Found Dead in His Cabin.

Frank Brennan, who has resided in and
around Deer Lodge for nearly score of
years, was found dead in his cabin, Just
west of the railroad crossing, Tuesday
afternoon, by Marshal Stuart Justice
Powell was notified and telegram sent
to sister of the deceased, at Spokane,
notifying her of her brothers death.
She replied by telegram, stating that
Frank was an old soldier, and that his re-
mains could be buried by them. There
is no organization of old soldiers here,
and but handful of veterans. Further
more, diligent inquiry among the old
soldiers of this city failed to show that
any of them had any knowledge of Bren-
mans having been soldier; but some of
them freely contributed toward the fund
raised to defray the burial expenses.
A coroner's jury, summoned by Justice
Powell, found that the deceased came to
his death from natural causes, and his re-
mains were buried on Wednesday after
noon.

Leadville District.

John P. Rains and Homer Humans of
Butte, and ]. M. Self of Deer Lodge, have
taken two years lease on the Populist
mine, in Leadville district, owned by j. S.
Beacock and others. The Populist is To-
Gated about two or three miles southeast
of the Emery, and is therefore about Is
miles from Deer Lodge. A tunnel has
been run on the property 140 feet and a
shaft sunk to the depth of 20 feet, where
body of ore has been struck which runs
about $35, in gold, silver and lead. There
is a wagon road to the property, land
Messrs. Self and Humans will leave to-
day with an outfit to begin work in sink
ing the shaft.
A carload of ore was recently shipped
from a claim in this district by Ira Covey
and others which netted the parties very
satisfactory returns, but the shaft has now
been sunk to such depth as to re-
quire machinery in its further develop
ment, and the owners lave not the means
with which to purchase an outfit.
The Mammoth
Work is being pushed vigorously at the
Mammoth in the construction of the new
shaft house and hoist, under the direc=
tion of Superintendent Browne. All of
the new machinery is now on the ground
ready to be put in position just as soon
as the new building is completed. The
heavy timbers and lumber used in the
work are shipped from Hamilton to Bear
mouth, where they are loaded on sleds
and hauled to the mine. Directly.upon
the completion of the new Improvements
a strong force of men will be employed
in development work. Mr. Browne is
very confident of the future of the Nam
moth, and all the work now being done
is of the most substantial and lasting
character. About the first of March a
sawmill will be located convenient to the
mine by W. A. Griffith for the purpose of
furnishing the mining timber used by
the company. An assessment of five
cents per share upon the capital stock of
company has been levied for the purpose
of developing the property.

A SMILING ADMINISTRATION.


The friends of Mayor Taggart claim for
him as a great merit and qualification for
Office that he can let people down so easy.
AS one of them says. He can saw a man
in two without hurting him." By this is
meant that he can reject advice, repudiate
pledges, deny justice or ignore charges
against mis- administration in such a smooth,
Pleasant and effectual way that those on
whom he operates scarcely realize what
has been done to them They think they
are being taken up, while in reality they
are being let down. This is accomplished
chiefly by smiling. The Taggart smile is
peculiar. Mechanically speaking, it is a
celluloid smile, uniform in style and action
and suited to every situation. Being adj
Unstable if one wears out another fits in just
s well and is equally suited for all occa-
Ions 1t is a trained and reliable smile,
nd. however it may deceive others, it never
betrays it's owner. Being under perfect
control, it never misses fire 1t is the main
factor in Mayor Taggart's process of letting
people down OF course, he talks some, but
what he says is not half so effectual as
what he does 1t is the smile that does the
business If citizen calls on him to file
charges against a policeman he is listened
to patiently and let down with a smile. If
an Impoverished taxpayer calls to protest
against any further assessments he Is
bowed out with a smile If a business man
offers a valuable suggestion in regard to the
management of city finances it is received
with a smile and never heard of again. If
many citizens protest against the misman-
agement Of the park fund or the proposed
manner of assessing benefits they get for
answer a smile. If charges are made
against the Board of Public Works of favor
itism, extravaganza, want of business meth-
DDS or what not they are listened to with
a smile. In every case the visitor or COM
rlainant is led to believe that he is making
a favorable impression and is going to get
justice, but he is mistaken. He will simply
get smiles. 1t is the Taggart method of
letting people down easy ard is the strong
point in this business administration" If
five thousand of the largest taxpayers in
the city were to go to the mayor and protest
against the unbusinesslike management of
the park fund, against the increase of the
city debt, against issuing bonds for money
to pay current expenses, against the large
increase in the cost of the city government,
against the placing Of supernumeraries OH
the pay rolls reward for political
services, against the building up of a po-
litical machine with the money of the peo-
pie. against the transfer of money from one
appropriation to another for political pur-
poses, or against any other act or practice
Of this administration, they would be met
with smiles, listened to with smiles, dis
missed with smiles, and that would be the
last of it, If smiling is business, then this is
a business administration.

1t is not often that a brief dispatch con-
veys more pleasing intelligence than did
one printed in the Journal of yesterday.
About ten days ago a dispatch from san
Diego stated that information brought by a
steamer just arrived there indicated that
the British flag would soon be hoisted over
Clipperton island in the Pacific, although
it was supposed to belong to Mexico. This
was followed in a few days by another dis
patch stating that a citizen of San Fran
cisco claimed to be the owner or
part owner of the island by right
of discovery, and that it was pro-
tected by the American flag. The first dis
patch was so much in accordance with
British precedents and methods that it
seemed likely to be true There is no spot
of ground on the face of the earth so re-
mote or inaccessible that it is not liable to
be appropriated by the British government
unless the real owner is prepared to assert
and defend a prior claim No matter how
small or how large, an island or a conti-
nent, rock in mid ocean or a vast prov
ince. Clipperton island or Australia makes
no difference to Great Britain. 1t is her
habit to hoist the British flag over every
thing when there is the slightest chance of
maintaining it. 1t was not pleasant to
think that she was likely to acquire an
other island off our coast. even though a
small one, thus strengthening the line of
British flags that surround the United
States from Halifax. by the Bermudas and
West Indies around 20 Vancouver. On the

SOUNDNESS OF BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATIONS.

1t is said that the failure of few build
ing and loan associations has had a very
serious effect upon the business of such as
sociations. In this vicinity considerable stir
has been caused by the troubles of two or
three companies, but the two or three are
a small fraction of the whole number in
the State, or, indeed in the city. There
is not the least ground for any apprehen-
sion regarding the future of building and
loan associations managed with a fair de-
gree of prudence This assertion is made
because the number of suspensions and
failures in building and loan associations
is much smaller than the suspensions of
banks having the same aggregate of CAPT
tai. There never was so general confidence
in banks and very properly, for the reason
that the banks of the country have passed
through the crisis of the past four years
with few casualties. The larger failures
have been due to the dishonesty of those
managing the banks.
The truth is the country has hundreds of
building and loan associations which are
entirely sound There may be shaky in
situations, but these can be avoided if they
are attempting to do business. OF the great
mass of sound institutions il is safe to say
that they are in position, now that bus
mess is improving, to be more useful TO
shareholders than ever before. They may
not pay so large profits, but they will yield
better return than any agency for the in
vestment of savings, because they will
bring sure and larger returns. If the an
nual return to the investor should be but 6
per cent. it will be per cent. higher than
the best savings bank yields. and per
cent above the much-exploited postal saw
ings bank.
The weakness of the building and loan
associations is in the high dividends they
have paid. The borrowing shareholders
have often paid more than they could af-
ford, so that some property has fallen into
the hands of the companies because of the
inability of the borrowers to make pay
ments during the past four years. The bet
ter the terms which can be given to bor-
rowing shareholders, the sounder the insti-
tutions
The point, however, which it is desired
to impress at present is that the great
mass of the building and loan associations
are now upon sound basis and are worthy
of the confidence of those having small
amounts of money to invest.

contrary. it is pleasant TO learn that the
British flag is not TO be hoisted over Clip
erton island. A dispatch in the Journal
of yesterday, dated San Francisco, Aug "a.
says:
1t is learned from Paul ]. Hending, an
empoye OF the Pacific Phosphate Company,
that the American flag is flying on Clipper
ton island. He has been living on the island
with two other men. and they successfully
resisted the attempt of Captain McMurtry
of the ship Kinkora, to moist the British
flag there three months ago. The kinkora
was wrecked and the three Americans held
as wreckage nearly million feet OF lumber
which was washed ashore. II. NJ. s. ComuS
visited the island, but did not disturb the
stars and stripes nor enter action for the
valuable lumber.
This is really jolly. for in addition to the
assurance that Clipperton island is under
the American flag, it shows that three
American citizens under that flag are more
than match for Great Britain. Better
yet, it shows that the British ship which
made an unsuccessful attempt to hoist the
British flag on the island was wrecked and
the three Americans who held the fort, or
the island against her came in possession
of nearly a million feet of lumber which
was washed ashore. This was fine. Moth

New Orleans. But even this is not all. 1t
appears that a. British war ship which Wis
tied the island after the wreck, probably to
investigate the case, did not disturb the
United States flag nor lay claim to the lum-
Der from the wreckage. She probably found
that the merchant ship had been wrecked
while trying to hoist the British flag where
it had no business, and that the less said
about it the better. Thus the stars and
stripes continued to fly the three Amer
leans remained in possession of the island
and the lumber, and the British war ship
steamed away. If she should come across
another little island in some other part of
the globe which appears to be uninhabited
she may be tempted to hoist the British flag
over it, but before doing so she had better
reconsider and see if it is not already pre-
empted.

The celebration of the centennial of tho
town Of Steubanville. O., was appropriately
opened on Tuesday with the dedication of
a bronze tablet to the memory of Edwin NJ
Stanton, native and longtime citizen of
the town. The tablet, purchased by penny
contributions from the school children Of
the county. was placed on the building
where Stanton was born. Among other adj
dresses on the occasion was one by General
Daniel E. Sickles, who spoke seated on the
chair used by Stanton in his law office. Ed
win NJ. Stanton was one of the great figures
of the civil-war 'eriod. His services as MIR.
Buchanans attorney general in the closing
weeks of that administration and later as
Mr.. Lincoln's great secretary of war were
valuable beyond all expression. The tre-
mendous strain which he underwent during
these years broke down his naturally strong
constitution. and he died in 1869 at the age
of fifty-five years, four days after his con-
firmation as an associate justice of the
Supreme Court. Steubenville does well to
honor the memory of its greatest citizen.

The Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The price of Septem-
Der wheat was advanced exactly 5 cents
to-day September closed at 96A cents. 1t
sold as high as 81 cents. AT the same time
December advanced 3 cents, to 1914 cents.
selling at one time cent above that figure.
The statement that the bull clique was still
holding on to its september wheat was
made painfully apparent. They stood pat
on their holdings to-day, little or none be-
ing offered for sale, and as the crowd began
to appreciate that fact the price Went up
by leaps and bounds. September sold as
low as 1912 cents early in the session. De-
cember, however, got its strength from out
side news. heavy clearances, strong cables
and bad crop reports being the factors. Not
withstanding the sharp advance. business
was comparatively small. simply because
no wheat could be bought. The dealing in
corn was unusually heavy, and the market
closed at an advance of llkNlA cents.

BRANDING OF SEALS.
DIR. Jordan Says Prof. Elliott Doesn't
Know What He Is Talking About.

PALO ALTO Cal, Aug. 25.-Dr. Jordan,
president of Stanford University, says that
the opinion of his friend Prof. Elliott re-
lating to the branding of seals is entitled
to no especial notice because Elliott knows
nothing whatever about the subject. As
a matter of fact" he added, the branded
sealskin in the possession of the Treasury
Department was burned while the pup wore
its black coat. After the wound had healed
and had been replaced by the new coat
which corresponds to that Of the adult
seal it was killed and skinned. There is
no question that it is perfectly feasible to
brand seals and that the brand will remain
permanently as it does on a horse or cow
One man can brand female seal pups at
the rate of one thousand a day. The brand
will grow with the growth of the animal
The water hair will hide it TO some extent
but the part of the skin on which II APP
pears is permanently spoiled for the fur
rier's purposes. The ADULT seals can also
be branded without injury. but they are
not easily handled AS TO the notion that
branding the animals will brighten them
and drive them off to some other island
there is no foundation for it. They mind
it no moro than sheep being Sheared.'
