Patterson. postoffice clerk, was caught
in the act of robbing the mails IN the
postoffice here by Inspector Watkins
today. Patterson has been in Butte
nearly two years. coming from Salt
Lake, where he carried mail route be-
tween Salt Lake and Ogden. About
FIVE weeks ago complaints be-
gan to flow in to Inspector
Watkins about lost letters, and all
were in regard to letters going out and
none coming in to the Butte Office. The
Butte Office was visited several times by

in two decoy letters and hid himself in
loft over the mailing room. Patterson
began sorting letters. runniag his
thumb along the edge in a peculiar
way, and struck one of the
decoy letters, which contained
IS and 5Ocent silver piece. He tore
slit in the letter, looked in. apparently
did not like the denomination and
passed the letter by. Then he struck
genuine letter addressed to W. H.

have twenty votes to insure
appropriation bills, and the probability
is that all except Van Gorder will have
to give way to Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis mean to lose no time in reappor-
tioning the state, and Senator McClel-
land introduced an enumerating bill
which necessitates the completion of
the census taking by March 2.
The usual crowd thronged the assem-
bly, chamber, and the usual quantity of
flowers bedecked the desks of the mem
bers, except that Gen. Husted's was
conspicuously large and brilliant. The
work of organization was effected
quietly, and the governors message

poned. Mr.. Donnelly regretted the in
advertencv, and proceeded to business
without oStentation. The organization
was speedily perfected by the appoint
ment of MIR. Johnson, of Pipestone
county, as reading clerk; Mr.. Kenny, of
jackson, as document clerk, and MIR.
Grennan, of Dodge, assistant secre-
tary, and then Andrew STEVENSON, of
FOLK county, was appointed chairman
OF the committee on credentials, and
MIR. Donnelly requested the secretary to
read article 5, section II, of the ALI
ance constitution. 1t showed that the
committee on credentials in every
county should be chosen by the secre-
tary ami chairman of each, who would
Ill turn be chosen by the delegates from
their respective counties. A recess OF
ten minutes was then taken in order to
give the committee time to report.
BY this time Mayor Winston had APP
peared, and he proceeded to give the
usual address of welcome. He was
warmly applauded when he presented
the honest tillerS of the soil with the
KEYS Of the city for three days.
Oliver L. Erickson, Minneapolis
labor leader, gave hearty welcome to
the visitors in the name of the Mime
apolis wage-Workers, in burst of ora

enthusiasm. He had supposed, he said.
that the Alliance was dead, for he had
often read its obituary in the papers.
But, in looking over the large hall filled
with Alliance men," continued Mr.. Erick-
son, Il am convinced that the Alliance is
going forward. The city is yours. gentle
men. You can have anything you want ex-
cept government bonds and railroad passes.
Mr.. Erickson extended a cordial in
vitation to attend the banquet to be held
in the hall this evening, and he closed
with an appeal TO them to never stack
arms until the last millionaire and the
last pauper shall have been banished
from Americas fair domain. This
elected another enthusiastic burst of
applause.
Mr.. Donnelly ascertained that the
committee or credentials was not yet
ready to report, and ne proceeded to
give his annual address in compliance
with the provisions of the constitution.

to any positive conclusive results, showing
his indebtedness or non-lndebtedness, this
committee accepts the report OF the finance
committee, and recommends that the state
Alliance pass q resolution that the whole
matter be indefinitely postponed.
A great deal OF time was consumed in
the report OF the committee on creden-
tials, and it revealed badly muddled
system ofarriving at the naming of del
egateS entitled to seats. AS an illustra
ton, Lincoln county was credited to
two delegates, whereas it is entitled to
thirteen. The. result was fit of eX-
cltelnent and constant struggle Oh the
floor among the counties that had been
inadvertently shOrn of their full
strength. Motions and cOunter-mOtiOns
rained fast and furious, and it excited
Donnelly's genius to straightep OUT the
interminable tangle. But it was finally
done, and then the reports of the presl-
dent, and the other officers, and the
committee on finance. were unanimous
ly adopted.

and won the recognition of the chair
