WHAT do the democrats say now :
When all branches of the govern

the purchasing clause of the Sher-

are half way in the saddle the senate
passes a free coinage bill. Wonder
if Montana democrats in their next
convention viii re-indorse the saga
cious administration of the exalted
mutton-head who now holds the
blooming big situation?

AFTER a great scare of dlptheria,
an absolute quarantine, schools
closed for weeks, tons of disinfects
consumed, the people of Great Falls,
Belt and Sand Coulee are told that
there is no diptheria and that there
has not been a single case of that
disease in all the time when the
towns were quarantined. A physi-
clan who does not know diptheria
from follicular tonsilitis should not
be allowed to practice. And one
who will create a scare of the former
on symptoms of the latter ought to
be kept in the p~enitentiary. 1t ap.
pears from the evidence that some
doctors of medicine are really no
more honorable than other men.

IN DISGRACE.
Consul Hammond at Buda Pesth Ac-
 cused of Various Lapses.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The state department has requested Edward P. Hammond, United States consul at Buda Pesth, to forward his resignation because of a list of charges that he had made himself obnoxious to the coun- try to which he was accredited.
 One particular charge is that May 3, when Count Festetics gave a bali, which was attended by the king of Hungary, MT. Hammond went to the ball without being invited and asked the Couitess Festetics, the duchess of Hamilton to dance with him, a request which she refused.
 Another charge is that on several oc- casions when representing the United States in an official capacity, he was in- toXicated.
 These charges were forwarded to the department two months ago by Mir. Townsend, secretary of the United States legation, in Vienna The state department requested Consul General Judd at Vienna to investigate these al legations, and that official, with g promptness very unusual in state de. partment matters, returned a report sustaining all the charges. He added that Consul Hammond was persona non grata with the government O. Austro-Hungary.

 There were thirteen people in the Mckinney house when the water com menced to rise at g o'clock last night but no serious danger was appre- hended until the men busted them selves carrying household goods to the second floor and the female population of the house continued their dressing for a dance which was being held in g neighboring hall Suddenly the house a two-story frame, was washed from its foundation into the seething waters and was rapidly carried down stream It was then too late for any one il the house to escape.
 Below the site of the house, about 20t yards, stands an old fashioned countr! bridge, which spans the stream. Th. | house crashed against this structure I the roof was torn off and the rest O
 the building was crushed like an eg, shell in being forced under the bridge

Colorado Mining Camps Almost Out

DENVER, July 29.-As a sequel to the series of cloudbursts there is a new and serious trouble confronting the people It will take a month or even more for the railroads reaching several of the most important mining camps to make sufficient repairs to enable the running of trains.
 All of these camps depend on Den yer for their daily supply of provis- ions and stocks. General depopula- tion of the towns and suspension oi mining operations until such time as the railroads are able to care for the requirements of the residents is moi improbable.
 On Saturday the second cloudburs overlook several teams that had beer sent into the foothills for the purpos, of bringing in the bodies Of the dead and it was only by shouldering corpse. that the searchers succeeded in re gaining the lower level

Tramp Assaults a Woman-Pursued and Will Probably Be Caught.

JEFFERSON, Kan, July 29.-While Mrs. Frank Oldfeld, living about four miles north of Canton, was in her garden she was accosted by tramp. who demanded of her to get him some breakfast. She told him she would get him something in a few minutes and continued working in the garden. The tramp, thinking she was alone, caught her, threw her down, choked her and began tearing her clothes. She screamed and attracted the attention of her husband in the house, who came to her rescue. MT. Oldfield pursued the tramp into a cornfield and lost track of him. He notified the nelghbors and soon 100 armed men were in pursuit. About 12 o'clock he stopped at farm house about six miles north of MT. Oldfeld's and asked for dinner. The farmer had heard of the assault, and suspecting him to be the guilty man captured him and took him to Canton where he was identified by Mrs. Old field There is much excitement and talk of lynching. The sheriff was tel egraphed for and hastened to the
 scene There is a strong probability that he will be lynched before the sheriff arrives.

Active Measures Must Be Taken to Combat the Silver Sentiment
 Ready for the Stump.

CLEVELAND, July 29. - Senator Sherman, who was here several days last week to participate in the centen- nial exercises, is alarmed at the growth of the silver sentiment in certain com munities. He told Major Mckinley that his voluminous correspondence was laden with inquiries about the money question, and that he was of the opinion that the most active meas ures to combat the silver sentiment ought to be taken at once He urges Hanna and Mckinley to have speak ing campaign begin at once, and said he was willing to take the stump at a moments notice. Other Republicans of prominence such as Senator Hawley and ex-Governor Merriam of Minne- sota have expressed themselves to the same effect.
 Mckinley and his managers have reached the conclusion that the best results this year will be attained by holding an uncommonly large number of political meetings. It is believed it will be difficult to get the people to read heavy congressional speeches or the money question, or other long documents. On the other hand, there is abundant evidence of a lively de mand for clear, crisp, simple talks or the money question and for short ar ticles and leaflets bearing upon it. Int committee will keep hundreds O. speakers at work in the field instead O sending out millions of dreary docu ments. Mckinley and Hanna are O one mind on this point, and the neces sary orders to the clerk in charge O this work will be given at once.

The Tribune from Duluth, Minnesota, says: Louis LeCount, who was mur- dered on the prairies near this place in the '40s, seems doomed to have no rest, even after the grave closed upon him.
 Some weeks ago Le-Count's grave was discovered by accident in northern Minnesota and the body was exhumed It was found to be completely petri- fed and the exhumers started out to
 sl6 it as a curiosity in the Red alley country. The owner of the farm on which the body was found brought suit and had it replevined. Then they had it kept in a cell in the Polk county jail for three days and guarded by armed men. Bonds were finally given by the exhumers, and the latter took the petrifaction across into North Dakota.
 A few days ago the sons of the dead man went to Fargo with a warrant charging the exhumers with grave robbery. The Dakota authorities failed to promptly observe the requi- sition of the Minnesota governor, and during the day George Holmes, the owner of 40 per cent of the freak, be. came involved in a dispute with Nc pherin, who owns the rest of it, ant the latter shipped the petrifactioa away during the might, and ran it ove to Winnepeg.
 Holmes and the LeCountes hau gone to Winnipeg to fight for the body

LONDON SEASON ENDED.
People of Fashion Off for the Country. Queen Likes Consuelo.

LONDON, July 29.-With the pres ent week the London season comes to an end. Indeed, there has been al ready a large exodus of fashionable people to the countTS. where for some time to come Vanity, Fair will have full course. The royal wedding at Buckingham palace was, of course, the chief social event of the week. On that day all the big houses and clubs in Picadilly had large luncheon parties to see the procession. The Bach elors' club, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and Mrs. Bradley H. Martin were among those who had smart assem plies.
 A society paper says Queen Victoria has taken quite a fancy to the Duchess of Marlborough, formerly Miss Con- suelo Vanderbilt According to this high authority: Her majesty is not generally partial to Americans who capture people, and her cordiality in the case of the Duchess of Marlborough has been remarked in court circles as quite unusual"
 Dorothea Baird's marriage to Henry B. Irving, which took place on Mon day, quite rivaled the wedding two days later of the Princess Maude and Prince Charles of Denmark, in the | public attention, attracting a crowd numbering into the thousands, which | blocked the street in front of the church where the ceremony was per- formed, and in the vicinity of the house where subsequently a reception was given. The crowd called "Trilby' until the bride appeared upon the bal. cony and drank a glass of champagne to their health.

SHE COULD, YOU KNOW.
Got Up, but Buckets and Ropes Took
 Her Down.

OAKLAND, July 29.-Oakland girls are not to be outdone in perilous ad- ventures by their big brothers. The latest feat to be recorded is that of Miss Sadie Myerfriend of this city who has been spending her vacation at Skaggs Springs
 Last Thursday she was one of . party that started out upon a mountain climbing expedition. They reached a high precipitous rock which the boys declared could not be climbed by the ladies. Miss Myerfriend decided that she could climb it and straightway set about it. Step by step she made her way slowly and cautiously. Her friends held their breath, fearing misstep would dash her to pieces. At last she reached the summit and sat down to enjoy her triumph.
 Finally she turned her thoughts to the descent and then was not so Jubilant. Going down was different to climbing up. She could only sit there and wait until some one came to her rescue The party below saw her pre- dlcament and one of them made a quick trip to the nearest place at which help could be had, four miles away, and secured ropes, a ladder and a bucket and two of the young men reached the top of the rock with a rope, by means of which, with the bucket, the young lady was lowered to the ground.

Brave Work of Engineer of the Cape
 Cod Fast Express

BRIDGEWATER, Mass, July 29.- A serious railroad accident was avert ed this morning by the courage of En- gfneer John Abbott.
 As the fast Cape express was near ing the Bridgewater station at the rate of fifty miles an hour, the con meeting rod on the engineers side broke.

 The fireman jumped, but Abbott stuck to his post and succeeded in shutting off steam and applying the brake. He was burned by the steam and one hand was quite badly cut The passengers look upon him as a hero, and are loud in his praise. The train was on a high embankment wher the accident happened.

Clark was accidentally killed in San Francisco a week ago. The home of his boyhood was Atlanta, Pa., and his widow decided to take his body there for burial. AS is customary in such cases, Mrs. Clark bought two tickets one for herself and one for the dead. The body was checked, she supposed, over the Southern Pacific railway to Kansas City, but when she arrived here Friday night the husbands body was missing. She was overcome with grief and fright until, by the gen. erous use of telegrams, it was discov- cred that it had been checked to Den yer by mistake and would arrive here tomorrow night, when the sad journey to the little town in Pennsylvania will be resumed.

A Raid Made on a Gam
 bling Den.
The Proprietor Says it Is a
 Social Club.
A Game Where Four Aces Is No Coco and Full Houses Are
 Common,

Deputy Marshal Webster yesterday afternoon raided a gambling game patronized by the colored gentlemen on Monroe street and arrested the al- legged proprietor, John Morris. The inmates numbered about twenty per sons and the whole shooting were taken along as witnesses against Morris.
 The complaining witness was the city tax collector. The collector called on Morris to pay his license for con- ducting gambling house, but he de- murred on the grounds that the place was not a gambling house, but social club, saIh.
 About mine of the outfit appeared for Morris, but the balance having lost by coming in contact with the tiger, gave evidence against him. Morris de fense was that he was not proprietor of the place, but that it was only a club where ice water and other light drinks were served to the mem bers, he being one of the number. He ac- l knowledged that they played poker, I but only for amusement, your honor. His nine henchmen, who were evident ly cappers, backed him up in his state ment. The witnesses for the prosecu- tion rolled their eyes heavenward and said, 'tfoh de Lord,' as they listened to the virtuous denials of Morris and his crowd One of the prosecution's s witnesses said: ''Jedge, de gemmen dat says it is not a gambling game am prognisticators. He meant pre- varicators). Sunday night" he con- tinued, q held four aces, but dey scoop de pot Several others testified to having held fushes, straights, full houses, etc., but somehow or other the game always ended in favor of the house. It was run on the percentage order and when one of the men who had a couple of 21a chips shaved down
 a pair one of his chips was taken as
 percentage. Nobody but a "capper' , Twas known to ever come out ahead
 of the game, SO the social club where cards were played for amusement must have thrived we'll. It was better
 than a circus to-hear some of the wit
 nesses give in testimony against the
 Darktown Poker club whose motto is
 "A bird in de hand am worth two in
 de bush"
 , The case will be continued this
 morning, but in the meantime thf
 game is temporarily closed.
