Republican CormOrants.

WAsHINGToN, March The great
number Of contesting delegates from the
south who will knock at the doors of the
republican convention at st. Louis will
impose particularly delicate duty upon
the national committee, whose duty it is
to make a temporary roll of the conven-
ton. One of the ante. convention stories
which gained currency today was to the
effect that the secretary OF the national
committee, Manly Of Maine, Will have
power to make a temporary roll and may
admit to the floor whatever delegates ne
chooses This statement is altogether
incorrect, for although the clerk Of the
house of representatives makes up the
rolls of the house at the beginning Of
congress, no such authority has ever
been given to the secretary of the ma
tional republican convention committee
the roll being made by that committee
while the committee on credentials is
appointed by the convention.

THE MONTANA CENTRAL

Elects New Board of Directors and
Officers.
The stockholders of the Montana Cen

were only a few persons present, but
they were we'll supplied with proxies.
The following board of directors was
elected:
j. j. Hill St Paul; Sam Hill, Mime
apols; A. j. Shores, Gold II. Curtis, and
w. G. Toomey of Great Falls. The only
change from the old board OF directors
is found in the fact that G. w. Cannon
and W. A. Chessman of Helena retire
from the board and their places are
filled by Gold II. Curtis and w. G..
Toomey of this city.
There is also change in the officers.
j. j. Hill is elected president in the
place of Sam Hill. A. j. Shores is re-
elected vice-president and W. &.

COUNTY ROADS.
The County Prisoners viii Have "A Chance
TO Build Them.

~ 1heHls
From Saturday s Daily.
The board of county commissioners
will take up the subject Of county roads
today and will probably name most Of
Two new road districts were created in
the southeastern portion Of the county,
the new districts being arranged with a
view 10 economics the waste Of time
caused by the supervisor being obliged
to travel over long distances and widely
separated pieces Of road in order to gel
over his district. The proposition of ap-
portlon!ng the road money among the
several districts as the law contempiatea,
does not meet with the approval of the
board. One grave objection to carrying
out the intent of the laW IN this respect
is that it might interfere with the euol-
uments OF some Of the pet supervisors of
Chairman Ellis.
That the present system has proved
expensive and eXtravagant is conceded
by most people VITO are familiar with its
workings. Commissioner Dickey favors
putting all the roads under the care of
one salarled supervisor. Auditor Beach
y fEvors dividing the road fund among
the several Districts pro rata, according
to the ru es Of public roads, in each dis.
trict. Commissioner Hay is inclined TO
think some change from the present sys-
tenn would be beneficial. but has not
quite made up his mind as to the most
desirable system. 1t is probable the old
way will be continued and some district
supervisors will get their hands deeply
into the common road purse while other
districts will get far less than their just
share.
Auditor Beachly has completed ar
rangements with the townsite company
for the lease of a lot adjoining the
county Jail, and this lot will be sur
sounded by high board fence and used
for exercise by the county prisoners
This exercise will consist of program,
in which large rock pile and a set OF
sledge hammers will be the principal
accessories. while the able bodied pris.
| oners will furnish the performers. Mr..
| Beachly has made arrangements with
| the railroad company to secure specia
rates on hauling lime rock in from Log
| glng creek for this purpose, and he has
already ordered couple OF carloads
| which will soon be on the ground
| For a long time there has
been talk of the desirability of employ
ing the county prisoners IN some kind o
labor, and at last the matter appears t.
be close to plishment, In shor
time the county will have at its dispoea
a large amount of the best material TO
the construction of macadamiZed roads
and ii is to be hoped that it will com
! mpnce at least on the work of construct
ing permanent highways in this count
that will be credit to it and show tha
the residents OF Cascade county are u
to the times, and in line with the marc
of modern ideas about road construction

QUICK STAMPEDE OF MEMBERS
Very Exciting Scenes at the Joint
Session of the Kentucky
Legislature.

CINCINNATI, March IA Commercial
Gazette special from Frankfort says the
senatorial contest today resulted in
stampede on one ballot and a panic on
the other, and borlercd on a riot in
both. The friends of Senator Blackburn
thought he was elected at the end of the
first ballot and began celebrating Be
fore the confusion subsidized and the an
nouncement could be made word was
sent everywhere that Blackburn was
elected. 1t was mistake that was
easily made during such a stampede, but
it is the general opinion that it required
great efforts to prevent the election of
Secretary Carlisle on the next ballot.
The republican leaders in the house be-
came confused, if not demoralized, early
in the morning, when they permitted
the postponement of the Dunlap -kauf
mann contest until Monday instead of
carrying out the decree of last nights
caucus to GUST Kaufman the first thing
and get Dunlap in before the democrats
could retaliate previous to joint ballot.
The key to the contest was pair be-
tween Weiseinger, hard money, demo-
crat, and Chambers. republican. When
it became evident that until this pair
was broken Black burn would be elected,
Welssinger, from his sick bed in the
hotel, released Chambers, if the latter
would vote for Carlisle, This act de-
feated Blackburn, as the stampede had
reached its climax. The sound money
democrats had gone over to Blackburn.
while the republicans were rushing to
Carlisle. The vote of Chambers for Car
Isle created more excitement than all
the gavele. presiding officers and ser
geant at arms could control. There was
panic when Lyons, republican of New
port, said he would vote for Blackburn
if the republicans went to Carlisle.
Tonight both sides are holding con-
ference for the contest Monday and the
feeling on both sides is intense.
Without Weiesinger Internationally
paired Blackburn cannot be elected.
The republicans will pair with Weissn-
ger only on condition that the member
pairing with him be allowed to vote for
Carlisle. Violatta and Carroll may come
to Blackburn, Speight voted for Black
bnrn today for the first time and de-
clares tonight that he will never do 80
again. The republicans insist that they
will seat Dunlap in Kaufmsnns place
Monday before there is another joint
ballot.
The first ballot today was: Black
burn, GO; Boyle, SO; Carlisle, s. The
second ballot resulted: Blackburn, 49,;
Carlisle, Is. Total, Ga; which the chair
decided was not quorum.
Senator Jones then moved that the
assembly adjourn until Monday at noon,
and the exciting times were over until
| Monday.

j. NJ. simpson is Accused of DESERVING
His Wife Under Aggravated Cir
CumstanCes.

y. NJ. simpson LIS Accused OF Deseftlhs
His Wife Under Aggravated Cir
cunstances.
]. M. Simpson, we'll known musician
of this city, who has been for some years
past employed in variety theater, is
charged with deserting his wife in this
city, under circumstances which make
the oitense a particularly disgraceful
one. Some mouths ago, Mrs. Simpson
left to visit relatives in the east with her
husbands approval, the understanding
being that he should close up his bust
ness affairs here and join her in the east,
after which the couple had planned to
leave for Alaska. lu appears, however,
that Mrs. Simpson had scarcely left town
when her recreant spouse took up his
residence with frankie Dubois, the pro-
prietress of house of i'll fame on Second
street. A little later he took his house
hold furniture from the family resi-
dence and presented it to the Dubois
woman to furnish larger place of resort
than the one she WAS running He
wrote to his wife and endeavored on
false pretenses to get her to sign mort
gage on small property owned by them
on the west side, but the wife was sus-
piciOus that things were not as repre-
sented, and, instead of signing the pa
pers, returned unexpectedly to Great
Falls about u week ago. Here she soon
learned the full facts in the case, bat
with unusual generosity listened to his
profuse protestations Of penitence and
sorrow for his conduct, forgave him and
condoned his otfense. Tuesday morning,
Simpson bade his wife an atfection4te
farewell and left, as he said, for Mis-
soula, where he bad secured work and
where, he assured his wife, he was de-
termined to lead new life among better
surroundings than he had here. He was
to send his wife money to follow after
him as soon as he had selected
a new home. His wife trust
ingly bid him goodbye. The next
day she learned that frankie Dubois,
fatuated, had sold out her place and ac-
companied Simpson on the trip. The
couple left the train at Helena, where
they registered at hotel as man and
wife, atterward leaving on the Northern
from Mlseoula states that he had no
work there and was not expected there.
The deserted wife is we'll known here as
a Christian lady, enjoying the respect
and esteem of all her acquaintances.
She feels the disgrace attaching to her
husbands conduct very keenly. although
her own conduct in the unfortunate cir
cumstances has been irreproachable. 1t
is probable that legal steps for separa
tion will soop be taken. Meantime Mrs.
Simpson has the sympathy of all those
acquainted with the rascally conduct Of
her husband
