A UNIQUE APPEAL.
An Aged Veterans Letter to Henry
 Clay Evans.

 To the Commissions of Pensions: The following communication Is written in relation To my delayed application For an augmentation Of my pension appropriation. Some sort of explanation Why so much hesitation And continued procrastination Would give much qualification. A year after my application, Before an order for examination Reached it's destination, went before the board for exam1na-
 tion; And, if they correctly reported my sl'-
 uation, It was total prostration Of my physical organization. I received from them this information, fin uttsr consteruation. That cataracts were causing cessa-
 ticn, And soon a termination. To my visual observation. In my crippled situation | I've labored in desperation To protect from want and starvation | Nv ten children, my appropriat1Cn | 1 To the strength of the nation, 1 And to increase it's population. l My age s5venty-seven, near the ter
 imitation Of my earthly probation. Twenty years a widower, more than
 half a generation, Charity furnishes me a habitation, 1 And a portion of my daily ration Blindness denies me the qualification 1 Of reading anw news publication For general information; But for my daughters kind ministra-
 tion I should be driven to desperation. She prepares my frugal ration, Reads to me some news publication, Leads me fer exercise and recreation, Attending. ny daily wants her voca-
 ton. If couId obtain an increased remun-
 eration To keen me from want and privation Until my life's termination It would give great consolation. There will be no widow to make ap-
 nlication For it's further continuation. Should you reject this application, The poorhouse will be my destination. My daughter copies this communica-
 tiCn From my pencil scrawls and dictat1on

MT. Mcnihon's unexplained and un- explainable anxiety to elect himself mayor may well make every republican pausa as he prepares his bahlot to- day. And when the voter remembers that the man whose cheek, pleading and persistence have unfortunately for the party captured tha republican nomination, is a man notoriously in competent and unfit for the proper discharge of the duties CT mayor, the call to good citizenship should be needed before the mechap- ieal call of party.

ELEVENTH HOUR PROMISES.

No candidate in any campG,gn that we ever heard cli has made so many nromises at variance with his habits and methods as has MT. Monlhon in the present campaign. One unac- uuainted with his character who might have heard him a few weeks ago denouncing the republican ad- ministration for it's attitude toward municipal ownership. and annexation would have been justified in assuming that there was a man of convictions and with the courage to stand by them The last week has demonstrat- ed the fckleness of MT. Monihon's s character His former boldness has given way to the most abject serviity. His daily task of late has been the task of making promises. He has prostrated himself before his enemies and has fawned upon people whose good offices he considers necessity to his success. We all know his former attitude toward Ex-Mayor Adams. MT. Adams not long ago made state ments concerning MT. MonihOn's s treatment of him in connection with the assessment of the Hotel Adams property which reflected directly on the honesty of MT. Monihon. Al though opportunity was afforded him to deny the truth of the eI-mayor's charge Mir Monihon kept silence. It is a matter Of current gossip that four days ago MT. MorLhon, oppressed by the fear of defeat, sought MT. Adams. apologized to him in the most servle manner for the injury he had done him since he became a citizen Of Phoenix and promised to help bring about public improvements in which MT. Adams had been interested, and which he, Monihon, had up to that time done all in his power t5s retard. Now we hear of the Candidate going among the church people and promis- ing to abolish Sunday band concerts. to shut up the saloons on. Sunday and to prevent street preachers from carrying on their. exhortations on the street corners. It is not the purpose of i this article to discuss the merits oi the questions involved in these prom ises but to point out the danger o1 elec.ing a man who on the eve ol cleo tion, day is willing to turn his back on all his previCJs professions ane methods as mayor and make indiscriminate pledges covering every
 question that has been raised in thii municipality A man who will assumi such a position is utterly unfit to b' mayor What possible weight can b'
 attached to promises made by such man? Who is there so credulous as tt
 believe that Mir Monihon will keel
 tElase pledges? Beware CT tn

 of Moninon giving pledges Hi promises arc but campaign promises

Senatorial Elections.
IAIIEnRNIA

D NV
Sacramento, Jan. 12.-The legisla-
ture met in joint session again today
and took three ballots for United
States senator. The third ballot re-
suited as follows: j. II, Sewell, "a; U.

Bulla, .: Barnes, 10; Patterson, 2;
Bard, .; Estee, =; George Knight, 2;
Scott, =; FELTON,, =; Rosenfeldt, 2.
The general impression prevails that
the deadlock will lastfo a long time,
possibly two or three weeks. 1t was
reported this afternoon that Grant
would withdraw from the contest,
but this IL denied by his supporters.
The withdrawal, should il takeplace,
will not occur for several days.

RAILROAD RUM0RS.
Montana Railroad to Extend Its lin Toward
LewistOwn This Year,

While at Leadboro last month w.
II. Mcfarland met the superintend-
ent of the Montana railroad, who
said to him: You may tell yourpeo-
pie at Lewistown that we will be
there next fall" This comes as an
authoritative announcement from
n of the prominent officials OF the
road that the cOmpanycontemplates
extending its line this year, and nat
urally in the direction OF LewistOwn,
the centerO Of thegreat stock and trade
interests of central Montana. While
not stated, it il probable that the
line will follow the Musselshell valley
to near Merino and then turn north
through the Judith Gap, making the
terminal in Iewistown. By this
move the road would secure prac-
tically all the freight and passenger
traffic of this great section, besides
being In close touch with the mines
of the Judith and Moccasin noun
tains, which are each year becoming
greater producers OF the yellow metal
and promise to be the center OF great
mining development. II the srperin.
tendent's words were well weighed
before utterance, we may expect act
i've building operations to begin al
an early date in the spring.

Helena, Jan. 15.-Outside OF the
senatorial fight there il little interest
in legislative circles. The line be-
tween Clark and DAILY men is rigidly
drawn and the situation today looks
as II Clark would win or no senator
be elected. The Silver Bow million
aire certainly has the long end Of the
poker, but the end IL not quite long
enough to win a fight with, and he
must either gain from DAILY or draw
some Republican votes. Republicans
continue to vote " a unit for prom
inent members Of their party, having
already cast complimentary ballots
for Marshall, Sanders and Power,

THE EATING OF CANDY.
How the Qualification of a CT
Sweet Tooth Should be Regulated.

To the average child there are ty
delights so great that the sophis

other to eat candy. One woman con-
fesses that when she was small girl.
and was told that heaven was a place
OF absolute bliss, she instantly de-
clded IN her own mind that in that
place there would be gallon freezers of
Ice cream always standing open, and
mat the trees would bear on their
branches and drop upon the ground
below thousands of candies.
1t pity that an article whose wise
use gives so much pleasure and works
so little harm as does good CANDY
should have been abused until it has
become an evil. Some parents feel
that to keep their children in health
they must forbid them to eat candy at
any time, while other parents permit
1t to be devoured in such quantities
that their ignorance can be their only
excuse for the sin of allowing such in
diligence. Dentists and physicians
unite in the opinion that pure candy,
eaten in proper quantities and at
proper times, can do a we'll child no
harm. Good candy may be now pro-
cured from many dealers, the purity
of whose bonbons has Justly won for
them regulations. Let the mother buy
these candies and portion them out to
