FEEDING SHEEP. SHEEP

Rsa Bros. Of St. Paul Will Feed Over.
One Hundred Thousand Head.
Will Rea, the St. Paul sheep buyer,
came III from Big Timber Saturday and
left yesterday for home.
Mr.. Rea says that his firm is feed
ing 76. 600 head Of sheep for the mar
ket, and during the last Ct January he
would ship $4,000 head from Big Tim
ber, Park City and Billings to put on
the market after few months feed.
When questioned as to the market he
said it was very poor and at present
there seemed but little prospect Of feed
ers realizing any profit from their
sheep. Another thing was the price
that has to be paid for screenings, the
dealers having advanced the price near
" double.
While here Mr.. Rea sold the wool to
Ralph Berry Of the "a. 900 head OF sheep;
be is to ship. the price received being
"a cents. which is good start for the
1899 wool season.

GIVES CARTER CREDIT.
Someone Else Trying to Throw the Re-
publican Votes to CLARK.

Helena, Jan. 8.-(Anaconda s. Stand
ard special. The hotel lobbies have
been practically deserted all day, but
are filling up again tonight. All the
absent members are expected back on
tonight's late trains. There is little, if
any, change in the senatorial situation.
The Clark forces have been thoroughly
scared BY the. bribery talk and are con-
Quoting themselves much more quietly
and secretly than last Wednesday and
Thursday. Apparently some Of the
Clark lobbyists who were SO conspic-
uous last week have been ordered to
stay away from the hotel altogether.
Perhaps the chief interest today has
centered iii the probable action of the
fourteen republican members. On the
first ballot; at least, all are expected to
vote for Tom Marshall, the republican
caucus nominee. Most Of them are
first-rate men and will continue to
stand by Marshall to the end. All Of
them may do SO, and Will do SO. il they
listen to the pleadings and warnings of
the better class of republicans through
cut the state Evidence has accunulat-
ed to make it practically a certainty
that Senator Garter was acting in good
faith when he came here to urge the re-
publicans to be true to Tom Marshall
and the republican party.
The real person who is seeking to
disintegrate the repu blican membership
and throw as many of them as possible
to Clark is we'll. known republican
politician Of Helena, who has large in
terests in northern Montana, and who
is decidedly hostile to Carter. Two Of
these gentlemen's = friends, both Helena,
republicans, one a well-known insur-
ance man and the other young law
yer, who perhaps is better known in
social than, in political circles, have
been very thick with certain Helena
democrats who are helping to manage
Clark's campaign. In fact, these re-
publicans do not make any effort to
conceal the fact that they are working
III Clark e interests. Only a few Of the
republican members, however, are be-
lieved to be weak.
Both houses will meet tomorrow
afternoon and hold brief session.
Late tonight the excitement over Tues
days ballot is increasing and tomor-
row night it will be at fever heat.
Tuesdays ballet, of course, will be
taken by each house separately and
will hardly be a fair test Of the real
strength Of any of the candidates, be-
cause some Of the members may en-
brace the opportunity TO cast; a compli-
mentary vote for democrats who are
not in the race az all.

THEY ARB At IT AGAIN
The Montana Legislators Con
vened Yesterday After
Recess Since Friday.
CHARGES OF BRIBERY
A Resolution introduced for a Joint
Committee Of Both Houses to
Investigate Same.

! VI Z . +
The Montana legislators worked
F. iday-a little and took holiday On
Saturday. But little was accomplished
by either branch.
The senate committee on public
morals. of which Gruwell from Yellow
stone is member, to whom the petit
ton for the enactment Of a civil Sun
day rest law was referred, recon-
,nended that action upon the same be
postponed.
But two bills were introduced and
referred to the proper committees, after
being read the first and second times.
One was S. b. No. y, BY Senator Stan
ton. defining the liabilities Of railroad

which the arid land commission is
operating.

amending the law in regard to chattle
mortgages and the taking of mortgageH

notice of bill to create in certain sized
cities board Of municipal service
commissioners to have the management
and control of the police and fire de-
partments.
The senate adjourned until 2 p. IN,
Monday
Tho House.
One of the important features OF
Fridays meeting was that the house
decided that it could not afford to pay
for copies of the leading dailies Of tho
state, and therefore the members will
be compelled to pay for their reading
matter.
The following notices Of bills were
read:
By Cooney, bill for an act to pro-
vide for the license, management and
control Of surety companies doing bust
ness in the state of Montana and for
the acceptance Of such companies when
properly licensed as surety upon official
bonds and bonds given in legal proceed
ings or otherwise required to be given
by the state, county or municipalities,
and to repeal section 1900 of the Code
Of Civil Procedure.
By Walsh, to amend the Civil Code,
relating to the distribution Of the tax
collected from fire insurance companies.
By Truscott, to amend the Political
Code, relating to the bonds Of officers.
By johnson, to provide for the cleo
tion of road supervisors, to define
their powers and duties and to fix their
compensation.
By Lindsay, to prohibit building and
loan associations from charging with
drawal fee or imposing q fine upon the
par value Of stock or declared dividends
By Fitzpatrick, to amend the Politi-
cal Code relating to county officers.
The reading Of house bills in full for

was done, after which the house adj
journed until Monday afternoon.

duced resolution for a joint commits
tee to investigate the charges OF bribery
that have been floating around The
resolution, which was introduced BY
Campbell Of Park county, was as fol-
lows:
+ { Whereas, Charges Of bribery and

THINKS CLARK WILL LEAD.
The Situation as Sized Up by the Helena
NJ Herald.

Tie situation as Sized Up by the Helena
Herald.
Helena Herald, editorials Tolnor-
row, Tuesday, will mark the opening
in the legislative assembly with respect
to the senatorial contest. The indica-
tions are, Oh the eve of the fight, that
the balloting will begin and proceed
for some time without any conclusive
result. At the commencement, with
out any attempt at determinative
caucus action on the part Of the ma
jority, the democrats will divide their
votes among at least three announced
or understood candidates. with the
prospect that there will be other and
scattering votes for individuals whom
some of the members desire to honor in
a complimentary manner. The front
row candidates on the start will be w.
A. CLARK Of Silver Bow, e. D. Mats
of Deer Lodge and W. g. Conrad OF
Cascade, with the chances of the Silver
Bow man taking the lead and keeping
it to the finish.
The republican minority, when the
time of roll call is reached, will have
party choice for whom to cast their
votes. and these will probably be an
nounced for Thomas 9. Marshall, the
late republican candidate for congress.
Doubtless members on the republican
side. as occasion presents, will name
other distinguished party men whom
they desire to compliment by their
votes. The Herald is SO informed and
plausibly such is the case.
The initial balloting. as the Herald
is advised, is expected to favor the sew
eral democratic aspirants in the follow
ing order:
First-Clark Of Silver Bow.
Second-Matts OF Deer Lodge.
Third-Conrad Of Cascade.
The temper at present displayed by
his newspaper is evidence that Mr..
DAILY is disposed to do his utmost to
compass the defeat Of Mr.. CLARK. The
Standard scandalizes the democracy Of
the state by defaminR the party. men
who are expected to select the successor
Of Senator Mantle. There are bribers
and bribe-takers, the Standard avows
again and again. The complacency Of
members, nevertheless, seems little dis.
turbed and the feeling appears to grow
against the Anaconda boss dominating
the party and debating the senatorial
choice.

Miss Carrie Knapp, one of the summer
colony now sojourning at the Newtown
Inn, has very kindly offered her services
in, giving recital of 1.-THE Passion PLAY"

In gratitude for their deliverance, the
people made a solemn VOW that they
would give 1.-The Passion Play" mag
nif1cent portrayal of the events immedi-
ately preceding the crucifixiOn of the
Saviour, every 10 years. The VOW has
been as sacredlY kept as it was made.
Miss Knapp was wOnde rfully interest
ed in the play when she saw it and has
conceived the idea of sharing her interest
with others. She Is lady who has had
the largest advantages for culture

recital of the play several times to crowd
