We heartily and sincerely endorse the ad-
ministration of Governor Toole ~ having
been fair, honest and just with the people
IN all his acts. We recognize in him
an able statesman who has every
interest of the people at heart
and guards the same with q jealous eye.
We endorse and commend the action of tho
eight democratic state senators in refusing
to obey the unjust, unlawful, arbitrary and
partisan rulings OF Lieut.. Gov. Richards,

CirY OF MEXICO, Sept. Ga message was
received here to-day from Acapulco, Mex.
leo, stating that the Pacific Mail steamship
San Bias, which left Panama Aug. q, ar
rived at that port, having on board ono
Cunningham. an American or Englishmen,
who was on his way to the United States for
the purpose of influencing the press in
favor OF Guatemala concerning the Barrun-
dia killing. The telegram winds up by
saying: "Advise Geronimo Pou to be on his
guard, as have reason to believe that Cum
ningham sent him the dispatch and is an
emissary of Barillas." Pou was seen at his
rooms tonight. He produced this dispatch
from Acapulco, addressed to Geronimo Pou
minister of Salvador: 81 warn Won for the
good of Salvador not to interfere in the
Barrundia killing. If you think this is inn
portant. telegraph sat San Francisco. I
would not allow you to interfere. (Sioned1

Poa said contemptuously that he knew
nothing of Cunningham. and had expressed
no option regarding the Barrundia AFFAIR.

The Mantle Men Sweep the Coun-

Lively Row In Progress in the Republican
Party Of Yellowstone-Other
Republican,.

BUTTE, Sept. 6.-[Special. The anxious
ly awaited republican primaries came of
tonight, and tremendous jubilation is
now in progress. For the past week the
Mantle and Couch factions of the repub-
lican party have been engaged in a hand to
hand struggle, and the air contained much
more sulphur than has been emitted from
the stacks of the big mills and smelters.
Couch's interview in The INDEPENDENT be-
came an issue in the primaries, and person
alities went so far as to contain intimations
of wife beating and other indefinite accusa-
tions against both republican war chiefs.
Republicans to-day practically suspended
business, and there was more electioneering,
enthusiasm of all kinds, than was ever
seen in Butte on general election day.
The result has been complete and sweeping
victory for the Mantle wing of the republi-
can party, and there scarcely remains
enough of the Couch element to tell the
tale. The doughty captain was only able
to bring three out of twenty-five precincts
into camp, and but three or four remain
doubtful. It is certain that Mantle has
seventy five out of ninety delegates to the
county convention. All the wards of the
WY VAOOVOA AAAoAVAO NOACS1uOO 0ASA WIG PAO-
portion of votes polled was about twenty
Mantle votes to one for Couch. Burling
ton. Walkerville, South Butte, Rocker.
Parrot and East Centerville are solid for
Mantle, while Couch only secured Meader-
vile and West Centerville, where the en-
ployes of the Boston and Montana COM
pany reside. The sentiment in the city has
always been practically unanimous and the
republicans are rejoicing as if a great bat
tie had been won.
A serious split in republican ranks is in
evitable, as Couch has openly announced
that if the republican party of Silver Bow
county went against him in the primaries
he would leave the party. While his fac
ton is small he controls several hundred
votes at Meaderville, detection of which
means republican defeat in Silver Bow
county. The sentiment of the majority of
the delegates is for the nomination of 7. h.
Garter. and the Silver Bow delegation in
the state convention will probably be unan-
imous for him. G. P. brennan, who is w.
W. Dixon's law partner, will be nominated
for district judge. It appears that Capt.
Lyons has won a distinguished victory, as
he captured every vote in West Walker
vile, the home of the Irish.

would have been but for information COM
ing society to the speaker. He is as acute
as any member of the house and he has set
out to scalp Raum no matter whether he
has to do it with tomahawk or barrel
hoop. The way the three republicans on
the committee vote Mr.. Cooper down and
out is refreshing, and the instances repeat
themselves with pleasurable frequency for
the spectators. To Mr.. Cooper this is
rather painful, but to the crowd and to the
committee it is fun. and fun is what good
many want just now around the capitol no
matter whether Gen. Raum borrowed on
Capt. Lemons endorsement or not.

Saying He'll Ne'er Consent, Yet Hustling
for the Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-[Special.] ]-Repre-
sentative Carter, of Montana, has been
flooded with kilograms for day or two
asking if he was in earnest in his refusal
to be a candidate for congress again. He
has answered all with the statement that
his refusal to be a candidate was
absolute and that he will
not be candidate under
any circumstances. It is generally believed
among his congressional friends that he
will be found willing to make the race, but
Carter says there are dozen men in the
state who can be elected. He still main
tains that he could carry the state if he
again made the race. Carter says he does
not have the least idea who will be selected
to succeed him.
The Montana pseudo senators having pro-
tested against the amount allowed in that
state for surveys, the general land Office re-
modelled the allowance and gave Montana
$75,00O and cut Washing ton to $4,000. The
Washington senators protest against this
robbing Peter to pay Paul. business.

ThOse at Miles City Not Indicted for the
Murder of Ferguson.
MILES CRY, Sept. 6.-The grand jury to
day failed to find indictments against the
five Indians that have been confined here
since last June for the murder of Robert
Ferguson. The Indians were decorated in
full war paint when taken into court to
learn the action of the grand jury, and
when leaving the court house they showed
decided desire to dance and yell, but con-
trolled themselves. The town was full of
Indians and squaws to see the five Indians
arraigned and great were the hugs and
grqnts as the visiting Indians greeted their
freed brethren. It was apparent from the
evidenca5s before the grand jury that the
witnesses had been tempered with aud, the
judge was quite caustic in his remarks
when no true bill was handed in.
Two hundred and sixty-two cars of stock
have been shipped from this point since
July l. when the beef f-shipping season
commenced.
A Heavy Mining Transaction.
GREAT Falls, Sept. 6.-[special.] 1.-The

composed of Charles E. Conrad, G. r.

L. Neihart. The capital stock of tho COM
pany is $3,00O,O00. The mine was one of
the first claims located in the Neihart dis
trict, and has been considerably developed.
1t was bonded about six years ago in the in
terest of Marcus Daily, but after several
thousand dollars had been expended the
bond was given up, owing to the lack of
railroad facilities, which now exist.

Premature Blast at Spokane Falls Claims
Its Victims.
SPOKANE FALLS, Sept. 6.-Just before six
O'Clock this evening premature blast
killed ID men and possibly many more in
the Northern Pacific yard. The full extent
of the disaster is yet unknown. It was just
before the hour of quitting work. large
force of men were engaged in blasting out a
huge rock pile in the Northern Pacific
freight yards in the eastern part of the city.
From fifty to seventy-fve men were at work
in the cut at the time. Fifteen have
been taken out dead. number of
injured, and still others came out
alive. All is confusion and it
IS impossible yet to get names or particu-
blasts, to be touched off after the other
workmen and teams had departed for the
night. One blast had been prepared. In
putting in the second it was exploded, the
jar also touching off the first blast. Twenty
tive thousand cubic feet of rock were
humanity, with terrible results. Hundreds
of people soon gathered at the scene and
the work of taking out the dead and injured
has since been going on. The scenes at the
hospital are heartrending.
CLEVELAND. O., Sept. Ga frightful acci-
dent occurred at Wilson avenue crossing of
the New York, Chicago g. st. Louis railroad
at 7:30 o'clock tonight, by which at least
dozen persons were terribly injured,
some fatally. An electric mo-
tor, drawing one Car, was ap-
preaching from the south. The safety
gates we're up and the road apparently
clear. just as the motor crossed the rail-
road track locomotive running about
twenty miles an hour dashed out from be-
hind the freight train. The pilot of the
engine struck the electric train between the
motor and trail car, killing one person and
frightfully mangling others.
Struck Suburban.
SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn.,, Sept. 6.-The
Boston express this evening struck a su-
burban train ON the Danbury and Norwalk
branch of the Hoosatonic road, in this city,
and badly damaged it. besides shaking up
and painfully injuring thirty or more pas
sengers, none of them dangerously. Every
physician in the city was summoned to
care for the injured. and the patients are
all doing nicely. From all that can be
learned the blame seems to fall upon the
head of the draw tender, who, although on
duty, with red lantern, failed to give the
signal for danger.

Arc You Interested ?

Perhaps the readers of the News
would like TO know in what respect
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is better
than any other. We will tell you.
When this Remedy is taken Nc direct
ed, as soon as a cold has been contract
ed and before it has become settled in
the system, 1t will counteract the ef-
fects of a cold and gradually lessen lite
severity, ii not effectually cure the
cold in two days time and it is the
only remedy that will do this. 1t acts
in perfect harmony with nature and
aids nature in relieving the lungs, open
ing the secretions, liquefying the mu.
Gus and causing its expulsion from the
air cells of the lungs and restoring the
system to q strong and healthy condi-
ton. No other remedy in the market
possesses these remarkable properties.
No other will cure a cold as quickly or
leave the system in as sound condi-
ton. Fifty-cent and one dollar bot
ties for sale at Craig's Drug Store.

Prosperity Coming.


The Atchison Champion thinks that
the state Of Kansas is entering upon
an area of unprecedented prosperity.
There is every indication that this
prediction will prove true. In fact
the state is prosperous now and only
the stringency In financial circles in
all parts of the country causes tho
least depression now. In every part
of the state immense crops were raised
and everywhere there is plenty. Could
the farmers realize fair price for
what they have there would be no
cause for complaint from any part OF
the state.
But while It is true that very low
prices must be taken for what is sold,
it is equally true that what is to be
purchased can be had at lower prices
While the latter does not compensate
for the former on account Of the great
amount OF produce that IL for sale,
vet it goes far toward 1t and were it
not for the fact that the farmers are
many of them in debt they would do
very nicely even as matters are now.
And it is the small and what In good
times would be Insignificant debts that
are now burdening the farmers and
causing them trouble. So far as the
real estate mortgages Indebtedness 10
concerned there is no cause for alarm.
The land of Kansas would pay all Of
that without an effort on the part Of
the farmers and without q pillow being
put into the ground. And the other
debts will be paid without trouble, too,
only they are pressing and the farmers
do not like to let their crops 80 at
prices that are nothing less than a sac.
riflce in order to secure the money TO
pay them. But reports from all parts
of the state are to the effect that these
small debts, which are generally Sc
cured by chattel mortgages, are being
rapidly paid. In MCPHERSON county
alone there were 1900 chattel mort
cages Cancelled in November. At such
q rate as this it will not be long until
eli is paid and when the farmers have
succeeded in freeing themselves Of this
burden they will be comparatively
free.
There Is enough wheat, corn, oats,
hogs and cattle In the state to make
times not only easy, bnt good, and IL
they arc not sold it is because the
farmer can better afford to hold them
for higher prices. But when that
which Is ready for the markets in Kan
sas is sold there will be enough money
In the state to not only relieve the
pressing needs of the farmer and mer-
chant but enough to make money
plenty and debts scarce.
There need he no fear for the future
in Kansas. The energy and Industry
of the people will make any state
prosperous, and they will not have
long to wait for the prosperity that is
sure to come to them.

If the year 1890 is not prosperous
one 1t will not be the fault Of those
who are making representations.
There is q general and widespread be-
lief that the year will see q great re-

country, but in foreign ones as well,
and even now there seems to be q lo0s-
ening of the lines because Of the Opt.
miStic views of the business men oil
the country. There is every reason to
think they are correct.
