that Maurice Grau of the Metropolitan

ST|RS UP BAD FEELING
Citizens of Havre Are Bickering
Among Themselves.
HAD TOO MUCH REFORM
The Sunday Closing Ordinance Was Too
Stringent-It Is Not Observed-At-
lacking the Reputation
of Good Men.

Great Falls, June 1.-The ivory white
winged dove of peace does not seem to
be doing much perching in the vicinity
of Havre in these days and it is all on
account of that sunday closing ordi-
nance From all that can be learned at
this point the ordinance in it's essence
originated with a committee of citizens
chosen by a peculiar sort of public
meeting called by one l.. Newman, a
dealer in periodicals and peanuts. The
old council went out OF office
with a record of having cleaned up
$4,000 of debt for the town. Two of the
members of the town council were re-
placed by members of the so-called re-
form movement and of the two one
was this same Newman. The ordinance
was in force so far as all forms went
and then began an attack in Great
Falls and Chinook papers, for which
Newman is correspondent, upon the re-
firing members Of the council and a
good many braggadoccio statements of
what the new council was about to ac-
complish. These seem to be the facts
as far as this office can learn from con-
servative and careful correspondence
with Havre people. Newman has styled
himself in his correspondence as the
president of the reform movement, and
Havre people are beginning to take ex-
ception to such statements.
This column has already admitted
the dire necessity of reform in Havre.
Tt also stated at the time the stringent
ordinance was passed that its provisions
were entirely too severe and must fol-
low the rule of all prohibitions. Such

BUTTE NEWS.
STOLE A PR|MA DONNA
The Mysterious Disappearance of
Adele harrington.
A MOST SERIOUS CRIME
The Cherished Beauty OF the Grau Opera
Company She Was Afterwards
Found in the Solitude of
Philadelphia

The many Butte friends and admir-
ers, and one or two in particular, of
handsome and shapely Adele Earring
ton, will read with interest the follow
ing story, from the New York Tele-
graph, of her abduction or mysterious
disappearance, and her fortunate re-
coVery:
abduction is a crime for which only
angels may find forgiveness. Further
more, it appears to be contagious, like
suicide and bodysnatching.
Hard upon the news of the stealing
of little Marion Clark from Central
park comes the news of the bold abb
duction of Miss Adele harrington
Marion Clark is a tot of tender years
and no particular intrinsic value.
Adele Harrington is a prima donna,
whose physical personality might have
inspired the genius of a Phidias, and
whose vocal abilities have been ap-
praised at $3.50 per week by David Hen
derson, Thomas Prior and julius Grau
$50 the abduction of Miss Harrington
is clearly more serious crime against
the peace and dignity of the state than
the sequeStration of the small person
of Marion Clark.
Miss Harrington is a tall, 1.-the,
curve blessed young woman, of posi-
bly, % years. She was, during the
past theatrical season, the adulated
and cherished prima donna of the Grau
Opera company, which played success
full engagements in most of the impor-
tant cities west of New York, Philadel-
phia and Boston. Miss Harrington sang

SMELLS STOLEN.


Great Falls. June 1.-The edition de
luxe smell of decaying coyote skins has
disappeared from the court house. al
though there is a fainter-stained odor
still remaining. AS yet there is no
clue to the despoiler who carried the
heads and hides away on the day
chosen by the nation to honor the dead,
but there was considerable talk about
the building to-day and Vincent For
tune, the clerk and recorder is respon-
sible for the statement that consider
able suspicion attaches to the skilled
draughtsman, Prof. o. C. Morrison. The
Standard representative declines to be
responsible for this statement, al
though it is generally admitted that
the professor was foremost in dannrnc-
ing the law and everything that apper-
tains to it. A fresh installment of hides
appeared yesterday and We're duly
! punched and placed in the basement,

peared, and another batch arrived to-
| day and followed the same route. The
| law says that the heads must be pre-
| served for 50 days after the bounty

phies. nor is there any who would care

prediction has since been justified. The
Great Northern payday fell upon May
q and there was not a place in town
where the pay checks could be cashed.
The holders went elsewhere and Havre
merchants lost thereby trade, future
and past The following Sunday sew
eral Of the saloons had their back doors
open and some of the candy stores and
such like shops had their front doors
open, and the proprletors said that they
intended to keep their places open at
just such hours as suited themselves,
and with this beginning 1t is probable
that the entire ordinance will fall to
pieces.
Just why the old crowd in the council
were superseded by Newman and his
associates is not made apparent. Ger
tainly Messrs. Gussenhoven and Fen
ton have always borne the reputation
of straightforward, honorable business
men. and it is probable that something
besides personal character determined
the day at the election. There seems to
be no occasion for the reflections made
upon them by the Newman correspond
ence and it has only served to stir up
some very bad feeling in the town. This
office is in receipt of a letter written by
an official of Choteau county to Mr..
Newman, in which the personal charac-
ter of the latter is attacked and in a
manner which leaves no doubt of the
writer's sincerity. What this bitterness
of feeling in the hustling little railway
center will amount to no one can pre-
dict, but it is easy to see that it does
Havre no good. and the sooner all per-
sonal feeling is dropped and the people
get together and make some permanent
sensible reforms the better. Havre is
a good town, destined to make a steady
growth in the future, and it would be a
pity should her future be blighted by
the inconsiderate pickering of her citi-
zenS.

Fish rs EiEhterA.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
of a savage little fish for many years,
and have long been in the habit of
making matches between those owned
by different men, just as McXicans
match gamecocks and some Americans
and Englishmcn bull pups. When a
match is made the parties to it having
laid their bets bring their specimens
Of the fierce little Beta pugnax in
globes Of water. Both are put into one
globe and without moments hcsita-
ton they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one of the COM
bAtants is killed by the other.
1t Is only Il year or two since speci-
mems of this fish We're brought to
Paris, but now many are owned in
Paris, and it is said that the demand
for good specimens is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with red and blue and would attract
attention In any aquarium by their
colors alone. The savage nature be-
hind the beauty would hardly be sus-
pected.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Notice should be taken of the efforts
which have from time to time been
made by the marine architect to miti-
gate the miscries of seasickness. He
has doubled his ship, he has slung his
ship as in cradle. TO no purpose. The
life Of the channel steward remains an
arduous one. Seasickness is not to
be conquered by the shipwright If
it was merely the rolling motion that
creates nausea. then a hammock or Il
cot would be as sure Il relief as twin
ship or a cradle hung saloon. Sea-
sickness Is caused by the several mo-
lions of the sea combined, and the
worst of these movements the builder
cannot possibly deal With mean
the trough into which the ship falls,
and the liquid activity to whose
frothing head she leaps.-Clark Rus

ROOKEFELLERS EXPANDING.
Some Gossip Regarding Their Held.
ings In the AdirOndacks.

Malone, n. Y, July 6.-Since the ac-
QUESTION by the Rockefcllers of the two
immense tracts of land in the Adiron-
dacks there is much speculation as to
how far their purchases may be ex-
tended. Their present Adirondack hold
ings are well timbered, and several lakes
and rivers add to their value and worth.
Both tracts have been put into private
preserve.
Their first purchase included some
2S,OOO acres in the town of Santa Clara.
On this property they are erecting nu-
merous cottages, guides quarters and
lighthouses, involving an outlay of $780,
OOO. The second purchase was the prop
erty known us the Debar mountain tract
in the town of Duane, comprising about
10000 acres. This property partly ad
joins that of the Meacham Lake Hotel
company, who own several thousand
acres.
1t is currently reported here that the
RockefellerS have made offers for the en-
tire Meacham lake property and also for
the Paul Smith property and forest
lands. Nothing definite is said to have
been agreed upon. a year ago the
Meacham lake property was on the mar
ket at $4,000, but this was before the
new hotel was erected. Since then a
stock company organized in Malone has
acquired it.
Within the Santa Clara preserve were
numerous private holdings and small
village known as Brandon. These prop
erty owners have been largely bought up
during the last few months, so that the
Rockefellers practically own the town.
Should the Meacham lake property be
purchased it is said the same policy
would be followed in the town of Duane,
which consists almost WHOLLY of Il sparse
ly settled farming commulAty. All the
purchases so far have been made In the
name of William Rockefeller of New
York, by Malone attorneys.
