 Madison, Wis, Jan. 31.-Wisconsin's S senatorial deadlock was broken today by the election of Joseph V. Quarles, a wealthy business man of Milwaukee, to succeed John H. Mitchell. Thus ends the first senatorial deadlock in this state and it leaves a good deal of bitterness between the different repub- Hcan factions. Congressman Babcock and ex-Congressman Stephenson were the leading candidates when the bal loting began, but as it was pretty much a case of anything to beat the other with their followers, Quarles came in and carried off the prize.

County Division Project.

EDITOR ARGUS: When this county
was cut or set off from Meagher-
which then extended from the Mis-
souri, river to the mouth of the Mus
selshell-we consulted the members
from Yellowstone county, and they
were satisfied with the Musselshell as
the boundary, and when the vote on
the bill creating this county was a
tie in the house, Mr.. Norton, a mem.
Der from Yellowstone, changed his
vote and gave us our county as ii is,
although he had voted against and
helped to defeat five other new county
bills.
1t IL true. on paper this IL large
county, but the size of anything does
not always prove its worth. Much
OF the eastern part Of thiscounty and
the bad lands along the Missouri look
as II they were composed of the de-
bris Of Ignatius Donnelly's comet
Robert Ford. an intelligent old-timer
and stock-raiser, said in speech In
Helena many years ago that, taking
one year with another, 1t would take
fourteen acres OF our average bench
lands to pasture steer during the
year.
One thing is certain, that with the
exception Of vegetables, beef and
mutton-although we have the far
famed Judith Basin within our
boundaries we freight into this
county nearly everything we eat.
Most OF our flower, bacon and hams,
some Of our butter and all our corn
and oatmeal, cheese and potatoes
have been brought from both rail-
roads and cabbage from California.
Our taxes are all we can pay now.
Ours are over IL percent Of our gross
receipts, and one Of our neighbors
has to pay over $1,000, enough to
buy good farm in some of the
states.
No, let us reduce expenses. keep the
county lines where they are, but let
us make good, direct roads 40 that
the settlers south OF the SnOwies can
have easy access TO the county seat,
give them their full share Of the Of
ficea and make them feel they are Il
part OF us. JAMES FERGUS.

FATHER DEMANEZ KILLED.
The Catholic Rector OF Lewistown Fatally
Injured In q Wreck on the Montana
Central Railroad,

Friday afternoon last word was
received by telephone that Rev.
Father Emanuel Demanez, rector Of
the Catholic diocese of Lewistown,
Belt ard Ncihart, had been killed in a
wreck on the Montana Central. The
first report left 1t doubtful whether
any Others had been killed, but furth-
er inquiry proved that the Father
was riding in a caboose on n freight
train and that no one else was even
injured
The news was received with sorrow
by his many church people and
friends of all denominations in Lewis
town, by whom he was both respect
ed and admired.
Deceased came to Lewistown from
Seattle about four years ago and has
since labored constantly and untir-
ingly to the upbuilding Of the
Catholic faith Ia this section and the
Improvement Of the Catholic proper
ty. He was born In Flanders,
Belgium about fifty years ago and
came to this country nearly twenty
years ago.
He left Lewistown Monday, Dec.
26, to visit sick members of his
charge In Belt and had left Great
Falls on the way freight in order to
reach Benton In season to catch the
outbound coach from there Friday
morning, intending to conduct
services here Saturday night and
Sunday.
The Benton River Press of Friday
furnishes the following account Of
the wreck: "A fatal railroad COL
lision occurred about 6 O'Clock Thurs
day evening near Tunis station,
about ten miles west of Fort Benton.
The first section Of an east bound
freight train was taking water at
that point, when the second section
came along and crushed into the
rear end OF the stationary cars.
Father Demanez, OF Lewistown, who
had been visiting a sick friend at
Great Falls, was riding in the ca
boOse of the first train, intending to
catch the Lewistown coach which
leaves this city on Friday morning
He was badly crushed In the wreck,
his left leg and back being broken. In
addition to other serious injuries.
He was brought to Benton Mt once
and taken to st. Clare hospital,
where he expired after three hours of
fearful agony"
The remains were taken to Helena
and inferred In the Catholic cemetery.
The funeral services were held In the
cathedral Of the Sacred Heart and
were very impressive. Bishop Bron-
del officiating at pontificial high
mass, assisted by local clergy and
priests from Butte, Great Falls and
Fort Benton.
The death OF father Demanez
caused n hush In the usual good
times OF the hali-breed citizens on
New Years and the dancing was
omitted from their celebration.

hrs. BOTKIN GUILTY.
The Jury Returns Q verdlct-imprisonms
For Life.

San Francisco, December 3d.
Rather to the general surprise of
those who have folio wed the Botkin
trial, and to the dismay OF the de-
fendant and her attorney, Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin was tonight found
guilty of murder In the first degree
for causing the death of Mrs. Jane
Dunning, by sending box OF poison
ed candy to her temporary home In
Dover, Del. The condemned murd-
ress will be spared an ignominious
death at the gallows. however, the
Jury that found her guilty imposing
also a penalty of life Imprisonment.
The verdict was unexpected. An
acquittal was confidently awaited
by the defense, while the prosecution
feared disagreement. Rumors
had been in circulation to the effect
that seven OF the jurors stoutly
favored the defense and that their
opinions were too firmly grounded
to be capable OF change. Although
the jury was not out four hours
more than one Of which was devoted
to dinner, it is currently reported to-
night that the verdict was the re-
suit OF a compromise. The sex of
the prisoner made such concession
satisfactory to the jury. Consider
ing the unexpectedness Of the verdict,
Mrs. BOtkin kept herself well In hand
when the verdict was announced.
Not until the iurymen and most of
the spectators had left the court
room did she give evidence OF col
lapse. Then she sat back half faint
ing, but speedily revived when given
a given a glass OF water.

lation to counteract the effects OF this
continual exodus of rich Americans.
They do, from the standpoint of the
tax gatherer, take, money out of the

but he pays to the British government

stated, but II the assessors do not err
on the side of mercy, his income tax In
England must be some $4,000 a year.
His being an American will not help
him. He must pay. And naturally he
doesn't feel like paying a personal tax
in New York at the same time, though
no has heretofore done this.
1t would only take ten men of Mr..
Astor's wealth, transplanted from the
United States to England, to pay the

This would be serious loss to the tax
able rates of this country, and, as things
are, it falls most heavily upon New

Mr.. Julian Ralph has computed that

Americans do not go to live In England

DelmonicO's is a public institution
There was time when Sherry's, backed
by the powerful influence of the Astors,
who own the handsome Sherry build
ing, contested the supremacy with
"Del's." But the indescribable scenes
of the famous "SeeIey dinner" nearly
ruined Sherry's and drove it to catering
for cheaper class of trade. Now that
Delmonlco Is in the same neighborhood,
its rival will have even a harder task to
survive.
The older house has never made a
blunder; 1t has never truckled to a

courtesy Her order is tnken-and the
waiter forgets TO come back. If an
other waiter Is called, he also takes the
order and forgets to come back. By

she cannot stand IL any longer; she
rises and goes out-bowed from the
door with the utmost civility by the
head waiter. She never comes back.
By such gently firm measures has the
famous house maintained it's position
as the most decorous of New York res
tauTants. Its private rooms have never
witnessed anything worse than gam
