PAVED WITH MUCH MUD
The Condition of Main Street AL
most as Bad as Ever.
SPEAKING OF ,.FLUSHlN5


The problem of mud confronted the
street commissioner yesterday, the Chi
nook of the past tMo days having melt
ed and loosened up the frozen filth
which has been accommodating for some
time. Even Main street paved as il is.
showed several inches of mud and was
nearly as unpleasant for traffic as i'll
nhe old days, except that now one was
sure OF striking bottom if he goes far
enough, while in the old days there was
mo telling when he would stop.
Street Commissioner Branigan and
force of men We're out with scrapers
and teams cleaning off Main street. and
did good work 1t has been suggested
that the best way to clean off the
paved street would be to flush IL off by
turning on the hose from the fire de-
partment. The water could be turned
on at Copper street at midnight and
all the accumulated dirt washed off be-
fore morning, and the pavement resur-
rected once more. When spoken to in
regard to this matter yesterday Mayor
Harrington said that the difficulty in
the way of this plan is the cost of the
water. The water company hasn't any
water to burn at this season of the year
and the charge would be high for water
enough to wash all the filth off of Main
street. 1t was considered cheaper to
use the teams owned by the city to
plan was pursued
1t is not generally known that each
occupant of a store or house is required
10 keep the dirt and snow cleared from
the gutter in FROM of his store or house
just as he is to keep his sidewalks clean.
This is shown by section ID of ordinance
452. which reads:
II Every owner or occupant of any
house or other building. and the owners
or proprietor, lessee or person entitled
to possession of any vacant lot and
every person having the charge of any
church, Jail or public hall or public
building of this city, shall, during the
time snow shall continue on the
ground. by 3 o'clock on every morning
when necessary, clear the sidewalks
and cutters in front of such house or
other building, and in front of such lot
from snow and ice, and keep convent
emily free therefrom during the day;
or shall. in case the snow and ice are so
concealed that they cannot be removed
without injury to the pavement or side
walk, cause the said snow and ice to be
strewed with ashes or sand; and shall
also at all times keep such sidewalks
other distractions or encumbrances. so
as to allow citizens the use of said
sidewalks in an easy and commodious
manner and every person neglecting or
refusing to comply with this section
shall on conviction thereof be fined in
n sum not to exceed $40 for each neg
aect or refusal.

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

\ fact often overlooked, or not al

as much from distressing kidney and
bladder troubles as the men. The womb

urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed To female weakness or womb

The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need doctoring. If You

pass water too frequently. or scanty

WILLIAM AND JULIA.
MIR. Rramlett Thinks Miss Weegreen is
Wee Bit Too Previous.

i William Bramlett and his mistress.
Julia Weegreen, have quarreled, and
now William wants Julia arrested for
obtaining goods under false pretenses.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton OF the authorities by the, woman
appearing last evening at police head
quarters and asking that an officer be
sent with her to recover some clothes
she alleged William had wrongfully de-
priyed her of. Her request was grant
ed and the property was recovered
from Bramlett's room, and a few min
utes later William made his appearance
and asked for a warrant for Julia's ar
rest He said he desired to charge her
with obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses Bramlett i'll stating his side of
the case, said he had lived with the
woman for some time and that they had
vet To have their first Touchdown. But
i'm an uncautious moment he gave her
500, and since that time her manner
toward him has been cold and changed.
Ii was for this reason he went to her
room where she had taken apartments
separate from him and took the pres
ents he had given her. He did not eX-
plain what goods she had obtained I'M

AGAINST Mr.. SUPRENANT.
Secretary Bliss Lands Pretty Heavily on
the Gentieman's Neck.

the Gentieman's Neck.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena Dec 29.-Secretary Bliss has
denied the petition Of Alexander Supre-
nant for review and equitable relief IN
the case of Joseph Swayze vs.. Alexan-
der Suprenant involving n piece Of
land in section %, township north
range Z west, near Butte. Suprenant
homsteaded the land in April, 1887, and
in July 1894, his entry was cancelled
for failing to submit final proof within
the statutory period. seven years. HIS
entry was reinstated, and in Decem-
Der, 1894. he submitted proof in the
usual way. This was protested by
Joseph SwayZe. who alleged that the
land was mineral A hearing was had
and the local land office decided in ia
vor of Suprenant. SWayZe appealed to
the commissioner of the general land
office, who reversed the lower decision
and held the Suprenant entry for can
collation.. Suprenant appealed to the
department but the secretary afilrmed
the decision of the commissioner OF
the general land office. Suprenant then
filed a motion for a review, which was
denied. Then he filed petition for
a review and equitable relief. Seere-
tary Bliss letter announcing his denial
of this petition was received to-day by
the Helena land office. In commenting
on the case the secretary says:
II ~ tidtliitd ny sSaBit1 IL iitf'
petition that Swayze is mere protest
ant without interest. and that the case
should be considered and disposed of
as between him and the government
alone. At the time said petition was
| entertained the department was with
out information as To the desire of
| Swayze to be further heard, but re-
quired service upon him of said petit
| ton and affidavits 1t was realized
| that the relief prayed for IN the petit
| ton could be granted only in the alb
sence of an adverse claim, and iii the
| absence of counter proof which would
| contradict and disproVe the TRUTHFUL
ness and good faith of the averments
| made.
TT now appears that Joseph Swayze
on July 16 1897. after the cancellation
of the entry of Suprenant applied to
enter and was allowed to make home
/ stead entry for the land in question,
after the cancellation of Suprenant' $
1 entry. 1t is alleged that in addition
/ to development work done with a view
TO claiming the land under mineral
/ location SwayZe has made valuable
/ improvements suitable TO the use and
occupancy of a farm: that he has
erected good buildings; has good
garden. broke 10 acres in 1897 and SOW
/ ed 10 acres to grass.
/ .There IS much In the counter show
! ing made to support the charge that
| SwayZe is still to have an interest III
| the land, In the event Suprenant OBJ
| tains title. This entry could only be
restored upon satisfactory proof that
the deed made by Suprenant was not
| intended To convey any interest in the
land and that. in reference both to thai
| transaction and the execution of q
mortgage to Lloyd. he acted in good
faith. The record as a whole is strong
ly suggestive of bad faith upon his
part, and the petition is over-ruled,

The principal factor in the rise to-day was the daily
river bulletin issued by the Weather Bureau. It
showed that the Mississippi River ut Cairo. Memphis,
streams was above the danger line and still rising; at
vicksburg the water was very close to the danger
line and still rising; at st. Louis the river was below
the danger line and falling. This bulletin caused the
advance here early In the day. Liverpool rallied after
interior towns were generally smaller than a week
ago, the spot markets In this country were firm and
shorts covered. Liverpool and New Orleans were
moderate traders here. but the speculation was mainly
local. Before the close part of the improvement was
lost on realizing sales, but the last prices showed q
net advance for the day. The receipts at the ports
