FOR STATE SENATOR.

Montcalm herald
We learn from the Greenville Inde-
pendent that DIR. G. +. Morgan of
Greenville, who had been mentioned
as a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for state senator. has emphati-
cally declined TO be candidate. DR..
Morgan's action leaves the field clear
for Hon. +. 5. Wagar, OF Edmore, who
is candidate for the nomination, and
one whom the Republicans OF Mont
calm county can most heartily endorse
for the place. AS the nomination will
naturally come to Montcalm county
this year, we see no reason why il
should not be given to Mr.. Wagar.
He has served the first district OF the
county in the state legislature for two
terms with marked ability and TO the
utmost satisfaction of his entire consti.
tuency. His experience in the House
would be of great value to him as a
member of the Senate, and would
enable him to do better work and exert
greater influence in behalf of his
district than any man who could be
named for the place. Mr.. Wagar i.
too well known to the Republicans Of
the county to need any introduction
from the Herald. 1t would be useless
To look for better man for the place
for he could not be found. Nominate
+. S. Wagar and you will have the
right man in the right place.

McKINLEY's RESPONSE.


A large delegation of business men
of Ohio called on Mr.. Mckinley few
days after the Chicago convention and
he spoke to them as follows:
Recent events have imposed upon
the patriotic people of this country
responsibility and duty greater than
that of any since the civil war. Then
it was struggle to preserve the gov
eminent of the United States. Now it
is struggle to preserve the financial
honor of the government of the United
States. Then il was "a contest to
save the union. Now it is con-
test to save spotless its credit.
Then section was arrayed against
section. Now, men of all sections can
unite, and will unite to rebuke the re-
pudiation of our obligations and the
debasement of the currency.
In this contest patriotism is above
party, and national honor is dearer
than any party name. The currency
and credit of the government are good
now and must be kept good forever.
Our trouble is not with the character
of the money we have, but with the
threat To debase it. We have the same
currency that we had in 1892 good the
world over and unquestioned by any
people. Then. too, we had an unexam
pied credit and prosperity.
Our difficulty now is to get that
money in circulation and invested in
productive enterprises, which furnishes
employment to American labor. This
is impossible with the distrust that
hangs over the country at the present
time, and every effort TO make our
dollars, or any of them, worth less
than 100 cents each, only serves to in
crease that distrust.
What we want is sound policy,
financial and Industrial, which will
give courage and confidence to all, for
when that is done, the money now un-
employed because OF fear for the future
and lack of confidence in investment,
will quickly appear in the channels of
trade.
Gentlemen, the employment Of our
idle money, the idle money that we
already have in gainful pursuits, will
put every idle man in the country at
work, and when there is work there
is wages, and when there is work and
wages, there are consumers, who con-
stitute the best market for the pro-
ducts OF our soil.
Having destroyed business and con-
fidence by free trade policy, it is now
proposed to make things still worse
by entering upon an era OF deprecated
currency. Not content with the in
auguration OF the ruinous policy which
has brought down the wages OF the
laborer and the price Of the farm pro-
ducts, its advocates now offer new
policy which will diminish the value
of money in which wages and products
are paid.
Against both of these, we stand op.
posed. Our creed embraces an honest
dollar, an untarnished national credit.
adequate revenues for the uses of the
government, protection to labor and
industry, preservation of the home
market, and reciprocity, which ex-
tends our foreign market.
Upon'this platform we stand and
submit its declarations to the sober
and considerable judgment of the Amer.
! lean people.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena. May 25.-Not a little excite
ment was caused in this city to-day by
a confession made by a woman who.
for Ia years has been passing herself
off as a man. The woman went by the
name of Fred Rollins. and came to this
city about three years ago. She refuses
TO divulge her real name for fear that,
in some way, the true condition OF at
fairs may reach her mother, who re-
sides i'm some place In New York state.
The woman's mother is confined to her
bed with a stroke OF paralysis. Rollins
is afraid IL her mother should learn
what she has done. the shock would kill
her. Rollins refuses TO tell where she
used to live in New York state. Beyond
telling a few incidents leading up to
the cause Of her leaving ner home. she
will say nothing of her past.
According TO her story, when about
Ia years OF age she resided upon q
farm and one day a female canvasser
visited the place. During one OF their
conversations the canvasser made the
proposition that Rollins dress as a boy
and go out selling goods for her. The
offer was taken up. and one night she
left her home, dressed as a young man.
and has since then always gone dis
guised as a man. IL was only a mat
and lead fast life like a man. When
she came TO Helena, persons became in
terested in her and started her out In
the oil business. For some time she
went from house to house selling coal
oil and gasoline. Her reformation did
not last long and she began to drink.
The Salvation army then took an in
terest in her and Private Mccall went
in partnership with her. attempting to
secure her conversion. To save the
business he was finally compelled to
buy her out. Prior TO that Rollins was
employed as call boy in the Grand
Central hotel.
Rollins went to Great Falls and was
again started in the oil business, but
drink caused her failure again. From
that place she drifted TO Missoula in
the course of time. during which she
worked on ranches. At Missoula the
idea of reforming took her by storm
and she confessed To Captain Seely OF
the Salvation army that she was
woman. Seely did not believe her, and
sent her To Helena TO Major LangtTy.
in whose charge Is the rescue home.
advising the latter by letter the status
Of affairs. Rillins was examined and
her statements 10 the effect that she
was a woman are verified by Major
Langtry. Rollins is now at the rescue
home and proposes 10 stay there until
she is reformed She has letters 70 the

are respectable. She has always COM
municated with her family and last

companies and the Union Pacific as to
the right to use the tracks of the bridge
across the Missouri river at Omaha,
and which the Union Pacific sought to
have invalidated on the ground that
the contract was made by the officials
of a branch line. One of the points
raised was that IL was not within the
corporate powers of the parties to make
such contracts. but the chief justice
said on this point that there was
nothing in the charter of the Union
Pacific company that prohibits such an
arrangement as the one in controversy,
unless by implication, and as by IL the
public interest was subserved. that
company reached it's own lines by
shorter route and accommodated its
own true freight and travel we are not
prepared to hold that IL was invalid"
The opinion also held that the con-
tracts were duly authorized by the
Union Pacific and they were such con-
tracts as a court of equity can spe-
cifically enforce, thus affirming the
decree of the circuit court of appeals
for the Eighth districts on all points,
the decision being against the Union
Pacific.

Griffin seized the Clark girl and plung-
ed into the flood, which extended from
bluff to bluff, a distance of half a mile,
The brakeman and child must have met
almost instant death. The other three
children of Mrs. Clark were on the side
of the depot which went down, and
when II rose again, a minute later, to
continue its journey down stream the
children were missing. James Dillon
and p. Moss managed to catch the
overhanging branches of a tree, and
here they were discovered when a res
cuing party arrived.
The others remained in the depot un-
til IL lodged against tree a half mile
or so below the depot site. The body
of one of Mrs. Clark's children. a girl
4 years of age, was found so yards be-
low the tree against which the depot
lodged. The bodies of griffin and the
the girl he had attempted to rescue
were found three miles down, lodged in
the driftwood. The body of the other
child was seen in the food four miles
down the river.
