New York, October 12.-The state cam

has done since the ventions were
held, and it begins to look as II there
were going to be more interest. taken IN
the outcome than was expected. both
parties have opened headquarters and are
making active plans for infusing LIE
into things political. Further interest IS
added to the situation by the announce
ment that Senator Hill is coming up
from Washington in few days to direct
the fight Of the machine In trying to elect
Maynard. The scathing rebuke admin
istered to the Croker-H wing OF the
party in forcing the disgraced iurist upon
the voters of the state by the Bar Asso-
citation permits of no speculation as to
the attitude of the lawyers OF the state
toward his candidacy for the Court OF
Appeals. The legal profession, almost to
a man, will unite with any party or FAC :
ton to bring about his defeat, and for
the first time in eleven years it looks as if
there would be an actual contest for the
state offices, instead of walkover for
the Hiil-Croker com bine.
The opening of the campaign was
characterized by an assumption OF confl-
dence on both sides. The Republicans
claim that the lawyers throughout the
state will support BARTLETT, but the
machine managers contend that. those
mem bers of the Bar Association who will
not vote for Maynard will not vote at all.

10 the fact that in the most popular novel
ever written, Robinson Crusoe," there
IL not a petticoat. In Robert Louis
Stevenson's books there is scarcely the
rustic of a skirt, and in all his books
women are subordinated to the mutual
interest of man and man. The same
ming Is true, too, only i'll a less de-
pee, in the stories of Conan Doyle. Nor
does J. NJ. Barrie give them their accus-
toned place. Plainly women are goin,
ont. On the stage there are the same In
aacations of woinan's waning power to
interest by virtue of her sex. In Men
and Women the serious interest of the
play lay exclusively with the men. In
the Lost Paradise" women were scarce
" more important. In Lady Winder-
mere's Fam" despite the title, the men
had the best of it. In 'Colonel Carter

4 STRONG INSTITUTION.

To those who are interested in the
financial condition Of the c~ountry-as is
most every person at this time-an ex-
animation of the financial statement of
the First National bank of this city,
published in this issue. will be convinc-
ing that in this section of the country
ut least. the financial tornado of two
months ago did not prove wholly over
whelming. When it is considered that
these statements are called for by the
Comptroller at irregular times, and that
there is no possibility of preparing for
them, it must be admitted that the
showing made by the First National
Bank of Miles City, of its condition on
October 3rd, is most c%reditable. A com.
parison Of this statement with the one
made in July last. when the financial
gale had just struck this part Of the
country, Is very interesting, showing
that while our bank was at that time
presumably trimmed for the gale. it has,
in nautical parlance, shortened sail and
trimmed ship very considerably while
riding out the storm. Thus. for in.
stance, loans and discounts have been
reduced since las July. SOM s6s. 900.
while the cash available for immediate
use hasrisen from $4,000 to $4,000. or
nearly doubled. At the time of the last
statement there was but a scant $1,000
in hand above the reserve fund required
by law. Now there is 1000: over 20
per cent in excess of the legal reserve.
While it was to be expected that de-
posits would run down. owing to the
very general withdrawal by timorous
depositors. the shrinkage is scarcely per.
ceptible. being but s15.o0O-a falling off
from $4,000 in July to s261 900 in
October.
This difference. we learn, was consid-
erably larger a few weeks ago. but of
late confidence seems to have been en-
tirely restored. and new accounts and an
increase of deposits are of daily occur-
renee with Miles City's only bank.
While it may fairly be assured that all Of
banks that were able to weather the
storm are possessed of recuperative pow.
ers that will enable them to rapidly re.
cover from the strain. it is nevertheless a
matter for special congratulation among
ourselves that the First National of
Miles City has proven SO worthy of the
confidence that was reposed in it by the
people of this county. The financial
strength and commercial standing Of the
directors of the First National bank.
both individually and collectively. was
undoubtedly the great buIwark of de-
Tense and protection in the troubulous
times of last July. Without the conf
dence that these men could inspire by
personally guaranteeing the claims of
depositors. the shave would
been much closer. and there might
even have been a temporary closing. but
all trouble is over now and the
skies are fair.

work with knife, in the rear of the
store. Thomas Nally, WHO is teamster
for Mr.. White, the junk dealer on the

the spot where Conley was at work.
Conley pushed the wagon back. Then
Nally again pushed it, and jumping for
ward struck at Conley, SO Mr.. Carter
says, who was an eye witness to the af-
fair. Conley Immediately, MI. Carter
states, threw up his hand. as man will
to ward off blow, and that hand held
the open knife with which he was work
ing. The blade struck Nally in the side,
making wound which DR.. Baker probed
and found the steel had penetrated the
walls of the bowels. Consequently how
serious the wound may prove it will re-
main for time to show. Conley was not
arrested, as he had no intention of injur-
ing the man when the blow was inflicted.
