For representatives the republicans
PRESENT t\vC did iin,nrc onI mon ,u|,pcn

For reprcscn tatiyes the republicans
present two old timers and men whose
dairy lives for the past % years have
been an open book TO the people oi
this valley. Mr. Harlan has an hon
orablc record as a member Of past
legislatures, and if elected this time,
RaValli county would know that no
spot or blcmsh could be laid to her
door by reason Of any act of his.
Henry Buck has never before been Il
candidate for the suIl'rugcs Of the
people he has lived among 50 long.
Thoroughly equipped by education
and training, thoroughly alive TO the
requirements Of his constituents, Mr..
Buck will, if elected make an ideal
law maker and be an honor to the
people he represents.
Mr.. Crutchtield and Mr.. Woods,
the democratic nominees for house OF
representatives are both genial gen.
tlcmen, but unfortunately represent
neither tho people nor the demo-
cratic party, but merely contending
factions thereof. They would in 40
sense represent the people Of Ravalli
county.
Mr.. Bond has been tried and found
wanting and Mr.. O'}lara, in spite OF
the rumorcd deal heretofore NEIL
toned, never will be tried. Fancy
democrats being compelled to voJc
! for Robert \. O'Ilura, because OF
orders from headquarters.

orders to the faithful, in consequence
Of the above deal, that e. p Woods
is to be left at home and that that
political contortionist, Bob O'Hara,
is TO be voted for along with Chas.
NJ. Crutchfcld for the legislature.
The Ravalli Republican., 1898-11-02

The democrats have nominated for
this important office Il chronic office
seeker. Fer two terms has lc filled
the office Of county attorney and for
four years has he in his own person
violated the laws Of the land which
he now by your vote wants to help
make. Both the constitution Of the
state and our coditicd law, require
that the county attorney shall have
his Office at the county seat. Mr..
Myers never made any prctcnsc Of
complying with this requirement.
1t is also Il notorious fact that Il Ger
tain class Of law breakers nave re-
ccivcd immunity at his hands, pre-
sumaDly with the hope Of their nt1u-
encc for the Office he is now seeking.
Having been unfaiJhlnl to his present
trust: it is nn likely the people will
again give him their votes.
w. !. Kennedy, The nominee OF til,
O'Ilaraitcs, is only worth passing
mention because of his endorsement
by the pOpulists. After the vote i
counted he will be convinced that
seli-rcspcctiny populist, have no use
for Il man whose itching for office is
SO great hat he would bclray into
the hands Of the enemy the party
that has again aud again honorcC

Warm Words of Praise for the Dead
Cuban Liberator.
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-After the
news Of the death of Calixto Garcia
was received here Senor Palma was
requested by the members Of the Gu
Ean 3unta to start Immediately for
Washington. He was unable to comply
with the request, but Treasurer Ben
ja1nin j. Duerra, Of the delegation, was
delegated by his chief to go to Wash
ington and represent the junta in the
arrangements for the funeral.
Gen. Palma gave the following state
ment as his tribute to the memory of
his comrade in arms:
The Cubans will always consider Gen.
Garcia one Of the liberators Of the island and
VIII keep his memory in grateful veneration.

A sad coincidence in connection with the
death of Gen. Garcia is the fact that his
youngest daughter, Mercedes, is now i'll with
consumption in Georgia, whence she was to
go with her father and mother to Cuba TO
enjoy for the remaining months of her life
the liberty and the old association which the
sacrifices OF Gen. Garcia had helped to make
realities

TERMS OF TREATY.
America to Pay for the ReDatris>
t1OB of Spanish Soldiers.

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE American peace
long series Of conferences and almost
daily sessions with the Spaniards. Sew
eraI members of the two commissions
today exchanged calls. The American
commissioners unoflcially informed the
Spaniards that they would be glad to
have the two commissions dine to4
gether. The reply was, like the Invita-
ton, conveyed automatically through
third party, and was that the SPAN
iards would be most pleased, but Eeary
ed that it would be inadvisable because
it might be misconstrued at MadrtdJ
where already much feeling exisfeI
against the Spanish commissioners. II
Several members Of the United States
commission were inclined at first tG
publish the text Of the treaty, but Sen!
ator Frye made a strong plea yestery
day for the observance Of courtesy, and
his arguments prevailed. Further de-
tails, however, have been learned as to
the wording OF the treaty, which pro-
vices that Cuba is to be relinuuished
and that Porto Rico and the Philip.
pines are to be ceded. The Americans
are to pay for the repatriation of the
Spanish troops from all the colonies.
The Spaniards are to return all pris-
oners held by them. They are to re-
tain possession of all military stores
and munitions Of war in the Philippines
and of such ships as have not been cap
tured. The commercial treaties be-
tween the two nations which the war
rUptured are to be renewed at the con-
venience of the two nations. The proto-
col makes nearly 500 typewriter pages.
The United States commissioners
have been almost overwhelmed with
offers of dinners In England to en-
pEasize the AnOlo-American entente,
but they will remain in Paris until the
day before sailing for the United
States. They will make formal calls
upon President Faure and high Off
cials here to thank them for official
hospitality. Unofficial hospitality to
the United States commissioners mas
been ostentatiously lacking in Paris

RESOLUTIONS PASSED OPPOSING
THE EXTENSION OF STREET

Before the Mass Meeting Adjourned
the Talk Turned to Municipal
Ownership - This Phase of the
Matter Discussed by Mr, AItreId.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Ceutra1 Music
hall this afternoon was filled with clti.
zens of Chicago who gathered in mass
convention in order to protest against
extension Of the franchises Of Chicago
street car lines to fifty years. Early
In the meeting the speakers dWelt
mainly on the question of compensa-
ton for the extension Of street car
grants, but before it's close the propo-
slt1on Of municipal ownership was ex-
tensively touched on and received gen
erous applause. Franklin H. Head pre-
sided and the speakers were Mayor
Harrison, former Gov. John P Altgeld,
George E. Cole, John Maynard Harlan
and Rev. Father Thomas P. HodnelI.
EX-Gov Altgeld was first to advert
to the subject of municipal ownership
and his remarks aroused the greatest
enthusiasm of the meeting. Referring
to the alleged use of money in the city
council Mr.. Altgeld said: "How can
VIC stop this thing?"
Rang them; get q rope, hang the
boodlers," responded the audience
The resolutions which were prepared
in advance were found inadequate to
the sentiment Of the meeting, and
resolution was included favoring mu-
nicipal ownership of the street car lines,
II rot this year, then when the present
grants expire in 1903
The most significant portions OF the
resolutions adopted were as follows:
Resolved, That inasmuoh as the beginning
and end Of all present corruption in the city
council are the traction companies, the di-
rectors and stockholders of these companies
should not be permitted to escape the odium
now directed against venal public servants,
but that they be exposed to condemnation as
criminals and anarchists, in that they are
organizing corruption and plotting against
the peace and prosperity Of Chicago, and In,
viting consequences as disastrous to this
community as any outrages ever devised by
the sworn enemies Of society; and
Resolved That the citizenship of Chicago
stands at the back Of our mayor in his brave
fight for the peoples rights; that it is the
sense of this meeting that the time for mu.
nicipal ownership, If not ripe now, may be
by the time the present franchise shall ex-

WEBSTER CITY, TO-, Dec. lit de-
veloped at the coronor's inquest held
over the remains Of Ira Fitch, who
committed suicide at Williams, a few
niles from here, that the man was
actually driven to death by the persis-
tent attentions of women. He could
not escape their smiles. AS soon as he
would get rid of one another would
come along to weary him with her adu-
l@tion and letters.
He had changed homes oftentimes to
see If he could find peace. He wore
soiled linen and would go for days with
his shoes unshined and face unshaved
that he might unattractively walk
along the streets and attend to business
at his office without having some wom-
an to disturb him. But he was unsuc-
cessful in keeping them away. Wher-
ever he might turn a woman's eyes
were looking at him. pleading as only
a. woman's eyes can plead to talk to
her and love her. Finally seeing that
he could not evade or avoid them, he
took morphine and lay down to die.
1t is the only case on record of where
man was actually loved to death.
Fitch was not what could be called
a handsome man. Nor did he ever
clGthe his form in costly Taiment such
as to attract those Who worship such
things. He was a plain. common,
everyday business fellow who went
IT. :;
without ostentat ton. But every time
he met a woman she fell in love with
him.
According to the testimony of num-
Der of respectable and prominent young
women today it was brought out that
he possessed such strong power over
them that they were willing and did
! fall down and worship him. They could
| not explain why. He was to them as
a magnet to a piece Of steel,
Married women and young maidens
showered letters and flowers upon him.
They crowded his place Of business
and sent him sweetmeats and loving
messages. He replied to none Of these.
When he was forced to meet woman
he plainly showed by his actions that
he desired the interview closed as
quickly as the proprteties of the oc-
cer'0~ would permit. He never. replied
to the numerous letters mailed him
| and when walking the streets he studI-
ously avoided looking females in the
eye.
Physicians are much puzzled over the
case and society is shocked at the rev.
Citations the testimony at the inquest
brought out And as for the multitude

WABASH, Ind, Dec. II. - Calvin
Fisher, living near Treaty, this coun-
ty, has left for Montana, where his son
Eli was last week hanged by a mob.
Letters received from the West indi-
cate that the young man, who last year
was a school teacher here and who has
always borne a good reputation, was
innocent Of any crime, being mistaken
by vigilantes for the real criminal.
Fisher was with a companion on g.

came along and, covering both with a
rifle, forced them to assist In ratdlng

flock. They were resisted, and the ban
dts killed three men who were herd
ing the flock. Later they were over
hauled by brother of one of the muir
dered men with large party and were
shot to death.
The particulars are very meager, and

Canadians Unable to Obtain the
Concession When They Desire.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lit has been
agreed by the joint high commission
of Americans and Canadians, which
has been in session here for several
weeks, to adjourn at an early date
This has not yet been formally an
nounced, but it is understood that the
day fixed for adjournment is Dec. 90
On the evening Of Dec. 19 the Canadi-
ans will give banquet to which the
Americans will be invited. The under
standing Is that the sessions will not
be resumed until after March next
when the United States commissioners
who are members Of the house and
senate will have leisure to devote to
the commission. Whether the sessions
will be resumed at Quebec, where they
began, or in this city has not been de-
cided.
The decision to adjourn has grown
out Of the developments Of the past
week. While there are certain differ
ences on the subjects to be contained
in the proposed treaty, notably the
Bering sea question, Atlantic fisheries,
reciprocity and navigation on the great
lakes, reciprocity is the one great ques-
ton in which the Canadians are inter-
ested. Last week the commissioners
came nearer than they have ever before
to the decision of that subject. The
Canadians had submitted proposals,
and on Wednesday the Americans sub
nitted counter proposals. These coun-
ter proposals showed the Americans
were disposed to be very unyielding
and that much smaller concessions
would be made than had been expect
ed. The negotiations of last week also
convinced the Canadians that free
lumber, a consummation they and all
their people have devoutly wished for.
was impossible. The American COM
missioners not only told the Canadian
commissioners so, but the latter were
invited to the capitol, and while there
met several prominent members of the
house and senate, who impressed the
fact still more firmly upon them.
1t is said the Americans have agreed
to a small reduction of the duty on
live animals and have intfmated that
they may agree to a small reduction
in the duty on lumber, now So per
thousand feet. The Canadians had
fought for much larger concessions.
This condition of things and the ap-
parent impossibility of reaching an
agreement before Christmas are said
to have led to the decision for an ad-
journment. The senate may be called
In session after March 4 to transact
business, when there would be ample
time to present any treaty that may
have been framed with the Canadians.
The present outlook for agreement is
not bright.

RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 11.-William
Carney, aged sixty-five years, an en-
gineer at the Richmond rolling mills,
met death today by falling against a
large gear wheel, which tore one limb
completely off.
With his Iife's blood epbing away
Carney performed remarkable act Of
heroism He was alone in the engine
room and knew that no one would be
liable to enter for hours. Realizing that
q terrible disaster would result If fires
under the boilers were left burning, he
dragged his body fifty feet to the boiler
room, turned off the natural gas and
then 1apsed into Inconsistencies.
Twenty minutes later the machinery
stopped because Of lack of steam, and
employees rushing to the engine room
to ascertain the cause found Carney
dying,
