independents, outSpokcn newspa-
pers like the DEMoCRAT-STAR are
needed in every community. They
make it their business to expose
wrongs, champion the weak and open
to public inspection ranking, Tester
ing sores, disgraceful alike to hui
manity and civilization. Every city
or town has more or less noisome,
pe~stilcntial institutions or individ-
uals that need exposure. Fortunate
indeed, is the community which has a
newspaper with sufficient courage to
publish the truth fearlessly, giving
the public facts about individuals or
institutions that may for any reason
be %cultivating its favor. There are
too few such papers, and when one is
found 1t should be encouraged in it's
good work not discouraged by the
good and true people of the commu-
nifty.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE
William Beck's Dry Goods Stock Is
Badly Damaged.
INSURED FOR ABOUT HALF
The Goods We're Valued at 81 8, 900
and the Loss 10 Put at S12,-
900, With an Insurance
Of $4,000.
INSURED FOR ABOUT HALF

William Beck's dry good store at
No. ia North Main street, the store
formerly occupied by Rose Perkins,
about 9 o'clock last evening. The fire
broke out In the middle of the store
and when the fire department arrived
the rear half of the store was in a
blaze on both sides. The stock in the
rear end of the store was completely
destroyed and the rest of the goods on
the ground floor were badly damaged
by smoke and water. A stock of
Christman goods stored on the upper
floor were also badly damaged by
smoke.
The entire stock was valued at $15,-
900 and Mr.. Book estimates the loss at
nearly. If not quite. $4,000, with an in
surance of only $4,000. The State Saw
ings bank was interested in the store
and will share the loss with Mr.. Beck
in proportion Ito its interest.
The origin of the fire is complete
mystery. Everything was all right
when the store was closed, a little
after s o'clock and less than an hour
later the interior of the store was burn
ing fiercely. When the store was closed
an electric light was left burning in
one of the front windows and the fact
that this light was turned out when
the fire was discovered has caused
a suspicion in the minds Of some peo-
pie that the fire was the work of an
incendiary. 1t Is also thought that the
blaze may have been started by the
electric light wires becoming crossed.
Mr.. Beck is unable to account for the
fire in aQy way.

Great and Good Friend-During the
war between our empire and that of
China, which now has been happily
brought to an end by the conclusion Of
a treaty of peace, the diplomatic and
consular officers of the United States
in China, with your excelIency's per-
mission, and acting under your excel

friendly offices to our subjects in Chi
ma, and on many occasions afforded
them succor ard assistance. Again, as
the war was nearing its final stage,
the representative of the United States
at Toxic and Pekfn, by your excellen-
cy's authorization, provided a way
whereby China was able to approach
directly our government on the sub
ject of peace, and 1t was through 1t
facilities afforded by those two repre-
sentatives for the direc reciprocal
communications between the govern
ments of Japan and China, that all
preliminaries looking to the opening
of negotiations for a definite termina-
ton of hostilities were adjusted. The
manner in which these delicate services
in the interest of peace were performed
left nothing to besdesred.
And we take this opportunity to ex-
press to Your Excellency our high APP

Your Excellency, as wen as on the
part of Your Excellency's officers. act

the severeties and herdships of war,
and finally to promote the successful

served to draw still closer the bonds OF

which happily unite our two countries.

The Four Italian Wood Choppers May BE
Indicted at Helen,.

Indicted at Helen..
Philip Magnon, George Magnon, Ben
jamin Magnon and Benjamin Spinetti,
the four italian woodchoppers who
were arrested Thursday of last week
for unlawfully cutting timber on un-
surveyed government land in Jefferson
county, were given a preliminary ex-
animation before United States Com
missioner McMurphey yesterday and
were held to the United States court
at Helena under bonds of $500 each.
The United States grand jury meets in
Helena on Tuesday, at which time Ii
is expected these cases will be taken
up and indictments returned.
Colonel Root, who had the men ar
rested, was positive that they had cut
a great deal of timber on government
land, although he had not caught them
in the act. w. F. Cobban, Richard
Brown, Charles Brown and Deputy
United States Marshal Meiklejohn also
testified for the prosecution. Mr. Cob
ban stated that the tree tops and limbs
were left on the ground and that If a
fire ever started in the debris IL would
destroy thousands Of dollars worth of
valuable timber. At the close of the
testimony for the government Attorney
Francis Brooks for the defense stated
that although he had a great deal of
testimony he did not wish TO present il
at the examination. The bonds of the
defendants were then fixed at $3.50, but
were increased to $500 at the request
of District Attorney Leslie.
Mr.. Leslie intimated that the addi-
tional charge of leaving brush on the
ground and endangering thousands of
dollars worth of government timber
would also be brought against the de-
PENDANTS.
ut is an outrage" said Governor
Leslie to the attorney for the defense
that timber given by heaven for the
use Of our miners should be destroyed
and not vestige left for the coming
generation. We let men come here
from abroad and destroy our forests
1t Is wrong, very wrong, and they have
no more right to do so than they have
to go into your house and help them
selves to its contents. 1 think and be-
lieve there are some big men behind
these defendants. They are the men we
are after and they are the men we
must get"
1t is said that another lot of war
rants will be issued in a few days for
some more men who are alleged to have
trespassed on government timber lands.

PALMER'S BOOK.
It Is EntitIed "The story of an Earnest
Life.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-The work
which Senator Palmer is now engaged
in preparing for publication will be en-
titled, THE Story of An Earnest Life, $
and is a resume of men and events,
combined with a brief history of the
senator's life from the time he came
from Kentucky until the present. He
deals chiefly with the political history
of Illinois and the circumstances which
brought him in contact with It, One
of the points he dwells upon is his con-
nection with General Grant, whom he
speaks of as the greatest soldier of the
war. He pays a fitting tribute TO
Grants Characteristic ability on the
field and in the presidential chair, and
mentions his faults and imperfections
as well.
The senator kept a diary during a
greater part of his public life, and
from it he obtained much valuable
data for his book. He states that the
first impression he received OF Garfield
was that the man was scholarly. but
formal and pedantic, though he was Of
a studious disposition and paid close
attention to his work as chief of the
staff. General Garfield's views of mill
tary and political affairs were exceed
dngly liberal and judicious, but he did
not impress Senator Palmer as a man
who possessed either sincerity or depth
of feeling. He was ambitious, and
proved by his conduct that he would
not recklessly share the misfortunes OF
his chief or any one else. The book
will contain the story of Senator Pal
mer's connection, with the civil war as
commander Of the Fourteenth Illinois
and the events in which he participated
and will give causes and their results
rather than events. 1t win contain
some interesting bits Of history con-
nected with Lincoln and his nomination
for the presidency. and the causes
which conspired to make him promi.
nent and the man of the people.

TEARS, FLOUR AND WHlSKEY
The Beggar Haunts the Auditors
Office. but Gets No Aid. as
His Children Say Hels
Undeservlng.

For several weeks the Office of the
county auditor has been haunted by
an old German named Josef Vardert,
as near as the name could be under
stood, who has been begging for coun-
ty aid. He was at the office again yes
terday and asked for a blanket to
keep him warm at night. He pleaded
that his blood was cold and that he
was freezing TO death. but he did not
get the blanket because the old man
has a daughter and two sons living in
town who forbade the county officers
giving the old man any further assist
ance. saying they were willing to keep
him or send him back to Germany, but
that he was stubborn and refused to
accept their aid. The old man. who is
"a years of age, however tells a differ
ent story and says his children have
refused TO help him in any way. He
says he lives in a shack near the
slaughter house southwest of the city
and that the only thing he has TO eat
is what is given him at the slaughter
houses, and that he has nothing to
Keep him warm in either fuel or cloth
ing. He was very bitter in speaking of
his children and said that as long as he
could work for them ne was good
enough, but now that he was old ans
almost helpless they had no use for
him. God should not let a man live
to be as old as l am" said he in Ger
man. His son-in-law is proprietor of a
bakery on Park street and 1t was re-
ported to the county officials that he
had recently given his father-in-law a
sack of flour and that the old man
took 1t to a saloon and traded 1t off for
beer, and that other articles of food
and clothing went the same way. AS
he left the court house yesterday the
tears streamed down his wrinkled face
and he said that all that remained for
him to do was to go home and die.
