The Present Kangaroo Court Is an Ex-
ceptionaIty Efficient One.
Missoula, Jan. 2-Judge Ross had a
single candidate for jail orders TINS
morning, as a result of the New Year
hilarity His name was Denis Burke,
and he had evidently had a high old
time. When he came into the court
room he took a seat near the stove and'

Denis had been drunk. There was
no use denying that His race ana ms
general appearance gave him away.
His eyes looked like two burned noles
in a blanket, and his whole makeup
was in evidence against him. But ne
didn't want to go to jail, and when his
honor pronounced sentence upon hlm
and consigned him to the county pas
tile for a period Of 10 days, he at nrst
positively refused to go, but at length
consented and left the room with the
officer. I'm have vote here next

But the troubles of Denis had Only

found more woe than he had dreamed
of in his most respondent hours. he
was not clean. Reference has already
been made to that fact. He was quite
the reverse and when he was uShered
into the cell room, the kangaroo court
saw in him a victim for Its peculiar
method of justice. And Denis had 10

Denis made the best of ii and TOOK

mysteries of Jail life and was at home.
The present kangaroo court at the
county Jail is one Of the most efficient
that has ever been in existence there.
Its officers are unusually exacting in
the matter of cleanliness, especially
those whose terms are long, and woe TO
the short term vag or drunk VINO re-
beds One fellow last week bucked a
little and in consequence was not able
to sit down with comfort during the
entire period of his Today term. Ter
riault, the man held for the Ravalli
county officers for stealing a horse, had
a hard time last Sunday, too. He was
not under sentence, but was merely
locked up over night that he might be
taken back to Darhs the next day. This
made no difference TO the kangaroo
court. Terriault was examined and
two silver dollars, which the deputies
had overlooked, were found in his pock-
cts. The COURT commanded him to turn
the money into the judicial Golfers. but
Terriault refused. Then there was ST.
lence for a moment, broken rudely by a
whack that echoed back from the
whitewssched walls out into the sher-
iff's office. The whack was followed by
regulation Bitter Root yell that be-
tokened physical suffering. Then came
another interval of silence and then the
Jingle of silver. There was money in
the tobacco fund once more.

as speedily as Possible.
Missoula, Jan. 1.-Out at the new
brewery, mechanics are at work re-
pairing the damage done by the acct
dental fall of the big copper beer ket-
tie last week and every effort is being
made to get the plant into working
order as speedily as possible. The ac-
cident has delayed the placing OF the
machinery so that the brewing opera
lions will not be commenced this week
as was expected. The kettle was COM
pletely wrecked and a new one will be
constructed at once. Tom Bassler hav-
ing began work upon it to-day. The
heavy double bottom of the kettle es-
capped serious damage and will be used
in the new one. but the sides are
mashed beyond repair.
On the ground floor of the brewery
the steam boilers have been set and
the cooling room is being finished. On
the second floor. coopers are building
watts and the kettles are being placed.
The mill and other machinery are
ready to be put into operation on the
third floor and in a few days the plant
will begin to look like business.
Mr.. Lang who was injured in last
weeks accident has recovered suffi-
GENTLY TO get about a little, although
he is very lame. His spine sustained a
severe wrench and a broken stick of
timber inflicted a serious wound I'm his
back. Mr. Lang has charge of the me-
chanical work and his injuries have
rendered IL impossible for him TO SUI
perintend the work of placing the ma
chainery. This has further DELAYED
the completion of the construction
work and IL will require several weeks
to finish the work.

WANTED HIS PRESENTS BACK
A M.ssouIa Man Arrested Under PECULIAR
CircumstsrceS

Missoula, Jan. 2.-There was an ar
rest made here this evening under
somewhat sensational circumstances,
the parties to which are well
known. The affair seems to be the result
of unrequited love. The man in the case
who is the party under arrest, has been
assiduous in his attentions ito the young
woman concerned, who is very pretty and
attractive. Last night things came to a
showdown and he who had loved now
lost. When he found IL was all off with
him he made a good deal of fuss and did
some angry talking in his excitement lie
bemoaned his fate and expressed regret
for all the presents he had made TO the
object of his affections. Friends coun-
selled him to keep quiet, and 1t was sup
posed that he would take a philosophical
view of the matter. Tonight comes the
information of his arrest for breaking
into and entering the house of the young
woman during her absence. 1t is ex-
pected that the matter will be settled.

the salary they pay. Taking the Court

To sum up there are in round num-
ibers 204, 600 appointive places in the Fed
eral Government In 1895 the report of
the Civil Service Commission showed
that 152. 900 OF them were in the unclas ssh
fled service. These figures have been
reduced by fully 10000. Therefore the
Mckinley Administration will find about
122.00O positions OF all kinds to which
appointments may be made without the
necessity Of a civil service examination
the bane of the spoils hunter. OF this
number $4,000 are fourth-class postmas-
terships. MIR. German, upon a historic
occasion, called the fourth-class post
office at the crossroads store and the
corner grocery the foundation-stone of
the Government OF the United States.
1t is refreshing for our Republican
friends to remember that, despite the
fell destruction in the political vine
yard" worked by the growth of the civil
service idea. they have $4,000 "founda-
ton stones" left for division among those
whose services are more or less "valu-

A GREAT COTTON PORT.
horiolk's Magnificent Showing In Receipts
of the fIeecy Staple This Season. !,
INCREASE OF 2O8,5sI BALES ALREADY
superintendent BciI Attributed This
to sDrirt Toward tho Natural Port
OF Norfolk, Rather Than TO n
Largo Crop-All south.AtInntic
Ports Except Savannah Rehind.

It has literally showed cotton in Nor
folk for the past ten days, and the re
suit Is that the warehouses have over
flowed with the fleecy staple; the
wharves are damned with it. In some
cases it is even being stored in the
streets, and although every availab BILE
steamship that can be secured is taking
1t away daily, the influx continues
greater than ever. BY railway and
steamer lines the bales roll in and the
transfer barges laden with it. Even
coasting schooners are bringing cotton
to Norfolk.
superintendent Norman Bell, of the
Cotton Exchange, attributes this not to
the size OF the crop. but to its large
delivery at this the natural port OF
lying nearer the Atlantic than the Gulf
Coast.
Said Mr.. Bell in conversation with n
Nirginian representative yesterday:
Norfolk Is rapidly regainlng her old
time prestige as u cotton port. This is,
Ing of the Southern railway, which taps
every section OF the cotton belt and
brings it's product direct to Norfolk.
SHOWING SAVANNAH HARD.
However, all the transportation lines,
both rail and water, are bringing
thousands Of bales to this port and we
are showing Savannah hard"

this assertion is based OH facts. Since
September LIST, 1896, TO date there has
| been received at the port of Norfolk,
399,G55 bales OF cotton, as against 49,
OG4, including receipts, at West Point
last year. This IS a clear gain Of 20S.-
| SOL bales. During the same period in
1895 Wilmington received 10O,421 and in
| 1886, 161, 740. Charleston's receipts for
| the corresponding time were in 1895,
l5S,079 and in 1896. 237.TO5.
Savannah. Norfolll's most formidable
rival among Atlantic ports. received in

than Norfolk and West Point combined.
| This season she has received to date,
435,S2l or only 36,166 bales more than
| Norfolk alone.
This is 4 remarkable showing and
merely goes to prove that the drift of
| ali kinds OF export trade is toward Nor
folk, the natural outlet for the Atlantic
| Coast.
The greater portion of this cotton is

! prominent cotton men that Norfolk

are running on full time and often over

may be removed from wharves and

| Transatlantic steamship lines out
from Norfolk find it Il hard matter to
| secure ships enough to transport their
| cotton cargoes and all this merely points
to the fact that Norfolk is great cot
