He Believes in Silver.

Hon. W. G. Conrad, of Great Falls,
one of the leading stockholders of the
Queen Mining and Milling company is
in Neihart this week inspecting pro-
gress upon his mines. He is sanguine
over the outlook for silver, not only be-
ing a believer IN the righteousness of
the bimetallic cause, but having implic-
it faith in its final triumph. He ex-
presses himself as convinced that the
contractionists have reached that stage
of their movement where their own wei
fare demands a cessation of the system.
The theory of falling prices so vigor-
ously promulgated by Mr.. Bryan two
years ago is being unquestionably PROV
ed and all the prophecies of the silver
leaders are being verified by the events
of recent current history. The indica-
tons are that the free coinage idea is
more firmly grounded with the mass of
Americans than ever before.
Speaking of the Queen mine,/ Mr..
Conrad told a reporter that there is
nothing new either in activity or in
project, so far as he is able to say at
present. The work is moving ahead

Silver Shelter To Resume Next
Week With a Large Force of Men.

The silver smelter, which has not been
in operation for the past two months,
will be started up mex week, and to an
extent greater than for several years
past, II furnace being operated that
has not been fired since the great slump
in silver.
About 10 men will be employed at
once and, as there is a shortage in the
supply here, a number will be brought
from Helena and other towns.
The supply of ore on hand, which has
been accumulated since work was sus-
pended, is large. The mines which the
company is operating are producing we'll.
The East Helena works of the company
have been run to almost their full capac-
ity recently and the outlook is that, un-
less there should be some unforeseen
change in conditions, the works here will
be operated steadily for several months
to come.-Tribune.

Silver Sentiment Growing.

Fred Hanscom, brother to Mrs. E. E.
Bryant of Neihart, is here to see the
country, and possibly to locate perma-
ncntly. He is from New York, N. Y,
where he has lived some years. In ref
erence to the silver question, he says
that among the working classes of the
east the sentiment for free coinage is
growing stronger. "Therc is no mis-
taking the rising popularity of free
coinage" says Mr.. Hanscom. "The
working classes are largely idle, and
what few are working are drawing but
starvation wages. The sufferers from
these conditions are studying the cause
of their woe, and the masses are begin
ming to attribute their condition to the
gold standard. The papers of the coun-
try generally try to suppress this senti-
ment, and they are now very poor re-
Electors of political sentiment, or social
conditions. But l look to see a sur
prise in America when the votes of the
coming congressional election are count
ed"
There is doubtless much truth in
what Mr.. Hanscom has to say. The
general spokesman, the social optimist,
and the man who gets regular inter-
views into the paper is a banker, a man
ufacturer, or a representative of the up
per or middle classes. But the wailing
of the children is suppressed. The cries
of the poor are stifed and it is in the
coming election that the rumbling of
Caesars column will be heard.

A Ways Capers.

A good joke is told on a local sport
who took in the races with the rest of
the gang. On the train, Great Falls
bound, he had a quart of good, old stock
Irish whisky, at which he and his imme-
diate friends frequently nipped. The
bottle was still about half full when the
train stopped at Riceville and Mr.. Sport
cached it in the umbrella rack with the
pair of socks in his grip and with his
CHEEKY friends went outside. Sport No.
2 was on the train, and, in the absence
of the owner, he swipes the bottle and
he and his friends quickly drain it by
the way which nature provided. He
then filled the bottle half full of good
Belt creek water from the tank and re-
placed it in the satchel with the socks.
In a minute the claimant of the bottle
and his pals came in. He said: "Well,
boys, let's take IL drink, and as I am the
dryest | will drink first" The bottle
was of dark stained glass and he could
not see through the trick. He took one
long pull at the aqua pura and, feigning
satisfaction, passed it to the next gentle
man. Each one in turn took a drink
without a murmur of comment. Then
they passed it to everybody in the car,
trying to catch another sucker. The
train glided on past fields of ripened
grain, and the cool autumn breeze famed
the perspiring passenger. But Sport No.
l took the bottle in his right hand and
hurled it through a window, at the same
time uttering language which intensified
peoples feelings. but knocked all the
poetry out of the situation.

Value of a Constitution.

1t happened in the spring of 1860,
when Garibaldi was pursuing his expe-
dition in Sicily and when the words
Constitution and Liberty" were on ev-
cry Neapolitan's lips. "Why are you SO
anxious for a constitution" asked a for
eign tourist of his guide and donkey
driver, while they were travelling
through the mountains of Sorrento.
"Well, you see, your excellency, was
the answer, because l think we shall
be all the better for it. 1t is now close
upon 20 years that 1 am letting out my
asses to visitors from all countries
English, French, Americans; all of
these have a constitution, and they are
all rich. "-Argonaut.

A
Punishment For q Murder That Was More
Cruel Than Death.

Punishment For q Murder That Was More
Crue1 Than Death.
In 1901 a man died in the Catskills
who had been condemned by one of the
strangest sentences on record. Ralph
Sutherland was born in 1901 and lived
in a stone house heal Leeds. He was a
man of violent temper and morose dis
position, stunned by his neighbors and
generally disliked. Not being able to
get an American servant, he imported a
Scotchwoman, and, according to the
usage Of the times, virtually held her
in bondage until her passage money
had been refunded.
Unable to endure any longer the rag
ing temper of her master, the girl ran
away. Immediately upon discovering
her absence the man set off in an angry
chase upon his horse and soon overlook
her. The poor woman never reached the
house alive, and Sutherland was indict-
ed and arrested on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that his
horse had taken fright, run away,
pitched him out of the saddle and dash
ed the girl to death upon the rocks, but
the jury did not accept the defense, and
Sutherland was sentenced to die upon
the scaffold.
Then came the plea Of the INSULT
cheney of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relations. These
so worked upon the court that the judge
delayed the sentence of death until the
prisoner should be 80 years old.
1t was ordered that the culprit should
be released on his own recognizance,
and that. pending the final execution Of
his sentence, he should keep a hangman's
moose about his neck and show himself
before the judges of Catskill once a year
to prove that he wore his badge of in
fanny and kept his crime in mind. 1t
was a more cruel decision than the SEN
tence of immediate death would have
been, but it was no doubt in harmony
with the spirit of the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke. His
rough, imperious had gone.
Years followed years. At each session
Of the court the broken man came be-
fore the bar of justice and silently
showed the moose that circled his neck.
At last his n~inety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered
that the utmost penalty of the law
should be executed. For the last time
the man tottered before the judges
bench, but new judges had arisen in
the land, new laws had been made, old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven,
and there was none who would accuse
him OF execute sentence. Indeed the
awful restriction that had bound his
life so intimately to the expiration of
his crime was now legally removed.
But the spirit of self punishment con-
tinued, and when Sutherland, after he
had passed his hundredth year, was dis
covered dead, alone in his house, his
throat was found to be encircled by the
rope which had been placed there nearly
three-quarters of a century before
