Flattering Reports Received From the
Ministers of tho State.
The Southern Methodist conference
opened it's third days session in tho Grand
Street church yesterday with religious ser
vices conducted by Rev. L. w. Flowers, of
Stsvensville. Bishop Duncan was in the
chair and continued his examination into
the charac ter of the ministers. In the
questions ~propounded by tho bishop he is
very searching in the interest of the church.
Rev. W.. Il. Colder, of Bozeman, reported a
marked advance in the church there. The
chief feature of the report of
Rev. Il. s. Clark, of Townsend.
was tho erection of a church
at that place. one of the neatest in the dis.
trict. Rev. i. l.. Lee. of DemersviIle, made
a very encouraging report of the work in
tho new field of the Flathad valley. Though
only at work there two years, a church is
re ,dy for dedication. 1t is the only church
building in the valley. Rev. j. b. Parne!l.
of Stevensville, in some particulars, made
the best report submitted at the confer
ence. This WAS particularly in reference to
benevolent collections and church extern
sions. The law allows him but one year
more. provided he was not transferred at
this conference. The characters of all the
ministers named were passed. Rev. j. b.
Pnrnell preached in the afternoon and
Rev. w. .. Wagner, of Wallace, Idaho, at
night. Committee meetings were held
during the day.

Steam Heating Causes q Rresze In the
school Trustee Meeting.
Trustees Gilpatrick. Cans, Guthrie. Mil
Ter, Walker and Langhorne we're present at
the meeting OF the Helena school board last
night. The matter under discussion was
the matter of heating the Contra school
building. There were bid in for this work
from w. II. Gilbert. Sturrock a. Brown,
Helena Steam Heating company md Arthur
OBrien. Trustee Cans offered q resolution
that the bidders secure testimonials of oiti-
zens AZ to the merits of their respective sys-
TENS, all being on the same plan with hori-
zontol boilers. This met with a vigorous
protest from Trustee Fitzpatrick, and he and
Trustee Cans had quite a war of words dur
ing which the lie was passed. Trustee
Cans aroused the ire of the old
members by remarking that u good deal
might be told OF last years proceedings,
when n heating plant WAS put into the First
ward school at a cost OF 81 900, without ndver-
tising for bids. The work should nave been
done for $1,000. if competition had been al
lowed. The building itself, he estimated.
cost $84 900, and should have been built for
$4,000. This did not serve to lessen the
warmth of the subsequent discussion. and
when 1t came to n vote the resolution was
lost BY II tie, Trustees Cans. Walker and
l.nnghorne were for it,. Trustees Gilpnt-
rick. Guthrie and Miller were against II.
Nothing was done toward giving out the con-
tract, and IL III evident the two factions of
the board Hre in for n fight to n finish.

A Taxpayers Protest.

10 THE INDEPENDENT: How long are the
citizens of Helena going to stand the fraud
being exercised in the construction of the
high school building. The undersigned
taxpayeris Mt at any time readytto make his
name known if the public asks him to do
1t in order to prove the following statement:
According to a statement made in yester-
days INDEPENDENT the contractors were
paid $40, ZOO for changing roof Of bailding;
th's does not include covering, for which
so,, pay attention to what Q
undersigned says. for a mere change
of the roof 10000 was allowed,
when any contractor would be glad to fur
nlsh the necessary material and do all labor
for an entire new ROO of the same dimen-
sions for even less than $4,000, because he
would mske n nice profit at the amount
stated. Whoever has allowed this extra
charge is either wholly incompetent to pass
upon such work or thee is a colored gem
tleman in the fence. This illustration may
also serve for the manipulation used in the
construction of the foundation for which,
In proportion to the quantity and quality
OF the work done, a charge just as unrea-
sonablo as hat for changing the roof. etc.
etc, was made md allowed.
In regard to the second bill of extras
amounting to So, 1884. 90 the undersigned
taxpayer can, rs a professional man, SUBJ
stuntlate the assertion that these extrus
would be- literally paid for if the contract
ors should receive as many hundred dollars
as they charge thousands.
The undersigned submits these state
ments to the taxpayers as simple, true facts
IN order to find out whether they are will
ing to stand this open fraud any longer.

Manager Turnbull Explains the Cause OF

Manager r. j. Turnbull says that while
he greatly regrets the accident by which
young Macdonald WAS burned by q loose
wire Thursday, he does not think the man
agement should DO held responsible for
an accident which may occur at any time,
and for the prevention of which all known
precautions are used. Strong copper wires
will sometimes break whom least exp eoted
and when secured by the best means. This
was what happened. The guy wire fell to
the post and thence to the ground. But
even then the accident would not have hap
pensd had not the rain completed the cur
rent from the trolley to the guy and thence
to the ground, when the boy completed the
circuit by taking hold of the wire. Ordi-
narily a guy in this position would not be
charged, but there is no effective means of
insulation to prevent the continuation of
the current from the trolley wire during
a rain storm. As soon as he
started out to out it down, but the boy was
boy is rapidly recovering from the burns
and it is believed will regain the use of his
fingers.
The affair should be a lesson to leave
electric wires alone. 1t is impossible to in
sulate a trolley wire on an electric railway
and while vigilance OF the employees is con
stantly exercised, a supporting wire may
sometimes drop through accident. II it is
moistened, contact will result by burning
though even a full shock cannot cause
death.

A Card From the Contractors.

To The INDEPENDENT: Referring to the
article under date July 81, relative to
the bill presented by VI, as con-
tractors on high school building, which was
done at request of school board, we would
state that the changes made in the plans
and details from the original, has made the
building as it stands to-day cost more than
double as much as it would have cost to en-
tirely complete the building as originally
designed.
1t is not, and has not been, the fault of
the contractors that these changes were
made, hut was done by the order of The
proper authorities. and we are only sur
prised that it should be minated from any
source that We should be expected to make
suoh radical changes and pay all bills with
out remuneration.
We have been compelled to pay for these
changes and the school board must repay
us.
The contractors are the real parties to
make a iok because these bills have not
been paid. and not the school board.
1t IL not possible to erect a building cost
ing $3.50 0 to $780, coo for 100000 or
$4,000. srectfully,
