TO SPLIT UP HIS VOTE
REPUBLICANS TRIED TO GET A
SECOND WAGNER TO RUN
FOR SHERIFF
HE WAS TEMPTED WITH $500

1t Was, However, n Failure, and the
News of the Matter Reached the
Ears of the Democratic Commit
tec-Enthusiastic Meetings of
In Spite of the Rain.
George f. Wagner was offered $500
If he would allow the use of his name
as a candidate for sheriff as an indie
pendent.
A week or more ago The G b said
that an attempt had been made to get
a man named Wagner to go on the
ticket as an Independent with view
to breaking away some Of the Wagner
strength. The fact was known in a
general way that the George Irish man
ayers had made an attempt to secure
Wagner for this purpose, but 1T was
no. definitely known who had been ap-
preached. Now the story has come OUT
and it is evidence of about as despicabte
a piece of politics as has been attempt
ed in this town in many year. When
the attempt to get a Wagner to allow
the use CT his name failed, turn was
made in another direction and the can
didacy of Otto Sauer is the result.
Two weeks ago tOnlOrTON, CCt d,
George r. Wagner was at Dale street
and University avenue when he was
approached Mr.. Wagner works at the
West Publishing company and lives in

work evenings, and on the evening Ie-
ferred to was posting the books Of
butcher. whose place of business is at
the corner mentions d.
Mr.. Wagner knew that there was an
offer out for Wagner 10 allow the use
OF his name His brother August had
previously been approached on the
same subject and had refused to listen.
On the night referred TO George f.
Wagner was called upon by one Arthur
Gaines and sounded as to how he fit
about John Wagner. He had some
talk with Gaines and the latter con-
cluded by saying that if he wanted to
make a little money he could do 1t
readily enough.
Wagner asked him what he meant,
and Gaines explained that he wanted
to use his name as an independent can
didate for sheriff, and that it might be
worth $500 if he would allow the use
of his name and he would have no other
work to do than stand pat when he
was put in the field.
Wagner refused fat to have anything
to do with such an affair and Gaines
left him.
The offer was traced directly to the
George h. irish crowd, ana there was
enough talk about it to create a stir,
but not until yesterday was 1t finally
brought fully to light.
Sheriff Wagner had already heard
the story when a G ! o b man spoke
to him Of it.
Il was quite certain that they were
trying to hire a man with a name SINH
lar TO mine," he said, and I was
equally certain that they could not get
one without importing him. for / know
all of the Wagners-a very similar
name. 1 heard that August Wagner,
the brother Of George, had been ap-
preached but I did not do anything
for 1 was certain that such a game
would react on the Republicans. I sup
pose they will try to sneak out of this
thing, for it is a dirty affair for a
man to be mixed in, but 1 understand
that there is very complete evidence as
to the offer"

Agent Agnew Says 1t Was a Great
SEccess.
Advertising Agent Samuel Agnew, of the
Great Northern, returned from a trip to the
coast yesterday. He visited Tacoma, Seattle,
Spokane and the Kootenai country and is
enthusiastic regarding the prospects out there.
Everybody in Spokane said Mr.. Agnew,
lis confident that prosperity will strike that
city very soon. 1 visited the great fruit far
there and was astonished with the things
saw Everyone is deeply interested in the fu-
ture Of the state Of Washington as a fruit
center and every variety of fruit is exhibited
at the fair. There almost much space
given to mining ores and implements and
machinery as to fruit. There is a great
mining boom in that state. I talked with a
number of miners and they all expressed be-
lief that Washington mines would excel tn -se
of the Klondike.
In the Kootenai country I found many
new mines opened and miners busy prospect
ing and working their claims. Everybody in
that section was certain that great discoveries
are to be made there and that in a few years
it would rival Ell Dorado. The outlook all
over the West is most promising.

Negroes Leaving Louisiana.

From the Monroe, La, News.
For some unexplained reason the ne
groes are drifting away from the farm
lands in the northern part of Louisiana
and going to Arkansas. This movement
has been in progress for years. Some
time ago negroes We're brought into this
section of the state from other states to
become tenant farmers, but these, also,
are going and the time is approaching
when many of the large plantations will
be tenantless. We reject the idea of I'M
porting more negroes. and also oppose n
suggestion that white men be sought as
tenants, believing that white man who
has no ambition above that of always be-
ing tenant IL shftless, spiritless and not
worth having. The best plan is TO cut the
large plantations into small farms and
endeayar 10 sell them to white settlers.
Some parishes III the state have succeeded
in attracting farming population from
the Northern and Western states, and
there is no reason why Northern Louis
lana may not. with proper advertising.

TELEcRAPHY WITHOUT NOISE.
New sounder Aids the Operator and Makes
Secrecy Possible.

New sounder Aids the Operator and Makes
Secrecy Possible.
From the Electrical Engineer.
The introduction of typewriting ma
chimes in telegraph offices, on which
operators take down the messages re-
ceived, has necessitated increasing the
volume of sound emanating from the
saunders in order to make their clicks
clearly distinguishable above the click
Of the typewriting machine. The result
has been that the noise in telegraph
offices has in many cases increased to
such an extent as to be a serious me-
mace TO the health of the operators. In
order to reduce this noise and to make
the received message entirely secret a
special sounder has been invented. The
sounder. which is enclosed in hard
rubber case, is very light. the whole
thing, with conducting cord complete,
weighing but four ounces. 1t can be
used not only without the slightest in
convenience to the operator but much
TO his comfort and advantage, relieving
him of all unnecessary nerve and phys
fcal strain. 1t can be attached direct
ly to the main line, where it acts as a
the service of both, without any of the
main line sounder.
The mechanism of this little inStru-
ment is very simple, consisting of set
of electro-magnetS of from to $50
ohms resistance faccording to require
ments). An ingenious arrangement of
the armature and lever brings the for
mer i'll actual contact with the poles of
the magnets in such manner as TO
double the working force of the arma-
ture. The armature lever is provided
with hammers, which, in action, strike
upon resonating plate; a shifter or
switch at the side of the case draws
the hammers from the plate and re-
duces the sound to a minimum.
Owing to the loudness of the sound
when the hammers strike upon the re-
sonating plate, messages may be re-
eeived with the sounder placed on the
table or desk and in this way it may be
used for call, thus combining in one
instrument both IL loud and secret
sounder Should 1t be desired to take a
secret message, the sounder is adjusted
from the outside by means of the shift
er referred to. which is graded so that
the operator may regulate the volume
of sound to suit his own ear. This may
be from the faintest click to the full
volume of the loudest sounder. The in
strument is then worn on the head
The case and head band being made of
hard rubber, insures the operator from
shock from abnormal currents passing
over the line.

ELECTION NEXT MONTH

Dozen New Recruits Little to

Four weeks from tomorrow is the
date Of the city election. At that time
Anaconda will elect six aldermen to take
the places of those who last year drew
lots for the short term. The traditional
political pot Is frozen up tighter than a
clam. There is no interest manifested in
the coming election here. which is in
striking contrast with conditions last
year at this time in the city. There Is
little in sight for the new council to do
that would require any great expendl-
ture of the city's cash, and when cash
doesn't figure in a campaign il is usu-
ally dull affair all through. If there
are any candidates for aldermen they
are keeping quiet, but 1t is believed that
few, If any. men have stopped to think
of the approaching municipal election,
and indications are for a quiet cam
paign.
