New School Bonds Sedan Electric
Light Fight.
Special Correspondence Of the Standard
Big Timber, June 9.--The sale of the
$1,000 worth of school bonds, authorized
at the election in April, for the purpose
of erecting an addition to the present
cshool house, took place Tuesday, George
A. Ramsey, of the Union Bank and Trust
company of Helena. being the successful
bidder, at 5000 premium and payment for
the lithographing of the bonds. The bids
for the erection of the new building will
be opened tomorrow.
Permission was granted by the county
commissioners Monday to Clark Brothers
and c. 7. Busha to erect poles on the
streets of Big Timber for the purpose of
stringing electric light or telephone wires.
The request was opposed by a represen-
tative of the present electric light COM
pany, but the commissioners felt that they
had no right to deny the request. This
morning the Big Timber Electric Light
and Power company put men to work
digging holes on the side of the main
street opposite to that on which their
wires are already strung, with the evil
dent intention of taking up all the avail
able room for poles. thus shutting out
the new company. There promises to be
a fight, and the people are anticipating
cheaper lights as a result.
The slot machines which pay in money,
three of which have been in operation in
Big Timber for the past month, were
closed yesterday upon the order of County
Attorney E. M. Hall, who intimated that
their operation was a violation of the
gambling law. The cigar machines, how
ever, still continue to do thriving bust
ness.
The hobo nuisance, which has been very
annoying in this town for the past month,
is In fair way to be effectively dealt
with. Yesterday the county commission
ers authorized the proper officers to Sc
cure the necessary implements for the
equipment of a rock pile and the va
grants who have heretofore regarded a

and plenty to eat, as picnic. will here

WATER WORKS ALABAMA
CABINET DECIDES ON TERMS OF
CONTRACT.
Will be to Let a Company on Condition
That System May be Bought Back at
Ten Per Cent Advance.

The Cabinet decided finally today up
on the terms to be made to a company
for the building and operation of the
water works at Lahaina. Minister
Young will advertise the terms and the
concern to be awarded the contract will
be selected.
First of all the company taking the
contract is to pay the expenses of Sur
veyor Taylor up to $500. In addition
thereto the concern is also to pay for
the supervising engineer, who will be
appointed by the Government to put in
the plant. The entire system is to. be
under the supervision of the Minister
of Interior.
In case the Government decides to
purchase the system it is to pay the
cost thereof, ten per cent additional
and the expenses of Surveyor Taylor
and the supervising engineer; in other
words taking the plant off the hands of
the company at an advance of ten per
cent. In the meanwhile the company
will operate the system, collecting the
water rates, etc.
"A company of Lahaina citizens will
doubtless be given the contract. This
concern was organized for the purpose
and has the money in sight. In addi-
tion to supplying water it purposes
putting in a modern ice plant.
The conditions as they now stand are
amended from the action of November

TYRANNY OF THE WEAK.
How an American Paper Sees the Wal
In Africa,

For years Great Britain has been
tyrannized over by the Beers of the
Transvaal who have had nothing else
to protect them than their weakness.
They have been oppressive to the Brit
ish residents in the TransVaal in direct
violation of the clearly expressed terms
of the 1884 London Convention, which
guarantees equal rights to the British
residents with the Beers themselves: /:
and they have been insulting to the
British Government. 1t is we'll enough
known that Great Britain would not
have tolerated such maltreatment of
British subjects and such a violation
of treaty rights from a big nation
| France, for a example, had to knuckle
down very quickly over the Fashoda
business when Marchand and his men
had infringed Great Britain's rights in
the center of Africa. But here we have
had the Beers depressing British sub
jects and treating them as if they were
an inferior race in the Transvaal for
quite a number of years, and giving
| sassy replies to the British Govern
ment whenever the British Government
have demonstrated with them. And all
| this Great Britain has borne, only be-
cause she did not care to coerce by force
OF arms a state so much inferior in
power to her own. y But Great
Britain has endured this tyranny of the
weak until it has become absolutely in
tolerabe; and now she proposes to COM
pei the Beers by force to fulfil their
induce them to fulfil by gentler
diplomatic methods. II has been a
genuine tyranny through its weak
ness, but even such a tyranny can not
be allowed to go on forever The New

,JEFFR|ES. .SHARKEY FIGHT
EVERYTHING READY WHEN THE
LEELANAW SAILED.
Betting is Phenomenal at 10 to ! in
Favor of Jeffries - Record Breaking
Sales of Seats.

NEW YORK, November g. Prepara-
tions for the big fight tonight are now
complete. Jeffries came up from his
training quarters last night, and Shar-
key from his this morning.
Jeffries is the bigger man of the pair;
he weighs at least twenty-seVen pounds
more than the sailor, has a longer
reach and is taller by at least four
inches. Both men are familiar with
the rules under which they are to fight.
The straight Marquis of Queensberry
code will govern the battle. This gives
either man the right to hit with one
hand free, and ON the breakaway.
George Siler, who will referee the
bout, says that as both men have
fought and won victories under these
rules, he does not expect to experience
any difficulty with them.
The sale of seats has been enormous
1t is estimated that the winners share
will be about 100000. The betting is
something phenomenal and the current
odds 10 to : in favor of Jeffries.
