MONTANA'S CAPITAL.

The American election has won a rep- utation for being thing of money and fierce struggle for supremacy regardless of principles, but the ordinary election in the United States must take rear seat in the gallery of sensations while the late experience of one of the new states is given especial consideration. The battle royal was between the towns of Helena and Anaconda in the very new state of Montana, to determine which should be the capital of the state. It is spoken of by press correspondents as the most corrupt contest that ever occurred in this country. All the story is interesting and as it will become large part of the history of Montana not to be printed in bound volumes. it finds room in the newspapers. There is no way of arriving at the cost of the con- test to both or either side, but it is con- sidered sure that Marcus Daly of Ana conda paid out about $1,OOO,OOO. The amount is not considered incredible by those who know the man and who saw the election in any part of the state. It is conceded by all on the outside that the choice of Helena for the capital se- cured to the state the most convenient and commercially central town. Ana conda is pretty village, with many special attractions, and is controlled by the great mining company which bears the same name and of which Marcus Daly IS president.
 The contest really began two years ago, when the fret legislature submit ted the question of capital to the peo- pie, with the provision that any city might be voted for, and that subse- quent choice should be made between the two cities having the highest vote

THE NEW YORK Herald opens with 3 thousand dollars popular subscription to raise funds for the production of antitoxine, the new remedy for the cure and prevention of diphtheria, in this country. The greatest obstacle to the use of the remedy at present IS it's great cost, which puts it out of reach of all but the rich. The physicians gen. erallv agree as to it's curative qualities, though there are doubters, but it Is well to have some conservatism to pre- vent too rapid progress until absolute certainty is assured. If the serum can be produced in such manner that it can be used in general practice it may do a wonderful amount of good to the human family, since diphtheria is more to be dreaded than almost any other disease,

THE PROMOTERS of the resuscitated Panama canal enterprise announced that they have money enough at hand to enable them to continue work on on the big is5hmian ditch for year to come. but according to all accounts it will take fully that length of time to put the canal into the shape in which it was when work was abandoned upon It. The machinery is said to be in bad condition, and the rains and vegetation have made it necessary to do 6 second time much of what has already been accomplished,

That was how Helena and Anaconda come in close battle. In this struggle money was not only used to buy votes, but for every other purpose of bribery, according to report. The rich men of Helena had determined not to be beat en by the Anaconda millionaire, and one cores pondent thus describes part of what happened: "Both sides maIn- tained expensive literary bureaus, had all the campaign speakers to talk about capital location, hired minstrel com panies and special trains for them to travel about the state and give free performances, put humorlsts on the stump to ridicule each other, had glee clubs to sing their virtues, bands to blow for rival towns, and men travelling about openly buying votes. It is asserted and not denied that the Anaconda company put $1, 100000 into this campaign, and in the two campaigns spent $1,- 500, 1000, and that Helena and rivals of the Anaconda company put up half as much more. Newspapers openly ad- vised their readers to accept the money 1 of Etheir opponents and then vote against them. The traffic in votes on election day was open and above board. Nobody tried to conceal the influences at work, and thousands of votes went | to the polls with the price fixed, and i refused to vote until the price was paid. These prices ranged iron $2O to $1OO."
 The same writer claims that two mil lions of dollars were expended upon less than 25,000 voters, the total vote | for the state for president in 1892 being only 5000, and all that was needed in this case was plurality.
 While there IS some satisfaction in having the hoard of millionaires dis tributed among the people, the meth cd
 is utterly bad, and is not reassuring
 for the purity of the ballot in future elections to be held in Montana.

 A Talk !, ON Feet

It may seem strange
 that we should take so
 lowly a subject as feet,
 but if you consider the enormous size and num- ' of human feet it will % be seen that the sub- {. 2 ject makes up in breadth ! for any lack in height. , z The feet are very 1 healthy subjects for 2 a lecture. A talk on feet , 2 naturally leads up to the { { corn crop, which is very | large. Feet are very
 delicate things and you
 can't be too careful how
 you fit and cover them.
 It's common express
 sion, when man is in
 trouble, to hear it said
 that 'he has put his foot

FIRE IN THE SMITH BUILDING.

II Originated I'm the Second Story and
Elliott, johnson a Co.'S Omoes Were
Flooded.
In March, 1892, the Smith Building on
the east side Of Market street. between
Sixth and Seventh streets, was Quilted
by FIRE and flooded by water. A repeti.
tlon of this was imminent at an early
hour this morning, but thanks to the
promptness of the fire department in
responding to the alarm and the efficient
work done by the fremen, the effects
were not so disastrous as they would
otherwise have been.
The FIRE originated In a room on the
north side OF the second floor This room
was, until three OF four weeks ago. occu.
pied by an agent Of the Hodgson Commits.
sion Company, brokers. who, is alleged.
ran a bucket shop" there, but with
such poor success that its agent. T. k.
Campbell, who had rented the apartment
until January 25, closed it up in disgust,
leaving the furnishings and everything In
It.
The FIRE was discovered at o'clock by
a small boy, who saw the flames through
the windows Of Elliott, johnson & Co.
He ran to the police station and in
formed Officer Marr, who ran imme.
dlstely TO tbe.buildlng and fouudlthat the
boys statement was correct. Then
Charles Thomas sent in the alarm from
Box II. Officer MARI and Operator Kane
broke In the door and ran upstairs where
they located the fire In the room referred
TO.
Mari, Kane and Thomas are members
of the Water Witch Fire Company. and
they are in high glee because of their
quick work. officer Marr discovered the
fire Of 1892.
Some of the frst persons who assembled
the stairway say that they imagined
they smelled kerosene, but there Is no
positive proof that oil was used or that
the FIRE was incendiary in it's character
A section Of floor about five feet long,
between two rafters, was burned and the
FIRE ran up the wall some distance. The
two streams OF watsr put on washed
cinders and plaster through TO Elliott.
Johnson q Co 3 Office and flooded IL. with
a loss Of probably 5000 A staff Of
negroes made the office presentabe at
10 o'clock. The loss to the building will
not exceed $3.50, and insurance covers
both losses.
10 Is not known whether or not the
Hodgson Commission Company Is in
sured, but its loss is nominal, the Brus-
sells carpet and some of the furniture
being damaged by fire and water.

This question is going the rounds
among the members of the Shields
Library Association to-day. The other
ERE was blamed on the members Of the
association, and now as one occurred In
identically the same manner, the
question has arisen. The idea Of incen.
diarism, however, seems to be general.
Somebody. 1t is firmly believed, struck
