The PIaiutin Wins.

a NEVER before has Montana been
M the scene of n trial involving
matters of greater general i'm
portance to the mining community than
the one that reached its conclusion yes
terday i'm Butte. To the %litigants them
selves the conclusions to be reached
were of account, but the
trial involved questions which in their
solution were really of significance to
many companies and individuals en-
gagged in mining.
The function Of the Standard has
been to reach its readers in This mining
region with an bipartisan report of the
proceedings in the court room. At
great length and without a word Of col
oring or comment these daily summar-
les ave been printed. The case
came to a speedy conclusion, thus up
setting the guesses of many of those
who had been anticipating the findings
to be reached in the jury room. The
run OF opinion appeared to be that the
trial would result in a disagreement,
but for this view there was no other
support than the fact that the prece-
dents in Butte are rather in that un-
satisfactory way.
All speculation was ended when, at
the close of the presentation of the
case. Judge Knowles took it in hand
and told the members of the jury, prac-
tically, hat there was nothing for
them to consider in the mass of the ex-
pert evidence, that the case of trespass
by the defendants had been clearly
shown. and hat there remained for the
jury nothing to do except to compute
the amount of money due the plain
tiffs for the ore hat had been removed.

After the Launching.

~HEY are saying that the Ken
lucky is i'll omened because of
her fresh-water christening.
and even the fact that the water used
for the occasion was drawn from a
spring on the farm where Lincoln once
wed is not accepted as a satisfactory
atonement by those who yield obedi-
ence to signs and symbols. The pro-
phecy of evil in regard to the Ken
lucky is not construed to run against
the kearsarge. which was launched at
the same time and from the same ship
yard with the Kentucky. Yet, accord
ing to all the traditions of the tars. the
K%earsarge is as surely ill-starred as the
Kentucky, n for a like reason. Old
salts insist that the christening of a
ship by a married woman is every bit
as ominous as the cold-water christen-
ing.
That tradition cannot be made good
on the testimony of ships In the Amer
lean navy. Besides-if there is any
sense at all in the christening process
there was a singular propriety in the
selection of Mrs. Winslow for the nam
ing of the K~earsarge. Her husband. a

the son of John A. Winslow. who COM
manded the old Kearsarge in the ia
nous Sunday-morning fight in June.
1864. when the Alabama was sent TO the
bottom, off the French coast at Cher
bourg. In any event, the christening of
the Kearsarge did not have its prelude
in the ridiculous row that involved
Kentucky's social world. because of the
quarrel that was aroused by the rival
young women for the honor of break
ing the bottle over the new warship's

will believe that the two new floating
fortresses will be a noble addition to
the navy Of the United States. and the
manner Of the christening will have lit
tie to do with their notions as to what
he future has in store for either craft.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Bradstrre "a Rev W

New York. March 25-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The favorable features
of the week in distributive trade have
been the reports coming. with few ex-
ceptions, from all parts Of the West and
Northwest and marred only by the
checks to business and shipments caused
by heavy rains and high water in the
Ohio valley. The unsettled condition Of
our relations with Spain Il credited with
exercising some effect upon immediate de-
mands and upon future undertakings in
the eastern portion Of the country. But
the two industries, cotton and wool. are

Helena. March 2l-The supreme court
did not consider the matter of the dis
of job Bloor to-day. as ex-
pected, except In an informal way. I. j.
Walsh, Bloor's counsel. raised the point
that the court lacked jurisdiction be-
cause IL had not served notice of the pro-
posed proceedings upon his client. He de-
sired to be heard upon hat point. also
upon the provision in the codes requir-
ing that moral turpitude' be estab-
lished. lie denies that Bloor is In that
class. He claims to he able to present
authorities to prove that the offense was
not one which had attached moral tur-
pitude. As a parallel case he said that
he did not believe a lawyer convicted of
breaking the anti-gambling law or kill
ing elk out of season could be adiudged
guilty of moral turpitude. In order to
afford Bloor's attorney and Attorney
General Nolan. who will advocate the dis
arment an opportunity to present the
matter more fully the court decided to
permit them to file briefs setting forth
their respective contentious. These will
be argued at a date to be announced
later.

NAMED A STRONG TICKET
REPUBLICAN TOWNSHIP CoNvEN-
TON IN HARMONIOUS SESSION.
w. s. Lockman, w. H. NickersOn, Har-
vey stout, Joseph Sheppard and w.
G. smocIx for Justices of the Peace.

The Center township Republican conven-
ton which met at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning in Masonic Hall resulted in the
selection of what the Republicans believe to
be an exceptionally strong ticket. The con-
vention was called to nominate five justices
OF the peace and an equal number Of con-
stables to be voted for at the regular No
vember election this year. The result of
the balloting was the nomination of w. s.
Lockman, w. H. Nickerson. Joseph II.
Sheppard. H. B. Stout and w c. Smock
for justices Of the peace and Arthur A.
Whitsell, Thomas Pratt (coIored), William
Deakin, Philip Narer and Frank Glass for
the offices Of constable.
The convention was large, enthusiastic
and harmonious There was a full turnout
of delegates and the hall was crowded. Re
publicans from all over the county seemed
to take an interest in the nominations to be
made and attended the convention. Charles
A. Bookwalter called the delegates to order
in the absence Of Chairman Saulcy. Secre-
taTy Elliott called the roll Of delegates.
Frank L. Littleton was chosen as chair
man, Harry s. Moore secretary and Otto
Belzer sergeant-at-arrns. Mr.. Bookwalter,
after a few minutes speech, introduced
Chairman LittIeton, who made short talk.
lie suggested that the Importance OF the
coming campaign demands that the utmost
care he taken in the selection of all the
tickets. Every man nominated should be
an acknowledged Republican of integrity.
The strength of the ticket selected by
counties and townships would add to the
strength of the State ticket, he said. The
chairman referred to Mckinley and Cuba
and was applauded.
After the committee on credentials had
recommended the seating of Roy Taylor
and Harry M. Webster as delegates from
the tenth precinct of the Third ward, and
Harry s. Negley, 3. w. Agnew, II. c.
Lodge Robert II. Davidson and Amos Hines
had been selected as assistant secretaries,
the convention proceeded with the business
OF the day. 1t was announced that those
delegates who were prepared to do so could
cast their vote by wards. When the nomi-
nations closed for justices of the peace it
was found there were seventeen candidates.
These were w. s. Lockman. Theodore W.
Pease, w. c. Smock. Harvey B. Stout, d.
j. Reagan, Isidor Blair W. H. Pritchard
man. i. w. Cole, Harry G.. Smith, f. M.
Hay, Charles A. Clark, Joseph II. Sheppard.
J: w. Sears. w. II. Nickerson. There were
1t necessary that the winning candidate
should receive PA votes.
FIRST BALLOT BY PRECINCT.
The first ballot was taken by precincts
and it required an hour or more to get
through with it. Tie delegates were rest
less and there was more or less confusion
toward the close of the ballot. This ballot
resulted in the selection of but one candi-
date-W. II. Lockman. The vote on the
first ballot was as follows:

CHILDREN HAVE VERMIN.
Morton NeSvman.s Excuse for Not
Sending Them to school.

Morton Newman, living on Harriet street,
near Brightwood came down to the Circuit
Court yesterday to explain to Judge Allen
why he had not been sending his children
to school. Newman was sumnsDned by the
court to answer TO charges made by Truant
Officer Smith. Newman has two children
of a school age. One is nine and the other
eleven years of age.
Newman plainly told the court that the
reason he had not kept his children in
school this season was that they were af-
flicted with vermin. Judge Allen declared
this was no reason and proceeded to give
Newman a lecture. He ordered the man to
go home and clean up his children and send
them to school Newman was released on
his own recognizance and left the court
room promising to give his children a bath.
Judge Allen was little in doubt as to who
should prosecute these truarcy cases. and
sent for Prosecuting Attorney Wiltsie to
talk over the matter with him. Until the
question of who is to prosecute such cases
has been settled Judge Allen will reserve
his decision in the Newman case.

Prevent Drunkenness.

Luther Benson the great temperance
lecturer says: "Haag's Liver Pills are bet
ter than the Kelley Cure 1 tried them
both and found the pills the best. The best
thing about Haag's Liver Pills is that they
will tide periodic drinker over the thirst
period and save him the shame and suffer-
ing following a debauch. / have tried all
the sC-called cures, and Haag's Liver Pills
are absolutely the best preventive for
drunkenness"
The above pill is not a patent medicine,
it is made by julius A. Haag, the Denison
House chemist, who made it originally for
his aged mother who was seventy-six years
of age the 10th of last month. and is now
enjoying perfect health, due to the use of
the above remedy Mr.. Haagss mother
had for many years been sufferer from
Indigestion and constipation and was com
pletely cured by the use of these pills.
These pills help digestion and allay all lrri-
tation and fever of the stomach as well as
restoring to perfect health the liver, kid
neys and intestines, curing sick HEADACHE,
biliousness. constipation and all kidney
troubles. The many cures mace nave
created such great demand that they are
now on sale in 1853 drug stores of Indian
apolis and suburbs, and in thousands OF
stores in other cities.
