SACRiFICIAl OFFERINGS.
-TheIsepubiicans Make Their Nominations
SO ~ @ for Aldermen.

n helsepubiicans Make Their Nonination
80 for Aldermen.
= Great Falls, March 25.-The weather,
or some other equally depressing cause,
must have had its effect upon the re-
, publican primaries tonight, for they,
the republicans, were few in number
and detected in appearance At the
first ward, where about two hundred
appeared to represent the democratic
party TWO nights ago, tonight there was
but a bakers dozen, who seemed to
hope for nothing and are for still less.
Those present put up j. A. Collins for
alderman in a hes a good fellow and
/ am sorry for him" sort of way, and
there was none to say nay. All pres
ent Joined in the vote in a ~listless man
ner and he was declared the nominee.
The republicans had the good taste not
to demand a speech from their sacrifcial
offering. and after appointing delegates
to the city convention, fastened about
their business.
Down In the second ward they seemed
TO feel still worse, and it only took a
minute or two for some one to suggest
the name of a republican war horse of
the ward who has suffered long at the
hands of his party, and is evidently
ready to suffer a little more. The vic
tim selected was Sam WILDER, the dray-
man, and he is entitled TO sympathy
from now on, as 1t is a conceded fact
that he has no chance at all with the
democratic nominee, George Woods.
1t took considerable time in the other
wards for enough republicans to get to-
gether to make a decent primary. In
the third ward finally there was enough
to make a sheriff's posse in a Nevada
town, and they proceeded to business.
A. ]. Sullivan, who has led the party to
victory before, was too wise to allow his
name to be used, and he sloughed the
game off to A. s. Fletcher, who is all
right, perhaps, as a business man but
lacks a great deal of being a success
full candidate In his ward. The others
were perfectly willing that he should
go to the slaughter. and he was nomi-
mated unanimously.
In the fourth var there was the
same hesitancy in forcing the undesir-
able honor upon the victim. 1t was
hard work to get the crowd to the sham
bles, but when they were there n victim
was quickly found. 1t was H. II.
Matheson, cashier OF the First National
bank. He is an excellent citizen, and
highly esteemed in the community. but,
unfortunately, this is an off year for
republicans, and he is now marching
toward certain defeat. AS i'm the other
wards, as soon as a willing victim was
found, the lest FASTENED to place the
cord about his neck. His nomination
was unanimous.

A Piano Player In Jail with an Attack OF
Delirium Trenaens.

A Piano Player In Jail with an Attack Of
Deiirium Tremens-
Great Falls. March 25.-Among the
boarders at the city Jail is Fred KIM
ball, a piano player by occupation. He
has been out of work for some time.
but has managed to get enough whis-
key and more thar enough. He spent
all of a s night in trying to rub of
some imaginary yellow stains on his
hands, and most of the time to-day he
has been promenading up and down the
Jail floor carrying whatever loose
pieces of furniture he could pick up. He
is evidently suffering from a bad at
ack of delirium tremens, n 1t will
be some days before he is able to stand
trial on the charge of common drunk.
The county physician is attending him
in the meanwhile.
Early this morning. Officer Sheehy
arrested Robert Switzer Jack of the
Progress restaurant. and taking him to
the station booked him on a charge of
drunk and ~disorderly. This forenoon
Justice Hawkins fined him SO and
costs, but Switzer begged hard and
promised so solemnly to do better that
his honor merely suspended the fine
during good behavior.

Neihart school Closed.

Great Falls. March 25.-As a precau-

danger of an epidemic of scarlet fever
the Neihart schools have closed for one
week. So far as known there is not a
case of the dread disease in the camp.
but a few days ago a small son of j..
A. Richey. after removal to Belt. de-
veloped symptoms of fever, and Willie
Vaughn later was taken to Great Falls
for treatment. and the physicians here
pronounced him afflicted with scarlet
fever. The school board very wisely
decided to take no chances. and closed
the schools to prevent any possible
spread of the disease.

some trouble at Chinook on Wednes-

MOORE'S CONFESSION
CLEARS ONE MAN, IMPLICATES
ANOTHER
After ALL, the Man Exonerated Seems
to Be a Good Subject For
the Gallows

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 12.-The Bee
this evening publishes a confession
made by c. NJ. Raymond, alias Moore,
who is now in the Folsom prison, and
who is to be hanged on the sth day of
April next for the murder of Fred An
drews in hotel at Baden, San Mateo
county. He exonerates Winters, who is
sentenced to be hanged with him for
completely in the crime, and duplicates
man by the name of Willets.
The condemned man told Warden Aull
that he and Winters went to Baden one
week prior to the shooting and exam
ined the building. They then went back
to San Francisco, where Moore secured
a revolver from Winters. Later, Moore
says, he met Willets, who was an ex-
convict, and together they returned to
Baden. While there, Moore said, he
met Winters in Holy Cross cemetery
and got another pistol from him. Will
lets and Moore that night entered Fer
riter's hotel for the purpose of commit
ting the burglary.
Some one who was at the head Of the
me down stairs. The noise attracted
several other roomers who appeared
on the scene. At the foot of the stairs l
looked up and saw several people struG-
Cling with Willets, when 1 shot four
times"
Warden Aull asked Moore what Win
ters was doing in Baden at that time, if
he was not implicated in the murder.
Moore said he was there for the pur-
pose of robbing the paymaster of the
Webster Meat company, who was to pay
off the men at the slaughter house the
next day.
Warden Aull asked him il Winters
knew that Moore and Willets were going
to commit the burglary, and he replied
that he did.
Harry Winters was to have swung
from the same scaffold with Moore or
April Sth.

day. The crowd acclaimed the officers
and there were few scuffles. but moth
ing serious occurred.
1t is said that Col. Picquart has sent
his seconds to M. Henry. on account OF
the latter's assertion that the colonel
lied.
IN THE DEPUTIES
In the chamber of deputies today sew
eral members sought to revive the Drey-
fus discussion, but the minister for war,
Gen. Billot, and the premier, M. Meline,
urged that the Interpolation be deferred
until the trial of NJ. Zola is finished. M.
Roche attempted to reply. but he was
caleld to order and the government was
sustained by a vote of AIS to 72.
Gen. Billot denounced the reports that
he was negotiating with the Dreyfus
family concerning a reopening OF the
case, and he repeated that Dreyfus was
guilty.
Upon arriving at his residence NJ. Zola
was mobbed by a crowd. who assailed
him with abusive and insulting epithets.
but the police dispersed the crowd. The
latest move of the anti-Zola agitators is
signalling with whistle, which quickly
brings together a mob of professional
rowdies when Zola is near. 1t is re-
ported that when the excitement shall
have abated the case of Dreyfus will be
submitted to the supreme court of cas-
sation, the jurisdiction of which extends
to courts-martial when martial law has
not been proclaimed. The secret docu-
ment, the report says, will be submitted
to these law lords en- camera.
The question of NJ. Zola's personal
safety is seriously exercising his friends,
who assert that several notorious GRIM
inals have been seen lowering about the
court building throughout the week. 1t
is suggested that they have been lavish
ly bribed to injure NJ. Zola seriously,
even if they do not kill him.
The grave feature of the situation is
the incursion of mob law inside and out
side the Palais de Justice. Every dwell
ing of the Rothschilds is guarded as if it
were powder magazine.
1t is expected that the trial will be
concluded on Thursday next. 1t ap-
pears that there are certain flaws in the
which may entitle NJ. Zola
to appeal to the supreme court.
