The Lightning Rod in Politics.

There have been some pretty hot

nees is being made on the grounds that
If elected he will deplete the city treas
ury by purchasing lightning rods. 1t
seems that while a member of the
school board the candidate insisted on
having lightning rod on every school
building. Though lightning rods are no
novelty in politics, yet the lightning rod
issue, as thus presented, is a new one.
Usually all the candidates have their
lightning rods up during the cam
paign. They are taken down later.

ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH.
1t Is the Mecca for Thousands of the Cit.
Zens of Butte.

zens of Butte.
The Catholic church in this city en-
larged few years ago to a seating
capacity of 1,400, is the Mecca to which
thousands of Buttes citizens turn their
steps every Sunday morning, noon and
night. Here is where the enormous
crowds go to worship 1t is a beautiful
church and its congregation is rapidly
growing. OF its supporters and the
services the Montana Catholic, in the
current number, says:
ASIDE from the great mines on the
bill which make Butte known all over
the world, the stranger in the city who
has come from perhaps one of the large
towns of the East is more impressed by
a visit to st. Patricks church on any
Sunday morning, no matter whether
the sun is shining or the clouds obscure
the sky and rain or snow renders the
atmosphere on the outside anything
but agreeable. Commencing at s
o'clock in the morning, crowds of peo-
pie are seen vending their way to the
church, which is filled six times on
each Sunday, at least, and each time
mass is celebrated 1900 to 400 people
kneel and praise God for the spiritual
and temporal blessings so bountifully
bestowed. The church edifice is itself
sight to surprise the visitor. who nat
urally looks for a more primitive affair
in a mining camp. Since its enlarge
ment 1,400 people can be accommodated
and at the last two masses of each
Sunday crowds are usually standing at
the doorway unable to gain admittance.
The interior decorations of the church
are such as would be expected only in
a large city of the East while the music
furnished by the choir Is worthy of the
church and the congregation. Only
short zine ago a debt of $4,000 was
paid off in a few weeks and since that
time about ST., 600 has been spent on the
enlargement and interior decoration.
No church in the world but a Catholic
church could make such a showing, and
the spirit shown is only a repetition Of
what can be seen in all Catholic par
isheS wherever the means are given to
the people to show the faith that is in
them. In the Catholic church all are
On terms of perfect equality and no one
is expected to give more than he feels
is according ITO his means. The widows
mite is just as much appreciated and
calls forth the same blessing as the
large donation of those who are able
to give greater amounts. At the altar
rail kneel side by side the millionaire
and the pauper, equals absolutely in
the sight of God and the church, each
with an immortal soul to save and each
to be judged, not according to his sta
ton in life, but as he has kept or vio-
lated the laws of God and His church"

DAVIS ESTATE CONTEST
Instituted by the Sons of the
Late John A. Davis.
PROMISES TO BE BITTER
The Executor of the Will Put In Claim
for $4,000. Represented by
Notes Given to Him by
His Mother

Another Davis estate contest was in
day and if not as important as the
original contest over the will of An
drew j. Davis, it promises to be more
bitter. 1t is between the sons of the
late John A. Davis, the sole heir under
the disputed will, the new contest be-
ing over a big portion of the estate of
their mother, Thea Jane Davis, who
died in Butte about two years ago. Mrs.
Davis estate at the time of her death
consisted solely of her interest in the
portion her husband had in the origi-
nal Davis estate, amounting to con-
siderable sum of money and a share in
the real estate. She left briefly word
ed will, dividing her estate among her
five sons, but leaving the greater por-
ton to her favorite son, George W.
Davis, and naming him as executor
After some talk of n contest of the
will it was finally admitted to probate
without objection and the executor pre-
scented claim against the estate for
$4,000, represented by notes given him
by his mother during her lifetime. The
other sons of Mrs Davis gave notice
VI THEIR lflleHtlOn TO contest the claim
on the ground that the notes were OBJ
tanned by fraud and without considera-
ton. The written objections filed yes
terday read as follows:
Now come Andrew j. Davis, John
E. Davis, Charles G. Davis, Morris A.
Davis and Edward A. Davis, heirs of
Thea Jane Davis, deceased, and file
this, their objections to the allowance
of the alleged claim of George w.
Davis filed in this court, and aver az
follows: That said alleged claim Of
George w. Davis is for the sum Of
100000 and is based on notes of Thea
Jane Davis, deceased; that said alleged
claim is not justly due and should not
be allowed by the court as a claim
against said estate; that, as these OBJ
jectorS are informed and believe, said
notes were given entirely without any
consideration therefor and that the
same are void and of no force and eff
feet and that the same We're obtained
by said George w. Davis by undue in
fiuence' and by Misrepresentation and
fraud, wherefore the DIRECTORS protest
against the allowance of said claim of
George w. Davis and ask that said
claim be disallowed."
The objections Were set for hearing
by Judge Smith on Oct. IA, at which
time the matter will probably be taken
up by Judge Lindsay.
Proofs We're heard yesterday on a
claim of the First National bank
against the estate of Mrs. Davis for
SIT, 900, represented by notes for money
loaned her during her lifetime at vari-
