Hon. Marcus DAILY came down from

About 30 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered on the roof of A. j. McGowan's
store at Horse Plains. As il was beyond
control, the entire store with its stock was
destroyed. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.
The readers OF the Missoulion were sur
prised this morning to find most of the
first page filled with "platen instead of
the usual telegraphic news. II was soon
learned, however. that strike had oc.
cured in the Office about 1 30 o'clock this
morning. As nearly as could be learned,
the men state their grievances as follows:
"Rings" are not allowed for proper
names. An agreement exists between the
publishers and the men that all tele.
graphic and local news except such as il
Is customary to Sc. up solid shall be
loaded, as the type is bourgeois and not
standard. Last night orders were given
20 set up all articles of more than two
sticks In length, two-thirds loaded and
one-third solid. On these accounts the
men walked out. The story learned from
Mr.. Spaulding. the publisher, and Mr..
Carr, the local and telegraph editor, lis some
what different. They say that there was
no trouble until recently, when two or
three chronic kickers got into the Office
who have been kicking for "rings" on all
possible occasions. Some copy was shown
your correspond mt in which the word
Shenandoah, not being written very
| plainly where first used, was dcciphered
into Shenandoah by the compositor, quite
| unnecessarily in the case of so
common name. Other instances
Of similar charactey-~<>were given
where "rings" had been demanded.
Last night MIR. Spaulding did order all
long articles to be set up one-third solid,
but he denies that any agreement existed
he having told the men on some former
occasion that most Of the matter would be
loaded. The Missouiidn Office has been
known as one where the men make big
wages. During the past week three Of
the men have averaged s. 30 a night, aud
the publisher thinks he has asked nothing
unreasonable In asking that one-thirl of
long articles be solid. He says that in the
future, as in the past, the MisSouiidn will
appear every morning except Monday.
Whether the union will sustain the action
of the printers remains To be seen. They
may have some other reasons for their
action, but the above are those learned
from "A printer 10 whom the foreman had
told them, the correspondent not being
able to find the foreman himself this af-
ternoon.
Sheriff Hamilton OF Cascade county
came over here to-day looking for c. w.
Bresler, alias Charles II. Williams, who is
wanted for embezzlcment. This after.
noon Officer Houtchens arrested him and
took him TO the county Jail. On his way
there he admitted the truth OF the charge.
Sheriff Hamilton will take him TO Great
Falls tonight.
or the men OF this city who have been
successful in searching for mineral wealth
near home, Charles Morton is one of the
best known. He has discovered one or
two coal mines that give promise of be-
ing very valuable, and is now paying par
ticular attention to some fire clay that he
owns. Yesterday he showed the STAN
DARD correspondent assays Of two sam
piles which had been sent 10 Anaconda to
be assayed. One was as follows: Silica,
81 per cent; alumnia, "a per cent; iron OK
ide, DO per cent; magnesia, 80 per cent (;
water and loss by ignition, 10 per cent. OF
this {. {. Thurston says: 1T is fair clay,
but will not stand much fire unless you
have silica rock 20 mix with it, The
other assay Is as follows: Organic mat
ter, $50 per cent; alumnia, 25.sS per cent |;
iron oxide. 2.02 per cent; silica, COCO per
cent; lime, go per cent. This clay Is
good for terra Gotta work. The deposits
are only two miles and half from the
city and may be considered another Of
Missoula's valuable mineral resources.
A person would be very fastdlous in
deed who would not he pleased with the
many beautiful articles now at ST. Pat
rick's hospital that will be for sale at the
Catholic fair. Feminine imagination aud
taste have been well exercised in their de-
sign and they cannot fail To please.
