A CITIZENS TICKET.
This Plan of Spring Campaign Takes n
Fresh Spurt.

This Plan of Spring Campaign Takes n
Fresh spurt.
MIssoULA, March 2S.-As a result of
the meeting of the democratic central
committee last night, the citizens move
ment took squirt to-day and tonight ii
looks very much as if this plan would
carry. The committee last night decided
to endorse a citizens ticket and to work
for it's election. provided the republican
leaders would join in such a movement.
1t was decided further to confer with the
republicans to-day and effect some sort of
an agreement by which a non-partisan
ticket can be put through. There is no
doubt that, if a party election is held, the
democrats will win, but the view taken
last night was that the interests of the
city demand that there shall be no issue
at stake this year except the good of tho
community and that ticket put into the
field by the business men of the city, re-
gardless of party, would be the best one
for the city.
Several prominent republicans have
to-day expressed themselves as in favor
of a citizens movement and have stated
emphatically that they would support
such ticket heartily and willingly. The
STANDARD a month ago printed the
opinions of politicians of both parties to
the effect that a citizens movement this
spring would be the best thing that
could happen to the city. In
the first place, it would, if
properly handled, put a good business
man at the head of party affairs and, in
the second place, it would serve to de-
stroy the opinion which prevails through
out the state that nothing can be done in
Missoula without a scrap.
A STANDARD reporter to-day inter-
viewed these same gentlemen again and
found that they are still of the same opin-
ion. Others were also seen and the replies
of all of them were almost Identical OF
the men who were seen to-day, nine
tenths expressed themselves substantially
as follows: "If citizens ticket is placed
in the field, we will support it, IL it is
headed by disinterested business man
who has no axe to grind, but who is
pledged to work for the best interests of
the city, regardless of local and sectional
differences"
A few stated that they would support a
citizens ticket unqualifledly. The ma
jority of those who were seen by the re-
porter to-day spoke as above. If a disin-
terested, cautious business man heads
the ticket, he will have no opposition.
This is the question which the business
men have toconsider. If they will nut
up such n man, he will be elected. If q
party fight is forced by the republicans,
the democratic party will win all around.

ST. LOUIS. March 28.-The California
express on the Iron Mountain railroad,
which was held up by two masked rob-
bers one mile this side of Williamsville,
Mo-, at midnight last night, reached here
this forenoon several hours late. Accord
ing to the trainmen the hold-up was one
of the most daring since the time of the
Jesse James gang. Two men took COM
plete possession of the train. Their arms
consisted of Winchesters and Colts re-
volvers. Conductor Webb said: "One of
the men covered me with a gun and or
dered me to throw up my hands. He
grabbed my watch, ran his hands down
my pockets and got about 81 L had col
lected in fares. They forced the engineer
to run up the track about half a mile with
the express car after uncoupling it from
the train. The messenger was compelled
to open the small safe at the point of
pistol, and when he could not open tho
larger safe they threatened to kill him.
They ransacked the local packages, but
Messenger Early thinks they got nothing
of value, as all the money was locked in
the larger safe at Poplar Bluff. Their
work done, the highwaymen got over a
fence and made for the woods"

iion of school trustee. lie has not signi-
fed his willingness to serve, but If nomi-
mated he would receive. the support of all
who desire good schools. Another man
who has been suggested is j. Watson Bu-
ford, who would be a valuable addition to
the board of school trustees. Mr.. Buford's S
work as secretary of the board of direc-
tors OF the public library has demon
strated his interest in educational affairs
and he would take an active part in the
business of the school board.
These are tho only names that have
been mentioned as yet, and they seem
satisfactory to the majority of the people
who have heard tho suggestion. There
may be others proposed later, but there
can certainly be none better qualified
than these two gentlemen.
The electors of the district will also
have to consider the proposition of re-
funding the school district bond issue of
S12,500. This is made possible by the act
of the last legislature and will greatly
benefit the district. 1t is understood that
there is no opposition to this proposition.

WORK FOa WARRANTS.
The Genus Hobo Can Find Plenty to DO
On MlssouIa's Streets

The Genus Hobo Can Find Plenty to DO
On MlssouIa's Streets.
MIssoULA, March 28.-Thc street clean
ing department has at last taken n tumble
and to-day began work on some of the
city's thoroughfares that are in such n
disgraceful condition.. A start was made
at the First National bank corner and the
gang that worked there all day succeeded
in making a slight impression on the heap
of mud. ice and filth that has accumulated
in the Front street gutter. The mess ex-
tends up the street as far as the Rankin
house and should have been cleaned up
three weeks ago. But now that n begin
ming has been made, it is TO be hoped that
tho good work will go ON until the whole
street is put in shape for travel. Tho
middle of the street is all right, but the
cutters are in disgracefui condition.
When the department has completed
tho cleaning of this street, there will be
fruitful field for operations on Higgins
avenue in front of the Roberts block
and tho neighboring buildings. Tyler
Worden and others in this block have
made some attempt to get the cutters
cleaned and the avenue put in shape, but
there is still enough for the city depart
ment to do. The mud is ankle deep there
and is n mixture of ice, sawdust and filth
that will not dry out for three months I'M
less some of it is taken away.
The delightful impression which it is
said visitors to the city obtain looking
down Higgins avenue, would be greatly
improved if the corner of the avenue and
Cedar street were cleared. Here is.a heap
of rock that has been lying in the street
ever since the foundation walls we're put
in on that corner, and here, too, is bill
board that cuts off large portion of the
view, built crosswise of the avenue out
side of the walk.
There is plenty of work for all the vags
that can be run in and here is an oppor-
tunity that the department will never
have again to show how much it can ben
eft the city if it will only get down to
business. The harvest is ripe-exceed-
ingly ripe, some of it, judging from the
odor-but there is scarcity of reapers
and no great amount of energy on the
part of the few that are available.

Not Attracting Much Attention-some
Candidates Named.
MIssoULA, March 2s-The school dis
trict election, which occurs next month. is
not attracting much attention, despite the
fact that 1t is of more than ordinary inn
portance. The peculiar circumstances
which now exist in this city make il inn
perative that the two trustees who are to
be elected this spring be men who are ia
miliar with the needs of the school dis
trict and who are qualified TO deal with
the questions which will arise in an in
telligent and comprehensive manner.
Missoula is now the university city of
Montana. As such, its public school sys-
tenn ought 10 be model. The seat of tho
state university ought to have public
schools which will be in keeping with tn o
reputation which the city should have, as
the location of the highest institution in
the educational system of the state.
The present public schools have, it is
believed, improved greatly in efficiency
during the past two or three years. Tho
financial condition of the district has
greatly hampered improvements in the
schools which were recognized as necessi-
ties but the trustees have managed the
affairs of the district in manner which
ought TO be satisfactory to the electors.
There have been indefinite charges of ex-
travagance made against the school
board, but there seems TO be no sufficient
ground for these accusations. II takes
money to make good schools.
But there is something necessary to a
good school system besides efficiency in
the rudiments. There must be a strong.
firm moral tone pervading all the work of
the schools. As much depends upon this
as upon the proficiency of the pupils in
their studies. II should be the promine mt
feature of the school work. The trustees
should cooperate with the teachers i'm Sc,
curing 1t and should be men who have
the time and the disposition to devote

In the discussion of the approach
ing election, there have been, SO
far as is known, no tickets made
up as yet. The name Of DIR. j.
J. Buckley has been suggested as
a good one. DR.. Buckley has always

fairs and is admirably fitted for the posi-

HOW 1T ALL HAPPENED.
Inside Facts of the Attempted Kentucky
Train Robbery.

LOUISVILLE. March 2S.-In the Queen &
Crescent train robbery the men killed
were Jesse Morrow, aged 80, and Tom
Morrow. Tramp Martin, the third man
shot, was not thought TO have any con-
nection with the affair.
When the train pulled into Greenwood
Detectives Griffin and Eddy were notified
by Frazer, the local detective, that the
game was ready. The engineer was to
give a special signal on the whistle if the
train was halted by the bandits. Promptly
on the dot and spot, a mile south of
Greenwood, in the dark shadow of the
tunnel cut, the signal came from the en-
gineer. With the sharp crack of revolvers
saluting the halting of the train, the
wheels had not stopped ere Griffin, Eddy
and Frazer sprang from the train. Every
one fairly in sight went down under the
rapid fire of the detectives. The robbers
we're so dazed that the reply fire was wild,
and in a few minutes all was over.

MIssoULA, March 2S.-Coroner Grain
returned from Thompson Falls this even

animation of the wife of John Stewart
and her parents for the murder of Stew
art. DIR. Grain informed a STANDARD re-
porter this evening that the evidence
showed that the wife. who is but child in
her teens, probably had nothing to do with
the crime, but that the Clarks, her par
ents, evidently conspired to do away with
Stewart to gain control of his property,
which is estimated at 25,0O0. They will
probably be held for trial. The viscera of
Stewards body will be sent to Chicago for
analysis.
An agent of a commission house in n n

Auditor Otto of the Northern Pacific
Express company arrived from Spokane
to-day. He has no additional information
regarding the proposed change in the ex-
press business here. 1t is learned from
another source this evening that the pro-
posed changes are even more sweeping
than ut first announced. In addition 10
abolishing the city offices of the express
company, il is said that messengers will
be taken off all branch lines and express
matter will be handled by the train crew,
the brakemen to handle packages and
the conductor to keep the records. 1t is.
said further that conductors will eceive.an
additional salary of so month. This
change will first be made on the Philips
burg branch. There is some doubt as to
whether this will apply to the Bitter Root
branch or not, on account of the large
volume of fruit business.
