"Pickup," arrested in Butt con. Wednes-
day suspected of being Tascott, the

capital invested in Montana mines is
$8, ,458, 900, aud that the amount of divi-
dends declared is $12, ,226,S42. Home capi.
tai has been contributed to the extent OF
over $15,000,000. The best authorities
say that six per cent. Of all the invest
ments have been expended for labor
wages being from ~ to $5 per day
Railroads passing through Montana say
seventy-five per cent of their income Is
derived directly and indirectly from the

Tie Admission OF Montana---Vit


A LEADER representative met the Hon.
r. f. Collins, one of the members of the
constitutional convention of four years
ago and interviewed him thus:
What do you think of the probability
of Montana's S admission now, Mr.. Collins?
II think it is a sure thing. The House
has yielded every thing that the Senate
further delay. Am sorry our Legislature
though"
Do you think the present constitution
will be adopted or will it be necessary to
adopt another?
II think the idea is to have the present
one. 1t would be considerable trouble to
make change now and l think that un-
der the Springer bill it is not necessary"
What would be the result of an
election?
"The Territory would surely go demo-
cratic, would it not, Mr.. Gibson?" turn
ing to the mayor, who was present.
His honor, as true democrat, cordially
assented.
But are not you the person who
promised Mr.. Clarke 300 majority in Cas-
cade county at the Butte convention?
"Well, that was with the proviso that
Silver Bow county should give him SOC
majority. That county slipped up and
! so did we. The fact is, the democratic
party has got the Doodle and that is a big
| item in an election"
What officers will be elected?
"The governor, Legislature, judges
representative, secretary of State, auG
| other State officers, and think the county
!, officers will all have to be elected. II
4 On being asked if he wished to bet q
4 new suit of clothes on the result, hi
4 said he wanted week to consider the
matter. Pending such consideration the
! interview was closed.

CITY COU NCIL's DOINGS,

The city fathers have had their hands
full Of important work lately relative to
the proposed water-works. The water
works scheme since its inception has
created much interest. The salutary eff
feet of good system of water works is
easily understood. The importance Of
vigorously prosecuting the work to its
completion has been recognized by all
who have given the matter cursory
thought.
A special meeting of the city council
was called last night to consider the ad-
visibility Of changing the character of
the proposed system of water-works.
Mayor Gibson said that he believed the
views of Civil Engineer Cole were i'm
portant, aud should be fully considered
by the council.
Mr.. T. E. Collins was called upon to
state what he considered necessary to be
done in case the plan suggested by Engi-
Cole read report prepared by Mr..
Cole, in which the civil engineer said he
had made q careful examination of the
city of Great Falls and surrounding
country. The benefits to be derived by
the construction of an adequate system Of
water-words Ia this city are great. A
public water supply is needed. Fire pro-
lection should be afforded, and the in
habitants supplied with good pure water.
He said he was convinced that the water
used in the hotels or private houses might
be the cause of disease. He has seen the
necessity of placing the water-works
above the drainage and sewerage in order
to get salubrious water. Mr.. Cole be-
lieves that the supply of water should be
taken from point as far up the river as
the saw-mill.
Mr.. Collins stated that the company
would endeavOr to construct the works
in the time specified, but in order to
guard against contingencies he thought
sixty days more time should be given
them.
Mayor Gibson said SO fur as he was
concerned individually, as a member of
the board, he wasn't in favor of having
any cheap system Of water-works. Mr.
Gibson said he was firm believer in the
rapid growth of Great Falls, and if it is
necessary to have water-works system
he believes in having something good
no cheap and inadequate works. Mr.
Gibson expressed his approval of the
proposed system.
A committee was appointed to invcsti-
gate the matter and report tomorrow
evening, until which time the city coun-
Gil adjourned.

The notorious Belle Storr, of border
ruftian antccedcnts, was shot aud killed
at Eufala, Indian Territory, last Sunday.
She was the wife Of the desperate Cole
Younger of the Younger gang. After
wards she married Sam Storr, another
highwayman, who was shot down by her
side two years ago. Then she married
Jim Storr, his cousin. Belle was the
most desperate woman who ever figured
on the borders. Subsequently she Joined

Territory. She has been arrested for
murder and robbery scores of times, but
always managed to escape. Her husband,

THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE.
A Synopsis Of Yesterdays Proceedings in
Both Houses,

| HELENA, Feb. Council
came to order at 10 o'clock a. m.
Olds having given previous notice in
troduced Z. B. 80, an act providing for
the recording of mining claims by dis
trict recorders. Referred.
H: B. 6, to regulate the practice of
medicine in the Territory of Montana,
was referred.
Connctl wsnt into q committee of the
| whole, Thompson of Silver Bow in the
chair, to consider H. B. IL, a bill for an
act to amend an act to enable certain
towns and cities to incur indebtedness.
1t was adopted by sections with amend
ments.
Thompson of Deer Lodge moved when
committee arise that the bill be reported
back with the recommendations and be
referred to the committee ON towns and
counties for amendment.
Middleton objected on the ground that
he thought this would not cover what
was wanted, and presented an amend
ment which was adopted.
Middletan moved that when the COM
mittee arise the bill be reported back
with the recommendation that it do pass.
Carried.
G. B. 20, an act to regulate printing and
provide for the purchasing of blank
books and stationery in the several coun-
ties of the Territory of Montana, was the
next bill for consideration.
On motion of Thompson of Deer Lodge
the bill was considered by sections.
Amendments were offered by Collins,
Middleton and Kennedy. The latter
moved that the bill be referred back to
the printing committee for amendments.
Conrad moved that committee arise
Carried.
Thompson Of Silver Bow, chairman of
committee Of the whole, asked further
time to make his report. Granted.
On motion, council took recess.
HOUSE.
The house convened at II o'clock q. m
The committee on military affairs re-
port that they had examined H. B. Is and
recommended that It do pass.
The report OF the chairman of the
committee of the whole of the House on
the gambling bill recommends the strik-
ing out Of all the sections of the enact
ment clause and placing therein the sub
stitute presented by the House, and also
that H. B. No. 28, to repeal all text book
laws do not pass. The latter indefinitely
postponed.
Moore gave notice that he would in
troduce q bill for an act to amend section
"a compiled statutes relating to posting
ordinances.
Rea moved that the house concur in
amendments to H. B. No. 8.
Blakely said he offered an amendment
that 1t be referred back to the commit
tee on towns and counties. He thought
the 81 to be paid for a VOLTS hide would
bankrupt the Territorial treasury.
Whitney rose to make his maiden
speech. He said Blakely didn't know
whereof he talked. He knew something
about the ravages of stock destroying
animals. There are men in his county
who had quarter Of a million dollars
invested in stock that had told him they
hoped the bounty of So would be paid
for killing of wolves and coyotes. q
Blakely then got up and made long
speech against the bill and said he talked
as stock raiser himself. He said it
was unjust to pay fifty cents in one
county for the benefit of another.
Haskell said he would vote to concur.

Equal Expenses.

Women are working their way into
the commercial travelling business very
fast. they are determined and persistent
and it will not be very long, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, before they stand
on an equal footing with the men. OF
course, equal recognition in business
means equal recognition in wages, and
in a few years woman will occupy the
position she has been struggling for, and
between her and man there will be no
distinction. 1t will make big change
in many ways in the relation between
man and woman. The law of compensa-
tion will get in its inevitable work and
revolutionize things. The burden of
social expense, for instance, falls on
man; the balls, concert and theater
tickets, drives, sleighing parties, sup
pers and all that sort of thing come from
him. Under the present distribution of
expense and with equal opportunity in
money making, woman would possess an
advantage which nature will not allow
to any class. Mans advantage in that
respect has been offset by the extra ex-
penses he has always been subjected to,
and as woman enlarges her liberty and
sphere of action these outlays will be
forced upon herself. It is in the nature
of things that the equality talked about
SO much means equality in all ways.
