It being found by Republican
newspapers that Judge Hoadly's pri-
vate and public record is ::unim-
peachable, they started the silly story
that he intended to withdraw from
the canvass. He contradicted the ru-
NOR in a dispatch to a New York pa
per. They now asse TT he is disguised
with tho organization of the state
central committee, and holding it
was formed against his wish. All of
which show the desperate straits to
which the opposition is reduced in
the fight against him. 1t will re-
quire larger shot to bring down tho
Democratic candidate than the Re
licans are now fireing ut him.

FREE

The Billings Herald in speaking
of the opportunities this Territory
presents to home seekers, says: "Peo-
pie who are looking with longing
eyes toward tho free homesteads of
the great west, should bear in mind
that while the great speciality of Mon
tana, apart FROM the mines, is beef,
the Territory contains 5,0OO,0 600
acres of the most productive agricul-
tural land in America. Farming il
far more profitable than in any State
or Territory east Of Montana, Is the
very large proportion. Of the Territory
and its population are engaged in
other industries, and the supply
of produce is not likely to ever
meet tho demand. The products
Of the farm, the dairy, the poul-
try yard, the vegetable, garden and
orchard, have commanded, and prob
ably will always command higher
figures in Nonta "A than will sound
creditable to eastern ears. There is
also another great advantage which
Montana farmers possess over East
ern capitalists. The farming lands
here are surrounded by q range for
stock ~ free As the air they breathe.
The rancher is not compelled to fence
off a portion of his land for the sup
port of his stock. The contiguous
uplands and foothills supply this.
Thus while his grain and vegetables
are ripening his stock may be fatten-
ing on the finest grass in the world.

The report that Mrs. Langtry was
to spend the summer at Newport,
Rhode Island. has been the occa-
sion of considerable social commotion
In that somewhat a%ristocratic sum-
mer resort. The local paper, voicing
the sentiments Of the people, says
that the doors of all the cottages will
be barred against her if she comes,
and that the hotel where she stops
will be Immediately vacated by all
people worth knowing. 1t would
seem by this that the Lily is troubled
with a complaint that is regarded as
catching by the danes and good peo-
pie Of Newport. It is announced
later that Freddie and the Lily will
herd with the more common rabble
at Long Branch during the hot
months.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Adjutant
General Drum leaves Thursday on a
visit of inspection of the military
posts on the Northern and Union Pa
cifc Railroads.
Commissioner Dudley, in a con-
vsrsation with a Star reporter to-day,
said he believed the promise made
Congress that every pension claim
would have been considered by his
department by the close of the fiscal
year would be fulfilled. There had
been during the wear a considerable
increase in the number of claims filed
over that of last year, as the follow
ing figures will show: Original in
valids in 1882, 29,OO4; in 'S3, 1900;
original widows in 's2, l03, 1872; in 'S3,
129, 992. The increase in the num-
her of claims filed is due to the in
creased number of agents who want
ten-d0llar fee. The number of at
torneys before the department in
creased from 1000 to 16, 600 since the
passage of the pension law.

IN Launching q Steamer.

Accident IN Launching q Steamer.
LONDON, July 3.-Intelligence has
just been received here of q terrible
accident during the launch Of
the steamer Daphne at
Glasgow. While being launch
ed the Daphne left the ways
at q very fast rate, and when she
gained tho water she rolled from side
to side. The persons on beard fear
ing she would capsize ran to and fro
upon the vessel, which finally rolled
over and nearly disappeared beneath
the water. Those who had main
tanned their positions on a part of
the steamer not submerged did their
utmost to save those who yer cast
overheard. AT the same time boats
having pulled out to assist in the
work of rescuing the unfortunate
people succeeded in saving quite q
number. It il known, however, that
there were fifty persons below in the
Daphne when the vessel went over,
and they must all have been drown
cd. Crowds of grief-stricken relatives
of victims are tlocking to the scene
of the calamity. Another dispatch
from Glasgow says the cause of her
capsizing was that she had too much
top weight. Steamers are dragging
the water for the bodies of the vic
Tins. Several of the people who
were taken frem the water were so
exhausted that it was necessary to re-
move them to the infirmary. The
steamer is now under water with the
fifty bodies before mentioned on
board of her.

The Beastly Saints Want Dam.

SALT LAKE, July 2.-Ten suits were
instituted by the Mormons in the
United States District Court this
afternoon against the Commissioners
appointed by the President to carry
out the provisions # the Edmunds
bill. This is a deliberate attempt to
break down the Commissioners to
defeat the law. The suits were in
stituted tor damages, the evident in
tention being to coerce the Commits
sioners.. There IS mach indignation
among the loyal citizens, and the
opinion is confidently expressed that
the hostile attitude Of the Mormons
to Congressional legislation will re-
suit in more effective measures being
enacted by the next Congre IS. The
Morm"ns are boasting that they will
receive Democratic aid, but they are
mistaken.

vlauANon

Our Helena exchanges come out
openly and boldly in favor Of the for
nation Of vigilance COMMITTEES in
Montana. The frequency of crime,
the boldness of the criminal class,
the meager number and i~neficiency
of the peace officers and the crowded
condition of tho penitentiary and
county jails are among the reasons
given why such organizations should
be encouraged. It is also held that
the railroads now penetrating the
Territory afford easy and cheap facili-
ties for eastern criminal experts to
reach a new field for their operations,
and it is thought that an sdministra-
ton of Justice to them upon the old
plan which worked 80 successfully
in Riding the Territory of criminals
a few years ago could be repeated
now with profit to u law-abiding
and peace-loving citizeas.
While it is the duty Of every pub
lie journal and every law-abiding
citizen to upheld the integrity and
majesty OF the law and to discourage
and deprecats mob violence, it must
be conceded that a state or condition
Of society may arise which justlfss,
If it does not actually demand, the
formation Of vigilance committees or
committees of safety. The simple
knowledge that the best and foremost
citizens of q place have organized
themselves into q committee to de-
tect and punish criminals serves as a
check upon the commission of crime.
The thief, the burglar, the ravishsr,
and the murderer may risk detection
and final punishment at the hands of
officers of the law, but when they
know a thousand vigilant eyes are
upon them, and that a thousand
hands are ready to mete out to them
justice and punishment at the same
time they will hesitate in commit
ting crime.
There is no escape for the criminal
before a well organized Vigilance
Committee. If his crime be proved
his punishment swiftly follows. No
pleadings, no laws delay, no
sympathetic juries, nor rat trap jails
will save him. Stern, exact justice
is melted out to him. But 1t must be
understood . wide difference exists
between mob Of iucensed people and
committee composed of c%ool-head-
ed and intelligent men. While the
one will often be unjust in the excess
of its fury, the other will calmly and
conscientiously administer justice.
The one defies the law; the
other upholds and aids it
in carrying out its purposes.
At least such is the record the Vigi-
lance Committees of Montana have
They handled one of tho
most formidable gangs of road agents
and murderers that ever infested a
country, and in no instance did they
an innocent party. What
they did once they may be called
upon to do again. One thing is GER
tain, if criminals continue to escape
punishment for their crimes other
than the present means will have to
be resorted to to punish them.

Freaks OF an Insane Woman.
NEW York, July s.-Mrs. Slower
and her two daughters, both grown,
and one an invalid, occupy an upper
suite of apartments in a six story hat,
No. 12l West Eleventh street. Early
this morning the mother and daugh-
tiers were in their rooms awaiting the

take tho invalid girl to q hospital for
treatment. Suddenly the girl got up
from her chair and saying, Mamma,
dear, I cannot stay in this room, 1t
is 80 close, let me 60 for a walk on

and disappeared through the attic
door. The mother and sister fol
lowed. AS they reached the root
they were Mortified to e the girl run
to the edge, and bending down catch
hold of the cornice with her two
hands and swing herself over the
paved yard, six stories below. The
mother with q shrek rushed forward
and caught the girl by the arm just
as she was releasing her grasp. The

neither with a strength that seemed
supernatural still holding the girl,
although her whole weight now de-
pended upon the mother's grasp, but
sister came to her assistance and both
Historically for aid. In this
supreme moment of su-pense, and
the cries of mother and daugh-
ter and lookers-on, the girl shrieked:
"Let me drop; it will be better for
me; I want to co." but head and
appeared through the trap
door, and the first of the rescuers
swung himself on the roof. There
was a glad shou, and then profound
silence, except for the cries of the
maniac. In an instant he was on
the edge of the roof. and leaning far
.ver the edge, had his arms about the
girls shoulders, when a second stout
man came to his assistance. Mother
and sister fell back fainting. The
two men slowly drew the still strug-
Cling girl over the parapet to safety.
The family were once in a%ffluence.
