one of them'is given: The mans real

He was an athlete. and among other
feats IL was customary with him To ex-
hibit the process Of hanging. In this
performance he relied for security on
the strength Of the muscles of the
throat and neck alone. lie had a rope
with a fixed knot that would not slip,
and passed both ends of the loop up
behind one ear.

THE result Of the city election in
Helena is unsatisfactory {, both par
ties. To the republicans because they
met with a very general defeat where
they should have had n victory. and
TO the democrats because through
some obstruse political reasoning they
sought to show public endorsement Of
the party's legislative record and
failed. Had they made a clean sweep
this claim would have been impudent-
ly made, but the fact that Judge San
ders, III republican candidate for ro-
lice magistrate. was re elected by the
normal republican majority Of 800. ef
fectuslly puts a dsmper on all claims
Of this nature. II the legislative diff
ficulty entered at all into the local
campaign, he certsinly. rs a brotherof
Col. Sanders, should have been
marked for destruction. 1t cannot he
claimed that any considerable number
Of democrats voted for him, and this
being admitted, his vote shows the
actual republican strength In the city.
The republican candidates for mayor
and treasurer undoubtedly owe their
defeat to circumstances connected
with their candidacy, not approved Of
by the party. Nothing is proven BY
the result except tn fact that the re-
publican ticket was handicapped by
some candidates that the party did
not approve Of, and that they chose an
unimportant event to administer a
