GOLD DEMOCRATS OF OHIO MEET.
Convention Mt Columbus Today Will
Put Ticket In the Field.

Columbus. Ohio, Sept. THE state
gold democratic convention will as
semble tomorrow, when district meet
ings will be held. The convention
proper is to meet Thursday Mr. By
mum of Indianapolis will be the prin-
cipal speaker. The purpose is to noml-
nate full state ticket. The Columbus
contingent has decided to put up can
didates for state senators and repre-
sentatives in the Legislature, and sug-
gest to other counties to follow suit.
The feeling among the gold democrats
is that since some of the party would
not vote for the gold ticket of any
other party, it is best to give them gold
democratic candidates. The party will
have to petition to get on the ballot.

LEADS IN WORK FOR ARBITRATION.
Friends of Alfred Love Believe Him
Entitled to n Reward.

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 5.-Three
years ago Alfred Noble, a wealthy
resident Of Stockholm, died in that
city, leaving among other requests the
annual increments from property val
ued at two million dollars, which was
to be paid to the individual in any part
of the world who had been the most
active in promoting international arbi-
tration as substitute for war between
nations.
There have been several claimants to
this bequest, but the universal peace
union of this country believes that it's
president Alfred H. Love, of this city,
fulflls the conditions in a pronounced
degree, and a movement has been
started looking to the awarding to him
of the fund. President Love, who comes
of Quaker stock, was the founder of
the Universal Peace Union, and for
over 80 years has been active in it's
cause of international arbitration. He
was one of the co-laborers of the ia
nous Lucretia Mott and other Original
tors of the underground railway, and
while possessing great business and ex-
ecutive ability, has been content to re-
main poor throughout his life, while
devoting his time and energies to hu-
manitarian movements.

A dividend of 25 per cent to depositors

The work of inclosing the main build
ing of the college at Bozeman is pro-
crossing favorably 80 the walls and in
terror woodwork will soon be protected
against the fall storms. The college
buildings will probably be provided with
an independent electric lighting plant
when all the machinery and other appli-
ances are put in place.
The month just closed was the banner
month in building in the history of
Butte. The total cost of buildings for
which permits were issued reaches $751;
ISL, which is far more than was ever
reached before in Buttes history. The
permit for the 100000 building at the
corner of Main and Granite streets, of
course, swells The total to proportions
which were never reached in Butte be-
fore. The total number of permits is
sued by the building inspector was 81.
Work on the deaf and dumb asylum at
Boulder has almost ceased, due to the
fact that the contractors are not receiv-
ing any money. Last year the contrac-
tors, under their contracts, accepted war
rants for their work, but since then the
legislature has passed a bill authorizing
the issuance of $4,000 of bonds to take
up the warrants and complete the work.
The bonds are unsold and the banks re-
fuse to take warrants any Rore.
Lowell Loughary, United States special
attorney, has been at Bozeman for the

here he goes to Miles City.

Arbitrator.

Washington, Sept. 9.--The full text of
the formal acceptance by the japanese
government of the proposal to arbitrate
its differences with Hawaii has been re-
received in this city and copy was to-
day delivered to Secretary Sherman by
the secretary of the japanese legation,
Mr.. Matsui. 1t is from Count Okuma,
minister of foreign affairs, to H. Shin

of the applicability of the treaty of 1871
to the japanese subjects other than those
belonging to the merchant class, shall
be regarded as points of issue upon
which the decision of arbitrator is to be
invited.

FEARFUL OF BEING HELD UP.
T~o,u hearing a Bandit Came INTO
noise with Guards Aboard.

Boise. Idaho, Sept. S.-The westDound
train on the Oregon Short Line was de-
tained six hours yesterday by an unusual
cause. Bob Meels, member OF the
Cassaday gang, which robbed the bank
at Montpelier in August, 1896, was to
he brought here to serve 80 years SEN
tenee. The railroad company got intor-
nation that the gang intended to hold
ND the train and rescue him. Conse-

to get to Montpelier in daylight. FIT
teen armed guards were put aboard and
Superintendent Van House rode i'll the
cab of the engine with a rifle in his
hands The sheriff of Bear Lake county
and one of the guards came through to
Boise with the warden. There was no
attempt to stop the train. The warnings
were conveyed to Superintendent Van
House mad to Sheriff Rich of Bear Lake
in such a way as to convince them that
there swagreat danger. The gang IS
one of the most desperate that has ever
operated in the west, and it was believ-
ed that they would not stop at anything
to rescue their comrade.

END OF MINERS STRIKE IN SIGHT.
Straight Price of 05 Cents n Ton Is
offered.

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 5.-The end of
the great miners strike is in sight. The
national executive board of the United
Mine Workers has agreed to recommend
to the miners a proposition from the
Pittsburg operators for a straight price
of Us cents a ton, to continue in force
until the end of the year, with the ad-
joint meeting of operators and miners
shall be held in December, 1897, for the
purpose of determining what the rate
of mining shall be thereafter. A dele
gate convention of all miners who have
suspended work has been called to meet
in Columbus September 8, to act upon
the recommendation. President Ratch-
ford and the other members of the board
say there is not the slightest doubt but
that the miners will approve the ar
rangement.

MORE IDAHO LAWS ARE DEFECTIVE
Supreme Court Ruling Most Disas-
trOus to the State.

Boise, idaho, Sept. 5.-In the district
court another law has fallen under the
rules laid down by the supreme court in
the fee bill case. 1t is the act regulating
appeals from the action of boards of COM
missioners. 1t is said that the next law
to fall will be the act providing for pros
ecution by information. This is said to
have been passed in way that was in
violation of the constitution as now CON
strued, and the lawyers say they will
attack it in the criminal cases to come
up. This is a highly important mat
ter, as the invalidation of the law might
result in the release of a large number
of convicts.
