The Montana Contest.

In the proceedings in the man.
damas case in the district court, a
motion was made to set aside the
writ on the ground that Judge De
Wolf is wholly disqualified from
setting on the case, by reason of
his personal interest, and was ar
gued on both sides. Judge De Wolf
ran for Chief Justice on the demo-
cratic ticket, and his election prob
ably depends upon whether the vote
Of precinct No. "a is admitted. In
deciding this question Judge De
Wolf said it would be indelicate in
him to order a vote counted in
which he was personally interested,
no matter whether he would be
affected by it or not. Counsel for
the democrats moved to further
amend the writ by moving to strike
out that portion of it except what
referred to the counting of the vote
for Mediation. Counsel for the re-
publicans opposed, but the court
announced that it was its province
to order the writ amended az on
application of counsel for the plain.
tiff. The writ was accordingly
amended SO as to leave out all par
ties except J. J. Mediation. The
republican counsel then moved to
dismiss the writ on the ground that
it did not agree with the order OF
the court. Judge De Wolf over
ruled this motion. The republican
counsel then filed a demurrer to
the writ on various grounds, mainly
that as far as the relator is con-
cerned, he has plain, adequate and
speedy remedy at law, and his rela-
ton in these proceedings should be
the same as the candidate for dis
trict judge of the second judicial
district, and that his said relation
is in his individual capacity, ask
ing for a remedy to enforce his in
dividual right, and not as a citizen
asking for a remedy to enforce a
public right common to all citi-
zens. Judge De Wolf put his judi
cial foot on this.

IT is not often that CRATES breed
when in captivity, but the mother
giraffe in the geological garden in
Cincinnati gave birth to healthy
youngster about two weeks ago, and
in spite of the utmost care, the baby
lived only week. 1t died from
lack of proper nourishment. Its
mother refused to feed it from the
first, and the experiment of raising
it by hand failed.

ACCOUNTS still continue to be pub
lished of the restitution and want
of the people of North Dakota on
account of the failure of crops Tor
three years in succession. One &C,
count estimates that fully 2O,OOO
families, representing 100000 per-
sons, we're bordering on the last
stages of restitution. The sltua-
ton is serious in South Dakota,
but not so appalling, as the towns
can do more for the outlying dis
tricts than can those of North Da-
kota. The county commissioners
in ten counties have undertaken to
supply the destitute with fuel.

Wealth in America.

Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman, the
well-known New York statistician,
has been engaged for some time in
collecting facts to show as precisely
as possible the proportion of the
wealth of the country held by 8
few rich men and families; and he
finds greater concentration OF
wealth in the United States than in
any other country. Mr.. Sherman
enumerates seventy owners of more
than $780, 900, and these seventy
names represent an aggregate wealth
of $2,7OO,OOO,OOO, an average OF
more than $37 900, 600 each. In max
ing this estimate, Mr.. Sherman did
not look for less than twenty-mill-
ionaires, yet he incidentally discov-
cred fifty others who were worth
more than $1O,OOO,OOO each, and
he says list of ten persons can be
made whose wealth averages $780,
100000 each, and another list OF
one hundred persons whose wealth
averages $25,00O,00O. He insists
that no such lists can be made up
in any other country. "The richest
dukes of England" he says, "fall
below the average wealth of dozen
American citizens, while the great
est bankers, merchants and railway
maguates of England cannot COM
pare in wealth with many Ameri-
cans"
Mr.. Shearman's conclusion is
that $4,000 persons own one-half
the wealth of the United States, and
that the whole wealth of the coun-
try is practically owned by 100000
persons, or one in sixty of the
adult male population, and he pre-
diets, from the rapid recent con-
centration of wealth, that under
present conditions $4,000 persons
will practically own all the wealth
of the country in thirty years-or
less than one in 500 of the adult
male population.

the new state is bound by its con-
stitution to submit the question of
universal suffrage in a year from

the suffragists are going to concen-
trate their entire strength and camp
down in the new state until that
time. The Post says that dakota
is wed to her billiards. and cyclones,
her hot winds and drouth, but she
will have to bend her back gracefully
to new sorrows, as we'll as the new
honors of statehood. There is no
such thing as unalloyed triumph"

HALEY found him lying under a pine
tree three hundred yards north of the

chased in Placerville. He was living

IT will be remembered that about
year ago a small stone image rep
resenting woman was found in the
town OF Nampa, while boring for an
artesian we'll was in progress, at a
depth of two hundred and twenty-five
feet. 1t made considerable remark
here and the facts were copied into
Eastern papers. But few days ago
Postmaster Leonard received letter
from professor in Minnesota inquir.
ing AS to whether any photographs
had been taken of the image and if
not he would pay the expense of such
photographing. In any event he
wanted one. The postmaster being
busy gave the letter to another gen
tleman to answer. In the same town
some bones were found during the
past week by workmen while digging
well at depth of fiftytwo feet
Rev. J. H. Barton, who has some
knowledge of animal anatomy, ex-
amined them upon he ground and
saws that one of them was small
bone decomposed and broken when
taken out, the other, he thinks, was
the ankle of large deer or elk. The
Na,npa Progress of Yesterday gives
the following account: "Soms work
men, while digging well on Capt.
Bernard's place, in Nampa, found the
astragalui (ankle bone) of some large
animal at a depth of fifty feet. This
bone might have been that of the
primitive horse which roamed over
these plains in the ante-diluvian peri
cd, or it might have been the bone of
the American bison, or of the great
bear which became extinct at a later
period. The soil where it was found
is of a very fine texture, of sedl-
mentary character, and contains a
large amount of bone ash, or decom
posed bones, very rich in phosphates.
How deep this soil is is not yet known.
The we'll at the present writing is
sixty feet deep and no change in the
character OF the soil has yet occurred.
These facts are interesting as going
to show that this section of the con
tinent was inhabited many thousands,
perhaps millions, of years ago BOISE
