Dispatches from Mitchell to the

ton convention had resolved itself in
to a political buttonholing and lobby
ing contest, all of the leading politi-
cal bosses being present. Wonder if

No doubt the convention was made

to compare notes but it is a little
early to get everything fixed for in

that while those who imagine them

We had an immigration conven-

very large side show to the same a
political trading post was established.
Every little politician was there with
a bottle of milk TO nurse his little
boomlet after convention hours. The
cause of immigration was helped
greatly by the convention because
that was the purpose. The cause of
the politicians was not benefited be-
cause the convention was not called

just what logic there may be in
the claim of the Hills for. the next
Republican state convention is not
apparent. The Hills country is en-.
titled to only 81 delegates out of a
total of 500. Obviously a conven-
in the Hills would be a hardship to
all the other portions of the state
when it is taken into consideration
that it is necessary to travel 700
miles to attic nj a convention. Surely
81 delegates can travel cheaper than
100. The proper place for a state
convention is some city that is SO To-
Gated that each delegate can attend
at a minimum Of expense.

it themselves can think this the best
government is beyond my compre-
hension.
The above extract is from a letter
published in the Ruralist of last
week and is a fair sample of the rea-
son or folly of the whole communi-
cation. This particular proposition
of ten per cent. compound interest
is not the way to arrive at the best
result by any means. If Mr.. Kit

Philipsburg. Mont. Jan. 30.-About two
weeks ago some one entered the room OF
Nellie Horton and carried OF about $500
worth Of diamonds. Very little was said
about the robbery at the time. but Il now
transpires that suspicion attached to a
young man who has resided here for sew
eral years and who has very respectable
family connections. A reward OF S2oo was
offered for the arrest and conviction OF
the guilty person and the recovery OF the
gems. Day before yesterday the chief OF
police of Portland telegraphed the au-
thorities here that he had both man and
diamonds. A complaint was sworn out
charging John Boyd with the crime and
the governor was asked for reouisition
papers. which he refused to grant. ex-
cept upon an information filed IA the dis
trict court. After a couple of days de-
lay. I'm which the governor was induced
to change his mind and sign the reQuisi-
tion. an officer was dispatched to Port
land for Boyd.
For the sake OF his family II is hoped
that the whole matter is q mistake and
can be explained away. but the fact re-
mains that the diamonds were stolen,
that Jack Boyd Is charged with the crime
and Is now under arrest in Portland.
