POSTAGE STAMPS DON'T GO.
Where the Right stamps Are Not Obtni,
able the Government Won't Roar.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, June 30.-As the stamp fea-
ture of the new revenue law becomes
effective Tomorrow, Standard readers
will probably be interested in knowing
that ordinary postal stamps cannot un-
der any circumstances be used instead
of internal revenue documentary or
proprietary stamps. Collector Web
ster received a telegram to-day from
Commissioner Scott that. regardless OF
contrary reports sent out by the asso-
ciated press, such was the case. Mr..
Webster said tonight that he desired to
place the matter i'm it's right light ne
fore the users OF stamps. "A wrong
impression having gone out that post
age stamps could be used instead Of
internal revenue stamps, IL should be
corrected at once" said he. AS to
using postage stamps, IL Will be simply
throwing them away. Documentary
stamps OF n denomination may be
used for documents. provided that they
amount to enough in the aggregate.
The same ls true Of proprietary stamps,
but neither documentary nor proprie-
tary stamps can be exchanged. In
cases where II Is impossible to comply
with the law, and II is afterwards
found that good faith was shown In try
ing TO comply. no penalty viii attach.
but an opportunity will be given to IA
the tax where stamps could not be OBJ
tanned. 1t Is not Intended to stop any

In sections remote from central
points. where IL has been impossible for
the public 10 obtain stamps in time. the
collector says that the government VIII
try to do the right thing. An Idea oil
the amount of revenue that the govern
ment will derive from the stamps can
be realized from the fact that IN the
last few days since the collector mas re.
ce,ved the stamps he has sold about
$50. 600. The largest purchasers were
the banks. At present the government

ROBBED OF $3.50.
According to Forvoiey's story, Pete Han
son, Frank Kelly and n Third
Man Went Through Him.

If the story of the man who claims
to have been the victim is true, one Of
the boldest robberies that has occurred
in Butte was perpetrated yesterday
and the robbers got the snug sun of
$50 or thereabouts. Pete Hansen, pro-
prietor of the Turf Exchange saloon,
and king of Galena street, and James
Kelly, one of Hansen's hangers-on,
were arrested at ! o'clock this morning
and charged with the robbery. and a
third man who is also said TO ave
been In on the deal, is still at liberty.
On Wednesday Frank Forvoley came
in from Center star with four ship
ments of ore. He sold yesterday and
about ! o'clock in the afternoon got his
cash. According to his story, he be-
gan drinking, and about 5 o'clock paid
a visit TO the bad lands, where he con-
tinued to fill up on Hansen's choicest
brand of booze. At length
he went by invitation to the den of a
woman next door to Hansen's saloon,
n while there Hansen, accompanied
by Kelly and a third person, came in.
Kelly and the unknown at once seized
and held Forvoley while Hansen went
through his clothes, taking all his
honey
Forvoley was pretty drunk and was
very much chagrined to think he had
been robbed n did not report the
matter to the police. Surprising dc
would not be able to get his money. he
decided to let it go. About midnight.
while out with some friends. he told
the story to them. They refused TO al
low him to keep IT quiet. and reported
to Detective Murphy, who went to Han
sens saloon with Forvoley and his
friends and demanded the money
Hansen opened the safe and handed out
s571. He had evidently counted II
wrong, as the amount he confessed 10
having was very much less. Forvoley
pointed out Kelly, who happened to be
in the saloon, as one OF the others who
robbed him, and Kelly was taken into
custody by Officer Sol Levy, who ac-
companied Detective Murphy. Hansen
and Kelly denied they had robbed For
voley and said the money was given to
Hansen for safe keeping. Forvoley got
S759.90 for his ore and thinks he did not
spend more than SO before he was
robbed. Forvoley gave a good descrip-
ton OF the third man and the police
think they have him located.

white are polar bears
So are our official hairs"

The Burlington Press, VT, publishes
the following letter from Senator Nor
rill to constituent: II have told our
friends that if Washington or Oregon
would accept of Hawaii as a country, l
would favor it (annexation) but never
as territory, as it would be brought
into the Union as State upon the first
exigency, and it would be a farce to
give natives or any others there State
powers and equal representation in the
Union with New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Ohio and Massachusetts,
Senator German desires that annexa-
ton shall be made with a stipulation
that Hawaii shall never be converted
into State. But he does not say how
the possible constitutional difficulties
are to be overcome in the way of re-
tanning it as permanent territory.
