ANACONDA NEWS.
WAS FAST AND FURIOUS
A Street Fight Causes a Great
Deal of Excitement.
HAYES USED AN ICE PICK
Fortunately. However, the Blade Flew
Out of the Handle and Did Not
Touch Craig-Both of Them
Badly Battered Up.

A lively street fight and one that
might have resulted seriously but for
the interference of the sheriff's officers,
occurred yesterday afternoon at about
o'clock. The fight took place near the
corner of Cherry street and Commercial
avenue, and the principals were Fred
Craig and William Hayes. Both men
were pretty badly cut up about the
head and Hayes was bleeding profuse-
ly when taken to Jail.
Hayes is one of the men who were
arrested in the raid made upon the "A
for T. gambling house some time ago.
During his stay in Jail he met Craig
who was doing time for shooting some
horses, in Washington guich. Craig
had a mining scheme and he proposed
1t to Hayes and another man named
Conroy, also prisoner i'm the county
Jail. When their sentences expired the
men went into the scheme. Hayes
worked some four or five months with
out seeing anything in the shape of
remuneration. 1t was charged that
Craig was not doing quite the square
thing in the matter of the returns from
the ore which was shipped TO Butte. 1t
was this trouble that started the fight
yesterday.
No one was near enough to the two
men when the trouble began and their
words were not learned. The witnesses
said that the fight was precipitated in
an instant and that it became fast and
furious at once. Some of the bystand-
ers say that Hayes drew from his hip
pocket an ice pick with which he en-
deavored to strike Craig. Luckily for
both men, in swinging this formidable
weapon the blade flew out of the handle
and passed over Craig's head. The blade
was not found, and 1t was said that
one of the bystanders had picked it up
and carried it away
Hayes, however, still held the handle
of the ice pick in his hand The handle
itself is no plaything, being about as
big as policeman's billy. With this
he belabored Craig about the head. He
times and also pounded him on the side
of the head
Craig, for his part, held in his hand
a pocket knife, which, according to the
testimony of witnesses, was not open.
With this he punched Hayes in the
temple great number of times. Hayes
was bleeding like a stuck pig when
taken to Jail, and it seems as if he
were the more injured of the two,
though both are considerably battered
up.
Under Sheriff Joe DAILY was passing
the corner just as the fight started and
he and Judge Donoghue, who was also
passing, stepped in and separated the
fighting men. They We're taken to the
county Jail by Mr. Daily and Deputy
Hardenbrook and landed in a cell. They
will probably be given a chance to ex-
plain their conduct to-day.

To Grant Equal Rights.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Carter
has offered to the bill granting right of
way in Alaska an amendment which
reafiirms and continues the present
mining regulations and also adds the
following provisions.
Provided That native born citizens
of the dominion of Canada shall be ac-
corded in said territory of Alaska the
same mining rights and privileges
accorded to citizens of the United
States in British Columbia and the
Northwest territory by the laws of the
Dominion of Canada or the local laws or
regulations, and the secretary of the
interior shall from time to time promul-
gate and enforce rules and regulations
to carry this provision into effect"

It is q well-known fact that no pianos have stood the hard South ern climate as well as the Everett. but the new improved Everett of 1897 has surpassed all pianos, in artistic tone, touch and beautiful cases: they have created sensation in the musical world, and by investi- gating you will find that they are absolutely the highest grade of pianos now on the market. I am determined to have the piano trade of Arkansas. l have dropped prices, and will sell you a nice upright piano from $40 up, and the high grade Everett for $50 less than factory re- tail prices.

Taxing Bachelors.

There are obvious injustices in the proposition recently advanced q in the New Jersey state legislature asking that tax of $2 a year be placed on every bachelor in the state. It may be said that selfish man who ontributes to the support of nobody but himself and does nothing towards the establishment of a home ought to be made to con tribute in cold cash to the financial well llbeing of the community. The money thus secured might be used in Tightening the lot of those ladies who, owing to the indifference of himself and his fellows, are forced to live on in single blessedness. But the point which the New Jersey legisla sors have overlooked is that in a vast number of eases the bach elor is not to blame for his neglect to marry. Considering that at one time or another, almost every man, bachelor or married, has proposed, the bill should be amended to in- clude the following clause:
 ''It is explicitly provided, howev. CT, that in those cases where the bachelor upon whom it is proposed to levy tax can, produce proof to the effect that he has, at least once, honestly and sincerely proposed marriage and has been refused, the tax of g a year shall fall not upon himself but upon that lady who has repulsed his affectionate advances. In case he shall have proposed to and been refused by two or more ladies the whole amount of the tax, instead of being divided among them, shall be paid by each individ- ually as though no other proposal or proposals had been made.
 This would be mere justice. The man who had honestly tried to get himself married could have the tax transferred to his former sweet heart, And in case bis conscien- tious purpose to get married had gone so far as to occasion two or more proposals the state would profit twofold or threefold, the mah himself being exonerated of blame and relieved of the necessity Of pay ing tax.

Corn and Hogs,

Philosophers sometimes mako queer deductions. Here now is Mr. c. Wood Davis, learned gentleman and expert in food stuffs and population, arguing i'll The Forum that the increased use of cottonseed oil as all article of human food and of oottonseed meal as an ami nal food has brought down the price of corn one-fourth and diminished the number of hogs in the country one-third.
 If MT. Davis had kept up with the history of domestic animals ill the Union, he would have found first that in the panic year and ill the years i'm mediately following the price of pork, like all other farm products, fell so low that agriculJurists became discouraged and ceased to raise hogs. That de- creased their number heavily, just as the number of sheep, horses and beef cattle fell off from the same cause. That added to the immepae corn crops for three years of course brought down the price of this cereal.
 luSu Wu6u tu6 ll1ucS D6Cdlil6 Ss HIlhu6 better and hogs were in active demand another cause broke loose which TO- duced their number even lower. That was hog cholera. In 1896 some of the western states lost millions of dollars from this cause. It is and has been the shortness of the crop of live stock of nearly all kinds, especially beeyes, sheep and hogs, that made the price of corn low. It is not likely either that corn will be fed to hogs again as it used to be. The market demand, especially the export demand, ill pork is for pig that has much moro lean meat than corn will produce. This lean must be made by other foods than corn. The thing to do with our greatest cereal crop is to develop market for corn bread. grits and hominy iii Europe and Asia.

Great Britain has the modification of facing the fact that her export trade is being steadily encroachsd on by both the United States and Germany. The inroads of America are chiefly made ill the line of iron manufactures, those of Germany in textile fabrics and some other departments. Tho rising suprema- cy of both countries is due undoubtedly to the increased attention paid in Ger many and the United States to purely technical edueation In order to be a thorough mechanic it is necessary to be something more than human machine. The successful manual worker must know scientifically his trade For spreading such knowledge the German government technical schools are doing a great work We have some trade schools in the Union, but we need hun dreds more. We may well take leaf from Germany's experience ill tho mat

We hear quite too often of women who are hypnotized by strange men that fol- low them about and gaze at them till they lose power over their actions. No woman can be hypnotized against her will by strange man or any other man. It is not possible. The woman who is followed about by strange man for hypnotizing purposes should try Q little fascination on her own account simply gaze flxedly at the fellow an in- stant and then gently hypnotize him over the head with a club. It is grave imputation against the Almighty. the suggestion that he created women with no more will power than bowl of jelly.
