ment this afternoon: "The irresponsi-
bic statements published to the effect
that the treasury will be practically ex-
hausted by the payment OF about $97,-

The Evidence Or Medical Men In the
GrAvcs Trial.
DENVER. Dec. la.-Most Of to.day's Sos
sion In the Graves trial was occupied BY
the tes timony of various medical men con-
neotod with the case. AZ TO what caused
Mrs. B%arnahy's death, the effects OF araen-
ioal poisoning, etc. DR.. hickman, who
performed the autopsy, thought the pri-
mary cause OF doath wns arsenical poison
ing, the Immediate cnuse being congestion
OF the lungs. Together with DR.. Grant 10
said no yesterday examined Mts. Worreli.
They found the musolea Of her feet very
much degenerated; no sensation IN PORTIONS
Of her feet. and inflammation. OF the toes
OF one foot. Inflammation of the nerves
was the direct cause of those Symp.-
toms, and only three things brouRht
this about, arsenic, alcohol or s~trychnine.
In his judgment this condition OF Mrs.
Worrell was caused bv arsenical POISONING.
II. b.. Carrier, brother-in-law and stem
oerepher to Worrcll. testified to his getting
n package out of the postotfice and taxing
it to Worrell's office, where three or four
days later no opened it for Mys. Barnaby.
Worrell said he would carry it home Tor
her. and the next day after Mrs. Barnaby
had been taken i'll the witness was re-
quested to hunt up the wrapper and stamp,
which had been thrown In the office waste
basket. The defense ~endeavored to prove
that the stamps saved by Worrell were
those taken off one of the packages which
DIR. Graves did send instead of from the
one containing poison.

Crisp Thinks They May Not Be Announced
Before Christmas.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Speaker Crisp said
this afternoon that he was afraid he could
not complete the organization of commits
tees before the Christmas recess. though
some of his friends think the work can be
done in a few days after he gets started on
the actual work. The failure of the speaker
to nounc the committee on rules to-day
was a disappointment, for it was generally
supposed last night that he would settle
tina matter. 1t is understood that Crisp
desires to consider the selections more care
fully. There ara from four to ten appli-
cants for each office under the control of
the house and this afternoon, Kerr, clerk of
the house, Sergeant-at- arms Yoder and
Postmaster Dalton held a conference to
consider the distribution of patronage.
Kerr decided to appoint Walter H. French,
of Massachusetts, file clerk, vice Ferris
Finch, of Illinois, resigned. The place is
worth So, 500 a year. Frank H. Hosford, of
the bet, oft Free Press, will be tally clerk.
and j. F. Snyder, of Pennsylvania, dis
bursting and confidential clerk, two places
paying good salaries.

Shot a conrad In Arms.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Fort Sheridan was the
scene of a tragedy to-day. the participants
being United States soldiers. Private VIM.
Sloss and Private james Mcdonald, of
Company D, Fifteenth infantry, were work
ing over their nccoutrements in the company
dormitory, it being inspection day, and
to quarrel, and without warning Sloss
wheeled, and catching up his rife fired at
Mcdonald. The ball entered to the right
of the left hip and passed out through the
stomach. The unfortunate man expired in
n few moments. Sloss seemed to be en-
tirely overcome by the result of his fit of
anger and refused to answer any questions,
rocking himself to and fro, saying: "Oh,
why did / do itn' He will be turned over
TO the civil authorities for trial.

urAA BEET.

What are we going TO do about it?
Ubah's experience Of the beet sugar
industry is practically in long clothes
still, and yet there is scarcely a GLASS OF
the community that the big establish
ment at Lehi does not directly Or in
directly benefit. 1t is simple matter of
fact that the factory has doubled tho
earning capacity Of the farmers. The
man who raises sugar beets TO. Lehi is
in an enviable position. Early in the
spring his contract ia made, and that
contract furnishes him with an absolute
guarantee Of his market and his price,
furnishes it too in advance Of his own
labor. In accordance with its provisions
the agriculturist contracts to raise a
certain acreageof beets. The seed is
imported and is furnished by the com
pany. The farmer is further required
to cultivate his crop according to a set
tied system, and in return the manu-
featuring concern binds itself to buy his
crop for cash and at a settled rate per
ton. The experienced beet raiser can
get from fifteen to thirty tons from the
acre. At a price Of $3.50 per ton, tho
result is easily calculated. From this
return per acre, varying from $50 to
S135, there tall to DO deducted the neces-
sary expenses incurred in raising the
crop. Everything included, the beets
can be laid down at the factory for a
total cost of $40 per acre. The first
thinning requires the services of one
man for four or five days to the acre.
Subsequently one mans labor will care
for ten to fifteen acres.
But it is not only the farmers around
Lehi whose purses are growing heavy.
The town itself has seen the erection OF
a $4,000 hotel, a $1,000 bank building
and Of quite a number of handsome res
licences and stores. Real estate has
risen so per cent in value, and the in
crease in the population is correspond
ingly rapid. The company's pay roll
often foots up the handsome sum of
$4,000, and s1so,000 is a conservative
estimate of the sum that goes directly
into the pockets of the farmers for their
produce. The necessary machinery
gives employment to skilled labor, and
the railroads are largely benefited by
the company's heavy shipments of coal,
animal charcoal and other supplies.
Lehi has the first factory of the kind
equipped with machinery made in the
United States. Helena should have the
next. What are we going to do about
it?

HERE is a wrinkle for Ex-Mayor Brad
ford and other potato barons of Mon
tada. 1t has the express authority of
the French minister of agriculture, and
experience is said to have proved it's
worth. To preserve the tubers, before
storing them away plunge them for ten
hours in a solution of commercial sui
phuric acid and water; two parts of the
acid to 100 Of water. The acid, without
appreciably affecting the skin, pene-
trates the eyes TO a very slight depth
and destroys their ~sprouting power.
The potatoes must he thoroughly dried
after their bath and before they are
stored away. Chemical analysis shows
that potatoes treated in this was are as
nutritious and healthful after eighteen
months as when fresh from the ground,
The same liquid will serve almost any
number of times, and the acid is SO dill
ute that it will not affect the wood OF
the barrels used for it's storage. Nc

THE Anaconda Standard is quite right
on the public building question. Butte
and Helena should both be provided
for. Extravagant appropriations should
not be asked for, bat the interests of
the government and the convenience OF
the public alike demand that sites for
federal buildings should be purchased
in the two cities nov and plans prepared
for the structures. Such a policy is in
the interest of true economy and will
commend itself to legislators who are in
favor Of real retrenchment In public ex-
penaitures. The sum paid by the gov
eminent in rentals in Montana could be
saved by the erection Of buildings in our
two chief cities.

Rig CroDs Increase the Risks

New YORK. Dec. 12.-The insurance peo-
pie are still talking about the Withdrawal
of the Home insurance company
from the pool. President Head,
of that company, spoke freely on
the subject to-day. This COM
pany,' said he, has simply cancelled GER
tain risks on cotton bearing roads in the
south. There has been such tremendous
crops of cotton that it has been piled sky
high, so it would not be possible to reach
much of it in case of fire. Tn risks have
increased four-fold and not the Fate of in
surance. In the northwest the phenomenal
grain crop has congested the elevators and
the railroads and of course this increases
our risk.

be held in Portland, Oregon, in May
next. It will be ono of the most distin-

held. The delegates, or the greater
number Of them, will have to pass
through Helena on their way to Port
land and we are glad to learn that our
citizens are moving to get a considera-
BILE number of the clergy to spend a
Sunday in Helena, as the guests of our

A FRENCH savant thought he had
struck a fortune when he proposed to
import Dead sea water for use as an
antiseptic, in the belief that it was
mortal to every kind of animal life, in
Guiding, of course, microbes. Luckily
ne experimental a little first. In the
densest Dead sea water that had ever
been brought to his laboratory he cult
waited various kinds of bacilli, which in
cluded those of diphtheria, measles,
%scarlatina, smallpox and other ills that
flesh is heir to. All died but two. But
those two were wonders. Within
forty-eight hours the liquid was alive

gentry had the shape of a bell clapper;
the other, of a tack with d round head.
They were the microbes of tetanus and
