Stature at Tronton, n. j. 1t appears that
nearly every State IN the country will pass

away of Trading Stamps by tic merchants
II the Trading Stamp Companies allowed
asVery merchant in tho city to purchase
stamps who wanted to, then so much OBJ

an injury to them. This is discriminating

AFTER WAITE'S SCALP.

The Democrat nan That His Sue
cessor Ne Appointed.
Great Falls. March 3l.-The last issue
of the Lewistown Democrat. delayed in
transmission several days by reason Of
w-blockaded roads, contains q de-
mand On the county commissioners to
appoint some n to succeed j. ID.
Waite as sheriff of Fergus county. II
bases its demand on section 1926 OF the
codes, which provides that any county
officer before leaving the state must
first obtain permission from the board
of county commissioners and absolutely
forbids an absence of so days or more.
Violation of this section Is punished by
forfeiture Of the Office. The Democrat
claims that not only has Sheriff Waite
been absent from the state more than
so days, but that prior to his leaving he
failed to btain permission for any alb
sence from the commissioners, and IL
urges the oroner, DR.. T. H. Monahan,
to take possession of the office and in
sist upon his rights until such time as
the board appoints a successor 10
Waite.
A dispatch from Lewistown states that
the libel suit brought by w T. MacFar-
AND of Utica against T. J. Johns. the
editor of the Democrat. has resulted in
a verdict for the defense. While the
jury believed hat the statements In an
article published in the Democrat were
untrue. 1t did not believe hat the same
were published maliciously. as the
paper obtained it's information from an
apparently reliable source. A similar
suit against the informant. Fred Hon-
man of Utica, also resulted in an ac-
quittal. The article which caused the
libel suits did not name Mcfarland.
but merely stated that certain officers
xr-hn hod xrisitad ITtipa in the fall of
'97 for the purpose of investigating the
causes of a death had become drunk
and had acted in a manner closely
verging on brutality.

Leave for Alaska.
Great Falls, March alt Is reported
from Fort A~ssinniboine that the two
companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry
stationed there have been ordered to
the Dry Tortugas. Fla, and that other
companies in the state belonging to the
same regiment have received similar
orders. The cavalry at Fort Assinni-
boine expected that they would be the.
first to receive moving orders and have
been railing at their brothers in the in
fantry, saying that the foot soldiers
would have to remain at home and
keep house while the cavalry took the
field, The joke is nov reversed.
Lieut.. r. B. Wallace, while at Lewis
town last week. engaged in the bust
ness Of organizing the militia company
there, stated hat the matter of calling
out the state troops rested entirely with
the governor. should that official In
time of emergency decide that the SER
vices of the enlisted men were abso-
lutely required, then there would be no
escape unless a member happened 10 be
a civil officer. The lieutenant added
hat in the event of war with Spain,
which he considers extremely doubt
full, there will be so many volunteers
that any of the militia who so desire
will find plenty of opportunities for
avoiding going to the front. He said
that the members of the regular army
were all anxious for active service, and
he himself hurried from L~ewistown

Tom Murphy Goes to Jail for Fighting
ON second street.
Great Falls, March 31.-This morning
was a bad one in the police u for
cigarmakers. Ton Murphy, who was
brought in last night for fighting on
Second street, and whose face at that
time looked like a freshly sliced beef
steak. claimed to be a cigarmaker. but
unfortunately stated Immediately
thereafter that he had been possessed
of $50, all of which he had spent in
various saloons. That looked very
suspicious, and the judge fined him $40
and costs. and for the lack of that sum
Tom went to jail for five days. Henry
Smith, who was arrested at the same
time and who bears a good reputation
in the community. was allowed to go
on the payment of s. and costs.
A. Williams was the other cigarmak-
err. and he was brought in at $50 o'clock
this morning from the bee hall where
Officer Curry found him drunk and
without means. He vas before the
court a few days & and the judge
evidently thought that the cigarmakers
of the country were raiding h town
as the cooks did a year ago. Williams
got SIS and costs. but the fine was sus-
pended on condition that he immedi-
ately leave the town. He went.
