thoughtfully deducted the agents fee
before paying over the money to the old
soldier. The report Of the committee
says: ssThe attorney takes the toll, the
veteran the grist, and very often the toll
and grist are SO nearly equal in size
that it requires a set of apothecary's
scales to determine which is grist and
which is toll. Disguised with the small
sum left him he is an easy prey to some
OF the agents that assure him he has not
received proper rating, and another
agreement is made that in the usual
time reaches the surface, and in this
way the old soldier is supporting an
army in numbers, each of whom grows in
wealth at the expense Of the men who
risked life for their country. Now that
we know of these thirgs we should
study their origin and cause before it is
too late to apply remedy" 1t is said
that Secretary Noble is becoming i'm

appetites OF the sharks, who overrun his

THE WAR STILL ON.

Lively Times In the Green Household
and the Master Lands In Jail
All is not we'll in the (colored) Green
family yet. They had a set-to in the police
court yesterday before Judge Sanders and
more disastrous one at home during the
evening. The result is that Green was ar
rested twice last night. The first time he
gave bail and was released, when he again
resumed the warpath and told q colored
brother named Charles Williams, that the
town was not big enough to hold both of
them and that Williams would have tn
leave. Green ran Williams out of a gam h.
ling saloon on Main street with threatso
total annihilation if no cana IN MIA MT {

bruised and beaten by Green at the lstter's
house, where Williams lodges. went up to

Sanders, who happened to be in his Office
heard Williams complaint and ordered the
pusnacious and boisterous Mr.. Green
locked up for the night.

day morning.
At the hearing yesterday no witnesses
other THAI Williams and Mr. and Mrs.
Green appeared. Green said lie never saw
the pistol before in his life and did NOT
KNOW where MS wlIe got 1t. He shifted
the blame of dischargin9 it to Mrs. Green.
She testified that she found the wsauon
under the pillow of their ledger, Mr.. VIII

search of her husband. II was in a pas

MONTANA GRAND LODGE.

The New Jurisdiction of the A. 0. U. W.
to be Organized To-day.
A meeting Of Capital lodge, A. Q. U. W.,
was held yesterday for the purpose of ad-
hitting and initiating new members, pre-
paratory to the public installation cere-
monies of the grand lodge of Montana,
which are to be held to-day at Electric hail.
Members of the order from all parts of
the state are pouring into Helena to parti-
cipate in the organization of the grand
lodge.
The Helena members we're very badly
disappointed upon receipt of letter from
w. Verne Wilson, the supreme master
workman, announcing his inability to be
present during the ceremonies and to assist
in the formation of the new jurisdiction,
Mr.. Wilson will be unable to be present on
account Of sickness, and though his own
statement would have been sufficient, in
order to prove his inability to be present,
he sent a certificate from the chief medical
examiner. His duties IN this connection
will be performed by ]. w. Kinsley.
Another sore disappointment was letter
from r. j. Dunn, of Virginia City, Nevada,
announcing that owing to important bust
ness engagements he found it impossible "a
be present. Mr.. Dunn is the grand master
workman.
This will not interfere with the general
programme, however, though the presence

A PLEA FOR TEACHERS.

The members OF the state teachers in
stitute are singing the praises of the
Helena Board of Trade It was grace
full and thoughtful action on the part
Of that body to tender a reception to
the educators Of the future presidents
that shall come from Montana, and one
that will be long and warmly remem-
bered.
The school board of the city might do
we'll to initiate the generous feelings of
their brethren OF the commercial as
ISOLATION. There are teachers en-
ployed in our city schools who
are insuf1iciently paid for the work
they do. We should be the last to ad-
wise or advocate any unnecessary in
crease of burdens on the rate-payers, but
it seems to us that the advance we
speak of is simple and tardy act of
justice to the members of laborious
and responsible profession. There are
teachers in our local schools who are ex-
pected to weather the year on nine
payments OF seventy five dollars each
That makes a total of six hundred and
seventytive dollars per annum, or
fraction more than fifty-six dollars
month. AS rates rule in Helena at
present, their necessary expenses for
board and room alone cannot be much
less than forty dollars month, calcu-
lation that leaves them the. munifcent
sum of sixteen dollars month to buy
gloves, clothes and other uncone idered
trities with. That is not as it should be-.
There is not help in the town, posses
ed OF twentieth Of their education
and responsibilities, who would consent
to work for such q meager rate Of hire.
1t might at least be possible to pay
the teachers for their short holidays at
Christmas and in spring. These vaca-
tions are not of their arrangement; they
are forced upon them. They cannot do
school work during these times, however
willing they may be, and other occupa
ton they can scarcely expect to secure
for such limited periods. II funds deny
them even that privilege, we venture tc
suggest that it is not absolutely neces-
sary to deduct pay for an absence Of q
half day or even whole one, if sickness
is the cause. It does not sound we'll fol
a city Of Helena's generosity and wealth
that any teacher, who has in the per
formance Of her school duties been in
fected with some contagious trouble
should be compelled to bear the expens
es Of both absence and sickness There
is not private employer of labor in the
city who would act 80 niggardly par,
as that, and, if there were, public
opinion would not be slow to cry out
upon him. Corporations are popularly
supposed to be devoid of conscience, but
we hope that the school board Of Helene
will approve OF our suggestion and show
that they are possessed at least of {
sense OF compassion.

der would have added interest to the pro-
ceedings and the grand lodge will be duly
organized, just the same.
At eight O'Clock this evening in Electric
hall it is expected that all members of the
grand lodge, members of Capitol lodge and
all the visiting brethren will b,
present. Mr.. J. w. Kinsley, being grand
master workman of the order. will conduct
the installation ceremonies of the new
lodge, and general good time will be en-
joyed. Members of Capitol lodge will be
duly installed and big surprise is in store
for the visiting brethren in this connection.
They will not only be surprised, but start
led at the phenomenal growth of Capitol
lodge of Helena. This lodge is already
fourth in size in the United States. but to-
night, with the possible exception of Butte
City, Capitol lodge will show membership
exceeding that of the combined member
ship of all lodges in the state.
Tomorrow grand ball and banquet will
take place. and for the time being the A. O.
U. w. of Montana will have possession of
the city.

A GREAT INDEPENDENT.

Next Sundays INDEPENDENT will be a
mammoth sheet, more than double the
size of our usual Sunday paper and the
largest regular edition Of newspaper
e;er published in Montana. It will con-
tain special features which will make it
the best publication to send abroad ever
issued from the Montana press Emil
nent specialists will contribute to it's
columns carefully prepared papers on
the agricultural possibilities Of the state,
the present condition and prospects of
it's mining districts, full and accurate
data as to it's climatology, articles on
the growth and progress Of
Helena, its manufactures, present
and pros ective, and its finan-
cial and other resources. 1t
will not be an old hackneyed "boom
number" filled with trashy statistics,
but live, wide-a awake newspaper filled
to overflowing with information that
everybody outside of Montana wants,
and that everybody in Montana will
want to communicate to friends in the
older states.
We shall be obliged to shut down on
advertising for this big edition at noon
on Friday, and our patrons will please
govern themselves accordingly. News
dealers should place their orders for ex-
ira papers as early as possible.
