From Our Soldier Boys.

The following is made up from
letters sent to the home folks by some
Of our soldier boys;
II have Just come off twenty'six
hours guard duty, and am too tired
to write much. In the guard mount
there is an officer of the day, officer
of the guard, sergeant Of the guard,
and corporal OF the guard. The Of
fcer of the day is captain, officer of
the guard a lieutenant. In the guard
mount there are three reliefs; in each
relief there are twenty.six men and a
corporal for each relief. We are an
duty two hours and off four hours.
We are getting used to the climate
aud the food is some better. We all
feel first rate; have had much work
TODD in cleaning up the camp, but
have that work all finished up. There
are few gray backs IN camp, but we
are taking better system to keep
clear of them, The boys who have
beeu sick are about well and will be
out of the hospital soon. This is just
like prison life as we cannot get out
side of our regimental liner. The
boys are finding many relics of the
war; one of the boys of Company A
found a skull with a bayonet in it.
We got our uniforms today. Some Of
the boys drew awful fits We have
not received our guns or fatigue uni
forms yet. Col. Fitch was kicked by
a horse today and badly shaken up.

Ir ia evident from the drift Of things

TT ia evident from the drift OF things
that this nation is preparing to de-
part from the ways Of our fathers and
will in the very near future adopt q
new policy in dealing With foreign
nations. It has been not only tra-
dition but a law with our people that
the "Monroe Doctrine" IS right and
lust. Only short tune ago, our rul-
era insisted upon England's obserV-
ing that law. Then we were in peace.
Today, however, a new condition con-
fronts us. We have in our possess
ion islands in the Pacific Ocean, soon
Cuba, Porto Rico, the CanarJs and
other isolated spots will be under the
shadow Of the Stars and Stripes
Cuba can be turned over IN time to
her people, but the conditions exist
ing in the others are such that our
government must hold them. when
that time comes the declarations OF
the Monroe Doctrine must be set
aside, and America abrogating the
rule will take and hold as her own
all the territory now claimed by
Spain. This means q big navy, a
large standing army, treaties, defen-
sive, offensive and commercial, with
the powers. Free trade will make
strides forward, and new ideas rule.

~HE Delaware authorities may
never get Mrs. Botkin, the Cali
fornia woman wanted for the
murder Of Mrs. Dunning n Mrs.
Deane in Delaware by means Of pois-
oned candy sent through the mails.
Governor Budd OF California has thrown
out the papers In the extradition case
because they were not in proper shape.
but even when the defects have been
remedied and the papers put in proper
form, the governor is not likely to grant
e~xtradition, IL is ~self-evident tina Mrs.
Botkin did not flee from Justice" in
Delaware. She never was in Delaware
in her life. Governor Budd has broadly
intimated that the constitution of the
United States would not countenance
such an act on his part. The constitu-
ton lays down the requirement tbs
before a person can be extradlted from
a state in which he is found IL must
appear that he has fed from the state
demanding his extradition. He must
be a fugitive from Justice from the de-
handing state. This is an imperative
requirement Of constitutional law.
Governor Budd asked the counsel for
the prosecution If the following from
Hawlcy's work on "EXtradition" is not
a precisely analogous case to Mrs. Bot
kin's: "A man In Ohio may commit the
crime Of obtaining non by false pre-
lenses in the state OF New York without
having left the state Of Ohio. The false
p~retenses may consist in false repre-
sensations as 10 his financial and bust
ness responsibility. They may be made
in letters written and mailed in Ohio
and delivered in New York to the per-
son TO whom addressed. The person in
New York relying upon the false pre-
lenses delivers the property TO the car
rier in New York. The carrier In New
York is the agent of the man in Ohio

the carrier is delivery TO him. In the

FOR A PEACE FESTIVAL"
Mayor Lesser Receives a Letter
From the Committee.
HONOR THE NATIONS DEAD
Already 100000 and More Has Been
Raised for the Memorial Shaft-An
Entertainment May Be Ar
ranged in This City.

Mayor Lesser yesterday received a
letter from the subcommittee of the
national monument committee in rela-
ton to the work which is being don
toward the erection of a memorial
shaft in honor OF the lead heroes Of
the Cuban battlefelds n the martyrs
of the Maine. The letter suggests the
holding Of a peace festival OF Sept.
so. the proceeds of which are 10 be de-
voted To the monument fund.
An extract of the letter is as fol-
lows:
THE subcommittee Of the national
monument committee, charged with
the building of a national memorial to
the men who fell on Cuban battlefields,
and to the sailors and marines who
went down with the Maine. earnestly
solicits your cooperation in the cels-
bration of a national peace festival in
your city on the evening Of Sept. 30
next.
Already over 800, 900 has been sub
scribed by the people of the United
States towards the memorial. II is
hoped TO receive a very material addi-
ton to this fund on Peace day and
at the same time to make the celebra-
ton a fitting tribute to the brave men
who died for the country's honor. With
your kind assistance both of these OBJ
jects can be achieved. Plans have
ben perfected that promise to insure
the observance Of the peace festival
in every city and village of the coun-
try.
This committee begs that you APP
point a committee of your fellow citi-
zens to arrange the details of your local
celebration. and IL is respectfully sug-
gested that you act as a chairman Of
this citizens committee"
Mayor Lesser has so far taken no ac-
tion I'm the matter, but If any interest
is manifested i'm the festival he will be
glad to do whatever may he fit and
proper. The idea of the festival is to
increase the amount of the subscription
already raised, and should the people
Of this city desire TO max
ments for the entertainment. a large
sum could no doubt be raised.

they have been left a large fortune or
whether a will left by their father is
merely the work of a man in his dotage.
William H.. Ferris. the old gentleman.
who just died at the age OF "a. was with
Admiral Porter in his crusade against
pirates on the Spanish main. and there
Is the best reason for believing that
later he cast his own lot with the buc-
cancers. He vas universally regarded
as a wealthy a but the will left
speaks vaguely OF a paper which, when
found, will lead 10 the discovery of
everything" The mysterious paper his
relatives have been unable TO find. 1t is
he was known to own and which the will
alludes to may be concealed under the
walls Of his old house, as a light was
often seen in the cellar after midnight,
and il was sal by some at those times
that Ferris was down there counting
his money.
The strange will shows how his early
life as a sailor among the pirates in
fiuenced him in boarding his money and
securities and leaving a strange docu-
ment telling where to find them. His
daughter. Mrs. Bisland, said that while
Mr.. Ferris was wealthy, and they sup
posed he was worth 81. 600, 900, she
thought IL wou be difficult to find his
property. 1t was known that he had
many thousands of dollars in govern
ment bonds and other valuable securi-
ties locked in the vaults of some
trust company, but 1t would be impossi-
BILE to tell until the mysterious paper al
luded to in the will was found.

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 81. 1898.
Welcome.

MOT before in the history of the
IN state OF Montana has so large
a body Of its representative citi-
Gems met together at one place as will
assemble in the city of Anaconda to-
day. The delegates to the three state
conventions number more than nine
hundred gentlemen. the leaders of their
respective communities i'm politics. in
business, I'm the professions, in all that
makes for the advancement Of his
young, thriving, prosperous common
wealth. They are here to map out
plans which, in their Judgment. shan
best conserve the interests of the state.
particularly the interests Of one Of its
chief industries stricken down by un-
just. deplorable legislation.
The city of Anaconda is proud to he
honored by the presence of this mag
nihcent %concourse. 1t extends its
guests the heartiest Of welcomes. II
tenders them the assurance that every
thing will be done that can be lone
for their comfort. The reception com
mittee is sparing no effort to provide
for their entertainment and guests are
urged to call at the committees head
quarters and make their wants known.
The committee is there for the purpose
Of attending 10 them. The citizens of
Anaconda desire that every visitor
shall carry away with him pleasant
memories of the town, Of its people and
Of the occasion. Delegates and their
friends are cordially requested to make
themselves at home. The freedom Of
Indicate charming weather-nature is
doing all she can to assist Anaconda
in giving her distinguished guests a fit
ting reception.
1t is probable that each Of the con-
ventions will be the scene of spirited
discussion. Among so many men sharp
diversities OF opinion are to be ex-
pected. The Standard hopes that
whatever antagonisms these diversities
Of opinion may develop will be con-
Quoted on broad lines; that they will
be free from narrowness, selfshness,
bitterness and rancorous personalities;
and tina the results Of the deliberations
will be such that in after years the
delegates can look back upon their
work in Anaconda to-day with satiy-
faction and pride.
