Tho Columbian Branch Based Upon
Stricter Party Lines.
Another branch of the Socialist Labor
party, known as the Columbian Branch,
has been formed in this City. The princi-
pal promoters are G. B. Benham. r. T.
McIvor, A. Heoht, c. Ames, s. Armer, M.
Bloomer, E. l. Clark and E. Edlin. The
new branch will begin holding Sunday
morning meetings, beginning on the first
Sunday in June, in Pythian Castle. on
Market street, near Fif tn. The promot-
ers believe that there is field for the ne
organization and there is no feeling OF
jealousy or rivalry in the movement.
However, it will hold more strictly to
the platform Of the Socialist Labor party
than the other branches and not be de-
voted TO side lines. For example it favors
trade unions. While not believing that
trades unionism is the solution of the
economic question, still they believe
unionlsm on those lines is step in the
right direction. Moreover, it is favored in
the party platform. 4D

Dofor hfoyio


CHICAGO, Ill May 1S.-Ex-Governor
Altgeld has spent the last six days in the
seciusion OF the Sacred Heart Sanitarium,
Milwaukee,, in serious nervous condition.
The sanitarium authorities say that the
Ex-Governor did not take the regular
Kneipp treatment; all be did was to walk
barefooted in the wet grass during the
sariy morning hours and take a few baths
daily. Every effort was made to keep his
solourn quiet, as he had decided to have
perfect rest.
The Ex-Governor nd wife returned to
Chicago last evening. .AHgeid retired i'm
mediately and no formal announcement
OF his condition was made, though the at
tendants at the hotel said he was ill. 1t
is generally known among his friends
that Altgeld has been suffering from
nervous prostration and locomoto ataxia.
There Is little doubt that the ex-Gov-
ernor is worried greatly over Spaldings s
defalcation. Aside from his financial
troubles, which are many, Ex-Governor
Altgeld has found himself entangled in
the Dreyer embezzlement to the extent
that he had secured the appointment OF
Dreyer as treasurer of the West Park
Board and had borrowed money of him.

Chartered for 4ta.ka Troae.

TACOMA, WASH, May 1S.-The North
ern Pacitic's steamer City of Seattle is
being docked and repaired, and in marine
circles it is considered certain that she is
to be chartered by the Alaska Steamship
Company to replace the lost Willapa.
For over a year past she has been tied up.
She is three times the Wiliapa's size, but
the Alaska business is increasing.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Com pany
is watching the movement very closely.
Merchants and the travelling public hope
she will go on the run, since fares and
freight rates have been nearly doubled
since the Willapa was wrecked. Under
its traffic agreement with the Pacific
Coast Company the Northern Pacific
could not run the Seattle to Alaska, but it
could lease her to the Alaska S.eams p

DID DATIs LEAVE 4 WILL?
Sensational Story Told by Neto Jersey
CoEgic:.


BUTTE, Mont, May 1S.-A stir was
created to-day among the heirs OF the
DAVIS estate by the receipt of letter from
the American Tract Society OF New York
inclosing another from Edwin Stoddard.
an inmate of the Trenton IN. j. peniten-
tiary.
Stoddard says he has positive knowl-
edge of the existence of will of the late
A J. Davis by which the American Tract
Society, the American Bible Society and
the American Board of Foreign Missions
were each TO receive $40. 900, and by which
$500, 900 is set aside for the University of
Butte.
Stoddard's knowledge. he says, comes
from the fac: that he had the will in his
possession for long time for the purpose
OF forging another will at the instance of
certain persons. The scheme of forgery
was not completed when he was sent to
the penitentiary, and he only recently
learned that the original will had not
been probated.
