In view of the general question which has many times been asked of us in the last few days,—that of who are the interested parties in the ownership of this publication? We desire to state that not a living soul than the party whose name appears at the head of these columns 1 as any interest on holds any of the appurtenances of this plant. We have no partner, silent or otherwise, notwithstanding any claims made by an body to the contrary. We sincerely hope that this statement is strong enough to satisfy even the most curious. J. B. Bass, Editor and Sole Owner of The Montana Plaindealer Within the last week the public has been made acquainted with the inner doings of the Clore Street 400, wherein a prominent resident of that section has seen fit to place himself in the limelight by standing trial, and being found guilty of a misdemeanor which is for that district an every day happening. We believe that a man who is wise, and lives with the environment of that district is simply battling against the winds when he attempts to go up against the strong arm of the law. And if he persists in openly violating the law he is simply taking his chances, both as to penalties and to the regard of the community. I he so wills it to inflict upon himself the stamp of undesirable citizenship, he has no one to blame but himself. Every man has his friends, but his actions and course may become such that he can alienate them be they ever so steadfast. If he sows the wind he will reap the whirlwind, for truly "the way of the transgressor is hard." Sometimes when our difficulties have nearly overwhelmed us we have wished that we did have a partner to share with us to make our burdens easier. The citizens of the Capital City must get busy if they want the National Negro Business Men's League to know they are on earth. The shame of this fair city is the spectacle of able bodied men living off the shame of fallen women. And every sincere movement of the police to stop it will meet the approbation of an appreciative public. It is well for a man who is fairly intelligent to at all times keep his ears close to the grass roots, and keep in touch with public sentiment. With the Helena and Butte colored citizens in line there is no reason why the great Northwest, and Montana in particular, should not send to the National Business Men's League which meets in Topeka in August, such evidence of the opportunities, for our best citizenship, as to induce them to come into our midst in large numbers. RETROSPECTIVE In looking back a few years our attention is first, of course, directed to dear old Kansas where we were reared, and in our humble way did what we could to push everything that we thought would lend to the betterment of our people. Professor Vernon, at present Registrar of the U. S. Treasury, often said to us, "Bass; instead of helping the other fellow so much you should lookout for yourself occasionally;" but after all we could always whoop it up for the other fellow with so much better grace than for ourselves, and we have never regretted what we did for the other fellow if it helped him. Then as now leaders were in abundance. Every fellow thought he was it, and every move on the checkerboard, political or otherwise, was regarded with a certain amount of suspicion, intrigue and jackpots galore,—it was great milling back in Kansas. There was Nick Chiles, made famous by his indomitable push and going to the front, who could pose on four sides of any one question, and come out unscathed,—who has stood the grill in many battles, and though he came out of many bleeding and bruised, he always had a smile. We never knew him to weaken in his loyalty to the race unless it was in the campaign of 1906, and as to that we cannot say, because we were not on the ground. But he is a great character, who has simply forced himself into fame and fortune. There is James H. Guy, a good lawyer, and a "scraper" from way back. You could always get a war of words out of Jim Guy, without the usual provocation. We also know him to be loyal to his race, and on many occasions have opportunity to test his loyalty. In the language of General Grant, "If he thought he was right he would fight it out on those lines if it took all summer." He was, then as now, one of the substantial citizens of the capital city of Kansas, whom we classed as our friend. Then, with John M. Wright, whom we suppose is until yet the Deputy County Treasurer, and National President of the Knights and Ladies of the Orient, who, regardless of anything that may be said to the contrary, was always and at all times pure when it was an issue of import to the race. In our many efforts to do something for the betterment of the conditions political and otherwise for the race we always had his unstinted support. Until this day we carry a letter from him which we prize very highly; the sentiments expressed as to our efforts in his now, formerly our, baili wick. Let's see, then, there was one Nat Sawyers,—the boys all called him "Knat",—a literary genius who was a ready debate on any question. At no time was it a task to get an argument out of him. We have in mind several tilts with him, when with main force we have in stentorian tones endeavored to overwhelm him, but he would have none of that. He was one of the best all around fellows that we have ever known, and at any time he could be of assistance to his fellowmen there was no hesitancy on his part if he was satisfied as to his man. He is to be congratulated on his adherence to President Roosevelt's ideas on the question of race suicide, for truly he is doing his part in the mighty march of progress, as young Knats have put in their appearance so often that we have lost track of them. Then Charley Lytle, the king bee of the young push, whose popularity has never waned, and from what we can learn is even now on the upward trend, and whom we have many times predicted would make his mark, could not be left out of this retrospection. Not a diamond in the rough, but clean cut,—a bright particular star in the firmament,—business man (politician we understand now) but one of Topeka's greatest hustlers, and probably its greatest entertainers,—the friend of the lowliest as well as the highest, who, under adverse circumstances, has risen to a high rank in the capital of the Sunflower State, whom we class as one of the foremost of our friends. had betrayed them in Presidential potage, since through the Co. one thing to protect the envenomed wrath of the What has been the South has been left the body of proscribing in many respects as an pressive as the slave political and civil rite to them by the and Fifteenth Amendment been denied and abridged laws; involuntary se been legalized in spite hibitions of the Thirteenth; the law of cont nullified in the restrict rated in the body of laws; the criminal law suspended and lynch Then there comes alphabetically, Taylor, J. H. B., if you please, who we believe has never been out of Kansas except when once in a political time he got hold of a pass and went to Oklahoma for three days. He, like Mohammed, would at all times have that mountains come to him; but he is a character in the environs of this particular spot. If there is anything doing, he is always on the spot doing what he can to help out, and not infrequently is he on the inside. He was always a mixer, and the boys lways were with him, and while we have no tabs on him for the last year and eight months, he was always our friend, and we have labored together to help ourselves as well as others. John seems a brother to us, and we would like to see him get nerve enough to take a trip out of the State. Now we have no excuse for writing the above other than to write it; and while thinking of the pleasure of meeting old friends in the trip we are expecting to make to Kansas in August to attend the National Negro Business Men's League we penned this retrospection. (To be Continued) THE NEW YORK AGE On The Political Situation The political fortunes of the Afio-American people are at zero. They began to run down in 1876, after the Republican Party, by a treacherous makeshift to save the Presidency, gave that office to Rutherford B. Hayes, a spineless Ohio politician, and turned over to the bloodthirsty and red-handed Democracy of the Southern States the State governments of South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, although the Democrats had not carried those States in the popular voting, any more than they had elected their electors, who were counted for Hayes. Such success as the Democrats had had in the South, in the election of 1876, was got by murder and terrorization, and was therefore illegal and inadmissible, because revolutionary in character and purpose. When the crime was once committed and condoned by the action of the Electoral Commission, and accepted by the people of the country, the whole body of Reconstruction Laws, so laboriously framed by the Congress under the guidance of the wise men who hoped to make effective in every respect the War Amendments to the Federal Constitution, was undone and made abortive for future effectiveness, and the Afro-American electors of the Southern States were left naked and helpless in the hands of their late slave-masters. The Republican Party What has been the result? The South has been left free to enact a body of proscribing laws which is in many respects as odious and oppressive as the slave code. The political and civil rights guaranteed to them by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments have been denied and abridged by State laws; involuntary servitude has been legalized in spite of the prohibitions of the Thirteenth Amendment; the law of contract has been nullified in the restrictions incorporated in the body of separation laws; the criminal law has been suspended and lynch law substituted; in short, a condition has been brought about which violates every guaranty of the three War Amendments without producing one remedial measure by the Congress, and with small action on the part of the President to prevent it,—the enforcement of the peonage laws under the Roosevelt Administration being the most effective, the Ku-Klux prosecutions under President Grant having been made absurd and farcical because the villians convicted by the courts were pardoned by the President, instead of being hung by the marshal. This is the situation. The Republican Party is responsible for it, by the findings of the Electoral Commission and the acquiescence of the masses of the party, and because the party in the Congress has done nothing to remedy the original wrong or to check the hundred and one wrongs which have grown out of it, and because the Federal Courts have evaded a square-toed decision on any of the laws enacted by the several Southern States bearing upon involuntary servitude, the suffrage and the civil rights of the Afro-American people, while making haste to repeal the Sumner Civil Rights Bill as far as it applies to the States, as well as the conspiracy laws under which the KuKlux Slaughter House cases were brought. The question of human rights was dropped from the policy of the Republican Party when Rutherford B. Hayes was declared President, and in its National capacity it has done nothing since but dodge the issue whenever it has come up for consideration. But during all the years of dodging, evading and lying by the Republican Party, the Afro-American people have stuck to the party, voting for its candidates and policies with the blind faith of a dog in his brutal and ungrateful master, living upon "the substance of things hoped for," and getting deeper and deeper in the mire of citizenship nonage at every stage of the game. The writer has protested and bolted for thirty years, but few Afro-Americans have sympathized with his policy. If they had, and had followed his advice, they would not now have their political and civil fortunes so low that a cur will not sniff at them. What are we going to do about it? VOTING CONTEST In our next issue we shall publish full particulars of our coming Voting Contest, and the prizes which will be awarded, our first prize for the lady receiving the highest number of votes will be a diamond studded, solid gold watch.

REVOLUTIONINCHINA ALL AUTHORITIES KILLED AT CITY OF WONG KONG. peoichgedorinarend ‘sa < Revolt broke out on May 22 when rebels killed the military and civil au- thorities at Wong Kong, China, but the news did not reach the world until last week, Three provinces are now in active revolt.

Haywood, whom it is charges with the murder of Frank Stounenderg, and then began the pie sentation of testimony by which it hopes to prove the indictment aid against him. ‘The opening statement was a broad, sweeping arraignment of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners, who were charged with plotting wholesale murder and hiring assassins, all in giant conspiracy >of vengeance vpon those who obstracted their way, to de- stroy opposition by terrorism, to cor- trol the political destines of the com- munities covered by their organization and to perpetuate their own power within the organization. It is charged a widespread _conspir- acy dating in inoeption from the north Idaho disturbances 15 years ago, reach ing down to the murder of Frenk Steunenberg, and whose murdered vie: tims, bullet and bomb, numbered scores. Hawley declared that where- ever in the mining section of the Coast states the federation had been in con: trol there bad been left a trail of blood to mark its operations. Of the hired assassins he cried: ‘*Tc them murder became a trade and as- sassination a means of living."’ ‘Washington, Jane 5.—One hundred armed Confederate veterans from Ten- nessee, carrying the stars and bars, were Tuesday denied admittance to the United Staces capital until after they had lowered their flag and disarmed. The old soldiers came to Washington from the Richmond reunion, and after visiting the White House marched down Pennsyvnaia avenue to the eapi- taj. The capital police informed them that they would be allowed admission to the capital only as private citizens and not as aa organized body. Congressman John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee, who accompanied the vet- erans, entered protest. The police insisted, however, that the veterans must break ranks and dis- arm before entering the building. Fin- ally this was done and the old soldiers were shone through the capital. The Gelegation was composed of company A of Memphis and company B and cavalry troop B. VICE ON CANAL ZONE. Miss Gertrude Beeks wil!

Two Boats, Containing Sixteen Log gers, Overturn—Seven Are Grewneé,. In the angry waters of the south fork of the Payette seven men lost their lives Thursday afternoon. They were Joe Boden, Bert Ure, Mel Curtis, Joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank Fitzgerald and David McMillan. It is not anticipated that the bodies will be recovered soon, ‘The men were in the employ of the Idaho White Pine Mining company of Nampa and were engaged, under the superintendency of H. F. Strong, in bringing down a log drive. The party had two boats which were used on stretches of the stream where they could be handled, Thursday afternoon the two boats pulled into a large eddy just 12 miles above Garden Valley, pear the place where the accident oc- curred, it being the intention to tie up there for the night and let the boats down through the rapids below in the morning. ‘The first boat failed to make a land- ing properly and the men determined to run the rapids. Soon after it struck the bad water the boat filled and sank. The men in the second boat thought the first had succeeded in making the run safely and started down after it, meeting with the same fate. Nine succeeded in reaching the shore after a terrible experience in the boiling water. Some of them were carried down a long distance before they could work their way to a landing place. None of the drowned men had fami- lies so far as known, and it is not known from whence they came. They were loggers. JOE CHAMBERLAIN VERY WEAK Unable to Rise and Bow to London Admirers. London—After the recent reassur- ing reports from Santa Raphael, France, regarding the improvement in the health of Joseph Chamberlain, his arrival in England Saturday was some- what of a shock to his friends, who had gathered to meet him, both here and at Dover. Mr. Chamberlain was accompanied by his wife and son, Neville. When the train arrived at the Victoria station he was seen lying back on the cush- ions, seemingly almost helpless. He made no effort to rise until assisted by his wife and son, and it was remarked that he made a vain attempt to raise his hat in response to a cheer from the crowd. Mr. Chamberlain was almost carried to his carriage. He drove to his Lon- don residence. It seems that he is quite unable to walk by himself. Twitchings of the facial muscles sug- gested that the effects of his recent seizure have not been completely sha- ken off. ‘The family authorized the follow- ing statement: “Mr. Chamberlain has returned much improved in health and none the worse for the long journey. He has not yet made any plans, but will certainly re- main in London for a time. FIERCE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT Long, Nature Writer, Says President te Ne Sportsman. a eee New York—Dr. William J. Long, the nature writer, who was attacked by President Roosevelt in a recent magazine article, has fired another broadside at the president. He ac- cused the chief executive of plagiar- ism and vividly pictured his cruelties of hunting, either instances from Roosevelt's published stories of ex- periences with big game. Concluding his statement, Dr. Long said: “It is not your hunting to which I object, for I also am a hunter, but your unnecessary brutality and bar- barism. The bloody endings over which you gloat bring little self-satis- faction to a thoughtful man who has seen the last look in the eyes of a stricken deer and who remembers that even this small life has its mystery. “You are not a sportsman, though you have slain your thousands; you are not a naturalist, though you have measured hides and horns; you do not aud you can not understand the hearts of the wild things, though you have made a grievous quantity of them bleed. It needs no eyewitness nor any affidavit to support this state- ment. You have yourself furnished all the proof.” REELECT LEE COMMANDER. at Richmond. Richmond, Va—Amid scenes of the wildest confusion white haired vet- erans of the civil war stood up on chairs and seats and cheered like schoolboys when the grand camp of the United Confederate Veterans in convention recently reelected their old officers and selected Birmingham, Ala., as the place of meeting next year. When it was announced that the elec tion of officers would take place a hun- dred delegates rose to their feet and with one voice nominated General Stephen D. Lee for another term as grand commander. Brewery Workmen Ousted. The International Brewery Work ers’ unfon, comprising 400 locals, was jexpelled recently from the Americar Federation of Labor by order of President Gompers. ‘The present trouble is due to a dis pute over jurisdiction affecting engin eers and firemen employed in brew: jeries. The brewery workers claim this jurisdiction, while the federation holds the engineers and firemen are entitl ed to separate organization and recog: nition. They were formeraly so or ganized and recognized by the federa ‘tion.

All the men that can be obtained are now being put on at the various mines and smelters of the Boundary, and another month should see more employment than ever before in its history. The business men and mine owners of Goldfields, Nev., to the number of 150 met Sunday and perfected a permanent organization, to be known as the Industrial Association of Nevada.

Victoria, B. C.—Fire has broken out in No. 3 stope of the Comox mines. No loss of life occurred, the large staff of miners making their escape. Over 1000 miners are employed in this stope alone, where R. Dunsmuir's sons mine the bulk of their coal product in the Comox district. The miners are endeavoring to flood out the fire, but it is reported a heavy loss has already been incurred. While the month of May has shown the smallest ore output, from the mines and smelters of Boundary, B.C., for years, due to the coal miners' strike in the Crows Nest pass country, matters are now in such shape that a heavier output than ever before is fully anticipated. While the coal miners' strike was on, or just before it, the miners and smeltermen employed in the Boundary requested that they be given a raise in wages. This matter has been thoroughly considered by the managers, with the result that a schedule was finally submitted to the miners that was accepted by them in a referendum vote, by a big majority. This definitely settles the scale of wages for all men employed in Boundary mines, and gives all underground men an advance of 50 cents a day, and those employed above ground receive an advance of 10 per cent over the pay heretofore received. Wages now paid range from $3.30 to $4.50 per day. All underground work is eight hours, above ground nine hours. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

Not made by the Trust HURRY CAUSES WRECK8. So Says P. H. Morrissey of Trainmen's Brotherhood. Grand Master P. H. Morrissey of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, in discussing railway wrecks and the cause and remedy for the same, says: "There is too much business for the railroads, too much hurry in conducting trains and too few employees to insure the proper degree of safety to employ and traveler. "The state railways of German employ more than three times the number of men per mile that we do, and none can say that this does not contribute to safety. Every advance in wages here is met by counter economies in operation, such as taking off men, etc. The American railway managers as a class are capable and practical men. It is not their fault that things are as they are. It is the fault of the system. If they do not get the results in operation they are likely to be sidetracked. What, in my opinion, the American railway systems need to insure greater safety is more men to man and inspect the trains, to guard the switches and semaphores and to patrol the tracks." LIGHTNING HITS BALLOON Italian Aeronaut Is Dashed to Death by Fall of 700 Feet. Rome, June 4.—A tragic incident took place Sunday during a review of the troops by King Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena. As a part of the maneuvers, a military balloon was sent up to a height of 700 feet with Captain Ullivelli in the car. A storm which had been coming up burst suddenly and the thousands o. spectators were horrified to see a flash of lightning strike the bag of the balloon. There was an enormous burst of flame and a terrific detonation and the collapsed balloon, with its dangling car, fell to the earth, a mile from the scene of the review. Crowds of persons, afoot and in automobiles and other conveyances, rushed in the direction where the balloon had fallen. Captain Ullivelli was found alive, but unconscious. He was placed in an automobile and rushed to a hospital, where he died without regaining consciousness. COMING EVENTS. Spokane County Ploneers' society Medical Lake, June 8.

That Appeal Has No Bearing on the Project in Northwestern States—Real Effect of the Decision. Certain newspapers have raised a question as to the constitutionality of the irrigation reclamation act, and base their statements on the decision of the federal supreme court in the case of the state of Kansas against the state of Colorado of May 13, 1907, in which was involved the right to use the waters of the Arkansas river. The fear is expressed that the national irrigation reclamation act may be adjudged unconstitutional if ever it comes before the court of last appeal on an issue such as was present in the Kansas-Colorado cause. Ex-Senator Turner of Washington is credited with raising the question. Such fears are groundless; such statements apparently are incorrect. The supreme court made no such statements and has not prejudged the status of the reclamation act in any way. The fears that reclamation projects in Washington, Oregon and Idaho might be crippled are allayed. Careful inquiry among the government departments which are vitally interested warrants the following positive statement. In deciding the Kansas-Colorado case, the supreme court used an illustration to show that the congress is restrained in its powers by the federal constitution; and, in discussing the possibility of the exercise of congressional legislative power beyond constitutional limitations in reference to the arid lands of the nation, said: "Nor do we understand that hitherto the congress has acted in disregard of this limitation." This would seem clearly to indicate that the supreme court did not intend to call in question the validity of the reclamation act; and that the irrigation law was not in any manner involved in the case before the court is quite plainly apparent. Were the fears referred to proven to be well founded the result would be to seriously interfere with the development of the entire system of irrigation projects throughout the west; and even although careful examination of the law satisfies the government that those fears are groundless, it is not unlikely that the raising of the question will be embarrassing in future litigation involving the reclamation service. However, the supreme court's decision is pleasing to the officials who are interested in the reclamation of arid lands. The court denied the contention of Kansas for the common law riparian rights, and it denied the contention of Colorado that it had sovereign and exclusive power over the waters within its limits with the right to appropriate all of it without reference to rights in adjoining commonwealths. The decision sets forth that the utilization of the water in Colorado has been so beneficial that the alleged injury in Kansas, admitted in part, is relatively so small that it may be regarded as negligible, because no injury has been proven in the Arkansas river east of the Colorado line. The court concedes that both states have the right to use the water of the Arkansas river, does not make a definitive statement as to what those rights are, as to quantity or as to the principle governing its use, and is content to say: "If the depletion of the waters of the river by Colorado continues to increase, there will come a time when Kansas may justly say that there is no longer an equitable division of benefits and may rightfully call for relief against the action of Colorado, its corporations and citizens in appropriating the waters of the Arkansas for irrigation purposes." GOVERNMENT SURPLUS JUMPS The monthly comparative statement of the government's receipts and expenditures shows that for May, 1907, the total receipts were $57,488,012, and the expenditures $48,912,800, leaving a surplus for the month of $8,575,123. The surplus for the 11 months of the present fiscal year is $65,050,963, as against $6,162,578 a year ago, a gain of nearly $59,000,000. Roosevelts Home Again.

CONTINENTAL OIL COMPANY RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain temporarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheumatism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life.

A BURNING SHAME Someone is Responsible Talk about an era of modern civilization! One would have thought that the same was an unknown quality in this section, had they witnessed the unnecessary embarrassment and humiliation that the family of the late E. G. Cole were put to at the very time that the itinerary of his funeral should have been in progress on last Wednesday afternoon. The body was supposed to be in the hands of the R. J. Fletcher Lodge, A. F. and A. M., and the widow and family, feeling that all arrangements for carrying out the funeral were properly locked after, patiently awaited the time for the appearance of the Lodge as an escort. But at the time that the procession should have started from the undertakers' on its way to the church, instead of the Lodge, she received a message from the W. M. of the Lodge that under the circumstances they would not take charge of the body. This action, though humiliating to the family as it may be, will not satisfy nor be condoned by public sentiment, and the Lodge has been the subject of keen censure on all sides for its delay in informing the bereaved family of the action they have taken. They should have given them timely notice. But as good fortune would have it, there is a broad-guaged and noble Order to which the deceased was a member, and when the action of the Fletcher Lodge became known they hurriedly got together what they could of Golden City Lodge of Odd Fellows Savings securely cared for and relieved the humiliation of the heart-broken family, and conducted the last sad rites over the body. E. G. Cole was one of Helena's foremost citizens. As for the manner of his death, all regret it; but with a broken-down nervous system, and suffering for years, is it any wonde that in a moment of irresponsibility he took his own life? That is the theory of the conservative and fair-minded citizens of this city, regardless of race, and the treatment accorded the family at the very brink of the grave is universally condemned. Certain young men who are causing comment because of their attentions to certain married women should know that what they sow they will eventually reap. Mr. E. Mack is over from Anaconda on a visit. Alonzo Leatherbury came over from Anaconda to attend the funeral of E. G. Cole Wednesday. The Tragic Passing of E. G. Cole E. G. Cole, who has for nearly a quarter of a century been one of Helena's foremost colored citizens, after years of physical suffering and anxiety, while, it is supposed, under a temporary spell of melancholly, took his own life last Sunday at about 6.30 o'clock, by shooting himself with a 38-calibre pistol in the head. Mr. Cole was one of Helena's thrifty citizens, and at all times labored to Do Something, and for a higher citizenship. The funeral was conducted Wednesday from St. James Church, the sermon being preached by the Rev. W. T. Osborne, and the last sad rites were performed by the local lodge of Odd Fellows and the Household of Ruth, both of which he was a member. He was also a member of the Mason Lodge and the Eastern Star. The floral offerings from friends were among the finest we have ever seen. THE PLAINDEALER offers condolence to the family, that they have lost their dearest friend, and society a faithful member. Fred Spearman is now on head waiter Mason's staff at the Broadwater.
