No Compromise i'm Montana.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 9-The Republican
senator's have definitely decided to refuse the
proposition of the Democratic senator's to
investigate the Tunnel precinct election case,
giving as a reason that it would be dis
courteous to the house of representatives for
the senate to interfere in question which
related to the seats of the latter body. The
Democrats of the house now publish state

DEATH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Tho Ex-President OF the Southern Con-
federacy Breathes His Last.

Tho Ex-President of the Southern Con-
federacy Breathes His Last.
NEW ORLEANS, Dee. d--Mr. jefferson
Davis died at 12:45 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Davis has been ill for couple of
weeks and at several times in that period his
condition has been SO serious as TO give his
friends grave apprehensions. Far a time he
improved, but it was very slight improve
ment, his appetite failing and his strength
gradually wasting away. The end has been
looked for at any time within the past week.
Tho Great southenner's Career.
Jefferson Davis was born June 8, 1908, in
that part of Christian county, Kentucky,
which now forms the county of Todd. Soon
after his birth his father removed to Missis-
sippi, and settled nee Woodyille, Wilkinson
county. Young Davis, after acquiring the
rudiments of an education at the school
house of his district, was sent to an academy,
where he prepared himself for college. Two
or three years later he entered Transylvania
college, in Kentucky, where he remained un-
til 1924, when he was appointed by President
West Point. He graduated from that insti-
tuition In 1923, and determined to devote HIM
self to the military science. He served as an
infantry and staff officer on the northwestern
frontier in the Blackhawk war Of 1852
war in which his enemy of a subsequent time
Abraham Lincoln, took an active part-and
in March, 1888, was made first lieutenant Of
dragons.
He served for seven years, principally
against the Indians, and then retired having
married the daughter of Zachary Taylor,
and then for time he became cotton
planter. In 1S43 he went into politics and in
1845 was elected to congress from Mississippi,
where he took conspicuous part in all the
debates on the issues current at that time
In 1916 he went into the army again and
served in the Mexican war, distinguishing
himself at Buena VISTA although severely
wounded. Returning again in 1S47 he was
again sent to congress and remained there
until 1851, when he ran for governor of Mis-
sissippi and was defeated by Henry S
Foote
His next political position was secretary OF
war in Pierce's cabinet and upon Buchanan's
elevation to the presidency Mississippi sent
him to the senate, where he was a recognized
leader of the Democracy. The election OF
Lincoln in 1860 put an end to MIR. Davis
services for the United States. AS is well
known he was a leader in planning and exc
cutting the rebellion, and his history since
that time is part of the history of the war
against the Union.

BANK FAILURE AT ABILENE.
The First National Goes Under with
Heavy Liabilities.

ABILENE, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE First Ma
tional bank, supposed to be the strongest in
the city, closed it's doors at noon yesterday.
The liabilities are given at SIG, ,25450. The
assets are nominally s23s, ,492.67, but this
amount is swelled considerably by mortgages
on western lands, which can never be real
lied on at anything like their face value
There are also city lot realities held as prop
erty of the bank which are practically worth
less, SO the resources will be considerably
diminished. The other banks, it is believed,
will weather the crisis.

This mill was carried on actively but the
only landmark left of that company is
the old stone house still standing on the
Concord road, now Elliott avenue, near
Washington street, with the end towards
the road. That land, some thirty acres,
was bought by the company for the saw
log timber that was on it. The house
was built and another one farther down,
before any of the present roads were
made.
The first road regularly made was what
Is known as Tatuall's lane,on 18th street.
1t was laid out about 1888 by Tobias VAN
dever, to be a convenience and division
for his farm, and it was usei % .1i bringing
WOOD and stayes dc."n TO the creek wharf
or stsvs landing. On that street was
5nilt ..S nrst mouse, which still stands,
surrounded partly by barus above Tat
nall street. The little stone house, once
known as Smiths ferry house, stands
near the creek.
Then the mill stood where the present
large mill OF William lea " Sons now
stands, and the site of Peter Vandeyer,
IRE residence, one OF the owners of the
mill, stood facing the north. 1t was
built In 1857, aud tern down In 1915 by
John q. Murphey to make place for a
new brick house on the lot. About ITO
Tobias Vandever died, and his heirs
divided up his land to suit themselves,
making the o d road SO feet wide, and
the o King road that had been opened
in 1905 they used for front. They laid
out TOUR building lots between the bend
in the road and tho 33-foot street. aud
shove that they laid out narrower lots.
| But they were all long lois running back
! to 3 present Tatnall street.
The first lot was taken by Samuel
Marshall, who married Elizabeth Van
dever, one OF TIE VBndever heirs. He
built his house In l7i3 or l77I, and Jo-
strh Tatnall built his house next above
about the same time. The houses still
stand, one owned by David Derrickson
aud tue other b. Joseph Tatnall, grand.
son of the original owner at this
house General Washington stopped III
