Frank Conley, the partner pf Tom Nc
Tague in the prison contract business. has
been nominated BY the democrats 81 Deer
Lodge City for mayor. Conley ia very pop
ulsr, and it is not unlikely the republicans
may let him get in without any opposition.
On the Sunday following the nomination
Frank felt very happy n invited q few
friends to join him in a spread, the best the
town could put up. Spring chicken, early
vegetables and every delioaoy III sight was
ordered. Whsn the repast was spread Con-
ley prepared to do the honors and carve the
chicken. He stabbed at it with the carving
knife. There was a rebound, and the knife
almost flew from his hands. The TOW was
uninjured. Rather %springy,n remarked
ono guest. ''India rubber" ventnred an
other. "One Of the pioneers" came from
a third. Vintage Of 40 exclaimed tho
fourth. Conley WAS rather hot under
the collar by this time. He attacked the
chicken in all parts and finally secured an
opening. BY the exercise of great muscu-
lar strength Conley succeeded in rsnding
the fowl into more or less artistic sections.
Molars and grinders failed to make any i'm
preston on the pieces and the party Toasted
on vegetables. When they we're through
Frank asked for the bill, throwing down a
S. note. The bill was handed to him
$3.50. Conley Q down in his pocket and
found be only had $3.50. He threw it
down on the table, with the remark,
''There's the balance" The hostess picked
it up and made no kick about the other dol
lar. As soon as he %replenished his purse
Conley made the amount good, thus de-
s~troyinR q possible campaign argument,
though he says when he eats spring chicken
hereafter he will raise them himself.
TIL crayon portraits Of the ex-mayors OF
Helena, which havs been on public exhibit
ton in the Wells company store window
for some weeks. were taken to the city hall
yesterday and will be suspended from the
wall Of the council chamber along with
that Of John Kinna. the first man to hold
the office. Alderman T. p. Fuller, who ID
one Of Helena's ex-mayors, tells q little
story about those pictures which may not
be out of place at this time. Capt. Fuller
was standing in front Of the window q few
afternoons ago admiring the group, when a
stranger approached him. ''Can you tell
me-" said the stranger, who those mon
are?" yes replied the alderman. they
are all e1-mayors." Thanks said the
gentleman, "the reason I asked you was
this. I was looking at them Il little while
ago, and asked some man who they were.
The only answer he gave me was: They're
all id rascals but one" Capt. Fuller
and tho other ex-mayors offer q liberal
reward if the man in question will show
up and signify which one was the excep-
ton.
A.. j. Davidson, who is now in Denver,
has written a Helena friend, telling Of the
beautiful appearance Of the residence por-
tiens of that city, and saying that Helena
should follow the example set by planting
trees. "April II will be Arbor day in Mon
tans," says Mr.. Davidson, land how bet
ter could the people Of Helena celebrate ii
than by literally setting out trees. both in
their yards and along the sidewalks. I
have been all over Denver, have talked to
her business men, and she has nothing in
the way of natural resources that Helena
does not possess. The difference lies in
the fact that her business men are all live,
enterprising and progressive, and if Helena
people will but follow their example, in
five years she will have 100. GOO of p%opula-
ton. After looking over Denver I will re-
turn to Helena having more confidence
than ever before in its growth and future
greatness"
