LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY.
Evidence of a Murder Discovered at
Wolf Creek.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Sept. 13.-The evidence of
murder that had been committed in the
last few years in the vicinity of Wolf
Creek, about As miles north of here, be-
came known to the authorities to-day,
when the remains of the victim were dis
covered by a hunting party.
About noon Coroner Brooke received a
telephone message from Wolf Creek that
some hunters reported having found
partially buried body in the mountains,
about two and half miles south, bear
ing the indications of foul play.
The coroner and County Attorney Nc
Connel proceeded to the place returning
late tonight. They said from what they
saw they are sure it was case of muir
der, but there is nothing to base a clew
upon. Underneath a pile Of rocks, in an
excavation made by the uprooting of a
tree. was found the bones of man of
about 10. The flesh had rotted off and
only pieces of the shirt and drawers re-
mained. No other pieces of clothing
could be found. There was a small patch
of dark-brown hair clinging to the skull.
One foot protruded from the pile of rocks
and ii was by this that the skeleton was
discovered by the hunters. There was a
fracture in the skull One iawbone was
broken and there was a puncture in the
skull that had evidently been made by a
bullet.
With no clue to work upon. it was de-
cided to bury the body at Wolf Creek.
in the hope that from the meager descrip-
ton obtained some one might hear of the
finding and be able to perhaps identify the
dead person. Coroner Brooke said that
the body had been buried from two to
six years. The spot where the body was
found is in wild an inaccessible section
The discovery of the hunters furnishes a
mystery that may never be solved. II is
not improbable that the remains may be
those of a man who disappeared from
the vicinity of Sand Coulee about four
years ago He was known to have gone
in the direction of Wolf Creek. His re-
mains were searched for in vain in that
very section for several weeks

day with an attendance of over 400 del
eeates. Cornelius S. Moorhouse OF New
Haven, the national president. occu-
pied the chair. Various addresses Of
welcome were delivered.
President Moorhouse, in his address
recommended:
THAT it should be demanded that no
local union be permitted to order or
sanction a strike nor any officer among
members of our association to order
lockout until a consultation shall first
be held between the executive commit
tees of both the National Typothetae
and International union,
THAT the International union procure

THEIR PLANS.
Congressman McCIeary Expects Little
Financial Legislation,

Seattle. Sept. 13.-Congressman Nc
Cleary of Minnesota said to-day that
he did not look for much financial legis-
lation by the next congress.
The conference committee composed
of republican members of the senate
and house which met after the close
of the last session has, 7 understand,
practically agreed on a report. This re-
port will in all probability be largely
followed. Its nature has not yet been
announced, but it is understood TO be
quite comprehensive. The most import
ant feature of it will probably be a pro-
vision whereby the country will be
more safely launched upon gold STAN
daTd. The action which will probably
be taken this winter will be such that
hereafter only by an act of congress
can our monetary standard be changed.
Another feature will probably be of
some such kind as will protect the gold
reserve from what has been called The
endless chain. 1t is quite probable that
national banks will be authorized to is
sue bank notes to the par value of the
bonds deposited. 1t Is also probable
that provision will be made for the es-
tablishment of smaller banks in the less
populated communities"

den, who will make bust.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's death will have no
fleet on the Vanderbilt properties -
said Mr.. Depew to-day William X.
Vanderbilt, with his brothers consent,
took his position at their head two
years ago.
The friends of the family are yet
in ignorance of the provisions of the
will. Mr.. Depew said that William X.
Vanderbilt is in charge of everything,
as he is the head of the family.
1t is probable that several trust funds
have been formed under the will, so
that the estate may be entailed for at
least two generations.

M'KiNLEY CRITICISED.

hibitiouists.


hibitiouists.
Worcester, Mass, Sept 13.-The an
nual state convention of the prohibition
party was held here to-day. Many OF
the delegates were women. The chair
man, Rev. W. l.. Morrill, Of New Bed
ford, in his address, denounced the ad-
ministration for sanctioning the army
canteen.
The essential points of the PLATFORM
were the declarations in favor of the
abolition of the liquor traihc anu
against the saloon as the deadliest en-
emy of labor. On the issues or COM
merce currency and territorial expan-
sion no stand was taken, the platform
considering them too important to be
dealt with merely as party footballs
kicked by scheming politicians, backed
by saloon interests"
The platform favors woman suffrage.

of the government and the decision OF
Attorney General Griggs on the canteen
issue. The Mckinley administration
was also criticised in other particulars

HER FIRST VOYAGE.
The Oceanic, the Largest Steamer Afoat,
Arrives in New York.

New York, Sept. 19.-The new White
Star stea mer Oceanic, the largest afloat
from Queenstown, arrived at her pier
in North river at 145 O'Clock this after
noon and debarked her passengers. A
big crowd of those who had secured
passes to the dock and a bigger crowd
which had kept back of the fence
cheered the steamer as she crept up the
river and swung slowly into her berth.
Coming up from Liberty island the boat
appeared unwieldy and her tunnels too
high for symmetry but as she came
closer the impression of her great
length grew clearer. 1t took six tugs
40 minutes to shove her bow around
and force the huge vessel into place.
Docked, she filled almost the whole
length of the long pier.

A REMARKABLE PRECEDE Mt

Governor Bushnell of OHIO, has set a
most remarkable precedent. lie has
just pardoned a man serving ont lie
sentence. on the ion that he leave
re State rhe action of the Ohio chief
executive is indcfensible from every
point or view The prisoner either de-
served the sentence. or else was unjust
aly convicted. In the former event he
should not have been pardoned at all
In the latter contingency no condition
whatever should have been attached to
his release. Why a man who is not
worthy to live in Ohio should be re-
leased to prey upon society in other
States will strike the average American
as a rather difficult question and one to
which no logical answer may be given
In fact. 1t looks as If Bushnell is trying
Ito compound with his conscience for the
1 mistake into which his sick sentiment
tally has led him. 1t is a self-evident
fact that a man who is too bad TO live
in the Buckeye State ought to be in
prison.
Such cases as this emphasizes the ne
cessity for placing some check upon the
growing tendency toward the exercise
of unwarranted executive clemency.
Under the mistaken impulse Of Il senti-
mentalism which finds no justification
in common sense a power which should
be eminently beneficial has been trans
to society. Some means of ohvi:tting
the irresponsible release of all classes Of
criminals should be adopted

Doing Good Work.

Hardly 4 day goes by but some young
man goes into the Young Mems Chris
tan Association looking for employ

recommended by the secretary for va

know of situations which are open. 1t
is q fact that Suc.7 positions are con tin-
ually open and chances offered good
men to get regular work. 1t would be
mutually beneficial plan if those who
want men. clerks. stenographers, book
keepers. etc. would notify the secretary
of it. He feels confident that from the
number of those whom he meets he
could recommend such a class Of men
as would prove themselves faithful and
efficient. Assistance would also be af-
forded many worthy young men.

sional men who wish clerks. etc. will

the contrary, he went over and licked
the murderer lovingly on the left ear
The murderer reciprocated by licking
Bull on the nose. The colonel saw that
