Address all Communications to The Montana Plaindealer, 19 South Main Street, Montana UNION!!! We have attended many National, also every State Convention in the State which we came from, probably in the last score of years, serving as delegate at large from the Republican Club of Kansas to the National Convention in Milwaukee, to say nothing of State, County, Congressional Conventions, to which we have been selected either as delegate or alternate. But we never have been required to pay for the privilege of helping nominate some man to a big fat office, until we served as a delegate to the recent Republican State Convention. We have received word to wait on such and such a candidate; we have been doing a fair business when there was no campaign on, and if perchance some candidate needs the assistance of THE PLAINDEALER, our office is still located at 19 South Main St. THE PLAINDEALER will not be ungrateful to those friends who so generously assisted us to make this organ a success in its incipiency. Chairman Mantle's speech before the Republican State Convention was an eloquent and inspiring rhetorical effort which depicted the vicissitudes though which the party had passed, and the glorious and enviable pinnacle which it occupies today. THE HON. JOSEPH M. DIXON Last week we visited Missoula, the home of Hon. J. M. Dixon, Congressman from this State; we had the pleasure for the first time of meeting him, and found him as he had been commended to us, a broad-gauged, progressive, and up-to-date Republican, who greeted us kindly, and who takes a genuine interest in our progress both as it relates to the progress of our own people, and the general status of our people; he struck a popular chord with us when he said, "It seems to me you should advocate the idea of your people becoming land-holders and tax-payers, and to have higher aspirations than to the barber shop and shining artist." He has taken a keen interest in our narrative of some of the vicissitudes through which we have passed, and of some of the acquaintanees which we have formed, who have become men of national note. After meeting him we ceased to wonder at the immense popularity that he has gained in this section, and we are convinced that he stands for, like our own Teddy, a square dear for all. We do not pretend to know whom the candidates and members of the County Central Committee will select for the Chairman to conduct the present Campaign, but we do know they cannot select a more wideawake and capable man, who is thoroughly up in the game of politics, than the Hon. O. M. Lanstrum, M. D. With him at the helm it will be a winner. We regret that two Conventions, one right on the heels of the other. kept us from attending the meeting of the Western Press Association at Pueblo this week. But we know the boys will do the right thing, and call the next meeting in Topeka, and we will not fail to be present. Gambling still continues, THE PLAINDEALER, Independent, and ministers of the city notwithstanding. At the last hour it is alleged that LaCroix whipped the gamblers into line, which gave him a new lease on life, and will get his name before the Democratic Convention on Thursday. But that's all. EMANCIPATION DAY Saturday, Sept. 22d is the Forty-fourth Anniversary of the assurance by Abraham Lincoln of the famous Emancipation Proclamation, which struck the shackles of slavery from 6,000,000 souls, and marked the death of slavery in the United States. In every community where there are any of our people, they should hold appropriate exercises in celebrating this event; and when we look over the events which have transpired since that time, instead of a feeling of remorse for being identified with a persecuted race, we cannot but think we should feel highly honored, for no race in the history of the world has made the progress which has been ours since Lincoln's Proclamation, or in a like period in any other time. Aside from reaching the highest rung in all the professions, trades, etc., there has been no momentous event since freedom but what the Negro has played a conspicuous part both to his own credit and the honor of the country. In the vestibule of freedom where the old flag was trailing in the dust the Negro Soldier,—the freedman fighting as only freedmen can, picked it up, and the Union was saved. In the Spanish-American War the Negro Soldier stormed San Juan Hill and ascended Eleancy and saved the day. At all times, even in civil life he has been a dependable quantity,—a staunch supporter of good government,—he has accumulated from nothing in '63, millions of acres of lands, is assessed for $800,000,000 in property, conducts thirty-two banks, operates street railway systems, stecamboat lines, and is represented in all the avenues of business, he certainly has cause to meet and celebrate. The colored people of Helena for the first time will hold appropriate exercises for the occasion, and every citizen of all races is cordially invited to attend the exercises at this office, on Saturday evening, the 22d, celebrating the Forty-fourth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation for the Abolition of Slavery in America. In seconding the nomination of LaCroix for County Attorney at the Democratic Convention Thursday evening, R. R. Purcell informed the delegates and the public that LaCroix had "faithfully and fearlessly performed his duty, had enforced all the laws, had prosecuted the guilty and protected the innocent." He did not add, however, that gambling is now running wide open in Helena, with the knowledge and perhaps connivance of LaCroix; and not only so, but is so presumably running because of ante-convention promises made by LaCroix to the gamblers for their support. "Faithfully" and "fearlessly" are good words, but when applied to LaCaoix with regard to the performance by him of the duties of his office, it is to laugh. The only question now is whether a man who is willing to violate not only the statute, but his oath of office as well can be jammed down the throats of the people. THE PLAINDEALER is very strongly of the opinion that it cannot be done Helena, Montana, Friday, September 21, 1906. The Forty-fourth Anni- versary of the Issuance of THE EMANGIPATION PROCLAMATION "I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relations between the Unite States and each of the States and the people thereof, in which States that relation is or may be suspended or disturbed.

Succeed in Killing the Bear The news that Arthur Palmer and Jas. Howard really killed a bear was received by their many friends with great mediocrity and precaution, not to say incredulity. One of their friends went so far as to say that either one of those boys would run at the sight of a bear, and the only way they would capture one would be to bring him into camp alive, they doing the hot foot. But with all of this the boys came to town with the proof, and THE PLAINDEALER vouches for the accuracy of their statement. They really bagged a big cinnamon cub, which weighed about 200 lbs. He was punctured by at least eight bullets. Nearly a Tragedy. The two Helena nimrods of course thought beyond peradventure that eight leaden messengers of death had despatched bruin to dreamland, when Jim Howard, in true huntsman style, approached their prostrate, apparently lifeless, victim with his keen huntsman's knife, and was in the act of sticking him that he might bleed; the cub came to life and gave him a vicious tap with his right paw in the forehead, and Jim saw stars; but the ebb of life was too low, and he could not follow it up, and Jim in a more careful and diplomatte way put him out of harm's reach. They triumphantly brought his hide and forepaws home as souvenirs of their two weeks' outing on the Muscleshell of 1006. After indisputable facts and indisputable evidence had been produced that Arthur and Jim had really bagged the cub, one of their friends who was hard to be convinced, but had to give in on account of the preponderance of evidence in their behalf, gave the following version of the shooting of the bear, it run like this: "The boys were out in a wooded section where the undergrowth was very thick; they had been cautioned to be careful in shooting on account of the cattle; they both saw an object in the underbrush at the same time; they were uncertain as to what it was, but both fired simultaneously. As the object reeled over Arthur jumped up in joyful glee and shouted, "We have killed a bar!" Jim says "We? H-ll! I shot the bar!" They were drawing nearer to the object, Jim in the lead, he thought he discovered in the object before them a calf, and he sorrowfully looked back to Arthur, and said, "Arthur we have killed the man's calf." Arthur said, "We? H-ll! You shot the calf!" But a closer inspection and the incidents related above they both gave a Sioux war-whoop YOU CAN FURNISH YOU CAN FURNISH YOUR HOME COMPLETE For Half the Money Required at other stores if your partment for your Furniture Furnishings.

Curtin, Reliable Housefurnisher, Grand Street. and in mighty unison shouted "We have really killed a bar !!"

No. 28. A Review of Happenings In Both Eastern and Western Hemispheres During the Past Week—National, Historical, Political and Personal Events. A handcar loaded with section men of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad ran off an *pen draw on the Maumee river recently and all of the men on the car were drowned. The number of men on the car is said to have been twelve. The steamer Oregon recently hit the rocks on the beach of Hinchinbrook island at the entrance to Prince William sound and the bottom of the steamer was torn off. The wreck is complete. The Kaslo, B. C., fruit fair opened Saturday. There was a good attendance from Nelson, Alnsworth, Sandon and other nearby points. The exhibits are extremely creditable, especially in apples. For three days slight earthquake shocks were felt at Pelarmo and in several other ports of Sicily. President Roosevelt has approved a change in the plans for the construction of the Panama canal which will save $150,000 in the expense. A farmer named Snyder recently drove to his farm, eight miles east of Noble, Oklahoma, shot his wife and baby, and then took his own life. Jealousy is supposed to have prompted the deed. Robbers blew open the safes in the two banks at Underwood, N. D., recently, securing about $10,000 and escaped. Philip S. Wales, formerly medical director in the American navy, died in Paris recently of cancer. The body will be embalmed for burial at Annapolis. Lahore.-The report on the plague in the united provinces in 1905 shows that entire districts have been swept, and that over 300,000 people died from its effects. The Mutta district, which was the worst, had 45,644 deaths, as against 4,185 in 1904. While driving from Sagamore hill to Oyster Bay Saturday Miss Ethel Roosevelt, daughter of the president, was thrown out of her buggy, her horse becoming frightened at an automobile. Miss Ethel was unhurt. Several persons were killed and property valued at thousands of dollars was damaged or destroyed in a terrific storm and cloudburst that broke over Zatacecas, Mexico, recently. Melbourne. — The commonwealth house of representatives has adopted a resolution giving a preference of 10 per cent to British goods imported in British ships. Countess Tolstoi is gravely ill. Nicholas Longworth has been renominated for congress by the Hamilton county republicans. General Funston has been ordered to proceed to Washington from Tacoma without delay. It is presumed he will be sent to Cuba. The run on the Hibernia Bank at San Francisco is about over. In a former note to France and other powers, 'turkey draws attention to the warlike preparations which are going on in Bulgaria. Berlin.—Prince Henry of Prussia has been appointed commander in chief of all the squadrons in active service. Mrs. Mary A. Bigley, mother of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick of Ohio, died recently at Woodstock, Ont. Two additional lawyers have been retained for the defense of Harry K. Thaw. Deputy Sheriff W. S. Johnson of Wapanuka, I. T., has in custody J. B. Hickman, who has confessed to the murder of Thomas Irwine and his young son Archie while they were traveing overland on the continental divide near Rawlins, Wyo., last June. Hickman in his confession implicates his cousin, Hugh Hickman. The body of Henry K. Wampole, a wealthy Philadelphia manufacturer of mechanicals, was found in the East river, New York, recently. He had brooded over the money shortage of a trusted empoye, in Canada, and undoubtedly committed suicide. Sacramento.—Strenuous efforts are being put forth to prevent Adolph Weber's death sentence being commuted to life imprisonment. Philip B. Stewart, recently nominated for governor of Colorado on the republican ticket, has sent a letter to the republican state chairman declining the nomination. While the letter does not state it in so many words, the reason Mr. Stewart declines to run is the placing of Justice William Gabbart as a candidate for reelection to the supreme bench Another Rip Van Winkle Christ Burmaster, who disappeared from Burlington, Iawe, 51 years ago, at the age of 17 years, and who since had not been heard from by his family, has returned a wealthy man. His family had supposed him to be dead. He first went to Dakota and made a fortune, and then moved to Los Angeles, where he now lives. Second Hague Conference Although the date has not yet been fixed, the second Hague conference will probably be held next May or June. The representation will be increased from 30 nations to about 45 Blewup Buildings In Havana Havana, Sept. 18.—A violent explosion occurred here Monday morning and wrecked two brick buildings. Six persons were killed and many wounded. No details of the cause are yet at hand. An investigation is being made. The explosion is thought to be the work of incendiaries. The buildings at once caught fire. Dead and wounded are still being taken from the wreckage. The buildings were insured. Some alcohol was in storage in one of the buildings, but the force of the explosion causes the belief that deliberate use of dynamite was made. ATTACK WAS PREARRANGED On a Signal 700 Peasants Storm the Big Arnshonoff Estate St. Petersburg, Sept. 18.—Reports were received here of an outbreak on the great Arnshanoff estate in the government of Samara, in which a small army of peasants treacherously attacked the steward of the estate and his assistant. Mary people were killed. The peasant had gathered to negotiate with the officials in the distribution of allotments. An attack upon the officials had been prearranged, and at a given signal 700 of the peasants appeared with guns and bombs. They attacked and wounded the officials and then set fire to the buildings, haystacks and other property, looting such buildings as contained valuables. The keepers armed and attacked the mob, firing several volleys and killing a number. Troops were hurried to the scene and restored order after a fight in which many were killed. ARMY OFFICERS PROMOTED. MacArthur Is Now a Lieutenant Gen eral—Others Go On By direction of the president commissions have been prepared for Major General MacArthur to be lieutenant general of the army, Brigadier General Jesse M. Lee as major general and Captain John J. Pershing as brigadier general. These promotions are made to fill vacancies incident to the retirement of Lieutenant General Corbin. General J. Franklin Bell, who is the senior brigadier, waived the promotion to the higher grade in order to give General Lee an opportunity to reach it before he retired. General Lee will retire next January, and there would have been no vacancy in the grade of major general before that date had General Bell been appointed. General MacArthur is now commanding the division of the Pacific and will continue in the position. General Lee is now in command of the department of the Visayas. His promotion makes three major generals in the Philippines. It is said that he will be given a command in the United States. TWO CENTS THE MAXIMUM FARE Governors of Several States Favorable to Plan S. M. Williams, secretary of the Pennsylvania state board of trade, has made public copies of letters received from the governors of several states on the movement to obtain uniform legislation throughout the United States for a two cent maximum fare on all steam railroads. A number of governors are personally favorable to a two cent fare. Governors of some western states say that because of the sparsely settled condition of their states the time is not yet ripe for a radical reduction of fares, but that such a reform will come about when the population increases to give the business to justify a cut. DEADLY DUEL OF TWO JAPANESE Room-mates in Portland Stab and Shoot Each Other Portland, Ore., Sept. 16.—S. Moriyama and H. Miya, Japanese, who have been room-mates at Second and Couch streets, Portland, became involved in a dispute yesterday. The reason is unknown. Miya shot Moriyama to death, but before doing so was stabbed fatally by Moriyama. Late News Items The United States cruiser Charles, with Secretary Root on board, has left Callao for Panama. More than 2000 persons participated in the municipal ball in honor of Secretary Root, Saturday night. By a premature explosion of dynamite Sunday at a railroad camp 18 miles from Kenora, Man., three men were blown to pieces. Fragments of their bodies were picked up 40 feet away. General De Dioulin, former prefect of St. Petersburg, will succeed the late General Trepoff as commandant of the imperial palace. Former Governor Aaron Thomas Bliss, of Michigan, is dead at a sanitarium here, of appoplexy. The celebration of Mexico's day of independence was observed at Monterey, Mexico, by general merrymaking.

Is Accompanied by Bacon and Several Assistants — Bound for Tampa, Where They Will Embark on Naval Vessel to Execute Orders Washington, Sept. 17.—Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon left Washington Sunday afternoon for Tampa, Fla., to embark on a naval vessel there for Havana, in accordance with the instructions of President Roosevelt, to ascertain the exact political situation. Other members of the party were Frank G. Rockwood, stenographer to Secretary Taft; Henry Newcomb, private secretary to Assistant Secretary Bacon; Captain F. R. McCoy, the president's military aide; F. L. Calrins, surveyor of the port of Manila; Jose M. Macias, a Spanish interpreter from the insular bureau, and two messengers. The party is due to arrive at Port Tampa, at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. Edwin V. Morgan, the American minister to Cuba, is on way to his post at Havana. Mr. Morgan unexpectedly joined Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon in this city, just as the train left Washington today. He has been in Europe since the insurrection began, but will proceed to Cuba with the Taft-Bacon party to resume his duties. All of the big battleships which have been ordered down the coast to "keep in touch" with a view to dispatch to Cuba, if necessary, are the newest and speediest in the navy, the Virginia and the New Jersey having been commissioned last May and the Louisiana in June. The Cuban legation received a cablegram announcing the arrival of Mr. Quesada, the Cuban minister at Paris, en route home from the Pan-American conference at Rio and that he will sail on the first available steamer from Paris to take charge of affairs at his post here. It is expected he will sail Wednesday. A detachment of 100 marines from the Washington barracks left today for Norfolk to go aboard American warships under orders for Cuba. Accompanying them was a detachment of 60 marines, who arrived today from Portsmouth, N. H. SPOKANE MARKET QUOTATIONS Wholesale Produce Prices.

With a panic threatened in a crowd estimated at 50,000 people surging about the stand erected in the capitol grounds at Columbus, Ohio, frantic to secure a glimpse of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the president's daughter, the exercises arranged for the dedication of the McKinley monument were suddenly terminated the other afternoon after the statue of the martyred president had been hurriedly unveiled by Mrs. Longworth. Mrs. Longworth had an exciting experience in escaping from the crowd at the capitol. From the speaker's stand she and the party went through a window overlooking the platform into the governor's office, but they were scarcely inside when the people began to surge through the doors. Then they attempted to reach an automobile which was waiting for them on the street, but once outside they were caught in a surging crowd. Finding no immediate avenue of escape, they fought their way out of the capitol grounds and across Broad street into the Outlook building. There they remained until a carriage was secured, and the police cleared a way to it and they were driven to the hotel. Later they took a train for Cincinnati.

BLUE AND GRAY IN REUNION Meet on the Historic Battlefield of Gettysburg. On the historic battlefield where they clashed for supremacy, the survivors of General Picket's division of the Confederate army met Saturday in fraternal reunion the survivors of the Philadelphia brigade, which was composed of four regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers. The reunion was held at the "Bloody angle," where General Pickett made his famous charge. A feature of the gathering was the presentation of General Armistead's sword to the men of the south. General Armistead fell during the charge and his sword has since been in possession of the Philadelphia soldiers. On Monday the veterans went to the battlefield of Antietam. There they were joined by the survivors of four other Pennsylvania regiments, and monuments erected to the memory of the Pennsylvaniaians who fell during the battle were unveiled. Arrest of T. W.

Spokane N U No 38 06 --- WAS COMMANDER OF IMPERIAL PALACE AT ST. PETERSBURG. This Remarkable Tyrant Dies a Natural Death—Guiding Hand of the Reaction after Nicholas II Issued His Famous Manifesto in 1905 Giving People Share in Government. General Dmitri, Feodorovich Trepoff, commandant of the imperial palace, died in his villa at Peterhof, Russia, of angina pectoris. General Trepoff, whose name was indelibly linked with repression in Russia, was a remarkable man. He was a natural despot, a tyrant by inclination, education and conviction. He was one of those men who have constantly appeared in Russian history just at the time when conditions were most promising for putting an end to despotism to turn Russian rulers from liberalism to reaction. It was he who became the guiding spirit of the reaction after Nicholas II had issued his manifesto in the fall of 1905, promising the people a share in the government. Holding the position of master of the palace, in league with the court intriguers who were determined to restore the old regime, he constantly had the emperor's ear. Like his father before him, Trepoff was a police master, and the story of father and son was full of dramatic incidents. The elder was a foundling. Who his parents were was never known. He was found one morning on the back doorstep of a German family, by whom he was playfully named Trepoff, after the German word for doorstep. The father distinguished himself as a member of the secret police. During the height of the nihilist conspiracies, in the '70s, it was to him that Alexander II confided the task of running down terrorists plotting against his life. The fight between liberalism and reaction then, as later under Trepoff's son, was in full swing, and then, as later, the energies of the police were directed against the student agitation. Virtual Dictator of Russia. Virtual Dictator of Russia. Dmitri followed his father's footsteps. He attracted the attention of Grand Duke Sergius, then governor general of Moscow, and by him was named police master of Moscow. Trepoff soon became Sergius' right arm in fighting the revolutionary student agitation, of which the ancient capital was the hotbed. When Sergius was assassinated Trepoff was named governor general of Moscow. Later he was summoned to St. Petersburg and given the command of the imperial guard and made governor general of the city. He took up his residence in the winter palace and became in fact, if not in name, dictator of Russia. Anarchy prevailed when he arrived. An uprising on a large scale was momentarily expected. Thousands had fled the city. But with Trepoff in command the aspect of affairs changed. Troops filled the streets, and dead walls were placarded with notices that the street disorders would be suppressed without mercy. And under his iron hand the city became quiet. During those trying weeks plot after plot was discovered and frustrated. Two of his own nieces attempted to execute the sentence. But in his dungeonlike room in the center of the palace, where no bomb could reach him save by shattering a dozen walls, with the telephone constantly at his side, he issued orders and received reports. His personal courage was beyond all question. He had almost a contempt for death. "I am no fool," he said to the Associated Press correspondent a few days after he assumed the dictatorship. "I am no fool to be potted in the street. I have work to do, and I propose to do it. I have given my word to my imperial master to maintain the tranquility of the city, and I will answer for the preservation of order with my life." The strain told upon him, and during those memorable six weeks the lines of his face deepened and his hair and beard became streaked with gray. He continued at his post throughout the summer, and although there was much political excitement, no riot occurred. Six actual attempts on the life of General Trepoff were made within the last three years, and only last year General Kazloff of the headquarters was assassinated at Peterhof by a terrorist who believed he was firing upon Trepoff. General Trepon would have been 51 years of age in December. Some Are Glad. Relief, almost jubilation, is the dominant note not only among the revolutionists, but also among the cadet group. A dozen leaders styled the death of General Trepoff as "good news." Five Children Drown. Whitehead, N. S., Sept. 14.—Five children, aged from 9 to 14, were drowned in a lake at Port Felix, a village near here. The children had spent the day picking blueberries on an island and on their return their small boat sprang a leak and sank. Men are quick to accept an excuse for keeping their money. Long fingers announce a disposition to scratch. SKIN DISEASES There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burning skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appearing and know that they will be tormented through the hot summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with external applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. All food taken into the body contains, i the different parts. One portion is used for the making of blood, another for muscle, one for bone, still another for fat, and so on. After these different properties are extracted from the food there still remains a portion that is useless, or waste matter, which is intended to be disposed of through the natural channels of bodily waste, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season of the year, however, these organs become torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. EOZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. AONE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appearance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM. It discharges a watery fluid, forming sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health.

I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly that I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was badly discolored and passages were dreadfully frequent.
