SPEED ON
Two of the Champions of Butte Make
a Remarkable ssSpin."

On Saturday evening. at 6 o'clock, Will
L. Clark, the Deputy County Clerk, and
George Davidson, a popular young jeweler,
started out on their bicycles for G%regson's
Springs. They reached the springs before
shutdown, a distance OF nearly twenty
miles. The road was in a bad condition,
owing to the recent rains. They quietly
logged along and did not attempt to make
a record.
They: started for home at 5 O'Clock yes
terday morning, and arrived here at 7:lO.
This time included a stop of thirty min
utes at the "Hump." This makes their
trip Of twenty miles inside OF one hour and
forty minutes-a remarkable journey on
bicycles, considering that the road was
very rough and, mainly, uphill.
Clark and Davidson intend to issue an
open challenge to all bicyclists west OF the
Missouri river. The chances are that they
will win.
They staid at the springs on Sunday, and
mashed" all the pretty girls at thatfavor'
ite resort.

EQUALITY OF THE sexes.
How q Dapper Little Woman Made a
Mistake.

She was a trim little woman OF perhaps
35 years, who tripped gaily into the Butte
City p~ostof1ice yesterday just as a long line
of men were drawn up in front OF the win
dow of the delivery clerk waiting for their
turn to receive their mail. The little lady,
who evidently thought that the horrid men
have no rights the women are supposed 70
respect, pushed her way through the crowd
and attempted to take the place OF a man
who by his general appearance looked as it
he might be taken for a %hen,pecked nus
band. Standing in front OF the lady the
sad-eyed man said: Madam, do you be-
lieve in the equality of the sexes?"
Eyes, sir, 1 do" said the little champion
of woman's rights.
'sThen you wait for your turn" said he.
Then peeping in through the window he
said, in a tone that made the clerk shiver
as if he had been struck with ague: "Any-
thing for John Doe?" While this little
scene wal being enacted a silence prevailed
in the postofice that could not be cut with
q hay knife.

The Cheyennes Giving Trouble.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The issue OF
standard silver dollars from the mints dur
ing the week ending June goth, was $464,:-
9S7. The issue for the corresponding period
of last year was 1896, 996.
The War Department has received re-
ports from Fort Reno, Indian Territory,
dated the 18th inst, to the effect that great
excitement prevails at that place over the
threatened outbreak by the Cheyenne In
dams, known as the Southern Cheyennes.
They are making preparations to go on the
warpath, and troops have been dispatched
to quell the disturbance. The War Depart
ment officials are not informed as to the
cause of the threatened outbreak. If these
Indians go on the warpath, there will be
great difficulty in quieting them. The Chey'
ennes are reported to be as troublesome to
deal with as the Apaches are. Thu
try, however, in which the former live
would be more advantageous to soldiers
pursuing them than is the rough, rocky
country in which the latter live.

ATTEMPTED Cremation.


WHEELING, w. Va, June 22.-About l
o'clock yesterday morning greatexcitement
was caused in the village OF West Wheeling,
on the Ohio side OF the river, by the attempt
OF a Polish potter, one Hef1er, to cremate
the body of his daughter in one OF the kilns
OF the works. The man said he was too
poor to give his child a burial. Early in
the morning he fired the kiln and strapped
the body to a board, SO that it might be
pushed into the furnace. His intentions
leaked out and soon a crowd OF $50 or 200
indignant people gathered. The City Mar
shall OF Bellaire was sent for, and the body
was removed from the custody OF the
parents and given burial by Senator Wag.
ner and others. Last night it was reported
that Hefler had attempted to kill his wife
with an AK, saying he had been commanded
by the Almighty to take her life.

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,

Silver Bow Division, No. 274, Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. head
quarters at Butte, is very prosperous. The
division was only organized in April last,
and already has some twenty-five mem
beers on it's active roll. There are only eight
more locomotive engineers in this district
and they will shortly join the organization:
The division is fortunate in having good
men at the head. A. Hazlett, the e.. E.,
and George McGarahan and John Else, the
assistant chiefs, are worthy gentlemen and
most jealous brotherhood men. Under
such iudicious management it is safe to
predict that Silver Bow Division will have
a long and constant increasing career oil
prosperity.
OF all the labor organizations, the Broth
erhood OF Locomotive Engineers is one oil
the best. Their head officer, Macarthur, OF
St. Louis, is a grand a In case OF any
labor trouble, he HES to the scene OF diff.

prevents a 'strike." Arthur's guiding
principle is compromise, on an equitable
basis, and he has struck the right key
note.
There is not in all the grand army oI
workmen a firmer and drawer set OF labor
ers than the engine-drivers.

DR. DITzLER,s LECTURE.


An interesting audience met Ut the Pres
byterian church last night to listen TO U,.
Ditxler's review Of Henry Ward Beecher
late productions ON theistic evolution; also
OF Thomas Paine and I~ngersollian infidelty.
The doctor remarked, at the outset, thai
there were two classes OF sceptics-the
honest and those who desired to get rid Of
such notion that involved moral restraints
and obligations. The doctor entered into
an elaborate discussion of evolution, quot
ing largely from the writings Of distinguished
scientists. and c~onclusively showed from
such writer's that the most learned expon-
ents Of evolution believed it to be only an
hvnothesis- and that there were numerous
nhioctions nrved AGAINST it which were re-
earded as memorable. Biology, geology
and kindred sciences were brought forth to
arraign the doctrine of evolution and the
ripe scholarship OF ancient and modern
history was summoned forth to testify
against it in unmistakeable terms.

Necessary Assurance.

the business that Parliament is not now

in favor OF decentralization, n many
agreed hat it was necessary to abolish

McNally's Bold Defiance to Melon
aid, the Alleged Champion.

Miles McNally, the champion heavy weight
of Montana, called at this office last even
ing and requested The MINER to state that
he was very anxious to meet Mr.. Duncan
Mcdonald, the alleged champion, in tie
ring, at any point near Butte inside OF six
weeks, for $500 a side and the champion
belt of the Territory. The contest is to be
fought with hard Montana gloves, or bare
knuckles, as Mcdonald may select, and to
be fought to the finish under the Marquis

As a guaranty of McNally's sincerity in
the matter, he states that he has deposited
$50 with Matt Slater, at the Elite Saloon,
and he is anxious that Mcdonald or some
of his friends will cover the amount, under
fair articles Of agreement.
McNally evidently means business.

had crossed over to take a hand in the re-
bellion, with P%oundmaker n Big Bear,
have been driven across the line by Stew
arts scouts. They are still hanging o
the line and may yet give trouble, after
the troops are Withdrawn. 1t is believed
that a large number OF Canadian Assina-

4 DastardIy Attempt TO Murder an Entire
Family.

A DastardIy Attempt 10 Murder an Entire
Family.
A Chicago special says The head Of
the firm OF Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
bankers, owns a section of land at South
Lynn, near Chica. o, and squatters have
for a long time dwelt thereon without
as much as saying, " Bysyour leave"
The banker hired John Ward and his
wife last spring to keep the squatters
off, and paid them SIS day. For some
reason they were discharged, and
William Windhausen, wife, and
three children were given the
Job. The Wards swore vengeance.
One day young Windhausen
lay down on the floor, kicked, cried,
turned white and blue, and exhibited
other signs of an abnormal condition,
and the next day the second bud on the
Windhausen stem withered and
dropped. Then the whole family were
taken i'll and turned white and blue.
The squatters were thick as bees in
swarming time, the cat ran away, the
dog died, and at last doctor came.
When he sampled the well-water he
said - arsenical poisoning" The Wind
hausens are out Of danger, and unless
something unforeseen happens, the lit
tie Windhausens will have to grow up
burdened with that name, and the squat
tiers will have to keep clear Of Banker
Drexel's land. A warrant is out for
the arrest Of the Wards.
