judge DulIose estimates that the aver
age cost IN each case will approximate 80.
The law provides a check upon such eX-
penditures, but no machinery ior seeing
that the check Is carefully applied. 1t
makes it the duty OF the Judge Of the
Criminal Court and the Attorncy-General
TO tax each bill and certify it, but II is not
supposablc that these already heavily bur
dcncd officers can find the time to enter
into the facts OF each case and decide
whether the bill is meritorious. There
ought 10 be some provision similar 10 the
law in force IN the state OF Arkansas,
which provides as follows:

BIG BATCH OF COST BILLS.
An Item Of Expense Which Should b
Scrutinized.

One Of the heaviest items OF expense to
the county is the payment OF costs to JUS
tcos OF the Peace in criminal cases where
the State fails to convict The outlay for
this class OF cases last year was 200,
and from present indications the figures for
the coming year promise to approximate
5000. There are now on file in the
Criminal Court awaiting cerifcation by
Judge DuBcse and Attorney General q.
b. Peters no less than 6j3 cost bills in
cases where the State failed to convict.
These bills are the accumulation oitensbly
OF four months, but in the patches filed by
some OF the magistrates the criminal bust
ness represented covers less than three
months. The following list gives the
names OF magistrates and number OF cases
tried where the State failed to convict:

BENTON, Jan. 1.-THE River Press
says: "We learn from private sources
that Mr.. Thomas O'Hanlon of Fort Belk-
nap received a telegram from General
Manager Marvel of the Manitoba, re-
questing him to come to st. Paul. 1t ap-
pears that there has been some previous
correspondence between the two gentle
men relative to the settlement of the
great Milk river valley by colonies Of i'm
migrants, who are anxious to find loca-
tions. MIR. O'Hanlon has been q resident
of that section for years past, having been
engaged in merchandising and other
active business at the Fort Belknap res
ervation. He has time and again travel
ed the country over and is perhaps better
acquainted with it's topography and un-
developed resources than any other man
in northern Montana. General Manager
Marvel is aware of the fact, and also
knows that Mr.. O'Hanlon is man whose
experienced Judgment is seldom if ever
at fault in general business and practical
affairs Of life."

which was kind Of q dog eat dog affair.
He had no doubt but Murphy was a
great rascal, but he was not the only ras-
cal. The justice il warm advocate of
closing the disreputable dives in the city.
1t is said that Murphy was heard to re-
mark after his discharge that he had
money enough to pay his attorney and
would have stuff left IF he has he will
probably blow it IN on some sure-thing
game, although he may have the system
of beating it down fine.

this and hitch up to their slelghs, throw
the bells on and come into the camp
to spend pleasant evening and
shake hands with good friends all round.

selves Heard-The Omnibus Bill
Introduced by Mr..
Springer.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-This mornin!
the senate sub committee on finance, il
charge of the tariff bill, heard delega
tions of carpet and woolen goods manu-
facturers and wool-growers. The former
decreed certain notifications IN the
wool schedule tending to the reduction OF
duties, while the wool-growers wanted
additional duties. Their views at times
was widely divergent and expressed with
much vigor. As far as learned the argu
ments made no change in the minds Of
the committee.
The tariff bill monopollzed the time
of the senate and the statehood bill the
house. Mr.. Springer had his omnibus
bill substituted for the senate bill to ad
nit South Dokota.

[From Fridays Daily.]

county Commissioner Clngan Is in
town.
The formation Of new mercantile
firm will be announced soon.
Messrs. Hanks 6 Atkinson will carry
on banking as well as real estate and in
surance business.
Mr.. Shepherd of Shepherd Il Finn,
Cascade, was in town yesterday and re-
ports business good.
Traffic proceeds as usual on the Mani
toba line today 1t was the broken axle
of car that caused the mishap yesterday.
The senatorial contest in Minnesota
has been watched closely by the Minne-
sotians here, many of whom are acquaint-
ed with the leading contestants.
Twelve more carloads of ore went to
the smelter today and will soon be re-
duced to bullion, for the furnace contin-
ues red hot. This ore probably came
from the C9ur d'Alene region.
The delinquent tax-list is composed
largely of small sums due by non-resi-
dents and in no way reflects on the credit
Of the city or county. Property owners
paid cheerfully large sum in taxes.
General Manager Anderson says that
there are eight coal machines now at the
Sand Coulee mines and that three more
will be added soon. More buildings to
accommodate workmen are to be erected.
Ayres and Sheridan are today busily
employed with large force Of men fill
ing the old levee log warehouse, former

Chas. o. Kendall and others are also gath
ering in the glittering blocks of clear
ice. Now is the time for this work.

Charles M. Webster has returned from
the east after sojourn in which he COM
bined business and pleasure. He brings
good news of the growing fame of Great
Falls and predicts that the city has en-
tered on prosperous year. When he
left the Twin cities the senatorial cam
paign was still in progress and the legis-
lature was in full blast His many friends
will be glad to know that Mr.. Webster is
home again.
| Regarding the Thomson failure the
Benton River Press states: "Mr. Conrad
says lie thinks the goods attached may be
| sufficient to pay the claims Of his house.
Thomson started in business there about
three years ago, buying all his goods
since that time from Messrs. l. G. Baker
s. Co., OF this city, whs agreed to sell him
goods on account if he did not make any
outside debts either in this territory ol
east. 1t appears that the cause of Thorn
sons failure was that, without the know
ledge Of Messrs Baker Y Co., he disre
garded his promise in this regard of late
and incurred obligations east. Business
grew slack with him and he found it i'm
possible to meet those bills as they were
becomiug due, SO he quietly took trip
to Canada. As soon as Messrs. Baker Y
Co. learned the state of affairs they
brought suit by attachment and closec
the store, which had been left in charge
of the head salesman. Thomson was !
liberal advertiser, and sold a considerable
amount of goods the first two years o
more, and was supposed to be dong
good business at the time Of his failure.
