fact that dividends were paid were COM

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Delegates Selected TO Attend The County
Convention Next Saturday.

Very little interest was manifested
by Republicans Saturday last in the
selection of delegates to the county
convention, the rush of work under
Mckinley prosperity seemed To deter
them from taking an afternoon off
to look after political matters.
In Lewistown the several candi-
dates united on six delegates and
but a friendly rivalry was made on
Others. There appears to have been
a general disposition to select good
men as delegates regardless of their
preferences for candidates, and the
element OF strife being lacking, very
few votes were cast. The total poll
in Lewistown was but n, being 50
in west Lewistown and Is on the
east side. The delegates elected
are:

NOT HILGER'S Honey.
The Check for 5000 was Sent by Another
Party but Came Through 1r. hiIger.

The following letter from j. A. j.
Dawes, of Ubet, casts considerable
light on that $500 transaction with
the Democratic county committee
reported last week. 1t appears that
the money came through David
Hilger, but was not his own. Whose
it was Mr. Dawes does not say:
UBET. Mont, Sept. IL, '9S.
EDITOR ARGUS:
Dear Sir-In reply to your article
of Sept. 18th, will say, the letter spo-
ken of had no reference to money, but
To a letter / had written to b editor
of the Democrat regarding an article
published in the Democrat accusing
me of shady transactions with the
TIBET labor exchange, and as T. j.
Johns is not running IN county
affairs and is not in the county, l will
not take advantage of his absence to
publish it at this time. AS regards
the Hilger affair, l believe you have
unintentionally done Mr.. Hilger an
Injustice. Some may infer that Mr..
Hilger had made a $500 bid for a
nomination when, in fact it was not
Mr.. Hilger's money hut presented by
him from other parties.
Respectfully,
JNo. A. j. DAWES.
POSSIBLY we may have misunder-
stood Mr.. Dawes regarding the i'm
port of the letter he spoke of publish

that it would be the subject of his
letter, or at least Incorporated i'm it.
We are sure Mr.. Dawes was very
earnest in his opinion regarding the
matter. AS To Johns his absence is
only temporary. He has not trans
ferred his int rest in the Democrat
and will be writing editorials Ion
the sly as he did two years agOl be
fore the end of the campaign. He may
not be running the county affairs
but he is running the Democratic
party. He has made his boast that
if Mr.. Hilger came up for office ht
would defeat him or leave h county
This may account for the turning
down Mr.. Hilger got at the hands o
the committee. Possibly If the chair
man had exhibited the check early in
the proceedings it might have had g
conciliatOry effect. OF course, no ont
supposed Mr.. Hilger was chung
enough to throw money away in
that manner. But he was the agent

 Assassination.

London, Oct. LA special dispatch from Shanghai published today, says telegrams furnished by the Tao Tai, or local governor, to a Chinese paper, allege that the emperor of China com- mitted suicide On September 21 after signing the decree whichtplaced the dowager empress at the head of affairs in China.

ENGLAND'S FRIENDSHIP.
The American Flag Signally Honored
 at Military Mansuvers.

Washington, Oct. 1.-An instance of the notable desire of the British gov ernment to cultivate friendly relations with the United States is given in the course of some mail reports recently reaching the state department from the United States embassy at London. This refers to the great military ma neuvers which were recently conducted at the march past on Salisbury Plain in the first week of the past month. These maneuvers took place in the presence of the commander-in-chief of the British army, the secretary of state fer war, several members of the royal family, the foreign military attaches and a vast crowd of people, and the na- tio1al flag of the United States was placed side by side with the British royal standard, the Union Jack and the white naval ensign upon the principal marque at the saluting point There were no other flags on the tent in ques- ton but the four mentioned.

PRODUCTION OF LEAD.
Returns to the Geological Survey for
 the Past Six Months.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Returns to the geological survey show that the total production of lead in the United States from all sources, during the past six months of 1S98 was 156,113 net tons, as compared with 2S9,593 tons during the year 1897 and 264,994 tons in 1896. This includes soft lad, hard lead and the metal obtained by smelting foreign base bullion and ores in bond.

SOLDIERS CLAIMS.
Controller Mitchell Renders an I'm
 pOrtant Decision.

Chicago, Oct. IA Daily News Washington special says: Assistant Controller of the Treasury Mitchell has rendered an important decision at the request of the secretary of the treasury, that will facilitate the mus tering out of rha volunteers and the settling of their claims.
 The assistant controller holds that soldiers are entitled to travel pay from the place of discharge to the place of enlistment and also if the sol dier is discharged on furlough, except in cases where the distance is greater than the distance from where the sol dier was encamped to the point Of en- lstment. In that case he is entitled to travel pay only from the point where his regiment was stationed to the place of enlistment.
 Another matter was settled by the decision is that officers and soldiers discharged at their own request are not entitled to travel pay, but where an officer or soldier resigns or is dis charged on account of sickness or wounds, then he is entitled to the travel allowance and such discharges or resignation is not regarded as hay ing been made for the convenience Of the soldier. It Is also held that the discharge or resignation takes place only from the date on which the officer or soldier receives official notice that it has been accepted. When an officer or soldier is discharged he is entitled to travel allowance and not mileage, and officers on waiting orders are en- titled to full pay.
