When the soldiers and marshals were
called upon to arrest these men for steal
ing train, they had quite squabble, the
Hogan's army took the guns away from
the soldiers sand marshals and broke
them across tho railroad track. Hogan S
| army was then searched but no weapons
could be found excepting three "old
fashioned" navy revolvers that had been
in the last war. They were then taken to
Helena by the soldiers. After being re.
leased they went to Benton and built boats
aud started down the river.
In 1890 school law was passed by the
legislature, calling the school election in
June, for the express purpose of taking it
out of politics. About two months ago Mrs.
Baardson became candidate for super
intendent of schools, then everything pro-
ceeded quietly until Decoration Day, and
finding there was no candidate put up by
the opposition, and seeing that she
was satisfactory to all, it was thought that
it would never do to run Mrs. Baardson
alcne, as there wo1ld be no chance for Wal
lin to slip III. Then with the
assistance of Mrs. Weller Miss Ada Musson
was induced to becomea candidate, who
had encouraged and supported Mrs.
Baardson up to that time. AS far as the
LEADER is concerned with Mrs. Jessie
Baardson and Miss Ada Musson, they are
we'll qualified for the place. They are
both old and experienced teachers and
have been teaching for the last ten years
in this county and i;ili5v. Nothing can
be said against the qualification of either,
both stand head and shoulders above the
present incumbent in education and in
all other respects. The object of having
the two above ladies to get in personal
fight was to disgust the people, and at the
last moment for Wallin to slip III rs u
compromised candidate. All the LEADER
has got to say, is that it dares the gang to
bring out l.. NJ. Walin, as has been cal
culated, after the LEADER has been out
Friday evening. We will say to L. NJ.
Wallin and his two or three vouchers, that
i'll case he makes the attempt the LEADER
will appear on Tuesday morning before
the people.

Stories Of Napoleon.


During Napoleon's reign as first consul
certain woman, known as Nine. de Balbi'
was banished from France. She went over
to England, and the incident soon passed
out of the mind of the first consul, who
soon became emperor. But at st. Helena
some one mentioned her name, and Napo-
leon at once recalled the circumstances at
tendant on her banishment. He became
interested and asked Las Casas: "Was she
not dangerous woman?" q
"Not at ALL was the answer. She was
one of the best t-hearted womea in the world,
full of wit and judgment, and not at al
bitter in her ideas about you even after you
had sent her away from Paris"
"She had good cause to complain of me,
then," responded Napoleon. 'there is tho
great disadvantage of being com PEELED to
depend Or the reports OF subordinates."
81 had occasion to meet her in one of my
missions to England" rejoined Las Casas.
.'She manifested not the slightest resent
ment, but was just little curious to know
how she became to be regarded figure in
politics. She was entirely devoted to soci-
ETY., snd it was great sadness to her to
have to leave Paris.''
'You should have set mo right ill the
matter" said Napoleon, with a touch of
bitterness in his tone. "You must have
known that had no desire to do injustice
to any one, and least of all to woman.'
sAh!" exclaimed Las Casas, 81 did not
know you so we'll then rs do now.'
Then he continued, rehectively: Il heard
a story about her once which indicates her
feeling in French politics. AS a royalist
had Just come from Paris to London, and
a dinner was given to him by the emigres.

France. Tie man was bitter enemy of

woman.
'.Well," said tho emperor. cit can't be

Working His Passage.

Jay Gould once told a story about
an Irishman. 1t was when there were
pacllc,-boats on the Eric canal. The

worked faithfully for two days, doing
a great deal of thinising. On the third
day he thought it out ''By the pow
