HELENA. Nov. 11.-rSpecial to the
Miner. ION Nov. 2 Fred Ault, who repre-
sented himself as tea merchant from Gal
weston, Tex, arrived in Helena aud said
he intended to start branch Louise here.

pie and in return received the cash.

RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT.
Miss Francis e. Willard Again to Guide
the Helm of the W. C. T.U.

Miss Francis e. Willard Again to Guide
the Helm of the W. c. T. q.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-Miss Francis E.
Willard was reelected president OF the ma.
tional W. c. T. U. this morning, the vote
being practically unanimous, since on the
informal ballot Mrs. J. Ellen Foster OF
Iowa, who represented the non-Chicago
element, received but nine votes. The op.
position to Miss Willard did not make any
effort to defeat her reelection. 1t would
have been useless, as out of the 436 au-
thorized to vote, lat were appointees OF
Miss Wizards executive committee. When
the informal ballot WIS counted 43O OF the
ballots bore Miss Wizards name.' Nine
cast for Mrs. Foster, some for Mrs. Mary
A. Hunt OF Boston, for Mrs. Woodbridge
and some blanks.
A motion was made en- that the secre-
tary cast the ballot OF convention for Miss
Willard. This was done and that lady
was escorted to the platform, where she
was greeted with enthusiastic rec, ption.
Miss Willard said she was sure that many
ladies had voted for her who were not in
sympathy with her methods, She took
this to mean that they expected her to try
to keep peace. She would try, yet standing
true to the light that shines upon the W.
G. T. q. she felt that she was put under q
blessed restraint by what had been done.
A few department reports were read and
the election of the other officers were de-
ferred.

Both Houses Organlze.

OLYMPIA. WASH, Nov. 11.-[Special to
the Miner. both houses were organized
permanently to-day. During the session 1t
was announced that q message had been
received by Governor Moore from James
G. Blaine, stating the president had signed
the proclamation of admission at $40,
which was loudly cheered. An effort was
made by the supporters of Squires OF &c.
attic, and Allen OF Walls Walla, to force
a ballot to-night for United States sena-
tors, but friends OF the other candidates
argued that the election now must be held
in accordance with the constitution OF the
United States, and that the election could
not be held until the 10th. The Legislators
adjourned until 1 p. m. tomorrow, with
out deciding on the time OF balloting. Wig.
orous effort will be made to morrow by
Squire and Allen factions to ballot, but
others will oppose and it is regarded that
the postponement will hurt the cause of the
two leading candidates-Squire and Allen.

Fertner. who is now ir Canada, but could
not force the lock and the amount ofthe de-
falcation is not yet known. The county

erably ia real estate and hnilt two stove
foundries, one being at Des Moines, Iowa.
