THE DRESSED MEAT BUSINESS.
Timely suggestions-This is the Place to
Establish 1t,

Timely suggestions-This 10 the Place to
Establish 1t,
To the editor of the TRIBUNE: The
people of Helena, are making
special efforts to secure the establish
ment IN that city of yards and works for
the dressed meat business. So that un-
less we take immediate advantage of
the situation, that particular industry is
liable to be taken up by some other city
less favorably endow ed with the neces-
sary surroundings and the field occupied.
Now the question that the citizens of
this place should ask themselves is, are
we going to let Helena secure this bust
ness when we are so admirably situated
for just such an enterprise? Great Falls
is the natural center of the great beef
producing region of Northern Montana,
with all the natural accessories for the
economical handling of all meat-produc-
ing animals. Cattle, sheep, hogs and
poultry Of all kinds can be and are
raised largely in our own county and the
country naturally tributary to this place.
Why cannot our stock men who have
also large interests in this city and coun-
| ty organize joint stock company to dress
their beef here and not only save them
selves large margin on the beef that
they now ship to the eastern markets, but
also inauguarate an industry that will un-
doubtedly grow into immense proper
tions In the future and add another lever
to the forces that are lifting US to the
position Of great industrial city? 1t is
common thing to hear men say, "Oh,
these things will all come in time If we
wait" Is It the case with individuals
corporations or communities that those
who wait are the ones who make the
greatest progressP Hardlyl It. push
energy, foresight. Enterprise quickened
to see opportunities and nerve to take
hold of them, will bring success to either
the Individual or city.
fone particular industry or enterprise
languishes they are quick to direct theil
energies into another channel and keer
moving onward, and when this spirit pre-
dominates success is foregone coDclu
sion. We have enough non-residents Of
our city who are directly interested in
stock growing to begin and carry to 6
successful issue an enterprise OF thit
kind. Lot us hear from them on the sub
| ject. D.

How Dr. McAipIn of Caribou Fell
Among Thieves.
Especial to the Press.

HALIFAX, October 28.-The first of last
week there arrived in this city an elderly
man with long hair and beard, wearing sober
black clothes and a silk hat. He said he
came from Portland, Maine, but belonged in
Texas. He gave his name as DIR. Cummings.
Last Thursday there arrived ON the train a
nice looking young woman named Josephine
McCormey. She says she was met at the
station by the doctor, who took her to the
Royal Hotel. He told the people there that
she was to nurse an invalid, who would ar
rive later on. About the time Of the arrival
Of the girl, the city marshal and Detective
Power got hint that there was something
wrong, and watch was put on the party.
Or. Cummings was noticed to visit several
drug stores. and 1t was ascertained that the
girl was using the alleged physicians room.
Detective Power saw the girl and got full
statement The girl was then arrested and
Will be held to give evidence on charge of
malpractice. The doctor denied the charge
Cummings said he had visited Maine and
had remained some time at Portland. Cum
mlDgs claimed to be great Indian doctor.
The police are in possession of letters which
show that good sum of money has been
sent to him by parties in Cumberland coun-
ty. The police are informed that Cummings
was arrested on similar charge in Boston,
but got clear. When searched letters from
parties in Boston, New York and Portland
were found. The girl is about twenty
Cummings will be tried tomorrow. The
parties implicated are said to be persons who
have held good positions in society. Some
OF them are married.

PRETTY THIN YARN.
A Chicago Papers Ridiculous Attack
on Maine Congressmen.

BosToN, Mass, October 2S.-A Washing
ton despatch to the journal says: "The
Chicago News, In It's issue OF October oath
contains sensational article, in which the
claim is made that in the closing days of the
last session of Congress, Joint resolution
was passed appropriating one million dollars
for the purchase Of nickel to be used by the
Navy Department, and that the passage Of
this resolution was secured by the corrupt
cooperation Of Senators Hale and Sherman
(Republieans) and German (Democrat), and
of Representatives BOutella and Butter
worth (Republicans), all of whom acted In
the interest, direct or indirect, OF the Stand
ard Oil Company, which was to be the imme-
diate beneficiary OF this appropriation. The
article furnishes the means for its own ref
utatiOn. III such conspiracy as Is charged
had been entered into II Is impossible to sup
pose that cOnspiratOrs influential enough TO
have sileneed the two parties In Congress
should have failed 70 secure for the Stand
ard OIL Company and its ally the Canadian
Copper Company the fruit Of that conspira-
ey in the shape OF a contract for the pur-
chase Of one million dollars worth OF nickel
at such price as that company might choose
to dictate. The resolution, In Its terms,
gives absolute discretion to the Secretary OF
the Navy as to the price, time and place of
purchase, and requires no accounting Of him
for anything that he may do In accordance
with its provisions. Yet not one dollar Of
this million has been expended; no contract
has been made with the Canadian Copper
Company for the purchase Of the nickel; no
nickel Is to be purchased Of any one until
further experiments shall have been made
to test the best method OF combining the
nickel with the steel; and, when the Navy
Department shall be ready TO make its nuI-
chase of nickel, the announcement Is made
that the purchase will only be made after
proposals shall have been received In answer
| to formal advertisement inviting them"

but seas broke clean over the bridge, and az
times IL was feared she would founder. One
small door was all that was left open and
the others had TO be closed from the inside.
AS it was Impossible TO stand on the decks,
the men were on the bridge aud when a man
was wanted to go below he had to watch his
chance. The seas smashed a corner OF the
bridge and washed everything movable from
