CHILD KILLED BY A CAR.
Julian Mcdowell Is struck, and Dies
from His Injuries.

Julian Mcdowell the 5-year-old son
of Mr.. T. n. Mcdowell, No. 712 Scott
street. was struck by Electrician No.
o. OF the Traction Company. Motorneer
Caldwell in charge, at Twenty-second and
Venable streets at o'clock last evening.
and died three hours later from the in
juries sustained.
The child, il seems, attempted to get
on the car while in motion. and was
struck on the step. His skull was frac-
tured at the forehead and crushed, large
pieces of the outer bone falling to the
pavement with the blood.
The motorneer Caldwell was arrested
promptly. and was later bailed at the
First Police-Station for his appearance
at the Police Court this morning.
The ambulance was called at $40, and
responded with DR.. Gwathmey in charge.
DR.. Gwathmey had the injured boy,
whom persons near by had laid upon the
sidewalk and were caring for as best
they could. put in the ambulance and
taken to the home Of his parents. DR..
John f. Jackson, the family physician,
was summoned, and reached the house
about 9:3O DR.. j. Allison Hodges, the
physician to the railway company, also
visited the lad about the same time.
Both experienced physicians did not
think any medical treatment could save
him, though they did all they could to
quiet his pain. He was unconscious when
the nearest persons reached him after he
was struck, and never aroused from the
stupor The physicians told the heart
broken parents they would come in the
morning." but neither of them thought
il would be necessary.
The conductor on the car was not ar
rested.
Persons who reached the scene first
after the accident are not disposed to
attach blame to the carmen for the hor-
rible result. Their impression was that
the child either did not see the car and
suddenly darted Out in its path or else
was playfully trying to get a ride when
struck

FATHER ALLAEYs' DEPARTURE.
The Pastor Of 80. Paul's Leaves for Great
Falls Next Friday.

Inc Eo9tOT Of SIs foule Le0yee hOE oES8s
Falls Next Friday.
Last night Father H. b. Allaeys an
nounced to st. Paul's congregation that
he had been appointed by the bishop to
the mission at Great Falls. to which
place he will move next Friday. Rev.
Father G.. Toilet Of Great Falls beccmes
the rector of st. Paul's church OF n
conda- He Is well known to man. of
the congregation.
The reason for the change is that
Father Allaeys fears the coming win
ter may have a serious effect upon his
health. Last winter he suffered Sc
verely from rheumatism and II was at
his own request that he Is transferred
to another station. Father Allaeys be-
lieves that. in a lower altitude. his all
ment will be mitigated to some extent
at least.
Father Allaeys has been the pastor OF
st. Paurs Catholic church Of this city
for more than five years; he came to
Anaconda in April. 1893, n has since
hat time been unremitting in his work
for the welfare of st. Paul's congrega-
ton. Father Allaeys, prior to his COM
ing to Anaconda, was stationed at
F~renchtown. During his period Of faith
full service In Anaconda many things
have been done which add to both the
spiritual and material welfare Of the
Va hitts
| cipal work which has been carried out
under Father AIlaeys' direction has been
the acquisition to the diocese of much
property. A piece of property has been
purchased by the church adjoining that
upon which the ediice now stands and
ground has also been bought with a
view to building ~parochial institutions.
Father Allaeys has also established a
parochial library, which Is ~patronized
Inv MANY of the CONGREGATION.
The care of the Anaconda congrega-
ton Is a task which but few priests
could successfully undertake. but
Father Alleys has shown that he has
not only the ability to guide his people
spiritually, but also financially. Father
Allaeys has always fostered the most
harmonious spirit. and during his stay
in the city the congregation has been
a unit in furthering his efforts for ad-
vancement. The departure of Father
Allaeys is sincerely to be regretted
and the large Catholic community here
will look with sadness upon the day
when he leaves. Father Allaeys has
won the love. respect and esteem. not
only Of his own people, but also OF Pro
t~estants and others. who consider him
a jealous faithful laborer In the
field for righteousness n business
against sin and d~epravity. The leave
takings which Father Allaeys this weel
will undergo will be painful In the ex'
IRENE. and he will have the best, mos
true and most sincere wishes OF tn
people OF Anaconda for success in hi
new field. .
The Catholic congregation here vii
welcome Father Toilet in a warm AM
heartfelt spirit. Father Toilet Is no
unknown to Anaconda, at least by repu
tation. His work in other parts OF TN
state is known here. and the peopl
need nave no apprehension hat the ex
cellent service rendered by Father n
laws will be discontinued.

valued by a base-minded slanderer as al

his superstructure OF f~alsehood. The re-
publican press of this state In a frantic
endeavor to distract the attention OF the

day after day in their columns. One OF the
chief Of these lies is that Mr.. Campbell

All In Good Shape.

IDwAv OF the campaign In Mon
MI tana. the situation is one that
brings forward no surprises. II
Is one that warrants those who are
standing up for silver to anticipate
with satisfaction the outcom at the
polls.
Senator Carter set the pace for this
years politics in Montana. The state
would have attended carefully TO Its
~free-coinage record in any event. but
Mr.. Carter precipitated a contest in
some Of the counties. where II has be-
come necessary for the friends OF silver
to assert themselves more aggressive
iy than would have been the case but
for Mr.. Carriers activity.
That gentleman had two motives. He
wished. first. to make IL appear 20 Mr..
ann and the republican managers as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Hanna that silver
sentiment Is dying out in Montana; In
the second place. his aim Is to capture
all the holdover anti-silver state sena-
tors he can. tina he may have them at
his service in 1901. when his senate
term expires.
Meanwhile. II is admitted that Mr..
Carter's work is made insidious by his
effort 20 blind Montana voters as TO
the notorious policy Of the republican
party. IL seems impossible that there
should be In this state a considerable
number Of voters who. by n amount
of false testimony. can be hoodwinked
as 10 the republican party's aggressive
hostility TO silver; still. Mr.. Carriers
barefaced false witness is in the cam
paign: the democrats were compelled
to recognize its presence. and the whole
bent of their work is to make as slar-
ing rs possible the covert course by
which Mr.. Carter is seeking to deceive
the public. IL is the indisputabie truth
that there IL not an ADMINISTRATION re-

he HELD MONEY CHEAP.
uow Thieves Were Diverted From Rob
hing m Man of Thousands.

The recent series of hold-ups makes
me think of the time we came near
losing quite a sun of money, says d
prominent business man. 1T was wnlle
we were building the town of Pullman.
and often the payroll called for $30,ooO.
We paid the men every two weeks.
as there was no express office there
then the money had to be carried IN
cash to Pullman from this city. one
day IL would be taken out there,
that night IL would be put in envelopes
for zach man and in the morning CIV
en- to them. On this particular DAY
the detectives had discovered a plot
to waylay the man VINO was 10 .ake
out the money and get 1t. But hey
did not get the information quick
enough. for as they reached the station
they saw the train just pulling out.
The young man, not knowing that ne
was being followed, was entirely at
ease and threw the valise he carried
down on the floor and went across the
car to talk to a cousin, who was on
the train. OF course the valise was
where he could see IT, but he took no
further notice of 1t thar to see that II
was there. The men who had planned
10 get the money were completely stag
gered and kept close watch on him. Al
Sixteenth street the young man STEP
ped to N door to assist his cousin 10
the platform and went back to the car
and sat down and put his feet on the
yalise for a rest. The act OF going 10
the door and leaving the valise had
completely finished the doubt that the
thieves had entertained, and they came
to the conclusion that this was not tins
man or hat they had mistaken theii
time. So they left h train at the
next stop. And the money reached
the men all right. My friend has since
said that IL he had known that some
one intended to rob him II would have
rendered him nervous and he would
have lost his nerve and betrayed him
self and lost the money"

vas developing into a roaring
farce. Roosevelt started out to make
a spectacular campaign. He Is max

when the locomotive has snorted on
