gan to show strength shorts took fright

sale, competition soon helped the price
and May advanced to 1l1ac. A private
message from a local trader who is
abroad reported Russians cancelling rye
sales and declared that France was buy

and as New York syndicate which was
reported long about 100000 bushels
bought on every dip. the price held stead

Reports received late in the day said
that the Argentina wheat crop would be

of the Butte Hardware company, was
the only man to hold his ground. He
was assassnated in his bank by a
crank named Reilly, who had been Grip

from Largely on several occasions, but
the old man finally refused to make any
more advances. Then Reilly shot and
killed him.

AS SEEN IN THE EAST
The New York kilograms Story
of Clark's Ambition.
WHY He LEFT THE STATE
His Connection With the Big Powder
Explosion and His Refusal to
Settle With the Widows
and Injured.

The New York Morning Telegraph
has lately been devoting a great deal
of attention to Montana affairs, espe
cially politics and Montana millionaire
residents of New York. It's familiarity
with such matters seems to indicate that
it is getting some of it's information
from parties we'll acquainted with
facts. In it's issue of last Sunday it
had this story:
wv. A. Clark. who has been living at
the Waldorf Astoria lately, left for
Helena, Mont, yesterday to personally
conduct his fight before the state leg
islature for the United States senate,
Mr.. Clark is many times a millionaire.
He is the richest man in Montana, or
probably. in all the West.
This is his second trip to his home
state in a number of years, and in con-
nection with his return an interesting
story was told by an acquaintance and
political supporter of the millionaire to
a reporter for The Sunday Telegraph at
the Waldorf Astoria last night.
Mr.. Clark was one of four million
aires who were virtually driven from
the state after the bi" powder maya
zine explosion at Butte three years
ago., said the Montanan, as it was
generally understood that they were
marked for assassination by the friends
of the men who We're killed, and who
had joined forces with the injured and
manned. Sixty men We're killed by the
explosion. In fact, the entire fire de-
partment. from chief down, was al
most wiped out. Many others We're in
jured.
TWO magazines exploded. One was
owned by the kenyonConnell COM
pany and the other by the Butte
Hardware company. Both were To-
Gated within the city limits, down near
the railroad station, and it is supposed
that they held larger quantities Of
dynamite than was allowed by the law.
though this was not proved at the in
vestigation.
wv. A. Clark was one of the largest
stockholders in the Kenyon-Connell
company, and every effort was made
by the friends of the killed to make
him individually responsible along with
the other members of the concern. all
of whom are millionaires. This effort
failed Clark and his associates refused
the relatives Of the dead men, and also
declined to provide for the injured.
Many of these were crippled for life. /

lost her three sons, who We're MEM

the other grains. May closed a shade

A light run of hogs and a good export

SAN FRANCISCANS GO
TO VICTORIA TO WED
DR.. George M. Terrill and Miss Hut
ton United by Canon
Beanlands.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 19.-Victoria
was the Gretna Green where a romance
which was begun in San Francisco
ended this morning with the wedding
of DR.. George NJ. Terrill and Miss Hut
ton. both of San Francisco. The couple
arrived from the Golden Gate by the
steamer Umatilla yesterday and regis
tered at the Driard Hotel. This morn
ing they took a pleasant drive about
the city, in the course of which they
visited Christ Church Cathedral.
There they were met by Gus Hart
nagel, proprietor of the hotel, who on
short notice had agreed to act as best
man, and Rev. Canon Bean Beanlands
made the two San Franciscans man
and wife. Mrs. Beanlands supported
the bride The ceremony was very
simple and private one, and on the con-
clusion of the few formalities the party
returned to the Driards, where Canon
Beanlands and Mrs. Beanlands were
their guests at a wedding luncheon.
The clergyman was particularly i'm
pressed with the fact that it was the
desire Of the contracting parties to
have their marriage kept private Prob
ably from this reason, or for more di-
rect causes, the newly-married couple
are reported to have eloped The
groom however, secuted the sugges-
ton. The reason for the journey to
Victoria and the secret wedding as he
gives it, was a desire to avoid notori-
ETY. It is rumored that the wedding
may have an important bearing on the
disposal Of property in San Francisco.
The couple leave for California on the
next steamer.

BITTER ATTACKS ON
JOCKEY TOD SLOAN
London Newspapers Insist That the
American Assaulted the Ascot
Waiter

LONDON. June 19.-The afternoon
newspapers to-day are insisting that Tod
Sloan, in spite of his denials is the man
who assaulted a waiter at Ascot on
Thursday. The Evening News is indig-
nant at the fact tnat the Jockey Club
has apparently decided to let the matter
drop, and is stirring up public feeling
against him. The paper says:
The English Jockeys by their behavior
and general bearing have succeeded dur
ing the last twenty years in totally alter
ing their social status, and it is hard
lines on them that a foreigner should
come to England and bring disgrace on
the profession without any official no.
tice being taken of it. Inc next time
Sloan appears on a racecourse he will
learn what the public think of him The
fact that he denies what fifty people wit
messed may display American bravado.
but in no other way will it better his po-
sition."
The Star publishes several abusive let
ters, calling Sloan an American stable
boy and a 'FLiliputian Yankee The
same paper asserts that after careful in
gestigation it was shown, that 1t was
Sloan and no one else who struck the
waiter with a champagne bottle, com
pletely opening his lip. so that large
portion of it hung over his mouth
The waiter is still under the care of a
doctor.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

Out on the water in the moonlight. A
more beautiful or romantic situation for
young man to tell the story of his love and
ask the young woman of his choice. to share
his life cannot be imagined.
The courtship of young couple may be
ever so romantic and their married life be
very unhappy. There are common sense
considerations outside of love that have
world to do with the making of married
happiness. One of the most important of
these considerations is the good health of
both parties to the sacred tie. The young
man who is in the incipient stages of con-
sumption commits a crime if he marries
before he is restored to health. He con-
demns his wife to the life of a nurse and
his children to early death, or lives of sick
