A HOME FOR HORSES.

The Elegant Establishment A. c. Hickey
10 Erecting on the East Side.
The enterprisinR men of Helena are de-
termined that in every line of business they
will have only the best establishments in
which to conduct their affairs. and follow
ing out this determination, the capital city
is drawing upon the experience and brains
of the country for designs in the matter of
Office buildings, banks and stores. While
Helena has number of livery barns, some
equaling and others SURPRISING those in ad-
joining states, it has been felt for quite a
while that really first class stable, mod
eled after the best in the east, would be a
paying investment. Fully believing this,
Mr.. A. G. Hickey has commenced the con-
struction of stable ON the corner of
Twelfth avenue and Logan street, modelled
after an establishment of the same kind in
Boston, which is designed to fully meet all
the requirements of first-class stable
perfect ventilation. ease of ineress and
exit, safety against fire, and the minimum
of labor necessary in operating it.
An inspection of the plans shows that all
these important points have been carefully
looked after. The building will be of brick
and stone, four stories In height, with an
elevation on the Logan street side of fifty
two feet, and will cover space of ground
5Ox1O5 feet. 1t will front on Logan street,
and will be lighted by large windows on
this side and on the Twelfth avenue side

the same time presenting an appearance OF

SHE WAS POISONEDl

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it "Dlues."

Word has boon received from Hazard, Perry
county, KY, of the arrest OF the notorious Jack
Brewer He is one of the leaders in the French
faction. he is dangerous murderer, and is said
to have killed four men. The officers are afraid

No Strike.

The result of the conference of the So
preme Council of the United Order OF Rail-
way Employees at Terre Haute, Iud', ts
officially announced last night, Is that no
strike will be ordered In support OF the
Knights of Labor in the struggle of the
knights with the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad. The Supreme
Council approves the course of MT. L. v.
Powderly, general master workman OF the
Knights OF Labor, and denounces Mr.: d..
Walter Webb. third vice-president CT the New
York Central, as al arbitrary autocrat. Ihe
Knights OF Labor not bsing member OF the
Federation of Railway Employees the Sn-
preme Council Gays it Can do nothing more
than use Its eforte, as it hiss done, to bring
about peacesble settlement Of the trouble.
Mr.. Webb, when informed of the decision,
said
This was the only wise course to take.
There vas no principle involved In Wblco
they could be interested. The entire
trouble was local In character and had
nothing 10 do with organized labor.
Whether the knights Of Labor will now
take further steps will make but little DIFF
ference. There are only few knights 10

Council of the Federation can find no grieV-
snce upon which to orGer strike. yet they
censure the New York Central and its OIL
cials. They ALEC decline to give any cup
port to the strikers, hut appeal to the public
to furnish It, This, think, embodies all
that have to say" Mr.. Webb then rei(-
Grated the fact that no man taken on and
given employ ment in place of those that
left the service Of the company would be
discharged.
The New York Central Railroad bias closed
its recruiting Office In Philadelphia, having
secured all the men desired and turned
many applicants away.
Many of the discharged New York Cen
trail men testified before Mr.. PowderIy and
The general executive board of the Heights
of Labor at Albany that they were dis
charged because they we're Knights of La
Dor, and that in some cases their places were
taken By men who had been discharged for
cause.
This action of the railway mems unions
will likely be dealt blow to the struggle OF
the knights against the company.

Senator Butler hes gone to Columbia, g. c.,
to try and patch up compromise between
the TiIman and anti-Tillman factions In
South Carolina. leading democrats in
Congress regard the situation there as e1-
tremely critical, and Senator Butter Was se-
lected, not only by the leaders In South
Carolina, but by those who have the success
of party in national affairs &C heart to IN
dertake the roll of peacemsker. Senator
Hampton tried 1t early in the campaign.
but with poor success, and 1t is to be hoped
that his colleague will receive better treat
ment at the hands of the Tillmanites. Sen
ator Butler is conservative In the hg hit,
and believes the differences which exist
within the party should be Settled without
resorting to desperate means. The democrats
throughout the country will watch Mr.. But
ler's course during the next two or.
three days with more than ordinary inter-

and it is understood that they will be as.
sisted by New England capital IN several OF
