SuNrniils BOycOttcd.

Missoula, July 19.-N. II. Yer
rick, who is building one Of the new
blocks on Higgins avenue, was visit
ed today by a committee Of the Fed
Grafton Of Labor which handed him a
I LIST Of the sawmills in this section.
The list is classified into "fair" and
"unfair" mills and the committee
notified Mr.. Yerrick that if he bought
his lumber from any Of the unfair
mills the carpenters would refuse to
handle it. There are three in the
list Of unfair mills, I viz: Ken
net Ross, Ed. Donlan and the Ana
conda Mining company. The COM
mittee did not state to Mr.. Yerricll
the nature OF the unfairlless in each
instance, simply stating that the
mills operated by these three parties
were not fair. Mr. Ross was seen by
a Standard reporter this afternoon
and said that he had not been in
formed Of the action Of the Fedora
tion; that he had been informed that
the action in his case was due to the
| fact that his mill was running II
hours |, day; that he had explained
his position lin this matter to the
Representatives OF the: Federation,
and they had told him, lie said, that
he was all right. Furtl er than that
he knew nothing.
Mr.. tiurphey, superintendent Of
the mills at Hamilton, was in town
for short time this afternoon and
when asked about the boycott said
that he knew nothing about it. lie
had thought that the hours and
wages were all right at the mill and
there were several Federation men at
work in the mills. He knew of no
reason for the boycott. This even
ing President Fergusony Of the Fed
Grafton, said that the boycott in the
case of the two smaller mills was due
to the long hours. I'M the case OF
the Anaconda company. he said the
men had no fault to find with the
hours or the wages, but the tronblc
there is that the union is not recog-
nizcd in any manner, and this the
Federation considers unfair.

Passenger Attempts Suicide.

Missoula, July 1o,-M. Casey, a
passenger from San Francisco to
Butte, went suddenly crazy this af-
tcrnoon on the eastbound Northern
Pacific train while crossing the Flat
head Indian reservation. He at
tempted to cut his throat with a
knife before number of passengers.
This seemed to increase his mania
and he began slashing his head right
and left and stabbing himself in the
ribs. He then jumped off the train
which was going at a high rate of
speed, receiving terrible wounds about
the head. He was picked up and
placed in the baggage car, and his
wounds were dressed by a physician
on the train. The bandages were
torn off and it took four passengers
to hold him until Missoula was
reached. The sherff's force took
him to Jail after a hard struggle.
His identity is unknown.

Mrs. Addic Aiken Of Butte, Grand
Worthy Matron, came in on Monday
and that afternoon visited the East
ern Star lodge here. The sisters had
made preparations to receive her and
all the afternoon there was a high
time, with eatables and flowers galore
in the hall. Mr.. and Mrs. J. T.
Hendricks Of Hamilton took the Star

also gave the members pleasant and
instructive talk. At the meeting
last night steps were taken looking
to the certiication Of the death Of
James Thomas, the man believed to
have been drowned in the Blackfoot
couple Of months ago, and the Mas
ter Workman was empowered to ap-
point some one to go to the scene of
the accident and take testimony as to
the affair. He will probably appoint
some one in Missoula who is author
lied to administer oaths in that
county.

a Bad Fire.

Last Saturday morning about 1O:4O,
the cry Of "Firc = was heard on the
streets and a glance showed that the
destroying elcment had fastened up
on the home OF John A. Landlam," on
College street. Willing hands were
soon at work helping to get out the
furniture, for it was seen at once
that there was no show Of putting
out the fire, which had burst out in
an upper room and already gotten
beyond control. The lower floor was
soon cleared of everything it CON
tained, and that was all that could
be done there. The attention Of the
people was then turned to saving the
residence Of J. r. FaulCs, which set
about twenty feet away and was in
imminent danger. 4 bucket brigade
was organized and did noble work.
At two different times it looked as i
it would be impossible to save the
house, but just at the critical mo-
ment the roof Of the Landram house
fell in and soon the side next to the
other place followed, thuo lonacnin s
the heat, and renewed cXertions re-
suited in q victory over the flames.
1t was q horuic fight, and Mr.. Faulds
should feel grateful indeed to his
fellow citizens for the battle they
put up in defense OF his property,
and no doubt he does.
The origin Of the fire is not ex-
actly known, but it no doubt caught
from the separating of the pipe

ney into the bedroom where it was
first discovered. Mr.. Landram had
not been feeling well that morning
and was lying down in an upstairs
room adjoining the one in which tho
fire started. 1t was a cold, damp
morning and a fire had been started
in the sitting room stove. Landram
was aroused by the roar Of the flames
and jumped up and went to the room
where they were. On opening the
door he was met by burst Of flame,
and realizing at once that there was
no hope Of qucnching it he promptly
J closed the room door SO as to prevent
a draft and SO delay the destructive
work and gain time for the rcmova
Of the household goods. In doing sc
he was pretty badly scorched about
the face, his whiskers being burned
SO that after it was over he had II
be shaved clean. The stuff upstair
was all burned, including all Of Mis-
Ettas clothing except What She hat
on at the time and some belonging
to Mrs. Landram. What was savct
was in pretty fair order. All th
furniture in the Faulds' house wa
taken out, and some Of it was injured
but the bulk Of it is all right. Mr.
Landram carried no Insurance.: W
do not know whether Mr.. Faulds di
or not.
After the fire a subscription papc
was passed around among our citizen
and nearly enough was raised to en-
able Mr.. Landram to rebuild agail
l at once.

\ DUTY ON COTTON,
SOUTHERN MEMBERS URGE IT.
Younger Congressmen Break Over The Ideas of the Old Democracy and Want the American
 Product Protected
 by Tariff.
Chicago Record. |

WAsHlNGToN, D. C., March D. There is considerable significance in the movement of the younger mem bers of the Congressional delegations from the South to secure a duty of 2K cents a pound upon imported cotton. This indicates a new order of things, and breaking away from the free-trade traditions of the old Democracy of that section. It is noticed that the old veterans arenot engaged in these new departures, but only the younger generation, like McLauren, of South Carolina and Brantley, of Georgia. They claim that the importation of Egyp- tian cotton cuts in upon the sea island staple of the Atlantic coast. The Egyptian fibre is used chiefly in adulterating silks and other fine goods, and has a lustre that the ordinary domestic product does not show. The cotton men are talking of a combination with the wool growers and tue lumber inter- ests for mutual advantage. The wool men agree t0 throw their votes for a duty on cotton, provided the cotton men will bring them several votes from the South in the Senate in support of the proposed duties on wool. The cotton men say also that free wool is greatly to their dis advantage, and undoubtedly pre- vents the use of at least 100000 bales of cotton in the adulteration of woolen fabrics. The development of the protection sen timent in the South has been gradual, but firm and permanent, and this is the first time that the Southern Democrats have thrown aside their old policy and fallen in line with the protection ists of the North.

 The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record writes his paper as follows of Gen Powell Clayton and the Clay ton family:
 Gen Powell Clayton, of Arkan- sas, who has teen nominated as minister to Mexico, is one of four brothers who have been active and Influential in politics. One of them, John NJ. Clayton, was murdered some years ago while running for Congress against Clifton R. Breckin- ridge in Arkansas, but the three sur vivors were delegates to the Repub- liean convention at St Louis, and all of them voted for Mckinley.
 "Thomas J. Clayton has been for twenty-two years presiding justice Of the 10th judicial district of Penn- sylvania, which adjoins the city of Philadelphia in the southeastern part of the State. He is 70 years Of age, has been an extensive trayeler, and an omnivorous reader and is re- garded as a man of great learning.
 Powell Clayton, who has just been nominated as minister to Mexico, is next younger, being 6 years old. He was born in southeastern Pennsyl- vania, but went to Kansas as q boy in 1855, where he fought in the free soil movement When the war broke out he raised a company of Kansas men and entered the army as cap- tain. He came out as brigadier-gen- eral, and settled in Arkansas, where he took an active part in politics, and has been governor and United States senator. Powell Clayton is the eldest member of the national republican committee ill the length of his service, which dates back to the nomination of Grant, and he has been q delegate to every republican national convention since 1872. Ger. Clayton has various interests in Arkansas. and among others, is president of the Eureka Springs rail- way company, and the manager of the hotel at that resort. William Henry Harrison Clayton, 2 twin brother of the late John J. Clayton, who was murdered in Arkansas, is a resident Of Fort Smith, in that State, and lawyer by profession. He served through the war in the army of the Potomac, removed to l Arkansas in 1s67 and has served as prosecuting attorney, district attor- ney and on the bench almost con stantly since he was admitted to the bar.n

 MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 2O.- The creyasse at Charlottesville, Mo, is 400 feet wide. A break is reported at San Sanee, Ark, and the levee around Osceola has been abandoned. Water is also going over the levee at Modoc, Ark. A small break is also reported at Rescue, on the Mis- sissippi side, but the main levee be- hind the outer levee is in good shape.
 It is now certain that the St. Francis basin will be flooded and the loss of property frightful.
 Five thousand destitute people from the flooded districts are in Memphis, at least four-fifths oi whom are from Arkansas. Gov. Jones, of Arkansas, is being roundly censured for his curt telegram to the Memphis comlnittee stating that he could render no assistance in the relief of flood sufferers.
 The citizens of Desha county are hard at work to hold the leyee at and around Arkansas City, which is 1 in danger.
 Only two railroads are now run, ming out of Memphis. No more rise at this point on account of ths breaks in the levees, but the lower river will continue to go up. The situation from Cairo to Vicks burg is exceedingly grave.

We take the following from the Little Rock Democrat of yesterday:
 "Hon. E. c. Wehrfritz, of this city has assurances from Mir. c. Flames, of St. Louis, that the motor power on the 0uachita river, near Hot Springs, will be utilized shortly be- tween Little Rock and that point. Mr. Eames writes Mir. Wehrfritz as follows:
 "Referring to a conversation we had two or three weeks ago relative to the water power that l was about to purchase near Hot Springs, l wish to say that the deal has been consumated. It is the in- tention, as soon as practicable, to put in the dam and go ahead with the plant. Therefore, if you desire to make any mention of this fact, either among your friends or any publication that you areeorrespond- ent for, it will be agreeable to me.
 "In this connection, if you know ot anyone in Little Rock that would be interested in such an enterprise, yourself included, would be glad to correspond with them.
 .sIt is my idea to construct an cleo tric road from Little Rock to Hot Springs, and form a connection with the Little Rock & Memphis road. Nv plans have not been formed yet but l think there is no question but that sometime in the near future something will be done on this sub 1 iepf z
