Senator Plumb, of Kansas.

Senator Plumb in many of his characteris-
tics and even in his giant frame, says the
New York World, suggests to the observer
here the late Senator Beck, of Kentucky.
The eminent Scotch Kentuekian was a big
man physically n mentally, absolutely
without show or fear, bluff, downright and
sincere, and one of the most rapid takers
that ever threw a staff of stenographers into
q panic. He was an exceedingly ugly GUS
toner in debate. He was not exactly intol-
Grant, but there were times when he had
that air, and at all times the other fellow
had good occasion to look out for himself.
MIR. Beck took his commission as senator
seriously. What is called and what passes
for society here saw very little OF him. He
was not unsociable, for he loved his friends,
had many of them and met them frequent
ly. But teas and receptions were his abom-
ination. He spent his time in the main
looking after the business which his people
had sent him here to transact for them.
The consequence was he remained to the
end of his life the greatest political power
in the Blue Grass state.
Mr.. Plumb is the Beck of his party, and
has his party at home at his beck and call.
He keeps his eye open constantly for the in
terests OF Kansas. Society takes up very little
of his time. He is on the go from the hour he
reaches town until the hour of his depart
ure. and no point is overlooked during his
stay. In the senate he bears a noteworthy
and effective part in the debates, and when
be takes the floor there is always attention
given him.
The present leadership of his party is not
at all to his liking, and he does not hesitate
to say so. Nor does he approve of the ex-
tent to which Reed and Mckinley carry
their ideas of protection. Still he is a re-
publican, and does his fighting within the
party lines. He voted against the McKin-
ley bill, but he afterwards supported his
party's candidates who were running on a
protection platfor m.

THE GREAT DAVIS CASE.

The trial of the Davis case which be-
gins at Butte to-day, will DO one of the
noteworthy events in the worlds his
tory Of legal contests. Aside from the
ownership Of a vast fortune there will
appear many elements of romantic in
terest. 1t is not too much to say that
it has already become quite as we'll
known to newspaper readers as the
famous Tichborne case, which it resem-
bles in several ways. A will is presented
for probate, IN which nearly all of the
estate is bequeathed to John A. Davis,
brother Of the dead millionaire. 1t is
alleged by the claimants that this docu-
ment is a pure fabrication. The great
est known specialists in chirography will
testify, and the fine art Of detecting d
forgery will be employed in all its forms.
The allege forger of the will will be
called to tell what he knows, and the
results Of a long and interesting hunt
for evidence will be made known. Col.
Ingersoll will open the case for
the claimants and will be assisted by
All ANolAuiiioA VAyois VI NOW IOTk, Mr.
E. w. Toole, Mr.. j. B. Clayberg Of
Helena, Mr.. G.. w. Stapleton Of
Butte, and prominent attorneys
from other states. For the other
side are Col. Woolworth of Omaha, Con
gresham Dixon, Judge Kirkpatrick, Mr..
]. F. Forbis of Butte, Col. w. +. San
ders of Helena, and Judge Trumbull of
Iowa. An array of more brilliant or
better equipped lawyers could hardly be
secured. 1t will be a battle royal to be
fought until the last gun is spiked. The
most recent and perhaps the most un-
fortunate phase Of the contest is the
trial of an editor for alleged contempt in
a newspaper discussion of the contest.
This will, however, give added interest
to the trial, every turn of which will be
keenly watched by the people of Mon
tana. The serious allegation Of the
claimants that a fair trial could not be
obtained in Silver Bow county, and
which was not supported by the su-
preme court, will be another point to be
studied by the public as the case pro-
Altogether I'VE may expect a
in which public interest will
increase daily as the evidence is deyel-
oped.

Gen. Frank Marshall. the first governor

an illustration Of how quickly a mans views
