to visit the Calder home an the Mus
selshell and it was this that brought
him into the present trouble. He is
q years old and a medium sized
dark featured young man of less than
average Intelligence. The Calder's
are natives of Ohio and have been i'm
Montana for nine years. Their
mother married Sam Smith, with
whom they have since had much
trouble, "Biu' threatening not long
ago to kill Smith. Lou Lewis is uncle
by marriage to the Calder boys.
The boys had $l1.5O with. them
when captured, $40 of which has
been spent by the sheriff at their re-
quest. 1t is not improbable that the
court will have to appoint attorneys
to conduct the defense, though the
confession of two of them seems to
make conviction easy and certain.
McRea is quite we'll known in the
section where he had made his home
and bore a good reputation.
To Mr.. Sherman and his assistants
action taken which resulted in the
capture, but no blame is attached to
the sheriff's Office. for as noted last
week, the Information first sent did
not state facts or even suspicious
sufficiently strong to warrant the be-
lief that a murder had been COM
mitted. AS soon as authentic news
arrived or there appeared reasonable
grounds for suspicion, Sheriff Waite
responded and, lost no time in mov-
ing along the trail.
JEFF Sherman, the hero of the Nc
Rea murder case, reached Lewistown
today. The bodies of the murdered
men have not been found, but Mr..
Sherman is certain that II permitted
to take Billy Calder to the scene the
prisoner will tell where he left the
remains.

is SERVING HERSELF
England's Friendship for America
Not Wholly Unselfish.
At Every Turn of Affairs Ii Has Been
shown That Gle Association
Was Mutually Advan-
tageous.

The London correspondent OF the
New York Tribune says:
There is a solid basis of self-interest
underneath the good feeling existing
between England and America. Each
country, while Indirectly helping the
other, promotes directly It's own in
terests and policies. This is the ele-
mentary fact which explains the
rapid development of friendly rela-
lions between the two count ries since
the settling of the war cloud over Cuba.
They Lave been acting together in an
amable spirit, and at every turn of af-
fairs experience has proved that close
associa tion was mutually advantage
GUS Good feeling steadily increases
when on each side the practical bene-
fits of mutual good will are perceived
The first gCcd service which England
rendered to America was that of
thwarting a European combination
for friendly mediation between Spain
and the United States. The real OBJ
jcct of the continental powers was to
establish a European concert respect
ing Cuba, by which the Monroe doc
trine would have been upset. Austria
Hungary initiated the intrigue;
France supported it, carrying Russia
with her; Germany assented to IL, with
the proviso that the cooperation of
England should be secured, and Italy
would not have remained outside the
concert if it had been formed. The
plot failed because Great Britain,
owing largely to the good Judgment of
Mr.. Arthur Balfour and Sir Julian
3.ly ax-f in,
a coalition which might be embarrass-
ing to the Washington government.
The second service which England
was enabled to perform for America
was that of ordering Admiral Dewey's
feet out of Hong-Kong under a strict
construction of neutrality obligations.
The feet being without naval base or
coaling station made a descent upon
Manila, destroyed the Spanish squad
ron and held the Philippines as a se-
curity for the payment of war in
demnity after the close of hostilities.
Whenever England is drawn into a
naval war the precedent WILDE of great
utility to her government. and il Will
be a source of embarrass TO any
power whom she may be fighting on
the high seas.
The appearance of Admiral Camara's
squadron at Port Said offered a fresh
illustration of the fact that England in
indirectly aiding the United States is
working out her own policies with
signal success. Lord Cromer is the
master of Egypt. and the Suez canals
the highway to India. British in
terests require. first, that the canal
shall remain open in peace and war to
the fleets of all nations: and, second,
that there shall be no coaiing facilia
ties at either end for belligerent ships.

CAUSES OF SUFFERING.
Chaplain Bateman Declares Haste to Have
Been the Cause of Suffering Among
Troops.

Chaplain G. c. Bateman, formerly
stationed at Fort Assinniboine, is
now at Fort Sherman, Idaho, hav-
ing recently returned from Cuba.
Referring to the current stories of
unnecessary suffering and sickness
among the troOps, Chaplain Bate
man says:
1.-The evils which beset the cam
paign were due to the precipitate
haste and the unpreparedness of this
country for war. Inexperience was
every where manifest but / don't
think the secretary Of war should be
blamed for the crime of congress and
the yellow journals which were re-
sponsible for sending an army into
the tropics in midsummer.
I'VE went pell nell into Cuba, and
did what we were sent to do and
did it quickly, and now il the Ameri-
can people cannot bear the evils
which naturally follow war, then
let them solemnly declare to all
nations that we will never again go
to war.
"There has been quite too much of
complaints of matters which could
not he helped. l have heard volun-
teers whine about bad treatment un-
til 1 am worn out with it, but the
old regular who makes war his busi-
ness has borne his burden without a
murmur.
IF we can't endure war we have
ceased to be war like; if we have
ceased to be war like, we have ceased
to be a nation which will long COM
mand the wholesome, manly re-
spect of the world.
II admit that things might have
been better, and they might have
been a great deal worse. That there
was conspiracy to treat soldiers
badly is of course sheer rubbish. War
is savage business. General Sherman
said war is hell and / endorse the
definition.

Musselshell search was made for the
tbodies but none were found. Near
the mouth of the Porcupine on the
Yellowstone, the posse overlook the
murderers and held them up.
James Calder and Fisher were just
breaking camp and promptly surren-
de-ed, remarkinG that they were glad
they were caught as they had been
expecting it since the crime was COM
mitted. Bill Calder was with the
sheep, but had no arms with him and
was also required to hold up his
syth was reached the next day and
Mr.. Sherman at once telegraphed to
Lewistown announcement of the cap
ture, which report appeared in our
issue of last week.
Sheriff Waite had left Lewistown
Sunday morning and reaching Flat
] willow, he left his team and contin-
ued the pursuit on horseback, taking
two men with him. He, of course,
was two days behind the posse. but
reached Forsythe the morning after
the prisoners had been brought in and
taken from there to Billings.
Mr.. Sherman and his posse were
sent back over the trail to take care
of the sheep and to look for the bod
les and news from them lis expected
at any time. Last Saturday a re-
port was current that the bodies had
been found, but this has not been
verified. Lewis saw in the river what
he thought to be a log, but inasmuch
as the bodies were tied together and
wrapped, this object is believed to
have been the bodies. As the river is
low, there is no chance of the remains
being f1oated to another point than
where they were dumped.
Mr.. Waite heard rumors in Billings
OF an attempt to lynch the prisoners
and another story reached him of
gang of range riders who were
camped between Billings and Lavina
being willing to take the law into
their hands, SO to ensure safety, the
prisoners were brought to Helena
and to Lewistown from Benton.
Bill Calder, is 26 years old, short
and looks well fed. He has a bad
reputation in Billings where heposed
as a pugilist and all-round tough.
He is not unfamiliar with the Billings
Jail. As he sits in the Jail in Lewis
town he gives one the impression of
a reader of yellow-backed literature
AMI one proud of the title of ''smart
alleck." James Calder is but Is years
old and presents quite a contrast to
his brother. He is tall and slender,
his face is not that of a bad boy and
one would hardly believe him capable
of taking part in such a monstrous
crime. Fisher, who signs his initials
sometimes as j. d. and other times
as j. E. came to Montana from Indi-
ana three months ago. He is piano
player and was engaged as such in
the dives OF Billings for short time.
He claims that Bill Calder invited him

Silver Republicans and Popu,
lists Meet to Fill
Vacancies.
RESULTS IN A SPLIT
Hartman Pulls a Gard From His
Sleeve in the Shape Of an
Order From Towne De-
posing Chairman
Mantle.

Butte, Oct. THE Silver Republi-
can party split in two at the meeting
of the state committee here today.
Charles S. Hartman walked out of the
committee, accompanied by o. p.
Chisholm of Gallatin; r. A. O'Hara,
of Ravalli, and w. H. SWEET. of
Butte, secretary of the committee.
The split came about in this way:
Hartman demanded of Senator
Mantle the meaning of the endorse
ment of the Gold Republican candi-
dates in Cascade and MissoulA
counties by Silver Republicans and
whether the Silver Republican state
committee would support these can
didates. Mr.. Mantle replied that the
committee would support the ticket.
Hartman then produced an order
from Charles A. Towne, chairman of
the Silver Republican national COM
mittee. deposing Lee Mantle as
chairman of the Montana committee
on account of his favoring fusion
with Gold Republicans, and appoint
ing o. p. Chisholm in his place.
Mr.. Mantle ridiculed the order and
claimed that Mr.. Towne had no
authority to depose a chairman who
had been appointed by the state
convention. He refused to be de-
posed. Mr.. Hartman and his fol-
lowers then walked out. They or
ganized a new committee and nomi-
mated A. J. Campbell for congress-
man.
The Mantle portion of the Silver
Republicans continued in session.
They received communication
from the populist central committee
stating that they had nominated T.
S. Hogan, secretary of state, for
congressman; Theodore Brantley for
chief justice. and j. NJ. Clements, OF
Helena, for associate justice. The
Silver Republicans endorsed Hogan,
but did not endorse Clements.
Brantley is their own candidate and

they endorsed the nomination of D.
NJ. Holmes, of Great Falls, for clerl,
of the supreme court.
The Mckinley Republicans, Popu.
lists and Clark Democrats effected a
fusion here tonight on the county
ticket. The Mckinley men take
seven representatives and senator
the Clark men three representatives
and the POpulists two. The Silver
Republicans did not join the fusion

hear Admiral Dewey as Remembered By a
City Government Official.

Something like II years ago Rear
Admiral Dewey was assigned to the
light house department in Washington
Tor shore duty and while there a
prominent city government official of
this city was under him. In speaking
of Dewey the official said:
He is gentleman all through.
While he was over US and had us un-
der his full control he seldom made a
demand. What he told us to do was
more in the form of a request and there
was always please" with the orders
he gave us.
AS the head Of the office we were in
he had messenger who was supposed
to do all the running for him. In fact
had he SO wished he might have stayed
at his desk and had a messenger boy
to summon US to his desk. That was
not his way Of doing things though. He
was all life and action. Time and time
us he would get up and come to our
desks aud tell us what he wished done,
where other men would have called in
the messenger and through him told
us what to do
Il never saw such a decisive man. I'll
you asked him what should be done hcI
did NOT 80 into trance before giving
an answer. The words were hardly off
our lips before he had an answer ready
for Us. And this decision always proved
to be correct, too. 1t was the same in
all his movements. lie acted as quick
ly as he thought, and in decisive
manner.
He showed the effect of his naval
school training in his work. He was at
his desk at a certain time every morn
ing and while in the office was an un-
firing and unccasing worker. He ex-
pected those under him to work in the
same manner and yet he was not a
hard man to work for. If a man want
ed half a Gay TO himself he always got
it. In spite of this he was not man
ON whom any one would try 10 impose
the second time. When he found a
man was asking off too often he would
simply say, 1t would be better to post
pone that until later 1t was. not 50
much what he said but the way he
man that prevented a second a.
tempt of trying to work him.
Il have written good many letters
for him and when l carried them to
linn to be looked over he never hesita-
ted what to do A few strokes of the
pen and the letters were given to ne
again. He never hesitated whal to do
even in a small matter like that.
Il never say a man who hated y
sneak or Il liar as he did. If a man
came out and fought openly he had re-
snect for him. It was when the man
was behind his back, taking advantage
of the position that he hated the per-
son.
ANY favor done for him was always
fully appreciated. 1t made no differ
ence who did il or how small the favor
was. BY it his gratitude was always
won.
"A good many of the military people
officers, especially those in the army
seem above other people. It was not 50
with him. He could always stoop to
those on a different social plane and
| never failed to speak to those whom ne
| had met.
"Everylpody in the Office liked him and
would do almost anything for him. In
| fine. he was man, as | saw him, Who
| would be a true friend. We have all
