John w. stanton Was Great Falls First
Attorney


Attorney.
Great Falls, July 10-On Tuesday of
this week John w. Stanton will leave
with his family for Butte, where he will
locate for the practice of law-and make
his home in the future His departure
Is singular from the fact that he was
the first attorney of Great Falls. He
came to Montana in 1886 and opened a
law office in this city, then hardly more
than a collection of tents and rough
board shacks. Since that time he has
always played prominent part in the
progress of the city. He took a very
active part in the formation of Cas-
cade county, which was consummated
in 1887, and was appointed public adj
ministrator on the first roster of Off
GERS. He declined the position, but at
the same time had much to do with the
details in connection with county af-
fairs. The following year he again took
part in obtaining municipal charter
for the growing town on the Missouri
and, as the first city attorney of Great
Falls, practically outlined the govern
ment. During all of this time he was
Identified with all of the important land
cases in this county, serving as counsel
on one side or the other, and securing
for himself very enviable record for
success in the land office, which will
undoubtedly assist him in mining nti-
cation, to which he intends paying spe-
cial attention in Butte. His departure
means the dissolution of the firm of
Stanton & Stanton, his brother, State
Senator George H. Stanton, remaining
in this city and continuing the business.
Mr.. Stanton has innumerable friends in
this county and city and Northern Mon
tana generally. whose best wishes for
success will follow him to the great
mining camp.

EXPERTS AND ENGINEERS
Mining Investors and Engineers
on a Trip West.
TO VISIT THE BIG CAMP
Will Take In Butte and Anaconda
on Their Way to the Coast.
Members OF the American
Institute.

Along about the middle of August
Butte and Anaconda will be honored by
the presence of the largest delegation
of mining experts and engineers and in
vestors that ever visited the West. The
18th annual convention of the American
Institute of Mining Engineers will be
held in San Francisco about the last
week in August. The eastern delegates
have given it out that they intend to
go to San Francisco via Butte and Ana
conda, and will no doubt be invited to
lay over here long enough to see the
greatest mining camp in the world and
the biggest smelters in the world
The institute has it's headquarters In
New York. 1t is one of the oldest So
cieties in the country and claims the
largest membership of any organiZa-
ton of mining engineers in the world.
The delegates will come not only from
all parts of the United States, but from
Mexico, Canada, Australia, China, Ger
many, England, Peru, New Zealand,
and South Africa.
The institute expects to leave New
York about September 10. Its special
train of sleeping cars will come West
by way of Chicago, leaving that city
L
and Anaconda, Portland, and thence to
San Francisco, where the nth meeting
of the institute will be held. While in
California, excursions will be taken to
the various mineral regions, such as
Grass Valley, Nevada City. Oroville,
jamestown, Lenora, Dutch Flat, New
Almaden, ETC., and the party will re-
turn east via Arizona, taking in all the
points of mining interest in that ter
ritory The trip is expected to consume
"a days.
Spokane, says the Chronicle, will also
prepare to give the miners a royal re-
ception. 1t is expected that the east
ern delegation will be feted all along
the route to the place Of convention.
The object of these meetings is t. cX-
change information on all matters per-
tanning to mines, minerals and the most
recent Inventions in mining machinery.
Geological formation of mineral coun-
tries will be shown by maps scien-
tifcal1y drawn, while all the latest ap-
planes for working mines will be
scrutfnized and criticised. The meet
ings thus far held have been produce
tive of much improvement in the meth
DDS Of working mines. ..s+'

Cahfll DISCHARGED.

Great Falls, July 10,-Pat Cahill was
discharged this morning by the JUS
tice court In case of grand larceny.
1t appears that he contracted to bring
in from Belt a wagon that was to be
sold at sheriffs sale under foreclosure
of a mortgage. He started to fill his
contract, but before reaching Great
Falls turned it over to another man
named Depew, who promised to bring
it the rest of the way. Then the rain
fell and prevented Depew from com
plotting the contract. The lawyer at
this end, who was anxiously awaiting
the arrival of the wagon became
alarmed and swore out warrant for
Cahill's arrest. The deputy Sheriff
served the papers, finding Cahilps
sta tement of the matter to be entirely
true. They came in together, bringing
the wagon with them.

Shipped Sapphires.

Great Falls, July 1O.-George Wells
tonight shipped a large quantity of
sapphires from the Yogo mines to the
London house, where they will be sort
ed and cut. Their value, until that
operation has been completed, will be
unknown, but that they are worth a
few dollars is shown by the fact that
the shipment included one sapphire
weighing a trifie over nine earats, and
this was only a part of the original
stone, which probably weighed is or 16
carats, and when cut would have been
worth at least 81, 900. 1t had been shat
tered in blasting.

The skirt is close fitting around the

There is a great advantage in hav-

ADvICES FROM OTIS.

WASHINGTON November 22.-Gen.
Otis to-day cabled the War Depart
ment as follows:
MANILA, November 22.-Dispatch
21st from Lawton at Tayug reports
Young with cavalry and Macabebe
scouts at Aringay, with advance north
to Baong, near San Fernando, about to
move on trail east to Trinidad Young
reports considerable insurgent force
moving in that direction; that Aguin-
aldo in charge seeking to cross over
TO Bayombong. Portion Of Lawt0n's
troops now being pushed through to
Tayug with rations. Battalion Twen-
ty-fourth will join I4awton tomorrow.
Nothing from Wheaton for several
days. Macarthur operating west of
railroad and north of Tarlann. Wire
from Tarlann north not working;
troops on entire railroad line rationed
without difficulty.
"Iloilo reports seven companies of
Sixth and Twenty-sixth volunteers, I'M
der Dickman, struck insurgents north
east OF Jaro; casualties, six wounded.
Enemy left on field eighteen killed.
Diekman captured seven prisoners. four
one-pound brass field pieces, several
thousand rounds Of ammunition.
Eighteenth infantry yesterday drove in
surgents north on Santa Barbara.
Hughes, with column north and west
of Santa Barbara; reports of results
not yet received
The dispatch from Gen. Otis does not
yet make it appear that efforts to cap
ture Aguinaldo and the larger portion
OF his army will be successful. The
intention of Gen. Young to prevent
Aguinaldo reaching Bayombong seems
evident, but this seems scarcely prob
able now. Some errors have been made
in the transmission of the dispatch.
Bayonbong is evidently meant instead
of Bayombong. The town given as
Tarlanp is probably Tarlann, as the
situation of Macarthur would indicate
that he is operating not far from that
place No alarm is felt regarding the
situation of Gen. Wheaton as he has
been for some time beyond Geographic
communication.
Operations are also progressing in

Weston.
Special TO the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, November 81
An adjourned session of the Circuit
Court is being held with Judge Higgin-
botham, of Buckhannon, on the bench.
The injunction case of Ralston against
the town of Weston has occupied the
courts attention for some days. Hon.
w. w. Brannon, Mr.. Ralston's attorney,
upon being questioned tonight about
the case, said: you may say that
Judge Higginbotham refused to enforce
the mandate of the Supreme Court in
the case of Ralston against the town
of Weston, on the grounds that Ralston
has acquired rights under Jas. p. Cole
and w. B. McGary, commissioner, the
injunction was dissolved, but without
any prejudice whatever to the rights
of Ralston in any cases hereafter
brought. / consider Judge Higgin-
bothams decision a great victory for
my client"
Town Attorney E. A. Brannon was
also asked about the case, to which he
replied: The injunction was dissolved
but Judge HigginbOtham refused to
award a mandatory injunction reQuir-
ing Ralston to move his fence and
stable off of Water street for the reason
that the town had already taken pos
session of the strip Of ground in ques-
ton, and held that the mandatory in
junction was not necessary" Mr..
Brannon adds: The court held that
Ralston has mistaken his remedy in
his effort to prevent the enforcement Of
the mandate of the Supreme Court, and
must proceed in some ether way. Judge
Higginbotham dissolved the injunction,
but refused to dismiss the bill which
the Supreme Court demanded"

NEW YORK, November PA dis
patch to the Herald from Manila says:
The opinion CT many military men
and OF resident foreigners is that Ag-
uinaldo has probably escaped by chang
ing the seat of war into the northern
part of the island They think he has
taken considerable army with him.
This, il true, will necessitate new
series of operations on our part and
Aguinaldo has gained temporary
strategic advantage. Those holding
this view point out the fact that the
insurgents never intended to hold the
alleged capital at Tariac as a perma-
nent capital, as it is only slightly for
titled. They also claim that the rail-
road being left intact while much roll
ing stock was destroyed, indicates that
a rapid retreat was made several weeks
back.
This retreat must have been accom-
plished at the time Lawton began his
San Isidro movement. Therefore the
insurgents have had time to move out
their principal supplies. 1t is a fact
that our circle Of troops has been
closed up so far without material re-
sistance except in the region of escape
to the north. near Wheaton's column.
The captured supplies, too, have
proved Insignificant compared with
those that would be required. Aguin-
aldo's supposed army in this valley was
estimated at from 10000 to 10000. Their
known large quantities of artillery are
still unaccounted for.
The opinions of Gen. Otis and Gen.
Schwan differ somewhat from this view.
They say to-day that they do not know
whether or not Aguinaldo with his
army has escaped into the tobacco val
ley to the north. II so, they doubt
whether he has escaped with any con-
siderable force. They believe that
Aguinaldo himself has gone. They also
believe that considerable number OF
insurgent force is scattered in small
bands within our lines as Amigos.
Gems. Otis and Shcwan think that
within twenty-four hours we will con-
troll the Manila-Dagupan valley. The
occupation of this territory is now
more Of mechanical than a military
Iproblem.
Gen. Otis says that the railroad re-
pairs will be rushed. New rails will
hbe laid and the bridges raised. The
RAILROAD will be operated throughout in
short time. The opinion here is that
we have gained tremendous advan-
tage over the insurgents.
1t is impossible to say how large
a force Aguinaldo has been able to
hold together, or whether, after the loss
of the railroad, people in the north
will still support him.
This whole movement has shown the
advantage of cavalry for expeditions
operations in the Philippines. The
fall campaign has been remarkably Wig
orous.
1t is believed here that Aguinaldos
retreat to the north in no way affects
the confronting insurgent force south
of Manila,

Grape, cut in wide and narrow bands
straight and on the bias is the ideal Of
trimmings for mourning toilettes. The
objection to a Grape trimming used to
be that it stretched and lost Its crisp
gauzy appearance at the first touch Of
the raindrop, but since the introduction
of methods to make it waterproof the
material has taken a new lease of life
and is now able to rejoice over the
thought of being highly favored.
