Watch the next issue of the PLAINDEALER; we are priming our 13 inch guns. --- The old adage, that it is a long laue that has no turn, is a true one but the turn is so far off some time as to make one fatigued to reach the turn. --- Word reaches the editor of the editor of the PLAINDEALER who is out of the city this week, that the present city administration has demanded the official head of police officer William Irvin, but as we are not on the ground to hear of the cause of his forced resignation, we refrain from comment at this time, though it is more than passing strange that they would ask for the resignation at this time of one who is undoubtedly the most efficient and courteous officer on the force. At long range we can conceive of no cause unless it be in keeping with the Ben Tillman and lilly white ideas which seem to permeate the present powers that be, at this time. PROGRESS Despite the attitude of those like the Independent, who have ears to hear only of the ignoble deeds of our race, right here in Montana we can point to a few achievements of the race which speak volumes, considering our opportunities. In Helena they largely own their own homes, mining properties, business concerns, ete. In Butte they are acquiring homes and are engaged in business enterprises. In Bozeman every colored family in that city owns their own home, and one, Mrs. Lewis, owns thousands of dollars' worth of the best properties in the city bedside her own home, which is one of the finest in Montana. At Virginia City a colored woman owns the entire waterworks system of the city and manages the same with the assistance of her son to the entire satisfaction of her patrons and the city at large --- A Dignified Journal. The Montana Daily Record deserves the great popularity it has gained throughout this section of the country, and so long as it continues along the same lines that it is now conducted, it will of a natural consequence out distance all competitors in this daily journalistic field. It is edited in a dignified and able manner, catering to no class, but upholding the doctrine of the highest citizenship, and in the same way and in no uncertain sound, advocates the principles of republicanism. It's columns are free of abuse toward any class, race or individual, it's policy is too broad for that, flings and lay sermons calculated to engender race hatred and prejudices, find their way even in their news columns, let alone their editorial page. It is just what it should be, a newspaper for the people, broad-guaged, up-to-date, clean and withal a dignified, newsy journal, which the masses of the people appreciate and will always uphold. A Hearty Welcome for Bishop Grant. The visit of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Abram Grant to Butte and Helena in August should be an epoch making event by our people, and they should begin now to interest themselves to make his welcome a hearty and cordial one. He is a great man whose whole soul and life is bent on the uplift of his race and there is no individual who has accomplished more for his people than this venerable Bishop. The great Northwest is to be highly honored by his presence, for his council and advice. We most cordially ask our white friends who stands for a higher citizenship to out and hear this eminent divine and we assure them they will not be disappointed. We sincerely trust that those having in charge the entertainment of the Bishop during his sojourn in Butte and Helena will do their utmost to make his stay as pleasant as we know it shall be profitable. POEITICAL SNAPSHOP Police Judge Warren of Butte is a great sympathizer of the colored contingent in this country, and says the treatment accorded them in many places should bring the blush of shame to every patriotic citizen. In our travels over the State we find that it is the concensus of opinion that the declaration of Senator Clark that he will not ask for a re-election is not sincere, and that he will eventnally bob up as a formidable candidate. The Republican leaders in general over the State believe that Congressman Dixon can accomplish more for the State in the House of Representatives than any other man that it would be possible for them to elect. It is announced that the Hon. F. Augustus Heinze will sail for Europe on the 15th; but that he will return, however, before the fall election. Wonder what for? Only about six weeks and the political pot will begin to boil. Congressman J. M. Dixon arrived at his home in Missoula from Washington Sunday. He reports that the past Congress has accomplished more work than any session for 32 years. Lissner, the local Ben Tillman, and the lily white Republicans with whom he conspired for the downfall of a pair of colored boys who dared run the same kind of business as himself, evidently advocate the "hat under your arm" system in so far as the colored brother is concerned. It is a great consolation to know, however, that there yet remains in the capital city, so few staunch and stalwart Republicans who can be depended on at all times and all occasions to do what is right; and when in office give all a square deal regardless of the advice of Tillmanites and The Independent. Deputy Sheriff Bossler was in Butte last week on business for the Sheriff's office. The office of the County Treasurer of Lewis and Clarke is a very attractive one, and it is rumored that some of the aspirants for political emoluments, cannot decide just what position they shall try for. JOB WORK JOB Helena, Montana, Friday, July 13, 1906. THE STORY OF THE KILLING OF SITTING BULL'S SON. Which was Accomplished by John Anderson, colored, of Bozeman, one of Gallatin County's Most Respected Citizens—Rare Bravery Displayed—Amid a Rainstorm of Bullets he Goes Into The Very Jaws of Death and Takes the Scalp of Sitting Bull Jr. No story of bravery and of courting death at the hands of the pesky redskins by the pioneer scouts have excelled the record of John Anderson of Bozeman. He is a natural born fighter, and even unto today he holds the record in the Gallatin Valley for his prowess as a hunter of the wild game which abounds so plentifully in the mountains adjacent to the fertile valley of the Gallatin. The publisher of THE PLAINDEALER heard the confirmation of this story from Mr. Anderson's own lips, and the scalp of Sitting Bull, Jr., which is at the apartments of Mr. Bogart is still a silent witness to the hair-raising encounter on this occasion were less than one hundred and fifty in our party, and what to do and how but a moment's thought. We must retreat, and go it in a hurry. "All but twelve backed into a kind of draw or gully, out of sight of the red devils, who still held the top of the hill in magnificent alignment. The Chief drew away from his men and rode the war circle in our front, bearing to the right and nearing our squad of twelve. Defiantly he galloped to the left and cut in directly towards us, shouting that demoniacal shout so common then. "The rest of our men retreated down the draw, and as they dis- Mr. Anderson informed us that he disposed of the shirt and cap of the Indian Chief some years ago for $300, and had been offered $1,000 for the scalp, but that he would never need money badly enough to sell it. This encounter was along about '74 in the Rosebud and Tongue River Country, which was a perilous time in Montana's history. The following is the story told by an eye-witness of the killing of the son of the famous Sioux Chief, Sitting Bull: "It was a beautiful day, and our party had planned a trip into the hills where we thought gold could be found. We had been surveying the country in a roundabout way THE KITCHEN THE KITCHEN IS THE PLACE Where Comfort Begins in the The Chief of All the Articles in Use is the Stove.

It was midday, and the sun shone in tropical splendor, still it was not hot,—travel was not tedious or inconvenient. numbers. We were a place, and after the sized our utterly defection. "But now that we the Indian Chief (we first he had been killed But there is nothing certain in times like those, and while we exulted over the glorious possibilities which lay before us, a cloud of dust arose in the distance over the brow of a hill, and we guessed the cause of it. Before an expression could be put into words, a swarm of Indians appeared on the brow of the low hill. The leader exercised a wonderful influence over his men, and by a mere wave of his hand the entire division of the Sitting Bull's Rosebud Army halted. One by one, and in pairs, and in fours and squads the full strength of the army gradually presented itself to our view. There were less than one hundred and fifty in our party, and what to do and how but a moment's thought. We must retreat, and go it in a hurry. "All but twelve backed into a kind of draw or gully, out of sight of the red devils, who still held the top of the hill in magnificent alignment. The Chief drew away from his men and rode the war circle in our front, bearing to the right and nearing our squad of twelve. Defiantly he galloped to the left and cut in directly towards us, shouting that demoniacal shout so common then. "The rest of our men retreated down the draw, and as they disappeared they continued to call to us to follow. Why we did not follow is a mystery explainable only, perhaps, by that dominant desire to kill an Indian. "There was no command,—it was as if the invisible hand had signaled for action, and simultaneously twelve shots rang out. The Indian Chief fell. Still, the army, budged not a foot,—it was resting upon the crest of the hill. Probably ignorance of our position and strength held the Indians in check, for they did not essay to take up the war cry. Our men had disappeared down the draw, but were still within earshot range of our action. As we fired, we sank back into a coule and expected an attack momentarily from the overwhelming IS THE PLACE the Stove. Money, You can Save numbers. We were in a tight place, and after the shots we realized our utterly defenseless position. "But now that we had disabled the Indian Chief (we thought at first he had been killed), it was our desire and determination at all hazards to take his scalp away with us. He lay motionless upon the ground. His horse was nearby by eating good bunch grass. Anderson was first to notice his first move,—the Chief raised his head slightly as if trying to signal an order to his men. Anderson raised his head over the top of the little mound behind which we lay, and a terrific shower of bullets literally harrowed the ground directly in front of us. "We consulted hastily and agreed to run the gauntlet, and escape if possible. But Anderson declared that he would take that Household. We want 20 First Class Colored Performers.

Indian's scalp if he died in the attempt, and with a bound he sprang towards the dying Chief, who lay but a few paces ahead of us; he ran like a demon, and the bullets pecked the earth all round about him. He shouted to the Chief, who raised his arm, and dropped it into his pistol holster; in a flash he whipped out the gun and we could hear the clicking of the hammer as it was brought up for action. But before he could bring it into play, Anderson had driven his dirk into the breast of Sitting Bull's son. He ripped the front of that red Chief from his heart clear down to his ablomen. "The bullets continued to hail about him, and we continued to shout at the now almost insane Anderson to retreat and follow us out of range of what looked like sure death. "No retreat for Anderson. He crouched behind the bleeding corpse, and the bullets peppered the ground like shot from a tower. He tugged and hauled and shouted like mad and swore defiance at the bloodthirsty reds, who by the way retained their positions, not advancing a foot, but continued to fire in rapidly recurring volley. "For a hundred feet Anderson carried the limp corpse, backing down towards us holding his dead enemy in front as a sort of shield for his own unpunctured hide. When he reached the draw he was as bloody as the man he had disembowelled. He was a terrible looking sight, but he smiled and seemed to enjoy it to the limit. ItWillPayYou ItWillPayYou Arthur P.

It was a magnificent bonnet, a fine piece of Indian workmanship; a veritable war bonnet, one like you read about. He had indeed earned the prize. "With the trophies in our saddle bags we disappeared down the draw and were soon with our main party. A mile down the depression we saw the chief's army, but we did not wait to learn which trail they took, for we hastened down the river, and thus another escape was effected."

That Cajun Robert E. Penny has sacrificed his life in the effort to discover the north pole is the fear of naval men, who are worried by the failure to get any writings of the ship Erossevel, which sailed for the Arctic regions July 26, 1866. Four prominent British Colonial Indian chiefs have started for London, England, to lay before King Edward their grievances against the white men, "who have taken away their lands and interfered with the fishing and hunting rights of their mothers."

Acting upon the recommendation of the board of Pennsylvania railway directors member to investigate the stock ownership by employees of the company, President Cassius recently issued a general order to all employees acquiring them to dispose of all mining stocks which they may have acquired. ICOMANS HATE TO GIVE UP PASS. Forego Them. Iowa is having a strange experience with her antipass law, which went into effect July 4. The law forms the acceptance of free passes by all public officials and delegates to political conventions. The result is that public officials and delegates to conventions are threatening to design their positions by the score all over the state. They announce that the pass is of more value to them than the office and amounts thereof. The mayor of Dana, one of the largest towns on the Northwestern coast, has designed. This will necessitate calling a special election in a considerable cost to managers. Valuable Diamonds Shipped New York, July 11.—Shouting in two nicks at the point of a swimmer and getting away with $1500 worth of diamonds, a mild mannered young man robbed the jewelry store of P. Fenderson in 1832 Broadway, Brooklyn. The thief took about 30 rings, put them in his coat pocket and back out of the door. He then forced down the street, while Emilea flashed to the door shouting "stop thief." The young man jumped into a halfway and escaped through the rear of a mugging building.

FATAL TRAGEDY IN SEATTLE Seattle, Wash. July 11.—Murder in the first degree will be the charge against Chester Thompson 20 years old of WILL E. Thompson of this city, who shot Judge G. Maude Emory to death at his home Saturday night. Sunday it was discovered that one bullet from young Thompson's swimmer went clear through the body from left to right, entering a few minutes below the amputation and performing both lungs. Judge Emory literally tied to death from this wound, his preeminence being unable to stop the hemorrhages, which were both internal and external and very severe. Judge Emory gave to his former law partner, Daniel Calebler, a complete statement of the events prior to the shooting. "Saturday evening at dinner time, Chester Thompson called up my home by telephone and talked to Charlotte Wittlesey, my niece, with whom he was desperately in love. He asked per mission to call in Charlotte. She told him she could not see him as she was going out for the evening. Moreover, she had told Chester she flipt not wish his attentions. Some little time later Chester again called up my home. This time, at Charlotte's request, I answered the telephone and talked with the girl. I told him that Charlotte flipt not wish him come to the house again, nor flipt I wish him to continue his attentions. He replied: "Oh, no, you do not want me to come to see her." "This was in a time of some inducing bitter hostility to me. That ended the conversation. As your later Chester came running up the steps to our house. He entered the hall, passing Mr. and Mrs. Kern, my wife and myself on the porch. Instantly I jumped to my feet and followed him. Then he turned and shot me down." It is clear when Thompson entered the house of Judge Emory is was for the purpose of begging Charlotte Whitlessey to make up with him and possibly to kill her and then himself if she accused. The plan of the defense will be insanity, based upon the mad infatuation of the accused youth for Charlotte Whitlessey and also on his excessive actions during the past two years. Mrs. Thompson, mother of the murderer, is slowly dying, and any shout would result in her immediate death. She scarcely notices the going and coming of her family. Life holds but another mouth for her, and stresses of fears are being made to keep the news of Chester's crime from her. The son was arrested, scarcely home for meals because he was a health food advocate and his family are meat eaters, and because he sought the softness of the woods. For this reason Mrs. Thompson will not miss his absence. Naval Employee Dept. Naval Constructor J. K.

Washington Water Power Company of Spokane is reported as going to Extend Line from Westclair Lake West—Largest Stockholder Investigating Resources of Route. Spokane, July 3—Extension of the Median Lake line of the Washington Water Power company into the Big Sand country is a possibility, according to W. S. White of New York of the firm of W. S. & S. M. White industries, who has been in the district several times looking into the feasibility of the proposition. Mr. White is one of the largest investors of stock in the Washington Water Power company. It is understood from Mr. White's comments that in the event a line of that character is seriously compromised and plans are made for actual work in that direction, the company will endeavor to exempt immediate earnings by carrying a transmission line along with the railroad for the purpose of supplying the small towns with power, as well as individuals. It is also understood that the present Medical Lake line will be the basis of the extension, and that it will proceed from that point directly into the Big Sand country. Just how far the company proposed to run, what towns it expected to reach and how much and what part of the big wheat country the Washington Water Power company has its eyes upon Mr. White would not say. Downtown and the towns and country between there and Spokane are the parts of the territory that are most available and most easily accessed by an electric line, and would unoubtedly be the first terminal of a line of any consequence. It is not impolite that an effort would be made to settle in between the Central Washington and the Great Northern, where a large area is both an considerable distance from both caviage lines.

The cause was infatuation for Charlotte Whittlesey, niece of the stricken man, who had denied his attentions and then asked her uncle that her admirer be denied admittance should he desire to see her. Judge Emery was shot down on his own threshold while attempting to restrain Thompson from entering the residence. Two electric cars on the Point challenge line at Tacoma were in a head-on collision Sunday and five passengers and one employee were injured.

PETERSBURG Police and Cossacks Were Driven Back—Lieutenant Tom Addressed 2000 People and Was Thrown into Jail—Six Newspapers Put Out of Business. St. Petersburg, July 10.—Political demonstrations during which the crowds carried red flags and sang revolutionary songs occurred in many places in St. Petersburg Sunday afternoon and night, necessitating the interference of police and military patrols. Street cars were held up and their occupants were compelled to uncover and salute the red flag. The most serious affair happened near the Moscow railroad, where an officer, later identified as Lieutenant Tom, made a revolutionary speech to a crowd of 2000 people. A detachment of police attempted to disperse the assemblage, but the people armed themselves with stones dug from the streets and beat off the police and a squadron of Cossacks. Eventually the Cossacks were reinforced and fired a blank volley in the air, whereupon the rioters fled to a neighboring court. Only a few persons were slightly hurt. Lieutenant Tom was arresteed and taken to the fortress. A meeting addressed by orators from a window of the constitutional democratic club was dispersed by gendarmes, during which several persons were wounded with sabres and a performance at the People's palace was broken up, the audience singing the Marseillaise, as they dispersed. The guards on the mailwagons are now armed with rifles owing to the increasing number of attacks made upon these vehicles. Six newspapers of this city have been confiscated. Land lords from the provinces where argyarian disorders are occurring are flocking into Moscow and St. Petersburg, appealing for troops to protect their property without which they declare it is impossible for them to live on their estates. Some of the papers regard General Trepoff's pronouncement in favor of a ministry composed of constitutional democrats as sham deathbed repentence, designed to give the emperor and court a breathing spell, while others consider it to be a confirmation of the report that Trepoff has fallen from favor and is trimming his sails to the prevailing breezes. The holy synod has issued strict instructions forbidding the printing establishments of monasteries from publishing political tracts or in any way taking sides in the present struggle.

Hannah Elias, the negress who while mistress of senile John R. Platt got $685,000 from him and who was the central figure in sensational legal proceedings when Platt tried to recover his money, has given one of the choice residence districts of Harlem, New York, a rude shock. She has purchased two fine apartment houses, turned out 30 white families and invited negroes to become tenants. The color line is drawn very firmly in New York residence districts and Mrs. Eilas' invasion undoubtedly means the entire block will ultimately be given over to negroes, as the values of property will deteriorate and the whites will all move out. Secretary Hitchcock has approved contracts amounting all told to $50,000, representing the cost of the survey of the south half of the Colville Indian reservation. Actual surveying work should commence within three weeks. There are about 1,300,000 acres of land on the reservation to be surveyed. The average cost of survey per acre will be 5 cents. An official at the department, referring to the survey remarked that 5 cents an acre was cheap and that Uncle Sam would reap a pretty good profit out of the deal, because he was going to sell the land for $1.25 an acre. Diplomatic relations between England and Servia which were terminated by Great Britain three years ago following the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Draga, were formally resumed recently when King Edward received in audience Michael Milipche vitch, the Servian minister.

While the damp, cold, changing weather of Winter intensifies the pains and other disagreeable symptoms of Rheumatism, it is by no means a winter disease exclusively. Through the long months of Summer its wandering pains and twitching nerves are felt by those in whose blood the uric acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated Rheumatism is a disease that involves the entire system. Its primary cause results from the failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in contact with the different acids of the body forms uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood, making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing the body, and as this vital stream goes to every nook and corner of the body, the poison is distributed to all parts. The nervous system weakens from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes feverish and swollen, the stomach and digestion are affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased condition of the entire system is the result. Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing muscles and stinging nerves, but it is a formidable and dangerous trouble. If the uric acid is allowed to remain in the blood, and the disease becomes chronic, chalky deposits form at the joints, and they are rendered immovable and stiff, and the patient left a helpless cripple for life. Every day the poison remains in the system the disease gets a firmer hold. The best time to get rid of Rheumatism is in warm weather; because then the blood takes on new life and the skin is more active and can better assist in the elimination of the poisons. With the proper remedy to force the acid out of the blood, and at the same time build up and strengthen the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels and other organs of the body, Rheumatism can be permanently cured. External applications relieve the pain and temporarily reduce the inflammation, and for this reason are desirable, but they cannot have any effect on the disease. The blood is poisoned and the blood must be treated before a cure can be effected. S. S. S., a remedy made from roots, herbs and barks, is the best treatment for Rheumatism. It goes into the blood and attacks the disease at its head, and by neutralizing the acid and driving it out, and building up the sour blood so it can supply nourishment and strength to every part of the body, it cures Rheumatism permanently. S. S. S. is the only safe cure for the disease; being purely vegetable, it will not injure the system in the least, as do those medicines which contain Potash or some other mineral ingredient. the blood of every particle of the poison.

One day while reading a paper I saw an advertisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once.

Dear Sir: Fam glad thet you were pleased with my lecture tn Kansas City and I thank you for your kind expressions of approval. in what I sald of the Negro problem I simply spoke what my sense of jus- tice demands and what my heart cer- tainly desires. I belleve that the solution of th Negro problem lies along the lines in- dicated by me—charity and patience both on the part of the white man an2 on the part of the black man. Men in influential positions, such os you, can do very much towards the solution by upbuilding the Negro race and calming the prejudices of the white race. Yours sincerely. ‘When such men as Rev. Thoms: Dixon, Governor Vardmah, of Missis- sippl; Governor Davis, of Arkansas and Senator Tillman, of South Caro- lina, are making strenuous efforts to convince the world of the unworthines: of the Negro and his Inability to accent and appreciate a higher civilization, your plea to an audience of ten thov- sand for justice and fair treatment to him, came to my ear as a coolins above Indicated, and on behalf of @ grateful people I thank you. ‘Yours in Christian faith. . —John Ireland.

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, anda half dozen pairs of boots. He called this a dry goodgptore through a Philadelphia newspaper, and off ered to sell a pair of socks for 8 cents, The don't-believe-in-advertis ine 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 Job Work. 20 per cent off. 20 per cent off, Grand Anniversary Sale The New York Dry Goods Company Helena, Niontanea.
