! special Dispatch to the Standard.
HELENA, Jan. 1.-THE entire interest
in to-day's proceedings centered in the
caucus held tonight. The houses met
| for a few moments only while the COM
mittees were announced and war AMI
rumor of war between some of the candi-
dates occupied the attention of the mem
bers all day. Reports of the illegitimate
use of money were prevalent and asser-
tions were made that different mem
bers had been offered a price for their
votes. If such trades were made, they
we're carried out very carefully, as no def
mite information can be obtained, but a
great many of the members of to-night's IS
caucus are suspicious.
In spite of the excitement, the caucus
was a tame affair. 1t was called to order
at half past eight o'clock and, as soon as
the call for order had been responded to.
Knlppenberg of Beaverhead, arose and
said that as far as he was concerned, his
position was unchanged. He would not
under any circumstances cast his ballot for
Lee Mantle. AS the caucus, however, had
nominated Mantle, he was the next
United States senator. He, Knippenberg,
would offer a resolution to the effect that,
whether tho caucus succeeded in choosing
n second nominee or not, the members
were bound to support Mantle as one. of
the senatorial nominees. His reasons,
for offering this resolution were that
rumors were in circulation that, if the
caucus failed to select a second nominee,
its action with regard to the nomination
of Mantle, would not be binding. He was
not opposed to the action of the caucus,
but he reiterated his firm conclusion that
he would not cast his ballot for Mantle.
After the announcement of these views,
the caucus passed the resolution and the
result was received with applause. Bal
loting then began and was interrupted
but once after the second ballot.
Joy moved an adjournment, which was
received with such chorus of "Noes,
noes" from the members that the chair
man did not put the motion.
Following are the ballots:

FOR the first time in months. 1t was ex-

positive conclusions were reached, how
ever, beyond the reference of several
questions TO subcommittee and favor

looked upon as signi iicant In indicating
that no tariff legislation will be pushed
during this session. Wilson stated IN
formally that the revenues had shown Z
promising increase since the wooden sched-
ule went into effect Jan. 1.
The resolution of Pence of Colorado

without division, and an unfavorable re-

suggestion of Tarsney that the requested
information was fully covered by the an
nual reports of the secretary of the treas

enue. The bill of Mr.. Money of Missis-

The Genital Hotel

The change in the management of
the Central Hotel on Monday marks
an important epoch in the history
OF Aliddleburgh. The hotel was es-
tablished in the early DAYS of the
town and gradually grew in popul-
arity as the Waffle House" This
well known hostelrie has been under
the name of Smith since 1910
Prior to 1887 Jacob G.. Smith and
his mother had charge of the hotel
In 1887 Charles l.. Smith assumed
the management of the Central and
retained il until his death, two years
ago. Since that time Mrs. II. w.
Smith has controlled the affairs
about the hotel.
William II. Smith. the new pro-
prietor. IL an experienced hotel
man. He has been connected with
this hotel for years. The house has
been newly furnished from top to
bottom. A number Of improve
ments have already been made and
host OF other improvements have
been devised and will be effected nj q
rapidly az time will permit. Mr..
Smith is q genuine and obliging fe,-
low and his accession to this hotel
property has been hailed with de-
light by his many friends. Mrs.
Smith, the land lady, by long aud
successful experience, has learned d
to tickle the palates of the most
fastidious guests. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith will endeavor in every way to
make congenial home for all who
take up their abode at the Central.
Guests will be welcomed at all
hours.
The bar has been supplied with

How About the Telephone ?

On the 9th of last July a charter
was granted to II. +. Richter, G. r.
Hendricks, b. F..Wagenseller, d. G..
Smith and G. VI. Clement as COZ =
poration TO be known as the Sun
bury and Snyder County Telephone
Company" AS yet nothing has
been done toward er rectiou aud con-
struction of any line. We under
stand that the proposed line will run
from Sunbury to Selinsgrove thence
to this place, We are assured that
the charter was asked for in good
faith and if the members of the cor
poration can see their way clear the
line will be put up shortly.
The proposed line will permit Of.
fees at intermediate points, such
as Shamokin Dam, Hummers Wharf,
Salem, Kreamer, Globe Mills and
Swineford and we presume if the
line is constructed these places will
be favored with offices.
There is u constant necessity for
speedy communication between
these towns and We trust that this
line may be put into operation very
shortly.

The officer made an investigation and
found new suit of clothes in the rig.

people in the vicinity showed that the
buggy had been there since Sunday
morning, and that the owner had NOT

amined the clothing carefully for a pos,
sible clue, and inside the coat found the

city limits. Further enquiry resulted
in the discovery Of horse LOOse IN a

INDICATIONS OF A STRIKE.
The Loup Creek Miners are Dissatisfied
Want Scales and Check Weighman.


Charleston, w. Va, August Il
There are stong indications that eight
hundred miners employed on Loup
creek will strike. The men are paid 55'
cents per car of entry coal. They
claim that the car holds nearly three
tons, though supposed to contain two.
They demand that car measurements
shall cease and that operators put in
scales, but continue the present rates
for mining. Operators claim that the
cars now in use hold only one and
seven-tenths tons and that consequent
ly the tonnage rate on Loup creek Is
1926 cents and 4118 cents per ton ac-
cording to the character of work neces-
sary to mine coal. This is three cents
per ton more than is paid for mining
on Kanawha and New rivers, though
the Loup creek vein is of much greater
thickness. Despite better prices paid,
it is claimed that owing to the superior
thickness of the vein in the Loup creek
the operators there sell their coal at
better profits. They claim that the
present trouble is melted by the New
river operators A delegate conven-
ton of New river and Loup creek min
ers will be held Thursday to discuss
the situation. Final action will be Ia
ken at that time.

are liable to make trouble, and they
can probably be settled with. Property
owenrs in the vicinity are anxious to
have the work go ahead, and the Chair
