COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Jefferson Canvass---A Substitute
for Kennedy.

wIcKEs, September 26.-[Special to the
Herald THE Republican Committee OF
Jefferson county will meet here in business
session in a couple of days, and one matter
of importance to be acted upon is the
resignation from the ticket of Kennedy for
Councilman, with whom Republicans all
over the county are disaffected. He hav-
ing decided to withdraw in Difference to
the known sentiment of the party, the
question arises as to, his successor. The
committee, in taking action, will look over
the field and 1 have no doubt will
make the best selection. Green, OF
this camp, is strong man,
and Meyers, of Fish Creek another, and
Nat Merriman, who has had legislative ex-
perience, another. Other names may be
canvassed, for the Republicans of Jeffer-
son have no lack of good material. A
proper candidate will leave Warner, who
everybody says has run for Office too much,
behind in the race. The committee is q
far better one than the average in this
county and the members propose that the
present contest shall be winning one.

German Democrats.

About twenty Germans, not followers of
Bismarck in his protective ideas, but devot-
ed to the free trade racket probably because
Queen Victoria is a Teuton, assembled at
Harmonic Hall last night and went
through the farce of organizing German
Democratic Club. After they elected their
officers, roping in Kuphal for president and
John Steinmetz for vice president. Samson
for secretary, and Phil. Schmitz for treas
urer, speeches were called for. By this
time beer was on tap and quite a number
of spectators crowded around, among
them being that sterling Missouri German
Sam Word and the no less Teutonic Celt
G. P. Connolly. Both were welcomed to
the floor with applause Herr Word was
the prominent speaker of the evening and
his remarks translated would read about
as follows:
Mein tear freunds: Ich habe lately das
the Republicans haben Elm county ticket
put up geheard; aber Ich weiss NIGHT
whether they were in earnest about it or
not. They say they were, but it is one
biggest choke of the season, so it IS You
can plainly see by mein dialect das
Ich am nicht elm Deutscher, aber
Ich kann, once in der while, zimlich

sagen that wir this year blenty of poodle

making to bezahlen men and poys elm

THE METHODIST COLLEGE
The Board of Trade Invites its Loca.
tion in Helena.

At q meeting of the Helena Board OF
Trade yesterday the following preamble
and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The Montana conference of
the Methodist-Episcopal church is proposing
to establish an institution of higher educa-
tion, to be known as the Montana Wes-
leysn university; and
WHEREAS. In Ine Judgment OF TINS
board, the city of Helena offers many ad-
vantages to, and in turn would be greatly
benefited by, such an institution in our
midst; and
WHEREAS, The location of this institu-
tion is being sought after by other places,
it behooves the citizens of Helena to take
prompt action looking to the securing of
the same, with its numerous advantages,
by liberal contributions and necessary aid.
Therefore, be it
Resolved. That as board of trade organ
lied for the purpose of promoting the ma
terial prosperity of our city, we cordially
and earnestly invite the trustees of the
said institution to locate the same in or
near the city of Helena, believing that both
our interests and theirs will be promoted
thereby And be it
Resolved, Further, that we approve the
generous proposition of the trustees in the
form of subscription presented, which con-
templates strong, permanent and worthy
institution, and commend the enterprise to
the liberal support of our members, and to
the public generally, in order that this in
stitution may Re secured to the city of
Helena and started upon its promised
career of usefulness and success
Helena weekly herald., 1888-10-04

The above, the main assessment, will be
increased to $9,O0O,0O0 OF over by the sup
Elementary assessment soon to be made.
This is an increase of about 81 100000 over
last year, when the total city assessment
reached $7,77O,OO0. 1t shows besides ap-
probation in the value of real property, a
considerable addition to the valuable lands,
buildings and chattels Of Helena since last
year and is an exhibit that any city of the
same size might be proud of and one which
few of the larger northwestern cities can
surpass
1t is but another illustration that Helena
is the richest city of its size in the coun-
try. For, estimating our population at
$4,000 souls, our assessed wealth to-day,
which by no means reaches the actual
valuation, is an even 5000 per capita. That
is, if Helena's wealth as assessed were
divided equally among the people, every
man, woman and child in the city would
be worth $600-a allowing that cannot be
equalled by any other city in the United
States.
The assessment roll will be submitted to
the Council tomorrow evening, when the
tax levy for the year will be made.

Street Railway Extensions.

The contract is to be let this afternoon
for the extension of the Helena Street Rail-
way company's track up Bridge street and
down Rodney to the intersection of Helena
avenue, and work will be commenced on
the road next week. The company is also
preparing for the Grand avenne extension,
involving the building of two miles of road,
which will be undertaken shortly. They
have ordered new cars from the East, and
are already making preparations to receive
them by adding to their barn and car
houses on Cutler street. This improvement
will just double the capacity of the pres
ent buildings. 1t is being made by Wal
lace, Thornburgh & Appleton. In thirty
days the horse cars will be running down
Rodney street, and shortly thereafter to
and through the Grand Avenue addition.

The Fatted Calf.

The carcass of six months old calf hangs
in James Blake's meat market, which fo1
weight, fatness and proportions approach
es 3-year-old beef Its equal has never
been seen in Montana. 1t is a perfect
specimen of the youngest effort at making
good beef at six months. The carcass is so
attractive and SO much of picture that it
was deemed worthy of a photograph by
Beckwith, who took fine picture of it
this morning. The calf was the object of
the tender regard of two mothers, and was
raised by Prosser, of the valley, and weighs
400 pounds dressed-next.

Bound Over.

Contrary to general expectation, Judge
Sanders yesterday placed George Brysor
under sentence to be held without bail to
await the action of the grand jury ON the
charge of numbering his mistriss, Annie
Lundstrom. The body of the woman has
not been found and there is no direct evi-
dence that Bryson put her out of the way
but there are several suspicious circum-
stances connected with her mysterious dis.
appearance and the Judge concluded that
this circumstantial evidence was sufficient
to justify him in binding over the defend
ant. Bryson was accordingly remanded
to Jail to await the assembling of the
grand jury meets.

DEAD MANS DAY.
No Less Than Three Violent Deaths
in This County To-day.

To-day is rather Black Friday for Lew
is and Clarke county, as three different in
quests were held on the bodies of men who
met violent deaths in this county within
the past twenty-four hours. One, and the
most tragic, of these was the suicidal hang
ing of Harry Trethowan, fully detailed in
another column. The others were Chin
amen, who died in Helena last night from
the effects of pistol wound, and an un-
known teamster, who met his death yes
terday on the Rimini road. The China
mans name was Low Yung Sam and he
was placer miner in Jefferson: n::gulch, near
Avon, Deer Lodge county. He got into an
alteration with his partners in the mine
last Tuesday, and, in the course of the
quarrel. All Wan, one of his partners, whip
ped out a revolver and shot Low Yung
Sam in the groin. The assailants escaped
and Low Yung came to Helena for medi-
cal treatment. He arrived yesterday, but
was beyond medical aid when he got here,
and died last night from the effects of his
wound. His numerous cousins" will look
after the remains and conduct his funeral
services. Coroner Morris held an in
quest on the dead Celestial this
morning. The jury consisted of Antoine
Kuntz, G. j. Ringwald, James Heller, NJ
c. Warren. Frank Adkins and w. E. Moore,
who held their sitting at the morgue.
Their verdict was that the deceased came
to his death by gun shot wound at the
hands of All Wau and that said wound
was feloniously incurred. 1t is said that
the Deer Lodge officers have already ap-
pretended All Wau and that he will be
held for murder.
KILLED NEAR RIMINI.
Coroner Morris was notified yesterday
that the dead body of an old man had been
found on the Rimini road about
fifteen miles from Helena. The body was
found near a wagon, which was overturned
in the road, and it is supposed the old man
was thrown from the wagon and killed
while driving down the gulch. The body
has not been identified, but it is that of
man we'll advanced in years. The Coroner
ordered it taken to Rimini and deputized
q justice of the peace to hold an inquest
at that place. The inquest was to have
been held to-day, but the result has not
yet been learned.

A Distinguished Hidalgo Gone.

NoGALEs, Ariz., September 27-News
has been received here of the suicide at
a ranch near the village of San Lazaro,
Sonora, of Seilor Florencia Ruiz, one of
the most wealthy ranchers of the north
ern part of Sonora. 1t appears that the
deed was committed during a fit of tenn
porary insanity, to which Ruiz has been
subject. He took a rifle, placed the
breech on the floor and the muzzle to his
breast, and discharged the weapon with
his foot, killing himself instantly. Ruiz
had wide reputation as an India n
fighter, and had for the past
twenty years taken hand in
every campaign and rendered good SER
vice. 1t was his custom to raise com.
pany from among his neighbors and en-
ployees and take the field, his company
being outitted at his own expense. He
had company in the field last cam
paign, and rendered valuable assistance
to both the Mexican and the United
States troops under the command of
Captain Lawson, who distinguished him
self by the capture of Geronimo and his
band.

spiracy in connection with the custom
Office at Ogdensburg, N. Y, to remove
confscated opium from the custom
house, was begun before United States
Commissioner Hoyne to-day. 1t was
proven that the opium had been sold to
a Chinaman named May Luck Ming.
who afterwards proved to have been all
the time in the Government employ.
District Attorney Harris offered in evil
dence letter from John w. Stone, at
Ogdensburg. dated May 81, to E. A..
Gardner, Seattle, W. T., in which he
asks how the opium should be kept and
suggesting that it was better for their
business to keep it in the cellar. Another
letter from Stone toJ. G. Haines, Seattle,
W. T., says; "Now have said to Lytle
that we could have $14, 900 for making
the shift. If you could furnish the ma

most any time" Another letter referred
to having fixed the janitor for 81 900 and
dividing $4,000 with Lytle. The case
was continued until Saturday.
