Address all Communications to The Montana Plaindealer, 19 South Main Street, Helena, Montana. PEACE! PEACE! PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! Doing something. We are in receipt of a communication from Mr. J. Richards, head waiter at the Montana Hotel at Anaconda. He gives an optomistic view of the status of our people in that city, and says that along all lines there is a decided improvement, and that they are making an effort to Do SOMETHING. We are glad that these conditions maintain, and that we have members of our race who note the same, and are striving for a higher citizenship. We appreciate very much the invitation of the citizens of Anaconda, extended through Mr. Richards to visit their city as their guest, and we shall certainly arrange our business so as to be with the good people in Anaconda early next month. Our Visitors This week the Ministers' Institute brought to our fair city visitors from all over the State, to attend the Ministers' Institute and Young People's Meeting. They are entitled to great credit for their interest in the development of the work in which they are engaged, which of necessity must be of a lasting benefit to this race with which our destiny is linked forever. What we need in this section is more of our people who are like these delegates, some of whom journeyed hundreds of miles to accomplish something for the uplift of a struggling race. What's the Matter With Butte? One of the disappointments with the great Convention held in our midst was the failure of the metropolis of Montana to send presentation. Not a delegate from Butte, or even a paper to know that they take a passing interest in the premises. There is something wrong somewhere, as we know many of the leading Butte race men of sterling worth, and just why neither the Church, Sunday School, Literary, or other organizations failed to send delegates or some word of greeting we cannot understand. During this month we expect to well upon every one of our patrons who are indebted to us to any amount, and we trust that they will be prepared to meet us, as we have many improvements on this plant which will be made at a considerable cost, and WE NEED THE MONEY. We are indeed gratified at the ready response of our fellow citizens to aid and assist, and we certainly feel encouraged to push ever on in our field for the uplift of a race, and a higher citizenship. Butte failed to be represented at the Institute and Young People's meeting? Some of the Broadwater bunch have become backsliders? Uncle Dave Gordon became a baseball magnate? John Reed went to Church? A certain young lady was looking for pigeons last week? It would not be a good time for the Elks to get together again? The Helena girls all got jealous this week? Rev. Osborne is designated as the little giant? Harry is not out late at night any more? The East Side Widower did not go to the depot Thursday night? A prominent rareback has become so docile since the return of her better half? Nobody will believe that bear story of Arthur Palmer and Jim Howard's? Our people persist in trading at places where their patronage is not appreciated? The Helena Packing and Provision Company is the best place to trade in town? Ministers' Institute and Young People's Meeting Montana henceforth will take no back seat in the march of progress for any of the other Western States. On last Wednesday there assembled in this city a meeting which in years to come will be long remembered, and its accomplishment of good for the race and citizenship will be a potent influence, and an encouragement for greater efforts all along the line. The Convention organized by the election of the following officers. Rev. J. H Hubbard of Denver, President; W. T. Osborne of Helena, 1st Vice-President; Mrs. M. Robinson, Great Falls, 2d Vice-President; Mrs. J. H. C. Redd, Great Falls, Secretary; Mrs. W. T. Osborne, Helena, Recording Secretary; Mrs. A. Napper, Helena, Treasurer. The morning session was devoted to routine work. The afternoon session was taken up with the reading and discussion of papers. The evening session was devoted to a reception to the visitors. Addresses of welcome were delivered by J. B. Bass on behalf of the citizens, Mrs. C. C. Matthews on behalf of the Literary, Mrs. E. Baker on behalf of the Church, and Mrs. S. Ford on behalf of the Sabbath School. They were all delivered in a happy vein, as also were the responses on behalf of the visitors, by Rev. H. C. Redd and Rev. W. T. Osborne. Miss Fanny Fitzgerald volunteered a recitation and was enceded time and again. Thursday was devoted to routine work, and in the evening a play, "The Slave's Return," was put on for the visitors. Friday was a sort of a day for the entertainment of the visitors, and chaperoned by M. O. J. Arnett and A. Leatherbury, they were shown over the city. The Convention closed Friday night with a grand Love Feast, and all joined in saying that aside from the work accomplished that they had the time of their lives. The following delegates were in attendance: From Anaconda Rev. L. M. Baker and Mrs. Sarah Walker, Great Falls, Grace Smith, Lydia Robinson, Mattie Robinson, Willie Robinson, Arthur Williams, Rev. and Mrs. H. C. Redd, Havre, Mrs. Anna Gilliard, Helena, Rev. W.

Helena, Montana, Friday, May 10, 1907. OUR GALAXY OF ALL STARS WHO WILL TAKE PART IN THE GREAT PLAINDEALER BENEFIT CONGERT AT ELEGTRIC HALL THURSDAY EVENING. MAY 30. 1907. "THE SLAVE'S RETURN" DRAMS A PACKED HOUSE AT ST. JAMES A. M. E. GHURCH The following talent have magnanimously donated their services for the complimentary concert to be tendered this publication by the citizens of Helena, at Electric Hall, on Thursday evening, May 30th. W. R. Dorsey is the premier vocalist and Musical Director Mrs. Geo. Lee and W. D. Cole will, as a duet, render one of the choicest selections; Mrs. M. Ingram, a singer of no mean ability, will render a solo; Mr. Henry Baker who is known at all times to make, good, will also render a solo. The Gate City Quartette consisting of Messrs. W. C. Merritt, Jos. Brown. A. J. Marshall and Ward Cole will render several selections, including plantation melodies, etc. This Quartette, headed by W. C. Merritt, is a stemwinder, and no one should miss hearing it. On this occasion Mr. Chas. A. Johnson, a favorite singer of Helena, will render Bert Williams' latest "Let it Alone." Then Gus Mason, our real comedian and premier dancer, will sing "I'll be Back in a Minute," which no doubt will be one of the hits of the evening. Mrs. Clara Howard, who always pleases a Helena audience, will render a solo. Prof. J. Berni Barbour, formerly with the Williams & Walker Co., composer and musician, will render one or more of his own compositions on the piano. Professor McDonald, a pianist of rare ability, will also favor us "The Slave's Return," a typical Southern play, put on at St. James A. M. E. Church last Thursday evening by J. L. Ellis, and his superb company of picked talent was an unqualified success. The play itself, while lacking the essentials of any well-defined plot served as a vehicle to bring out some very clever talent. The leading part, Uncle Eph, assumed by Mr. Ellis, was good; Ward Cole as Aunt Chloe was all that could be desired. A new comedian was manufactured in the person of C. A. Johnson, whose long, gaunt, and awkward stature was veritably a second Bert Williams. Joe Clark would certainly make a good slave driver, and Mrs. Ford as Beulah Davis was good. They were all ably assisted by the plantation girls, Vera Simmons, Rebeckah Palmer, Pearl Palmer, Josephine Ellis, and Mamle Ingram. The specialties were superb Little Helen Marle Holmes, who sang "The Moon Has His Eyes On You," and according to her age she would make many older embryo actors turn green with envy, and the duet by Miss Vera Simmons and J. Berni Barbour, which was enthusiastically received. The mixed quartette, consisting of Pearl Palmer, Julia Young, Gus Mason and Ward Cole was the hit of the evening, the singing of Mrs. Julia Young was especially good. They were compelled to respond to an encore. with several of his favorite selections. Miss Fanny Fitzgerald, who has only recently demonstrated such rare ability as an elocutionist, will render, true to life, one or more of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's rhymes. J. L. Ellis, playwright and comedian, will butt on one of his own creations in the blackface. Miss Mamie Walton will preside at the piano. Miss F. Fitzgerald will have charge of the refreshments, and Miss Helen Anderson has charge of the ticket sales, and who is it but will say that this concert will be the greatest musical event ever given by our people in the State of Montana? All of the above talent have kindly donated their services on this occasion to aid and assist an enterprise that stands for the race, and it is the aim of the management to fill the Electric Hall to its full capacity on this occasion, and to that end we want to sell 500 tickets in advance. Tickets are on sale now at this office, or may be procured from Miss Helen Anderson, or Miss Fitzgerald. We shall place them on sale in different places throughout the city. We are only able at this time to in a general way give out our program at this time. In our next issue we will give our program complete. The same will be under the direction of Mrs. C. C. Matthews. Mrs. Mamie Ingram sang beautifully a solo which pleased the large audience. Those who took part in this production are entitled to much credit for producing such a creditable performance. Especial credit should be given J. L. Ellis for his untiring efforts in getting up this production, and his labor in putting up a stage with electrical effect and scenery, etc.; also to Mr. Ed Glenn, who so ably assisted him. INSTITUTE NOTES Presiding Elder Hubbard was very much elated over the success of the Institute. Rev. Redd of Great Falls was always in evidence, and had to be shown. Mrs. Sarah Walker of Anaconda was a two representative of her Literary Society. Mrs. Galliard of Havre, though young in the cause, is a great worker for the Church. The Misses Robinson, of Great Falls, taking after the go ahead spirit of the senior' their mother, are a fine example of young womanhood and what can be accomplished if one tries. Miss Carrie Dorsey's paper on the helpfulness of the choir to the Church was highly creditable indeed, and we shall endeavor to publish the same in a later issue. Mrs. Rev. Redd was an enthusiastic delegate, and in her position as Secretary had more than her share of work. Rev. Osborne and the Church are to be congratulated for the splendid manner in which they have taken care of the Convention and entertained the visitors. The New York Dry Goods Store.

Added go this leup of the street cars, is he strike of the telephone girls and that of S000 iron workers. Without transportation facilities and with a very much crippled and inade- quate telephone service, it is feared that business will be almost at a standstill. The civie league has been very ac- tive all day endeavoring to end the strife and bring about a settlement of all the strikes by arbitration, but has met with no success. A notice has been posted by the United railroads at all car barns giving the carmen until ‘Tuesday to return lo work or consider themselves discharged. Intense activ- ity prevails at all the car barns and all preparations made by the com- pany are indicative to a bitter and determined fight. ‘This condition was brought about by the action of the motormen and conductors of the United railroads when they voted to declare a strike after having failed to obtain an §-hour day and a flat wage of $3. In previous strikes of carmen in this city, the California and eGary street systems have continued operations, subject to the settlement reached on the United railroads, or the big sys- tem. But today the Geary and Cali- fornia street lines are still. ‘The motormen and conductors have already been reinforced by the sta- tionery firemen, who have demanded recognition of their union and an in- crease of wages from $2.75 to $3.25 per day. It is very probable that other al- Ned unions will come to the support of the platform men. A veteran member of the carmen’s union, who is opposed to the strike, said today: “This means a fight which will end the power of labor unions in San Francisco. The men are beaten before the battle opens.” President Calhoun said before the strike and repeated today that his car system would be run on the open shop basis. All employers who have ex- pressed themselves are strongly in sympathy with the company and many union men condemn the carmen, Cal- houn has made all plans for a hard battle. It is learned from an authen- tic source that he has behind him all the power of the state and national governments, Everywhere there is the eame spirit of opposition by employers to the un- ions, WHILE INSANE SHOT SIX PEOPLE San Francisoo.—Wailter C. Davis, a carpenter, in a fit of insanity ‘Tuesday, shot a family of six persons with whom he resided, at 414 Pierce street, this city. The dead are: | Orson R. Bush, aged 57, his wife and their young son. W. 8. Beard, a carpenter, with rela- tives in St. Louis and Denver. M. E. Zenton, a surveyor, recently from New York. Mrs. Lillian D. Carothers, an elder- ly woman who boarded in the house. Davis and his victims all resided in the house, which was conducted as a boarding house by the Bush family. Davis’ home was in Farmersville, near Visalia,this state, where he has a wife and six children. He has been work- ing here as a carpenter since the fire. ‘The shooting was done wiht a double- barreled shotgun. Davis, who slept in the same room with young Bush and Beard, arose shortly after 5 o'clock, and after arming himself with the gan shot his two room mates and then visit ‘ed each room in turn, killing the oceu- pants. yenetttle.—John Riplinger, for ‘eight years city comptroller, republican can- ‘Gidute for mayor in the last election ‘and well-known in the northwest, re- tired from office in March, 1906, a’ de- faulter in the sum of more than $9000, it is alleged.

CATS OF WORLD-WIDE FAME Eminent Men of Many Countries Fond of Their Fellie Pets. One of the most pleasing traits in Dr. Johnson's character was his fondness for his cat, Hodges. Boswell admits that he himself did not love cats and experienced some discomfort in their society, a sensation he shares with other and greater men. "But," writes he, "I never shall forget the indulgence with which he (Johnson) treated Hodge, his cat, for whom he himself used to go out and buy oysters, last the servants, having that trouble, should take a dislike to the poor creature." Nor was Dr. Johnson the only literate with a fondness for cats. Visitor Hugo had a great cat named Chanoline, which always sat on a large red ottoman in the center of his salon and received the novelists's guests in state. What is more, Chanoline showed marked displeasure if anyone failed to caress or praise her. Many famous Frenchmen, by the way, have shown a predilection for cats, Richelleau found his only relaxation in keeping a number of kittens in his private cabinet and watching their gambols during his spare moments, while Baudlaine, the French poet, a very shy man, was always ill at ease in any new house he entered until the family cat was brought up and introduced to him, after which, with the cat on his knee, he was perfectly happy in his silent poet fashion. The greatest cat champion was a Freechman — namely, Chateaubriand, the famous author and statesman. When Chateaubriand was made secretary to the embassy at Rome the pope, Leo XI, gave him, as the most acceptable gift the could offer, his own Mistecet, a big out of grayish red. Earlier, when in exile in London, Chateaubriand boarded at the house of an Irish woman, a Mrs. O'Larry, whose room swarmed with cats, big and small, in the welfare of which the good lady's lodger took an even keener interest than herself. "United by this common interest," he writes, "we mourned the misfortune of losing two lovely she cats, as white as ermine, with black tips to their tails." Often Chateaubriand said that before his death he hoped to "advocate some works of God despised by men," and of these the two chief were to be the age and the cat. Coming down to more recent times, it might be mentioned that the favorite pets of Mark Twain are two cats, which he has named Satan and Sin so sensitively—London Tit-Bits. Maud Muller, on a summer day, Hid her jug in a pile of hay. The judge came by on his Arab steed, And he was a very dry man, indeed. "Aha," said he, with a winsome wink, "New where can a dry man find a drink?" She put her finger in her mouth, And ahly said, "A half mile south." So the judge he galloped, lickety-split, Which showed that Maud had a pretty wit. Won't John's Fault. Mrs. Flint was a very stern woman, who demanded instant and unquestioning obedience from her children. One afternoon a storm came up and she sent her son John to close the trap leading to the fat roof of the house. "But, mother—" said John. "John, I told you to shut the trap." "Yes, but mother—" "John, shut that trap." "All right, mother, if you say so, but—" "John!" John slowly climbed the stairs and shut the trap. The afternoon went by, and the storm howled and raged. Two hours later the family gathered for tea, and when the meal was half over Aunt Mary, who was staying with Mrs. Flint, had not appeared. Mrs. Flint started an investigation. She did not have to ask many questions; John answered the first one. Josh answered, "Please, mother, she is up on the roof."—Argonaut. Just a Little Sarcasm. "At our church fair the other evening," said Miss Woodby, affecting a matter-of-fact tone, "I met Miss Roxie Swellman and—" "Oh," interrupted Miss Knox, "I never speak to her!" "An, you know, hay!" he said. "No; that's the reason I never speak to her."—Philadelphia Press. One man's money looks as good as another's to the gold-brick peddler. Sympathizers Paraded. New York, May 6.—Two long lines of men and women, probably 20,000 of them, trailed through the streets of the upper and lower East Side today as a demonstration of their sympathy for Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone, officials of the Western Federation of Miners. Lamor War in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., May 6—Prospects for a settlement of the local teamsters' strike, which last night appeared encouraging, have suddenly taken a turn in the opposite direction and there is a possibility of a serious strike in the immediate future, with many other branches of labor involved. San Francisco Without Phones. San Francisco—The strike of telephone operators continues, with no indication of a speedy settlement. Over 500 girls are out and the few employees who remain at work are unable to render more than a very partial and unsatisfactory service. King Edward Returns to London.

Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and eats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of every old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can do any permanent good; neither will removing the sore with caustic plasters or the surgeon's knife make a lasting cure. If every particle of the diseased flesh were taken away another sore would come, because the trouble is in the blood, and the BLOOD CANNOT BE CUT AWAY. The cure must come by a thorough cleansing of the blood. In S. S. S. will be found a remedy for sores and ulcers of every kind.

What would you say if I came to school that way" "I wouldn't speak about it," said Jimmy; "I'll be too polite" Mrs. Hunks.—I wish you wouldn't be so positive. There are two sides to every question. Old Hunks (with a roar)—Well, that's no reason why you should always be on the wrong side!—Chicago Tribune. Judicial Wit. "Her Christian name is Handel," explained a witness at West Ham, "but she didn't like it and took up Annie instead." "Most people," observed the magistrate, "prefer a handle to their names." Whish, considered judicially, would appear a brilliant sally.—London Tribune. Farmers' Institutes.

Gus Thornton, who is now working on a large ranch near the city, visited the city for a few days this week. The Helena young men are wailing and moaning. As it seems C. H. Mason has brought out @ galaxy of young men, who have appropriated all the available young ladies. They are now sing- ing “Do not forsake the old for the new.” The Luzon Bees will play the Fort Harrison team Snnday at the Park. ‘The knowing ones see that Marlowe of the Broadwater has something up his sleeve, but that Napor has the bunch bested.

When Uncle Dave Gordon es- sayed to go out and tackle the Hubs, a semi-professional nine of baseball players, all the wise ones gave a knowing hunch, and said that they would go out as the Bees, but on their return they would forever afterward be known asthe Drones.

The played rings al around the Hub nine, and won ou, a finely contested game in the ninth ining, the score being 4 to 3 in favor of the Bees. The game was replete with sen- sational and spectacular plays. Joe Marshall went up in the clouds and brought a hot liner that cooked his hand, and he also battled like a demon. Joe Brown got connected with a hot liner, which brought him to the mat, but he froze on, and lying flat on his back made the thrown, to second which put out the runner. Ira Smith, a new find, was the bright particular star of the outfield; he got everything that came his way; his fielding was sensational, and he weilded the bat like a Lajoie. “Cyclone” Thompson, the big, husky pitcher of the Bees, did great work in the box, and was as fresh at the finish as when the game began. Space forbids us giving individual men- tion of each player, but suffice it to say that the whole time put up a fine exhibition of the National zame. The following was the jine-up for the Bees: Sanders C. Thompson, P; Marshall, 1st B; Brown, 2d B; Porter, 3 B; Cole, 5.8; Ira Smith, L. F.; Andrews, C.F; Joe Smith, R. F. W. C.
