Montana Plaindealer

THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER ! Hon. Henry C. Smith Next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Political Snapshots Was it or was it not one of the strict judges of this County so from the bench remarked conning the repeated prosecution is a poor and friendless girl by La Croix, and the palpable endeav- t to keep her in jail after she had been bailed out three succe- sive times, that it appeared to be a proper case for the prosecution some of the public officials of the County for oppression and nafeasance in office? Is the giving of an opinion by La Croix whereby the taxpayers should have lost $600 had it been allowed, an indication of supe- ior "efficiency," "incorruptibility" or "popularity,"—which? J. H. Carmichael and T. W. Richardson are deserving of the support of all classes for County commissioner, and we have an obiding faith that they will be rumphantly elected on Nov. 6th. T. W. Rlchardson, the successful East Helena druggist, is making a winning campaign for County Commissioner for the four-year term, and is deserving of the support of our readers. He is a broad-gauged and progressive citizen who stands for a square deal for all, and not adverse to patronizing business enterprises conducted by our people. When such Republicans as Mr. Richardson aspire to local positions, THE PLAINDEALER cannot do too much in its humble capacity toward their success. Also for one of the Commissioners the voters could not possibly elect a better man than J. H. Carmichael, the Republican nominee for the two-year term; he is one of the County's most successful business men, and their is no question with Richardson and Carmichael as County Commissioners, but that the affairs of the County would be run on strictly a business basis. Mr. Carmichael has shown a keen interest in the progress of our people, and their enterprise, and appreciating the same we urge a united support for him for this important position. ? Mr. Chas.

HIS DOOM; LAGROIX'S RECORD SUMMED UP THE PEOPLE HAVE IT WE CONFIDENTLY EXPECT A VERDIGT FROM THE PEOPLE, GUILTY AS CHARGED What the voters of this County wish to know in this Campaign is, whether aspirants for office are fit to be public servants; and especially, if the candidate aspires to re-election, whether his record entitles him to the confidence and respect of the public. It is a singular fact that the present County Attorney does not base his claim to a re-election upon his record—indeed that he does not dare discuss that record and ask for the suffrages of the electors of this County. And yet this is not so singular; for that record is so wholly indicative of gross incompetency and unfitness that no thinking voter can be asked to endorse it. THE PLAINDEALER has, on divers occasions and piecemeal, shown that record to the public. It has shown that the present County Attorney, after being inducted into office two years ago, went to Great Falls and testified against the interests of his County in the Keerl case; that he placed his own Assistant in the most embarrassing position of having to cross-examine him on that trial; that he swore in his opinion Keerl was insane when he shot Tom Crystal; and for this distinguished service against the interests of Lewis and Clark County he charged to and received from that County the sum of $19.60 mileage for the trip to Great Falls and return when he had in his pocket, and unquestionably used an annual pass over the line of the Great Northern within the State. He asks for re-election upon a plattform declaring for an anti-pass law; and the query naturally suggests itself. If he believes in that as a principle, why does he not return the passes he now holds, and why did he accept those he used during the entire year of 1905? Beyond doubt if such a law should be passed he would surrender the free transportation he now enjoys, with the greatest reluctance. If he believes in the platform on which he is running, let him declare unequivocally that he does not now hold an annual pass over both the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern. THE PLAINDEALER has also shown that if the opinion of the present County Attorney had been followed by the Board of County Commissioners in the Berry matter the County of Lewis and Clark would have lost the sum of $600; but that rejecting his opinion, that sum was saved. It is a sad commentary upon the confidence held by the Board of County Commissioners in LaCroix that in that litigation such Board deemed it expedient and necessary to hire private counsel to represent the interests of the County, and that such private counsel won the case for the County in both the District and Supreme Courts, the decision of both Courts being directly contrary to the written opinion of LaCroix. Is it to be wondered at that the voters begin to speculate as to whose interests LaCroix has represented since his induction into office? Surely not those of the County, as the record abundantly demonstrates. Again, if the opinion of LaCroix had been followed concerning the law passed by the last Legislative Assembly reducing the Sheriff's charges for transporting prisoners to the Reform School and Insane Asylum, the County of Lewis and Clark would up to this date have lost over $800, and the State on the transportation of prisoners to the Penitentiary a sum doubtless many times in excess of that amount. The Board of County Commissioners of this County declined to be bound by the opinion last adverted to, and upon their rejection of a bill presented by the present Sheriff, computed upon the basis of the old law, a suit was commenced in the District Court here to test the question of the constitutionality of the new law. As indicative of the manner in which the affairs of the County Attorney's office have been conducted by its present incumbent it may be observed, in passing, that he did not appear in either the District or Supreme Courts to represent the interests of his own County in that suit, but instead sulked behind the wholly incorrect opinion he had theretofore rendered, snd left it to the Attorney General to perform his plain duty for him. Again, does any intelligent lawyer believe there was not the grossest blundering on the first trial of the Remey case; or can anyone familiar with the trial of cases think for a moment that a second trial of that case would have been required if it had been properly tried the first time? That second trial cost this County over $5,000, and the taxpayers foot the bills while (Continued on page four) 9 A Leading Republican and Prominent Candidate for United States Senator, to Succeed W.

OME of the most vivid of the emotions which thronged upon the summer pilgrim to the old home were those which awaited him in the family pew of the old meeting house. As he took his seat there, and heard the familiar note of the organ and the clear, thin voices of the choir, the years melted away, the faces changed, the new carpet faded into the well-remembered colors of fifty years ago—and he was in truth a child again. His thought went back to the time when he was allowed to sit on the footstool as a concession to his short, restless legs. He tasted again the luscious raisin which found its way from grandmother's pocket to his mouth, and sniffed the pungent southernwood of the Sunday nosegay in a neighbor's silk-mitted hand. It was in that pew that he first realized to the full the dignity of trousers. It was there that he was proudly conscious of the approving glances of his friends on his first college vacation.

There was a time, and not so long ago, when crossing the ocean seemed quite an undertaking, and the person who had ventured twice or thrice was brave in the eyes of his associates. But, significant of the wandering spirit developed in America within the last decade, a few days ago the writer was speaking with a man, not a professional traveler, who had made eighty trips across; and to the moneyed man or woman of this century a record of from ten to twenty trips across is not so extraordinary as to cause comment. The eight or ten days formerly spent on the waves between here and Europe have been reduced to a trifle over six, and during these six days the vessel is not only in constant communication with land, but every morning a paper containing brief accounts of the news features of the world is printed and distributed free of charge among the passengers. Because of their bulk and weight the large liners are comparatively steady, and few storms of the summer are of sufficient strength to roll or toss them. The broad decks are like small streets, and the dining rooms and saloons are more like those of a metropolitan hotel than a ship. In place of the stuffy little cabins of old-time ships, the up-to-date liners are equipped with rooms en suite, with baths, full-length mirrors and wardrobes, and even the smaller cabins are provided with all the furnishings of a well-appointed boudoir—Leslie's Weekly.

THE REAL "LITTLE WOMEN." & Letter from Miss Alcott's States About the Four Girls. Doubtless many of our girl readers who have also read and enjoyed "Little Women" will be interested in the following letter, written thirty years ago to two young girls of that day, who had sent a letter to Miss Alcott herself, asking if the characters in "Little Women" were real persons, and if the story were true. In due time they received the following letter in reply.—Editor. Dear Julla and Alice—From your note to Miss Alcott I infer that you are not aware that she is at present in Italy, having gone abroad in April last, with the intention of remaining a year or more, trying to get well. But knowing how pleased she would be with your friendly note, I think perhaps a word from sister "Meg" will be better than leaving it unanswered and far better than that any "little woman" should feel that "Je" was unkind or ungrateful. Of course you know that neither "Meg" nor "Je" are young and pretty girls now, but sober old women, nearly forty years of age, full of cares and troubles like other people; and that although nearly every event in the book is true, of course things did not happen exactly as they are there set down. You ask if "Amy" is not May Alcott, and I can truly say she is her very self, and she is the only one of the "Little Women" who would, I think, realize your ideal drawn from the story. She is, indeed, "Lady Amy," and a fair and noble woman, full of graces and accomplishments, and, what is better far, a pure and generous heart. "Jo," "Beth" and "Amy" are all drawn from life, and are entirely truthful pictures of the three dear sisters who played and worked, loved and sorrowed together so many years ago. Dear "Both"—or Louie, as we called her—died, after long suffering, twelve years since. She was a sweet and gentle creature, and her death was so great a sorrow to poor "Jo" that she has never been quite happy since her "conscience" was laid away under the pines of Sleepy Hollow. "Meg" was never the pretty vain little maiden, who coquetted and made herself so charming. But "Jo" always admired poor, plain "Meg," and when she came to put her into the story she beautified her to suit the occasion, saying, "Dear me, girls, we must have one beauty in the book!" So "Meg," with her big mouth and hemely nose, shines forth quite a darling, and no doubt all the "little women" who read of her admire her just as loving old "Jo" does, and think her quite splendid. But, for all that, she is nothing but homely, busy, and, I hope, useful "Annie" who writes this letter to you. As for dear old "Jo" herself, she was just the romping, naughty, topsy-turvy tomboy that all you little girls have learned to love; and even now, when care aids sickness have made her early old, she is at heart the same loving, generous girl. In "Little Women" she has given a very truthful story of her haps and mishaps, her literary struggles and successes, and she is now enjoying her well-earned honors and regaining her health in travel with her sister Amy. They are spending the winter in Rome, in a delightful circle of artists, receiving attentions and honors that make proud the heart of the sister left behind. "Amy" is in the studio of a well-known painter, working hard to perfect herself in her chosen art, while "Jo" is resting and gaining strength and courage for her promised "Little Men," of which I imagine "Meg's" boys, Freddie and Johnnie, are to be the heroes. You inquire about "Laurie." The character was drawn partly from imagination, but more perhaps from a very nice boy Louisa once knew, whose good looks and "wheedlesome" ways first suggested to her the idea of putting him into a book. She has therefore put upon him the love-making and behavior of various adorers of her youthful days. Dear little friends, if I have told you all you wish to know, and shown that you need have no fear of being thought "intrusive," perhaps sometime you will honor "Meg" herself with a letter. Be assured she will be glad to hear from any of the "little women." Sincerely yours. ANNIE ALCOTT PRATT Father and Son. How rare it is to see a father and a son who are chums, yet how beautiful is the sight of such a friendship! Of course it depends chiefly on the father whether or not, his growing son is to find delight in his companionship. If he cultivates the affection of his boy, if he seeks his society, if he tries to mold him without breaking his will or denying him the rights of a human being with a reason, a will and a disposition of his own, he will be apt, if the young fellow is made of the right stuff, to win his heart and become his hero, for love begets love. But if he is harsh and distant to the boy in the days of the latter's youth, if he exacts obedience without explanation, if he expects an old head on young shoulders, if he makes no effort to gain his confidence, if he does not seek his regard, he need not be surprised if his son grows up a stranger to him and desires in his young manhood other company. Happy is the father whose boy is his friend, his associate, his admirer, his right hand in business enterprises, his consolation and his staff in old age. A woman may believe only half what she hears, but she always hears twice as much as a man. VAST IRRIGATION PROJECT WELL UNDER WAY. ERIGABLE AREA LEGATORE IRRIGATED IN 1904 Work is being pushed on the vast Klamath, Ore., reclamation scheme, well under way, to make productive 230,000 acres of land now useless. Of that area there will be 15,000 acres ready for the plow of the irrigator next spring, says C. M. Hystell in the Portland Journal. The main canal, which leads from the lower end of the upper Klamath lake to a point in the desert nine miles east of the town of Klamath Falls, is being rapidly constructed. The water is carried from the upper lake through a tunnel under a hill just north of the town. This tunnel is being rapidly constructed. It is being driven from both ends, and also by drifting from shafts sunk along the right of way. The tunnel will be completed during the coming winter. It will be 3,300 feet long, $13\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide on the bottom and 14 feet 4 inches high, with an arched roof. Through it will flow a volume of water 11 feet high.

Egyptian War Charlot. This chariot, which is mentioned in various parts of scripture, and more especially in the description of the pursuit of the Israelites by Pharaoh, and of his overthrow in the Red Sea, was a very light structure, consisting of a wooden framework strengthened and adorned with metal, and leather binding, answering to the descriptions which Homer has given of those engaged in the Trojan war. The sides were partly, and the back wholly, open; and it was so low that a man could easily step into it from behind; for there was no seat, the rider always standing in war or hunting, though when weared he might WAR CHARIOT OF ANCIENT EGYPT. occasionally sit on the sides, or squat, in eastern fashion, on his heels. The body of the car was not hung on the axle in equilibrio, but considerably forward, so that the weight was thrown more upon the horses. Its lightness, however, would prevent this from being very fatiguing to them, and this mode of placing it had the advantage of rendering the motion more easy to the driver. To contribute further to this end, the bottom or floor consisted of a network of interlaced thongs, the elasticity of which in some measure answered the purpose of modern springs.

On will cover about 13,000 acres of first class agricultural land that is now semiarid, excepting for one-third of this area that is already susceptible of irrigation from an old project, known as the Ankeny canal, now owned by the government. A large part of the remainder is covered with sage-brush and still held in private ownership, although subscribed by the present owners to the government project and subject to sale under the formula prescribed by the irrigation law. Each private owner is allowed to retain 160 acres. He must sell the rest of his holding or ultimately submit to having the Water Users' Association sell it at public sale. Ultimately there will be hundreds of miles of canals and roads. Through this whole project and extending from Klamath Falls to Tule lake, will run the channel of the Klamath river, providing perpetually water transportation for the farmers.

Pre-Adamite Bone Cave. Among the wonders of the world, the bone caves of the pre-Adamite period deserve a prominent place. It is to this period that the extensive remains of Mammilferere found in the strata of the Pampas of Buenos Ayres, and in the caverns which are scattered in such vast numbers over the continents of Europe and America, and even in Australia, are to be ascribed. Of these caverns, a most extensive one, and among the first which attracted attention, is situated at Bayleenreuth, in Franconiella, and the engraving which we here given represents a section of it. The entrance of this cave, about seven feet in height, is placed on the face of a perpendicular rock, and leads to a series of chambers from fifteen to twenty feet in height, and several hundred feet in extent, in a deep chasm. The cavern is perfectly dark, and the icicles and pillars of stalactite reflected by the torches present a highly picturesque effect. The floor is literally paved with bones and fossil teeth, and the pillars and corbels of stalactite also contain osseous remains. Cuvier showed that three-fourths of the remains in this and like caverns were those of bears, the remainder PRE-ADAMITE BONE CAVERNS. consisting of bones of hyenas, tigers, wolves, foxes, gluttons, weasels, and other Carnivora. Arabi Pasba. In a little house up a by-street of the Mohammedan quarter, old, friendless, broken, lives the man who might have ruled Egypt. If you ask twenty people in Cairo today, "Where is Arabi Pasha?" fifteen will tell you that he is dead, while the other five do not know. In fact, after the bombardment of Alexandria he was sent to exile for life in Ceylon, but was allowed some four years ago to return to his native city. It was only after a week's hard ferreting that I discovered, through a native journalist, the whereabouts of the great man. Even now, in his seventieth year, he is a big man; in his prime he must have been immense. White hair and beard; a broad, thoughtful forehead, surmounted by the Turkish tarbosch; kindly eyes, dulled a little by age but lighting up wonderfully when he talks about things which interest him; a straight, powerful nose; a large mouth, which must once have been hard and cruel, now softened by adversity. Though the day is warm, he wears an overcoat, and he walks heavily on a massive ebony stick.—Pall Mall Gazette.

THE KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS No other remedy has given such perfect satisfaction as a blood purifier and tonic or is so reliable in the cure of blood diseases of every character as S. S. S. It is known as "The King of Blood Purifiers," and the secret of its success and its right to this title is because "IT CURES DISEASE." It is an honest medicine, made entirely of purifying, healing roots, herbs and barks, which are acknowledged to be specifics for diseases arising from an impure or poisoned condition of the blood and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in and possessing tonic properties that act gently and admirably in the up-building of a run-down, weakened or disordered condition of the system. One of the greatest points in favor of S. S. S. is that it is the only blood remedy on the market which does not contain a mineral ingredient of some kind to derange or damage the system. It is the one medicine that can be taken with absolute safety by the youngest child or the oldest member of the family, and persons who have allowed their systems to get in such condition that most medicines are repulsive to the stomach will find that S. S. S., while thorough, is gentle and pleasant in its action, and has none of the nauseating effects of the different mineral mixtures and concoctions offered as blood purifiers. As every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, it is necessary that this vital fluid be kept free from germs and poisons. So long as it remains As every part of the body is dependent necessary that this vital fluid be kept free fr uncontaminated we are fortified against disease, and health is assured; but any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the system and affects the general health. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. But all blood diseases are not acquired; some persons are born with an hereditary taint in the blood and we see this great affliction manifested in many ways. The skin has a waxy, pallid appearance, the eyes are often weak, glands of the neck enlarged, and as the taint has been in the blood since birth the entire health is usually affected. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proved itself a perfect remedy and has well earned the title of "KING OF BLOOD PURIFIERS." It goes down into the circulation and removes all poisons, humors waste or foreign matter, and makes this stream of life pure and health- S.S.S. PURELY VEGETABLE Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison and all other blood troubles are cured permanently by S. S. S., and so thorough is the cleansing of the blood that no trace of the disease is left to break out in future years or to be transmitted to offspring. If you are in need of a blood purifier get "THE KING" of them all, S. S. S.—and good results are assured.

Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin fount beauti- A strange kite has been devised by a Swedish engineer. It is made to fly under water. It is made of light canvas adjusted to a light but strong metal frame, and in shape is not dissimilar to the aerial kite, except that it is made in two sections, the lower and smaller one depending from the upper, with which it is connected by a sort of coupling. The object sought by the engineer is to provide ships with an everready automatic guard or watch that will give instant alarm if the vessel enters shoal waters and is approaching a spit where the depth is not sufficient for safety. The under-water kite is fastened to a thin wire cable attached to a winch on deck. The purpose of the water kite is to float beneath or beside the ship at a depth that is sufficient to insure safety. If at any time, day or night, the lower section of the kite strikes bottom, a device instantly releases the coupling with which it is secured to the upper section, and an alarm bell is sounded on the deck of the endangered vessel. Precautions can at once be taken to secure its safety. The kite meanwhile is drawn up, readjusted and thrown operboard to maintain its faithful watch. House Under a River. Society in this city has just awakened to the fact that one of its leaders has completed a magnificent and costly mansion under the river Seine, where one can enjoy the most delicious coolness during these torrid days, says the New York World's Paris correspondent, Count Victor de Larneau is the proprietor of the novel mansion, which he had built secretly between Melum and Sens in order to surprise his friends. A few days ago he sent out invitations and automobiles to convey his guests to the strange habitation, and on arrival everyone was surprised to find a most luxurious abode under the water. The entrance is through a grotto on the river embankment, and is adorned with many statues. An elevator takes the guests below the level of the river, and then an entrance is made to a magnificent reception room, in the center of which a marble fountain adds to the coolness of the surroundings. A complete dining room, library, bedroom and kitchen constitute the other apartments of the novel house. The count is besieged with requests for invitations to visit his abode under water, and it is probable he will remain here all through the summer, as nowhere, even at the seashore, can he meet with the comforts and coolness which he finds under the Seine.

The state claimed the above amount under the Willis law. The corporation admitted that it had not paid the tax, but claimed it was exempt.

BURTON Some one learned in the history of words gives some instances of what changes the love of uniformity has wrought in the substance of speech. The original English form of "cherry," which comes from "cerise," was "cherls." It was mistaken for a plural, so "cherry" was manufactured for a singular. Exactly so has "pea" come into being as a false singular obtained from the supposed plural and true singular "pease." "Sherry" for "sheerls" is another-case, and "shay" for chalee; "Chinee" from "Chinese" and "corp" from "corpse" are others in "vulgar speech. Similarly, "riches" is really a singular, of which "richeses" was the old plural. Three boxes cured me entirely, and I am glad to recommend them." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

It is conceded on all sides that the Republican Legislative Ticket will win out, and a part, at least, of the County Ticket has an excellent show to win the light registration coupled with disaffection in the Democratic ranks, and a multiplicity of tickets is responsible for other conditions, and the Republican workers are taking advantage thereof.

He is receiving the loyal support of all Republicans, and all of those who stand for the endorsement of the record of Theodore Roosevelt. He is a friend of labor and a friend of the colored people and their enterprises, and will without question receive their united support for State Senator, and as such, will vote to send a Republican United States Senator to Washington who will not aid and assist the nefarious Vardaman and Tillman in their efforts to hamper the progress and uplift of a struggling race.

He is broad-gauged and progressive; his friendship and good-will toward our people is unquestioned, and there is no question that he will get their solid support.

Labor may well repose confidence in him, while others need not fear radical socialistic tendencies. James H. Hall is one of Butte's real old-timers. He has lived for many, many years in Walkerville, where he served several terms as Justice of the Peace. He gave good satisfaction to his townmen, and he is well liked in the Hill City. Mr. Hall has been seriously ill during the campaign, but his friends are many. He is a brother of the famous Captain Billy Hall, who was one of the early managers of the Alice Mine, and a well-known mining man of the camp. Chas, J. Cutler is an insurance man. He is identified with the upbuilding of Butte and has grown with the city. He has always been eager for the advancement of the community, and no man could be selected as a lawmaker who would give greater weight or consideration to the welfare of all interests before casting his ballot on any measure. George C. McDonald is a miner. He knows the underground avenues of Butte as well perhaps as he does her streets. He has a wide acquaintance in this city, and will fill efficiently the office to which he asks election. P. H. Manchester is a Civil War veteran and an old resident of Montana. He has seen public office as a member of the City Council. His record is of the best, and his work was such as to bring the confidence of the citizens of Butte to him. Louis A. Walker is manager of the Finlen Hotel. He has for years been counted as one of Montana's most successful business men. His acquaintance is broad, and his popularity, as becomes a hotel man, is without dispute. His service for the people in the Legislature will be of the highest efficiency. James F. McManis is a miner. Like Mr. McDonald, he has been intrusted by his union with many an important task which required ability and judgment. He has the full confidence of the miners and a wide circle of other acquaintances, and his service at the Capitol will give those who vote for him full satisfaction UNION BANK AND TRUST COMPANY HELENA, - - MONTANA The next event is the organization of an up-to-date Literary at St. James Church.

Collins, better known as "Pete Collins," candidate for County Treasurer, entered the telegraph service just thirty years ago. He has been a train dispatcher on the Denver and Rio Grande at several points in Colorado; was train dispatcher at Omaha with the Union Pacific, and at Pocatello, Eagle Rock, and Silver Bow, with the old U. & N, when it was narrow gauge; was the first chief dispatcher of the Montana Union at Butte, and was the first chief dispatcher on the Montana and Central at Helena, which latter position he held until headquarters were removed to Great Falls, when he elected to cast his fortunes with the Capital City. He is honest, capable and efficient, and if elected we believe he will make a splendid officer. He is not a man of wealth, but what little he has is invested in Lewis and Clark County. 4% COMPO TWICE Savings Accounts Op BANK BY MAIL Deposits may be sent by registered ma the first deposit is received it will be en turned by mail as a receipt for the m book telling of the simple way in w and we will send a copy free to anyo UNION BANK COM HELENA, MISS MAMIE WAULTON, Teacher Pianoforte, studio 109 will be pleased to receive her patre at any time Music furnished on a occasions.

THE HALLOWEEN PARTY. The good ladies of Helena gave a enjoyable and successful Hallowe'en event at Germania Hall Wednesday evening, it was a masked carnival. The costumes were elaborate, and extended from the groosse to the ridiculous, and many were the prizes when at ten o'clock at the conclusion of the Grand March, the order was given unmask. The ladies vied with each other in making the evening a pleasant one for the Helena gentlemen. The party was in an innovation, as on the invitation in the type was "Gentlemen Admission Free," and not only this, they served refreshments for and with a lavish hand,—gingerbread and sweet cider, fruits, etc. In their mode of serving their guests they give the far-famed Autumn Leaf Club valuable lessons, which will no doubt be take advantage of at their future entertainments George L. Moss, a young man who has been found fleeing in and around Helena society for some time back has taken a sudden departure, leaving many behind in mourn his sudden exit, after having contracted numerous debts.

Would any lawyer who understands his business proceed to try a murder case without an autopsy upon the body of the victim? And yet that was precisely what he did in the Leifer case, and the defendant escaped with a verdict of manslaughter—the lowest decree of the crime with which he stood charged. It is to be wondered at that the counsel for the defendant in the case insisted vehemently to the jury that there was absolute lack of proof that the wounds afflicted were mortal in character; and without an autopsy how could that fact be proven? Does that look like competency or reliability, even to a layman? With any competent lawyer it is to laugh. As indicative of the spirit he brings to the so called performance of the duties of his office, one need only to refer to LaCroix's prosecution of the present County Treasurer for assault, committed by bumping into him on the sidewalk. Ask Settles, who is now, by the irony of fate, running with LaCroix in the same ticket, whether he thinks the present County Attorney left public servant or no. B SAMUEL S.

Lee Mantle toward our people was discussed with one or two including one of our good friends over there; it was their opinion that Mr.Mantle was against our people as far as political recognition was concerned. Now, we do not believe for one moment that such is the case; we have conversed with him several times and have always found him to take a keen interest in the progress of our people, and has at all times stood for their development and encouraged their enterprise. Miss Maggie V. Smith, the present efficient County Superintendent has been very active in getting around and seeing all the people during this week; she has made a splendid canvass and will get a strong support from all classes. One fact certain and sure in this campaign,—we have hewed to the line, and in the future as in the past, will stand by our friends. When the returns are in one of our prominent city officials will no doubt accompany LaCroix up Salt Creek.

We need such men as he in the Legislature, and there is no question of his election on Nov. 6th. W. M. Farmer will secure from the voters of the County a hearty support. He is a tried and true Republican and deserves any honor which may be bestowed upon him. The Hon. E. D. Weed is one of the war-horses of Republicanism and is doing much for the success of Republican principles. Our people could not honor themselves more than by giving him their undivided support. A. J. Lemkie is one of the Republican nominees for Constable. He is a working man, and we are glad to advocate his cause, and commend him to our readers for their support. The Meeting at the Auditorium Tuesday evening was one of the largest political gatherings ever held in this city, and no one now doubts for a moment as to how Lewis and Clark County will stand for Pray, Smith, and the Republican Legislative Ticket. FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR The present County Assessor, F. E. Tibbets has served the people for the last two years in that position faithfully and well, and should be re-elected by an increased majority. The office of Assessor is one of the most important in the County, and the record that has been made by Mr. Tibbets, so faithfully and equitably has he performed the duties thereof, is an enviable one, and the taxpayers throughout the County are giving him their cordial support for a second term. The Plaindealer takes great pleasure in commending the candidacy of F. E. Tibbets and urges for him a united support. He is an old resident in these parts, and has at all times been one of the progressive and broad gauged citizens for the development and progress of Lewis and Clark County. FOR COUNTY TREASURER That popular and deserving citizen, Tom Kirkendall is the leading candidate for County Treasurer and is a winner. He is well and favourable known by every resident of the County, having served the people with the highest honors as City Treasurer for three terms. They do not hesitate to give him a hearty support in a large sphere for the County Treasurership. The Republicans acted wisely in nominating him for this important position, and there is no question of his election, as he will receive a hearty and united support from all classes.

Tried and True for Principle In every crisis which has confronted this country the black phalanx has always and at all times come up to scratch on the side of right, and more than once have they saved this, our common country from disaster and ruin. In '63 and '64, when the old flag was trailing in the dust and the suggestion of General Butler and other loyal friends of the Negro, and President Lincoln placed in their hands the musket, they responded 150,000 strong, and there was thereafter no question as to the result of the Civil War. Time and again in political contests in the doubtful States of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, etc., they have stood manfully by the party of Lincoln Sumner, Garrison, et al, and did themselves proud. In '96, when disaster was staring the nation in the face they again proved their integrity and patriotism by carrying the doubtful States of New York, New Jersey and Indiana for Sound Money and protection. In '98 when the Spanish-American War broke out, he too proved his valor. The 9th and 10th Cavalry, 24th and 25th Infantry, scaled the heights of San Juan and Elcaney, and the War was over. In this War black heroes died that the peerless Roosevelt might direct the destinies of this mighty nation. And at this stage of the game the black phalanx, as ever, standing for a principle can be depended upon to stand for those things that this latter-day saviour of mankind stands for, and support all Republican nominees wherein there is a principle at stake. Judge H. C. Smith should and will receive the solid support of our people throughout the State. He is a stalwart Republican of the Abraham Lincoln and Roosevelt type; as a Judge he is impartial to all, and the color of a man's skin cuts no figure with him. Justice is meted out to him just the same as any other man. In all of our wide and varied experience in meeting public men we have never found a more affable and true gentleman than the Hon. H. C. Smith, next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Excerpt from Editorial in Washington Bee It is well enough for colored men who live a long distance from the South to talk of the shotgun and what they would do. Why don't some of these brave soldiers go South and make their speeches? The Bee has great confidence in the Editor of the Atlanta Independent. It believes that he is as brave a man as the South can produce, and, brave as he is, would it be wise or judicious for him to advise the thousands of colored people there to commit acts of violence? Must Mr. Washington tell his people to take the torch and burn the houses of the citizens South? If the assailants of the colored man could be reached without doing injury to the innocent, then The Bee would advise the torch and the shotgun. There are thousands of people in the South who are friendly to the colored people, and the day will soon come when the civilized people in the South will be on top and the barbarians will be at the bottom A vote for Walsh or for the Democratic nominees is an indirect vote for Vardaman, and we say without any hesitancy that any colored voter who would cast his vote for other than the Repub- THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER.

MILLER LEON SHAW DR. G. H. BARBOUR J. H. FARMER "I know of the bravery and character of the Afro-American soldier. He saved my life at Santiago, and I have had occasion to say so in many articles and speeches. The Rough Riders were in a bad position when the ninth and tenth cavalry came rushing up the hill, carrying everything before them. The Afro-American soldier has the faculty of coming to the front when he is needed most. In the Civil War he came 200,000 strong, and I believe he saved the Union."—President Roosevelt. Fall in and forward to victory. Forward boys, we're going in to lick them! The Negro vote is a purchasable one.—Senator Tillman. The Democracy is disrupted, and on Nov 6th will be completely routed. The danger which threatens our national life is the Democratic disregard for law. Remember that Southern Deinocrats burn Afro-Americans at the stake for alleged crimes. The elections of the South are settled in the "white primary." The Afro-American has no equal part in them. The Republican Party recognizes ability and rewards it accordingly. All Afro-Americans look alike to Democrats. If we can't get the Negro out of politics peacefully and legally, by the eternal gods we'll do it anyway.—Senator Tillman. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for Congress in every district. A Republican Congress is needed to uphold the President. Take off your coat and work for your Republican Congressional nominee until the evening of November 6th; then we can chout and yell until we are hoarse. Get a hustle upon yourself; see your neighbors and your neighbors' neighbors, and induce them to vote for the Republican nominee for Congress in your district. The Republican Party has done more for humanity, for human liberty, and more for human progress than any other party since the stars first sang together.—Senator Fairbanks As the boys in 'or buckled on the knapsack and clutched the gun, resolved that the government should be preserved, so today the same spirit animates them and their progeny. "The fact that apathy is general," say Speaker Cannon, "augurs well for the Republican Party. The people are busy and satisfied. They want to leave well enough alone, and when they are thus disposed they are not likely to break away from the Republican Party. We had loads of apathy two years ago, and you know what happened at the general election." THE OUTLOOK Before,THE PLAINDEALER makes its appearance again the issues of the campaign will have been settled at the ballot box, and we verily believe that the course and policies of Theodore Roosevelt will be upheld by the election of a Republican Congress.

Gnyder Was Riding in Rapid Automobile When It Struck a Pole While Trying to Avoid a Boy—He Was Under Indictment in St. Louis on Charge of Bribery. Kansas City, Oct. 28.—Robert M. Snyder, millionaire capitalist of this city and under indictment in St. Louis on a charge of bribery, is dead in this city, as a result of injuries received in an automobile accident Saturday. Robert Snyder was the father of the late Carey Snyder, who was convicted of holding up and robbing a Kansas City pawnbroker of $6000 in diamonds in 1900. He did not go to the penitentiary, but Judge Woolford of the criminal court here paroled him. Young Snyder went west after his parole. While a fugitive from justice he was murdered near Hillsboro, Ore., several months ago. Carey Snyder's body was found about a month ago. He was believed to be one of three men who robbed a bank at Forest Grove, Ore., an dthe Oregon officers were trying to apprehend him for that crime. He had been tried for highway robbery in this city before going to Oregon, and was released on parole. Robert Snyder, in his own automobile, which was driven by Frank M. Schroeder, an expert driver who came here recently from Cleveland, Ohio, was riding eastward and just passing a moving trolley car, when the chaufeur saw a small boy jump from in front of the car directly in the path of the machine. In an effort to save the boy Schroeder turned the machine toward the curb and as it struck, Snyder, who was in the rear seat, was thrown against an iron trolley pole and his skull fractured at the base of the brain. The boy, whose name, was Arthur Rodell, was knocked down and fatally injured. Schroeder was not hurt. Mr. Snyder was taken to Agnew hospital, nearby, but died without regaining consciousness. Young Rodell, who was 13 years of age, sustained a fracture of the skull and internal injuries and died late tonight. Schroeder was taken to the police station, where he made a statement of the affair and was later released. Schroeder says he was not driving over 10 miles an hour. He claims to be an expert chauffeur, and that he worked in an automobile factory in Cleveland before coming to Kansas City. Notwithstanding Schroeder's statement that the machine was not going faster than 10 miles an hour, witnesses say that the automobile driven by Schroeder was racing with another automobile. Robert M. Snyder was indicted for boodling during the crusade conducted by Joseph W. Folk, who was the circuit attorney there. Snyder was convicted, but he appealed the case to the supreme court of the state and was remanded for a new trial. The case never came up, as it was dismissed for want of necessary testimony a few weeks ago. An indictment against Snyder was procured about a month ago, when the necessary witnesses were again brought within the jurisdiction of the court. That indictment is still pending. The charge against Snyder was of bribing members of the house of delegates in St. Louis to get a traction franchise. Robert M. Snyder is survived by a widow and three sons.

GAS BLAST RAZES BLOCK. In Coffeyville, Kan., Terrific Explosion Slays Two and Injures Many. Topeka, Kan., Oct. 30.—Two persons were killed, one is missing, four were seriously injured, and 20 more were more or less injured in a terrific explosion of natural gas, which completely demolished five two story buildings at Coffeyville, Kan., at noon Sunday.

M Pearl Kellar. Three year old son of Mrs. Kellar. It is supposed the gas escaped from a leaking main some where in a block and that a sufficient quantity having accumulated, it became ignited, causing the explosion. The buildings were in a row on East Eighth street, and were occupied by a real estate office, a restaurant and three stores. The second floors were occupied by rooming houses.

A DARING ROBBERY SEVENTY DROWNED OVER $200,000 STOLEN FROM OFFICER IN ST. PETERSBURG Band of Fifteen Revolutionists Use Bombs With Deadly Effect—Fight Ensued, Lasting 20 Minutes and Extending for Several Blocks—Wholesale Arrests Follow. St. Petersburg, Oct. 29.—The most daring robbery plot in the history of St. Petersburg was executed about noon, when a band of about 15 revolutionists attacked and robbed an employee of the customs service of about $200,000. They wrecked the vehicle in which the official was riding with a bomb, but were driven off by two gendarmes forming the cashier's escort, who made defense of the treasure. When the bomb exploded, the cashier, as assistant and two guards jumped out of the carriage and fled in a panic, abandoning the money, but the gendarmes, though wounded by the explosion, opened fire on the revolutionists. They were soon joined by some passing soldiers and several policemen, and the robbers, who were mere youths, fled before the growing numbers of the defenders of the treasure. A running fight ensued, lasting 15 minutes and extending for several blocks from the scene of the outrage. The revolutionists, who threw two bombs in their flight, lost two killed and had five of their number captured. The firing of the rifles and revolvers and the explosions of the bombs were audible throughout the business district and caused great excitement. After the explosion $120,000 in paper was recovered from the wreck of the cashier's carriage. The panic stricken cashier bewalled the loss of $180,000. Later in the day, however, the total amount in the cashier's possession was officially stated to have been $330,000, of which a package containing $195,000 was stolen, but it is said that the amount of booty may be raised to $200,000 as the count of the smaller packages has not yet been finished. The scene of the attack was carefully chosen in a narrow street off the Ekaterinki canal and overhung by a house from a window of which the first bomb was thrown. Immediately after the explosion a group of revolutionists on the sidewalk drew revolvers and attempted to surround the carriage, with the result already detailed. The force of the explosion shook three blocks of houses and many of these now show the marks of bullets fired during the fight between the revolutionists and officers. In spite of wholesale arrests and the cordoning at noon of the scene of the robbery, the majority of the revolutionists have made good their escape with the booty amounting to $200,000. Up to midnight the police had no definite clews and released all those persons arrested except the five who were captured during the battle. None of these has been identified. All of them persistently refuse to answer questions, but it is supposed the crime was organized and executed by a band of Moscow and Warsaw revolutionists, of whose coming to St. Petersburg the police were warned 10 days ago. It is said that because of the intimate knowledge of the method of transferring money the men had a confederate in the customs house service. SHE LOVES HER FOUR HUSBANDS New York Woman Bigamist Knew How to Handle the Boys. New York.—In the police court recently a cook, who was Miss Augusta Brunning before she admitted marrying four men, appeared before Magistrate Steinert, charged with bigamy, and was held in $5000 bail for the grand jury, after waiving examination. Of her four husbands, three were in court. "I did not know I was doing wrong by marringing these men. They were all so nice and sweet and I loved them all. Besides, they worried me to marry them so much," said the woman. Delays Forest Reservation. The proposed extension of the Priest river reserve of Idaho into Washington so it will include some three or four hundred thousand acres of additional timber land already withdrawn from the public entry in Stevens county for that purpose has been postponed until congress convenes, and Forester Pinchot will take up the matter in person with members of the state congressional delegation who are opposed to so large an extension of the reserve in Stevens county. The withdrawal of lands represent an immense timber forest whose area has been much damaged by fire of late. Officials of the forest service say that the only way to save this timber is to include it within a forest reserve.

ELECTRIC TRAIN AT ATLANTIC CITY, RUNS OFF BRIDGE Train of Three Cars Loaded With People Plunged Into 30 Feet of Water— There Was no Escaping From the Cars—Many Survivors Owe Lives to Heroism of Rescuers. Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 29. At least 50 persons, and in all probability 75, lost their lives in a horrible manner just outside this city at 2:30 o'clock Sunday, when a three car electric train over the Pennsylvania railroad third rail system, running about 26 miles an hour, struck a spreading rail upon the drawbridge that carries the tracks over the "Beach Thoroughfare," and plunged headlong into 35 feet of water. Every man, woman and child in the first two cars perished without even a remote fighting chance for their lives. The cars were closely vestibulated with air tight windows. There was no escaping from them. From the third car a few managed to make their way from the rear end, as this rested above water upon one of the projecting piers of the bridge. But they were cut and bruised and half drowned, and they said that there were as many more persons left in the car who could not get out. James L. Curtis, the conductor of the train, is alive, but he is so frenzied with grief and shock that he is unable to say just how many tickets he collected. His estimates vary from 86 to 130. Passengers who survive the wreck declare that there were at least 100 persons in the three cars, which have a capacity of about 58 each. Every effort is being made toward recovering the bodies. A hundred yachts and motor boats and skiffs are out at the drawbridge, filling the waters of the narrow thoroughfare. These boats are manned by men who are working like fiends, although there is little they can do. A wrecking train is drawn up just above the spot where the three submerged cars are lying. But its powerful derricks can not attempt to raise the cars, for the bridge is a light structure and any strong pull would drag the derrick into the thoroughfare. It has been impossible, so far, to attach hoisting chains to the cars. In the light of acetylene automobile lamps, electric searchlights and locomotive headlights, there are 200 men in the small boats, grappling for bodies that may possibly be swept out of the cars, with oyster tongs and heavy fish lines. Ill Fated Train. The train composed of three cars left Camden on time—at 1 o'clock. At the controller handle was Motorman Walter Scott of Camden. Charles Wood of Camden was the brakeman, and James L. Curtis, also of that city, the conductor. The usual crowd of Sunday passengers was aboard, some of them Philadelphians going down to the beach to try the new electric road, which has been in operation only since September. SCIENCE LEADER IS DYING. New York World Says Mrs. Eddy Has Incarable Cancer. The New York World says: "Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church and one of the most remarkable women of her generation, is dying at her home in Concord, N. H., as the result of an incurable cancer." The World will allege that Mrs. Eddy's denial that she is ill is a falsehood, and that her declaration that she drives daily in her carriage, is untrue. It will assert that the woman who drives by the advocates of the "cult" not Mrs. Eddy, but is Mrs. Parmela J. Leonard of Brooklyn, who is the head of the Christian Science church in that place. The World declares that Mrs. Eddy's every act is today controlled by Calvin A. Frye, her secretary and personal attendant, who acts as footman in the various drives. Alfred Farlow, chief of the Christian science propaganda, issued a sweeping denial of the charges in the New York World that Mrs. Eddy is dying of cancer; that a Boston specialist is in constant attendance on her; that she is under the subjugation of Calvin Frye and that Mrs. Pamella Leonard of Brooklyn impersonates her upon the daily exhibition drives. Heroines of Fiction The November Century frontispiece in color, Becky Sharp of "Vanity Fair," will be the first of an unusually interesting series of color pictures to be called "Heroines of Fiction."

The supplies were saved. Troops are now pursuing the Pulajanes. LATE NEWS NOTES. The Walker Lake Indian reservation was opened at noon last Monday and half an hour after the signal admitting thousands of prospectors had been sounded countless mining claims had been located as townites and mushroom cities are now springing up at the mouths of the Dutchman and Cottonwood creeks, in the vicinity of which the richest mining territory in Nevada is supposed to lie. Approximately 650,000 acres of vacant unappropriated public land in the north half of the Colville Indian reservation, embracing almost the entire north half and forming a tract almost equal in size to the entire state of Rhode Island, have been withdrawn from public entry under any of the land laws except the mineral laws, with the view of making a government forest reserve to be known as the Colville reserve.

A sale of Idaho state lands was held at Rathdrum last Monday by C. J. Munson, state land commissioner, assisted by E. L. Marvin, chief clerk. Lumbermen from all over the county were represented, and the bidding was spirited. Timber was sold under a 15 year lease, 7840 acres realizing $127., 432. The average price paid an acre was $1.25. Muriel Williams, aged 15 years, daughter of George Williams an expressman at Pullman, Wash., was run down and instantly killed the other morning by a freightcar while on her way to school.

Nelson had just received a letter from his wife in Sweden, stating that her health was failing rapidly and it is supposed to be the cause of his action. The officials of the Pennsylvania railroad have been unable to determine the direct cause of Sunday's disaster at Atlantic City. The trucks of the cars when raised out of the water were carefully examined by officials of the company and there was nothing about either wheels or other parts to throw any light on the subject. A thorough examination of the bridge showed the mechanism to be in perfect shape. Evidence shows that the rails were exactly in place. Mrs.F.W.Esgate was accidently shot to death recently at her own home, about four miles south of Coeur d'-Alene, Idaho.

It has just completed a big meeting at East St. Louis and is trying now to form an alliance with the American Federation of Labor. It is to be a benevolent trust and will harm no one but speculators in farm products. They are to be wiped out of existence. Our "plan is to bring prudoeer and consumer together," said Otto Doederlein, who will manage the Chicago office. "At present the middleman takes all the profits. The producer gets starvation prices and the consumer buys for three or four times what the producer would sell for. We expect to eliminate manipulation of prices and cut out the middleman's profits." Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock has executed a contract with the Pacific Portland Cement company consolidated of San Francisco for furnishing 27,000 barrels, more or less, of Portland cement for the Sunnyside and Tie ton irrigation projects.

Peary, wife of the explorer, is quoted as saying: "I feel just as sure as I am living at this moment that my husband has found the North Pole, and that he will soon be home to tell us all about it." Eugene Schmitz, mayor of San Francisco, is at present in the British capital spending much of his time in visiting London municipal directors in order to see how affairs are administered, and the class of building that is in vogue. Mr. Schmitz expressed the opinion that in reconstructing San Francisco they must build for the people who will live there 200 years hence, as well as today, and said that was the reason for his visit to Europe. After February 1 next the American Bank Note company will manufacture all United States postage stamps. Under a contract made public the concern must deliver 27,000,000 stamps daily six times a week. Meilina, Morocco.—The sultan's forces have been victorious in a battle on the borders of Mullaya. A strong agitation against foreigners is reported to be in progress in Morocco City. The controversy as to who was the youngest soldier of the civil war has probably been settled in favor of Perry Byan of Seattle. He enlisted as a drummer boy in company D. 24th Iowa volunteers on August 22, 1862, at the age of nine years and four months. He was born October 22, 1852, in Kane county, Illinois.

Hampton, assistant secretary of the United States Trust company of New York city, shot and killed Victoria C. Taczkow, a beautiful young woman, in the Hotel Griffon, in West Ninth street, and then committed suicide. Hampton was infatuated with the woman and they had been together many times during the past month. They had been at the hotel, where the tragedy occurred, since early yesterday. Whether or not the tragedy was the result of a pact between them to die together, has not been determined, but the circumstances seem to show that the young woman had agreed to die with her companion. Mutiny Occurs at Harbin. Mutiny Occurs at Harbin. The truth of reports that serious military troubles have occurred at Harbin, Manchuria, is admitted in army circles, but it was impossible to obtain exact details. A censorship apparently has been imposed on Harbin press dispatches, but according to reports here several battalions have mutinied and the situation has become more serious on account of Chinese bandits who are plundering almost to the gates of Harbin.

Commendable attention is being given to fire drills in the schools at Davenport. Two distinguished Japanese visitors, Prince Hasebe, a member of the Japanese parliament, and Yashachiro Yamashita, visited Spokane recently as guests of W. F. Meier and George A. Lee, who were classmates of Yamashita at the University of Nebraska. Following a recent declaration on Governor A. E. Mead that sessions of the supreme court should be held in Spokane during a portion of the year to accommodate the attorneys of eastern Washington, a call has been sent out by Judge William E.

Last Saturday it was reported the Skagit river immediately south of Sedro was a mile and a half wide and still rising. The water from the river in the Sterling bend district has gone over the Great Northern right of way and it is feared will carry away the road's grading. The damage to mills and lumber, farms and stock is inestimable. The town of Minkler is standing in a lake three feet deep and many houses have been abandoned. Hundreds of five and ten dollar gold pieces are being "shaved" by some unknown man in Seattle. So well is the work done that it has escaped detection by some of the most expert bank cashiers. The steamboat service to Brewster and Bridgeport is very irregular, owing to low water. During high water the run to Wenatchee is made in 10 hours, but at this season it requires sometimes as much as two days to make the run down river. R. A. Jackson, Columbia county's representative sheepman, has made arrangements for a display of his famous Rambouillet sheep at the international stock show to be held in Chicago, commencing December 1, and will leave for that city with a carcad on November 10. His Rambouillet sheep won the gold medal at the St. Louis exposition. IDAHO NEWS.

Keys held an inquest over the remains of James O'Neil, which were found by a prospector in the upper Clearwater country last August. Evidences of foul play are claimed to have been unearthed and the verdict of the coroner's jury has been withheld pending further investigation. Mr. O'Neil was a prospector, and just before his disappearance he sold a claim for $5000, and it is believed that he had this money on him when he left here. Mud fell at Moravia in a shower for three hours Saturday, constituting the most remarkable phenomenon ever witnessed in the Idaho panhandle. Analysis showed the mud to be formed of five volcanic dust such as exists in the Walla Walla, Palouse and Big Bend districts of Washington. The presumption is that the enormous clouds of dust raised by the gale in these sections was carried into Idaho and fell with the rainstorm. Robert Lansdon, republican candidate for state secretary, arrived in Boise Saturday morning prepared to hand in his resignation. It was found, however, that no change can be made at this time. Melting snow has raised the Clearwater and Saturday morning several hundred cords of $6.50 wood went out under a boom in the east end. The falsework on one of the piers of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company's bridge was also washed away. Several thousand cords of wood are string along the banks of the Clearwater. The new Presbyterian church at Sandpoint is completed. The Hope Athletic club is flourishing. There are 36 members on the roll.

Following the organization of a company to handle the wool clip of Montana next season in the interest of the growers, a strenuous effort is now being made to get all the sheepmen of the state inside the organization. After a wild ride of nearly six blocks down Wyoming street, in Butte, behind a team of maddened horses, Joseph Gardiner, a well known hack driver, was dashed to death against a telegraph post. Harry Penna, convicted of murder in the first degree for having shot and killed Mrs. Susan Bryant in Butte last April, was to have been sentenced to death by hanging in Judge Donlan's court last week, but upon the application of Alex Mackel of counsel for the defense for additional time in which to perfect the appeal to the supreme court, the judge continued the time for the passing of sentence until Saturday, November 10.

Biddy Bishop, Louie Long's manager, has issued a challenge to Battling Nelson to meet Long before the club offering the best purse, a Spokane club preferred. Articles of agreement for a finish fight between Joe Gans and Kid Hermann of Cuicago have been signed. The terms are 133 pounds two hours before the fight, the winner to receive 65 per cent and the loser 36 per cent of the purse, the fight to take place before the club offering the largest purse. Promoter Coffroth has decided he does not want either Terry McGovern or Young Corbett as attractions at his Colma club in San Francisco and has withdrawn his offer of a $20,000 purse for the winner to meet Jimmy Britt. Jeffries denies that he will box with Jack O'Brien at the police benefit in Los Angeles. There is trouble at San Francisco among the fight promoters and Eddie Graney is suing for an injunction to restrain James W. Coffroth from bringing off the fight between Kaufmann and Berger. Tommy Corcoran will succeed Hughey Jennings as manager of the Baltimore Orioles. An offer of $15,000 for Young Corbett and Terry McGovern to decide their superiority with gloved fists, has been wired to Harry Pollock, manager of Young Corbett by Al Hereford, manager of the Eureka Athletic club of Baltimore. The Abbe, 2:10 1.2, is by the records the fastest three-year-old colt of the season of 1906. There is a new boxer who will bear watching.

Cannot Attend with White Children— Japanese Minister at Washington, D.C., Makes Complaint and Federal Government Is Making an Investigation. San Francisco.—The announcement of the coming of Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor to the coast to investigate the alleged exclusion of Japanese children from the public schools of this city has not changed the temper of the board of education on the question. President Roosevelt, the educators are satisfied, has been incorrectly advised about the conditions here and the real action of the board of education, and they are convinced that when the matter is made clear to the president's personal representative, Mr. Metcalf, who is a Pacific coast man, all talk of their action leading to international complications will cease. "It appears that there has been much misinformation sent to the authorities at Washington," said School Director Oliver. "Judging from the attitude of the Japanese government, it is also apparent that the Japanese at home labor under the delusion that Japanese children have actually been excluded from the schools of the city without any other provision being made for them. "Japanese children have not been and will not be excluded from the schools of San Francisco. For their benefit and for the benefit of the white children, we have thought it wise to provide a separate school for all children of oriental parentage. The statute of the state school law of California under which we do this is emphatic. School trustees are empowered to establish such a school, and when it is established the attendance of Japanese and Chinese children to it is made mandatory." The Japanese consul in San Francisco has sent a letter to Governor Pardee protesting against the ruling of the San Francisco board of education that Japanese children can not attend public schools where white children are taught. He also enters a protest regarding the large number of robberies and murders of Japanese in San Francisco. Governor Pardee says he will seriously consider the protests before replying. Will Be Given a Square Deal. The text of a cablegram to Ambassador Wright at Tokio, given out by the state department bearing on the alleged discrimination against Japanese laborers and school children in San Francisco, discloses that the United States took prompt action to acquaint the Japanese government of the purely local character of the case. The dispatch answers one from Ambassador Wright calling attention to the view taken by the newspapers of Tokio, and makes plain that this government will not tolerate any other treatment of Japanese than that accorded the most friendly of other nations. ENGLAND HAS A FEW BOYCOTTS Everybody Seems to be Boycotting Somebody Else. Boycotts of every description are raging in England, and while Irish men, the first users of the weapon, look on with equanimity, their bitter antagonist and historic enemy, the London Times, is boycotting the book publishers, and they in turn are re a listng with all their tremendous power. The newspapers and independent soap makers are boycotting the soap trust and the trust magnates are boycotting the independents and are threatiing g to withdraw their advertisements from the hostile journals. American canned meats are being boycotted by certain trade journals, and trade interests and newspapers are being boycotted by strikes in many places throughout Great Britain. Woman suffragists, becoming enraged at every conspicuous statesmen and politician because of the rough treatment they received in the outer lobby of the house of commons, are planning to boycott these statesmen and politicians whose interests are accessible to commercial attack. A practical boycott is being maintained by all socialists against every individual, party or trade interests which puts obstacles in their way. Organized railway employees and other trade unionists are boycotting politically such of their members as seek to prevent them from working with the socialists for the betterment of the conditions of labor. English churchmen and Catholics are morally boycotting the supporters of what they call the non conformist education bill, while the free churchmen in and out of parliament breathe war against everybody, particularly the peers of the rela, who tries to thwart the efforts to secure a national state-maintained education, without sectarian tests and wholly controlled by the people. An advantage in having nothing to give is in the freedom of the assertion of what would be done under other circumstances. A man who builds from the bottom must be a part of the time out of sight.

It is a fact to be gratified about that cocoa and chocolate are conductive to health, because they are so delicious that their lovers and users are growing in number so rapidly as to require almost a daily revision of statistics, says Cent Per Cent. If there were any hurtful tendency accompanying their use the country would be facing a condition baffling all remedies, for the delights of cocoa and of chocolate using give them a hold upon appetite that it is next to impossible to break. It does not seem a long time since Rutherford B. Hayes was president, and yet within that short range of time, the use of cocoa in one form or another has increased in the United States 2,000 percent, and the consumption of cocoa and chocolate by Americans has more than doubled in five years. Not alone, however, is the attention challenged by the enormous increase in the use of cocoa, but an even more remarkable fact is brought to light by authorites on the subject. We refer to the fact that study of the statistics gathered by Hogins & Lee, less than eight years ago the United States held only fifth place as manufacturer of cocoa and chocolate, England, Germany, Holland and France taking precedence in about the order named. Today we hold first place, both as manufacturers and consumers of cocoa and chocolate, by a comfortable margin, and are increasing our lead so rapidly that it is with the utmost difficulty that the American manufacturers are able to meet the demands upon them. In 1905 the United States consumed nearly 400,000 bags of cocoa, or about one-third of the world's entire crop. Even at this rate of growth the industry would be destined to become a commanding figure in the commercial world, but the consumption of cocoa is enlarging with the population, and at an increasing ratio; that is, more people are using it, and present users are consuming larger quantities. OVER A CLIFF. ```markdown ``` To go out after game in the hill country of India means that the hunter will find game, says Captain Glasfurd, the author of "Rifle and Romance in the Indian Jungle." One morning, followed by his shikarees, or native hunters, Captain Glasfurd was out looking over a rough hillside for bear. He had passed round the curve of a high ledge when he found himself in front of a large, low-roofed cave. On the sandy floor of the entrance to the cave were the fresh ingolng tracks of a bear. Our position was a sufficiently hazardous one. The ledge was extremely narrow, overhung by rock, and on the verge of a perpendicular face of sandstone. We began quietly retracing our way. But scarcely had we taken one step when a horrible disturbance occurred in the depths of the cavern. This hastened our movements; but our haste was as nothing compared to the rapidity of the eruption that was going on behind us as the bear came yelling and scrambling out of the cavern. For me there was nothing but a swift whip round to face this horrid denouement, my rifle not even permitted to reach shoulder. To right, a blank wall of smooth cliffside; to left, a swift descent to the unknown over the edge of the cliff, and in front a raging, roaring mass of black hair shooting toward me with the speed of a runaway motor car. "Bang!" goes my rifle, and the next moment I am enjoying a strange, slow-moving nightmare, one of the most vivid of its memories being the smooth-brushed appearance of the bear's forehead as her jaws closed on my right thigh. We bump and whirl swiftly downward. A semi-unconsciousness held me, and then came a shock. I saw the body of the bear hurled far from me into space, and I realized that I was clutching at something. It was a little tree that I gripped in the strength of despair. I was hanging to it, head downward, on the face of the cliff itself. My Jat orderly's voice soon sounded in my ear. The plucky fellow had crawled down that awful slope and managed to seize my hands. I was somehow drawn upward to the ledge. Then my gaze fell upon that solitary supling, rooted in some mere chink in the rock. There was no other tree within many yards. Two months on my back afforded scope for thought as to my extraordinary piece of luck. So Appropriate. She had a formula by means of which she let her sultors down easy.

The latest dispatch from Arvada, Wyo., declares that renegade Ute Indians are intrenched in a strong position in the hills adjacent to Arvada and that the Tenth and Sixth cavalry troops are reconnoitering the country preparatory to closing in on the redskins. Apparently the object of the troops is to awe the Indians with a display of superior force and thus secure the surrender of the Indians without bloodshed. The Utes are determined not to give in to the soldiers unless they have to, believing if they would it will mean their return to Utah, where they say they can not secure enough to eat. The Utes have been active in laying in a large supply of ammunition at Cheyenne and Gillette together with provisions, and if the temper of the leading tribesmen can be taken as an indication that they propose to fight or at least make a show of resistance to secure concessions from the soldiers and be permitted to make their way to the Cheyenne reservation and remain there pending their disposition by Washington. Wednesday night the camp fires of the Indians are blazing brightly and the only evidence of life is the occasional flitting of the shadow of some warrior by fires. The Utes are not painted nor aer they dancing. It is feared that in the event of a clash between the soldiers and Indians the redskins will scatter and wreak their vengeance upon the settlers. Ranches are being converted into fortresses and every precaution taken te meet the Indians if they come that way. The wildest excitement prevails in the vicinity of the Moorehead, Mont., on account of the deprections of the Indians. Wagonloads of women and children are being driven to places of safety in fear of more serious trouble. The Spear ranch is being converted into a fortress and well stocked with guns and ammunition. The ranch blacksmith shop, a log building, is now heavily embanked and loopholes have been bored in the walls. The Iniaus are becoming more bold. Dick Spear and E. H. Gottins, who encountered a band of 30 Indians, were fired upon and one of their horses killed. The Spear roundup wagon was looted by a band of Utes, who left the camp cook bound and gagged and carried off all supplies and bedding. Colonel Hensel, who was government scout and interpreter in the battle at Wounded Knee, says the Indians mean fight, and gives it as his opinion that they have sent messengers to seek the assistance of the warlike Cheyennes. The Idinns say they want President Roosevelt to give them the Powder river valley for hunting ground, and persist in their determination not to be taken back to Utah. LATE NEWS ITEMS.

Duke's Work Near Valparaiso Charles Darwin, the famous English scientist, once traveled through South America; and one of the best accounts of Chile is contained in his "Journal of Researchers." This description of the Andes is from that portion of his narrative in which he recounts a camping trip in the mountains near Valparaiso. Darwin says: "The evening was fine, and the atmosphere so clear that the masts of vessels in the bay of Valparaiso, although no less than twenty-six miles distant, could be distinguished clearly as little black streaks. A ship doubling the point under sail appeared as a bright, white speck. "In the morning we climbed up the rough mass of green stone which crowns the summit of the Andes. This rock, as frequently happens, was much shattered and broken into huge angular fragments. I observed, however, one remarkable circumstance—namely, that many of the surfaces presented every degree of freshness, some appearing as if broken the day before, while on others lichens had either just become, or had long grown, attached. I so fully believed that this was owing to the frequent earthquakes, that I felt inclined to hurry from below each loose pile. "We spent the day on the summit, and I never enjoyed one more thoroughly. Chile, bounded by the Andes and the Pacific, was seen as in a map. "Who can avoid wondering at the force which has upheaved these mountains, and even more so at the countless ages which it must have required to have broken through, removed and leveled whole masses of them? "I wondered how any mountaul chain could supply such masses and not have been utterly obliterated. We must not now reverse the wonder, and doubt whether all powerful time can grind down mountains—even the glantic Cordillera—into gravel and mud." The Romantic Air of Frisea. San Francisco is permeated with an air of romance and adventure. Now where may one turn without being reminded of the legends that have been woven around the forty-niners and their immediate followers. The names of the streets and of the business blocks, such as Kearney, Sutter, Montgomery, Dupont, Flood, Crocker and Sharon, bring to the mind of the visitor long forgotten stories of riot or adventure and of fortunes whose vastness once excited his wonder or made him incredulous. To read the words that are painted upon the street cars of San Francisco is to be carried back in fancy to the time when the city was peopled only by those who, having turned from all else that men hold dear, had gone in search of fortune and found it, always just as they were about to give up in despair and die of starvation or succumb to the hardships with which human endurance could no longer cope—Chicago Record-Herald.
