Seeking a Candidate.

Great Falls Tribune: A distinctive
and apparently concerted move Is be-
ing made by number of republicans
to have Congressman Charley Hart
man as the nominee of the party for
governor. While 1t can not be said
the scheme is being fathered by those
high in the councils of the party, it
can be said that 1t is being engineered
by men who are active workers in the
ranks-pushers, so to speak. The one
feature of the deal or proposition is
that II has seemingly originated and
certainly has much strength on the
west side, especially in Silver Bow
county. This is remarkable because
Butte is the home Of John Ezra Rick
ards, and II is an open secret that he
is in the field for a denomination. We
are not in the secret councils of the
republican party. but we venture the
opinion that Charley Hartman will not
seek the gubernatorial nomination,
and Ii is doubtful whether he would ac-
cept II unless accompanied with IRON
clad pledges of honors yet to come. II
he intends to remain in politics he can
do better than being used as a tong TO
pull some one else's chestnuts out of
the fire.

TIME TO MOVE.
Jim Brown and the Game of a Jefferson
County Omcial.


Bozeman Chronicle: Jim Brown of
the Basin Times. says emphatically
That IL is time for him to speak He
mas held his peace long while, but
justice now compels him to talk Ac-
cording to Jim. the county attorney of
Jefferson county has a thirst on him
that Is only equalled by the the sag
gfng jag he carries. This was all right
until the other dav. when a gentle
man from Butte proposed a game of
poker with the aforesaid attorney. The
game began, whereuDon the county at
torney proceeded to carefully Select
three OF the aces and place them up
his sleeves. This was in poor taste.
1t was not what a gentleman expected
from a friend who was entertaining
him until the freight came along. He
demonstrated and as a result a fight
ensued. After the Butte man had Sc
verely censured the Boulder attorney
and drove several nails into the floor
with the attorneys being, he scooped
in the Dot. This so incensed the attor-
ney of Jefferson county that he swore
out complaint and had the Butte
man arrested. The Justice of the
peace. who was elected because no one
else would have the place. and true to
his motto: Outside money makes the
camp" placed the Butte gentleman un-
der bonds. A halbeas corpus proceed
ings were resorted to to get the Butte
man out of Boulder. for by this time
he became fearful lest the justice of
the peace would pass the death SEN
tence upon him. There was s12 In the
pot. Sc of which the county attorney
had distracted from "a canvass bag

catching No. 81, which stops at Bould-
er long enough to get up steam for its
run down hill. he returned to Butte
with the conclusion that there were
other towns in Montana besides the
Biggest camp on Earth"
All of this makes Jim Brown very in
dignant. He could forgive the county
attorney of his awful thirst, and the
fact that he got most beautifully lick
ed: but when IL occurs to him that the
county attorney Is a republican, elect
ed on that ticket. and Is thus bringing
disgrace upon his confreres and the
republican party of Jefferson county,
by his coarse work with cards, Jim
finds that 1t is time to move. So last
week he called most loudly for the
county attorneys removal.

Free Mool.

Choteau Montanian: Actions speak
louder than words. therefore don't pay
any attention to what the blatant free
trader with money says, but watch him
and see what he does. Thus, when you
hear a free trade sheepman run down
protection, pay no attention, but just
note the number of stock sheep he has
on hand and see IL he sells them of, or
IL he refuses to buy more when offered
cheap. The sheepman who talks free
wool is either a fool or a knave. He
either knows no better or he does. II
he is a knave. A man who has every
opportunity to know and does not, is
certainly a fool. and he who knows.
yet talks different. is a knave. Every
sheepman who talks free wool will
bear watching. You may set him down
as either trying to profit by others

The First Methodist Minister TO Hold
Services in Fort Benton.
A VERY POPULAR DIVINE
When He Arrived In Montana There
We're But IS Commandments
Now There Are 2.45f-
Other State Notes.

Neihart Miner: Rev. w. w. Van Ors-
del, superintendent of North Montana
mission Of the M. Z. church, was in
camp this week. holding service and
communion last Sunday. He is keen
observer, whose experience in the min
istry covers a period of more than %
years. during all of which time his la
bors have been confined to Montana.
He was born in Gettysburg, Pa. In
1872, then young man. he assembled
the Missouri river to Fort Benton,
and held the first Methodist service
ever held in that historic town. He
found here a vast Wilderness in which
the savage held a majority. where the
modes OF the whites were necessarily
primitive. He came to give his life as a
missionary and certainly those who
knew him will allow that he has well
persevered in his purpose.
In conversation with this reverend
gentleman. who has grown gray in the
service of his God. he talked freely of
his life in the West. On arriving in
Montana he found but three organized
churches where now 50 stand, repre-
sentative of his branch of the church.
He found IS communicates in the ter
ritory where now are 2.451. He has
seen the Sunday school grow from a
handful of children to the astonishing
number of $500.
He had charge of the work in Beav-
erhead. Jefferson and Madison coun-
ties, five years during which time oc-
CURED the Nez Perces war and the
battle of the Big Hole. In this he was
volunteer and was assigned to the
rescuing corps from Bannack. doing
brave service in the famous battle. In
70 he became general missionary for
Montana, establishing churches and
Sunday schools and holding meetings
in various parts. 1t was during the
term OF this Office that in August OF
1882, he held the first religious service
in Nefhart. where 1t is notable to state
that every person in camp about % in
alb was present at the service, the
only time on record where everybody
in Neihart went to church. The
preacher relates a similar incident oc-
curing in Buttelwhen in 1871 every
body except five in that camp turned
out to hear the sermon.
He is devoted to his work. constantly
endeavoring to extend the lines of bat
tie and like a dauntless commander he
constantly hopes for great victories.
He is an enthusiastic speaker, gifted
with keen perception. a powerful men,
DRY and remarkable tact and business

ing labor there Is not one field In the
state where the name OF w. w. Van

Practice More Care.

Basin Times: The Cataract miners
have during the past year experienced
many distressing and sorrowful acci-
dents. A miners vocation Is the most
hazardous of any calling one can fol-
low for a livelihood.
The first care that reposes in a SUI
perintendent or a foreman of a mine,
is for the safety of his men. All the
safe guards for their protection are
resorted to and placed about them, but
with all these precautions that are
used. miners oft times become careless
of the dangers that surround them.
This is no reflection on the under
ground toilers. but it is on the miners
who will brave danger with a disre-
gard for their own safety and for the
lives of others. A stringent rule in
the mines is to not let too many holes
off at once. but as the hour for quit
ting rapidly approaches. they do not
practice the care of letting part OF
them off and after the smoke has
cleared away. let on the balance, but
they take their own life in their own
hands and risk all the dangers with
the consequences that oft times occur
that watts them on to the great un-
known.
There Is not fear among miners.
there should be. they are a brave and
fearless set of men. they know no dan
ger. for as they descend in the cage
to the depths below by slender wire
between them and eternity, they do
so with as much grace as a clerk who
rests on his stool at the commencement
OF business in the counting house or in
the office.
We caution them now that they heed
more to the orders of the officials and
conform to the rules while below the
surface and not be so negligent Of
their own safety. II all the laws i'm
aginable were TO be enacted. they
would not save a single life, II the
lions.
