A PERSISTENT CLAIMANT.

How Mrs. schirm Pursued an Alleged
Debtor.
Attorney George Hayford used to live
in Santa Ana and bought bread from
Mrs. Schirm, which she claims he never
paid for. She had been on to his coat
tails when he left that town once before
trying to collect her money, appar.
emily without success, for Thursday,
when he went to Santa Ana to see Mr..
McCarty, his father-in law, Mrs. Schirm
followed him closely, and when be got
on the train she planted herself in car
and together they started for this city.
At Norwalk one of the passengers told
a HERALD reporter that Hayford made a
sneak and dropped off the car, and as
Mrs. Schirm learned of his departure
she stopped the train and started to
walk back to Norwalk. The last the
passengers in the cars heard from her
was: Il got that bread bill out of his
skin yet, and don't you forget it,"

THE SLATE WILL WIN.
THAT Is THE POLITICAL VIEW OF A
REPUBLICAN.
A Good Deal of the TIA IN IA boom de ra
About the eSituation-Spence and His
Sack the Disturbing Element.

"This is ali ia ra ra boom de ra bust.
ness," said Republican to a HERALD
reporter yesterday, "this double-leaded
matter in the Express, tSe replies in the
Times, the organization Of the Republi-
can league in supposed opposition to the
Union league. All these things are but
blind with which to fool the voters
who are in opposition to one or the
other of the leagues. Both leagues are
being manipulated il the interests of
Colonel Otis and Colonel Northam, and
the supposed fighting does not amount
to anything. The slate is made up, and
there are plenty of men in the ring who
could tell you to dot just what the re-
sult of the convention will be.
"There is just one disturbing ele-
ment and that is E. F. Spence" con-
tinued the talker," but it is doubtful if
he has any chance. The other side have
all the workers. and Spence does not
like to spend money. If he would open
his sack, he might make it, but even
| then it would be matter of doubt, and
money would have to flow like water.
Colonel Otis has always been consid-
| cred a Mckinley man, and he may be
yet, but was told today that he is real
ly for General Miles, and is the repre-.
sentative here of the generals political
| bureau. There will be some fun at the
primaries today and possibly some rough
work. There may be few Republicans
who will kick over the traces and resent
the blows from the bosses lash, and i
they kick hard enough the result will
be a disclosure of the machine which
| will otherwise remain hidden.

Californian's preferment. The Honor
able Morris was the chairman of the
Chicago convention that nominated Mr..
Harrison and he was also the head Of
the committee which was appointed
to notify the nominee of his selec-
tion. Unfortunately our fellow citizen
is very eloquent man, and his elo.
quence is of very effusive and verbose
type. In addressing the favorite son of
Indiana he drew fervid picture of the
great men who composed the convention n
and of the presumably still greater men
who came before it for nomination.
This was good up to this point. The
president was gratifed at being asso-
ciated with such eminent men. But

scribed this scene and its peculiar anti

ceptible twitching of the muscles of
Benjamin's eyes and mouth as this as

from the glib tongue of the Californian.
1t is four years since this lapsus inqus,

The vote in Rockwell-Noyes contest in
the house yesterday is thought to have
come political significance by the Wash
ington correspondents, and perhaps it
has, although the Interpretation is a
rather strained one. Rock we'll is the
sitting member and Democrat. His
claims to his seat have intrinsic merit
and have been warmly supported by
Senato Hill. The house decided in his
favor, thirty-nine Democrats voting for
his opponent, Noyes. There is large
element in the Democratic party that
think it looks very magnanimous and
noble to deny justice to their own parti-
zans. Thus, OF the sixteen contestants
in the Fiftieth congress, which had a
Democratic majority, not one was
seated. That was on the plan of being
magnanimous to your enemy and pusil-
Luminous to your friends. The Fifty
first congress repaid this forbearance by
seating every Republican contestant, as
usual. 1t is worthy of note that the ap-
pearance of Senator Hill at the
capital has changed this Demo-
cratic rule of standing in with
your enemies. The occasion was

ONE lesson seems to be evolved from the
recent earthquake in the northern citrus
belt, and that is that the people up
there would do we'll to build in more
substantial manner. The testimony of
the newspaper correspondents who
looked over the scene OF the late dis
turbances, all tends to show that the
brick edifices that were shaken down
were constructed in the fimsiest man
ner imaginable. One thing that it
would be we'll to bear in mind is that
this quake was some five or six hundred
miles north of Los Angeles; that it was,
to be very specific about it, one OF the
special benefactions dealt out to the
northern citrus belt. Timid persons,
therefore. who are roaming over South
ern California for their health. or pleas

cratic member of the elections commit.
tee, to make what looks very much like
a stump speech laudatory of Cleveland
and denunciatory of Hill. This would
appear to most people in questionable
taste. The New York senator had the
satisfaction of seeing Rockwell retain
his seat, Notwithstanding O'Ferrall's
diatribe. The vote is accepted as indi-
eating belief on the part of an over
whelming majority of the Democratic
members that the Democracy ought to
90 west for a candidate. Whether this
be true or no, that belief is growing on
all hands. The prospect of packing q
very ugly internecine fight in the state
of New York does not present anything
very fascinating to Democrats.

If THE rumors from Washington
are to be relied upon California is
about to receive cabinet appointment
in the person Of Hon. Morris M. Estee,
who is said be slated to succeed Noble
IS secretary of the interior. 1t would
really be graceful act on the part of
President Harrison to show some recog-
milton of that gentleman's long and
energetic party service. 1t is said that
the Honorable Morris has performed the
grand kowtow act to Senator Stanford
and the other railway magnates, and
that his peace is thus made at the cor

this be so there may be something in
the rumor. If not, not. Mr.. Harrison

THE HERALD cautioned its readers
some time ago to take with some grains
of allowance the kilograms which would
be sure to flood the country on the DEM
ocratic presidential situation. They are
all inspired by an anti-Hill animus, and
are intended to create an opinion of
Cleveland's overwhelming strength.
That the distinguished ex-president is
very strong indeed, and that he will
come near a nomination on the first
ballot is undoubted. But it is none the
less true that the Associated Press tele-
grams have had the effect of creating an
impression of greater strength than he
really possesses. Thus the reader of
the Associated Press kilograms would
be impressed with the idea that
Massachusetts was overwhelmingly for
Cleveland. On the contrary, the Hill
men composed at least one-third of the
Massachusetts state convention, two of
the delegates at large do not favor Mr..
Cleveland's candidacy. and the Ninth
congressional district the heaviest
Democratic stronghold in Massachusetts,
elected two Hill delegates to the Chi
cago convention. The impression was
created that Pennsylvania was unani.
mously for Cleveland. The truth is,
there was strong element in the Penn
sylvania convention that was opposed to
his candidacy. He was commended in
the resolutions as fit nominee of the De-
mocracy, and his administration was
lauded in unstinted phrase, but reso.
luton to instruct the delegates to vote
for him was voted down. In other states
which have been supposed to be en-
thusiastic for Cleveland there is strong
undercurrent OF sentiment which leans
to the belief that his nomination would
be unwise. Mr.. Cleveland may be nom
mated on the first ballot for aught any
man can say at this writing. But nothing
is surer than the fact that if he does not
receive the nomination on that ballot he
will not be nominated at all.

KELLY'S STATEMENT.
HIS VERSION OF HIS TREATMENT
AT THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Governor Treichel Refuses to Court.
Martial Man Who Insulted
Him Grossly.

John Kelly was a soldier who served
through the war in the Thirteenth New
York heavy artillery and in the Sixth
New York heavy artillery. AS result
he carried three bullets in his head, un-
til recently when he had two extracted.
MIR. Kelly is also thoroughbred Demo
crat, to which fact he attributes some
shabby treatment he claims to have re-
ceiyed at the Soldiers home at the
hands of Governor Triechel. Kelly's
story is as follows:
On Monday last 1 was at the doctors
Office when a man named F. A. Preston,
without any provocation, grossly in
suited me. He called me a
-, terms which
cannot be printed.] l never had
ANYTHING to do with the man; in fact,
never knew him before, and don't know
why he insulted me. went to the gov
ernor's office the same day and made
charges against Preston, and the gov
ernor ordered a sergeant to arrest the
man. Preston was brought in, and the
governor asked me to repeat the charge.
| did so, and the governor, turning to
Preston, said: You hear this now; if
the man proves his charges 1 will turn
you out of this place by court martial,
and you will not bother this home any
more"
He told me to put my charges in writ
ing and be on hand at court martial,
which he ordered for Wednesday morn
ing. I got five witnesses to sign the
charges, and l had twenty more ready,
and I went around to the governors s
quarters.
heard before going that Preston had
called on the governor and had apollo
gized to him, but had said that he could
not apologize to me under any circum-
stances.
Well. sir, when went in the quarters
the governor took my charges from the
sergeant and tore the letter up, saying
to me that Preston has apologized to
me and l will do nothing more in the
case.'
told him, "if Preston had called you
what he did me, and then came and
apologized to me, would that satisfy
you?" But could get no satisfaction
from him, and all he would say was,
"What of n"
"All right" Governor, said, in that
case demand my discharge; you are
here to give justice and protection to
the inmates and after l have been
grossly insulted you refuse me any salts
faction because the man apologized to
you; now on that ground l want my
discharge"
He told the sergeant not to give me
my discharge. 1 could have what
things belonged to me, he said, but not
my discharge on that ground. So on
Thursday morning left.
| am Democrat and always have
been, and l think that may have had
something to do with the case.
This would seem to be a case in which
Captain Barrett would do we'll to make
some investigation.

HAY-FORK PRITCHARD.

1t Is Said That He Has Married for the
Ninth Time.
1t was stated yesterday that Mr.. B. F.
Pritchard, of some notoriety as marry
ing man, had gone through the ceremony
for the ninth time to Miss Mary A.
Baker of Norwalk.
Since 1886 Pritchard has, as stated,
married nine times, going through the
ceremony three times with one woman,
who was Miss Conner of Charleston,
Ill. The last time he came into promi-
nence here was when he was detected in
an amorous correspondence with Miss
Matte Bellah of Atlanta, Ga.
Pritchard has been mixed up in some
very shady transactions, from one o
which he got the name of "Hay-fork'
Pritchard, and, according to his pub.
lished record has been arrested and
jailed several times. His affair with
Miss Bellah was shown up at the time
in the HERALD.

FROM all accounts there will be LAM
entable failure OF crops this year in the
San Joaquin valley. 1t is too late for
the rains to do any material good even
should they come in liberal measure.
In fact, the crop average all over the
state will be small. This disagree
able dispensation is emphasized by
the circumstance that in exter .,ca
districts OF Northern and ,,ent,al Cali.

a fourth ei crop OF prunes, cherries,

SENATOR STEWART correctly described
the special message which the presi-
dent is about to send in to congress on
the silver question, recommending an
international monetary convention, to
be held some time time next spring, as
an electioneering dodge. The admins

enough Morgan to tide them over the
presidential struggle. 1t is not SO easy
to fool the people on this question as
politicians may suppose. 1t has taken

says that at present the stage of water

was at this season OF the year before the

view to ascertaining whether it will not
be practicable to put gateway at the
point where the overflow occurred, so as
to admit OF turning the water into the

PART MAN, PART RABBIT.

A Piece oil Bone successfully Grated Into
= Cniirornian's Arm.
Bone grating is a new thing. and the
surgical world is slowly and cautiously feel
ing it's way toward pronounced opin-
ions about its propriety und safety as .
remedial measure. The first operation OF
the kind made in San Francisco was per
formed recently upon a lumberman named
Smith, and it gives such promise o. success
as to encourage both the operator n the
subject. smith was rolling logs IN a saw
mill on Kings river, whom a big spruce log
became loosened and fell upon MIN, preak-
ing his right arm az a point three ihehes
below the shoulder joint.
1rhe fracture was dressed, but in a few
DAYS Smith rebroke the partially joined
hone. and acting on advice went to San
Francisco and submitted himself to a
tation for surgical skill. says the San Fran
cisco Examiner. After due study the
Professor decided that in bone grating
rested Smiths only chance for useful
arm.
The process OF making such q graft is
rabbit is taken and thoroughly washed in
SOAP and water. The beast is then satnr-
ated as to the hair. with a solution OF cor
rosiye sublimete in water to destroy any
poisonous germ which might have re-
manned in the coat.
The rabbit being perfectly "aseptic," as
il is called, is killed by u blow on the neck,
and the surgeon lays bare with a scalpsl
the long bone of the hind leg. The bone is
cut from its place with pliers and thrown
into a vessel full of the corrosive sub
Innate. and all 10 then ready for the actual
grating. The patient ID given ether until
unconscious, and in such a case as that OF
Smith the arm is freely incised over the
srot at which the break occurred. When
the bone is fully exposed the ends of the
fragments are we'll soraped, or if necessary
bits are cut away 80 that the ends shall pre-
sent clean, new surfaces.
When the scraping is finished the wound
is thoroughly washed with an antiseptic
solution, the washing extending TO every
pnrt and being continued until it is certain
that no particle of unsound flesh or bone
remains. Then the rabbit bone is quickly
pounded up in a mortar into fragments.
which are thoroughly washed with the mer-
curial solution, and with the fragments of
rabbit bone the space between the ends of
the broken bone in the arm of the patient
is packed. A final douche of antiseptio
fluid is given and the wound Is closed and
left under light dressings, the arm being
fastened to a splint.
If all goes we'll there is little or no infiam-
nation. Evidences of healing are at once
shown. The rabbit bone is partly absorbed
and from the human bone are thrown out
processes which enter the bone material
stolen from the rabbit. Blood vessels are 3,
formed in the new material, in time a
new and sound bone replaces that which
was fractured and the man is restored to
health and ability to make a living by man
ual labor.

Kalispell is a young and growing CITY
of over 1000 inhabitants in which the
first building was erected in May, 1891.
1t is the geographical ENTER of the Flat.
head valley, and divisional point on the
main line of the Pacific extension of the
Great Northern railroad. Several miles
of side track. a round hous Q, coal yards,
and a freight depot have already been
bui t, and a handsome two story brick
and stone passenger depot, which when
completed, will be the finest on the line
OF this road west of st. Paul, is now
under construction. Steamers plying
on tie waters of Flathead lake and river
rta h the head of navigation at Kalis-
ell, thus affording transportation facil-
tiles 10 the Northern Pacific railroad.
The construction of a new railroad has
been commenced from the mining CEN
ters OF the state to tie immense coal
fields in the northern part of the Flat
head valley, which pa 5sing through Kal-
ispell, will give her che ap and direct
communication with Butte, Helena and
all POINTS south, and u a ready mar
ket for products of the valley, all of
which, from her geographical location,
will necessarily center at Ka!ispell;
while the natural grades from the m mes
and coal fields of the surrounding coun-
try, the cheap and unlimited supply Of
fuel, together with the great water
power at her very doors, will make Kali
ispell the smelling center of this portion
OF the state. 1t is already the supply
point for the army Of miners aud DOS
pectors operating in the North and
South forks and the Kootenai min
ing regions, and with her three
strong national banks, she can have no
rival as the financial center OF the whole
Flathead region.
According TO published statistics, 20
city OF her size in the United States can
boast Of SO fine a system of wat r works
and electric light. The system com
priscs seven miles Of pire, hydrants at
every street intersection, and pumps
with a capacity equal TO those of the
Butte system The total cost of the
plant is upwards of Sl25,0C0.
A brick brewery has Just been com
pleted with a capacity OF 1000 barrels
per month, having the latest improved
machinery. and operated by men of long
standing and successful experience in
their line. Numerous substantial brick
business blocks have been constructed
within the past season, and many fine
residences are now going up through
out the town.
Liberal inducements will be offered
to manufactures.

would find kalispell a most promising
