ranged by the Bosses.

ST. Louis, Jan. 21.-The national re-
publican subcommittee, after a two
days session, finally completed it's bust
ness, signed the contract with the bus
mess mems league for the care of the
national convention to be held June 16
next, and adjourned sine die this even
ing. Joseph Manley. chairman of the
subcommittee, said the arrangements
had been perfected for the convention to
the entire satisfaction of all. Citizens
of ST. Louis are to bear the entire eX-
pense attending the convention, each
member of the national committee to
bear his own personal expenses. The
citizens committee, however. will pro-
vide rooms for the meeting of the ma
tional committee for the transaction of
its official business in connection with
the convention. Manley said he was
authorized to say for every member of
the subcommittee that the selection of
any particular candidate has no signifi-
canoe regarding the presidential con-
test. When completed, 1t is estimated
the hall will seat at least $1,000 people,
and will have ample committee rooms.
In executive session, the committee
appointed the following committees:
Printing-Clarkson of Iowa, Hahn OF
Ohio and Kernes of Missouri. Hall
General Clayton of Arkansas. w. j.
Campbell of Illinois and w. c. Payne OF
Wisconsin. IL was decided that visiting
republicans would have 10 look to the
delegates of their respective districts
for tickets to the convention. The
usual number of tickets will be given
the local committee. A resolution was
adopted providing that the 500 ticket:
set apart for the G.. A. r. be turned
over 10 the members OF the council OF
administration of that organization fol
distribution on the basis of membership
of the organization in each state and

Mrs. Fordham Enhances the Briliiancy OF
Court Function.

"a Court Function.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Missoula, Jan. 21.-It was with pleas
urable anticipation that a large crowd
of people gathered at Judge Ross court
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon. The case OF
the state OF Montana against Mrs. Julla
Fordham was on the hook, in Wnlch
the latter was charged with kicking the
peace and quiet of the school section
full of holes and causeing much distress
to Mrs. Nellie Lehman. The loss OF
Mrs. Fordham's grip on the pIiaDle az
fections of her recreant spouse Is al
legged to have been at the bottom OF the
Donneybrook,
The airing of soiled family linen Is al
ways considered one of the best draw
ing cards in the SWEETEST police court
circles. 1t has a bigger draught than
one of Coles alright heaters. To-
days function promised to develop into
a hummer. For a time there was every
indication of an endless chain OF racy
proceedings. But a few minutes later
adjournment was taken and dlsap-
pointed crowd filed out of Judge Ross
dispensary of justice. =,
The principals and witnesses were all
on hand at the appointed hour l. q;
Denny and John f. Sloane appeared
for Mrs. Fordham. They entered re-
quest for a jury trial, which was grant
ed. Owing to the inability OF county
Attorney Dixon to be present 20 con-
duct the prosecution, the case was
postponed until 2 O'Clock tomorrow aft
ternoon. Incidentally 1t might be re-
marked that Judge Ross desired time
in which to delve into the mysteries OF
the codes, as this will be the first jury
trial held in his court under the new
law.
At the conclusion of to-day's pro
ceedings Mrs. Fordham relieved the
solemnity of the occasion by confront
ing her former lord and master re-
marking: Let me kiss you"
Her truant husband stood abasne
however, evidently suspicious OF MS
abandoned wife's sincerity, and not De-
ing in a mood 10 engage in osculatory
exercises anyway. Mrs. Fordham Is
apparently a woman of quick wit and
repartee. and If given half show will
inject plenty of rich fun into to-mor-
rows proceedings. AS humorlst, MT ,
Julia Fordham is no SLOUGH. She is hot
stuff

SPECIAL Sc SStON.
The Commissioners Review the Property
of the Higgins Estate.

of the Higgins Estate.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Missoula, Jan. 21.-The county COM
nnissioners met to-day in special SEES
sion to receive the statement OF the
special commission appointed to nves-
tigate and review the assessments anu
taxes upon the property OF the estate
of c. p. Higgins. The statement was
signed by d. ]. Bailey, county clerk
John L. Sloane, deputy assessor, and
Will Cave. deputy treasurer. 1t showed
that the books of the assessor and the
treasurer had been carefully examined
and from the records therein, the COM
mission found that the taxes with
penalties and interest, of the Higgins
estate. calculated to Feb. z, 1896,
amount to $27, 3S2.21.
This is a reduction of about $4,000
from the amount that had Deen
charged against the estate, numerous
errors having been discovered. These
errors were principally in the nature OF
double assessments. where property
that had been sold by the estate was
still assessed to ii as well as to the
purchaser One error in the extern
sion of figures was discovered amount
ing to about s., 1000. The errors arising
from double assessment were mostly
small.
The county commissioners made an
order. authorizing the county treasurer
TO accept in full settlement of claims
against the Higgins estate, 27,3S2. Il.
The board adjourned until the regular
February session. In the meantime II
IS expected that the commissioners viii
visit the site of the proposed bridge at
Bonita and be prepared to act upon
the proposition at the next meeting.

GOING FOR THE DEVIL.
Evangelist struble's Vigorous Warfare
Upon His Satanic Ma jesty.


From the Portland Oregonian.
The Oregonian is in receipt of a
pamphlet entitled "A Jab at the Devil;
an Argument for a Christian Political
Party" by Rev. Wallace r. Struble.
Evangelist. 1t Is printed at Colon,
Mich, where Mr. Struble is at present
"evangelizing." On the cover is a pic
ture of his satanic majesty, seated on
the base of a column, around which
one of his arms is placed He wears
a panied expression of countenance,
and has two cloven feet and no tail,
which is supposed to be the Michigan
style. while a large, healthy looking
black snake, ornamented with red
spots and a barbed tail lies across his
lap and encircles the pillar, its mouth
being in the act of Selling a spear.
This spear issues from a black corner
of the cover, ornamented by a number
of death heads, where Mr.. Struble is
supposed to be hidden in ambush, en-
deavoring to jab the spear into the
DEVILS thorax.
1.-The authors countenance" forms a
frontispiece for the pamphlet, and
from his sleek, well-fed appearance 1t
Is evident that Rev. Mr.. Struble,
though in Michigan, is enjoying life
much better than the party he is jab-
bling at. In an accompanying note
Rev. Struble, who for the benefit OF
those who do not know him, 1t may be
said was born and educated In Port
land states that the brochure embod-
les his ideas respecting the formation
of "a Christian political party" which
he considers essential to the well-be-
ing of the American government, and
gives permission to publish limited
extracts therefrom. Mr.. Struble's ideas
on politics seem to be in line with
those of at least one reverend and sew
eral politicians of this city, but while
the latter confine themselves to jab-
bling at the city administration and
subordinates of the devil generally.
Rev. Mr.. Struble flies at higher game,
and with his glittering spear prods the
father of all evil himself. What with
the publication of Letters from He'll, "
THE Sorrows of Satan" and now this
dreadful jab at him, 1t is evident the
| devil is having very distressful time,
| but 1t is hard to see any reason why,
| in hell, he shouldn't.

GAVE HIM TIT FOR TAT.
How Senator Allison Resented an Insult
| In a German Railway Car.

How Senator Allison Resented an Insult
In a German Railway Car.
From he Washington Post.
Allison, shortly after his return
from Europe" said a representative,
told me a story illustrative of the
man, and which speaks of the cool
force as we'll as the absolute logic
which are so strongly characteristic OF
the senator.
~ was riding on a German railway
where they lock up small huddles OF
passengers in compartments.
There were three people In our
compartment. A big-mustached, war
like person-and 1 still take him to be
one of the nobility of that region-sat
at one window of the compartment,
while 1 sat at the other; there were on
ly two windows.
MY window was up, for l like
little fresh air, and was gazing out at
the landscape racing by, and sniffiing
the breezes.
Suddenly, and without a word to
me, whether of excuse or explanation,
the man with the noble air and the
war mustache arose and, stepping
around to my seat, put down my WIN
dow. Then he returned to his own
perch and settled himself again with
much of massive phlegm and calm. He
paid not the least heed to me from first
to last.
Ito say that l was astonished at
the insolence of the action might faint
ly express my feelings. but the whole
affair was such a surprise, so unlocked
for, that before l recovered to the
point where l might have interfered, II
was all over. The deed was done; my
window was down. Now. what do you
think did,"
"'Can't say I replied. Put your
window up again. =.
YOU'RE wrong replied Allison. i
did not put my window up; at least,
not at that moment. After second
thought I stepped around to the seat
of my noble stranger, and put his win
dow up. Didn't l do right?"
Absolutely right 1 answered. He
had your window down and what the
Mills men used to call during the
Crisp Mills speakership fight, "the log
&c of the situation" was to put his win
| dow up. You were accurately correct IN
what you did. What did your war-llke
| man say|
mot a word said Allison. II ne
| had resented it, sir, / would have de-
| Tended myself. AS 1t was, however, he
| did nothing; said nothing. His window
remained open, and his mouth closed
although 1 could see by his eyes thai
| he was thinking deeply"

Bum O'Brien came into town again
yesterday from his seclusion on ranch
in the valley. He struck a job, earned
a dollar, which he invested in whiskey,
and speedily drank himself uncon-
scious. He was found by the police
sleeping in an alley on the snow-cov-
cred ground, and was given a bunk in
the jail. Yesterday morning he was
arraigned before Justice Kennedy, who
sentenced O'Brien to 30 days in Jail, but
suspended sentence on the agreement

three months

MINES FLOODED.

Retaliation of Owners Because of a
Long Strike.
Leadville, Col, Aug, 31.-The pumps
in the Bon Air and Penrose mines, two
of the largest properties in this dis
trict, have been stopped and the mines
are rapidly filling with water. Moore
and Smith, owners of these and sew
eral other deep mines here, announce
that they shall stop the pumps in all
of them. This will cause the flooding
of nearly every mine in the richest
part of the district, entailing loss of
unheard of thousands of dollars in
damage to the workings. Some of the
mines will be abandoned perma-
nently.
This action is the result of the strike
which was inaugurated five years ago
and seems no nearer settlement than
when it began. There has been no
disturbances.

became hourly more apparent
until the streets were crowded long
before noon hour and strains of mu-
sic from bands and drum corps could
be heard on every hand. Commander

we'd at noon. He was at once escort

MONEY BEING REMOVED TO
CANADA.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 31.-The silver
agitation on this side of the border
has resulted in extensive deposits be-
ing withdrawn from banks here with
in the last few days and taken across
the river to Canada and deposited in
Canadian banks. Local bankers say
that Withdrawals have been very
heavy for the last week, and the cash
iers of institutions on the other side
say that they have had deposits of up
wards of $4,000 within the last few
days from Americans, and that the
movement still continues.
The movement has attained such
proportions that several of the Wind
sor (Ont) banks have had to reduce
their rate of interest on these Ameri-
can deposits from 49, per cent, their
regular rate, to 215, and in several
cases to 2 per cent, while one bank
has decided to refuse to pay any in
terest at all. Those who have been
placing their cash in the Canadian
banks say they have done so because
Canada is gold standard country,
and their money will not thus suffer
any depreciation through the adoption
of free coinage on this side of the line.
