The Local Lodge A. O. U. w. and
Ladies Do the Banquet Act After
the Installation Ceremony is
Ended.

Belt Mountain Lodge A.. 0. U. w. at
tended to its installation service last
Wednesday night at a special meeting.
The occasion was that of the visit of G..
M. w. Hammond of Butte and G. Re-
celver Sullivan of Helena. Besides at
tending to the usual installation service
there were twenty-three candidates init
ated into all but the bumper degree.
The lodge room was crowded and every
member felt in the best of spirits owing
to this first visit of grand officers to Belt
Mountain Lodge. The grand master
workman, DR.. Hammond is up to snuff
in his business and knows how to ex-
pedite matters when there is much work
to do. He praised our lodge very highly
and found abundant reason to rejoice
over the wholesome zeal manifested by
members. The officers newly installed
were named in the HERALD one week
ago.
After congratulations had been passed
among the new members, the brothers
gathered up their ladies and focked to
the Frisco hotel where supper was served.
If the queen herself had been there she
could have found no fault with the sup
erb spread or the service provided by
Mr.. ROehl.
TOasts were called and the following

TO NEIHART.
The Great Silver Camp--Close of the
Press Meeting With Banquet at
Park Hotel.

Saturday morning found us again
with the press gang and a lot of the
leading citizens of Great Falls, about
two hundred in number, iourneying to-
wards Neihart, the greatest silver min
ing camp on earth. The Montana Cen
trail railroad company had kindly placed
a special train at the disposal of the
press people and a gala day was prom
ised.
AT Neihart the people were out en-
masse and received us with open arms.
An address of welcome was made on the
platform of the depot and the brass
band led the way through town to the
Frisco hotel where the excursionists were
treated to a sumptuous repast. Neihart
never does anything by halves. Her
people here circulated among the visit
ors continually making them welcome.
After dinner the excursiOnists scattered
through the town everywhere gaining
knowledge of the great silver mining
camp. Many were surprised at the de-
velopment at the height of the noun
tains and the large mining plants clust-
ering about the mountains far above the
town. The time was when we wonld
have been glad to have sprung to the
lead of the quill pushers and welcomed
them to Neihart, the mining field which
we have since 1880 been laboring to de-
velop; then We were the sole press re-
preventative in Meagher county, but
since Neihart has an able corpse of edi-
tors and good newspapers, our modesty
forbid our taking the initiative and we
left it for E. X. Abbott of the NEIHART
HERALD, and Alex Wright, of the Mel
hart Miner to do the honors and they
succeeded admirably while we although
we felt as much at home as they, posed
as a guest. Neihart has always been
noted for its hospitality and more than
surpassed herself on this occasion and
gave the gang a splendid impression of
the town, its people and its resources

TO fROI ECT THE PRESIDENT.
P%reeau,iOn in Case an Attempt should
lie Made to Assassinate Mr.. Cleve-
land-His Body Guard.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 81
A muscular man, in top boots, and
anything but a pleasure-seeking
air about him, stood on the curb
stone under the shade of a Lafay-
cite Park elm this afternoon. He
held by the bride a horse that had
a few points Of the thoroughbred
about him, but looked serviceable
under Il heavy cavalry saddle. The
man seemed to have nothing to do
but to wait. When the White House
carriage drove around this myster'
ious person suddenly developed
a~lertness. He frightened his saddle
strap and looked up and down the
avenue. In a few minutes Presi-
dent Cleveland came out of the
White House and got into the car
riage. The man under the elm i'm

his horse along the avenue until the
Presidents carriage had passed out
of the White House Grounds and
turned into Jackson Place. Then the
stranger started into a trot and toll
lowed, keeping, however, a distance
Of 800 yards between the Presidents
carriage and himself.
This is the precaution which has
been adopted since the assassination
of Carnot. The man who rides be-
hind the President at q distance to
avoid attracting attention is a heav-
lily armed detective, quick with his
weapons and a fine horseman. AL
though he follows at a distance, he
can place himself beside the carriage
in a very few seconds, and is ex-
peeted to do so if any one leaves the
sidewalk 10 approach the President,
or if anything that can be construed
as Il hostile demonstration takes
place.

Blind Bo0ne's Fine Watch.
From the Centrslia Courier.

AAtAA AA' NEt oaEA& NShAANA
Friday morning blind Boone, the
worldwide famous negro musician,
was in town and during a converse
ton with the Courier mar exhibited
a marvellous gold watch. 1t is so
constructed that it tells the time of
day, the day Of the week, the month
and the year. You touch 4 spring
and it strikes the time of day. An
other spring is touched and it tells
the day of the week and month.
And still another spring causes it to
give the name of the month and year.
This wonderful piece of mechanism
cost blind Boone $1,000. The mu-
stefan says it is of great comfort to
him and he does not begrudge the
money it cost.

several hours. Saturday night the

with a lot OF armed men on it that
called themselves Deputy United

George Reitz, a news dealer OF Pond

FIGHT BETWEEN THE RAILROAD
MANAGERS AND THE AMERI-
CAN RAILWAY UNION.
The boycott ON Pullman Was Only the
beginning OF a Greater War-A
General Help Ordered.

ST.. LOUIS, No., June 30.-fhe
Pullman boycott has developed into
a general strike on all railways haul
ing Pullman cars, and from a fight
between the Pullman Company and
its employees to a war to the death
between the Railway General Man
ayers Association and the American
Railway Union.
Up to last night 20 of the great
railway systems of the country most
OF them centering in Chicago, had
been affected, and there were nearly
Is, 900 railway employees out on the
strike.
The roads on which the hottest
fight has thus far been made are the
Illinois Central, Santa Fe, Northern
Pacific and Southern Pacific.
Trains of perishable freight are
standing ON side tracks in various
parts of the country spelling the loss
on which will be hundreds of thous'
ands of dollars.
The greatest trouble on the Hi
nois Central is at Cairo, where fast
mail trains are held. Complaint has
been made to Governor Altgeld, and
he has sent officers To investigate and
| has placed the militia of the State
under arms.
The Santa Fe applied to Judge
Philips at KansasCity and he issued
an order restraining the employees
from interfering with trains and
practically enjoining them from go
ing on a strike.
Attorney General Olney has taker
up the matter of the strike and is
sued orders that United Safes Mar.

The burning question is, can Or
gapized labor run things in this
country and paralyze business. In
the present trouble it is the public
that is interested and must bear the
brunt. When the present strike is
ended, how long will it be before
another of a similar character is in
augurated to stir up strife through
out the country? Business com.
munities would like to know when
and where this thing is going 10
stop. So long as it continues pros
perity cannot be hoped for. There
should be some way to deal with
the labor question to the end that
the nation at large would not be
stirred up in continual strife. Labor
organizations are all right and prop
er for certain things, but they should
be condemned in severe terms for
precipitating a national calamity
like the present one.
