go. The annual meeting of the Eastern
Montana Woolgrowers association met
here to-day with a large attendance.
Much business of interest was transact

ing prevailed. Many subjects of inter-
est were brought up and discussed
among which was the pooling of wool
for sale. which was decided impractical
BILE. The matter of fixing sale days was
agreed upon. The question of whether
the convention should endorse the ac-
tion of our senators in fegard to the
merits of the Dingley bill was widely
discussed. which was easily disposed of
by a motion to adjourn, so that action
was not taken In addition to the rail-
road and stockmen, the politicians are
gathering. Governor Richards and wife
are expected tomorrow as guests of the
chamber OF commerce. Mayor Charles

Berlin. April 20.-Herr Bachem, CEN
trist, in the reichstag to-day. called
upon the house 10 take action to pre-
vent dueling. He dwelt upon the pub
lie Indignation caused by the killing Of
Baron Won Schrader by Count Won
kotze. and asked why the police had
allowed the meeting TO occur when

fight the baron. Continuing Herr Ba-
chem said that the prince coasort had
obtained the abolition Of the duella In
England. and asked why the emperor

A BRIEF UMENT.
Answer of Ives In the Farmers' Loan a
rust Company's SUIT.

NOhpahN SUIT
Milwaukee, April 20.-Whatever doubt
there may have been as to the intention
of Brayton Ives to keep faith with the re-
organization commissioners OF the North
ern Pacific were dispelled to-day when
answer was filed to the suit of the Far
mers' Loan & Trust company. the fore
closure proceedings. i'm the United States
court by Ives admitting all OF the aIle-
cations of the complaint.
The answer filed has the distinction of
being the briefest document that has been
recorded in the proceedings 1t reads as
follows: And now comes the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. defendant
herein. by Silas W. Petit. Its solicitor.
and for answer to the bill OF complaint
herein. states that IL is advised that all
the allegations contained in the bill of
complaint of the Farmers Loan q Trust
company are true. and therefore il ad-
mits the same"
The filing Of the answer and its nature.
however. does not portray a defeat Of
Ives. but means a victory the terms Of
which no one will tell. IL develops that
the commissioners were obliged to make
the terms with Ives and that the mag
nate took every precaution to see that
they were carried out. To this end. two
answers were drawn. each OF an entirely
different nature. and both were ready for
filing in the court at a moments notice
and neither to be filed until permission
was given

ley bill in the senate. Was II not pig
eonholed by republican votes?" asked
Sayer.
THE republicans were not in con-
troll" replied Dingley.
But were not some Of them partly
responsible?"
Yes, partly" admitted Dingley.
"Will the republicans ask the states
represented by the senators to repudi-
ate them?'
Those states can take care of them
selves" replied Dingley.
Did not the republicans and popu-
lists make a dicker by which they OBJ
tained control of the senator" put in
McMillin.
The democrats and populists con-
troll the senate" replied Dingley
rs not Tom Carter chairman of the
republican national committee?" asked
McMillin. DO you claim that Messrs.
Wolcott, Dubois and Teller are popu-
lists? IL you do, you cut off a good
deal OF the respectability of your
party"
Have not the democrats and popu-
lists majority in the senator" asked
Dingley, who now became in turn in
quisitor. McMillin adroitly parried this
question, which Dingley thrust at him
repeatedly, by dwelling on the -four
recalcitrant republican senator's" and
swap" of the biggest committee in
the senate for the loaves and fishes
that float about the senate waters"
McMillin concluded by referring to
the necessity for a bankruptcy bill. a
Pacific roads refunding bill. a currency
bill, etc, and charged the republican
side with cowardice in not meeting
these questions instead of preparing to
adjourn and run away.
Davis. republican, Kentucky. offered
an amendment to pay Taylor county,
KY, $16,000 and Meade county 1000,

FROM the nature of the answer filed
this morning there is no doubt that the
terms were complied with. The second
answer. IL is understood. contained a ref
utation OF all the allegations which are
now admitted, supplemented with some
charges that might make racy reading
and exceedingly sensational. All of the
parties that have come into court are
now on record as agreeing to the reor-
ganinzation by accepting the decree of
foreclosure asked for. But II is learned
that the effort centered in Philadelphia
In the interests of the stockholders has
assumed such proportions as to make
further concessions and moderations in
the plan. 1t is asserted that unless the
notifications are made, a suit will be In
stituted to protest the preferred stock
holders trust bonds. which are held by
the Farmers Loan & Trust company.

TAX THEM NOW.
IL Is Not Necessary 10 Walt TIL Railroad
Lands Ara 1lsssifed.

Washington. April 20.-Justice Brown
delivered the opinion of the supreme
court to-day in the case of the Central
Pacific Railway company VS.. the state
or Nevada, involving the right of the
state to the lands of the railway COM
pany. The case came to the supreme
court from the Nevada supreme court
on writ of error sued out by the rail-
road company. The state court holds
that the state was entitled to levy
taxes upon patented lands and also for
lands which had not been patented, but
which had been surveyed and on which
the cost of surveying had not been
paid. Justice Browns opinion affirms
this decision.
IT." he said, "the railroads had a
possessory claim to the lands, they are
taxable under the statute of Nevada" :"
Remarking upon the plea that the land
could not be taxed where the govern
ment reserved mineral lands from the
grant, he said: IF the state has no
possessory claim, because the lands are
mineral, 1t certainly cannot be injured
by a sale of the lands to pay the tax"
He did not think 1t possible that the
railroad companys enormous land
grant should remain untaxed until the
character of the lands as to mineral
could be determined
Justice Field dissented, on the ground
that the reservation of mineral lands
from the grant made 1t impossible to
determine what lands could be properly
taxed against the railroad company.
The case involving the Mormon
church property which was confiscated
under the Edmunds act were sent back
to the supreme court of Utah for final
disposal, In conformity with the joint
resolutions of congress approved March
26 last, restoring this property to the
church. The decision of the court be-
low was reversed for this purpose.

From the New Orleans Times-Der


crat.
Every day something new is found
about electricity and it's effects" said
Mr.. Fay Of the Southern Pacific. DO
you know that nine-tenths OF the UNI
brellas that men carry nowadays are
magnetized? Well they are. and all
that Is necessary 10 prove this Is to
apply the point Of your knife or, bet
ter still. a small pen point against the
steel rib. The attraction Is very per
ceptible and Il is caused by the car
rying OF the article inside OF the cleo
trio ars. The umbrella is rested upon
the floor near the motors, and the
proximity OF the metal causes a GER
tain quantity OF the fluid TO find a per
manent lodgment in the ribs.
Carrying out the idea. il is very
likely that the corset steels OF the la
dies are similarly affected. and think
what the consequences would be IL a
young man with steel cum buttons
would hug a girl with magnetized cor
set steels."

WOMEN CLEAN AN ALLEY.
Tired of Its Filthy Conditions They
Clean It Themselves

st. Louis, Sept. 5.-Tired of the cir
cumlocution of the city hall, and fail
ing to secure relief at the hands of the
board of health and the street depart
ment, the ladies of a popuIous neigh
borhOOd turned out yesterday and
cleaned UP an alley which had previ-
Ously been a source of no end of com
plants
The alley is located between Ran
dolph street. Scott avenue, Jefferson
avenue and Ewing avenue.
An ash wagon was chartered and all
the good women of the neighbOrhOOd
started to work with brOOms. hoes
shovels and other implements, which
they welded with such success that
the alley is now marvel of cIeanlf-
ness.
Mrs. Hamilton of POSI- Scott avenue
led the charge by beginning the remOv-
al of an accumulation in the rear of her
residence. One by one the ladies in
the neighbOrhood Joined in the work
until the little army grew large enough
to attract attention.
1t was a good humOred crowd, and
as the shOvels and hoes gathered the
refuse into little heaps there were Jokes
and jolly remarks about rivalling the
street department and supplanting Ed
Butler The workers had so much fun
that they threaten to do it again.

CLOSES ITS FIRST TERN.
Catholic Parochial Sch ooI-News in
Relation to It

The Catholic parochiaI school closed
the first week of the fall term this af-
ternoOn. The school was opened ear
lier than usual this year, but this was
done so as to allow a weeks vacation
to the children during the Fall Festi-
val
During the past summer the home of
the Sisters of Charity on Jackson
street was entirely renovated and an
addition built. Gas and hot and cold
water equipment was placed in the
building and the total cost for improve
ments amounted to 81, 200.
With the exception of one change,
the corps of teachers in the parochial
school are the same as last year Sis
ter Louisa, who was mother superior
for several years, has been transferred
to the charge of a large hospital in
Butte, Mont, and is succeeded in this
city by Sister Bernadette. Sister Lee
ontine has been placed in charge of
the classes formerly taught by Sister
Louisa
Both the day and night classes of the
business college still remain in charge
of Sister Mary BOrgia.

BAREFOOT DISCIPLES.
Three Hundred Kneipp Followers
Walk in Central Park.

New York, Sept. 5.-About 300 discf-
pies of the Able Kneipp, availing them
selves of a privilege granted yesterday
by the park board, turned out at an
early hour this morning in Central
park and walked in their bare feet on
the dewy grass of the east slope. There
were all sorts of persons in the little
band of the faithful, but the women
predominated,a and seemed to take great
delight in the exercise.
The policeman on the beat was puz-
zled how to deal with the bare feet. He
had read of the park boards action,
but had received no instructions from
his superior officers. When he ap-
preached a disciple of Able KneipD
the latter backed away and refused to
talk. There was some talk of arrest,
but the policeman was persuaded that
no individual permit was required, and
that the park boards action sufficed as
a general order No one was, there
fore, mOlested, and a large crowd
watched the dew walkers until Z
o'clock.
What the result of this experiment
viii be is hard to tell. President
Charles of the Kneipp-Verein said that
he expected that it would become a
fashionable fad and that later on there
might be thousands instead of dozens
tramping about on the lawn.
Over tWOerischOfen, Germany where
Able Kneipp holds forth, 10000 per
sons, including the Princess EuIalfa of
Spain, the Princesses Blanche and Bea-
trix, the Duke of NeckIenberg and
Archduke Joseph, brother of the en-
peror of Austria, walked barefooted on
the grass last year.

crease Capacity.

Victor, Colo, Sept. 5.-A meeting of
the chamber of commerce was held last
evening at the city hall, Vice President
Wilder presiding. Colonel Willard pre-
scented q, report from a committee Of
the body appointed to look into the
status of the water works. The report
states that the reservoir on Battle
mountain is in god shape and capable
of holding 800 600 gallons of water. The
pipe leading from the dam on Beaver
creek to the reservoir is in bad condi-
ton, but is being repaired as rapidly
as possible.
1t was reported that the dam is in
bad shape, but that by going about 500
feet above the present site a
dam can be built, capable of holding
1000, 600 gallons of water, at a cost of
$500.
