Nothing but words of commentator
can be used In speaking of the exceptional
qualifications with which nature and edu-
cation have endowed Sidney H. McIntire
for the bench Born in the south thirty-four
years ago there can no question arise a.
to his having been a lifelong democrat.

by the utmost fairness. Graduating with
high honors from the world-famous Co
lumbia Law School of New York civ.

in Europe, he was most Thoroughly
equipped for the practice of law when he
came to Montana in 1884. He served n term
of two years as attorney of Choteau coun-
ty soon after coming to Montana and since
his residence in Helena has held the office
of city attorney during the two terms of

these positions and as a practicing attor-
ney he has done his whole duty and it can
safely be said that should he be elected

Lewis Morrison, in Faust is the open
ing attraction, TO be followed by Yorick's
Love. With Morrison in the character Of
Mephisto, Faust will always be notewor-
thy, even among attractions of more mod
ern construction, because its dramatic
picture will never be more Interestingly
and appealingly set forth and because it
is play that leads itself naturally to the
most elaborate Of spectacular pictures and
stage effects Of telling character. Not
only this but for the reason that Mr.
Morrison has not only given care and at
tention to the study Of the character and
has set his picture in a perfect frame. In
other words, he has given the author ev-
cry aid in staging his play. The company
that will be seen in his support en-
braces, among others talented Florence

The presentation of Yoricks Love Will
be of interest from the fact that it will

Prices.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. ia travelling
medicine faker, with the sobriquet of
Electric Bill" did good business in
Santa Clara last evening and victimized
several hundred people by selling cheap
electric belt at profit of about 1000 per
cent. Before Electric Bill'' began the
sale of his wares he threw handful OF
small silver among his audience and when
he offered his belts at 81 apiece there was
a mad rush for them. He then bought a
number of the belts back at several times
the price paid for them, and this caused
the more timid to invest. After he had
disposed of his entire stock he sang song
entitled "Just Tell Them You Have Met
Me and They Will Know the Rest" When
the faker went to his hotel he was pursued
by bowling mob of his victims, and for
time it looked as though Electric Blll'
would be dragged from the hotel and
made to refund the money.

Meeting Preceded by a Torch

WILD ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS
Many Unique Transparency Notices
in the Procession Are a Source
of Merriment.

NAPA, CAL, Oct. 15.-One of the largest
rallies ever held in Napa County was the
Republican rally held here this evening.
Mr.. Schoonmaker arrived on the evening
train and was driven to the Palace Hotel.
The parade was formed at the Republican
headquarters and marched to the hotel
and escorted the speaker to Maple Hall,
the finest hall in Napa. The rally was q
boomer. The streets were crowded by the
people who came to witness the parade.
All along the line of march there We're
continuous cheers for Mckinley and Ho-
bart and the different nominees of the Re-
publican party. Those forming the par
ade manifested the utmost enthusiasm
and added their cheers to those of the
Others. The line was made up of MEM
bers of the Mckinley and Hobert clubs
and friends of protection and sound
money, all carrying torches. Many in the
parade were on horseback. The many
transparencies carried added much to the
interest. The following were among the
mottoes: 1.-The bill maturing November
3-Bil Mckinley" "Sound dollars, sound
cents and sound sense" 1--WE favor the
free coinage of American muscle, "Open
the mills and the mints will open them.
Selves" and many others.
Sheriff George S. Mckenzie acted as
grand marshal and selected the following
aids, who accompanied him on horseback !:
Messrs. Turner, Vallejo, Brownlee, Horst
meyer, Mcfarland and Levansaler. The
many fireworks that were fired off during
th march added much to the brilliancy
of the occasion. A large bonfire was also
lighted on the principal corners of the
streets. Long before the procession reached
Maple Hail the room was crowded, with
no standing-room for many who wished to
gain admittance. At the least calculation
there were 1900 people in the hall. Thomas
D. Derry, leading young Republican of
Napa, called the meeting TO order. Besides
the music furnished by the band, most
appropriate selections were rendered by
the Republican Glee Club, under direction
of E. S. Gridley. II. N. Barstow, promi-
nent attorney of Napa, was then intro
duced as president of the evening. Mr..
Barstow is a pleasing speaker, and with
appropriate remarks he introduced T. x.
Schoonmaker to the Napa people. Mr..
Schoonmaker is speaker of National rep
utation, and his address to the Napa people
was able and well deserved the applause
that was frequently given. The meeting
closed with three cheers for Mckinley and
Hobart and other nominees of the Repub.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 15.-The big
Agricultural Pavilion was again filed to-
night by large audience that gathered to
listen to George A. Knight, who came up
by special engine to address the people OF
Stockton. The big building was well nigh
filled long before the meeting was called
to order by Chairman T. 4. Nelson of the
County Central Committee. E. c. Dickin-
son Of Ripon was selected as chairman,
and the leading men of the community
were upon the platform as vice. presidents
Arthur II. Ashley OF Stockton was the
first speaker, and his address was listened
to with deep interest. Before the intro
duction of the first speaker the Mckinley
and Hobart Club of Stockton passed in re-
view before the platform, whereat the au-
dience gave rousing cheers for the Repub-
lican nominees for President and Vice
President.
1t was after O'Clock before the speaker
of the evening arrived. He was greeted
with rousing cheers, and the closing words
of Ashley's address were drowned in the
cIamor, in spite of the fact that the Stock
ton mans effort was an able and telling
one. Mr.. knight was soon in the hearts
of his audience, and when he said that the
city OF Stockton had a practical iilustra-
ton of the combination of labor and capi-
tai, and the necessity of the labor and
capital joining hands, in the building of
the Valley road the crowd in the big
building yelled itself hoarse. He accused
BRYAN and the Democrats of shaking the
credit of the country, and said that the
people of this country were refraining
from engaging in business enterprises
until after November 3, owing to the stand
taken by the Democrats.
