and 1t has been estimated that the expense
would be about S22 500. The railroads have
announced that s26 will be the cheapest
rate they will make.
Mr.. p; /. Bonebralke, of the committee
said: Il understand that the lowest rate
that the roads will make will be $26. and
that will bring the expense of special
train to So, 800. We cannot raise any such
amount for the undertaking"
Major Anderson said: THE regiment de-
cided to be mustered out in Sa nFrancisco
so do not think we should charter a spe-
cial train for them. Besides. il would be a
hard matter to arrange. All the members
of the regiment would not want to come
home over the same road. They will be
anxious 10 get home and will not want TO
stay here. The proper thing to do is to
arrange for reception and special enter

ing them well for the future. The ex-
act state of the finances of the asso-

BUTTE GAMBLER POISONED
JESSE OWENS HAD A NARROW
ESCAPE.
Swallowed Mercury Tablet at the
Road House Last Night-Pulled
Through BY Emeties.

Jesse Owens, a Butte gambler, had
a very narrow escape from death last
night at Fairchild's road house on
State street. Owens took by mistake,
it is said, a Park & Davis antiseptic
tablet, made of bichloride of mercury,
and it came near killing him.
Jesse and Billy Owens, who are two
well known faro bank dealers of Butte,
have been in town a few days, having
quite a joyful time. Early yesterday
morning they met two Commercial
street lady friends in restaurant and
took them out. They wound up at the
road house at Z o'clock last evening
Jesse Owens had a bottle of the anti
septic tablets with him, and in trying
to use one he made a mistake He
swallowed it. AS the tablets are made
of deadly poison, he soon became sick,
and when the brother discovered what
he had done, he had Jesse swallow a
large quantity of salt water. This
made him vomit several times.
DR.. Root, who was called, found
Owens in a fair condition. He had prac-
tically recovered so that it was not
necessary to give him any other emet-
les. The sick man was put to bed and
he was sleeping soundly at 2:30 this
morning

Some Plain Language Used at the
Meeting of the Mckinley Club
Last Evening-W. w. Taylor
Thinks the Long Dry Spell Should
End-Join the Democrats.

The Mckinley Colored Republican club
has grown weary of the snubbing it has
received at the hands of the Republican
party and proposes to secure recognition
or transfer its allegiance to some other
organization. The subject was discussed
at meeting held last evening and ii
was decided to call mass meeting of the
colored voters of the city to be held next
Monday night 1t is claimed that there
are $40 colored voters in the city, and they
propose to support the party that will
give them some recognition.
Last nights meeting was held at 159
state street III. FL. Voss, president of
the club, was in the chair.
Chairman Voss said: I'VE have not been
dealt with fairly. We have been Sighted.
and We must demand our rights While
we are Republicans in 4 national cam
palgn, 1t is different in a, local election.
We are here to define a policy insthe local

John Greenaway. a visitor, asked to be
heard. He gave his experience in Colo
RADIO, where he had been elected to the
legislature after having joined the Demo-
Gratis. He said: Our color is an index
of our politics, and SO long as we stand
in with the Republicans without recog-
milton, they will say. oh, we have got the
coiored man anyhow, let US recognize the
foreigners and get their votes. Now, you
have been serving the Republicans thirty
five years for nothing, suppose you come
over and serve the Democrats and -
For thirty-five years more?" asked
some one.
No" continued the speaker, hut join
US and demand your rights now. There
is no doubt but that a Democrat will be
elected mayor; join the Democrats now
or you will never get anything. Show the
Republicans that you will leave them
and maybe they will give you some in

and finally a resolution was adopted call
