COUNTY SEAT LEGISLATION.

COUNTY SEAT LEGISLATION
Mr.. Restameyer of Cavalier has intro
duced bill amending the law for the
removal of county seats. AS reported
by different authorities it has the follow
ing features:
/. That three-fifths shall be sufficient
to petition to remove county seat the
first time and two-thirds for any time
after.
2. That persons signing petition
need not acknowledge their signatures
before notary but that the oath of the
circulator shall be sufficient.
The first article would give the first
town that tried for removal the sinch on
any other town trying it after. If three
fiiths is enough to remove it the first
time, why not sufficient for the second
time? 1t is quite possible that the Sec
ond time of removal would be equally
important as the first time.
The second article is to overcome the
trouble that the Cavalier circulators en-
countered the last time. tits well known
that people will sign most anything in
the way of a petition when pressed to do
so by interested parties; but under the
law as it now stands, in signing county
seat removal petitions they have to also
swear that they are duly qualified voters
and understand what they are signing.
And it is also we'll known and has been
shown in court, that there are hundreds
of men who vote, and sometimes hold
office, who are not qualified. The court
records in this county show on their face
that some hundreds of persons, who
doubtless think they are voters, and yet
through negligence or worse in official
circles, are not citizens. It seems to us
if a man is willing to sign petition, he
ought also to be willing to say that he
has the right as qualified voter to put
his name on the petition. As such voter
he has the right to express his wishes on
such petition, otherwise his signature is
fraudulent. Ifhe swears to fraud he
commits perjury. If he don't swear,
there is no means Of Furnishing him. And
that is why the law was so amended
at last legislature. and the Cavalier peo-
pie found that the doubtful voters would
not sign. whereas with previous pc
>tition they had no such trouble. It
needs no argument to convince any rea-
sonable person that any person not a
bona fidevoter. has no business on such
2 petition, and il IS not unreasonable to
require each person signing to take the
responsibility Of saying that they have
the right to sign.

get there in which to train. If, however,
you want a match between your man and
myself for what you can make l will
come and Wrestle my man in the world

man in America (bar the Turk) a Graeco-
Roman or catch-as-catch-can match in
10 days after I reach there for $3.50 guar
anteed and first-class ticket both ways
to Minneapolis. I will wrestle any match
you may arrange for me. Understand me
plainly. I back myself. Should my
proposition suit you put it in form of a
agreeing to pay me $3.50 on the
night OF the match and arrange with your
agent to furnish me with first-class ticket

A MOLD FAMILIAR FRIEND.

Cleveland Plain Dealer: The character
of the old joke has become a decidedly
stormy one.
A few evenings ago at a little downtown
gathering one of the girls said she had
heard such a good story.
1T happened out in the East Emo only
last week. she said. "A yOung woman
whose home is on one of the prominent
cross streets was receiving a call from a
young man, and it came on to rain dread
fully. You must remember the night.
Several times the young man offered to
go, but each time it rained harder than
ever. He lived about half a mile away,
but, of course, it meant a thorough
drenching to venture out. Finally the
girl said, Well, it would be simply unciv-
ilized to turn you out such a night as
this. Brother Robert is away from home,
and you can have his room Just as we'll as
not The young man demurred a little
but finally appeared to appreciate the
force of the argument. Now, excuse me
a or tWO,' said the. young woman,
and l will see that the apartment is made
ready for you So she went up stairs
and told her mother, and then stepped
into the brothers room to see that it was
in order. She wasn't gone more than five
the young man had completely disap-
peared. 7=,.
Everybody breathed hard when she
reached this dramatic climax.
The young woman looked around the
room in a bewildered manner. Then she
looked on the hat table in the hall. His
hat wasn't there. She. was quite dazed.
She waited about in an aimless amer
vainly striving to solve the mystery. Sud-
denly she heard rapidly approaching foot
steps A second later there came a soft
rap on the door The young woman
threw it open and there stood the youth!
He was evidently soaked through n
through. Why, where on earth have o
been?' she cried.
At this point the narrator was abruptly
interrupted.
Pardon me- said one of the listeners,
"but if l remember it right the young man
said that he went home to secure his
nightshirt."
excuse me,"said another listener, 'but
the way l heard it he went home to
ask his father if he wouldn't split the
mornings supply Of kindling wood for
the kitchen stove"
II hate to be CONTRADICTORY said the
third interrupter, but I'm sure l was
told that he went home for his mammals
good night kiss"
And the story wasn't finished.

WHAT "FOIVE" A

Philadelphia Record: Golf circles are
highly amused over the mishap that befell
a young a who is widely known in
West Philadelphia. One day he and a
party Of friends, among whom was his
best girl" accepted an invitation to play
golf. They repaired on a tallyho to the
links, and after donning the proper kind
of gaudy raiment, began to play. The
young man is very proud of his golt1ng
ability, and used the extreme slang of the
game in his operations. An Irishman,
who happened along. watched the game
with interest. He stood in the way at one
time, and the young man, who was about
to knock the ball into the next county,
poised himself and yelled "Fore!" In golf
ing p%arlance fore means to look out
ahead and get out of the way. The Irish
man did not move his brawny form and
received the ball in the pit Of his stom-
ach. When he had recovered all hands
were having a hearty laugh, including
the young nan who made the stroke.
They explained to the victim what fore
meant. Without a word he walked up to
the young expert, who was still laughing,
and suddenly yelled "Foive!" Then he let
out his right in fine shape, and landed
on the young mans nose and sent him
sprawling. Faith, I alwuz seq 'foive'
when l want dhe right av way" he re-
marked, as he walked away.

In Sight For Nellie McBee, a
Young H0uSekeeper.
WRIT OF HABEASCORPUS
Applied For In the District Court to
Secure Her Release
From Bondage.

c. Macpherson, one of the head officials
| of the Associated Charities, is endeavor-
ing to get possession of a 12-year-old girl
known as Nellie McBee (Which is not her
proper nance, who is keeping house for
Garrette McBee. south of the Pine Tree
! saloon, on East Park street, and has in
voked the aid OF the county attorney to
accomplish it.
Several days ago n%eighbOrs of McBee
called the attention of Macpherson to
I the fact hat the girl was at McBee's
abin and he then attempted to get her
away from the place, but failed. On
Saturday night MACPHERSON and County
| Attorney Connolly called o n McBee and
had a talk with him in regard to the girl,
but received very little satisfaction. Nc
Bee told them the girl belonged to him,
and while there was a drop of blood IN
his body he would not consent to her be-
ing taken away. This announcement vas
accompanied by a dramatic hip-pocket
play.
Today the county attorney sued out a
writ of habeas orpus to compel McBee
to produce the child in court. 1t is the
intention to have a guardian for her APP
pointed, but it is not the calculation to
have McBee named as such.
BY occupation McBee is a miner, but
does not nave steady employment. About
three Or four months ago his wife died,
and Nellie, who had been making her
home with the McBees, was sent to Deer
Lodge. She remained at the latter place
until a short time ago, when she was
brought back to Butte by McBee to keep
house or cabin for him. There is said to
be only one bed in the cabin. In discuss
ing her position with Macpherson the girl
stated that McBee had not been guilty Of
wrong-doing towards her, but she did
not wish to stay at. such a place. IIe is
not her father. nor does he bear any rela-
ton to her. When she was 3a years Old
her mother died. but before her death
she told her aunt. Mrs. McBee, she want
ed her to take Nellie. Now that the real
protector of the girl is dead, the au-
thorities claim McRee has no right to
her.
Nellie is described as a very bright,
lady-like girl. She keeps McBee's cabin
as neat as it is possible for a cabin to
be kept, does all the cooking and still
has time to play with her dolls.
MACPHERSON has found a new home for
her. and as soon as the court finishes it's
part of the case she will be sent to it.
