They certainly gave the colored brother a cold deal in the State House this session. We can afford to loose if men of supposed character can stoop so as to damn their own souls with lies which are patent on their own face to accomplish our undoing The treatment accorded the PLAINDEALER by the republicans of the tenth assembly is a direct slap at the entire colored population of Montana. We are satisfied that there are at least some broadgauged republicans in this assembly who if they had known the real facts and had not been misled by falsehoods, who would have been protesting even onto this hour against the outrageous and unfair methods used in repudiating the action of last Sunday's caucus. Shao, J. S. M. Dixon We are glad to see Congressman Dixon promoted to the U. S. Senate. He has by diligent and hard work in the interests of the people, gained their confidence as has no other man in this great common-wealth. He is a broad-gauged man, and rather would his right to perish than would he countenance such a deal as was given our people by the present Legislature, and had he been a member thereof we know there would have been a different tale. He has shown a keen interest in our labors in behalf of the people we represent, and along with others has been one of our staunch supporters. Give us more broad-gauged republicans like our Senator-Elect. We could hardly conceive that some of the Lewis and Clarke delegation would break ground. We want to say to our Ana-anda friends that W. R. Allen is all right all the time, and is worthy of their support all along the time. Of course this is great news for the black phalanx in Butte, with the mayoralty election right at hand. And Nero still fiddles while Rome burns. And what a deal the Lewis and Clark County Commissioners gave Old timers like Jas. Crump, Helena, Montana, Friday, January 11, 1907. Gus Mason and others given the marble heart. We hoped better, at least, from Mr. Richardson and Mr. Carmichael. But perhaps they might have had a boss too. REPUBLICANS DENY THEIR LOYAL ALLY THE COLORED VOTERS The republican board of county commissioners we have been informed gave as their reason for not appointing James Crump that owing to the run down condition of the lawn, that the job would be a burden for a man of his age. Now isn't that the limit? We think so. Hon. JOHN MAGINNIS Mayor of Butte Whose Police Force is to be Investigated. LOGALS DISTRIBUTION OF The Colored Voters of the State LOCALS The Colored Voters of the State Are Righteously Indignant at this Unfair Deal John Lucas and Geo. Miller were over from Missoula this week. Lucas was a candidate for a position in the House; but he is in common with all other colored men who were aspirants, and consequently was left out in the cold, notwithstanding the fact that he was from Joe Dixon's town. The Colored voters of Montana received a solar plexis blow from the Grand Old Party, from which they will not recover for some time to come. The Republicans have said by their actions, not words, "You may vote for us; you may take off your coats and work for us; but when it comes to the emolluments of office, we have none of that for you." Where does the square deal come in? We are surprised that this is the attitude that Republicans over the State have put themselves in. We are not surprised at anything that would happen in this country which is boss ridden. The man who happens to meet his displeasure invariably "gets it in the neck." Some old excuse, and he even lines up a whole state to do his bidding. To make a caucus reverse itself, and repudiate its own act without warrant or excuse is he record of the Republicans in Montana. In order to displace a colored man who won out on his merits, and was defeated by trickery and Lies as black as the man's heart who told them,—a slap at the race, which it will resent in no uncertain manner. C. F. Jones of Butte is in the city; he is the guest of Jas. Crump. Mrs. Lee of Butte is a visitor in the Capital City this week. One of the old timers in Montana, by the name of Eberson, who came here and camped week before the Legislative Session, has departed a sadder, but wiser man. As he was taking his leave he was heard uttering deprecations on Senator Dooley, and everybody else, including the owner of THE PLAINDEALER. [Name not visible] J. B. Reed, David Gordon, M. O. J. Arnett, B. F. Hooper, Jas. Crump and L. Eberson were in evidence in and around the Grandon last week. Mrs. C. C. Matthews has been on the sick list for the past week, but is now convalescing. Chas. Porter Groves has returned to the city, after a long stay at his mining claim near Toston. Mr. A. Marshall continues to be on the sick list. The proceedings at the St. James Literary Society on last Wednesday evening, despite the cold weather was quite well attended, and the debate was quite interesting. It was unanimously decided to petition our representative in Congress to support the Roberts Bill, which is now pending in the National House.

The coming of Schumann-Heink to the Spokane theater in Spokane on January 15 is attracting the most unusual interest. Schumann-Heink is apart from all other singers inasmuch as she has two distinct qualities of voice; a deep toned contralto and a powerful ringing mezzo soprano, both of unsurpassed quality and sweetness. The superb voice and genial, wholesome personality of the artist are known everywhere, and little that is new remains to be said of one of the foremost singers of the world. Her Spokane program will delight all lovers of song. It will consist of brilliant operatic numbers from the Italian, English and German composers, a group of Hungarian Gypsie songs by Brahms, three numbers by Schubert, and others by Liszt, Schumann and Rossi. Miss Helen Schau, a distinguished pianist of wide reputation in England and on the continent, will be heard in three solo numbers. There ca be no doubt of the royal welcome to be given Mme. Schumann-Heink in Spokane. The vocabulary of the critics has almost been exhausted in praise of this wonderful songstress. Peoria, Ill., Jan. 1.—Mrs. Henry Anderson, wife of n prominent retired farmer of Cambridge, Ill., was shot dead in her bed early in the morning by an unidentified person. A negro, arrested at Calva, 15 miles away, is being held as the murderer. ORTURED WITH GRAVEL. Since Using Doan's Kidney Pills Not a Single Stone Has Formed. Capt. S. L. Crute, Adjt. Wm. Watts camp, U. C. V., Roanoke, Va., says: I suffered a long, long time with my back, and felt draggy and listless and tired all the time. I lost from my usual weight, 225, to 170. Urinary passages were too frequent and I have had to get up often at night. I had headaches and dizzy spells also, but "I suffered a long long time with my back, and felt draggy and listless and tired all the time. I lost from my usual weight, 225, to 170. Urinary passages were too frequent and I have had to get up often at night. I had headaches and dizzy spells also, but my worst suffering was from renal colic. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I passed a gravel stone as big as a bean. Since then I have never had an attack of gravel, and have picked up to my former health and weight. I am a well man and give Doan's Kidney Pills credit for it." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box Pester Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Death is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the mucous tube. When this tube is inflamed you have an inflamed or imperfect hearing, and when it is inflamed you hear the result, and unless the inflammation can be cut out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; because the area is caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. we will give One Hundred Dollars for any amount of heathness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be treated by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

On the same day that bandits attempted to secure $25,000 from the Burlington railroad in Montana through blackmail, an attempt was also made to hold up the management of the Billings, Mont., sugar factory for the same amount. Neither scheme worked. Mrs. William A. Clark, wife of the Montana senator, has returned to the United States with their 5 year old child. This is the first time that Mrs. Clark has been in the United States in two years. She will go on to Washington for the winter session soon as conditions permit. When the session closes he will return to Paris. The senator said that they would entertain at their home during the winter The trial of C. D. Schmidt at Helena on the charge of killing his wife which has just commenced, is likely to be somewhat sensational, owing to the fact that letters were found on the dead woman which indicated that she had a soldier lover at Fort Assiniboine, who was the direct cause of the tragedy. The Silver Bow Bar association, at a meeting in Butte, has agreed unanimously on an increase of legal fees. The attorneys state that the increased cost of living has made the raise in their scale imperative. Butte, Mont.—A sensation was sprung recently when Mrs. George W. Bourquinn, wife of District Judge Bourquinn, one of the best known men of the city, began an action for separate maintenance, alleging in her complaint that the judge had been untrue to her and bringing into the case a certain pretty young woman law librarian. F. P. Smith has been arrested by the police of Billings on the charge of attempting to blackmail the Billings Sugar company of $25,000. It was Smith who warned the police of the alleged plot. He asserts his innocence, declaring that he simply overheard th conversation relative to the proposed dynamite outrage. Secretary Hitchcock has entered a compromise for $156,000 growing out of alleged timber depredations. This compromise is the outcome of the suits begun several years ago against companies in the northwest charged with denuding the public lands of timber. A year or more ago suits were fought in the federal courts of Montana against the Bitter Root Developing company, the Anaconda Mining company, the Anaconda Copper company, the Anaconda Copper Mining company, Walter Mackay, D. J. Henessy and Margaret P. Daly, executrix of the last will of Marcus Daly; William Scallon, William W. Dixon, D. V. Bean, James B. Haggin, Lloyd Tevis and the estate of William Hearst, deceased. The department of justice was about ready to go into court when the compromise was reached involving the payment of $156,000 to the government for the depredations charged. The comptroller of the currency has declared a dividend of 20 per cent to all the creditors of the Aetna Banking company of Butte. The dividend will be paid in about a month. Frank Donohue and Herbert Baldwin, whose sentences at the Montana state prison expired Friday, were immediately rearrested by officers from Minnesota, where they escaped from prison while serving indeterminate sentences. THREE GREAT MUSICIANS. Schumann-Heink, Arthur Hartman, Moriz Rosenthal to Be at Spokane Jan., Feb. and March. The announcement that three of the greatest artists in the world are to appear in Spokane, at the Spokane theater, early in 1907, is of intense interest to music lovers of the Inland Empire. Mme. Schumann-Heink, the most talked-of and most remarkable woman singer of the day, will appear on Tuesday evening, January 15. She is breaking records wherever she sings, the theaters being packed from pit to dome. Arthur Hartmann, who will appear February 12, has gained since his arrival in New York, in October, a reputation as one of the great violinists of the age. Of the last of this illustrious trio, Moriz Rosenthal but little need be said. He is now in his prime, and is rated by many critics of note as the greatest living pianist. He will appear on March 18. Schumann-Helak—$4, $3, $2.50, $2, $1. Arthur Hartmann, violinist—$2.50, $2, $1.50, $1, 50c. Moriz Rosenthal, pianist—$3, $2.50, $2, $1.50, $1.

SAN FRANCISCO JAP SOCIALISTS ISSUE A PAPER. Copies Sent to School Board—They Issue a Statement. San Francisco secret service agents have had their attention called to a paper published in Berkeley entitled Kakuemel, or "The Revolution," issued by the Japanese socialist revolutionary party, containing an article in which reference is made to the attitude of President Roosevelt in the school question, in which the following language is used: "We believe that such a thing as the trifling legislature which the capitalist class may from time to time fling to the workers will prove of no avail; that it is about as effective as the tiny stream from a baby's water gun thrown into a raging fire. Our policy is toward the overthrow of the mikado, king and president, as representing the capitalist class, as soon as possible, and we do not hesitate as to the means. "President Roosevelt in his message to congress censures the exclusion of Japanese in California and every nation appaused his action, particularly our nation. The members of the socialist revolutionary party expected him to do as he did for the following reason: "Being aware of the industrial development and economic determinism and knowing well that his censures can not affect the iterests of the capitalist class which he represents, he had nothing to lose in appearing to do the right thing by the Japanese and thus satisfy his vanity by gaining the applause and approval of all, particularly our nation." Marked copies of the paper were sent to members of the board of education and by them turned over to the federal authorities. The board of education, by Secretary Leffingwell, has issued a statement regarding the matter, which says in part: "If any proof were needed that the Japanese are all undesirable people as residents of this country that proof has been supplied by the editorial expressions of this Japanese publication, the Revolution, which, by implication, advocates the annihilation of the first citizen of this land." The paper was mailed in Berkeley and is printed in both Japanese and English. The officials denounce the publication in the strongest terms. It was ascertained that the "Revolution" is published in this city at 617 Post street by a Japanese socialist named Shigeski Oka. The copy containing the anarchistic editorial years the date of December 20 and is the first number of the publication that has been issued. Oka claims that he does not know who wrote the inflammatory article. He says the headquarters of the Japanese revolutionary party are located in Berkeley and that the paper is published by him under arrangement with the society. The Japanese Socialistic club has headquarters in Berkeley, 2551 Parker street. The club members are six Japanese youths, who refused to give out the name of the editor. PLAN TO ENRICH FARMERS Wheat Growers' Association to Meet In Spokane The United States Wheat Growers' association, Inland Empire division, meets in Spokane on May 14 to elect officers and adopt bylaws. The organization is intended to combine the wheat growers of Washington, Oregon and Idaho under the headings of Palouse, Big Bend, Northern Pacific main line and Walla Walla districts. Each district is to have a vice president to be elected by the division as a whole. The association has made a start in central Washington. Are Marking the Boundary. The work of marking the boundary between Canada and the United States has so far progressed in the district adjacent to Washington and Idaho, where operations through a wild and rugged region have been going on for several years, that the government is now asking an appropriation to continue the work farther east, states Washington, D. C., report. The secretary of the treasury has transmitted to congress an estimate of $20,000 to be inserted in the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. It is proposed to use this money to mark that part of the boundary lying between the headwaters of the St. Croix river and Halls stream. MINING NEWS. Figuring copper at an average price, throughout the globe, of 20 1-2 cents a pound, which is a trifle below the average quotations, the mines of the world are making copper at the rate of exactly $1,000,000 a day for every day in the year, including Sundays and holidays. The Northport smelter has resumed operations. There are 30,000 tons of ore delivered from the Le Roil ready for reduction. The intention of the Le Roil mine, now that the smelter has resumed operation, is to increase the daily output of ore to about double what it is at present. The old Bodie mine situated in the Toroda creek country, about 14 miles south of Chesaw, Wash., has again changed hands, the York Mining company, the owners, having sold out to a party of Okanogan men—Frank, Charles and Walter Bibbee and Frank Williams of Chesaw and the Fisher brothers of Bodie. Boundary, B. C., ore shipments Christmas week were: To Granby smelter from Granby mines, 14,141 tons; from Emma, 33 tons; to B. C. Copper company's smelter from the Mother Lode mine, 3,450 tons; from Snowshoe mine, 650 tons; from Emma, 264 tons; to Nelson smelter from Skylark, 20 tons; to Dominion Copper company's smelter from Brooklyn-Stemwinder, 1472 tons; from Rawhide, 1,504 tons; from Sunset, 640 tons; total for week, 22,174 tons; total shipments for year to date, 1,162,034 tons. A few days ago Dr. W. A. Long and his associates gave an option to Judge J. Z. Moore of Spokane on the Standpat and Arsnoa claims, immediately adjoining the Barnes-King at Kendall, Mont., on the north, the price agreed upon being $100,000. IDAHO NEWS Walter Chambers, wanted in Orofino on the charge of assault with intent to cormmit murder, was arrested recently in Lewiston. The warrant was sworn to by Louis Jahnke. It was issued last March, since when Chambers has eluded arrest. D. E. Thomas and H. W. Bidell, employees of the Spokane International railway, attempted to cross the Pend d'Oreille river, near Wrencoe, Christmas eve. Their boat was found overturned in the river. The river was dragged and the bodies recovered. A burglary was committed at the wholesale house of the Falk Mercantile company at Boise recently, which was probably the work of professionals. They gained entrance into the wareroom and cut into the vault through a heavy wall, working from a toilet room. One hundred and eighty dollars in cash was secured and about $1000 in checks.

CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON NO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS FOR EVIL Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humiliation into the world than all other diseases combined; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It is the blackest and vilest of all disorders, wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience know by the little sore or ulcer, which usually makes its appearance first, of the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands in the groin, falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shattered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especially is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash. These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When, however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive action. S.S.S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Poison. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that S.S.S. contains a particle of mineral Write for our special book on Contagious Blood Poison, which fully explains the different stages of the trouble, and outlines a complete home treatment for all sufferers of this trouble. No charge is made for this book, and if you wish special medical advice about case or any of its symptoms, our physicians will be glad to furnish that, too, without harge. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. IDAHO NEWS. J. H. Taylor and Roy Schreives were acquitted recently in Moscow of the charge of murder of David Collier. Harry T. West, representative from Cassia county, is talked of for speaker of the Idaho house of representatives. Robert Lansdon, secretary of state-elect, charged with the embezzlement of $40 while serving as assessor of Washington county, Idaho, has been acquitted. Harry Orchard, who confessed to the assassination of former Governor Steunenberg, was taken to Caldwell to appear before the district court. The case was continued for the term. The roads on the Camas prairie have become so bad because of the excessive rains, that it is now considered dangerous to attempt to go up or down the Stites hill after dark. Lucy Allen, the squaw who owns a $10,000 elk tooth dress, handed down by her father and grandfather, was bound over to the district court to answer to a charge of murder in the first degree. In such a terrible condition are the streets of Lewiston that the city council has decided to take up the matter of paving Main street. There is also a movement looking to the metering the entire water system. A. L. Brown, a miner employed in the Last Chance mine of the Federal company's properties, was instantly killed at Wardner, as he was going off from night shift. He was struck in the head by a rock thrown from a blast hole. The conference at the office of Major Fenn, forest supervisor, with the sheep men of Sawtooth reserve and the south side of Payette reserve is closed and Major Fenn has gone to Weiser with the sheep men of the northern part of Payette reserve. The establishing of corrals and herding grounds has been the only thing disposed if at this meeting. The matter of allotting range will come up at a future meeting.

The state land board has made an order requesting the segregation of 116,000 acres of land on the north side of the Snake to be reclaimed from the proposed north side canal system of the Twin Falls Land & Water company. The company previously had 30,000 acres segregated in the vicinity of its dam at Milner, making about 10,000 to be reclaimed on the north side of the river. This followed the compromise of the contest between that company and the Idaho Canal company over some 6,000 acres of this land, under which the latter company agreed to take another tract of land which could be covered from its system, but could not be reached by the other.
