The Railway Review lets some
light upon the workingman's para
disc at Anaconda. 1t says:
"Anaconda is far from being the
workingman's paradise. For in
stance: The city has an ordinance
which calls for all workingmen to
receive 50 per day. Well, there
are never six men engaged by the
city working in any month. So that
50 per day is but a misnomer. 1t
don't cost anything. Take it over to
the roncentrator, where you are told
that jig men receive s2.75. Well, to
receive that the night man has to
work thirteen hours, while in any
other position they only work ten.
This is at the rate of s2.11 for ten
hours work. Now, there has to
come out of his pay at the end of the
month hospital fees, a subscription or
two, besides his capital assessment,
his bill at the company store and his
board bill. We venture to. say that
the average workingman that is now
working at the smelter has not
enough left after all these deductions
are made to allow him to 90 on a
good singh lonesome"

Afidavits in campaign times furnish
pretty rich reading matter, especially
when they emanate from men whom ev-
erybody knows to be worthy citizens and
whose words are accepted as truth. G.
L. Fisk, an influential working man of
this town, makes a statement to the
Great Falls Leader which is worth publ
cation in this camp as most of our peo-
pie have known the deponent for years.
Read his words;

FRIENDS have called our attention
to the discrepancy in Snow creek pre-
cinct of the appointment of three re-
publlcans as Judges of election
However, n of the appointees, Dan
lei Lenny, will not serve as he in
tends to vote at Nethart. This will
leave a vacancy which the well min
ded in that precinct may take advan-
tage of. The laws does not require
that all parties have a representative
upon the board, as in some elections
there are more parties than the num-
Der of Judges will permit. Mr.. Len
ny is no longer a resident of that pre-
cinct as he has removed to Neihart.

Could the capital of Pennsylvania
be located at Homestead? No.
Can the capital of Montana be To-
Gated at Anaconda? MOL!
Any other answer would be an in

just as high minded and as indepen-
dent as the people of Illinois or Pen

DO you know that Mayor Weed of
Helena will be here Monday night?

The peculiar merits of Chas. w.
Hill for the Office of Clerk and recor-
der are matters of universal acknol-
edgement. His four years of service
in that office, two years as a deputy,
and two as head over the machine,
have resulted in winning to him
self a host of friends and as we'll
as placing the affairs of his office
in the best possible shape. Mr..
Hill is prompt and courteous in
his correspondence IS every voter
will admit. He is gentlemanly and
obliging in the extreme, and we
cannot believe the voters will at
tempt a change in this important
Office.

week seeing the boys in reference to
his candidacy for the treasurer
ships. MIR. Sherman has been con-
nected with the politics of this coun-

taken an active part in the affairs of

a selfish n for he never yet ran for

His election isone of the things his
friends are betting any amount

TRIALS OF A MAYOR.
JACK ARRESTED FOR MALFEAS-
ANCE IN OFFICE.
He Dlsagrees With the City Council
and Comes Off Second
Best.

Spring Valley, Ill, Aug. 1.-Mayor
l.. B. Jack, of this city, was arrested
yesterday morning. He is charged
with malfeasance in office. Some time
ago Mayor Jack attempted to remove
the police force and made new appoint
ments but the council refused to con
firm them, and the old force remained
on duty. The mayor then told the new
appointees to act and he would see.
that they received their pay. At the
next meeting the council refused to.
allow any pay to the new APP
pOinteeS but paid the old force.
At every subsequent meeting of the
council the mayors police presented
bills, but none Of them were ever al
lowed. At recent meeting Of the
council Il committee was appointed to
examine the city treaSurer'S books and
to their surprise they discovered war
rants issued upon the treasury to the
nOn-confrmed police without the cOun-
cil's consent or knowledge. These war
rants Were signed by the mayor and
aggregate between 800 and $500. A
special meeting of the council was
called and the mayor forced to put the
motion ordering his own arrest for NAL
feasance in office.

MADGE'S AMBITION.
Plaintiff in the Notorious Breckenridge
Suit to Go on the Stage.

New York, Aug. 6.-Madeline Pollard
has changed her mind and wants to
go on the stage. When she won her
breach Of promise suit against Con-
gresham Breckenridge she declined
several offers from theatrical man
ayers, saying: mo, | shall Lever go
on the stage. Such career is not for
me. Only pretty women are welcomed
behind the fOOtHghts." There was Il
touch of resignation in Miss POllard's
admission Of plainness, which brought
out a great deal of cOmmen in the
papers at the time. She has improved
in looks since. apparently. or else she
is distressed by the hard times. for
there is 20 doubt of her determination
to go on the stage. The manager Of
one of the leading theaterS received
4 letter from Miss Pollard yesterday
in which she announced that she is
willing to go on the stage upon terms
to be agreed uEOn later. She is i'll
New York to make preparations for
her debut, she says, but the manager
declares he does not want her now.
It is probable that she will secure an
other manager.

HARMONY SEEMS TO PREVAIL.
House Conferees Express Surprise at
the Call for a Caucus.

Washington, Aug. when the DEM
ocrauc tariff conference adjourned yes
terday there seemed to be better feel
ing among the conferees than at the
close of the previous sessions. The
members of both houses announced
that progress was being made, but
they did not indicate when the report
would be reached, though some of the
conferees expressed the opinion that
an agreement was in sight.
Considerable surprise was expressed
by the conferees when they learned
that a call for a house caucus was is
sued and it was evidently very dis
tasteful to the house members who had
felt they were beginning to see an
agreement. Mr.. Montgomery said the
caucus would make no difference so far
as he was concerned and he would con-
tinue the work he was engaged in I'M
less some action, very different from
that which he anticipated, would be
taken by the caucus.

These are the points which the de-

for the diocese of Columbus, but, as
he asked the bishop to give the letter
to the press and to have it sent over
the country, he evidently WISHED it to
be wider in its moral effect than the
mere diocese whose legislation it at
tirmed on the point in question.
Bishop Watterson was greatly re-
joiced at the decision. He has long
been an earliest worker in the cause
OF temperance and total abstinence,
but is by no means the fanatic that
d few have represented him to be. He
is regarded by workers in the cause
as oyercautious. He never breaches
on the subject without guarding him
self carefully with the principles APP
proved by the church. He is fearless
in advocating sound principles, but al
ways with due regard to charity
and the peculiarities of times and cir
cumstances, well content to let the
logical consequences of sound princi-
pies maintained in this spirit take care
of themselves. Mgr. SatolIi, however,
has decided that his enactments in
this matter ARE in harmony with the
laws of the church and also oppor-
tune and necessary for the honor of
the church, The bishop says he IN
serted the wedge of reform in this af-
fair, and those who are affected by
the decision got the apostolic delegate,
glory to him, to drive it in.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The lumber dis
trict was visited by a second fire last
night which for time threatened to
rival in destructiyeness that of
Wednesday night Before it was sub
dued it wiped out the yards of the
following concerns: John Spry Lum-
Der Co., A. j. Mclean, cedar posts; P.
Farrell, cedar posts.
In addition to the lumber yards the
wooden bridge over the Chicago river
at Ashland avenue was totally de-
stroyed.
The fire was Oh 2 piece of land be-
tween two loading slips for vessels
directly east of where the flames were
checked Wednesday night. The fire
was discovered in the Spry lumber
yards and are supposed to have or
iginated from the embers Of Wednes-
days blaze. A high wind was blow
ing and the flames, which in a few
minutes were beyond control, began to
spread rapidly. Calls for help were
sent out but no power could have pre-
vented destruction of the Spry yards
and in a few minutes they were a
roaring furnace. The flames leaped
almost across the river and set fire to
the Ashland avenue bridge which fell
into the river fifteen minutes after it
began to blaze. The fire company
which crossed the bridge after it
caught had several men slightly
scorched and Peter Fleming, the driver,
was badly burned. In slips adjoining
the fire were several vessels all of
which had narrow escapes.
The losses are estimated as follows:
Spry company, $4,000; Mclean,
$4,000; Farrell, $4,000. All were pro
tected by insurance.
