The row in the state house between

The row in thestate house between
Gov. Smith and the board of land
commissioners has developed into a
fight in which the governor would
appear too have the small end of it.
Soon after Gov. Smiths Inaugural
ton he requested the resignation of
Deputy Land Agent Page, which
was promptly sent and the governor
nominated Henry Neill, a Populist,
brother of John s. NJ. Neill, to fill the
vacancy. Messrs. Hogan and Nolan
of the board refused to confirm the
nomination while Supt. Carleton
voted with the governor. who is the
fourth member. The objection to
Mr.. Neill on the part of Messrs. No.
Ian and Hogan has not been made
public but Is said to be wholly OF a
political nature. So the disagree
ment has hung for some time, but
last week the governor decided to
take the bit in his teeth and claimed
he had power to place MI. Neill In
Mr.. Pages shoes. notwithstanding
the objection of other members of the
board, setting forth that he had
power to fill a vacancy which existed
owing to Mr.. Page having resigned.
Attorney General Nolan promptly
responded with an opinion to the
effect that Mr.. Page continued to
hold Office until his resignation was
accepted and his successor had quail
fled. At the next meeting of the
board Supt. Carleton, who had hith-
erto voted with the ex-governor. changed
front and offered and voted for a res
olution declaring Mr.. Page entitled
to the office until the matter was de-
termined by the courts, Mr.. Neill
having announced that he would
bring action for mandamus to COM
pei the state auditor to pay his bill
for salary at the end of the month.
At present Mr.. NeiIl is holding down
an empty desk In the state land Office
and Mr.. Page IL attending to duties
in the field. Come, gentlemen, let us
peace. Certainly there is SO
little difference between a Demo-Pop
and a Popo-Dem that they ought to
lie down together without this fric-
ton.

Iowa Republicans held their state
convention at Cedar Rapids last week
and the dispatches say it was the
largest and most enthusiastic con-
vention ever held in the state. There
were over a thousand delegates pres
ent and 1900 people in attendance.
l.. NJ. Shaw, of Dennison county,
was nominated for governor on the
fourth ballot. AS the Democrats Of
Iowa are hopelessly divided and the
middle-of-the-road Populists have de-
clared silver a dead issue, the Repub-
licans will have a walk over in the
coming election. The majority will
not he as large as it was last fall
owing to its being an off year, when

publican vote, but the majority will
be large enough to ~overwhelm the
opposition.

Three-fourths OF the present fiscal
year have now elapsed, and a fair
estimate of the probable total will
hardly exceed $50, OO0.0 90.
For the information of those who
have been led to believe, from per-
sistent reitoration, that Fergus
county is the worst managed
county in the State" the following
figures, showing the assessed value,
tax levy for county purposes, bonded
debt, and net debt of some of our
adjoining counties of about the same
class, taken from the official reports
of said counties for the year 1896, and
now on file in the office of the county
clerk and recorder, are herewith
submitted, viz:
Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1897-08-25

The statement, that the tax levy
last year was LIZ mills, and that the
levy for the present year is "A mills,
is a palpable falshood.
The facts are, that the entire levy
for county and school purposes in
1896 was 16 mills, and for the pres
ent year, the levy for similar pur-
poses is 16k mills, and but for the
strong plea made by friends of the
public schools for an additional mill
more than was available last year,
the total would have been but 15h
mills for 1897.
While the tax levy for all purposes
for the year 1897 is "A mills, seven and
one-half mills of this amount is for
state purposes and the levy being re-
by law. is not at all charge
able to the county commissioners.

Against Foot Ball.

The Georgia Legislature, by a vote
of oI to 5, on Monday last passed the
anti-foot ball bill and the same has
been sent to the senate. The meas
ure provides that it shall be unlawful
for any person or persons to come
together and play a prize or match
game of football in any park or other
place in the state where a fee is charg-
ed for admission, 900 fine, or one
year in the penitentlary or both are
fixed as the penalty. In an editorial
on the football question the New York
HeraW of Monday said:
Though the foot ball season of
1878 in less than two months under
way, the list of the manned and killed
is SO appallingly large that hasty in
spection of the files of the HeraM
shows that the gentlemanly sport of
foot ball has already this season sur
passed the worst epoch of the prize
ring in its list of killed and more or
less seriously injured. Three deaths,
with probably one or two more immi-
nent, and long list of some IS seri-
Gus injuries mark the wreckage chart
OF the game with far too many black
spots ard that in the short space of a

trunk and breeches, leg guards, arm
guards, knee plates, elbow plates and
the like are unknown elsewhere.

Pensions Grow.
Secretary Bliss Points To a S5,00O.O00
Increase.

Secretary of the Interior Bliss, in
his annual report, made public Thurs
day, submits estimates aggregatlng
SI5o,53s,4ro for appropriations by
congress for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1897. Discussing pensions,
he says 100000 pension claims are
awaiting adjudication, and it is esti-
mated that forty or fifty per cent. of
these will be finally admitted. If they
are rapidly adjudicated they will swell
the pension roll from $4,000, 900 to
$7,ooo,ooo.
When, however, these claims are
adjudlcated and first payments made
thereon, the amount of the pension
roll will decrease very rapidly, posi-
bly, to $Ia5,ooo,ooo or $4,000, 900
the first year.
The total Indian population of the
United States, exclusive of the New
York Indians and five civilized tribes,
approxlmates I77,r7S, located on III
reservation which contain approxi-
mately 35,4o4,837 acres. OF these,
4545 have accepted allotments of
land which aggregate about 644,I47
acres.
The secretary says the five tribes
have undoubtedly violated in many
ways the spirit OF their agreement with
the United States, under which the
territory is now held and governed,
and while he does not recommend
any harsh government action. he calls
the attention of the president and
congress to the chaotic condition of
affairs of the territory growing out of
the several tribes methods of admins
tration. Leading Indians have abb
sorbed great tracts to the exclusion
OF the common people and govern
ment by Indian aristocracy has been
practically established to the detri-
ment of the people.
From 100000 to 100000 whites,
by permission of the Indian govern
ment, have settled in the territory,
but are merely tenants by sufferance.
No government for the Indian terri
tory will be satisfactory, he says, until
congress shall provide for the estab
hshment of single uniform system
for the entire Indian territory that
shall place all Its inhabitants in pos
session of the rights of American
citizens.

water absorbs effete matter and car

Beer, tonics or alcoholic drinks can

Sheriff Martins Trial.
Court is Determined That No Technically
Shall Stand in the Way.

The Court is determined that no
technically shall prevent the trial of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies at the
next term of Criminal Court, on the
charge of numbering 70 strikers at
Lattimer on Sept. 10.
Immediately after court convened
last week District Attorney Fell and
the District Attorney-elect T. r.
Martin, were called before the bench
and gwen special instructions as to
the drawing of the next jurors. Judge
Lynch said they should consult as to
how the matter should be attended
to. This circumstance was especially
called into question on account of the
indictment against Sheriff Martin, as
there was some question as to the
legally of the jury drawn for the last
term and which would have tried him
had not his case been continued.
Thus +. r. Martin and ID. A. Fell
are to personally superintend the fill

championship question. When
John L. Sullivan, the greatest and
only real fighter, was defeated by Jim
Corbett, this great United States
could boast of having champion
pugilist of the world, one who during
the twelve years of his undisputed
championship of the world was ever
ready and willing to defend the title.
In those good old days a man want
ing to battle for the championship
honors didn't require backing to the
extent of thousands to have his ambl,
ton gratihed. All he had to do was
to challenge the great John L., who
would fight him on an hours or a
minutes notice, never asking of him
to go and get reputation, but set a
date then and there, and if he didn't
knock his opponent out inside of -four
rounds, he could have all the money.
In those good old days, there was nc
'Ioser's" end, the winner took every
thing, and that is why all who know
him, will honor John l.. Sullivan tc

ADVANCE FOR GLASS WORKERS.
Factories Soon to Give Employment Il
10000 Men.

AT meeting of the Wage Commit
tees of the Pittsburg Window Glass
Manufacturers and Workers Thursday,
President Simon Burns, tor the
Workers, offered scale which will be
adopted by the manufacturers in the
near future. 1t calls for an advance of
from I2 to &c per cent. for the
gatherers and blowers. The fatteners
and cutters, who seeded from the
union, refused to join in the confer
ence and will make an independent
settlement with the manufacturer S.
They will probably receive an advance
of I2 per cent.
Window glass factories have been
idle since June 80, and stocks are
depleted. Twelve thousand workmen
are interested.
