Opening Court with Prayer.

One of tho learned justices of tho Maine
supreme court, than whom no man better
knows how to appreciate really amusing
thing, was holding court at Ellsworth
and, according to honored custom, called
in a local clergyman to open the session
with supplication to heaven. This

with tho justice proceeded TO address the
giver of all good and perfect things thus:
''Almighty God, we beseech thee to be-

MONTANA INDUSTRY,

The preparatory work for the con-
struction of the state normal school at
Dillon is now in progress, the excavation
for the foundation being under way. It
is matter of congratulation that such
is the case. The sooner all the state
institutions are in operation the better
it will be for the honor of Montana and
the credit of the communities in which
they are to be located. 1t may be we'll
to mention that in the case of the
normal school the contract has been
awarded to Montana firm; only Mon
tana men will be employed and as far as
possible only Montana material will
enter into it's construction. This is
proper. The products and resources of
the state are too great to permit it any
longer to play second fiddle to outsiders
on the score of economy. Self-protectiou
demands that we stop sending out our
wealth to those who are inimical to our
interests and even though it costs a few
dollars more to patronize home labor
and home Industries.

THE CASCADE FAIR.

As the time approaches for the open
ing of the Cascade county fair in this
city, 1t becomes certain that the event
will be most successful. Notices for ex-
hibits and applications for space are
coming in rapidly and all the indications
are that large as is the space there will
not be an inch to spare. There will also
be large number Of visitors indepen-
dent of those in this section who will at
tend, and there is promise of many
from Helena, Butte and intermediate
points. Among the other kindly notices
OF the coming fair is one in the Helena
Independent of Wednesday, which, after
nice general mention of the scope of
the fair. concludes as follows:
"And while the educational purpose of
the fair has been kept we'll to the front,
other tastes and interests have not been
forgotten. A series of musical concerts
will be given during the progress of the
meeting. A fine art department will at
tract the lovers of the beautiful, and the
floral display is expected to rank among
the most attractive features of the fair.
The dog lover will have bench show
all to himself and his tribe, and the
committee on immigration has arranged
for baby show with reckless disre-
gard for their personal safety in the dis
tribution of premiums that speaks
worlds for their patriotism and little for
their common sense.
"EXcursion rates have been secured
from the railroads for the first four days
of October, and admission is put at the
popular figure of half dollar The
Cascade county fair is entitled to score
a decided success"

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
JOhan Sukula Falls Beneath Moving
Train and Escapes With u Broken Leg.

Johan Sukula Falls Beneath u Moving
Train and Escapes With u Broken Leg.
An accident occurred Monday after
noon about o'clock at Sand Coulee
which illustrates the marvellous manner
in which some people escape what would
seem to be certain death.
A Finlander, whose name is Johan
Sukula, but who has anglicised his
name to John johnson, has been stop
ping in Sand Coulee for few days look
ing for work in the mines. Yesterday
he tried to jump between two cars and
climb up the ladder on a box car, after
the train was in motion, to steal ride
to town. In some way he missed his
hold and fell between the cars. The
station agent saw the occurrence and
noted the mans feet lying on the rails
for a moment. He turned his head
away to prevent the sickening sight
of seeing him crushed to death. When
he looked again the man had been shot
out from between the cars to the side of
the track, and strange to say, the wheels
had not passed over him, and the only
injury he received beyond some bruises
was broken leg. The car wheel caught
the heel Of his shoe, crushing it, and in
some mysterious manner dragged his
body from beneath the car and threw
him clear off the track. In doing this
his right leg was broken in two places
below the knee. He was taken aboard
the train and carried to the county
hospital, where his broken limb was set.

COU NTY LICENSES.

The new Montana codes are once more
made defendants and this time the in
dictment against them is of nature to
cause serious alarm. The charge in gem
eral terms is that under the codes tie
license law is in direct contravention of
the constitution and that neither state,
county nor city licenses can under the
terms of the alleged existing law be
legally collected. This discovery was
made by the Anaconda Standard and
its opinion on the subject has been sup
plemented by that Of Ed. S. Booth,
assistant county attorney of Silver Bow,
and who as a member of the legislature
was chairman of the ''steering committee"
and the main factor in securing the pas
sage Of the codes by the body in which
during its closing days he was so i'm
portant and distinguished figure
With the exception of Governor Rick.
ards, Ed. Booth is more responsible than
any other individual for the unseemly
haste in which the codes were rushed
through without reading or coneidera-
ton. All the members must take their
share of blame, but their sins were
rather of omission than commission. They
were prevailed upon to vote blindly
They did not assume to know
what they were doing. To this
extent they were cuipable. On the other
hand, Richards and Booth proclaimed
that they knew all about them and that
with a few minor amendments they
would be all right. Since the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature and the publca-
tion Of the codes the readers of TIE
TRIBUNE have from time to time been
made acquainted with the errors and in
constituencies that have been, upon ex-
animation, discovered. The more they
we're looked into the greater the wonder
grew, and now comes the climax--the IL
cense law is absolutely defective, so says
Mr. Booth, the apostle of the codes. No
need to quote the sections or the para
graphs or the contradictions in them
which have led him to this conclusion.
Suffice it to say that he has made up his
mind that no merchant or business or
professional man need pay a license, and
| that OF necessity the state, county, and
city treasures will be deprived Of that
source Of revenue. IL Mr.. Booth is right
this is rather an alarming condition of
affairs, but what is to be done about it?
No good citizen can be expected to go to
the front to test the question, and no bad
citizen dare to do so, even had he the
means and inclination. The only object
The TRIBUNE has in calling attention to
this new defect in the law is to vindicate
its long-held position that from begin
ming to end, from the date of the ap-
pointment of the commission until the
final passage, the codes have been q
fraud.

KING FARO LIVES
Judge Blake of Helena Holds That
Licensed Gambling Still Goes
in This State.
ANTI.GAMBLNG Law INVALID
Helena Dealers Immediately Resurrect
Their Lay Outs and Chips Are
Passing-An Appeal.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune
HELENA, Sept 23-Judge Blake, Of the
district court, this morning handed down
his decision in the case of the State Va.
Kelly. According to the findings gamb-
ling is allowable in the state, the old law
of 1889, relating to such, being still in
existence, never having been repealed.
The decision Of the judge is exceptionally
long, being composed chiefly of copious
quotations of law, pertaining to the
points involved in the case. In his de-
cision, Judge Blake sustained the prop
osition, that the title of the act of the
last Legislature repeating the gambling
law, was defective. In support of this
allegation the judge made frequent and
long references to many authorities. The
whole of the decision can be simmered
down to the simple fact that the gamb-
ling laws, as passed on Feb. 90, 1889, are
still in force. This law did away with
the so-called "skin games but legelized
faro bank, and round the table poker.
In conclusion he ordered the release of
the defendant and the bail bond. The
news of Judge Blake's decision spread
like wildtire, and in less than half an
hour, it was common talk on the streets.
Upon being assured that gambling was
legal once more, the old time dealers
were soon resurrecting the parapheina';a
necessary to dealing faro and setting it
up for immediate business. 1t is under
stood that County Attorney Purcell will
appeal the case to the supreme court,
and that that august body will consider
it at once, and render decision as soon
as possible.

signed his position. The resignation

probably serve on the directory, and will
also continue his Identification with
other mining properties in the district
in which he is now interested. He re-
signs only to enjoy much-needed rest
after many years of responsible labor,
and because recent investments have
been so fortunate that the question of
board bills and clothes will never trouble
him any more. Capt. Palmer will prob
ably spend the winter in Europe with

Butte will be glad to learn, return in the
spring to devote some time to his Mon

AT the Opera House Next Monday Even
ing, September 80.
Manager Hartley has booked for Mon
day evening, Sept. 30, the great railroad
melodrama Lincoln j. Carter's "Fast
Mail" which will be given a grand
scenic production. The play is con-
structed on strictly modern principles.
The interest starts at terrific pace, and
is not allowed to flag for an instant. The
incidents are made doubly thrilling by
the mechanical and scenic effects that
are employed. There is the rattle and
clatter of patrol wagon as it comes
down the street, the whistles, bells, ETC.,
of Mississippi steamboat leaving her
wharf, moonlight effects on the river,
the glowing furnaces of the boat, and
the explosion and breaking up of the
steamer. A gigantic piece of real water
scenery is presented in the Niagara falls
scene, where the enormous cataract is
represented with the roar of the water,
the seethipg foam and the rising mist
A freight train of fourteen cars is run
across the stage. The taboose is lighted
and the engine carries the engineer and
fireman. 1t is everywhere acknowledged
to be an unsurpassed achievement in
railroad scenic effect. There seems to
be no limit to the possibilities of stage
mechanism, but The Fast Mall seems
to have covered all the ground up to the
present date. The company is highly
spoken of, and the play is we'll construct
