As FOR THE BOYS THAT BUTTE SENT OFF TO THE WAR

The three Butte companies, B, F and
g. of the 1st Montana volunteer infan-
try, left Butte for the regimental rem
devious at Helena, afterward desig-
mated as Camp Smith, on May 5, 1898,
For more than month prior to that
day there We're stirring times in Butte.
From the time of the blowing up of
the Maine to the day the telegram
came from Washington announcing
that the Montana militia would be ac-
cepted as an organization, the war
spirit ran high and the number of men
that would go from Butte was only a
question of how many would be ac-
cepted.
Three of the companies of the guard
We're stationed here and the grepter
number of the general and staff officers
Of the regiment lived here. All We're in
tensely anxious to see genuine military
service. Their only fear was that by
some nischance they would not get to
go to the front. The three Butte COM
panies were then commanded by Cap
tains William L. Hill, Ellis w. Wynne
and Charles Gardner. Anticipating a
call to arms the company commanders
commenced early. long before the dec
laration of war with Spain, to put
their commands into condition for the
emergency they fully expected to arise.
The men were equally as much inter-
ested as their officers and every drill
night saw as many as could possibly
turn out at the Armory for practice.
anf a% . n
exceed So men to the company, but by
the time the call came these were we'll
trained in military tactics and they
formed the nucleus to the three splen-
did companies who ultimately marched
away to war.
This early interest was enhanced
from day to day as diplomatic rela-
lions with Spain became more strained,
and when the declaration of war fin
ally came the war fever in Butte was
at zenith pitch. Butte could have fur
nished a full regiment and more in
stead OF three companies if the need
had been, and as a consequence the
commanders of the three companies
were enabled to pick the best men
from hundreds of applications for en-
iistnent Men from every walk in life
We're ready to go in any capacity only
to get to go. Lieutenant Alex Laist
then a practicing attorney, gave up his
Principal Soper of the West Center
Vile school gave up his school, Ex-
Alderman John c. Heilig was another
content to be one of the rank and file
and there were many others who were
just as willing and anxious, but the
members of the militia had to be given
the preference as far as possible, and
these, with the vast number of men
whose applications got in first shut out
many who would have otherwise have
been among the honored number.
There was great rejoicing among the
militiamen when the press dispatches
from Washington brought the news that
volunteers would be called for, for it
was taken as granted that the militia
would be called on first Ask an off,
Ger or private of the guard at that
time If he We're going, and he would be
offended at the implied suggestion that
he might not If the opportunity came.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 20.-The fall
elections are now but three weeks away
and the point has been reached where
the campaigns in the doubtful states
are getting very warm. Interest here
centers in the Ohio contest, which pre-
sents several novel conditions, among
them the independent candidacy of
Golden Rule Jones, mayor of Toledo,
for governor. There appears to be no
doubt that Jones will poll a much larg-
er vote than was at first supposed, al
though it will probably not reach half
the 100000 figure at which it is fixed
by his supporters The best estimates
of his vote appear to be those which
are based on the Coxey vote of 1895.
The whilom leader of the industrial
army received 52,675 votes for governor
I in that year. OF course Jones' follow
ing Is in many respects different from
that of Coxey, but he will receive
large part of the latters vote In ad-
dition it seems to be conceded that he
will carry his home county of Lucas
and poll a very heavy vote in Cuya-
hoga. Should he get a majority in Lu-
cas- at all approximating his phenomen-
al majority in Toledo at the last muni-
portant factor in the result. He car
ried Toledo by plurality of 10000. If
he were to carry Lucas county by half
that plurality this year the effect on
the general result would be very ma
teraL
The democratic plan Of campaign in
Ohio Is along much the same lines of
previous campaigns in which the party
has been successful in the state. 1t
is an effort to encourage the rural
democrats with the hope of victory so
as to poll an uncommonly large vote
in the densely democratic, back dis
tricts, and then to swing the scale by
carrying the big cities on local issues.
All of Ohio's large cities except Co.
lumbus are ordinarily republican
strongholds, and Columbus, although
normally democratic, is frequently de-
batable. 1t is singular fact that ev-
cry one of these cities, except Toledo,
now has democratic municipal ad-
ministration. and Toledo has Jones.
Lucas county. in which Toledo is To-
Gated and most of which Toledo is. has
a full complement of democratic coun-
ty officers. The claim is freely made
by the Mclean managers who visit
here that their candidate will carry
every one of the big cities. They pre-
dict that he will have plurality over
Nash in Lucas even if Jones has
more votes therein than either of the
other candidates
Mclean is making thorough and
superb canvass. The democratic party
is undoubtedly better organized in
Ohio than at any time in many years.
1t is the hardest fight that has been
made in the state since 1889, and one
of the hardest in its history. Mclean
is hardly a popular candidate, outside
of Hamilton county, in the ordinary
acceptance of the term. But he is
very forceful campaigner. who COM
mands the respect of his own partisans
and excites the fear of the republican
leaders. The latter are undoubtedly
very much alarmed and are closing the
campaign in dazzling manner, hav-
ing many prominent speakers on the
stump-although they started out in
the canvass assuming that the state
would SO republican with ease, as 1t

MAY REMOVE M'NALL.
Gov. Stanley, It is Said, Will
Have the Insurance Super
intendent "Investi-
gated"

Governor Stanley contemplates the re-
movaI of Webb McNall by an investiga-
tion conducted by legislative commit
tee after the legislature adjourns.
Nothing will be done in this direction
until the legislature is out of the way.
McNall has been confirmed by the
senate and his term of office extends I'm
til July 1.
1t was reported today that McNall
had been removed but the rumor is
without foundation.
The governor, speaker of the house
and lieutenant governor are authorized
by law to appoint a legislative commit
tee to investigate public officials. and
this is the method by which the pres
ent administration seeks to remove Nc
Nall.
1t is admitted at the executive office
that a plan to remove McNall has been
under consideration for some time.
Since Representative McKeever has
backed down on his scheme to have Nc
Nall investigated by a house commit
tee, Governor Stanley has taken hold
of the matter.

A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Is About to Be Inaugurated Against
the FiIipinOR.

Washington, March 6.-There is some
reason to expect important news from
Manila within the next fortnight 1t
has developed that Gen. Otis has prac-
tically completed his plans for a grand
onslaught on the insurgents. which is
expected to deprive them of offensive
power, at least. 1t is probable that he
will form a large part of his force into
columns as soon as his reinforcements
are all at hand, and will push these in
parallel lines straight through the jun
giles, clearing out the insurgents in
every direction as the troops move for
ward. The Americans troops are get
ting restless and nervous under the
petty but unerring sharpshooting of the
FilipinOs and are so anxious to put
stop to this that Gen. Otis has yielded
to their desire.

Mr.. FREY'S PLACE.
RumOr of His Resignation Is

Publeo, Col, March 6-It is understood
that J. ]. Frey, general manager of the

assume the presidency of the Kansas City.
Pittsburg and Gulf road. 1t is rumored
here that Superintendent Charles Dyer
will be general manager upon Mr.. Frey s
retirement.
Kansas City, March 6.-The report
from Pueblo, Col, to the effect that J.
J. Frey, general manager of the Atclli-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe system would.
on March Is, assume the presidency of
the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf rail-
road succeeding Mr.. A E. Stillwell is
pronounced by local officials of the Gulf
road to be entirely without foundation.
President StillwelI is at present in New
York city where he is preparing plans
for a proposed organization of the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg & Gulf road and it's
northern connections. General Manager
Robert Gilham stated to an Associated
Press representative today that Mr.
Frey's reported connection with his
road was entirely untrue, and that Mr..
Stil1weu would remain at the head of
the road. Mr.. Gillian said he was at a
loss to understand how the report
started.
Mr. Frey is at present somewhere in
Old Mexico.
OPINION IN TOPEKA.
The report from Pueblo that Mr..
J. J. Frey had rendered his resignation
as general manager of the Santa Fe to
accept the position of president of the
Pittsburg & Gulf road, is not credited
among the Santa Fe officials in this
city. 1t is believed it is simply the re-
suit of the runor in circulation three
weeks ago that Mr.. Frey was to become
receiver of the PittsbUrg & Gulf. Mr..
Frey denied the rumor at the time.
1t seems strange that rumors of a
change in position should so persistent
ly follow Mr.. Frey. Besides the rumors
Gulf, it has been rumored at different
times within the past three months that
he was to become receiver of the Mis-
souri, Kansas & Texas railroad.
From the fact Mr.. Frey is an old NJ.
K. & IT. official who was deposed by the
management of the reorganiZed road, it
is believed that had he ever the oppOr-
tunity of going back to that road at a
better salary than he now receives from
the Santa Fe, he would take it as a
matter of vindication, if nothing else. In
reference to the Pittsburg e. Gulf road,
there is no possibility of it going into
the hands of receivers, and there has
been no rumor of Mr.. A. E. Stillwell
the present president of the line, resign
ing.
While Mr.. Charles Dyer, now superin-
tendent of the western division of the
Santa Fe, stands we'll with the Santa
Fe management and is recognized as an
operating man of ability, it is a ques-
ton if he would be named as general
manager in the event of Mr.. Frey re-
signing.
