans of the Great Northwest and was the republican nominee two years ago for Lieutenant Govenor. Mr. King is a pleasant gentleman to meet and congratulates us on our enterprise in launching Montana's Great Weekly. He gave us many words of encouragement which we greatly appreciate and shall try and demonstrate the same in our efforts for true republicanism, a greater Montana and the highest and best citizenship. Mr. King says that his time is so thoroughly occupied in his many and varied business concerns, that he has not had time to keep track of the political trend, but that he was sure that Gallatin county could now be put down as safely republican and that everything throughout the state as far as he could see looked most favorable for a continued success of republican principles.

An Enviable Record. The all important office of the sheriff of Gallatin county is filled by a comparatively young man in the person of Mr. E. M. Reynolds and never has an official gained the confidence of his constituents in this office to a greater extent than has the present incumbent. Since Mr. Reynolds' incumbency of the office of sheriff, the criminal element has had to steer clear of his bailiwiek; he has made an enviable record in the capture of criminals both in his county and for other officials throughout the country. The horse thieves have found in him a relentless enemy who has proven their undoing. He is a hard worker and in the language of one of the deputies he does not say go on boys! But it is always, come on boys! He is assisted by a courteous and efficient set of deputies in the persons of A. H. Sales, undersheriff and deputies H. W. Bull, Jas Keown, Geo. Battenfelder, S. C. Montgomery and D. E. Gray. Mr. Reynolds is of course a staunch republican and merits a renomination and reelection by an increased majority. Mayor McConnell of Franklin Pa., appointed an Afro-American to the police force as soon as he was sworn in, but the consul refused to confirm his appointment. The mayor announced that his appointee would serve anyway, if he had to appoint him from month to month, but the consul says no provision will be made for his salary. --- No. 17. A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Country—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Fall Trade is Good. WASHINGTON ITEMS. A freight on the Northern Pacific was wrecked in the Chehalis yards recently. Twenty-three cars piled up in every direction, the main track and all sidings being entirely blocked. In the presence of a packed courtroom at Davenport Judge Miles Poindexter of Spokane rendered a decision that Attorney H. N. Martin, against whom disbarment proceedings had been brought because of alleged attempt to bribe the court commissioner, had not been proven guilty. The Tacoma strike, declared a short time ago by Italian laborers and section hands employed by the street railway company, was declared off tonight. The Inland Empire Railway company has started development of its power site at Nine Mile bridge on the Spokane river about nine miles below town. The omnibus public building appropriation bill as enacted into law carries the following Washington provisions; Tacoma and Spokane, $100,000 each; Bellingham, $20,000, and North Yakima $15,000. The last two provisions represent outlays for building sites. The funeral of O. O. Peck, a Spokane pioneer and one of the original owners of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine, occurred at Spokane Sunday. The supreme court has affirmed the judgment of the King county superior court which held that the election of April 22 to determine whether certain property should be annexed to West Seattle was null and void. Three men, whose identity is unknown, are believed to have lost their lives by drowning in Lake Washington, Seattle, recently. Lieutenant Governor Coon was elected president of Eagles at the state convention in Seattle. E. F. Waggoner, grand master of the Masons, has been requested to convene the grand lodge at Davenport, July 3, and lay the corner stone of the $50,000 courthouse there. The farmers at Dixie, who are among the heaviest stockholders of the new company formed to develop the oil fields in their locality, are negotiating with an experienced oil well driller from Los Angeles to come here with his outfit and put down a test well. There are now grazing in the Cascade mountains, mostly in the vicinity of Leavenworth, about 250,000 head of sheep. These have wintered in the counties of Douglas, Adams and Franklin and are driven there for summer grazing. Mrs. Salille Galler of North Yakima secured a verdict for $3800 against James McMahon and his wife, Catherine McMahon, which sum is alleged to have been stolen from the plaintiff by the defendants during a fire at her home about a year ago. The prospect for wheat in Franklin county is the best by far since the land has been under cultivation. Attorney General J. D. Atkinson, in an opinion rendered recently holds that the railroad commission has full authority under the law creating it to define "reciprocity demurrage" as the right of a shipper to demand empty cars within a reasonable time after making application to the railroads for them, and that the commission also has authority to fix and enforce penalties on a reasonable reciprocal demurrage rule or regulation. The members of the Washington State Beekeepers' association have decided to hold the next meeting at Pullman in January. The wheat harvest has begun on Badger mountain near Wenatchee, the farmers in that locality having commenced to cut winter wheat. The wheat now being harvested is well filled out and will thresh from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre. Governor Mead has received an official announcement of the National Irrigation congress to be held in Boise, Idaho, September 3 to 8 inclusive, with a request to give it wide publicity. Washington is entitled to 15 delegates to be appointed by the governor, 10 delegates to be appointed by the mayor of each city having 10,000 or over and in addition to the delegates from commercial clubs. Blind drunk two Indians drove on the railway track near Yakima city Sunday afternoon while the weat-bound North Coast Limited was approaching at high speed and were struck. The engine threw them 50 feet distant to a barb wire fence and both were instantly killed. The men were badly mutilated. Their names have not been learned. Representative Jones will stop en route at Chicago and St. Paul, arriving home about July 7. John Hodan, age 21, was run over by cars and killed at the town of Kent, last Saturday. He was employed as brakeman on a private railroad operated by the Codington Lumber company when the fatal accident occurred. Spokane has put a bar up against Sunday dances. W. H. Babcock has sold 2080 acres of Eureka Flat wheat land to Charles B. Rice for $44,000. This is the largest real estate transaction in Walla Walla for some time. OREGON ITEMS: An Oregonian special from Glendale, Ore., says that as the northbound Southern Pacific passenger train pulled out of Leland station Sunday two unknown men attempted to board the front end of the forward engine, missed their footing in some unknown manner and went under the train, instantly killing both of them. One man is supposed to be Al Fisher. Mr. and Mrs. Taal of Pendleton celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by a reception at their home. With a force so great that every window within three-quarters of a mile radius was shattered and the earth shaken in Portland, three miles away, so that the people believed that an earthquake had occurred, two of the tanks of the Union Oil company of California exploded at University Park, a suburb lying a few miles north of Portland on the Willamette river. One man, Leonard Jaqui, the night watchman, is missing and it is feared that he is dead. Both of the tanks were nearly empty, it being estimated that only 6000 barrels of oil were lost. This, with the damage to the tanks, will amount to about $15,000. MONTANA NEWS President Roosevelt has vetoed the Blackfoot reservation bill. The measure does not guarantee Indians the water rights, he says. It is possible that the attempted suicide of Mrs. Emma Harris, widow of Dr. E. C. Harris, who shot herself at Hamilton in the region of the heart and is expected to die, will result in revealing the facts of an old murder. Dr. Harris died about ten years ago of cramps, while living with Mrs. Harris, who was his third wife. In the district court at Butte recently the famous claim of Tom Hinds against the Boston & Montana Mining company for services as receiver for the properties of the company for four days, many years ago, was settled, and the application of Hinds for an allowance of fees dismissed by stipulation. What he got in the settlement is not made public. The erection of the Butte Labor Temple building will probably be started in the course of a couple of months and rushed towards completion. The lot which cost $15,000 and is located west of the library building on West Broadway, is almost free from debt. John F. McGuire, a pipeman in the employ of use Butte & London Mining company, operating east of Butte was killed by falling to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of about 110 feet. Oscar Stephens, according to his will, filed in the district court at Lewiston, left all of his $1,000,000 estate save about $140,000 to his nephew, Farnk Stephens, who assisted him in the management of his business for years, and who is believed to have won the fortune by his devotion to the interests of the dead man. Seven brothers and sisters of the deceased were left $1,000 apiece. Parade at Anaconda July 4 was the greatest in city's history. There was a mass meeting at the Butte court house at 3 o'clock Sunday noon, for the purpose of taking preliminary steps to the organization of a Young Men's Christian association in Butte. An examination of the records of the Butte city health office fails to show that a permit has ever been granted for the shipment from Butte to Portland of the body of one Nat Brown, a mining man supposed to have died in this city last week IDAHO NOTES. According to particulars of a revolver duel, near Oro Grande, M. R. ("Dog Joe") Mitchell, prospector and miner, was killed and Michael Sweeny of Spokane, brother of Charles Sweeny, the millionaire mine owner of that city, was slightly wounded. The conviction is growing that Sweeny acted on the defensive. Three hundred Nez Perce Indians are encamped at Lapwal for the summer religious camp meeting, which commenced with impressive services Thursday evening. About 50 tepees and 20 wall tents have been erected. Before the session closes there will be more than 2500 Indians present from all parts of the northwest. The senate has confirmed the nomination of Surveyor at Boise, Ernest Eggleston. Farmers from Bear Ridge and the Potlatch met recently and declined to merge the four farmers' telephone lines into one company with a central office at Kendrick. The four lines have about 400 subscribers and are not connected with either the Pacific States or the cooperative companies. Wallace at last is to have a daily morning paper—the Daily Times—the first issue appearing Tuesday. The Times is to supplant the semiweekly Idaho State Tribune, published there for two years under the management of D. C. Coates, the plant of which has been purchased by F. J. Whaley of Spokane, who is installing the Times. Judge George H. Stewart has sentenced William Hicks Bond to be hanged August 10 for the murder of Charles Daly. The crime was committed in Boise October 6, 1904, Mrs. Daly assisting. Bond was convicted April, 1905, and sentenced to hang. The supreme court recently affirmed the judgment and Bond was resentenced today. Mrs. Daly is serving a life sentence for her part in the murder. H. THAW WAS SWIFT HARRY HAS A RECORD AS FAST SPENDER OF MONEY. HARRY HAS A RECORD AS FAST SPENDER OF MONEY. His Family, Who Live in Pittsburg, Are Rich—Harry Was Black Sheep of Family—Few of His Escapades Given—Had to Go to Paris to Spend Money Fast Enough. Harry Thaw, slayer of Stanford White in New York recently, has a record as a spendthrift that few young men, or older men, for that matter, have equaled. Harry Thaw's family is among the most wealthy people of Pittsburg. His father was, at the time of his death, a multi-millionaire, who had made his millions out of manufacturing industries. Hundreds of the most valuable acres in and around Pittsburg belong to the Thaw family, says the Chicago Tribune. The Thaws are of Quaker origin, and most of the members of the family adhere to the traditional religion of the family. Harry Thaw has been, since his early youth, the black sheep of the family. When the elder Thaw came to dispose of his millions previous to his death he cut Harry off with $2500 a year because of his waywardness. Mrs. Thaw later remedied the discrepancy in the young man's financial expectations by making him an equal sharer with the other heirs in the estate, thus insuring him an annual income of $80,000. After he came into his patrimony through his mother's generosity Harry Thaw cut a wide swath in certain society circles of Pittsburg, New York, London and Paris. He was known as a spender before he left Pittsburg for New York. When he arrived at New York he set himself the task of maintaining his reputation and succeeded beyond even his expectations. Here are a few things he is accredited with doing after his arrival in New York: He raced a cab down Broadway in the middle of the day when Broadway was crowded from curb to curb. He threw a theatrical performance into a panic by throwing bottles at a soubrette who didn't sing to please him. He caused the proprietor to close up a famous night restaurant an hour earlier because he stood on a table and threw $5 bills to all the waiters. He went to the Waldorf one night, sat by himself at a magnificent table, and ordered a $50 dinner. When it was finished he sent for the chef and gave him $25. One night after the theater, when he found his cabman asleep, he got astride of the horse and drove the cab and the sleeping cabman through the most brilliantly lighted thoroughfares of New York. When a woman's eyes pleased him he would send a pair of rubies to match them, or emeralds, or sapphires, as the case might be. He made it a point never to tip a waiter less than $5, no matter what was served. Thaw couldn't spend his money fast enough in New York, and so sought a more expansive field for spectacular extravagance in Paris. He succeeded so well in the gay French capital that in a single night he sprang into fame. He gave a dinner in midsummer to about 25 women. It cost $50,000. It made Paris sit up and gasp. KANSAS SALOONS ARE CLOSED. Bars Put Out of Business by Authori ties. Every saloon in Kansas City, Kan., was tightly closed Saturday and at the club houses of the Elks and Eagles no liquor was sold. Assistant Attorney General Trickett's threat to destroy the buildings used as joints has proven effective. During the night the bar fixtures and stocks of liquors were removed from many places to the Missouri side. A dozen saloons in the suburbs of Armourdale, Argentine and Rosedale still remain open, but they may eventually be closed. These latter were operated by a Missouri brewing company now in the hands of a receiver, and Assistant Attorney General Trickett wished to feel his way before acting against them. The fixtures from one saloon owned by this company has been destroyed by the sheriff, however, notwithstanding threats of the owner to secure a restraining order from the federal court. Victories for Palma. The election for deputies passed off very quietly at Colon Sunday. The government candidates were successful by a majority of 290 votes. The elections at Panama passed off quietly. The compromise ticket was elected. Wo Gen, manager of the Wa Chong company, Seattle, and one of the wealthiest Chinese merchants of the northwest, is to be deported. He made a trip to China recently to patch up the trade relations, and did a great deal toward alleviating conditions caused by the boycott. When he returned a few days ago he was found to have a dread eye disease and was placed in the quarantine detention station at Port Townsend. Powerful influences have been brought to bear to nullify the order, but without avail. The rambling preacher seldom hits the green pastures. 8PORTING NEWS. Harvard's varsity crew triumphed over Yale at New London Friday before the greatest crowd that ever gathered there on a race day. Harvard won, but Yale rowed a race that will long live in the annals of college sports. Not only from the start, but until the last sixteenth of a mile did the shells cease to lap each other. The men in the rival boats could see each other for more than three miles and a half, as first one coxswain and then the other called on his crew. Harvard won the race by less than two lengths and a half. Her time was 23:02; Yale's 23:11. While the crews had the tide with them they had a brisk quartering wind, which made fast time impossible. The record for the course is 20:10, made by Yale in 1888. The race between Harvard and Yale crews was the 40th that has been rowed between the two big universities, and the score between the two now stands: Harvard 18, Yale 22. The first race was rowed in 1852 and was won by Harvard. In the last 20 years, however, Yale has won all but four races, Harvard winning in 1885, 1891, 1899 and 1906. The record time over the four mile course at New London is 20:10, made by Yale in 1888. Gordon Glass, a son of Chester Glass, and for most of his boyhood and young manhood a resident of Spokane, was a member of the victorious Harvard crew, rowing in No. 5. Glass is in his sophomore year at Harvard. He was the only westerner in the Harvard boat. Yale's representative crews in the regatta with Harvard last Thursday were two of them heavier than the Crimson, but her varsity was the lightest that has sat the shell in years. Harvard had 58 more pounds in her regular boat than Yale, or an average of about seven pounds more to the man. Yale's varsity eight averaged $168\frac{1}{2}$ pounds, while that of Harvard was $175\frac{1}{2}$ pounds. Rarely has Yale sent a varsity eight which weighs less than an average of 170 pounds to the man into the big race. Sometimes the crews average up to 175 pounds. To the offer made by the governors of Coney Island Jocky Club to set aside a plot of ground on the property of that organization at Sheepshead Bay as a permanent grave for the famous race horse, Syssony, which died last Sunday, and to erect a memorial stone. Syssony's owner, James R. Keene, has replied thanking the club officers for their courtesy but stating that he has not decided definitely what disposition shall be made of Syssony's body. Kid Parker has been matched to fight Maurice Thompson at Burke, Idaho, July 12. Kamiah, Idaho, claims the distinction of having the most unique of the winning ball teams of the West. The local team is made up of six Indians and three white men, with the Indians holding down most of the important positions. With a four weeks' play on their own ball grounds, the Spokane Indians have arrived some and opened a series with Butte at Recreation park on the morning of the Glorious Fourth. David Ellington of New York won the title of world's champion telegraph operator and the silver trophy offered by Andrew Carnegie at the international tournament of telegraphers held at Tremont temple in Boston recently.

FEARFUL WRICK OF PASSENGER TRAIN NEAR LONDON. Special Train Bound for London Jumps the Rails—Strikes a Freight, then Crashes into Bridge, where Passenger Car Is Splintered—Dead Number Twenty-three. London, J.ly 2.—The American line special, carrying 45 passengers who had debarked Saturday night from the steamer N York, from New York, June 23, was wrecked at Salisbury, eight miles from London, at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Twenty-three passengers were killed and seven injured. Following is the list of the first cab in passengers dead: Elphicke, Mrs. C. W. Chicago. Harring, Dudley, 316 West Ninety-seventh street, New York. Hitchcock, Mrs. L. N., 261 Central Park West, New York. Park West, Howeson, Miss Mary F., 31 West Thirty-first street, New York. King, Rev. E. L., Toronto, Ont. Koch, Frank W. Allentown, Pa. McDonald, John E., New York. McMeekin, F. C., New York City. Pipon, C. A., Toronto, Ont. Sentell, Mrs. C. E. W., New York City. Sentell, Miss Gertrude M., New York City. Smith, Mrs. Dayton, Ohio. Smith, Miss Eleanor, Dayton, Ohio. Smith, Gerard, Dayton, Ohio. White, Mrs. Lillian Hurd, 424 Fifth avenue, New York. The following second cabin passengers are dead: Geopinger, Louis, address unknown. Keeler, Jules, address unobtainable. Thompson, W.iam, address unobtainable. The following are the first cabin passengers injured: Allen, G. H. V., New York City. Critchell, Robert S., Chicago. Griswold, Miss L. S., Address unobtainable. Hitchcock, Miss M., New York City. Koch, Mrs., Allentown, a. Koch, Miss Anna, Allentown, Pa. The following second cabin passenger was injured: The train had passed the sa...sbury street platform at very high speed. At a sharp curve just outside of town the locomotive jumped the track and, plowing up the railings, crashed into a westbound freight train. The engine mounted the girders of the railway bridge over the river Avon and turned turtle. There were three passenger coaches in the train. The first of these shot ahead of the locomotive and crashed into the railroau bridge and was smashed into splinters, portions of the wreck being hurled completely over the bridge. The second and third passengers were toppled over on the line and completely destroyed. The conductor's van, containing a cook's kitchen, was saved by the conductor, who promptly applied the brakes. Rescue parties set out working instantly, but to little purpose, and the injured were forced to remain buried in the debris a long time. As the bodies of the dead were extricated they were laid in rows on the station platform awaiting identification. All the physicians in Salisbury were summoned and devoted themselves to attending the wounded. The body of the engineer was found on top of the firebox charred beyond recognition. It was necessary to saw away part of the compartments of the railway coaches in order to release the survivors and to secure the bodies of the dead. In one compartment all of the passengers except two were killed and the rescue of the survivors was exceedingly difficult. The injured were later removed to Salisbury infirmary. The late hour of the New York's arrival at Plymouth saved many lives. She carried more than 60 travelers for London, but many of them elected to travel on comfortably to Southampton in preference to the late landing at Plymouth and the long night ride across the country. If the New York had made a faster passage the somber roster of the dead and injured would have been larger. The big American line steamer reached Plymouth at 9:35 o'clock Sunday night, and half an hour later there was a tender alongside to receive passengers for England. Several who had planned to debark and had packed their baggage decided at the last moment to remain aboard. It was a fateful decision, though not dictated by any fear. The run across the Atlantic had been pleasant. There were cheery partitions when the passengers for London transferred to the waiting tender, which steamed for the Davenport landing, where the express was being made up. The train consisted of a powerful express engine, three first class carriages and one combination guards' van and buffet. The passengers were soon entrained, and at 11:30 the express pulled out. It was given a clear track on the run of 230 miles to London, on which the express generally maintains an average speed of a mile a minute. MRS. TANNER FATALLY HURT Wife of Commander of the G. A. R. Died at Helena, Montana Died at Helena, Mont., Saturday. A sad accident occurred at Helena, Mont., whereby Mrs. James Tanner, wife of the National commander of the G. A. R., lost her life. The commander and his wife were on a trip of inspection to the G. A. R. posts throughout the west, and were being entertained by the veterans at Helena Saturday afternoon General and Mrs. Tanner, Mrs. Governor Toole of Montana and General Lester Wilson of Bozeman, Mont., were out for an automobile ride, when the auto was accidentally run over the edge of a hill and capsized. Mrs. Tanner was picked up unconscious and died shortly afterward. On account of the accident General Tanner has canceled his western engagements and will leave at once with the remains of his wife for Washington, D. C. The following came from the president: "Am inexpressibly shocked and grieved. Accept my sincere sympathy. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." MINING NOTES. What is claimed by old mining men of the Coeur d'Alene section to be the richest strike of gold ever made has just been reported from the ters around one James Fairchild—the Pilot group of claims, almost adjoining Murray. The strike consists of 18 inches of phenomenally rich gold quartz. However narrow or wide the vein may prove to be, the samples of the ore exhibited bear out even the most sanguine reports from the mine. No genuine assays of it have been made. The vein was encountered at a depth of 175 feet, 420 feet in the tunnel being driven on the property. The Pilot group is owned by John Docktor, Frank Frohling and Louis Prager. It has been discovered and worked for 14 years, but this is the first strike of any moment ever made on the ground. Heretofore all surface labor in the mines of the Boundary, B. C., has been at the rate of $3 for a day of 10 hours. Hereafter, in the mines of Phoenix, at least, the pay will be the same, but the day will consist of nine hours. This went into effect last week at the Granby mines, and Manager Drummond of the Dominion Copper company states that the same rule will obtain in his company's mines after the celebration holiday, or on July 4. Only three weeks more and the once famous Frisco mine at the camp at Gem, Idaho, will be working full blast, announces one of the head employees of the company. At that time the company will commence work sinking a 200 foot shaft from its 2000 foot level and before long the Frisco, long dormant, will be once more on a dividend paying basis. The Boun.ary, B. C., mines output for this week will exceed last week by just 2000 tons. Total treatment for week 23,101 tons. Total treatment for year to date 635,510 tons. Corroborative reports have been received regarding the phenomenal strike on the west fork of the Kettle river which exposed big bodies of silver ore a few days ago on Wallace mountain in which cobalt has been found. It was first thought that the Duncan mine, where the first samples were found, was the only property having these values, but recent careful prospecting has disclosed the fact that considerable virgin ground on Wallace mountain possesses cobalt. The average assays of the silver ore taken from these recent rich strikes was $125 a ton. According to Manager Groesbeck, Beartop mill, Murray, has been entirely remodeled and a new concentrating table was put into operation. The Beartop mill has been running only half the time, but beginning today it will be run full time. Herbert Aurbach, manager of the Golden Chest mine at Murray has completed a thorough examination and announces that within a short time operations will be resumed. Ted Mueller, representing the Chicago owners, has just put a force of men on the Don Pedro, a near neighbor to the Crescent and a promising claim near Greenwood, B. C. Four men were precipitated to the bottom o. a 400 foot shaft of the Roanoke Coal & Mining company at Roanoke, Ill., Sunday night, and instantly killed. The miners were working on a scaffolding below the surface, and when the structure gave way the men dropped 400 feet. Settle San Francisco Losses.

Brydle The Paint and Wall Paper Man, 906 and 908 sprague Ave., Spokane, Wash Mob at Chickasha, Indian Territory; Captures Wretch after a Long Chase—Is Identified by Victim—He Voluntarily Confesses and Is Dragged to a Handy Tree and Executed Chickasha, I. T., July 3.—A negro who committed a criminal assault upon the 16 year old daughter of Ira Robertson near Womack was captured and after being taken back to the scene of his crime was hanged and burned near the spot where he committed the crime. He confessed his crime and offered no resistance to the mob. To one person the negro gave his name as Cliff Mays of Marshall, Texas, and he told another that it was Will Newbright of San Antonio. By the time the negro was overtaken near Bradley fully 400 men had joined in the chase and soon after the capture the march to Womack began. When the Robertson home was reached and the negro was brought before the assaulted girl she said at once: "That's the one," and the negro replied: "Yes lady, I'm the one. Gentlemen, I admit the crime." The mob then proceeded with their victim past the spot where he had committed his crime and to a tree in the road on the bank of Walnut creek, where a rope was thrown over a limb about 18 feet high and the other end knotted about the man's neck. He was given an opportunity to speak and again he confessed his guilt; and after a fervent prayer to God for forgiveness he was drawn into the air to die by strangulation. Before life was extinct the body was lowered to the ground, logs and brush were heaped upon it and the mass ignited. For a moment the body writhed, a few groans were heard and the flames completed their work. Two hours later the charred body was buried uncer the same tree, under direction of a deputy marshal from Purcell, who had been thwarted in his efforts to take the negro from the mob. Miss Robertson's condition is not serious. TORNADO STRIKE$ CIRCUS TENT Ringling Bros. Tent Went Down—Two Killed. Two persons were killed and several injured at Aurora, Ill., when an enormous tent at Ringling Brothers' circus was blown down during a severe wind and thunder storm. A panic followed, in which scores narrowly escaped being trampled to death. Eighteen elephants, performing in the arena at the time, were prevented from stampeding by the prompt action of their keepers. The dead are: Matthew Bury, Aurora, who was struck by a falling tent pole. William Cress, Danville, Ill. Cress died from heart failure, due to the shock. Three women are among those severely injured. There were 5000 spectators in the tents at the time of the accident. When the crash came the performing elephants had just begun their act. The first gust of wind gave but an instant's warning, and the next moment the center pole supporting the canvas roof snapped near the top. The audience was composed largely of women and children. They were unable to lift the heavy canvas. Egress was slow at the regular exits, and it was in the crush at these points that many were injured. Rescue work by the police and fire departments was under way within 20 minutes. The storm, which approached the proportion of a tornado, damaged many buildings in Aurora and vicinity. DRAWING FOR LANDS CROW INDIAN RESERVATION Billings, Mont., July 3.—The drawing for lands on the Crow Indian reservation began at 9 a. m. here Monday. Number 1 was drawn by O. D. Williams, a section foreman of Custer, Mont. The drawing proceeded with remarkable rapidity. About 2300 names were drawn. Gerald O'Grady, Edward Becker and Horace Williston, boys, were chosen from the crowd to draw the numbers from the big wheel, resembling a big churn. The tickets were placed in the box and thoroughly mixed by several turns of the wheel. Mrs. Joseph Artery of Butte was the first woman to draw. She got number 26. A Brown of Atlanta, Ga., who drew No. 587, was the most remote resident to draw. Scenic Railway Trip Kills. "I would not take that trip again for $1000," said J. W. Sholley, district attorney of Bucks county, as he emerged from one of the cars of the scenic railway "over the mountain," at Willow Grove park, Philadelphia. He took a few steps forward, said he felt faint, and fell in the arms of friends. A physician was quickly summoned, but before he arrived Mr. Sholley was dead. The doctor said his heart had been affected. Mr. Sholley occupied a prominent position at the bar of the state and was widely known. He was unmarried. In Germany there are 54 mountain-neering clubs with a total membership of 142,603. Delicate Operation Is Performed on a Man. Applying to surgery the axiom that "While there is life there is hope," surgeons in Washington Heights hospital, New York City, placed Weener Koch, aged 32, on the operating table. But there was so little left in Koch that the surgeons felt that work was well nigh futile. Koch entered his home a week ago sought his bed without arousing any of the family and was found unconscious by his mother on the morning of June 20. Efforts to arouse him were unsuccessful. Examination disclosed no wounds on Koch's body, and there were no symptoms of drug or alcoholic poisoning. Day by day he grew weaker. He was taken to a hospital, where a slight depression in the skull was discovered and an operation performed. Removing a small area of the skull a blood clot was found. As more of the skull was cut away, the clot was seen to be extended, and it was soon found to cover a six-inch surface of the brain. It was speedily and simply removed, and doctors were still at work when Koch opened his eyes, drew in a deep breath and sat bolt upright upon the table. Quickly but feebly he told of receiving a blow on the head. Two hours after Koch had come to life on the operating table detectives brought to the station two men who admitted being with Koch. They were arrested on his description. Koch is in a fair way of recovering. Favors Portland & Seattle Vancouver, Wash., July 5. —A decision in favor of the Portland & Seattle railroad and against the Columbia Valley railway has been rendered by Judge W. W. McCreedie of the state district court in the case involving the right of way down the north bank of the Columbia river. The Columbia valley road is, however, to be allowed to construct a line over the Portland & Seattle's right of way, providing it does so within a reasonable time. The case will be appealed. The suit grew out of an attempt on the part of the Portland & Seattle's right to condemn a right of way over lands belonging to the Columbia Valley road. A defense was set up that the property had already been dedicated to railway purposes and condemnation proceedings could not lie against it. The Portland & Seattle attacked the good faith of the Columbia Valley road, decaring that it merely was endeavoring to obstruct the Portland & Seattle in the construction of its railroad. Both companies are at present actively constructing railroads down the north bank of the Columbia. C. E.

Wilberforce is counectioned school under the supervision of the A.M. E. church, Allof the bishops and general officers of the connec- tion and bishops and elders of va- rious religious denominations were in attendance, as well as the most of the state leaders of Ohio and other states. Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington and Bishop Geo. W. Clinton were among the orators from the south. Rey. Dr. Oscar J. W. Scott, of Wichita, Kansas, was also pres-| ont. Wilberforce university paid a high honor to William 'T. Vernon by conferring on him the degree of LL.D, which had been secretly reserved as a surprise to him.—Ex. On the front page of the Patriot Phalanx, the organ of the Pro- hibitionist in this city, are these words: | “There is only one party that proposes todo something for every man, Woman and child, black and white, rich and poor, native and foreign born on our shores, and that . is the Prohibition perty. It pro- poses to make all better by destroy- ing that which makes all worse; by making the poor richer; and the rich safer, and all happier.”—The Freeman. Hell lies near us, all around us. This world is the hardest for every man whose liberties are math= lessly stolen from him. To be a slave means hell to every cour- ageous man, and deliverance from bondage of any kind is the begin- ning of man’s heaven upon earth. With his right to vote taken away, he statute books full of untested. aws, to be executed by prejudiced urors the Negro does not sit down n heavenly places anywhere in his American country. He has as nuch of hell here as he can stand, It is to be hoped, therefore that he vill have -no more of it when he eaves these mundane shores. Thirty-eight years ago Hampton Institute started out with fifteen Negro students and fifteen Indian prisoners of war.

After a star chamber proceeding by the police committee of the city council, at which the parties con- cerned were not permitted to be faced by their accusers, they re- ported to the council at their regu: lar meeting Monday night, that for the good of the city, the license to the Zanzibar saloon be withheld. which action was of course upheld bya vote of 13 to 1; the one dis- senting vote being that of Dr. B.C Brooke a democrat, and by this action the Ben Tillman of the city council ( Lissner) and the Indepen- dent, were upheld. Had the committee been fairand ziven these men a show and it had been proven that they conducted a 'place which was what the accuser said it was, we would have 524 amen and applauded their «forts to suppress it, just as we would a. other places improperly couduct- ed. But this was not the case and we verily believe that they hav: discriminated and catered to a seut- iment which has been foisted o” them by Lissner and his ilk backed up by one or two lily white repub- licans. ‘The theory of giving every man a square deal has been throw: to the winds and valuable rights hav been taken from men without a fair trial; they have been railroaded as it were out of business. There were some few fairminded men in the council, however, wo believe in giving every man a square deal, yet when a con:inittee is appointed and their report is sub- mitted, nobody asarule will go ayainst their report. But, Dr. Brooke, regardless of their report, presistently stuck t what he believed to be right in tle premises and voted NO, to the com- mittee’s recommendation, and we believe in this action he has the re- spect and commendation of cvcry- body who believes im a s.U ARE DEAL FOR ALL.

There is a somewhat ancient lesson contained in. the, following from the New York World, but it Is so excel- lent that the story is produced bere : “Don't advertise if you believe you are wasting money. Let your com- petitor waste his money on advertis ing, and perhaps in this way you'll soon put him out of business. Just stand back and laugh at him when you see him squandering his money for printers’ ink. Once there was a boy named,—we think his last name was Wanamaker, or maybe Money- maker; anyhow, his name was John, with some sort of a maker attached yards of calico, three pairs of jeans, and a half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goods store through a Philadelphia newspaper, and off- ered to sell a pair of socks for 39 cents, The don’t-belleve-in-advertis- ing just laughed. Young John spent vertise just one time, and not less than $100 worth of goods. He was cau- tioned by the merchants who ‘knew it didn’t pay.’ It was through sym- pathy that they offered him advice.
