Another element of popularity, and a

selves He allows no reputable man to

deal of moral courage for the Standard
to reverse itself and come out in defense
of the mayor of Butte. when he attempts
to exercise the same ~prerogative that it
denied to the mayor Of Anaconda a short
time ago. But we will let that pass.
The position taken by the Standard as
to the Inherent rights of Mayor McCar-
thy. under the law, is precisely in line
with what the Inter Mountain has stead
lastly maintained since the controversy
began. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that the Standard exhibits a somewhat
vicious spirit i'm the matter, in that it
bases the fight on the part Of the alder
men wholly on a desire to defeat Mr..
Lamb because he did not sell his vote
to w. A. Clark There is no evidence
before the public, or before the city coun-
Gil for that matter, to the effect that any
body wanted Mr.. Lamb to sell lts vote
to Mr.. Clark. Unless evidence Of that
character is brought out in the suit which
Swede Murphy brings against the Stand-
ard, or in the suit which Whitesfde has
brought against the Miner, there will be
no warrant in saying thai the opposition
to the mayor is based on the refusal Of
a member of the legislature to sell OUT
IN the senatorial proposition.
The mayors nominees for city clerk
and for chief of the fire department were
not members of the legislature at all,
yet they were turned down by the coun-
Gil just as effectively as Mr.. Lamb could
be. If the deadlock continues, that gen.
tleman will be rejected with no greater eff
fectiveness than have been the two NOM
inees that preceded him. The Standard
and the Miner seem equally jealous to
make it appear that the fight between
the council and the mayor is based on
the efforts Of the mayor to reward a man
because he refused to vote for Clark,
and the efforts of the council to punish
him for such refusal.
AS a matter of fact, both propositions
are ridiculous, regardless of the way the
city officials may feel abou them. Mr..
Lamb was elected to the legislature as
an antl-Clark man, and in maintaining
that position is entitled neither to reward
nor censure He merely stood by the
wing of the democracy that elected him,
just as any man might be expected to
do. 1t is not the duty of the mayor to
confer a reward on Mr.. Lamb, on the one
hand, nor is it the duty Of the city rour-
Gil to assume the right to punish him, On
the other hand. IA
In short, Mr.. Lambs senatorial vote
has no right to become an issue in the
city council Of Butte. The mayor has a
right TO PLACE the names Of his nominees
before he1council, and that body has
a right to confirm or reject them; but tbs
exercise of the right of rejection should
be based only on the personal unfitness
Of the nominee, ana in summing up tln
elements of unfitness it is hardly fair &c
urge membership in a democratic legis-
lature as being necessarily a fatal OBJ
lection.

answer irclosing a draft on a New

amid the most respectful silence. to that

CHICAGO. Oct. pa special to thes
Record from Deadwood, S. D., says:
Evidences of the richness of the Philip
pine Islands in precious metals have been
shown in the Black Hills towns since the
return of the volunteer companies which
served a year in the islands
Many or the Black Hills boys have had
practical experience in mining for gold
and silver, and they have been watchful
of the Philippines for indications of ore
deposits. Captain Paul McClelland, Com
pany 1, has brought back a piece of de-
composed silver ore, about half pure.
which is said to have been taken from a.
ledge about 100 feet in width situated ten
miles from Manila. The soldiers have
also brought pieces of rich gold quartz
from LuZon, the ore closely resembling
the rich free milling veins of the Black

Many of the Black Hills men have re-.

fields around Manila. Some of the re-

were burned. An old landmark was
destroyed in the burning of the Grand
Central Hotel 1t was a frame building
and was consumed rapidly. The guests
had barely time TO save themselves and
fled for safety with little apparel.
The fire originated in the barn in the
rear of Peter Hanson's saloon and spread
both east and west. When the alarm was
turned in the southwest corner of the
Grand Hotel was ablaze. officers aroused
the proprietors, who slept on the first
floor Together with others they hur-
ried through the different floors and cor
ridors. pounding on the doors, awaken

down the stairway wearing only their
night clothes. Thieves made their ap-

The most seriously injured are: Fire

SAND BURR LODGED
IN HER THROAT

OMAHA Neb., Oct PC. F. Harris
and daughter, Miss Harris, of Murray
Cass County, Neb., are in the city. Fri
day Miss Harris, while at school, met
with a very painful accident In some
way sand burr lodged in her handker-
chief and in using that article the burr
was drawn into her throat. She was
taken to the village physicians. but no
relief could be afforded her and the father
brought her to Omaha.
Several physicians were called upon
yesterday but up to last night not one
was found who could bring forth the
troublesome burr. 1t appears to be lodged
far down in the throat. having imbedded
itself in the flesh. 1t is very painful and
distressing, the young lady being unable
to eat, talk or sleep. and all the nourish-
ment taken since the accident has been
of a fluid character. Fears are enter
tanned that surgical operation will be
necessary to remove the burr.

NEGRO SOLDIERS ARE

GLOBE, Ariz.. Oct 22.-The thirteen
negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infant
ry accused of beating with clubs four
Tonto Indians on the night of October 13
at San Carlos Indian Agency had pre-
liminary hearing yesterday before United
States Court Commissioner Charles T.
Martin. The testimony of the Indian wit
nesses was unimportant, they being un-
able to identify the prisoners. Sworn

We're damaging, showing probable guilt
sufficient to justify the action of Commits

The prisoners will be taken to Florence

Court Of the Second Judicial District

TRUSTS WILL NOT BE
SEVERELY CONDEMNED
Speculation as to the Report That
Will Be Made by the Indus
trial Commission

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-That So
called trusts and combinations will not
be unqualified1y condemned in any re-
port that the Industrial Commission may
make to Congress seems evident from
the general tone of questions put by the
members and such incidental comment as
they have made while witnesses have
been testifying. In the hearings of the
last two weeks, which have brought the
sessions in Washington to a close for the
present, 1t has been made very evident
that the attitude of some of the members
OF the commission toward great corpora
tlons have been materially changed since
the sessions of early summer.
1t is realized that great corporations are
now a part of the industrial system Of
the country and attempts to regulate
them must only be made after most care
full study, if the danger of substituting
greater evils than those now complained
of is to be avoided. The commission has
been much impressed with the part that
the great aggregation of capital IN indus
trial corporations, aided by railroads, is
playing In building up the foreign com
merce of the country. This point was first
forcibly brought out by John D. Archi-
bald Of the Standard Oil Company. 1t
has since been emphasized by witnesses
representing the great iron and steel COM
binations and the whisky trust, who have
contended that If a foreign commerce in
American manufacturers is to be built up
and maintained it must be done by large
corporations.

Rev B. Fay Mills, the well-known Uni

Church to-day, and II is stated on most
reliable authority that the trustees Of the
Unitarian church of this city have pre-
vailed upon him to occupy the pulpit
every Sunday from now until next spring,

signed.

spirit of his sermon was in the main

The coming church in the view or Kew
Mr.. Mills is to be simply preservation
of all that is best. in the church that has
been and the application of it in broader
sense to the service of man.
The congregation this morning filled
every seat in the church, and the sermon,
both In matter and manner OF delivery,
proved to be very satisfactory. Rev. Mr.
Mills left on this afternoons train to
preach for Rev. Robert Wilcox in the
latters pulpit in Sacramento, the occa-
sion being the fftieth anniversary OF his
church-the First Congregational. Rev.
Mr. Mills is also invited to preach in one
of the Congregational churches of this
city, and in view of his positive 1dentifl-
cation with the Unitarian body these evil
denceS of kindly feeling on the part or
orthodox ministers and people may be ac-
cepted as a tribute to his genius as a
preacher and his honesty as a Christian
gentleman.
