THE GUN TRAP.

A gun trap at Chestnut, Mont, set
for burglars, kills supposedly good
man, and raises the question as to
whether the one setting such trap is
guilty of manslaughter. The coro-
ner returned verdict of accidental
death. Newspapers are lamenting
over the unfortunate affair, and w
Fl. Adams, who set the trap, publish
es letter of vindication.
Montana has no law against gun.
traps, set for burglars, but some
states hold the setter of such trap fol
manslaughter. 1t is beyond the wis
dom of this office to show by what
principle of law this accusation car
lay. Of course, when such traps are
set, it must follow that occasionally
good man will be killed; but in the
case at Chestnut there is little tc
support the theory that a good mar
was caught. The question naturally
arises as to what business Mr.. Rhoda
deceased, had in prying open the
shutter of an isolated farm house, Sc
long as there were doors through
which he might have entered. The
fact of his having $500 in his pocke
when found, serves only to make the
case stronger against him. There il
no time when a stranger is obliged
to break open the windows of Mon
tana farm house to obtain the neces
saries of life.

The Valley County Gazette has
no just complaint against the Great
Falls Tribune for purloining news
from that paper without proper cred
it. For the Gazette must allow that
the Tribune never copied an item

orthographically until even the law
of copy right would not recognize

BOOM AT CoPPERoPoLIs.
Account OF Some Development Going
on AT That Camp.

The Rocky Mountain Husband
man gives an extensive historical
writeup of Copperopolis and closes
with the following description of
present development:
In the fall of 1898 John Blewett,
who was interested in patented
group and who had spent much time
in endeavoring to develop the camp
returned from Butte where he had
been working determined to devel-
op Copperopolis and commenced the
work of securing another bond. In
the meantime, however, he gathered
together and shipped a carload of
ore to Butte, with the proceeds of
which and what other help he could
get here Mr.. Blewett commenced a
tunnel or drift on the lead on which
he spent some time taking out about
300 sacks of ore. He ran 40 feet to
the southeast before encountering
anything at which point he struck a
chute of ore there being about two
feet of the lead filled with narrow
streaks of good ore, which improved
as he proceeded. Drifting to the
northwest on the lead he commenc-
ed to encounter good ore at ten feet.
This chute was solid mass not less
than foot in thickness and assaying
fully 30 per cent copper. To what
extent this underground develop
ment was carried we do not know
but they were sufficient to induce
Mr.. Blewett's Butte hackers, W.
w. Mcdowell and Mr.. Reynolds, to
take the bond off his hands and bond
a large district of country. 1t is
these parties who have erected the
hoist and are at work sinking the
shaft which is to be pushed to the
depth of 1000 feet. Three shifts of
three men each will be. worked in
the shaft and the hole put down at
the rate of hundred feet per
month. When 100 feet depth is
reached, that is when the present
shaft is driven hundred feet deep.
er, cross cut wifi be made to the
lead and levels started in each di.
rection on the lead, but there will
be no cessation of sinking until the
main shaft is down 800 feet and
possibly 1000 feet Just what will
be unearthed no one knows, for the
man does not live who can see into
the ground beyond the pick point
However it is we'll understood that
there has been ore enough develop
ed in the upper levels to warrant us
in saying there is a mine there.
There are other claims bu. the
Butte company has the pick of the
camp except the group owned by
Mr.. Blewett and associates.
Just how big the camp will turn
out to be remains to be seen.

WORK FOR THE RED CROSs.

One of the grandest and noblcst in
situations in the world is one Of when
we hear but little-the Red Cross. In
deed, the general public hears moth
ing of it until its magnificent services
are called for in time OF war, pestilence,
famine, or other calamity of national
Importance when sick and dying and
homeless are to be cared for.
During the Spanish war the hospital
service of the Red Cross exceeded the
government service in efficiency and
good work. The condition OF the
wounded at Santiago, for instance,
would have been bad, indeed, had it not
been for the magnificent service rem
dered by the Red Cross hospitals, sur.
geons and nurses.
Although we have not heard much
from the Red Cross since then. its work
by no means ended with the late
campaign in Cuba or with the war. 1t
has since continued it's labors in Cuba
and is now establishing there, at the
request of the government. a hospital
service to assist in the care Of the sick

The greatest festival of the Christian
church will be celebrated to-day.
Christmas is a more popular festival
than Easter, but Easter, which is the
fulfillment of the promise of Christmas,
is frau~ht with greater and higher
significance and promise to Christian
ity, for the hope it holds out is i'm
mortality.
The promise of Easter is the resur-
rection and the life everlasting, the
one great and eternal hope floating like
a beacon light ahead of the weary way
farer on the hard and toilSome Journey
of life, the promise of final haven of
refuge from the storms of life, the
Christians anchor of hope that buoys
up the sinking heart and nerves the
faltering footstep to struggle on in the
straight and narrow and thorny path
to the end
Without the promise of Easter this
would be a black world, indeed. If
death were the end of it all, instead of
merely the portal through which man
passes to his inheritance, the Life
Everlasting, if there were no eXpecta-
ton, no hope beyond the grave, exist
ence were a bitter mockery, indeed.
Science agrees with the Bible that
man was fashioned from the dust
There is nothing in the transition to
the life everlasting or the spiritual
plane Of existence that is not entirely
scientific, though mortal science has
not reached the explanation of it any
more than it has solved those equally
mighty mysteries-birth and death
Science does not deny the spirit. Death
is the dissolution of the body, but. so
far as science knows, the spirit, which
exhibits an affinity with a spiritual life
even in this existence, after the death
of the body continues that spiritual
environment. Such spiritual life is not
only not contrary to science, but is
rendered more hopeful by science.
Hence, it is brilliant hope to which
the Christian looks forward at Easter
tide-hope for liberation from the I'M
happiness of the flesh.
AS ashes are consigned to ashes and
dust to dust Easter teaches us the
glorious truth that, as the butterfly de-
velops from the caterpillar, the spirit
rises triumphantly from its clay into
new and exalted life

and homeless people Of the island tn
service will be in demand there BY both
natives and Americans with the setting
in OF the rainy season in the tropics.
In the Philippines, also, this noble
society is quietly and unostentatiously,
but zealously and indnstriously, at
work. Owing to the active operations
of the American army there and the
approach of the rainy season, the So
ciety is increasing the hospital staff
already there and assisting in the care
of the sick and wounded in camp and
field.
Lit is a privilege to take part in this
noble and patriotic work by contribut-
ing to the resources of the Red Cross,
and so the Register believes it will be
regarded by the generous people of
Wheeling and West Virginia in gen.
eral. To many poor suffering wearer
of the blue wounded in battle, and to
many loved ones at home to whom
precious lives were saved, the work of
the Red Cross during the late Spanish
war will ever be remembered with fer
vent gratitude and prayer. It's iabors
then, are a guarantee of it's present
mission, which is but that of the
Spanish war continued, and we have
every reason to know it will meet with
the most hearty cooperation and sup
port by our citizens in general.
All checks, drafts, p o. orders, etc.,
for the maintenance of the Red Cross
hospital work in Cuba and in the Phil
ippines, should be sent to the Office of
the American National Red Cro.s, 900
f street, n. W., Washington, D. c., and
made payable to John Joy Edison,
Treasurer, or to the American National
Red Cross. The society promises to
issue general directions for the ship
ment of supplies as soon as arrange
ments can be completed Packages
that may conveniently be sent to Cuba
by way Of New Orleans, should be ship
ped with freight prepaid, to the Louisi-
ana Red Cross, New Orleans, La, who
will act as the national society's receiv-
ing and forwarding agent at that port.
Now is given the opportunity to all
to give hand to a most noble work,
and we believe it will be given with
will.

The return of that 100000 to the
United States would serve the kicking
Cubans right, though it might work
injustice to the rank and file of the
ragged Cuban army, who are not the
parties doing the kicking. AS a strate-

like a charm.
