The sensation has not yet died away
which was created when it became
known that a prominent Episcopal cler-
gyman in New York city deliberately
preached for his own on Easter Sunday a
sermon that had been written some years
before by another preacher-he. too, a
Unitarian, worse luck! The Outlook says
on this subject. "He who uses another
mans thoughts as though they We're his
own, hat he may obtain an undoserved
reputation by passing them off as his
own, is az truly dishonest as the man
who filches a purse from the pocket or
a loaf of bread from the bakery, and in
some respects is the worse of the two.

which is the most desirable bullet for
waging war-a small one that cuts a
round hole clean through what it hits,
making u wound that is smooth edged
and easily healed, or, on the other hand,
the heavier. mere slowly moving ball
which smashCs bones and makes great
tearing, Jagged wounds that are dan

would have the ADVANTAGE OF the two

No More Wild West.

The wild west is to exist no moro,
even in a show, it seems, since Colonel
Buffalo Bill Cody is soon to give up the
colossal travelling colony of which he
was the head. Fifty years from now
gray haired men and women will tell
their grandchildren how they saw the
cowboys, the great bisons and the wild
Cossack riders Of the Don in Buffalo
Bills show, with Colonel Cody himself,
looking as fine as a tabled centaur and
knowing it full well, none better, rid
ing around the ring at each perform
ance with his gray broad brimmcd cow
boy hat in his hand, amid the ringing
plaudits Of the multitude. :
Many will be sorry that good old
show is TO quit. When it does SO, the
historical museums Of this country will
be remiss if they do not secure photo
graphs Of its cowboys, its bisons. its
ancient stage coach, its pioneer cabin
aud its Indians. They represent a stage
in civilization that is unique in the
worlds story.
Meantime good luck go with Colonel
Cody. Buffalo Bill. May his model col
ony on the banks Of the Shoshone river,
30 miles from Yellowstone park, be all
that he hopes to make it. Good luck go
with him, for he gave the boys and girls

country-a brave show, and genuinely

The Annual Meeting

The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton held it's annual meeting in the
Baptist church last Sunday evening.
President Buckmaster's report showed
that good work had been done during
the past year. Sufficient money has
been pledged to pay all bills, which
they hope to be able to collect in prior
to the state convention.
On Sunday evening G. B. Willis, of
Milwaukee, had charge of the meeting.
His address was very we'll received. He
also took in hand the raising of money
for the coming years current expenses.
Financially the outlook for the associa-
ton never was better. The young men
are busy now getting ready for the
state convention. which is to be held in
this city Oct. IA.

A MUSICAL TREAT.
KenOsha Music Lovers May Hear the
Phenomenal Boy Soprano.


On Thursday evening, Sept. IL, at s
o'closk, Mrs. Nelson A. Pennoyer has
arranged to have a musicale at the
Sanitarium for the benefit of St. Mary's
home for children. anA
The program will consist of music,
both vocal and instrumental. Among
the various numbers on the program is
one by Master Scott Northrup, of Ha-
vana, ILL.,, the wonderful boy soprano
whose range is three octayes and three
notes, the highest note being one oc-
tave above high b fiat The male
quartette, of Hahnemann College, Chi
cago, will render selections and differ
ent members of the club will render So
los, duets, etc. A fine violinist and
pianist from Waukegan will take part;
also DR.. A. K. Crawford, of Chicago,
and various guests Of the Sanitarium.
It may be safely stated that the OPP
portunity is we'll worth embracing, and
it is hoped that the music lovers of the
town will show their appreciation of it.
Moreover, they may at the same time
help worthy cause. as this home is
doing a great work and all dependent
upon the charitable gifts of friends.

often quoted by the silverites, he said
that money and these products had
borne no relation to each other at any
time. Whether money went up or
down, these products had not followed
it either way, and he quoted statistics
in support of the assertion.
Silver would mean monometallism.
1t could not be otherwise, but the vol
ume Of currency has nothing to do with
prices. The 50-cent dollar would cut

He closed in grand peroration on
the great achievements of the repub-

and called forth salvos of applause
which fairly shook the house.
Three rousing cheers were then given
for Mckinley and the first grand rally
of the campaign was over.

Mr.. Hough Gives Ills side of the Cosi-
Weigh Controversy
Mr.. Hough. manager of the Western
Fuel company takes exception to the
criticisms passed on him in committee
meeting Tuesday evening by City En-
gineer Blackford, Alderman Montgomery
and others He made the following state
ment to a Standard reporter yesterday;
mr.. Blackford wanted to have his ton
of coal weighed at Sloan q McGoVern's
scales. which we do not consider as ac-
curate as ours. but we weighed on both
scales and / have the certificate signed
by Mr.. Sloan showing the weight on his
scales BY our scales the total weight
was 8 700 pounds. The wagon weighed In
at 200, which left just 1000 pounds Of
coal By Sloan G. McGovern's scales the
total weight was 1925 pounds, and the
wagon weighed in at LIS, leaving 2,2OO
pounds of coal. Now, Mr.. Blackford's
proposition was to pay according to Sloan
q McGoyern's scales and so he will have
to pay for 1900 pounds of coal instead OF
for one ton.
Alderman Montgomery claimed that
he ordered two tons of coal and Is GER
tain he only got 5000 pounds. l notice
that Mr.. Montgomery hasn't even paid
for the 5000 pounds yet, and i think he
should withhold his criticisms until he
pays his bills. We delivered him coal in
September, which we are still carrying
for him. No doubt he is good for 1t, but
he ought to square up his account before
he goes around roasting us unjustly. on
the two tons he spoke of he got car load
rates as a special favor and should have
been certain of his point before critics.

been offered to the city for s4.700. The
matter was referred to the judiciary
committee.
A letter was read from II. G. Kessler,
colonel of the First infantry. n. G.. M,
in which he stated that the three mil
itia companies in Butte were without
funds and were unable to pay any rent
for the armory in the basement OF the
library building. He had found that
other cities furnished armories free OF
charge and thought that Butte should
do likewise.
Cook stated that the last legislature
had increased the annual appropriation
for each company of the militia from
$500 to $500 and he believed that the
three companies in Butte should pay
and were able to pay a reasonable
rental for the armory. A suggestion
by Pascoe that the county should pay
half of the rental of the armory met
with a great deal of approval and the
matter was referred to the public
building committee.
The sprinkling ordinance then came
UP for it's third reading. briggs NOV
ed that Alaska street between Quartz
and Granite be stricken out and not
sprinkled. He said that the street was
narrow and not built up and that the
tax would be excessive. After some
cross-firing IL was decided, on motion
of Cook, to refer the ordinance BACK
to the judiciary and sprinkling COM
mittees with instructions to put all OF
the narrow streets in the city In a
separate district and thus equalize the
assessment Byrne thought Cooks mo-
ton a wise one, "or," he added, the al
dermen who are overburdened with
property might turn ii over to the poor
who will be able to take care OF IT,
The council then adjourned until
next Wednesday, when II will clear up
the business of the year.
