many friends of Jake Franzman will
be glad to hear that Jake is well and
that he has been so fortunate as to find
at least good partner. Mr.. Morrison
says he has made some money but is
not yet ready to come south We trust
that his next seasons wash will prove
more remunerative than the last and
that he will be rewarded for his toll
The mail service is exceptionally good
from Alaska at present. Mr.. Morri-
sons letter left Dawson City on June
27, and reached Seattle on July 25,
less than "a month on the way. There
is no postage stamp on the envelope,
but in place is stamped, Ship s
Letter. -
Dawson City and the klondike was
no new country for Mr.. Morrison. He
had been all over that section during
the years 1895 and 1896. before the rich
strikes We're made. He left here in
April 1895, on his first trip n orth, and
went all over the klondike country.
There was little mining done there at
that time, and after spending year
without any encouraging results, he
returned to Philipsburg late in the fall
of 1896. The following winter gold was
discovered in large quantities in the
very section he had been tramping
over, and the early spring of 1897
found him again on his way North.

PRINCE BISMARCK DEAD.

The Iron Chancellor, Germany S
greatest statesman, died last Saturday,
July 80, shortly before midnight, at
his castle at Freidrichsruhe, at the age
of 50 years Prince Otto Won Bis
marck was to Germany what Glad
stone was to England, and his memory
will be immOrtalized throughout the
German empire. The fact that there
is Il German empire is one of his great
achievements. In 1867 Prussia and
Bavaria We're at war with each other
and union between Northern and
Southern Germany would have been
considered impossible. The feeling
was very bitter, similar to that Of ou1
civil war. Only three years later, in
1870. Germany had declared war
against France, a power looked upon
as invincible throughout Europe, and
on August 1, the United German
forces fought the memorable battle of
Worth. They We're united as solid as
our North and South are today. This
was the work Of Bismarck, and to him
the German empire owes the deepest
gratitude, 1t was he who brought
about this nnion and made Germany a
power among the powers of the world.
The entire German empire is in mourn
! ing. They have lost the greatest
statesman they ever had.

4 NEW ERA.

men are scare and help for the har-

not been such Il shortage of help for

wages ave paid, men are hard to get.

The Reason waIdemar stein Il = German

Great Falls, Oct. 2i.-A few days ago
some space in these columns-more
than the situation r~equired-was devot-
ed to the german silver candidacy on
the gold republican ticket of Waldo
mar Stein, who is anxious to legislate.
Among other statements was one that
he had offered the support of his paper.
the Montana Herald. to the democratic
committee for a consideration. Mr..
stein ~contradicted that statement In a
wandering communication to the local
gold bug organ on Tuesday evening,
and he also visited the Standard office
that evening and denied the truth OF
the statement, said he would not be-
lieve Il unless he a an affidavit to
it's truth. Wednesday evening he again
called at the Standard office n for
some reason. best known to himself.
blurted out the whole truth In words
that are brutally frank. He made the
following declaration: The only mem
Der of the democratic COMMITTEES who
talked with me about the Herald and
it's political complexion during the
campaign was A. Il. Rodgers. and he
made me no proposition, simply stat
ing hat the democrats would III the

around again and there have been nc
other negotiations. You know that a
German paper In this country is not
self-supporting. The income from the
subscription list and the advertising Is
not sufficient to pay expenses. and We
have to depend on getting enough out
of candidates during campaigns &c
make both INC meet So we have
made a practice of supporting only
those candidates who paid for such
support"
