CONGRESSMAN HARTMAN, the little
forensic giant, writes us his congrat-
ulations and promises to speak at
Neihart in the coming campaign.
He is a splendid speaker, a t%ireless
worker and true to the principles of
silver and protection. We shall be
greatly pleased to have him speak to
Neihart citizens. The following is
his letter:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WAsHINGTON, ID. G.
f. X. ABBOTT, Esq,
NEIHART, Montana.
DEAR SIR: | have received your favor
of July 27th, and note its contents. |
am glad that you are getting matters
into good shape in Meagher county.
Certainly after the eighteen months of
disastrous experience that we have al
ready undergone of democracy, single
gold standard aud free trade, it is time
that we call Il halt, and put an end to
the application of democratic principles
whether they be made under the name
of democracy or under the name of pop
ulism. Everybody knows, that knows
anything about it, that the populist
party is simply a creation of the demo-
cratic party, and that the populist party
was a unit in this congress to destroy the
tariff on lead and wool. I'M glad that
they have declared for free and unlimited
coinage at 1G to 1, rs it is the only
plank in their platform that is worthy of
any consideration at all, but they have
nullified that by their foolish d~eclara-
tons, which, when properly construed
mean unlimited issue Of paper currency,
and if that idea should prevail in this
government, it would eliminate both
gold and silver as money. Their foolish
vagarics are SO ridiculous as not to merit
the consideration of any sensible man.
In view Of the fact that they are simply
a democratic sideshow, there is little
doubt in my mind that the COMMON
sense of the people of Montana will re-
pudiate both of them. 1t does not seem
to me possible that after the unfortunate
experience that | ! have referred to, that
the people of Montana will consent to
cast their votes in favor of silver and
free trade, as opposed to silver and pro-
lection. | hope to meet you and the
people of Meagher county during the
coming campaign, and talk over the
situation. With best wishes for the sue
cess of your club, am,
Very truly yours,
CHAs. HARTMAN.

The republican county committees of
the several counties in the state will pro-
coed to call county conventions as usual
and elect delegates and alternate dele
gates to said state convention us above

The basis of representation and appor-
tionment for the county conventions will
be fixed by the county central commit
tees.
In the matter of nominating candi-
dates Of the several judicial districts,
should there be any nominations to be
made at this time, the committee recon-
mends that in all cases where the dist
riot is limited to one county, the regular
county convention make the nomination
ut the same time it dominates candidates
for all other county offices. In other
cases where the district is composed of
more than one county, let the delegates
to the state convention from the coun,
ties comprising u district meet at the
time and place of the state convention
and there agree upon and make the
nominations for same. being guided by
such instructions, if any, as nave been
given by their respective county on
vcntions. The same rule to apply in the
case of joint representatives in the state
legislature.
The following rules have been adopted
for the government of republican state
conventions in Montana and are now in
force:
''First- Delegates and alternate dele
gates shall be elected in future to state
conventions, and in the event of II fail
IRE of Il delegate to attend, the alternate
delegate shall cast the V otc of the dele
gate whose alternate he is.
Sccond-In the absence of the dele
gate and his alternate, a majority of the
delegation from that county shall cast
the vote of the absentee.
Third-In the absence of all the dele
gates and alternate delegates from any
county, no vote shall be cast for such
county.
Fourth-In the county in which the
state convention shall be held, when any

A WRECK.
The Dastardly Work of Some I'm
known Cowards--Supposed to be
Strikers OF Other Enemys of the
Chicago & Rock Island Road.

A fearful wreck, involving the loss
of twenty-four or more lives occurred
on the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific railroad, where it crosses on "A
nigh trestle the tracks of the Union
Pacific and Burlington & Missouri
River, at 10 o'clock last Monday
night. The Fort Worth accomoda-
ton is due to leave Lincoln at 9:4l
P. m. 1t was about 10 minutes late
and making up time and when it
struck the trestle crossing, the rails
spread, and the engine, drawing two
cars after it, went humping along
over the cross ties about fifty feet,
and then with a crash, fell forty
feet to the bed of the creek below.
The engine burst and the glowing
Goals spreading ignited the wooden
supports and the coaches behind.
In a few moments the bridge, dry as
thinder from long exposure to the
sun, was one mass of flames. The
Goals falling upon the coaches set
them on fire. The flames mounted
high covering the entire southern
sky a brilliant carmine, while the
moon beams fell upon a glowing
mass below from which moral shrieks
of agony were heard to issue. Will
ling hands were there to help, but
little could be done. The engine
had fallen first, then the combination
smoker and express coach fell par
TALLY upon the engine, and the rear
coach following had %telescoped that
car, pinioning the un%fortunates in
the smoker so it was impossible to
save them or for them to escape.
The number killed and injured
supposed to reach up in the neigh
borhood of between twenty-five and
thirty.
The ~dastardly, and most cowardly
deed is supposed to be the work of
strikers or some enemys of the road,
supposed to be living somewhere
down in Oklahoma. The company
offers a reward of 81 900 for the
arrest Of the guilty parties.

AFRICA.
Scheme of a Woman Explorer to Col
onize the Dark Continent.

Mrs. M. French Sheldon, the one
woman who has made a succe of
African exploration, arrived from
Liverpool last Monday on the steam
ship Aurania. She is to lecture on
African subjects, and attempt to
arouse interest for her scheme for
the colonization of a large tract of
territory in East Africa. In her
journey she was struck by the many
natural II of Gushaland, a
territory running along the Juba
river. The country is rich in spices,
gum, dyewoods, timber and similar
vegetation, aud is suitable as we'll
for the production of coffee, sugar.
cotton and the like. The climate is
healthful and is, according to Mrs.
Sheldon, similar to that of Florida.
The idea of colonizing the country is
something new in it's way. 1t is to
be non-sectarian and the form of
government will be simple-each
settler will work for himself. Mrs.
Sheldon expects that the first expe-
dition to the new country will be
ready in about eighteen months.
Great care will be taken in the selec-
ton of those who will undertake the
venture.

The japanese army has been
brought up to a very high standard
of efficiency, modelled very much
after the tactics in vogue in Ger
many, and if the former government
sought the assistance of foreign
troops, which is not regarded as
probable, it is likely that efforts will
be made to obtain them from Ger

WHOSE HAIR IS SINGED NOW
The State of Illinois is After the
Pullman Company.

The attorney general of Illinois
has filed a petition asking that the
charter of the Pullman Palace Car
company be declared void. The pc
tition sets forth that their charter al
lows the company to purchase, con-
troll and convey such property as is
necessary to prosecute their business.
The corporation has far exceeded it's
privileges, the document declares.
1t also declares that the company has
usurped the powers of a municipali-
ty, owning lei business
blocks, residences, factory sites, and
controlling stock in other corpora
tons that furnish power to manufac-
turers.
