A FULL, STRONG TICKET
NOMINATED.
THE TICKET.

The Republicans of Madison county.
in convention last Saturday. nominated
a good clean ticket, and one that will
command the entire strength OF the
party and ought to win next NO
vember. There was very little rivalry
and great deal of harmony. Every
section of the country is represented
on the ticket. The Upper Ruby got
the shrevalty. Sheridan commission
er. Twin Bridges representative and
the northern end of the country the as
sessorship. Pony secured represen-
tatiye while the Madison valley was
awarded q commissionership and the
county superintendent of schools. Geo
graphically the distribution was good
and the personnel of the standard bear
ers is excellent.
There are many men in Madison
county, who, since the St. Louis con
vention declared for gold, have arrayed
themselves on the side of silver. be-
lieving that the welfare OF Montana
and for the country generally could be
best subserved by such course. On
all other issues they indorse the St.
Louis platform. They are what is
known as the "Silver Republicans. y
Then on the other hand there is con-
siderable faction in the party who in
dorse the St. Louis platform as whole;
some because they believe protection
to be q greater Issue, and stand for the
endorsement of Mckinley. Both ele
ments were represented in the conven
tion. and naturally a contest was an
ticipated. However the dove OF peace
spread her white wings above the scene
of the convention deliberations. an(
while the silver men We're largely IL
the majority adopted a silver platform
and reiterated their past utterances
harmony prevailed and the dele
gates went to thir several homes, high
ly pleased with the result Of their la
bOrs.

FOR SHORTER HOURS
A Movement Being Made to Have the
Stores Close at 6, P. NJ.
TWILL BE URGED IN UNION
The Plan Was Endorsed by the Dis
trict Assembly No. IS, X. of
L., at Its Recent Meet
ing in Anaconda.
TWILL BE URGED IN UNION

About four years ago the Clerks As
sembly of the knights of Labor succeed
ed in establishing the closing of all stores
in Butte at p. m. Previous to that time
there was no regular closing hour, most
of the stores remaining open until late
hour every evening, and the clerks hav-
ing no regular hours. The clerks organi-
zed an assembly and the stores soon
consented to closing at o'clock, except
during the holiday season and at other
specified periods, and agreements were
entered into by the proprietors of the
stores and the Clerks Union as to the
hours of closing.
A movement is now on foot to close the
stores at d. m instead of =. m, as
it is argued that closing at p. m. gives
very slight relief to the clerks, while IL
the stores closed at y. m. the clerks
could have the entire evening to them
selves and II is claimed that II all the
stores will agree to the proposition there
will be just as much business done by
ALL The proprietors of the business
houses of Butte will be asked TO agree
to this earlier closing proposition.
The following resolutions on this sub
ject were passed by District Assembly
No. 9S, knights of Labor, in their session
at Anaconda Jan. "a:
Whereas, 1t is an established fact that
the closing of stores at s p. m. does not

Whereas, A majority of Montana 8
workingmen are employed night and day

opportunities to do their trading in the
afternoon; and
Whereas, The stores are open until
10 p. m. on Saturdays and on the day
preceding every legal holiday. thereby
giving all ample facilities for procuring
goods and supplies: therefore be IT
Resolved, That d. a. No. 9S, K. Of L.,
in regular session assembled, does hereby
recommend that all stores should be re-

HE'S EXPOSED.
Koehler's Recent scrape Brings Impor-
tant Things to Light.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston, Feb. 1.-The mystery sur
rounding the shooting of Henry 'koehler
is gradually clearing up and the deNei-
opments of to-day placed koehler in the
character of a general house breaker and
all-around crook Koehler to-day remov-
ell his possessions from his former resi-
dence to the Horner lodging house. and
while transporting the articles, among
them vas noticed a table which X. Il.
Kelly identified as the one stolen from
him a short time ago. In addition TO
this Otto Eastman learned that koehler
had been wearing a coat purloined from
Eastman not long ago. Sheriff Young
was informed of these circumstances,
and, in company with Eastman. went. to
Koehler and asked to be shown the coat:
Being informed by Koehler that the coat
was at the Horner lodging rooms all
three repaired there. but the coat was
nowhere in evidence. Sheriff Young then
requested Eastman to keep his eye on
Koehler while he went to koehler's
boarding house, where the coat was
found. But before the sheriff returned
Koehler had eluded Eastman by going
out of the back door of the saloon.
Search was Immediately begun and about
10 p. m. the fugitive was captured in the
railraod yards in the act of trying to
leave town on a freight train. on his
person was found a hair chain which
Mention Wetzstein identified as being one
OF the articles taken from his residence
at the time il was broken into three
weeks ago. Koehler also had in his pos
session a lady's gold watch, probably
stolen. and IL has since been learned
that he disposed of two quite valuable
watches recently. and it is quite proba-
BILE that he is the man who burglarized
the White residence on New Years night.
The officers are of the opinion that he
had a woman for a confederate. who
sought revenge by shooting him because
he failed to make the right cut with
her of his offerings.
