"A aston Railroad Car Loaded Every
Three Minutes.
For some months past the A. G. M
company coal department has been
making extensive improvements in and
around No. 2 mine, with view to in,
creasing the output. The main entry
has been Strengthened SO that now there
is not a curve for the entire distance oi
the main track, $500 feet, and a new
Phillips tipple, latest improved, has re.
placed the old one. With this new tip
pie railroad car of Is tons capacity can
be loaded every three minutes, 400 tons
HI hour and 1000 tons per day of II
hours. It is the intention TO have all
the coal from the mines dumped over
this tipple, and to this end No. will
shortly be abandoned, The coal has
shown marked improvement within
the past few months, both 10 quality ano
quantity, and with their increased facili
ties, the company are now able to meet al
demands made upon them. At presen
they are shipping, on an average, 80 car.

quires four trains daily between hert

THE CAT GOT OUT Of THE BAG
How The Mckinley Candidates on the
County Ticket Planned
a Coup.
They Were to Pull Mantle into the
Scheme and Fool the Voters on
the Silver Issue.

The cat is now out of the bag and the
scheme of the Mckinley republican
county candidates to try and square
themselves with the loyal silver voters
by death bed repentance, embracing a
declaration for Hartman at big meet
ing few days before election, is public
property. The scheme included an in
vitation to Lee Mantle to come to Great
Falls and address a meeting for Hart
man at which all the candidates were to
declare themselves for Hartman and free
silver (ssying nothing about Mckinley,
and Mantle was to give them his bless
ing, and in this way it was hoped some
of the curse which has attached to their
cowardly and pusillanimous silence on
the one issue which is absorbing the at
tention of the voters might be taken off.
To the Goddard men, who kicked on
this proposition, it was explained that it
was matter of necessity, that it had come
to a question Of pulling the wool over
the eyes of the silver republicans or
losing the offices, and when this ques-
tion confronts them no true Mckinley
man should hesitate at any means that
promises an office. This explanation
goes all right with the politicians, but
trere is a radical element among the
McKinleyites that will not swallow it,
and they promise to make trouble.
Meantime, The whole scheme is liable to
go overheard through the failure of Sen
ator Mantle to walk into the trap laid
for him. Some of the boys in their en-
thusiasm over the scheme gave it away
in all its details, and the result was that
Mantle got hint of the situation and
reconsidered his half promise to come to
Great Falls and hold Hart
man meeting. This indiscretion 80
disgusted Chairman Tallant, who had
planned the whole job, that he threw up
his job as chairman of the aggregation
and retired to the country, leaving the
committee in terrible mess over the
situation. Under these conditions the
candidates don't know just what to do
The Goddard men and the Hartman men
on the committee are spending most OF
their time in mutual recIiminations and
accusations, and the candidates have
adopted the good old fashioned rule Of
every man for himself and the devil take
the hindmost.

1t is probable that at first thought most
persons would be inclined to doubt the ac-
curacy Of the old saying that II horse 5
head is as long rs a flour barrel. Flour
barrels vary somewhat in length Some
are made sto,ltcr and shorter, some slender
and little higher. An average flour bar
rel is about % inches in height.
A man t. whom the old saying was IA
milan made up his mind tho other day to
SEQ for himself just how near right it was,
and he measured the heads Of three horses.
One of these horses was said to have rather
II largo head for its size, 1t wasn't Il very
big horse. This horses head, exclusive of
tho cars, measured rs inches in length.
The heads of the two other horses, which
were horses of fair average size, with aver
age heads, measured, one, 81 inches, the
other 27l \ inches. So that this inycstiga-
tor discovered that tho old saying was sub
stantially true New York sun.

POETS OF SOUTH AMERICA.
Their Creations Have Been Marvellous q
Voices of Spanish Life.

Their Creations Have Been Marvellous as
Voices of Spanish Life.
Some of the most beautiful and SYM
pathetic interpretations of life in verse
that have been made during recent years
have come from the pens of the Latin
American poets, and yet these writer's are
but little read outside Of their own coun-
tries Tho list Of those who have written
inspired poems in the present generation
in the mellow and melodious language Of
Calderon and Cervantes Is long, and 1t in
cludes those whose personal history has
been as remarkable and picturesque as the
work that they have produced. In South
America the poems that have found favor
have been voices of life; the experience
has been the soil Of the orchid and the rea-
son for it, In the land of picture and
bloom, Of the bllowy pampas and the
cleaning Andes, poems are the creations
of what these singers have felt or done
they bloom.
During q recent visit to the Argentine
Republic and to Chile it was my privilege
to meet Scnor Don de Ia Barra, the friend
Of Balmaceda and once the Chilean minis
ter to England, the author of several books
on Greek forms of verse and on rhythmic
expression, one of the most courtly and
scholarly men in literature. He wrote the
grand ode which opened the Chilean expo
sition, one of the few OF the poetic inter-
prctations of art and science that in recent
times have been adequate to really great
occasions In this ode one hears the music
of tho march of machinery and finds his
heart in the new triumphant progress and
sees the soul of the living and inspiring
ago.
met in Buenos Ayres Scnor Carlos
Guido y Spano the Longfellow Of Argen-
tina most lovely and beautiful charac-
ter, whose Identification of his work with
his life is as marked. Ho won the heart of
tho Argcntines by his sympathy with the
public suffering during tho yellow fever
epidemic in 1871. He is an old man now;
he has come out of life in public service
with clean hands and, like many who have
lived for others, has not accumulated for
tune for himself. But he has gained that
which is more than material wealth. The
people of the purple republic are very proud
of their venerable poet, of his philanthro-
py and integrity us we'll as his verse, and
they are about to present to him q home
and tribute out of their ample purses
that he who has loved them may pass his
serene old age amid the evidences of their
grateful fcction.-Rcview of Reviews

A FAKE HOLD.UP.
Andrew Fl1nck Gives the Police IN Fx-

CllnE run, nut Comes to Grief
Himself.
Monday afternoon the police depart
ment had little excitement that broke
the monotony of the plain drunk and
petty larceny cases that have for eome
time past been the main features of the
city Jail. Some time in the forenoon a
man who gave his name as Andrew
Flinck and his residence as Highwood
called ut police headquarters and in
quired for the chief. He had a bump on
his head and his nose was swelled as big
as two noses, while his face and mus
tache were covered with blood; and to
cap the climax, L. carried jag OF such
proportions that he could just stand on
his feet lie said he wanted warrant
for man who had punched him" in a
saloon. He was told by the chief that
no warrants would be issued 10
drunken men and was advised to
take his team and start for
home or he would get run in.

no more about the matter. About $3.50
Monday afternoon the telephone bell
rang excitedly and message came to
the station from the electric light power
house to the effect that q rancher had
just been held up by two highwaymen.
robbed of bis money and team, and
brutally beaten over the head besides.
The chief at once ordered double
seated rig, called to his assistance several
officers from the beats, and arming them
with shotguns and rifles, started on the
dead gallop for the scene of the sup
posed crime. When they arrived at the
power house the chief found his High
wood visitor of the forenoon there ex-
hibiting bis cuts and bruises and claim
ing that they were inflicted by two
desperate highwaymen about halt
an hour before while on his way
home mile or go from the
city. The chiefs disgust can be i'm
agined, but hardly described in family
newspaper. He put Flinck under ar
rest and then drove out toward the sill
yer smelter, where the alleged robbery
was supposed to have been committed,
and found the team standing in the road
and couple Of men lying on the grass
beside it, waiting for Flinck's return.
They we're Scandinavians, on their way to
Belt, and Flinck had invited them to ride
with him. When he got about a mile
from town he stopped and asked them to
wait with the team while he went to the
smelter to collect bill, and then he
went to the power-house and told them
the cock and bull story about his being
beaten and robbed. He was fined S5C
and costs and is now in the city jail to
serve out his time, while his team is put
up at Vances stable. The court said
in passing sentence, that he desired to
teach him lesson that would discour.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
The Electric Light ana Boulevard Cues
ttons Discussed.

Inc Eiectr1c LiEht ana boulevard Cues
tions Discussed.
All the aldermen were present at the
city council meeting Monday, Presi-
dent Fitzgerald presiding in the absence
Of the mayor. There was a good deal
of discussion on different subjects, but
not much accomplished.
A sidewalk was ordered built on SEC
ond avenue north. between Fifth and
Sixth streets.
The city engineer was ordered to see
what could be done toward abating q
nuisance said to exist where the eswers
empty into the river at riverside park.
The question of boulevardlng certain
avenues on the plan heretofore drawn
up by the city engineer and described in
Tue TRIBUNE came up for lengthy dis
cussion. 1t was proposed to apply the
new system to Fourth avenue north, but
it was finally decided to lay the matter
over, awaiting some expression in its ia
vor by the property owners affected
thereby. The city engineer was in
structed to remove porch on Fifth ave
nue. south projecting over the sidewalk
line and also Il barn in the alley in the
rear.
The electric light proposition again oc
cupied good deal OF the councils atten-
tion. 1t was stated that the electric
light company was willing to start the
street lights again on the basis Of 50 SO
per light on tive-year contract and $40
per light on three year contract. The
sentiment of most of the aldermen who
spoke on the matter was that no time
contract at any price could be made. 1t
was stated that even after all OF the
next taxes are in the city would be at
least $4,000 over its legal limit of in
debtedness and would have no legal
right to make contract for lights.
Aid. Dunn said he was willing to meet
the company half way, but WAS opposed
to paying such rates for electric light
ing. lie said that in Fresno, Cal, where
coal cost IS a ton, electric lights were
cheaper than here. lie thought the
people we're being bulldozed by the com
pany, and was opposed to giving in to
them. Other aldermen discussed the
propriety of making the company an
offer by the month, without long term
contract, but the subject was finally
dropped without action of any kind,
The council then adjourned.

Patagonia and Chi-chi.

Chi-chi is he name given by the Pata-
gonan natives to u rude sort Of cider which
they brow in the autumn, when tho wild
apples are ripc. Their method Of making
it is simple in the extreme. Pits are dug
in tho earth and carefully lined with the
hides Of horses to prevent any of the juice
soaking into tho earth. Then the apples
arc gathered and thrown into the pits.
They decay and fcrmont and their juice
provides the material for thc grand annual
drinking bout Of the Patagonian men.
The women have learned by experience
what the results Of this bout too frequent.
ly are, so when it commences they go ro!lnd
carefully collecting knives and other dan
gcrous weapons from the men. With these
and with their children they then steal
away and hide in the woods until their
lords and masters shall have drunk them
selves mad and slept themselves sober
again.
It's somewhat sad reflection that these
wild apples are the only legacy left by d
few devoted .Jcsuits, who soon after the
conquest Of south America, set out to con-
vert the P;,ta gonian savagcs. The Jesuits
took with them various implements of Aus-
bandry and European grains and seeds for
cultivation, but they We're all soon murder

SCHOOL BOARD MI ECINt1.

The Boards Time Mainly Taken Up Con-
siderins Bills for Extras.
All the members of the board were
present, except Poole, Saturday night.
The time of the board was taken up
with the consideration of number of
bills for extras. The committee had
gone into these bills with great thor
oughness and Chairman Repath made a
lengthy report on them, which went to
show that the committee had found u
number of small omissions by the con-
tractors in their work as called for in
the specifications. The estimated value
of their omissions was deducted and
materially cut down the bills for extras.
Architect White explained to the board
that many of these omissions were Off
set by other work done, but the board
concluded to deduct them for the pres
ent, at least, until better satisfied that
they were all right. The following esti
mates were allowed, amounting to
S2,67l3 80, which leaves just 81 10 in the
building fund:
A. P Curtin & Co, furniture. Sl,l26;
Twin City Seat company, S25G.25; j. IL.
Donlin, $3.50; G. Minter $50; Murphy
Mac,ay Hardware company, S4Gl,10; IL,
Wildekopf, SSS SO; w. j. Winters, 500;
A. DeLong, $1,000.
The superintendent of the schools re-
ported that he had made the following
appoin tments for principals of the vari-
Gus school buildings: Copper smelter,
w. G. Frisbie; b. & M, addition, T.. II.
Elliott; South side school, Miss G.
l5lodgett; West side, w. G.. Light. He
desired to leave the appointment for the
North side open for Ike present. lie
further recommended that the board
make arrangements to bring the scholars
from the silver smelter, Field and South
Great Falls to the city, as the expense OF
transporting them every day to and from
their homes would be less than the ex-
pense of keeping up the schools in these
three districts. The report Of the super
intendent was approved.
TIE salary of w. G.. Frisbie was raised
to $50 per month.
1t was determined to occupy the new
high school next week, unless it ap-
peared that the backboards, which are
still lacking, would arrive within the
next few days.
The board then adjourned.

Petition for Guardianship.

In the district court Saturday morn
ing, Mrs. Thomas Splan made appica-
tion to be appointed guardian of the es-
tate Of Frederick Turner, Il rancher, re-
siding near Truly. She alleges that her
brother is not of sound mind.
Several months ago Tyree M. Hubbard
instituted suit in the district court to
eject Turner from certain ranch. A
young lady resided near Truly who was
so related to certain persons that Turner
thought that by marrying her he would
secure the dismissal Of the suit. He an
noyed her with his attentions and kept
her friends hustling her between Truly,
Helena and Choteau. She refused his
proposals repeatedly, but finally he came
to Great Falls and secured a license tC
marry her. He still has the unused
license.
Hubbard won the suit, bat on account
of an error the case Was reopened and
at the last term of court it was set foI
trial. Turner at the last moment re.
fused to submit any case and judgment
by default wss entered against HIM
cecting him and assessing costs. He
refused to pay, although ahle to do so
and his property was to be sold yester-
day, but the sale has been postponed
until the application of Mrs, i5pan may
be heard,
Turner is said to own considerable
property and mis- sister desires to manage
it in hie interests.

Mckinley County Candidates to Resort
in Desperation TO Cheap Tricks.
There is little less than panic at Nc
Kinley republican headquarters. Re.
ports have been received from every sec
tion of the county to the effect that the
voters are entirely dlsgusted with the
ticket which has no platform and that
the nominees are being cut both by the
silver republicans and the Goddard men.
The former declare that no Mckinley
man can get their vote, and they have
Just as much objection to man who
whispers privately that he is in favor of
Bryan and silver, when he finds himself
among silver's friends, but has not
tho courage to avow himself openly. Tho
Goddard and Mckinley republicans, on
the other hand are bitter over tho treat
ment Goddard received at the hands Of
the county candidates when he came
here to hold k:4 meeting Not
one of them, with the exception OF DIR.
Fairfield, the candidate for coroner,
could be persuaded to attend the meet
ing, and most of them fled out of town
as soon HIS they learned Goddard was
here. Tho thick and thin Mcklnleyites
strongly resent this cowardiy strategy
and promise to scratch the whole county
ticket. Between the two horns Of their
dilemma the candidates are about driven
to desperation, and several consultations
have been had at headquarters as to
how they are going to got out of the
meas. 1t is now conceded that it was a
mistake to go before the people without
platform or any expression Of their
principles, and that they are bound to
be emoked out anyway before election,
